This is a hate crime against music. Starts in B, half an octave too low, then rises by a semitone at each subsequent verse. Still finishes a tone too low. Breath control so poor that she is Incapable of singing through a whole line. Hideous coarse huffy voice, with heaving quivering vibrato, and loaded with fancy special effects, not one of which is consistent with the original lovely music or enhances it in any way. Vile noise. Atrocious trashing of the original lovely music. A case of ego far greater than musical appreciation.
This song was Mahatma Gandhi,so Favourite song. It has been played every year at the Beating Retreat ceremony . Now the Government wants it dropped. A simple song is being used as a political issue. By the way talking about India.
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me
Ugh I am litterally trying to find a version to play for a funeral. Too many artists think think this should be a song to show off to crowds, when it should be show the heart. You're meant to cry and feel the pain with this wan.
Keep your Premier League, Keep your Champions League, Shove your European Super League. For me growing up as a child no day was more exciting than F.A Cup Final Day.
Exactly the same here since Arsenal beat Liverpool in 1971. Also the day I first heard "You'll Never Walk Alone" but thankfully Charlie George scored late on 😊
I've listened to several renditions of this hymn on UA-cam and this is the best. I love the next-to-last verse: Where is death's sting? Where grave thy victory? I triumph still if thou abide with me. I wish she got to sing all of the verses.
Beautiful song and well sung but really. Miming and supposedly on the roof of the stadium. Really cringe worthy. I just couldn't enjoy it. So over produced. Would have been more poignant in the centre of the pitch in an empty stadium. Sorry👎☹
Very good rendition.. Keep up the good work.. God needs us more than ever in this civid crisis. God bless you and all who made this piece possible to be shared... Prayer to the Holy Spirit (St Augustine) Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy. Amen
Awesome but is she singing on a giant EE logo??

What a beautiful voice!
First time I heard this was when she sang this at the opening ceremony for the London Olympics.
Not the most optimistic hymn for a Cup Final!!!!
Emili sing this at The London Olympics with no musical accompaniement will never be bettered.
It was to honour the victims of the 7/7 attacks. In the US, NBC cut to commercials...
Get on with the football and stop with the silly songs
And it was on 1st Aug, 2020 on my birthday.
Beautiful.
Bring back the Military Band so much more moving.
An Arsenal victory after this rendition. What else can you expect? 🥺😘
Beautifully done!
When she sang it at London 2012 gave me goosebumps
Very emotional and moving this, in memory of all those we lost due to Covid that year. Especially with the empty stadium.
Get down from there!
Voice not powerful enough , box ticking excersize.
On that roof in heels, without a safety harness and without high vis clothing. Do rules not apply to her?
Praise the lord.
Beautiful!!!
Sorry they should go back to the old way The Marine or Guards band playing Abide with me and the fans singing So more powerful

Look up the one by the saint olaf college. Really good
Brilliant
A wonderful tradition
Good grief, what a horrible version. It's just as well she has a nice voice. Also - how is this at the FA Cup Final??
Fantastic Voice
🙏💓👼
Thank you
Performance ON TOP of the stadium 🏟 and they don’t even get any aerial shots... 🤦♂️
Spoilt by that cheap platform she we was standing on
Keep your Premier League, Keep your Champions League, Shove your European Super League. For me growing up as a child no day was more exciting than F.A Cup Final Day.

yessss, 2020 champs, the gunners
Beautiful they still sing this
Fantastic Hymn- praise God father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
When they put the message on the screen I was close to tears after listening to this. Brought home just how many people Covid has taken.
Hold it first, I thought it's Whitney Houston resurrection.

Just beautiful.
Great rendition even better she's a Sunderland supporter ❤️
Beautiful! Please check out my version here: ua-cam.com/video/1PYelFudjAU/v-deo.html
May we forever sing this song at the fa cup final
Not only in FA cup, but in the other sports
Beautiful song and well sung but really. Miming and supposedly on the roof of the stadium. Really cringe worthy. I just couldn't enjoy it. So over produced. Would have been more poignant in the centre of the pitch in an empty stadium. Sorry👎☹
Best rendition of Abide With Me i have ever heard, fantastic voice .
Not a patch on Katherine Jenkins
I like the version she did at the olympics. Was more haunting .
