God sure did bless us with KZbin. How many of these voices would be missed by so many ears.

[@MrElansea]

Every once in a while, exceptionally, someone makes a cover as good as or even better than the original. This is one of those times.

[@CheradanineZakalwe]

Never been a Springsteen appreciator but have listened to him doing this and for me Amy nails it. She 'feels' it and articulates it whereas he just shouts it. I struggle with Scottish accents too, despite living quite close tot the border but I can understand with no difficulty every word she says and I like the way she says them.

[@Rafaelmllv]

Like Hurt - Johnny Cash / Nine Inch Nails

[@MrJimmyT]

That is exactly what it is.

Every once in awhile indeed - but this isn't one of those - a poor version.

Thank you Amy MacDonald for this, your awesome Version of this Classic Song.

[@claireverenicoll1483]

This is one of the most beautiful versions of this song I ever heard..Amy's haunting and lovely Scottish voice makes it totally unique. I love her style too! It is always super cool

[@tonyceltic8009]

It is awful! this song should be sung very powerful and loud and sung with emotion not like your in sunday school!

I think Bruce Springsteen might have performed this song already but I dunno for sure. ❤

she destroys totally the song!!!

This was my life before I met, proposed, and married my wife Victoria on ABC-TV on New Years Eve in Times Square. The wedding was shown live in front of 45 million viewers on Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve 85. Was truly tired sitting around trying to write that book. I needed a love reaction and 36 years later still getting one 💋

I've been a Springsteen fan since the 1970s. I saw him live in his prime many times back then. This is a beautiful version of his song. I think she does a great job with it.

[@seanpower660]

Aw my god!! What a perfect rendition of a beautiful song! Despite her obvious nerves, regarding the high class of who she was performing in front of, she absolutely performed into it and blew it away. She had the power of a queen by the end of it. Should be really proud of herself. Well done.

[@jordanwilliamson9208]

Credit to the orchestra and the sound guys and gals. How the orchestra balances, compliments and enhances Amys vocals without eever dominating and taking over. As a fellow Scot i cant believe i grew up listening to Amy and never heard of this cover untill now. Only 14 million views late to the party but waw i cant wait to listen again and again

[@jacquelinekeight-cunliffe7078]

I'm a massive Amy fan and my eldest daughter who is 36 years old and is into Rap and R & B and didn't bother to listen to any of her music but I kept playing Amy's music and suddenly and eventually she became interested and is now a big fan too so it's now brought us together more by listening to each other's music and we have now such an eclectic mix and embrace all the music we play to each other .I've also got her into 60's music and I've got into Eminem and kid Cudi .Music really does speak to us and brings people together.I'm so happy and Amy is such a talented artist .I love it when she sings the line 'I take a look in the mirror ' and she gives a cheeky smile (makes me wonder if she is looking /singing to someone in the audience .

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

I'm a huge Springsteen fan and have no problem whatsoever with those who like this version better than Bruce's, or, for that matter, anyone liking a cover version of any of his songs. He's written about 350; over half covered by someone, and some covered by 50 bands or individuals. Like whatever or whomever you like. There's no reason for fans to be defensive when others prefer covers over the original. He established himself as one of America's greatest song writers over 30 years ago with his first seven albums; Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ (1973); The Wild, the Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle (1973); Born to Run (1975); Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978); The River (1980); Nebraska (1982), and Born in the USA (1984). He's released something like 12 -13, very good to brilliant, studio albums between 1987 and 2014, but even more, it's his concerts that set him apart from any other performer. No songwriter/performer in the world comes close. His position is quite secure. No defense needed. Let people like whomever they like. Nice job, Amy.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

I was responding to the comments that express dislike for this treatment, and to the thumbs down voters. You're in the clear on Dancing in the Dark. However, there are certain songs that are so sacred, his performance so definitive, they should not be covered by anyone, ever. If you like covers of those songs, next time Bruce and I speak I may have to report you. Examples? Backstreets Jungleland Something in the Night Incident on 57th Street

[@lifesgreat9951]

Very brave to stand up there on her own singing such an iconic song. Well done.
