Rhiannon Giddens - La Vie en Rose

[@thaynetuason]

This is like a bird who sits in the trees near me saying things I cannot understand the words to, but only the emotions and beauty of.

[@gypzs9]

If music is meant to touch emotion, certainly this performance does. What beauty.

[@joeharris1717]

Her versatility is remarkable, and to each genre, instrument or setting, she brings artistry and something ... what? Sensitivity? Presence? Whatever it is, she has it, and she brings us with her.

[@NoetherPoint]

A certain ‘je ne sais quoi’. No?

[@gyrocompa]

I am French and in all subjectivity, I consider this to be the best version just behind the original one by Édith. Your voice is a genuine treasure, I love how you sing everything sooo naturally, without any cheap artificial effects ! By the way, your French pronunciation is impressively good !

[@portcullis5622]

Beautiful. The world needs more artists and people like Rhiannon Giddens.

[@blackrocktile5855]

she has incredible talent and doesn't play into show business nonsense .....

[@tlotus3032]

A rendition one waits a lifetime to hear.

[@derekschilling1338]

Beautiful

[@ivogarza9339]

Your out of luck; there is but one Rhiannon Giddens.

[@melgloberman3292]

Yes, yes, yes, yes to your statement!

[@cyan1616]

She sounds almost exactly like my late mother when she used to sing this. I almost want to cry... but I'm half French so extreme beauty can make me weep anyways. 😢

[@DeeDauphineeWriter]

I listen to this once or twice a month, and make my kids listen. When we do, we know there is still beauty--and hope--in the world.

[@SuperLaurielove]

so very sweet..a great love song and sung brilliantly by Giddens. I haven't thought about sharing songs with my grand-son (7) that I love on You.Tube But you've given me the idea, Dee !

[@zyxwut321]

Simple, honest, gorgeous, timeless, breathtaking, achingly beautiful.

[@joeharris1717]

The soaring flights of the birds is the perfect visual accompaniment to the beautiful soulful music. A work of art.

[@garyparrish5131]

I don't speak French but let me tell you that this speaks to my very soul.

[@yjk5737]

Rhiannon is such a treasure for North Carolina, the South, America, and the world. Love seeing where she's going nowadays and then still being able to go back and watch the early CCD videos. She's a great musical artist and performer, but she's like a history teacher too and someone who really digs into the roots of roots music and the cultural influences that came together in America. She's the kind of person you would love to have a conversation with about the past and its role in the present and the issues that we face. Hope she runs for president one day!

[@jerryshea417]

TBA..Absolutely correct,a true Artist and as u said,appears 2 want 2 Trace the DNA of sum of these Songs..She now lives in Ireland and the Irish really appreciate anyone who is willing 2get up and sing a song,recite sum Poetry,tell a Joke,whatever..So when sumone like her comes along and understands the essance of her Art,they proberly love her..My parents/family are frm County Kerry🍀🍀..A beautiful place...

[@howardlenow]

I think she is the talent of a generation.

[@michelberube8557]

Il est toujours audacieux d'interpréter un chanson aussi connue dans une langue étrangère, mais avec une voix riche comme celle de Rhiannon le résultat est impressionnant, même plutôt touchant. Je suis d'ailleurs très heureux d'avoir découvert cette voix exceptionnelle en 2015.

[@xav1952]

Je ne la découvre, par hasard, qu'en mars 2020 et quelle découverte !

[@christinamorales6887]

Bon Jour

[@christineandreas724]

was in paris during recent attack........ this is part of the antidote.....beauty, finding what you love .....leaves very little room for terror, hate......

[@-JeffreyDahmer-]

One of the best artist to ever exist in this realm . Truly incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your music to the world . WE A R E TRULY BLESSED!!!

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Having grown up listening to Edith Piaf and other powerful women, I am moved deeply by this performance and by the sentiment above regarding how knowledge, art and love can make a difference against hatred and inhumanity. This song brings peace. Thank you, Rhiannon.

[@unclefester9113]

I think this is the first song I've ever listened to that put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes and left me speechless...... I've never heard such a voice or such a range.

[@lovethatagave]

You aint alone...

[@nocomment5398]

I'm french and I think this is by far the best cover of that masterpiece

[@carolannmckevitt]

has this woman been sent by god xxx

[@googgnik]

mais bien sur

[@richardmcguinness9073]

Carol Mckevitt ....... I believe so.

[@colinkelley6493]

I believe she has been anointed by God for this hour in history. Beautiful. Absolutely perfect. May be the best thing she has done, and that is saying a lot.

[@ThePapasmurf1946]

I believe she has a mission. It's like watching a flower bud unfold and realize its glory.

[@Rebecc765]

Yes!

[@musonymous]

One the most perfect songs beautifully sung. Exquisite.

[@amieldan2814]

Ça, c'est interprétation de ce classique la plus SUPERBE que j'ai jamais entendu,. Par une chanteuse AMÉRICAINE, et métisse, de surcroit! ABSOLUMENT FABULEUSE !

[@pas.wright116]

And this, is why I have a crush on this young lady! Brava Maestra!

[@AlessandraCominiakaMeganCrespi]

Just discovered RG; am equally impressed by her voice and her message.

[@muralbutton80andfreinds35]

Crazy, two months ago I was totally ignorant of your existence. I have no idea if it was serendipity or if it was utter lack of attention but now I routinely use your voice to lift my spirits on a regular basis. With the sheer volume of your creative input I will always have fresh mood elevating music. Never stop what you are doing.

[@keeoldman1]

she is definitely is a gift to mankind her music is great

[@singularman7589]

Oh my I am in Love! I do not understand the words, but this speaks volumes to me! I know I am a 55 year old man, but this is dreamy. I am in Love,!

[@juliannearlene7244]

Rhiannon is a miracle of nature - and talent and hard work. Love her!

[@camilleharris9832]

Thank you, Rhiannon, for this gift. Keep doing it with you art, love, knowledge, empathy, and understanding. You are making a difference.

[@joetillman3806]

I am amazed and crazy in love with this women's music. I don't go out (certainly don't date) but I know to bathe and go into town and see this musician live would be a treat. That's what I'm talking about---a genuine treat! Rhianna reminds me of the rooted traditions of my country These traditions are who we are. To abandon them is the most disgusting thing we can REMEMBER WHO WE ARE: THIS IS OUR COUNTRY. Our forefathers gave away more: Than what this present day misdone cake of hypocrisy came here for.

[@myriamlopez6656]

Parents from France. Grew up listening to Piaf. This is perhaps the best redo of this song I've ever heard. Binged watched Rhiannon vids all day and this woman is truly a musical genius.

[@soundking4]

I'm crying. What can't this angel do?

[@rennyshelton]

I've always liked that song and I absolutely love what you do with it.

[@EchosLens]

Merci, merci Rhiannon Giddens, for this! Your background of singing opera shines through on this one in particular. I love your music; your style and sound touch my soul.

[@tobin5378]

This song is the reason I took French at GCSE and the reason why i want to learn it again

[@jimjandrowitz6293]

I could listen to her sing this each and every day.

[@dorinaholden9961]

It's my 97 years old mom's favorite song and Rhiannon it was done with class and with such beautiful voice.

[@ambadad]

Exquisite. Rhiannon brings passion and soul to any song, but her reading of this classic is just at another level.

[@Elliemac100]

Love this woman singing, and also love this song. Pure pleasure!!

[@Mo-MuttMusic]

Oh, my! I was touched hearing this. A lovely rendition of a standard. I love the Louis Armstrong and Edith Piaf versions. I like how this one took "La Vie en Rose" in spare, delicate direction. Well-done. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular

[@waynesmith6894]

This is the firs time I've ever left a comment on KZbin but after seeing this, I'm absolutely inspired. This is the only version of La Vie En Rose that could impossibly compare favorably with the iconic Edith Piaf. Rhainnon Giddons is a gift.

[@christinekenning5612]

A beautiful performance accompanied with a simple yet profound statement,the world needs a lot more of this type of communication. Peter Kenning London U.K.

[@tobin5378]

Did you see her on jools Holland?

[@shorelineboy]

I saw her on jools Hootananny . First time ever brilliant 😀

[@jerryshea417]

christine kenning..I really dont think we've heard a better all round singer...Bluegrass,folk,Tradition Irish(in Gaelic,tough language 2 learn,i know my parents were Irish🍀🍀)Country,Jazz,it goes on and i could go on...Unbelievable Talented Lady and unpretentious wth it..And the Carolina Chocolate drops were great aswell..Real roots music unlike most of the crap we hear..

shorelineboy me too so very happy i did ★★★

I don't know how I discovered her, and i don't know why it had taken this long, but thank god

[@patrickfort4467]

I just melt when I listen to this.

[@cacciato69]

i remember hearing Edith Piaf on an old juke box . I was 9 , Long Beach CA 1950. The song sprang out of memory 5 years ago! and now my favorite singer performing ... magnificent ...

Didn't know a word you just sang to us but the emotion says a lot. thanks for sharing.

[@larryc3860]

it is so wrong for many to consider you ONLY a "traditional" or "folk" artist.......this arrangement of Edith Piaf's classic standard is beautiful and true to the spirit of the song....Thank You!

This is leaving me in tears. So beautiful.
