@@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

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 🥰💝🎶
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 !
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
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.
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.
@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 .
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.
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 🤩
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.
For me JM Trio cover at The Cross Road Festival 2010 is still the best out of thousands if not millions other covers. But then again it all comes down to each of our personal taste. So yeah, I have my fav and so does everybody else 🥰✌🏼☮
Sounds great to be fair. Ed is very fortunate to have world class musicians at hand and an amazing sound team. I recorded my own little tribute as Bill is one of my biggest influences as a Songwriter. Rest easy my friend and thanks for the music 🙏❤️🎼
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 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.

Can’t deny Ed is a huge talent. He’s worked really hard. Love his collaborations with different genres.
The haunting spareness of his backup players and their perfect timing are fantastic.

This is a beautiful rendition of Bill Wither's classic! Another Ed Sheeran masterpiece!
I never get tired of watching this. So much talent all around.

plus so many people critiquing it harshly just have a gate keeping complex to make them feel like they understand what others simply can’t
This kid is pure talent . He can do anything and own it. Fabulously done ❤️❤️❤️

Best cover of this song I have ever heard. Once I heard that baritone I was in!!!
One of my all time favourites! Brilliant cover! ❤
Impressive. It always surprises me how well he does with the blues

Sadly he is no longer Withers
@@Andy-Bodhi yes..

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.
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.!
Wow.....this really suits his voice. Smooth band and great vocals!
It is rare for me to genuinely like a cover. This one... I love!
Rest in peace Bill Withers, a true legend ❤️🙏🏼
Beautiful performance. ..

And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
One of my favourite songs ever. Ed Sheeran's voice is amazing. He does this song justice.
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!
@@teun294 you’re sad
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.
Will 12q: so true. People tend to make comparisons between performers. Just relax and enjoy. Each artist puts their own spin on a song.
John mayers cover is my favourite. That soulful guitar gets me every time.
fantastic rendition!! The band was top class!
He can sing!!!! Anything & everything!!!!

Right. Lol. He is..

There aren’t many singers who can cover this amazingly. George Michael was one and Ed Sheeran is another ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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

I always loved this with Bill Withers. You are doing an awesome job here Ed. love it Deb.

Love his singing voice he did a great job singing this song.
Its a compliment any time a really good artist covers your song im sure. Well done!
Love this version! I heard the sadness, heartbreaking and wanting her back. All the elements of what I've believe make it its best.

my thoughts exactly! he’s killing it
I first heard this in 1980......instrumental version by grover Washington jnr.....fabulous, Ed does this real justice!👏👏👏
So no one's gonna appreciate the band too, I think they're good
