Most singers hit some sort of hesitant trance before going into riffs/runs/money notes, but I've always found that Shoshana, arguably one of the few greatest singers in this era, lets her emotion lead her vocally. It's exquisite to witness -- a huge fan of this cover. Genuinely wish she had more recognition here in London x
Matthew Facchino proof is that none of her performances of this song are the same. NONE. I never know what type of seizure she’s about to induce but I know it’s coming 👌🏽
Good to know bc I thought you all had lost it or were dead! It baffled me how someone could just sit there silently while Sho lived and died on the stage!!!!!!
"This just paid my college debt", "my entire life before seeing this video was a lie", "this snatched my weave and I dont even want it back", "my house just burned down", "can someone help me find my edges" 5/5 stars #slaymylife
I hate how people say, "The world aint ready for you," especially when they enjoy someone. I'm here to say that the world IS READY for Ms. Shoshana Bean! I, me, we... are, indeed, ready for you, ma'am!!!!!!!!! Now, please excuse me while I go collect my edges left all around my room!
Rarely do people’s voices give me full body chills. She constantly does this to me. Also, whomever arranged this song is a fucking genius. GENIUS arrangement. Chilled to the bones flawless.
I've watched many incredible performances from extraordinary vocalists like *Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Luciano Pavarotti, Sohyang, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, Andrea Bocelli* etc. *And I can wholeheartedly say that this is one of the greatest performances of all time!* ✨
I just came back from Tara simon where she reviewed her singing. It wasnt this song it was another one. Basically she killed that song but when the comments said we should come over this side and witness this we would be blown away. Those comments were right✋ wow🎷 such talent. I'm definetly investing my time on her now😣 such a beautiful emotional performance where talent meets that emotion❤ We need awareness for this woman and I am now a dedicated fan👏❤
I've literally watched this performance at least 100 times and still cry. She's so in the moment. She almost goes to another world in this performance. I get emotional when I see a true artist truly showcase their talent and hard work. Unreal.
That note from 0:40 to 6:58 was so smooth and beautiful . . . except the ones where that sounded like a crazed saxophone . . . those had an exquisitely raw beauty that is, quite honestly, otherworldly.
I was at work listening to this and actually yelled when she started going crazy!!!! That was an awesome performance...by far the best cover of this song I've heard.
Sometimes you watch performances that make you cry. This was one of them. The control, especially in the high notes was incredible... I thought she couldn't go higher, but she kept going. This & Yebba's My Mind have been the only performances to make me cry.
I'm floored and so happy she let her voice flow wherever the music took her. I could be wrong but her mic placement looked like she wasn't 100% sure how those high falsettos would come out. Thank goodness she didn't shy away because the Queen's voice delivered and then some. I have chills from the soul that was overflowing in this performance.
We will never know, but I'm guessing, if Foy Vance was sitting in that front row, when she finished he'd had been in tears. And just like Trent Reznor & Johny Cash, he'd had told Shoshana she now ... owns that song.
I can't tell you just how many performances I've watched from true vocalists, and this is right up there amongst the top vocal performances of all time!!!
I was listening in stunned silence, then tears started flowing and then I was full on sobbing... I don't even know why, what happened to me... I'm still crying now as I'm writing this.
Blows the pants off Ed Sheeran's version in my opinion. An amazing cover. The ending was breathtaking 😮 I think even Foy Vance would would give you a massive thumbs up Shoshana. 😍
This is my first time watching a performance by Shoshana. I admit at first I wasn’t all that impressed after listening for 2 minutes. I thought nice voice…kind of raspy but pleasing to the ear. When she got to the climax around 6 minutes….Baby….that woman let it all go!!! Those notes just felt so real and unrestrained. It was just raw emotion pouring out. That’s a real singer. Bravo!! Looking forward to checking out her other performances.
This performance is a drug for me, I can't stop listening and watching. My vote for Performance of the Year. Love everything about it, even the fashion.
This is my most favorite vocal performance ever. OMG. So professional. So into it. So *everything*. I listen to this thing two or three times at least once a week. You give me faith in humanity that there can actually be someone as amazing as you are. My soul thanks you!
Dynamics are truly a wonder to behold! The first 5 minutes of the song were kept at piano/mezzo piano (soft) so that she still had the energy and stamina for the forte (loud) at the end. And her control 😍
In a way, you're not wrong😋. I was watching Jackson Gillies' American Idol audition, and as soon as he started singing this I heard Shoshana in the back of my head😅
Look! I’m 65. I served in the USAF all around the world and have heard all kinds of music. I even saw my idol, Marvin Gaye, sing in Belgium right before his death at a small jazz venue....must have been 10 feet from him at a cafe table. BUT! BUT! When she started sanging (no spell check needed) Sanging. I fell on the floor and kicked my legs in the air like a dying 🪳 roach who’d been hit with a shot of Raid! LAWD have mercy! Whew! This ol’ white boy can say he’s heard the best!
This has to be one of those videos that, no matter how long it's been, I just find myself coming back to. This performance is ABSOLUTELY powerful. There's yet to be a single time I watch it that I don't have this whole body and mind experience, the stank face, and being so overcome with emotion that I can't help but smile and get a little misty-eyed. Shoshana has 100% changed the way I experience and perform music, and I LOVE it.
I was her moms dance student for years! I remember when she released Superhero in 2008 and that is all we danced to for months. Shoshana came to so many recitals. Seeing this gives me all the feels :’) AMAZING
starting around 3 mins to THE END, the hairs on my entire body stand on end EVERY time I watch. What an absolutely SHOCKING performance, THE BEST I’ve ever witnessed and showcasing one of the most talented vocalists on earth. This needs to go viral!
OMG! Shoshana, you took me to church, filled me with the spirit, and made me shout! This is the kind of musical experience that gives life! My new favorite singer! Subscribed!
I roll back here every few months, weeks, or just on repeat over and over to feel the incredible performance wash over. What power, beauty, passionate performance. She is damn near jumping out of her shoes as it builds. She was made for the stage. My first intro to Sho' was She Used to Be Mine... and she always sings ALL the way through.
Shoshana will never know.. How many times I come back to this.. How much it soothes my soul and fires it at the same time. Incredible how a voice can just knock you off your feet, hug you, and BLOW YOUR MIND.. who may ever come across this, soak it up, take a moment, press play when you're next ready.. And soak it up again. Music is the best of life, and this is one of the best of music's translators.. ❤
I. I. I don’t know what to say. My mouth dropped so far down I couldn’t feel my face. I don’t know if anyone else felt this, but I got angry. So angry to know that someone got me into my feels so quick. This was not a performance. This was an audition to get into heaven and she got that golden ticket. God, I don’t know what I’m saying. All I know is, this was not human. This was spiritual in an earthly being. My God, this woman is gifted. Period. I’m done. No more words. Thank you. Bye.
Blake Lewis Any chance of you working with Sho again? The two vid I've seen are among my favorites. Also I love you both in your PMJ work. How about it, Shoshana?
It's official, I have watched this video enough so that it will be stuck in my recommended for the rest of my life. (And honestly, I'm not complaining)
Two years later this hits even harder, thank you Shoshana for this incredible performance. This has been the light at the end of a panic attack, the uplift when I’m down, and the spirit when I had none. MAKE IT RAAAAAINN!!
This has to be one of the best live vocals in the history of the world.
I absolutely agree with you. This is from another realm, another reality, the mighty God's took over her body.
It's as good as you say, yet STILL it's nothing compared to the raw power of Foy Vance's original.
@@michaelmemmelaar4937 Hard disagree! 😂 I think she has both emotion and technique in such harmony here, I am in tears every time I watch it.
I love your reply!! Got me laughin with joy!!😂😂😂

I should be. Shaking like ow she did that. 😂
Or worldwide
Have never seen this level of control.
pscheidt me too. Shes a vocal machine
Too much screaming 🙄
@@davematt2002 lol there are many types of voices..just because you dont like a particular voice doesnt mean she is screaming.
Christian Chen there is singing and there is screaming. She’s definitely screaming here.
@@davematt2002 lmao sure vocal coach
For just like, not even a day... maybe an hour, I'd kill to know what it's like to open your mouth and THIS falls out of it. God damn it. BEAST. 🙌
Well, it's been 10 months and I stand by this just the same.
Hey Jamie just once is all I’d ask ! Just to do this ONCE !💯
Feels more like a workout
Agreed! I’d sell my soul and a kidney to sing like this.
Mark Ashby id give mine away !
Whoever edited this turned the audience down LMAO we were SCREECHING at 5:20 onward
But remember all through the band ending it we were silent it was insane.
Good to know bc I thought you all had lost it or were dead! It baffled me how someone could just sit there silently while Sho lived and died on the stage!!!!!!
You can see ppl standing and cheering at @6:19 lol
if i were there i would talk abt this until the day i die i come back to this video all the time
when total commitment to emotion is married to astounding technique, this is the result. Incredible.
when an artist DEMANDS your undivided attention.. this was beautiful..im speechless
Cor. My heart skipped a beat.
hehe

5/5 stars #slaymylife
Dont understand ??? Please explain
The buried you and I under the rest of the people who were deceased from the sheer hot, hot fire that Shoshana brought. ❤️
Lolol I died
my skin got clear
I hate how people say, "The world aint ready for you," especially when they enjoy someone. I'm here to say that the world IS READY for Ms. Shoshana Bean! I, me, we... are, indeed, ready for you, ma'am!!!!!!!!! Now, please excuse me while I go collect my edges left all around my room!
GOD SHE'S SO GOOD and I love the pianists reactions to her starting at like 5:52 he's so into it
Yes. Indeed. They are in sync
That's what music is all about ... not only the audience is enjoying and having fun ... also musicians are, maybe even more.
Rarely do people’s voices give me full body chills. She constantly does this to me. Also, whomever arranged this song is a fucking genius. GENIUS arrangement. Chilled to the bones flawless.
I've watched many incredible performances from extraordinary vocalists like *Whitney, Mariah, Celine, Luciano Pavarotti, Sohyang, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, Andrea Bocelli* etc. *And I can wholeheartedly say that this is one of the greatest performances of all time!* ✨
GarageStudio nah I ain’t go that far to say better than a Whitney performance 🤣 but it was great
True...💕
@@ginovious he said one of. He didn't say that she is better than whitney
Definitely
She can emote better than anyone else!!!!
I just came back from Tara simon where she reviewed her singing. It wasnt this song it was another one. Basically she killed that song but when the comments said we should come over this side and witness this we would be blown away. Those comments were right✋
wow🎷 such talent. I'm definetly investing my time on her now😣 such a beautiful emotional performance where talent meets that emotion❤
We need awareness for this woman and I am now a dedicated fan👏❤
Same
Same here
now tara just did this video and I'm here again!
Same!
If you want emotion check her out singing “she used to be mine”
I've literally watched this performance at least 100 times and still cry. She's so in the moment. She almost goes to another world in this performance. I get emotional when I see a true artist truly showcase their talent and hard work. Unreal.
I can’t stop watching it either
This woman is the most talented vocalist I have ever heard.
That high note was so smooth and beautiful
AranDMaster
Which one of all? Lol
Truthfully!
Crispy!
That note from 0:40 to 6:58 was so smooth and beautiful . . . except the ones where that sounded like a crazed saxophone . . . those had an exquisitely raw beauty that is, quite honestly, otherworldly.

Come on! I just threw my shoe at my iPad! I lost it around 5:30. That is a truly unique voice.
Me too! Threw both my shoes!
Um YES
OMG MAYAAAAAA
OMG IM SO GLAD YOU KNOW WHO SHOSHANA IS! Love you Maya!!!
Mitú 😉
Her RUNS omg
Best cover of Make It Rain i've heard so far. She sang it with all her heart and soul..
6:10 she reached her final form and powered up right here! This is the best rendition I've heard if this song and I wish more people seen this.
Absolutely!!!!
From 5:25 to the end is just mental. And humanly impossible. Wow!
The guy on piano is all of us at 6:00-6:15
I am electrified every time I listen to this. Literally one of the greatest musical performances I have ever listened to. Pure genius.
I love how the piano guy is trying to watch as much as he can of her when she goes off in her trance. Great performance
Still cannot get over this pure talent in 2025!
One year later. Still obsessed with this performance. Wow.
We will never know, but I'm guessing, if Foy Vance was sitting in that front row, when she finished he'd had been in tears. And just like Trent Reznor & Johny Cash, he'd had told Shoshana she now ... owns that song.
yeah no...ummm...foy vance did NOT write that song...it was Ed Sheeran....
Purgitori Darkes - That’s sarcasm, right? Please tell me that’s sarcasm...

Purgitori Darkes we irish tend to be sure about what we do.
@@purgitoridarkes181 Ooops! Wrong!
I can't tell you just how many performances I've watched from true vocalists, and this is right up there amongst the top vocal performances of all time!!!
Whenever I watch this video I have to watch it 8 times in a row
Soul has no color. This white lady put her church hat on and WAILED. I felt that in every depth of my soul.
twistedblktrekie
🛑
twistedblktrekie you couldn’t just enjoy the damn song?
twistedblktrekie Alright, Well do me a favor and upload you singing it in that distinct sound you speak of so I can fully understand what you mean.
She is jewish but thanks for reminding us that white people try to imitate black people and get more props for it
@@twigstwigs2 She didn't intimidate any balck person like the dude just said SOUL HAS NO COLORR
I think this is what is played in heaven. its just gonna be on 24/7 because this right here is heavenly.
I was listening in stunned silence, then tears started flowing and then I was full on sobbing... I don't even know why, what happened to me... I'm still crying now as I'm writing this.
This composer should have a Grammy, Emmy and Tony. Shoshana is always amazing but WOW this arrangement.
Blows the pants off Ed Sheeran's version in my opinion. An amazing cover. The ending was breathtaking 😮
I think even Foy Vance would would give you a massive thumbs up Shoshana. 😍
The passion of Etta James and the the clarity of Dinah Washington.
This is my first time watching a performance by Shoshana. I admit at first I wasn’t all that impressed after listening for 2 minutes. I thought nice voice…kind of raspy but pleasing to the ear.

Looking forward to checking out her other performances.
When i saw that the video was more than 8 minutes, i nearly skipped to the next one. Thank the heavens i didn't. SOHSHANA IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!
My God. He dropped you straight out of Heaven with that voice. Loed have mercy
This performance is a drug for me, I can't stop listening and watching. My vote for Performance of the Year. Love everything about it, even the fashion.
And there it is... the legendary performance
*beautiful dress beautiful hair and BEAUTIFUL voice*
8 minutes of artistic&spiritual roller coaster. Just phenomenal.
I'm trying to be quite in the library but I can't. I almost flipped my table cause I couldn't contain myself!!! YES SHOSHANA, YES!!!!
DAAAAAMN Just died 5 times during this new version of her cover THIS IS AMAZING OMG!! THATS HOW YOU SING THIS SONG #BestCoverEver 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is my most favorite vocal performance ever. OMG. So professional. So into it. So *everything*. I listen to this thing two or three times at least once a week. You give me faith in humanity that there can actually be someone as amazing as you are. My soul thanks you!

So much soul and emotion in her voice. She was made for songs like this one.
i come back and watch this once or twice a week EVERY week since it came out
Holy. Freaking. Whoaaa.. She MURDERED that song, revived it, and killed it all over again... several times. lol.. Good lord... Wow. Just wow.
I keep coming back to this video. Definitely one of the best performances I have ever seen in my whole life. Just WOW Shoshana!
This is RIDICULOUS. I don't even understand how them notes come outta your mouth. Seriously, phenomenal!!! ❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭
Life made, crops growing, acne gone, finally happy. This is PERFECTION
no one is allowed to sing this song after what Sho did. it’s her song now
No one sing this song like foy vance ...
@@balckkghost3476 thanks for saying that. It's true
Yeah - problem is … she has a habit of doing that with most songs she takes on. Utterly love this woman’s beautiful gift to this world.
@@balckkghost3476 Hell yes. As good as Shoshanna is, it's a pale shadow of Foy's original.

She sang her whole face off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what she did is phenomenal. period.
THE PHOENIX HAS CRYSTALLIZED
I love this. She did not leave anything behind. She SANG this song

This is from a black women, she found her soul deep down. You could her the tears drop, and feel the pain. Good job Shoshanna, beautiful.
