Difficult song to sing, being so intense and emotive, but in falsetto ...wow and flawless! Had the opportunity to see Maxwell do this live early in his career, amazing performing artist! Thanks Kate Bush for sharing this beautiful song, wonderfully interpreted by another brilliant professional!
@@TuneRealpolitik I remember watching this show and his range was incredible. He went from a falsetto to a tenor, then baritone on the next two songs. One of the best performances I had ever seen. If they have the full concert on here check it out. You will look on with incredulity like I was. MTV need to bring back this television show. Ten times better than the crap they have on now.
I lost my wife in 2015.We were married 28 years and together 35 years and to this day I still miss her and love her .Every time I hear this song I think about her funeral and what would have been a good goodbye song to play and this was one of our favorite songs; but being in grief and trying to show strength for our daughter I to this day don’t think I have properly said my farewell. I’ve moved on but not let go the right way. But over these last 7 years I’ve learned to put most things in Gods hand and let him handle it for me. To all those who have lost someone you love dearly my God bless you and all of your loved ones. Till we meet again in Heaven, Love you brown eyes.
So sorry for your lose. When I was in Highschool in 1991. I lost my girlfriend to a car accident. This song and Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush "Don't Give Up" got me through some depressed times
I occasionally come to this video because of how immaculate it is. I don't think the people in the audience knew how privileged they were to witness this. This performance was simply magical and timeless.
@@warrenbridges1891 - I like his other version better, but had he not sung this version, he sounds so good, I would question whether this was live or lip synch. Definitely one of the best voices during his prime.
@@jasonito23 Sometimes, you've just got to decide whether the song itself has to take priority over showboating. That's why Kate Bush's 1988 original was so austere. She didn't want the meaning of the song compromised. She can be "out there" when she chooses. It just depends on whether the song demands it.
1st thing I thought of when I seen this video was the scene from the movie Love n Basketball 🏀 THAT movie and those movies from that time , the soundtracks were soooo AMAZING!! The 90's-00's hip hop n R&B music was/is the best and will NEVER even be touched!!! If u were from the Tri-State area , u were at Hot 97s Summer Jam everyyyy damn summer!! I kno my Jersey ass was!!! Those were the days!! I'd give sooooo much to go back to that time , even if it were for a day!!!
@@ToNiBoLoNiE420 Even if the song was written by a female British alternative rock artist who originated from the 1970s. Hip hop is rubbish and Maxwell's R&B sleaze 'n' cheese isn't much better.
I saw Maxwell live back in '96. He asked the audience if we wanted to hear a lil' sumpin' simpin' from his new album. Of course the crowd went bananas and he sang this very song with even more passion and clarity than he did in this video. We were AMAZED! There were four of us. My buddy and his girl, my date and me (I consider myself to be a pretty tough guy): all four of us were in tears by the end of his performance with jaws on the floor. Maxwell is the bomb!
@@willphillips5551I done like a chicken in the oven, your right song came out on the date of 2001 on his NOW album!!!!!!!! People need to get off RUclips!!! SMH
Maxwell did to Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" what Whitney Houston did to Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You". The originals were awesome but you have to admit that the covers brought the songs fame among a much greater audience.
@Reginald Purifoy Are you crazy maxwell killed this song and it wasnt OP it was beautifully done, also Whitney did I will always love you the best. oh did i mention I'm white lol
@Reginald Purifoy while i do prefer dolly's and i will always love you, maxwell's this woman's work is even better than kate bush's phenomenal original
The fact that this sounds just like the actual song on the album is insane to me 👏 from the back ups to the instruments to everything else. He’s amazing 🥲
This is the version that was on one of the albums. I remember the clapping at the end. The other album version is actually worse than this version in my opinion
Yep this is actually the version often times used/played. The difference between the two is the bridge he goes into singing or actually talking “ohh I should be crying but I just can’t let it go”
this is one of the greatest live performances in music history. PERIOD! awesome kate bush wrote this. but he simply knocked this out of the park. his album version of this is not great. neither is hers. but this live version can give you chills.
Brünnhilde Schadenfreude Nobody said this was the original or that Kate's version isn't good. Simply saying Maxwell owned it. No need to be so hostile.
In my opinion, this is the best live version of any song I've ever seen. This is better than his actual recording. I've never heard such a close imitation of a recording like this one! This is absolutely amazing. God bless his voice!
Maxwell does not get the overwhelming recognition he 100% has earned and deserves. I am 45yo and was first obsessed with his voice over 25yrs ago when my first beautiful girl was growing inside me
@brendajohnson5975 I used to think differently, but I guess it explains why Maxwell's net worth is 15 million dollars, whereas Kate's net worth is 70 million.
OMG!....This is DEFINITELY what you call "GOD GIVEN" NO auto tune, computerized, lipsyncing, just Pure, Raw and Real. I had the pleasure of seeing this man in concert twice and let me tell you, HE brings it, he sold out and HE earned ALL his dollars! AWESOME 😍😘😘😘
@johnmayoral3511 Glad you said "RnB singer", because this beautiful Kate Bush song isn't supposed to have all the cheesy, sleazy, insincere R&B showboating.
i must agree. i forgot about this song. And how the hell could the world let that happen. This should be front runner on anyones list of...well, just greatest tracks.
Not many voices make me close my eyes to listen. It has been one of my favorite Maxwell ballots since it came out over 20yrs ago. This was absolutely perfect.
@LadyYaYa1 They have to, because Maxwell won't. Even though he's supposed to be a musician. Kate Bush has been recorded on piano, guitar, bass, strings and pioneered the Fairlight CMI. She wasn't scared of playing instruments on stage.
This is insane… it literally sounds like the actual song. I would not know that this was live if somebody played this. This man voice is crazy. My eyes started watering lol
I agree with Mini Thin. . . This live performance is flawless. . . He is so in it and on point, but everyone. . . the musicians, the background vocalist. . . this gives me chills
Okay ima say it . HE DESERVED A STANDING OVATION!!! every note he sung was perfect! Every emotion and facial expression was so tender and perfect . Did I mention how gorgeous this man is and TALENTED IN ALLLLLL THHEEEE WAAAYSSSSS . Wow he left me speechless. 😶
@clothedinFaith-ee4ii Would have preferred the original Kate Bush melody instead of the improvisation. Plus, her original lyrics. It was a beautiful melody as it was. I don't understand why others would want to change it.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg lol honestly you sound like a hater if you prefer that so much then go and listen to it lol he did his own rendition of the song and believe me when I tell you A LOT of people adore it 🥰
@@Me-im-Italian Yeah. That's what we tell Maxwell fans on Kate Bush videos. Except, the only reason they give, is that they prefer his cheesy, sleazy, insincere, R&B showboating.
@WarrenBridges-um5cg You're delusional if you think Kate Bush sings better than Maxwell. Just because she's the original creator of the song doesn't mean that she sings it better. See this is why people make racial comments because it's mostly likely bitter white people in here saying Maxwell's version isn't good and if you ask most people which version has a higher degree of difficulty and sounds better than would say Maxwell except Kate Bush stans. They act like Maxwell is a nobody because they don't really know who he is as if millions of other people don't know who he is. He made This Woman's Work much more famous from the Love and Basketball soundtrack. I just heard Kate's version for the first time yesterday and I didn't know she was the original creator and I like both versions of the song but I think Maxwell's version sounds much better.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg He's just singing the song and better than Kate Bush get over it. Lol. Do you even know anything about Maxwell? I just found out yesterday that his father died when he was 3 from a plane crash and when I think about that I can see him resonating with Kate's song because he probably had his own mother in mind and the struggle she had to go through raising him without his dad. That's why perception is important when another artist covers a song they could be referencing something in their life the original writer may not have personally experienced. I'm trying not to bring race into it but it's like it's only YT people who must be borderline deaf to think Maxwell's version is bad by any standard as if you could sing it better than him and his singing is fantastic and better than Kate Bush's. 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Still brings me to tears so many years later...This man has one of the best voices on the planet. And he is an amazing soul...wow...bawling just listening to this craft...the art....wow
Beautiful angelic voice. You made me cry. I've lost 6 people in my family over 7 years and just lost my son of 26 years old. Couldn't cry and locked all my feelings in the back of my mind. Heard you sing this song and it all came out in a river of tears.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️All the best to you, I hope you recover from those losses in due time with the healing needed for it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
OMG flawless, his voice is angelic. This is a performance thats so very special, magical. He's falsetto voice is unreal. Maxwell captures all the pain and emotion of Kate Bush's masterpiece and channels it through the most tender performance.
This song always makes me cry because 1 year ago I lost my mom & then 1 year later. I was in a coma I just thank MAXWELL for recording this song Because it gave me strength & made me a stronger woman that I am Thanku Lord for creating MAXWELL. Now 1 year ago today. I'm recovering better because of the Lord & MAXWELLS songs I'm glad I'm alive Thank. I've been a big FAN OF THE ONE & ONLY MAXWELL TO ME HE IS A ICON JUST LIKE PRINCE. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Clarrisse Graham- May God Comfort You Heart! I think about my Queen 👑 Mother too when I hear this song!! I hope as she's Resting In Heaven she knows we All Love & Miss Her! Praying 🙏🏾 for You Wholeheartedly Clarrisse!! ♥️🙏🏾💔
@@yungeenty8929 So what? I see an inferior version performed by an inferior artist of an inferior culture. I refuse to pretend that it's on the same level as Kate Bush no matter what you call me.
who on earth is this talented singer. What a voice!! I never thought anybody could nail this more that Kate. And such a talented band of musicians too. Just brilliant.
How can you not be familiar with Maxwell!!! He is like sentimental to this song as its one of his recognizable works, even though it's a cover but he did it outstandingly and knocked it out of the park. He did with this song like what Whitney Houston did with Dolly Parton's I'll Always Love You.
@@Demspeaks44 Kate Bush wrote, recorded and produced it in 1988 when Maxwell was 15 years old. By the time Kate was 15, she'd already written most of her first two albums. Child songwriting genius. One of Britain's finest.
LOL! Sammy Sam you're right about him making hand puppets. I was going to say I love the gestures he makes with his hands while singing. I also love how he cranes his head from side to side like he's drowsy. How many times has he sung his way out of trouble & she forgot why she was mad at him? Also I love the scar on his forehead,when I meet him I'm going to ask him what had happened?
Definitely yes.....such a beautiful expression of Masculine energy in the form of this extraordinary mortal man. I've thoughtfully enjoyed the experience. ~Shalom~ 🐏🐑🐏🌳🕎🌳🐏🐑🐏
Girl he caressed it gently and stared in its eyes while doing it. He rubbed its head slowly and whispered in its ear. He took his time from head to toe. He connected every emotion he had to this song. Passion. Rage. Fear. Peace. He wasn’t in a rush. He wasn’t trying to please himself only. When he was finished he held it tight until it fell asleep. The way he sung this song was purely orgasmic.
In my opinion this is one of the best cover versions ever recorded. Obviously the Kate Bush original is incredible BUT the combination of the "male perspective" on the emotions of the song, Maxwells incredible vocals....its quite simply one of the MOST emotional, beautiful vocal performances EVER! You can feel the pain!
@Nannytay2 Someone forgot to tell all the Hollywood and Netflix producers still using Kate's original. She's made half of Maxwell's total net worth for recent royalties alone. Maxwell is working for peanuts. He might be able to spare some for the cake.
I don't understand all the competition created by people between Kate Bush and Maxwell. Surely we should be thanking both, Kate Bush for writing and producing this beautiful song, as well as for her own glorious original and Maxwell for this mesmerising cover.
bastardfingers Kate Bush is a British singer. I grew up with her music, but many Black Americans don't fuck with her genre or country (musically speaking, so they know this to Maxwell's song.
The hand motions the emotion he gives in this is hands down what makes this piece MASTERFUL and in my opinion one of the best live songs ever done the background singers killed it. MURDERED THIS SONG.
I was born after this song was written. Maxwell got me crying for my past life, my current and future. Got me crying over kids I don't have. Crying over the air conditioner being on. Music like this just touches my soul.
@@zucchinigreen nope whole generation has grow up thinking this was his song. He has only mentioned kate after he secured a hit. Plus kates version is so much better
@@garysanders8350 For as long as Maxwell has been singing this song I've known it was a cover. He hasn't been trying to get credit as the original writer.
I will always love Kates version the most, its one of the truly great songs and performances, but damn, Maxwell absolutely sings this outta the park, his voice is sublime!!
I don't think Maxwell will ever understand how he truely out did hisself with this record. Damn I love this song, and there is NO ONE ELSE that could ever sing this song with the voice, class, and charisma as he has. Hands down one for the best male singers of our generation.
@@jbeag807 Hisself is actually AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and most people who speak that particular dialect can also speak standard English.
@@nkirulewis4415 According to African American scholar Thomas Sowell, much of the terminology originated in Britain anyway. In the outer regions which were last to become educated. It has long since died out in Britain. Just as the archaic Mexican Spanish and American German had died out many years earlier in their respective countries of origin.

I agree with Mini Thin. . . This live performance is flawless. . . He is so in it and on point, but everyone. . . the musicians, the background vocalist. . . this gives me chills
Yes sir
Same
Agreed. I was the perfect collaboration of everyone involved
Okay ima say it . HE DESERVED A STANDING OVATION!!! every note he sung was perfect! Every emotion and facial expression was so tender and perfect . Did I mention how gorgeous this man is and TALENTED IN ALLLLLL THHEEEE WAAAYSSSSS . Wow he left me speechless. 😶
@clothedinFaith-ee4ii Would have preferred the original Kate Bush melody instead of the improvisation. Plus, her original lyrics. It was a beautiful melody as it was. I don't understand why others would want to change it.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg lol honestly you sound like a hater if you prefer that so much then go and listen to it lol he did his own rendition of the song and believe me when I tell you A LOT of people adore it 🥰
@@Me-im-Italian Yeah. That's what we tell Maxwell fans on Kate Bush videos. Except, the only reason they give, is that they prefer his cheesy, sleazy, insincere, R&B showboating.
@WarrenBridges-um5cg You're delusional if you think Kate Bush sings better than Maxwell. Just because she's the original creator of the song doesn't mean that she sings it better. See this is why people make racial comments because it's mostly likely bitter white people in here saying Maxwell's version isn't good and if you ask most people which version has a higher degree of difficulty and sounds better than would say Maxwell except Kate Bush stans. They act like Maxwell is a nobody because they don't really know who he is as if millions of other people don't know who he is. He made This Woman's Work much more famous from the Love and Basketball soundtrack. I just heard Kate's version for the first time yesterday and I didn't know she was the original creator and I like both versions of the song but I think Maxwell's version sounds much better.
@@WarrenBridges-um5cg He's just singing the song and better than Kate Bush get over it. Lol. Do you even know anything about Maxwell? I just found out yesterday that his father died when he was 3 from a plane crash and when I think about that I can see him resonating with Kate's song because he probably had his own mother in mind and the struggle she had to go through raising him without his dad. That's why perception is important when another artist covers a song they could be referencing something in their life the original writer may not have personally experienced. I'm trying not to bring race into it but it's like it's only YT people who must be borderline deaf to think Maxwell's version is bad by any standard as if you could sing it better than him and his singing is fantastic and better than Kate Bush's. 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Man his background singers were terrific!
2023 and still my favorite song ever. Perfection! Voice of an Angel. Definitely on my bucket list to watch him sing this live just once! 🙏🏻❤️

Still brings me to tears so many years later...This man has one of the best voices on the planet. And he is an amazing soul...wow...bawling just listening to this craft...the art....wow
Thats one of the greatest unplugged live song ive ever heard.
Beautiful angelic voice. You made me cry. I've lost 6 people in my family over 7 years and just lost my son of 26 years old. Couldn't cry and locked all my feelings in the back of my mind. Heard you sing this song and it all came out in a river of tears.
i'm so sorry for your losses and i wish you nothing but love, healing and light x
My condolences dear.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️All the best to you, I hope you recover from those losses in due time with the healing needed for it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This was the help you needed to release. Praying for you.
I hope you’re still healing ❤️🩹
OMG flawless, his voice is angelic. This is a performance thats so very special, magical.
He's falsetto voice is unreal. Maxwell captures all the pain and emotion of Kate Bush's
masterpiece and channels it through the most tender performance.
+Stephen Hardy your right there !!
+Stephen Hardy yea i think he has work a lot his falsetto
🙌🏼❤️
I absolutely agree with you!
Yes, he has natural talent but this takes lots of work and practice.
Lost my girlfriend in 1998, she was 26. This song always reminds me of her.
Omg just one year before I was born 😢
@@fauzianalwoga You're one year younger than Kate's son Bertie (Albert McIntosh). His dad was Kate's guitarist.

I lost mine lastweek 14 July. This song was her favorite. I'm here just so I can remember her. I miss her so much
Sorry for both of your losses... Revelation 21:3,4
It's the greatest live vocal you will ever hear. Every bit is perfection.
🖒
the guy who did it on the voice is wayyyyy better
Why you do so many drugs bro?
Scott Michael he crushes my soul with this it is the best thing I've heard!
Scott Michael absolutely the greatest live vocal anyone will ever hear. Correct!
Truly remarkable when the live version is superior than the studio version. How many artists can accomplish this today without pro tools?
The voice of an angel, nothing more to be said.
***** Everyone knows angels are Korean...
Agreed,it don't get much better than this for me.............. Have you seen beautitful a tribute to Al green ?
your a angel sexy photo liefssmarije lol sorry was that a bit much ?
Amen!! to that!
Liefssmarije ... your beautiful .. this is my song to you .. stay beautiful and sweet
What a beautiful version of an absolute beautiful song ❤❤
Only Maxwell can make the live version sound BETTER than the recorded.
Nobody beats Kate Bush .
@@roberto4001000 he does
@@madisonchristine in your head .
Maxwell would highly disagree with this. Kate was in a league of her own.
Good effort, but Kate Bush’s version by a mile. She is untouchable.
This song always makes me cry because 1 year ago I lost my mom & then 1 year later. I was in a coma I just thank MAXWELL for recording this song Because it gave me strength & made me a stronger woman that I am Thanku Lord for creating MAXWELL. Now 1 year ago today. I'm recovering better because of the Lord & MAXWELLS songs I'm glad I'm alive Thank. I've been a big FAN OF THE ONE & ONLY MAXWELL TO ME HE IS A ICON JUST LIKE PRINCE. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
I promise I'm praying your continued strength stay strong precious woman.
stay strong ❤️
Clarrisse Graham- May God Comfort You Heart! I think about my Queen 👑 Mother too when I hear this song!! I hope as she's Resting In Heaven she knows we All Love & Miss Her! Praying 🙏🏾 for You Wholeheartedly Clarrisse!!
♥️🙏🏾💔
May her soul Rest In Peace! 🙏🙏🙏
At least Prince didn't have to pinch a Kate Bush song.
Thank you brother Maxwell for crediting the original artist. Respect. 🙏🏽
Some of the best live vocals I’ve heard❤
This audience has just witnessed the best live vocal performance in the history of the earth - ever!

Urban Hang Suite is a masterpiece of the highest degree.
I'm sure everyone in the audience had goose bumpsI His performance is amazing!
Omg I know right
Diane Miranda ... I have goosebumps just listening to it from my phone.
I'm sure there were some who cried...
I was there, we were in awe
If I was there, I would have cried 😭
Yes, yes, yes!!! Now this is a singer. When you feel like you're at a concert through the phone and want to cry, you know he's powerful.❤❤❤
to this day I can only listen to his live version

This is the only version I download

These people have no idea what they just witnessed!! WOW!
You are so correct.
Clueless.......
Some black dude ruining a Kate Bush song by "souling" it up and dragging with the tempo?
@@Dominian1 racist bastard
@@yungeenty8929 So what? I see an inferior version performed by an inferior artist of an inferior culture. I refuse to pretend that it's on the same level as Kate Bush no matter what you call me.

That audience was left there in absolute shock.
docsbuying um I am utterly shocked this is live! His voice is naturally like that? He really is gifted

who on earth is this talented singer. What a voice!! I never thought anybody could nail this more that Kate. And such a talented band of musicians too. Just brilliant.
How can you not be familiar with Maxwell!!! He is like sentimental to this song as its one of his recognizable works, even though it's a cover but he did it outstandingly and knocked it out of the park. He did with this song like what Whitney Houston did with Dolly Parton's I'll Always Love You.
@@devontehuntley6274I thought this was his song.
I'm glad you finally heard this masterpiece. Tank has a spinoff of this song called can't let it show. Maxwell's wins by a thousand miles
@@Demspeaks44 Kate Bush wrote, recorded and produced it in 1988 when Maxwell was 15 years old. By the time Kate was 15, she'd already written most of her first two albums. Child songwriting genius. One of Britain's finest.
@@warrenbridges1891 Absolutely phenomenal.
Fellas, appreciate your ladies and don’t wait to say or do those things, you never know how long you have.
Joey Dos Santos this song was about a pregnancy. But you are right. Never take people you love for granted!
Sixxdee9 right, which is why I said to “appreciate your ladies”
Joey Dos Santos 💯. You gave the fellas advice to live by.
It’s more than just pregnancy. It’s about losing the one you love and looking back with regrets
It was meant for me to see this comment
When Maxwell hits those notes and starts doing shadow puppets, it's over ladies
Sammy Sam lol at shadow puppets
That's exactly what he does !!
I spat my drink out and laughed way too hard at “starts doing shadow puppets” 🤣🤣
He gets me all the time
LOL! Sammy Sam you're right about him making hand puppets. I was going to say I love the gestures he makes with his hands while singing. I also love how he cranes his head from side to side like he's drowsy. How many times has he sung his way out of trouble & she forgot why she was mad at him? Also I love the scar on his forehead,when I meet him I'm going to ask him what had happened?
Who’s ALL HERE in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024?
I'm here, this song touches my soul.
Present!!
Definitely yes.....such a beautiful expression of Masculine energy in the form of this extraordinary mortal man.
I've thoughtfully enjoyed the experience.

@@phathananisomvumase7375 It's crazy how much the "LIVE" version is better than the studio version. Or at least IMO it's better.
And every year there after!
I’m glad I was able to bring my husband to his show before he passed away. One of his favorites.
Maxwell made love with that song. I’m not saying it in a perverted way. He literally made love with that song. *DEEP*
Girl he caressed it gently and stared in its eyes while doing it. He rubbed its head slowly and whispered in its ear. He took his time from head to toe. He connected every emotion he had to this song. Passion. Rage. Fear. Peace. He wasn’t in a rush. He wasn’t trying to please himself only. When he was finished he held it tight until it fell asleep. The way he sung this song was purely orgasmic.
Sixxdee9 💯‼️
@@Sixxdee9 he even gave it a little foreplay with those fingers and hands

I'm here in 2020 and I still can't get enough
I don't have the words....
If you can get through this dry eyed you may be dead
This was the song for me and my ex
Ooh can't get enough of it!!
Faith Sipho same
Me either beautiful
Maxwell sung the hell outta this song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
true
And brought the heaven into it
Maxwell's one of the few artists who sound just as clean live as their produced recordings... It's always real nice 🔥
@enjoyyourself7455 A bit whiney compared to the Kate Bush original. She's as clear as a bell.
@@warrenbridges1891 meh, opinions vary but that's part of the art 🙂
@@enjoyyourself7455 It sure is.
That note at the end is THEE single greatest example of pure talent and voice control. The greatest voice to ever grace this world.
I wouldn't go so far to say that. Wonderful no doubt.
Big time Maxwell fan. I refer to him as the Master.....but not the greatest voice ever.
@Dewayne Patrick hello & how are you?
He’s an excellent singer but if we’re talking about the greatest voice ever that belongs to the late Whitney Houston. ❤
@@ladeiiluck neck and neck
In my opinion this is one of the best cover versions ever recorded. Obviously the Kate Bush original is incredible BUT the combination of the "male perspective" on the emotions of the song, Maxwells incredible vocals....its quite simply one of the MOST emotional, beautiful vocal performances EVER! You can feel the pain!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
So sorry to invade into your privacy, i just read your comment and said i should say Hello
Maxwell has a beautiful voice!!! He has studied the craft and developed his voice! A complete gift from God! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@mrs.h.2597 He didn't study the song hard enough. Got Kate's lyrics wrong.
This man’s voice is like silk ❤so beautiful and timeless
Best male vocalist performance of all time. Wow, Thank You.
Truly, he’s untouchable
@josephmcc234dy3 Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan "Child In Time" 1970.
He made it his song and the background singers was icing on the cake. ❤❤
@Nannytay2 Someone forgot to tell all the Hollywood and Netflix producers still using Kate's original. She's made half of Maxwell's total net worth for recent royalties alone. Maxwell is working for peanuts. He might be able to spare some for the cake.
I don't understand all the competition created by people between Kate Bush and Maxwell. Surely we should be thanking both, Kate Bush for writing and producing this beautiful song, as well as for her own glorious original and Maxwell for this mesmerising cover.
I've never heard the lady version of this. I assumed it was Maxwell song when I first heard it. his voice is breath taking...
+Levonnga Collins I thought so too
You've honestly never heard the original, by the woman who wrote it? Wow
bastardfingers Kate Bush is a British singer. I grew up with her music, but many Black Americans don't fuck with her genre or country (musically speaking, so they know this to Maxwell's song.
Actually you do make a good point. A lot of black americans choose to be narrow.
Bravo Bravo Maxwell! If I can give this performance 10,000 thumbs up, it still wouldn’t be enough to describe the brilliance in this performance!!!!
The hand motions the emotion he gives in this is hands down what makes this piece MASTERFUL and in my opinion one of the best live songs ever done the background singers killed it. MURDERED THIS SONG.
I was born after this song was written. Maxwell got me crying for my past life, my current and future. Got me crying over kids I don't have. Crying over the air conditioner being on. Music like this just touches my soul.
Kate write a gorgeous song.
He interpreted it masterfully.
I
Kate did it alot better
@@garysanders8350 You're missing the point.
@@zucchinigreen nope whole generation has grow up thinking this was his song. He has only mentioned kate after he secured a hit. Plus kates version is so much better
@@garysanders8350 For as long as Maxwell has been singing this song I've known it was a cover. He hasn't been trying to get credit as the original writer.
Deep voice at 0:08 - "The next song imma bout to do..."
0:35 - "aaahuuuuuuuuu"
I will always love Kates version the most, its one of the truly great songs and performances, but damn, Maxwell absolutely sings this outta the park, his voice is sublime!!
23, agosto 2024 as 20 horas e ,24 . minutos
I don't think Maxwell will ever understand how he truely out did hisself with this record. Damn I love this song, and there is NO ONE ELSE that could ever sing this song with the voice, class, and charisma as he has. Hands down one for the best male singers of our generation.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
So sorry to invade into your privacy, i just read your comment and said i should say Hi
💯💯💯 I agree with you.
Himself. Hisself is hood-speak (e.g. 'conversate')
@@jbeag807 Hisself is actually AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and most people who speak that particular dialect can also speak standard English.
@@nkirulewis4415 According to African American scholar Thomas Sowell, much of the terminology originated in Britain anyway. In the outer regions which were last to become educated. It has long since died out in Britain. Just as the archaic Mexican Spanish and American German had died out many years earlier in their respective countries of origin.
He put everything in this performance! His body language says it all! I LOVE me some Maxwell!!!
This has to be one of the best live performances ever 🙌 his voice and vocals are so amazing 👏 wow!
