[@vertederox]

Am I the only one who needs to come back here and listen to this? I don't even call it a guilty pleasure anymore, because IT IS a delicious pleasure

[@annabelheijman5501]

Me too x

[@keiph4364]

Was just randomly wondering if she ever did an acoustic of this and now i'm here for the first time. I actually f ound Boyce Avenue's cover before this one lol

[@dinbali]

haha yes

[@crawlermonkey]

Not at all.

[@annabelheijman5501]

Noo mee too!

[@mariamh1535]

She's got a really unique and fabulous voice!

[@putunidayanti92]

Yayyy😘

[@tredue6642]

i agree sooo much with you

[@johngibbs8442]

Never heard a voice like hers. I really like it, and its always great to hear something unique.

[@randomandabsurd6758]

Yeah it's crazy there is something i can't explain.

[@DudleyDragonEpisodes]

The difference is the pitches and notes. In the studio she sang more up note, in the acoustic she sang downwards. Thats probably what people meant

[@Martinwhoo]

Kesha voice is also Unique and Selna Gomez voice and Ellie Voice

[@AprilDineOfficial]

She sounds the same as Lena Meyer-Landrut, winner from German Eurovision Songcontest 2010

[@Martinwhoo]

April Dine little bit differents yes, i agree with u, but ellie is better, not thag Sattelite were bad

[@RosaFernan]

Her voice is magical

Is it just me or does her singing make her 100.000.00 times hotter, my god shes incredible.

[@wrenrhodes1155]

She has a very unique and gifted voice, the only singer I can say she reminds me a bit of sometimes is kate bush, listen to wuthering heights and you'll see what I mean.

[@saintthrillah]

alright settle down guy lol

To the people saying she's singing out of tune, she's actually singing in a minor key instead of a major and it's actually a really beautiful flair

You're right. Unfortunately, most people are stupid musically and have know clue when someone as talented as Ellie are singing..

[@neethup9141]

Her transitions from chest voice to head voice/falsetto is so smooth omg

It's a thin weak voice with no power. You don't need a chest voice to sing like that.

I must admit I wasn't expecting much and she blew me away.

[@an.dr.16561]

she was aaaa maaa zinnng

[@NFtheend]

you weren't expecting much because you already knew she wasn't born with a gifted voice. However, she pulled off a few tricks and gave a decent performance.

[@ejmac11]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@tredue6642]

Same actually

[@SimonHaestoe]

@@NFtheend and you're a fucking robot. you're literally saying "she pulled off a few tricks", about a fellow human being, as if she's a fucking circus monkey. Try being showing half as much humanity as her -- not to mention in front of millions of people, as she does -- and then come back to share what you learned about life and huamnity.

[@earlgrey2130]

Like this accoustic version the best of all that i've heard so far

[@CrispyLlamasMedia]

I love the rasp in her voice.

[@likeablizzard9]

Yes

[@EverlastingStudiosFR]

Especially her accent in her singing. She's angelic. I recommend going to see her live. She's memorizing.

[@CrispyLlamasMedia]

I intend on doing so.

[@SabrinaCrumpler]

Just love her voice, the way she sings is so magical. She is a better singer than other ones that are out there using auto tune.

So rare to see singers actually not use autotune, good singing! these are the real singers everyone ;) so good

[@geelad6969]

she could still be using it, you can autotune live vocals escpecially on radio, i dnt think she is cos she missed a note at 2,53. with that still incredible.

[@elgra11]

I love the real authentic reaction of her, when she realized, that she nailed it and she did indeed. Just a very talented musician, that performed very well and is proud of it. No fake feelings.

[@ph0kused]

her falsetto is so good.

[@akoosiinhel]

I dont get it. I dont think those are good falsettos.

[@liamhughes2692]

+Aki Pamatian Her voice actually seems pretty weak. I love the song, but it's not a great example of a powerful, mature voice.

[@manofwealthandtaste136]

+Liam Hughes She sounds like she has a sore throat. It seems pretty hoarse.

LOL didn't notice that!

[@alexanderleeart]

hahaha I saw him staring but I didn't catch the way he rose his head up

I remember... I was going somewhere one day and I turned on my radio and she was singing this. I had to stop everything and just close my eyes and listen to this. I'm surprised I'm just now finding this video, but I've been a true fan ever since I first heard her sing this.

[@sebastianbasaldua5419]

I must confess: I fell madly in love with this artist, this song and this version. Certainly, I feel it is the most perfect triology in the history of Western music. Without euphemisms: it is simply perfect.

That's what you call a real artist. They sound the SAME live as they do in the studio! Love her voice!

[@JK_JoshKelly]

She sounds WAY better live unlike many other musicians. I personalty like this version better than the radio version. Puts me at peace.

It's great how her voice sounds without the auto-tune they added for the radio release of this song. I wish more artists sing acoustic so they can showcase their real voice without studio sound effects.

I always felt really stupid and self conscious whenever I record my vocals in front of people because I do the Christina Aguilera hand thing, but I feel so much better seeing how she also uses it to stay in control of a lot of pitch changes.

Came back to watch this in 2020 and it seems now I have even more respect for this performance. She was so pro at this point already, just the way she is able to control her voice and even subtly changes her positions as compared to the mic in order to make it sound the way it should during certain higher notes.
