When you play cover gigs live, you're basically obligated to stay true to the original record. But on KZbin you have more liberty to make them uniquely your own. Check out this version of Wind of Change: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2TYi2dudrmIjdk

[@caseywallace2240]

Bullshit. If you have your own sound then do it. As a musical artist you should have absolute freedom on any song. Wtf?? Thats the most retarded statement ive heard. Its music. Make it your own. Own it. Rock it.

[@AndalusianIrish]

It's excellent. I just think they just need to increase the tempo just a smidge and it would be perfect. But she has that sultry edge that Alannah has for sure.

[@babydollrock]

What key did you play it?

[@lemmingt6207]

best version ive heard. everyone else is too smooth she's raspy in the right way, the right amount of attitude.......... its great!

[@Tom-dz6yo]

2nd and 3rd that, my man. Well said!! Wholly support that assessment based on all the versions I've heard.

[@caseywallace2240]

Yeah. Gravely. Right spots almost

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

She has so much power in her voice and she doesn't have to go to extremes. That's rare.

[@jannasachna9379]

gosh her voice is so freaking good!she made the best cover of this song!!!

[@rainbowrose9299]

Yes this is incredible. Similar to original but actually more powerful!!! Amazing.

[@thulanidngubane8603]

Black Power ❤️. The baas line. The rhythm and guitar. The drummer. The lonely voice. The bland of musicians coming together to make us happy ❤️😭❤️

[@user-hh3pw9ii3v]

Best Cover ever, even better than original. What a Voice!! So powerfull

[@markorocka1422]

Man - I absolutely LOVE the harmony vocals. They blend so smooth!

The best cover of this I have ever heard

[@tutorube]

Probably yes, but we still have Daria Zarytskaya long time ago) But still 🤩

[@vladimirpetkov3384]

This performance deserves serious recognition! Absolutely amazing! This is by far the best cover of Black Velvet. I love Abby's voice techniques combining finesse and strong rock notes. Stunning!!

[@JenniferBuechner]

I love how you slowed it down from the original. You have a beautiful, captivating voice. I am getting ready to upload my cover of this in a few days, as I just had a breast cancer surgery and am recovering. I am watching other covers on KZbin to pass the time while I heal.

[@Anne7758]

Great all around. I hear Grace Slick, Cher, Stevie Nicks. And the band serves the song. Brilliant.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

Very nicely done. I'm glad YT happened to add this to my recommendations today.

[@delly60]

What a voice, fantastic !

Good voice

[@darcelhunter5325]

Best version of this song

[@justaguy138]

Mercy. What a cover.

[@22pilgrim]

Every once in a while the KZbin algorithm throws up a diamond - this is definitely one of those occasions! First time that I've come across Abby Skye: I'll be searching for more of her work. Love the husky voice and wonder if she has covered anything by Julie Driscoll, Beth Hart or Stevie Nicks. The guitarist isn't too shabby either !

[@GunzalesBandares]

Vocalist, good job. And all guys too/

[@xvanquish1134]

She sounds great

[@topz1067]

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet and that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon What could you do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet in that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet in that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please If you please If you please Mmhmm Mmhmm

[@aleksandarruzic3472]

Best live version ever.

[@cParman9]

I love how unlike most they actually slowed the beat down instead of speeding it up. Plus her voice is amazing.

[@j.alfredomartinez487]

Una Chulada de cover me encanta la banda, Pero Específicamente La Voz de está Dama su tecitura Vocal sublime Saludos desde 🇲🇽.

[@ReggieSears]

GREAT vocal! And I love the tempo, it’s sexy and Bluesier than the original. Great job on the backup vocals and harmonies too!

[@PinoBenattiMusicDrums158]

👏👏👏

[@user-oj1xl6tr3y]

Здорово 👍 наикрутейшие музыканты сильнейшее исполнение

[@riopugliese]

A very slow and, therefore, very tough version. It takes balls. Awesome: holding the listener's attention with such a slow tempo, that's not an easy thing.

[@guitarfanatic2000]

Amazing

[@megadezziescat1124]

Wow sounds so good. Will listen to it again and again. Love the rasp.

[@HitWaveMusic]

just keep listening over and over so the video will rank higher and I'll make more money. Thank you. God bless!

Drummer has to listen to the original recording for the hi-hat accents, so important for the song

Little hottie. And damn good vocals

I like this version even more than the original one )

[@rosskendall3310]

Hey, I have a question. If this is live, how can the lead singer pull the mic away from her mouth, but there is no variation in loudness?

Is that Leonard Hofstadter on bass?

[@giseletanne5139]

[@michaelwoodall6223]

Better than the original!

[@pejan]

The song is in a twice slower rhythm, at times it resembles a funeral procession. Only the chorus stands out, thanks to the great head of the singer, but the rest of the time you would fall asleep

[@INTP_Rhapsody]

Wowww better than the original!!!

[@kurtpedersen3265]

Got to be the best cover i've heard,raspy,sensual and sexy❤

[@LeciaLouise]

Smooth, sexy singing... Great performance Abby. Lovely band too.

[@LouKodge]

Fabulous version, sound recorder needed to bring her voice down a little a notch or two as it dominates too much.

[@Nastya85158]

It's HER song, so if it dominates, it's because it's HER song, nobody else's

[@nicoleacosta586]

I want to sing for you

[@archieohare]

Это просто охуенно чуть более, чем полностью!!!!

[@rainbowrose9299]

Nicole scherzinger sang a little of it. It would have been awesome had she done it in full.

[@christianlangevin511]

MADE IN CANADA.....SONG FROM THE 90.....?

[@daiiahi3403]

So sultry......

[@gjones7777]

usually..........covers are at best a facsimile of the original , the notes are there but they lose the heat and the passion, the "music" of the original. ABBY is absolutely bringing the heat! Smokin! The ONLY suggestion I have is for the band to bring a little more heat also. ALL the guys are obviously excellent players , I'd just prefer a little "kickin it" from the bass and drums...and I'm pretty sure they can bring the heat. And that's the ONLY thing I'd change.....really REALLY good job!

[@musicmanhunter1]

just sitting on the chair to sing WOW super sexy Lady and Great talent

[@kenhoward3512]

Abby has definitely got it. The guitarist... badly lacking the fire and attitude of Alannah's lead player.

[@HitWaveMusic]

This is way slower and softer than the original. It's also one guitar player, whereas the original recording has multiple guitar layers, both clean acoustic and a crunchy electric rock leads. That might be what you're hearing, unless you're simply talking about his physical stage presence. In that case... it's definitely a lot easier to have fire and attitude when you're playing a song that you actually wrote in front of a packed stadium, as opposed to performing another redundant cover gig in exchange for peanuts and soda. That being said... He does look like he is half asleep. LOL :D
