stockjonebills There have been many wonderful song writers who have created songs that were more famous with other singers. Carol King wrote many songs that were recorded by others. Dolly Parton’s “I will always love you” is better known as a Whitney Houston song. Ms. Perry has written some remarkable music, and I am certainly a fan, but I am also glad Christina Aguilera recorded this song. It is truly beautiful and powerful.
The way she emphasizes "WORDS" can't bring me down It really takes you to the soul of the song, their words can't hurt you but your words to yourself can break you more. Don't belive the negative shit people point out, you are the author of your own story
I love Linda Perry ever since the first I heard that "What's up", this woman is beautiful inside and out no matter what they say...this video alone should have deserved more than a million views. What ever happened to the love for real music..??
Definitely not in my algorithm. I searched for Linda !!! 5 years and only a few thousand views???????? 50 thumbs down? Must not know about true talent... real artistry !!!! Love your soul Linda you are a legend in my book!

This song it's so beautiful, it's a hymn for loneliness and superation.
Just fully discovering her now. She is going right to the top of my favorite singer-songwriters along with Cat Power (and of course Bob Dylan etc). What a voice and what songcraft.
I have always loved this song as sung by Christina Aguilera but this is positively heavenly. No doubt THIS is how that song was meant to be sung! Absolutely AMAZING.
I remember seeing this in 2016 but now that im older and watching this it gives me a whole new meaning to this song when she sings it. cuz im putting my foot in her shoes . just imagine the reason why she wrote this. not cuz she was inspired. somebody hurt her and this song was her telling herself shes beautiful ! ugh Linda I love you!
Wish she would release an album of all her great songs written for others along with a couple from her first group such as What's Up. If she doesn't do it, I am going to record this great stuff from these online sources for my own personal listening. What a talent.
I just listened the christina's version of this song and then linda's original version showed up, i clicked it and automatically started crying, it's amazing how a very dark song can only belong to the original composer cause it is part of her soul. Just beautiful!
That song is originally sung by Christina, Linda wrote it, but the first recording is by Christina Aguilera, that was made clear by Linda in several interviews. She said that she could not believe that a woman as beautiful as Christina Aguilera could identify with that song, and sing it with so much feeling, that for that reason she gave it to him to include in her album Stripped
The difference was, it wasn't a hit song or a meaningful video. It was raw emotion. Understanding being the square peg not fitting into a round hole. Don't get me wrong, what Christina did with it was beautiful as well, but to hear it from the person who wrote it.....you can feel that. Thank you for so many amazing songs.
I’ve heard other performers sing this song many times, but it was only when I heard Linda Perry sing this song that she wrote that I got goosebumps!👍🇨🇦
I agree. This is how this song is supposed to be sung. No offense to anyone else. This song is as ode to loneliness and despair, sung by a master singer/songwriter. Linda Perry deserves to be recognized as one of the best songwriters of this time!! G-d bless you Linda Perry.
OmG I love her performing her own songs! I remember myself listening to that song for the first time by Christina A. - I was so touched. And so am I today. Thank you Linda! 😭🤗
Every day is so wonderful And suddenly it's hard to breathe Now and then I get insecure From all the pain, feel so ashamed I am beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring me down I am beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no So don't you bring me down today To all your friends you're delirious So consumed in all your doom Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is? 'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down, oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no So don't you bring me down today No matter what we do No matter what we do (No matter what we say) No matter what we say (We're the song that's outta tune) (Full of beautiful mistakes) (And everywhere we go) And everywhere we go (The sun will always shine) The sun will always, always shine! (But tomorrow we might awake on the other side) 'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no So don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today
so deep..so real..able to put the pain in words and notes, what a precious song. Linda left us that gift , lot of blind spirits in front her but she know and she don't care trying to remember us about our soul .."let your spirit live and talk". thank you again Linda Perry. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
This is the person who truly deserves credit for this inspirational tune. Nothing against Christina Aguilera, but this just feels so much more meaningful coming from its creator, especially after hearing that it was a difficult song for her to write, since it was really personal. I’ve read that she’s never regretted giving the song to CA and so I can accept that that’s the version that became best known. But Linda’s own will always be the most important one to me.
Linda produced the whole album for Christina that Beautiful is on, Linda could have had Christina sing it anyway she wanted as the producer. We got the version they both wanted us to have.
@@th2k864 You’re right. In the end, it’s the songwriter’s choice who gets to originally record the song. Some allow other artists to, while others won’t. In Linda’s case, it seems like a choice she was happy with. Although I don’t think she produced the whole album it was on.
Yes I am delirious,.........with the sound of your voice and words. Wonderful,wonderful,wonderful. I didn't know you wrote that. Only ever having only heard the cover. Words can't bring us down.
She wrote this song, she ALWAYS sings from her heart, Chris Cornell, exactly the same...he was totally in touch with his emotions...it overtook him, and now we all feel loss, we Almont lost, Linda Perry too, for all the same reasons...im so thankful she is still here, and Chris? You broke our hearts! I still love ya .
It's always fascinating to hear the person who wrote something AFTER knowing it as someone else's track. It's funny, I remember a while back, telling a friend "You know that singer Pink? It's weird, but some of her songs don't resonate with me at all, they are just there, but some I absolutely LOVE, not just love, but they feel familiar." And then I found out Linda Perry was working with her on literally every one of those songs I was drawn to. Prink is super talented, please don't mistake me, but I get the feeling she just wouldn't be my style if she had not hooked up with Perry. No shade on anyone ,just find it interesting.
I disagree with most of the reviews here. Linda herself handed the song to Christina because she thought she had the need to pass on the emotion that music needed, Seriously people, this song has become what it is because it's Chistina who sings, and there are yes many performances of music that rip of emotion. To say that Xtina can not pass emotion in the music and is purely technical comes to be even ironic because she gave up a good vocal technique to show emotion in their songs.
I think xtina's version is full of emotion, just like linda's. You can even hear xtina saying "don't look at me" in the beginning of the song. It makes it sound so personal and intimate.
@@flohfish it was not written for xTina linda wrote it a few years before she ever met her...pink wanted the song and linda told her she wasnt right for it and she gave it to Christina and that was the cause of Linda and pinks falling out
People dont realize that Perry has written so many hit songs for other artists. Love hearing her sing her own songs.
She is SUPER BEAUTIFUL
She is so precious and heartwarming ♡
Lovely🙄🙄🙄💖💟💜💝💛❤

stockjonebills she has an amazing voice and a beautiful heart. So much passion for others.
i love this woman. her voice. her style. her attitude. and i think people should realize how many hit songs she wrote for other artists man.
The way she emphasizes "WORDS" can't bring me down
It really takes you to the soul of the song, their words can't hurt you but your words to yourself can break you more.
Don't belive the negative shit people point out, you are the author of your own story
This song truly is beautiful in every way.

She is tops...2018...are you with me..??
I’ve watched this about a dozen times in the last few days.
There's something different about the way only the original writer of a song like this can sing it. Love it.
Yep!! It's raw without the "Ballard" part!! makes the song more personal and a different meaning when Linda sings it
Linda essa canção é a voz da linda tbm
She brings music into the higher level just by being herself . You are beautiful Linda Perry ♡
I have always loved this song as sung by Christina Aguilera but this is positively heavenly. No doubt THIS is how that song was meant to be sung! Absolutely AMAZING.
So much emotion and feeling in her rendition of her own song
I remember seeing this in 2016 but now that im older and watching this it gives me a whole new meaning to this song when she sings it. cuz im putting my foot in her shoes . just imagine the reason why she wrote this. not cuz she was inspired. somebody hurt her and this song was her telling herself shes beautiful ! ugh Linda I love you!

You should listen to the “Beautiful Demo” by Xtina, it’s floating around somewhere here on RUclips... kinda reminds me of this performance
That song is originally sung by Christina, Linda wrote it, but the first recording is by Christina Aguilera, that was made clear by Linda in several interviews. She said that she could not believe that a woman as beautiful as Christina Aguilera could identify with that song, and sing it with so much feeling, that for that reason she gave it to him to include in her album Stripped
I really hope that there aren't any Christina fans thumbing this down. They may not know it was written by one of the OGs of pop music.
@@turtleislandlac1490 she's an OG of rock music not pop.
@@saulgster Many of the songs she has written or co-written wouldn't fall into the rock category.
The difference was, it wasn't a hit song or a meaningful video. It was raw emotion. Understanding being the square peg not fitting into a round hole. Don't get me wrong, what Christina did with it was beautiful as well, but to hear it from the person who wrote it.....you can feel that. Thank you for so many amazing songs.

that's true ! that's no commerical pop music. that's her song. it's a feeling comes out of her like all her amazing songs
Just a woman and her piano..beautiful
no, actually u have a pervert's mind. that's it 💁🏻♀️
I love Linda Perry for everything and especially for being honest. - Charity in Wisconsin
I agree. This is how this song is supposed to be sung. No offense to anyone else.
This song is as ode to loneliness and despair, sung by a master singer/songwriter.
Linda Perry deserves to be recognized as one of the best songwriters of this time!!
G-d bless you Linda Perry.
Just to add to my note: the raw emotion of the song brings tears to my eyes.
Daniel Breslow coolest woman in rock after Janis
Daniel Breslow...agreed! Linda Perry is awesome!!
Sí. Ella compuso esa canción.❤
Crazy talent... so many great songs for huge artists.... be kind.
So much power ,and talent....that voice is just amazing
What a strangely amazing talent, whether with 4 Non Blondes or solo. A divine voice that fills one with the essence of life and beauty :-)
Yeah she's a a genius
40k views. Funny how the true core of what is so popular can remain somewhat hidden
You summed it up so beautifully in one sentence. I guess it's in our human nature to skim over the surface.
This master piece is no need of vocal technicality but need feeling and emotions to bring this master piece song to live
I literally just found out that she wrote this song. I really enjoyed hearing Linda sing it herself. This was really good.
OmG I love her performing her own songs! I remember myself listening to that song for the first time by Christina A. - I was so touched. And so am I today. Thank you Linda! 😭🤗
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, feel so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?
'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
No matter what we do
(No matter what we say)
No matter what we say
(We're the song that's outta tune)
(Full of beautiful mistakes)
(And everywhere we go)
And everywhere we go
(The sun will always shine)
The sun will always, always shine!
(But tomorrow we might awake on the other side)
'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
This is so beautiful

the original my friend
Beautiful song! I've never heard Linda Perry sing this song until just now.
Precioso tema. Gracias Linda por todo lo que nos ofreces
Her voice is so beautiful and painful because she is telling everyone a story
Masterpiece!!!! Wow I lov this song 🎵 thank you Linda Perry
This is how the song was originally supposed to sound like
So Beautiful so relaxing😏❤
I'm glad Xtina took the song
I think the only time Ive ever pulled the car of the road to hear a song, was Christina's version of this song. This version is by far my favorite.
Eu amo a Linda Perry ❤
Ms Perry.. The real artiste behind the song Beautiful!
Yes I am delirious,.........with the sound of your voice and words.
Wonderful,wonderful,wonderful. I didn't know you wrote that.
Only ever having only heard the cover.
Words can't bring us down.
Her emotion while singing reminds me of a female version of Chris Cornell... Rip Chris
Sure, really amazing! There is grunge in her voice.
I wish they had worked together!!
She reminds me a lot of Lou Reid. RIP Lou.
Chris wasn't really an emotional singer.
She wrote this song, she ALWAYS sings from her heart, Chris Cornell, exactly the same...he was totally in touch with his emotions...it overtook him, and now we all feel loss, we Almont lost, Linda Perry too, for all the same reasons...im so thankful she is still here, and Chris? You broke our hearts! I still love ya .
F..n Right
That was AWESOME!
OMFG I am gonna cry........
la tua voce mi fa sentire in paradiso da sempre...ti amo piccola non smettere mai di fare canzoni e portare la tua emozione dentro di noi !!!

Have loved her for years💞
this song is beautifull
So Beautiful💜
Amooo as músicas dela canta pra caralho , Brasil 🇧🇷
she has written so many songs, beautiful songs, including this one and several more for xtina aguilera

Linda Perry is the best.

Wrong. You can still be young and respect the singers before your generation and be less ignorant even if its not what you're used to.
Exactly. I once saw an interview. This song was specially written for Christina A. However, I still prefer this version and the one of Lemonheads
I think xtina's version is full of emotion, just like linda's. You can even hear xtina saying "don't look at me" in the beginning of the song. It makes it sound so personal and intimate.
