    Thank you for this...i truly appreciate this. It ha been quite difficult to read so much criticism about my voice and the way i have interpreted this cover, but i do respect peoples opinion and right to express opinion. I love what i do and i do it with my soul, there is always room for progress and learning and that's exactly what i intend to do. thanks for the support!

    Seriously ever song that I have ever loved he sings and he is so amazing so EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SEE PETER HOLLENS! I do think that Alisha was kind of not really singing but throwing her voice everywhere and it did sound a little tangy if that is the right word

  • @kbetch3
    @kbetch3 11 лет назад

    Every singer has their different way of singing a song. It's what makes it special. No one should sing it exactly like someone else did. I love Alisha's voice in this.

    Yeah, gonna have to say no on her voice. She almost sounds like a good singer making fun of people who try to sing well. It is a lot overdone. Peter's voice is awesome, as usual. Stick with your wife though. She is awesome!

    I concur with this statement. Loch Lommond is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard before, right next to this one.

  • @Vesperia3
    @Vesperia3 10 лет назад +170

    This is a song that requires softness and restraint. Peter really was perfect for it, but not her ... She has a very good voice no doubt, but her approach to the song was too theatrical ... Too bad, this could have been one, if not the best cover of this song...

    • @justinmorrison7099
      @justinmorrison7099 10 лет назад +8

      My thoughts exactly!!

    • @hAnkoCZ
      @hAnkoCZ 10 лет назад +8

      I agree, but... Peter stands for the traditional origin of the song from Leonard Cohen (and calm covers like Rufus Wainwright) and she represents the more modern version from Alexandra Burke. All the songs change from cover to cover and we have to deal with it.

    • @Vesperia3
      @Vesperia3 10 лет назад +18

      Edwin butler We're talking about Alisha Popat, which was quite obvious I think, since she's the only girl in the video...

    • @4260laurel
      @4260laurel 10 лет назад +9

      I agree- she was to sexed up and too breathy- he, as always is perfection

    • @deadmetal6865
      @deadmetal6865 10 лет назад +6

      Agree, as laurel said, she was trying waaaay too hard to sex it up and it just came off as cheap. Peter was great.

  • @FullFrontalNerdity
    @FullFrontalNerdity 10 лет назад +40

    Pete, love your voice, as always. Alisha's voice is good, but the pop vocal styling she employs completely ruins her parts of this song for me. This song should be sung straight - no vocal catches, no emotion slides, none of that nonsense.

  • @Yawny_124
    @Yawny_124 11 лет назад

    I love how they both sing! Their styles in each verse are a bit different, but they mesh well, in my opinion. The way she sings the second verse adds something to it, her own emotion to the lyrics, while Peter's has his emotion, just expressed differently. I've heard so many covers of this song, "modern-sounding" and "old-fashioned", and this one is a splendid mix of both.
    I wish people would stop being so close-minded about the song and just appreciate the musical talent they both have.

    @garyhiggins5823 10 лет назад +8

    loved the song, loved your voice...wanted to like Alisha, but that didn't happen. Her solo didn't really blend and she kinda over-enunciated. She was just a little too dramatic for the tone of the song or something.

    I, actually, didn't like much any of this song's covers... and I love this song!! this girl is just trying too much to make it a little more modern, pop-y, hopefully you get what I mean... and the other girl was hitting notes too high that she bothered me.. Peter is amazing, though, anyways!! (I don't mean that the girls are not great singers, though, I just didn't like what they did with their voices in this song...:))

    peter was perfect as usual, but it would have been a lot better without her; she sounded far too sexual with her tones and this song is definitely not suited to that kind of thing

      @GreenFesh 10 лет назад +3

      i think a sexual voice is not wrong in place thinking of the topic of the song. she sings the part, where men got seduced by women. but i don't really like the harmonies at this part, i think her voice is fine

    Strangely enough, the Kenya girl went too "American" with this. Showed lots of skin, overplayed a part meant to be simple, tried to sound like something she wasn't. Everyone these days tries to sound like they're on American Idol rather than just doing what Peter does and singing for the love of music.

    I really don't understand the cruelness of these comments towards Alisha. They did a wonderful collaboration with voices so clear and true that brings feeling to my soul where there was none. I think both of you did a tremendous job!!!

    I recently came across your channel through Lindsey Sterling and I have to say your songs just brings me to tears. You have an amazing voice. Truly God given. Amazing Grace would be another great addition in your acapella library. Look forward to hearing it.

    Fantastic.
    Such good harmonic chemistry! I like how you changed it up when Alisha sang. Good work, sir.

    I LOVED this. The Alisha started singing, and I almost had to stop watching.
