The Lord of the Rings is an unbelievably important part of my life. I have tattoos, rare statues in my home, the works 😅. When one of my patron's requested I cover this piece, I knew that it would be a challenge to create something I was truly proud of to complement the original and my contralto sister, Annie Lennox.
So, many months later, I hope you enjoy✨

[@TheCreepypro]

wow! didn't think anybody could surpass annie but hey she did it and with flying colors! also she looks gorgeous while doing it! so impressive!

[@paladinminipedro707]

Would love to hear LEAH and this woman do a song together!! Kristin sounds like she may have vocal power for days.

[@Norpal]

Fun fact: The Return of the King is now as old a movie as Return of the Jedi was when Return of the King premiered.

[@jeffk1482]

Which of course reminds me I was 21 when I saw ROTJ in theaters, and it makes me sad.

[@TheTarv]

Gonna just casually listen to this 100 more times.

[@Kekoapono]

This is lovely. I'm sure you would sound just as lovely singing "May it Be." I really hope you cover that song someday.

[@joshmunn3444]

I NEED a Kristin/Tommy Johannsson collab. Meat loafs it's all coming back to me now would be perfect

[@KristinStarkey]

@joshmunn3444 we did A Fairytale of New York on his channel 😊

[@ikmor]

Almost had me crying near the end. Almost, on the public bus to work!

[@songedeteenmusique8734]

Beautiful ..!!!

[@therein3056]

OMG! This is the best thing I've ever heard. Hi from Russia!))

[@Artaxo]

Another video so soon? I see you're spoiling us now, Dr.!

[@DiesMali]

There aren't many songs that make the hair on my arms stand up and then make me get misty-eyed, but this did it. I wasn't ready for this first thing in the morning. Beautiful. ToT

[@AZ11234]

Another amazing performance….Thank you!

[@manfrombritain6816]

Annie Lennox has huge shoes to fill but you did it justice. can't really give higher praise than that!

[@Theodax1]

As much as I LOVE Annie Lennox, and have for most of my life, THIS version simply SOARS above hers. It's so lovely to hear you sing with such soft subtle precision and strength to deliver a truly magical performance. Nothing strained, forced, or overpowering, just simply gorgeous vocals and a beautiful setting.

[@Kerry_kit_slayer]

Beautiful cover

[@ekmanadventure]

You sing so good that buildings almost disappear🎉

[@thenuad]

Beautifully, masterfully done. As always. Thank you!

[@edgarfriendly7571]

Love the ears - nice touch😊

[@Beeblebrox42]

She has Annie Lennox's power, would love to see her take on "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)."

[@DaveHPT]

Amazing.

[@zarahmb1711]

This is soo beautiful!!!!

[@markengelhardt9191]

Gorgeous!

[@Randall_Kildare]

Would have liked your rich, luxurious voice a bit more wet & further back from the mic. You're so forward & sharp in the mix. The atmosphere in the original is one of the great aspects of that recording. It resonates as though Lennox had sung it from an ancient Elven amphitheater. Wonderful, wonderful performance. Hated to be critical, but you're immensely talented, & it's only been done with reverence & gratitude. & I *loved* the Elf ears!

[@marinamucic908]

Incredible! You gave me chills with this performance, so emotional and gentle, yet powerful

[@jeffk1482]

VERY true to the original, yes? She didn’t metalify it, nor did she go operatic. It’s still unique, very much hers here…but still beautifully captures Annie’s from the film.

[@mita_c]

💙💙💙💙💙

[@tarmotyyri6733]

🇫🇮❤Kristin gorgeous vocals & looks.

[@victorruiz2309]

Perfect ❤

[@TJTheEmperor]

I saw all three LOTR films in theaters, so this song has always been important to me. Incredible job as always

[@Black_Lellan]

The algorithm did me a favor for once. Gorgeous rendition!

[@chrilk]

Nice song and great performance! ☺

[@guerreroluz400]

KZbin should have the I Love It reaction! Beautiful piece!!! 🤘🤩

[@drmanowar899]

It's here!

[@BehThulhu]

finally got to sit down and listen to this. Freaking amazing!!

[@tomasekholm361]

Absolutley beatutiful!!! 🤩

[@krilektahn8861]

Ballsy, taking on such an iconic cover. Good job making it your own. Annie is one of those generational voices where you can tell it's her after a few seconds. You did a great job preserving the demeanor of the song without attempting to *be* Annie. 👍

[@jarikoskenniska299]

Thank lord the music is better than the movies!

[@xlythen]

Classy. Beautiful. Wonderful performance, love it.

[@chorissojabugo]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@PasqualeBianculli]

BRAVO! Kristin.

[@ClaraBeack]

giiiiiiiiiiiirl I wanted to do this cover too 😅 but I am so behind on my channel... I think it suits your voice perfectly! Also this song brings back so many memories 🥲❤‍🩹 See you soon Kristin!!! 😘

[@CrescentMond]

I found you through Temperance, but you've got a new lifelong fan now. I LOVE just how precise yet emotional you can sing. I'd love to also hear "the last goodbye" sung by you, that'd give me even more chills!!

[@james12921]

Phenomenal! Always knew you could do this one masterfully

[@joschi38100]

Never heard of the original, but I love this. Thank you, Goddess of power voice - even for the soft and quiet moments! 😻

[@thebeatts]

It's from the Lord of the Rings films. Good movies if you haven't seen them. The soundtrack is great.

[@Allie_in_Chains]

Incredible rendition as expected, and I ADORE the video and costuming -- amazing work and love to see you busting out the guitar again too

[@marcioirlon6676]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@maffumac]

A beautiful cover of one of my all time favourite songs. Thank you.

[@LiaNightingale]

I love it ❤

[@shredkettle]

What a beautiful vocal performance 😍😍. This somehow feels like a side of you I've never seen before and it's glorious 👏👏

[@nylonsteel]

Great !

[@Kylora2112]

♥

[@thebeatts]

This was very nice! Not gonna lie, as soon as I saw this song name and your name together I was hoping for a metal cover. Would that be any good? I have no idea, but I want to hear it. 😂

[@TheBonk314]

simply beautiful, beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful Kristin, beautiful ears

[@stellar_knightsband]

Amazing ❤

[@RebelScum312]

Gorgeous, the song, the singer & the setting, & you have a very sweet touch on the steel string! Thank you for the lovely upload, made my Sunday morning! 💛🌅💙🌄💚🧝‍♀💜🎶💗🔥💗🙏😊

[@mussstbedreaming]

Wow! It's impossible to compete with THE Annie Lennox, but you did an amazing job, I was hipnotized.

[@danielgt1392]

I love my mother and my sister. I don't want to leave them behind, although death and resurection would be a wise step for me now! Wonderful song, brought me to tears. If just the whole earth could go at once, i would be glad and happy! 🙏

[@joetheno87]

Didn't even realize this was you at first. Your range on different types of songs is amazing!

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

Beautiful cover! Your voice is incredible!🤘🤘🤘

[@guihena.2]

♫ ♥♪ ♥♫ ♥♪

[@DarkHaunter62]

Fantastic! ❤

[@ArnoVlmt]

Love this! Beautifully done Kristin!

[@eamonahern7495]

Wow! Even if I wasn't subscribed I would have clicked if I saw that beautiful face in my feed and would have been enchanted by that heavenly voice. I like how you almost slipped into the operatic register in the middle of the song and was actually hoping you would. Loved that performance. 👏

[@SideBurn12]

Bloody hell, woman 🥲

[@Zii_Vii]

JESUS, Kristin. I'm surprised you didn't tip over and fall into the lake LOL. You sang beautifully as always of course xD

[@zsoltadorjanadorjan8876]

Kristin megint "csak" a szokásos elementáris őserő énekét hozza!

[@jeffk1482]

🥹 And that’s all I have to say about that…

[@juniormendoza657]

Nothing more attractive than a talented woman who is absolutely stunning

[@Miles-To-Go]

It's the ears, isn't it?

[@ManuelBalsera-on5tz]

[@andrewschull6039]

Annie who?

[@jonkipling2605]

Well done. Wish you would have used a lower register for more of it. This seems too easy for you.
