I can't imagine having the talent and ability to make that kind of sound come out of me. Singing is such a gift.

[@MicHELLZway]

For 16 years old, she portrays so much soul in this. This gives me goosebumps!

[@videoprojman3666]

Go listen to Kate Bush. The person who made the original. You can find songs she did at 13 in the early 70s that are wildly powerful for that age.

[@nvwcj22]

Wow! Her voice is gorgeous! So beautiful and mature for a 16yr old. All the best Hope Murphy you're gonna do fantastic! Looking forward to your future recordings.

[@belindasimpson7695]

Ms. Hope Murphy has some pipes on her and she has a gift of song interpretation that is way beyond her years. A gift to reach an audience will feeling. Some people have to learn this skill but this young lady seems to innately have this gift. Looking forward to seeing great things from her. Good luck hope.

[@ReignsOfficial]

Aw thank you so much! What a lovely comment hehe, made me smile :) Im so glad you enjoyed my version of this song, it's such a beautiful song I just had to sing it! :) Hope x

[@Stokie250]

Never give up. Your voice is very emotional and unique.. Keep it up Hope

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Watch the original by Kate Bush. Not only did she sing it with skill, beauty, and emotion, she's the one who actually composed it. It's from her. The lyrics, the melody, the orchestration. She was an insane talent, and there's never been another quite like her. Listen to Hounds of Love and you'll get an idea. By the way, she was discovered by David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. She was 15 years old at the time and had already composed 50 songs. Lyrics and music. That's crazy. She would go on to become perhaps the most distinct, talented, and influential female artist in the history of pop music, and greatly admired among musicians and singers.

[@earf222]

If I ever heard a angel sing im sure they wouldn't even come close to you... AMAZING!!!

[@SelinaGeorgy]

Woooow, the chills she gave me was immense. Salute princess.

[@allegrarivera5383]

She was just super nervous but you can’t hide talent and she is amazing. 💜💜💜

[@DjNiqueed]

Simon thank you for this, this was an exceptional audition!!!!!!!

[@jimflores9098]

She killed it...wow.

[@tessarix]

OMG I'm sitting here crying! I'm a mother and my husband hadn't gotten home yet to take me the hospital before I went into real active labor. One of his friends was staying at my house and he drove me to the hospital at 90 mph. When my husband was located and arrived, he flew down the halls and into the delivery room, seeing me and me seeing him, how breathless he was from running from the parking lot to the delivery room. I know how much my husband suffered when things got iffy in the delivery room and he could hear my screams. He was escorted out of the room. My baby'was deep blue colored from the cord wrapped around her neck and they couldn't get her to breathe. I didn't know hubby was there because I was pushing so hard to get her out quickly before she turned deeper blue and strangled. It was the most intense moment of my life and I know for sure it was his as well. They rushed my baby out of the room after they quickly cut the cord. He went with her and I "finished up" my part. *So each time I hear this song, it reminds me of the most awful and beautiful moment of my entire life. And I always, always cry at the beauty of the song and what my husband was going through.*

[@tessarix]

By the way, that was 1973 but I still feel that rush of both baby and husband arriving together that day! This Woman's Work" still resonates in me to this day.

[@TheAvrilfan191]

You got signed! I'm really happy for you!:) Can't wait to hear the new tracks xx

[@marypeyton2461]

She’s still my all time “favorite” that ever covered this song!!! I loved it!!!

[@dacsus]

Yea, she sang very hard song very well - in her 16 for god sake! If not as good as Kate Bush, but better as Maxvell imo - without autotune and other gimmicks.

[@diseyendiomu7382]

She killed it, Nough said.

[@KillerBill1953]

[@83prettyblack]

That gave me chills absolutely beautiful, never heard anyone sang that song so hard to do.

[@videoprojman3666]

The song was originally done by Kate Bush, not whoever they are referring to in the video.

[@supanova4126]

[@ReignsOfficial]

Hi to you in Malaysia, thank you so much for your wonderful support, I do have some good news I have just been signed and I am working on some new tracks so when they are finished would love to know what you think :) Hope x

[@PrincessDMSB]

it was beautiful, just beautiful

[@dedep.9001]

NO, she meant what she said, "This Woman's Work" by Maxwell because she sang it exactly how Maxwell sang it. Never mind that Kate Bush wrote it. What would she say, "This Woman's Work by Kate Bush but I'm going to sing it in the style that Maxwell sang it in his cover of the song"? No. Give her a break. She did GREAT!

[@razrv3lc]

Yeah actually. That’s what she should’ve said. "I’m singing This Woman's Work by Kate Bush in the style of Maxwell” is how it’s always said whenever someone covers a song in the style of another cover.

[@tattskink9589]

She probably doesn’t even know who Kate Bush is! 😡

[@julie223783]

True she wouldn't get anywhere singing it like Kate. It's a commercial show for commercial brainwashed people

[@chrisgreaves4838]

Stunning voice

[@mathieuedouard9916]

[@saysHotdogs]

Wait stop the car. A Woman's Work by WHO? That was still fucking amazing but damn no one said anything about Kate Bush

[@Mournes]

She said maxwell bc it was his version she covered

[@AmorrSummerstorm]

James Youngs max who?

[@DMD5609]

Mande Peer Kate's version (2 of them) is superior to Maxwell's. As you know Kate wrote it in 1989.Kate has very loyal fans .

[@mzcaribbeauty5283]

+Mande Peer God I love Maxwell . watching in 2015. lol

[@RaquelTheHell]

Right. Love Kate Bush!

[@angelchalmers3760]

Incredibly done, powerful song, she looks older than 16,her voice range and style so unique, I use to teach singing and recorded in the past and even I can't sing that Kate Bush song.

[@tesfaziondina5454]

[@992domiroma]

amazing voice!

[@Shawtymafia614]

I found myself with a smile at the end ! #wow (:

[@Fortheloveofcoils]

I don't know why people are tripping over her saying Maxwell. She sung Maxwells version of the song by Kate Bush. She sung it exactly how Maxwell sung it. Obviously some people do not know who he is and just cuz y'all don't, doesn't mean people need to trip over her saying by Maxwell. Maxwell sang the hell out of that song for a man so he is very famous for covering that song and its still one of my jams today. She listens to r&b music and so she knows it by Maxwell not by Kate Bush. They're so many songs covered by well known singers that no one even complains about, the BIGGEST EXAMPLE is Whitney Houston " I will alway Love you" which was ORIGINALLY Dolly Parton song but does anyone complain when Someone says "BY Whitney Houston?" No because she killed that song SO THEREFORE, Quiet tf down with all that bs. Not trying to sound mean but that pisses me off that people are saying these negative comments when they really need to look up who Maxwell is and listen to his version before they comment.

[@karmaamour3870]

ikr the stupidity todae

[@bastardfingers]

'They're so many songs…' Interesting grammar! The real point is that maxwell did a boring unimaginative version. In other words an r&b version, the most conformist unoriginal genre going. But then there it's for uneducated people and there are a lot of them. Big sales to big idiots.

[@Fortheloveofcoils]

Wow I don't normally argue with "idiots" online but your comment makes it an exception. You literally are an idiot for saying interesting grammar to my "They're so many songs" Obviously I was probably typing fast since the majority of the stuff i spelled in my comment was correct so that makes you an idiot to point out one "tiny" flaw in my comment but I guess for idiots i could understand the frustration.You see a colored person who is educated and spells decent and you try to find little things to make them look dumb or slow. Its sad that there is people in this world like yourself. Second of all, another reason you're an idiot is because you think that just because someone doesn't listen to the same music you do are "uneducated"? You really think that was an educated response? well my friend you're quite mistaken. But again since you're idiot and delusional, I guess I can excuse it. Let me tell you something, Big fancy words don't make you smart, how you use your intelligence does. If you use your intelligence to look down on others then you are in fact an idiot. Reason I say that is because you sound exactly like a person who thinks they're smarter than others because of skin color/etc, kinda racists. So hopefully you learned something from my long ass comment and I hope next time you stay in your place because you just got lectured by an "uneducated person". :) >sips tea and quietly waits for your mind to be blown< *****

[@Fortheloveofcoils]

And your youtube name clearly proves my point lol but I'll just sip my tea now.....:P

[@karmaamour3870]

***** so ur calling me an idiot cuz i listen to r&b not to be racist or anything but lots of the real music and real singers are made through r&b we are not idiot we are artistic and just because Maxwell in my opinion did a better job than whoseever doesnt mean u can go around calling people idiots because u might just be the idiot :D Have a bless day

[@reggiegimmix9128]

great version... perfect tone. impressive.

[@ReignsOfficial]

Thank you hopefully it won't be too long now will let you know :) Hope x

[@thaankmelater]
