Am I the only one actually enjoying this? She sounds just fine to me, and I actually LOVE that guitarist, he has a very soft voice that compliments Christina's pretty well. He was a great backup singer, I think they should sing together more often. :,3

I was absolutely captivated by the emotion she sang with. Elegant and stunningly beautiful. One of my favorite videos ever. I listened to it again, because once was not enough. They both were 'In it', and they took me there too. Well done!

This version is a folk vocal instead of pop. Love the raw clear voice of this version. Authentic talented artist. Beautiful teeth.

[@TheAngeladigi]

I wish they played more music like this on the radio so beautiful, and pure

[@cassleung2007]

I loved the song when I first heard it on the radio; like I really loved it; but it wasn't until I was at the wedding of two people I love dearly and saw them dance to this song as they gazed at each other that I realized how emotional and sweet this song really is. I love it even more now.

[@billyvitale8994]

There are some comments on the guitarists vocals... I find them very good... in fact I pretty sure that his parts were quite challenging and he executed very well.. as far as the way the voices mix.. that is basically a question of how voices mix.. and getting the volumes right ... the guitarists work was excellent... who is he?....

[@rociomendonca5134]

This song is... the most amazing love promise I've ever heard.

[@giuturista]

she is perfect .. i love her voice ..

[@rachaelandrews3493]

this transports me to what I imagine a performance in some tiny dark folk music club in the 60's would be like. And I have always thought of this as just another pop song. Simply stunning, I have wet cheeks.

[@bluntie52]

so much musicality and depth........Christina should go very far with her music.....and so down to earth.....very special girl

[@johnlugo3975]

She is so beautiful and what a beautiful voice its healing to me xx

[@monicapttrsn]

So what if Christina was slightly off-key on a few notes. She doesn't have to perform perfectly and flawlessly every time. At the end of this song, I feel relaxed and soothed. I give her and the guitarist an A+ for this performance. If we wait for a human being to perform perfectly and flawlessly for us, we might be waiting a heck of a long time, because humans are not perfect and flawless. Sure the digital recording process can correct a few notes that are slightly off key....but overall, Christina is a great singer, she does a great job, and I like her music. And Christina, you have my permission to make a mistake or two. The experience of listening to you sing this song is phenomenal.

[@user-pe2yq3zj9u]

monicapttrsn I agree😕💘but Sam Smith isn't far from being perfect 😭his live performances are perfect 💘

[@MIKEK3NT]

Technically it’s her song so in my book it’s perfect even if it sounds off key

[@ronaldedwardututaonga8254]

If she was off key ...I certainly didnt hear it ..... shes bloody fantastic .... as a singer myself? I know that feeling all too well of being outa key ...its a sucky experience to go thru ... but it all depends on th mix ...being able to hear th monitor and being self confident in your abilities.... I learnt th hard way thru trial and error ... what I could and couldn't do ... and I pushed myself to my absolute limits ... then I convinced myself that singing works on th same principle as body building....th more effort I put in ?...th better I get .... and it turned out to all be true ...from my early days of singing to where I am now? My confidence is thru th roof and then some .... she'll get better with age too...

[@foreversunrise8749]

Zager and Evans. Two voices. Two guitars. Rarely perfect. It's the emotion that draws me in, I'll take that over flawlessness any day.

[@shivani2821]

what a lyric .... i m speechless
