This girl has a natural talent, it bothers me that she is little known, but at the same time I adore that fact because listening to her is like a luxury that only a few of us indulge in.

[@MangoNizer]

We're the ones to help her with getting well known brother. She definately deserves it. She leaves me breahtless and with smile on my face every time.

[@arkanoid2504]

thats not just natural talent, i gues there is a lot of work behind

[@davetrachtenberg6855]

Totally agree friend. She deserves real recognition and good things coming her way.

[@zebanon5]

I saw your comment and looked at her subs count. 25.5k seems like a lot, but it's a tiny-tiny fraction of a % of the world population. With 7.6B people on the planet, even a large number of people is a small number of people.

[@davetrachtenberg6855]

@@zebanon5 Hi Ian, appreciate your comment friend! Im realizing I was meaning some of the hit #'s for particular songs like this one, rather than the total subscription count.

[@lewarryldong]

In the end she's just like, 'yeap, fuck it I'll use this take.'

[@StaceyRyanMusic]

Precisely!!

[@nicksilva8185]

In the description she says to ignore the last chorus but damn... That part blew my mind. Actual Goosebumps

[@IrvSauce]

Thought she was gonna sing “in cursive” at first in that trendy hipster type of way. Then a few lines in she dropped some stanky, stanky soul in and here we are now I’m pregnant anyways this was excellent

[@elvisburns]

What does that mean? In cursive?

[@woddie3650]

[@cardbored_]

omg I HATE that singing style, this girl is legit

[@monsieurPessoa]

Wikipedia : "Killing Me Softly with His Song" is a song composed by Charles Fox with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart. In 1973 it became a number-one hit in the United States, Australia and Canada for Roberta Flack, also reaching number six in the UK Singles Chart. In 1996, Fugees recorded the song with Lauryn Hill on lead vocals, their version became a number-one hit in twenty countries. The version by Flack won the 1974 Grammy for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and the version by Fugees won the 1997 Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The song has been covered by many other artists.

[@SebBrosig]

Sure it's not a Fugees original but to be fair Stacey's version heavily borrows on their cover in terms of phrasing so maybe she can call it a Fugees cover.

[@barneymiller5488]

@@SebBrosig And the Fugees version takes a lot from Roberta's version.

[@lizzy7848]

Can we talk about her and why she's so underrated? She deserves more :')

[@urganodevotaton]

The Fugees version itself is a cover. The song was most famously covered by Roberta Flack in 1973, and as I've just learned in a web search the original is by Lori Lieberman.

[@TheFastballs]

I love the classic musician “stank face” she makes when she’s absolutely slaying a run. Such a genuine performance, I love it.

[@ftroconis90]

THAT is one amazing thing! Like old salsa or jazz singers!

[@evanpanzer1734]

Those runs in the last chorus are INSANE!!

[@skylarfeick419]

me replaying the riff she sang at 0:58 - 1:01 24 times. Heavenly

[@olliezanzonico170]

Wow. I mean honestly, this person really has something special. I can't stop barrelling through their videos. And that stank face, my god! So happy to have randomly discovered them

[@59markr]

You and me both, that’s for certain.

[@iamtherealiamcam]

Listening from 4:00 onward was a literal religious experience. I've played guitar and sang for years and that blew my mind.

[@kaersten3623]

Yes, I agree. And that left eye of hers closing shut, ushers in the transformation.

[@drdrew97]

This is totally SICK, I mean, how does someone just even come up with vocals like those in the last chorus? this is pure genius and you should be no less than a billion streams-worth musician. I am fu***n TRIGGERED ppl EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN

[@rikk319]

How does she come up with it? Listening to a LOT of the masters of this style of music.

[@emanuelenegrini4300]

In the last minute it's all damn beautiful: the vocalisms, the faces you made singing, the kindness passing through that wrong chord... I would listen to you for hour..

[@noahwirz1152]

Haven’t been able to cry or really let my emotions go for the past 6 months but this....left me speechless and I had tears rolling down my face from the first minute onwards. felt so good to be touched by a voice as beautiful as yours❤️thank you stacey

[@marioknox4302]

Can't wait for her to BLOW UP. This kinda talent is soooooo refreshing.

[@RosieDuck]

tbh the last chorus was my fave part!!! such energy! such improv!! it had the "live set encore" messing around vibes, loved it

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

2024….loved it….Stacey is great ….listening to her entire playlist….smooth perfection ♥️🌹🌹🌹

[@henrikolsen5]

Why can I only like this once? :) Wishing to give it another like every time I hear it. Go Stacey!

[@greyjay9202]

Her voice is just wonderful. Such control and range. Delicate, yet strong. Ms. Ryan has a real talent for jazz singing. We'll be watching and listening, to see what she does.

[@Moondog2A]

It's not really the Fugees cover unless you're also saying "One-time, one time....two-time, two-time". Seeing a beautiful singer who is also a poly-instrumentalist is always inspiring.

[@skyredding6163]

This gave me chills. you have a beautiful voice, thank you for sharing it

I'm in love with this woman and her absolutely magnificent singing voice 😘

[@doroy52]

After listening to several of her videos I also wonder why she hasn’t made it on a bigger stage. Her arrangements are sick and shows she has studied jazz but can inject a bit of soul. Plus a voice that is clear and pleasing to hear all the day. She should pair up with John Mayer or do one of his songs.

[@juhajuppi1920]
