@@sidthecookiethief3133 yeah, but I think what the commenter is trying to say is - just given Ed sheeran’s song writing and arrangement skills, he can cover almost any song (even those out of his technical or vocal range) beautifully.
@@sidthecookiethief3133 Range is irrelevant to the fact he could cover any song. I listened to Adam's version and its not even 10% as good as Ed's take on this IMO
I have listened to the John Mayer rendition as well, since I am an avid John Mayer fan, and I like both. Both have their own place. To those saying it doesn't fit him and that he has no feel for the blues, know this, music will always be open to interpretation, he did it in his way with the buttery vocals and it was pretty darn good.

So many times a cover song sounds so distorted it "Ain't no fun." Ed kills this and honors Bill Withers with his version of this top 100 classic song. Thanks Ed !
Omg I never usually love a cover as much as the original singer's version but Ed Sheeran could literally sing the phone book and make it sound incredible !! He is honestly the most amazingly talented musician/artist of this generation and in my opinion the next great music legend who will be remembered and loved forever, I truly think that Bill Withers would have absolutely loved the way Ed sang his iconic song with so much care, feeling, emotion and respect, I personally love Ed Sheeran singing Ain't no sunshine equally as much as I love Bill Withers' classic version, Ed really did this iconic song justice and it was a beautiful tribute to a truly great musician, well done to Ed Sheeran just fantastic 🥰💝🎶
Exactly. It's not the same as the original but it's still good to listen to. I think because Ed Sheeran generally appeals to a younger audience people forget he's genuinely talented.
Ain't No Sunshine Bill Withers Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's always gone too long Anytime she goes away Wonder this time where she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I know, I know, Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone But ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away
Loved it loved the musicians with him 🥰 I basically love any version of this song was just telling my co worker this was one of my favorite songs orig is of course my personal favorite 🤩
Pleasantly surprised that Ed covers this song. Love it & many covers of this classic song. It is said the greatest form of flattery is imitation, proving what a much loved song this is. RIP to Bill Withers.
@teddyistheonlyone : I am.watching Ed sing one of my favorite songs 🎵 from the 70 's called " Ain't No Sunshine " written by the legendary Bill Withers . This tribute to him was done with class...At Carnegie Hall and performed by Ed Sheeran & Jon Batiste & Stay Human .. Such a great job and it sounds so beautiful and I just love watching Ed during this song his voice is amazing .I couldn't take my eye off the screen during this performance ..Well done to all that made this possible . And this video is from Liam thank you so much for letting me is this .. wow fabulous song remake I enjoyed every minute .Always Yours Laura @ God Bless You Ed 💋 💋 😘 kisses for all your work .
Don't know why everyone in the comments is comparing this cover to other covers or even the original. Why don't you just enjoy listening and then go and enjoy listening to the other cover. Comparing makes unhappy.
Because peoples minds expect something as good or maybe even better than original.....and not to mention because its human nature to critique/judge....
Bruh if they say BALD MAN then they are referencing someone that did a meme. Straight up a joke. Also I was going to say who but decided not to ruin the mystery. If you don’t know, you don’t know.
Ed Sheehan, you kicked this song into high gear with your awesome and sensuous voice, and the instrumentals were spectacular. Anyone who puts this version in second place has no ear for great music or singing voices in my opinion. Keep it up Ed, you’re amazing in my book!🎵♥️🎶
@@AndyGalvan-of1wl So many people want to compare him to bill withers, but he’s not trying to be Bill Withers, he’s just singing the song his own way, and that’s what real artists do. Copying someone else’s version is fine also, but it takes a lot of talent to do it differently and make it your own, just like painting. It’s nice to meet you also.
Credit to the legend that his music touched many an up and coming musician and singer. Stop comparing, this is not what this should be about, saying Bill Withers sings this better than Ed is like saying a fork is an eating utensil, obvious but of no use to a grown up semi intelligent conversation . R.I.P Bill Withers.
I'm not a fan of him but this is very good, emotional cover of a very hard song. He sounds really good here. I'd listen to him more if it was all like this
I don't like ed Sheeran but he does a great job here. Most people who cover this song just wanna belt it out but this version has that calm yet powerful tone Bill's had.
ED actually did better than I thought he would. I thought he would be flat and bland from beginning to end but he actually lit it up at the end and those musicians playing sounded great too. Good job👍🏽
They are all great artists in their own ways. That is undeniable. Leave for every individual to choose his or her favorite. I love gospel, blues and even bluegrass, because most of those songs give great room for musicians to do their free interpretation.
Can’t deny Ed is a huge talent. He’s worked really hard. Love his collaborations with different genres.
Ed can sing anything, anytime, anywhere, and it's fantastic!!
Not really. No. Not anything. Not anytime. His range is not even remotely close to say Adam Levine. Still, I like Ed Sheeran a lot.

The haunting spareness of his backup players and their perfect timing are fantastic.

I never get tired of watching this. So much talent all around.
Absolutely beautiful!! He's so talented!!
Jeez relax it’s not a competition!! Just enjoy the damn music!!
Except, he didn’t embarrass himself. He interpreted it is his way, as he has no where near the voice to even come close to Bill Withers sound.
Right!

Will 12q: so true. People tend to make comparisons between performers. Just relax and enjoy. Each artist puts their own spin on a song.
I think that ES did a great job with a timeless song. I really enjoyed that healthy bit of "soul" Ed added to the pulse of the song. Great job Mr.!
This kid is pure talent . He can do anything and own it. Fabulously done ❤️❤️❤️
Impressive. It always surprises me how well he does with the blues
I love love love how he complied his band. So simple and so cool!
BALD MAN is shutting this cover down... No one can stop him now..

It is rare for me to genuinely like a cover. This one... I love!
Love this song, always have. LOVE Ed, always have. And I am loving the melodica! So unique! What an awesome tribute!
Hi Lauralee💐💐
Jon Batiste I believe.
Wow.....this really suits his voice. Smooth band and great vocals!

Again it proves that if you have something really important to say …. keeping it simple is always works best !!
i love how ed can cover pretty much anything and it sounds amazing
He's really great. Love his voice and I appreciate the reupload👌
Rest in peace Bill Withers, a true legend ❤️🙏🏼
I don’t care what anyone says, this kid is special no way around it.
Absolutely!
Right. Lol. He is..
Very special. No imitation. He is himself. I love it.
Agreed
20 years from now he’ll still be making wonderful music.

Sadly he is no longer Withers

Hi Sharon💐💐
One of my favourite songs ever. Ed Sheeran's voice is amazing. He does this song justice.
Love Ed Sheeran. He's so understated when he talks about himself. He absolutely deserves all his success and he's genuinely talented.
When your doing a Cover of a song you do it like this. You do your own version. Bravo Ed
John mayers cover is my favourite. That soulful guitar gets me every time.
Love Ed's take on a beautiful song❣ A song is just a song...the singer makes it beautiful ❣ Awesome Ed❣❤🎶🥰 Thankyou, Ed❣

Who cares

There aren’t many singers who can cover this amazingly. George Michael was one and Ed Sheeran is another ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Caroline💐💐
Michael Jackson's was amazing.
Best cover of this song I have ever heard. Once I heard that baritone I was in!!!
He certainly nailed it Ed does a great job of this classic.
I always loved this with Bill Withers. You are doing an awesome job here Ed. love it Deb.
So no one's gonna appreciate the band too, I think they're good
They were so good! I'm trying to find out more about them. Who are they?? That's why I went to the comments.
You go ahead. Why wait for someone else to do it? DUMB.

nah still no soul, how can u even find the soul in this version lol?
From a ginger got plenty of soul
they have no soul so they steal it from the people around them
Listen to Matt Anderson cover
Wow thats what you call soul I was captivated from the start Never heard of this wonderful talent before Thanks for enlightening me

if I wasnt a fan before, this would make me one. Each performer makes it their own. As he does.
my thoughts exactly! he’s killing it
I'm not a fan of him but this is very good, emotional cover of a very hard song. He sounds really good here. I'd listen to him more if it was all like this
you should listen to him more.... a lot of his music is like this.
"A very hard song" lol
Hard to perform.

You should listen his version of Make It Rain if you like this style
so good, love your work Ed!
Its a compliment any time a really good artist covers your song im sure. Well done!
RIP Bill Withers 😪💔
BALD MAN is shutting this cover down... No one can stop him now..
He made West Virginia so proud. One of the best singers to ever come from West Virginia and the people loved him.
Love his singing voice he did a great job singing this song.
I like the interesting instruments on that stage with him and how quietly they are played. very creative!
