Look at her going up and down the chords with her left hand. . .that's pure talent right there!
She is British - Norwegian born in Dubai. She is 14 in this cover. She is 16 now. She also plays guitar. She is also a song writer with several originals in her you tube channel. I think her name is pronounced Ling-e, rhymes with sing. I hope you react to more of her content. Her subscribers are growing fast
Beautiful playing of that signature melody on piano! Just the right touch with the keys, oh this is something special!
Great reaction to the beautiful and multi-talented, Emily Linge. None of you reaction guys or gals can ever get her name right so I guess she will have to be one of those annoying, one name stars. Emily!. lol. Try saying Linger like you were British and drop the R. Emily is a favorite of many of us as she plays all the old music us Boomers grew up with. Not just that she covers classic rock but she does it extremely well. She also does more recent songs that I never heard before that I just love. She is well managed by her mother, Christine and has two older brothers that are also musical. You can see them in her Let It Be cover, which is awesome, btw. Thanks for the wonderful, thoughtful reaction. You rock Phillip.
New subscriber, if you are going to be doing Emily's performances I am here for it. Thoughtful reaction to Emily's most viewed performance at the age of 14, and also served as my introduction to her 2 years ago. I have listened to her everyday since. Emily also has become a talented singer/songwriter of her on accord with 14 original songs, 4 in the past seven months. Kaffebrenneriet and A Moment In Time are 2 recent originals both beautiful piano pieces. Thank you for your interest in Emily Linge ( Ling-e e as in egg ). :) It is tricky for many people.
You have to check out her new cover of the French song Voila, It's AMAZING.
Hi Philip, it's Mick in the UK. Thank you for reacting to the extraordinary talent that is Emily. She is phenomenal. If you played her recordings for twelve hours non-stop, you would never have to repeat a song. Who else can you do that for? Not many, and none at sixteen years old. Well you asked about some background information on Emily, so the following is what I have written and sent out to her three fan clubs around the world. For all new fans, and fans of old, I give you……
The Background Story of Emily Linge. The surname is Norwegian and is pronounced “LING” as in sing, and “Eh” as in egg. “Ling-Eh.” Emily was born and raised in Dubai. She has an English mother, a Norwegian father, and three brothers, two older, Thomas and Christian, and one younger, Stephan. All siblings are musically talented which they inherited partly from their paternal grandfather who plays piano, but mainly from their mother Christine, who was a singer and guitarist in the well respected and talented UK country music band Kristina and the Kachina Band in the 1990s. The band was offered some lucrative bookings in Dubai and took up the opportunity. Christine and lead guitarist Simon Tomkins liked the lifestyle, and probably the financial benefits, and decided to stay there. Christine met, and married Eivind Linge, a dentist from Norway, and settled in Dubai. Christine continued working hard touring and, at the same time raising a family. She, unfortunately, had to give up her music career in 2005 due to medical reasons. Two years later, Emily was born on 5th December, 2007.
Emily began singing from the age of two, and by the time she was nine years old her mom decided to devote her time as Emily’s vocal coach and manager. It was about this time that Emily began piano lessons with none other than Ovidio De Ferrari, one of the finest concert pianists in the world, who also happened to live in Dubai. Emily was also playing ukulele and taking guitar lessons from Simon Tomkins. When Emily was ten she recorded Yes, We Know It’s Christmas Time, written by family friend Simon Cheshire. By the time she was eleven in 2019, Emily had opened her RUclips channel (2nd March), and had entered The Voice Kids UK as a duo with school friend Holly. Mentored by Pixie Lott, the girls harmonized well but were knocked out in the semi-finals (the “battles round.”) On 15th August, 2019, the song Words On Paper was uploaded on RUclips by Jean Bass, its composer, and sung by Emily.
Later in the year, Emily took part in The Young Musician of the Year Award 2019 hosted by the prestigious QE2, now a floating hotel and entertainment centre in Dubai. Eleven year old Emily became a finalist singing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing. On 11th July, 2020, Emily took part in the Yalla Festival, in Dubai, where musicians from the city were beamed around the world via the internet. The Yalla Festival was a two day event, incorporating twelve acts, six per day, and Emily was the opening act on the second day. It is basically a virtual concert where Emily was able to perform live for half an hour with a selection of eight songs, and playing both piano and guitar. For a twelve year old to do this, all from memory, without lyrics or sheet music, is pretty amazing by anyone’s standards. Emily’s version of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven is something special. Well done Emily.
In June, 2020, Sina, of Sina Drums fame, collaborated with Emily to record Morning Has Broken, which has since received well over one million views on RUclips. Sina had a special section on her RUclips channel where, once a week, she would choose the “Collaboration Artist of the Week,” and Emily had the honour of being the first one chosen out of the many musicians and artists that Sina has collaborated with. In May, 2020, planning began by Sina Drums to commemorate what would have been John Lennon’s 80th Birthday on 9th October in that year. The plan was to record The Beatles’ Abbey Road medley (Golden Slumbers etc), in time for Lennon’s Birthday. Mike Wilbury, who is Sina’s dad, was the mastermind behind the video and production. Sina wanted to gather some of the most talented young musicians across Europe for the recording. Sina and Chiara Kilchling (support vocals, guitarist) were filmed in Germany, and Manou Rao (guitarist) in France. Now all they needed was a lead singer who could play piano. Sina remembered that Emily had recorded Golden Slumbers earlier that year, so Emily was contacted and agreed to supply the lead vocals and piano, and was filmed and recorded in Dubai. Let’s face it, who in their right mind would have a twelve year old as lead singer on such an important project??? Well, Sina obviously knew what she was doing. With Mike Wilbury’s genius, the whole thing was put together and finally uploaded on 9th October, John Lennon’s birthday. There have been many versions of The Abbey Road medley, but I don’t think that anyone can argue that this is the ultimate cover? When this project aired, Emily’s RUclips subscriptions rocketed from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
In March, 2021, thirteen year old Emily recorded Girls Like Me, the Mary Chapin Carpenter song, followed by Have You Ever Seen The Rain, the Creedence Clearwater Revival song written by John Fogerty. Both artists congratulated Emily on her beautiful covers, and John Fogerty even put Emily’s cover on his own Tik Tok page. Three months later, Emily recorded The Rose, from the film of Janis Joplin’s life story, and made famous by Bette Midler. The song was written by Amanda McBroom, who also contacted Emily to praise her, and said that she was going to “steal” Emily’s piano solo for her own concerts. Emily nearly always adds her own piano solos to her covers of other artists’ originals, and all the musical arrangements are her own work.
Emily has always relished a musical challenge, and has gained a number of “firsts” in recent years. When she was thirteen, she was the first solo artist to sing and play Queens’ “Don’t Stop Me Now” live, in front of camera. At fourteen, Emily was the first to strip down the Procol Harum song A Whiter Shade Of Pale from a full band set-up to just her voice and piano, doing the arrangement herself, and once again, performed it live. Following this being uploaded, Emily received over one million views on her RUclips channel in less than two weeks, with her subscriptions going well over one hundred thousand. When Emily was fifteen she took on what I consider to be the ultimate challenge, when she became the first ever solo artist to cover the full six minute version of Queens’ “Bohemian Rhapsody” live, on camera. Many have recorded shortened versions of the song, and even Queen would not play the full version live on stage. They would stop just short of “Scaramouche, Scaramouche,” then morph into another of their songs and form a medley. On their recording, “Scaramouche” onwards is where the recording studio wizardry kicks in.
Emily is sixteen now and still loves a challenge. In January of this year she recorded “Crazy” the Willie Nelson song made famous by Patsy Cline. Patsy’s version had a special stand-out piano arrangement, by none other than Floyd Cramer, added to the recording. Many artists have recorded “Crazy” with someone playing the Cramer arrangement, but Emily is the first artist to sing and play the iconic piano arrangement live, at the same time.
Emily’s other interests are: playing tennis, running, sewing, art, dancing, and looking after the love of her life, her pet Red-Fronted Macaw, Rocky.
I believe Emily will continue to take on new challenges that come her way, and make new “firsts” in doing so. She is on target for achieving a million RUclips subscriptions in the future, and has now hit over one hundred million views on her RUclips channel. To date Emily has recorded 188 videos, including fourteen self-penned quality songs with more in the pipeline. I am sure that you will join me in wishing Emily every success for the future?" Thank you Philip. Take care, kind regards, Mick.
Emily’s talents are unquestionable. She will practise a song, or songs, until they are perfected. She will then record them live, on camera, and usually in one take, in her home recording studio that her mom, Christine, had built when she was performing. Once the initial live recording is done, Emily will very often add other instruments such as guitar or keyboard orchestration, with her guitar tutor, Simon Tomkins, adding lead guitar and other guitar effects. The completed recording is then taken to Sound Struck studios, in Dubai, for mix/mastering, to get the sound levels correct, and sometimes percussion is added. The end result is then uploaded onto Emily’s RUclips channel. Emily does all the musical arrangements herself, and has done since she was eleven.
Muchas gracias Mick por tan completísima información. Impresionante 👏🏼👏🏼 No hay duda que el talento de Emily la llevará donde quiera y su equipo de trabajo es su soporte fundamental, todas esas personas que nombras y la rodean.
@@javierdianezmillan1044 You are very welcome. Take care.
I've always loved the neo-baroque feel to the melody line of this song. Emily's piano playing really brings that out!
I am still working on the definition of neo-con. 😀
What a great song to cover. Literally EVERYBODY in the '60's loved this song-it really encapsulates the spirit, the zetigeist of that time. Will have to check out Emily's cover of this! Tall order! Let's see how she brings it off!
This song was so popular in the 70's when I was growing up; I had no idea it was released in the 60's. But you are correct.
And just when you think it can't any better, she starts singing like THAT???!!! Wow!!!
A masterful performance! Loved it!!!
