I am an old codger and was never into taylor swift, but seeing this beautiful young woman singing a georgeous phil collins number changed all that and blew away my prejudices. She sings this with such sensitivity and she really owns it. The song is a tale of obsessive love with a gorgeous melody and this cover has encouraged me to find life and artistry in places I thought there was none. Thanks Phil and Taylor.
What a lovely comment. You may love her albums Folklore and Evermore, if you like this. Listen to the slower songs off those, especially Ivy, Evermore, Champagne Problems (this one especially). As well as the song Safe and Sound by her. You may enjoy
Yes. I'm older too, and just discovering Taylor's wonderful talent during the past few weeks. Others have said that there's a healing quality to Taylor's songs and her voice. I quite agree, and that is so important in these challenging times! ❤
Not enough singers today understand the point of emoting and connecting the notes with the lyrics, with the audience. Many can sing the notes, but that connection isn't there in a live performance. Bette Midler commented on this a few years back. Swift gets that and I think that's a huge part of the reason why she has had such a loyal fan following. She understands that peforming isn't just about who is on stage. It's about making that emotional connection with your audience.
yep agree the way she performs and her lyrics resonates with millions of people worldwide is one of the reasons she's still at the top of the music industry and why she's getting better as the years go on
There's something about the combo of Taylor's voice and an 80s-sounding synth that hits different. It suits her well, which is why I love songs like Bigger Than The Whole Sky, Don't You, and You Are In Love.
I'd be honored if some fans of Taylor's 1989 era would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLANK SPACE and NEW ROMANTICS on my YT channel in tribute to the greatest album and tour of the '010s decade. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks & keep on swifting.
I am a life long Phil Collins fan and her version brought tear to my eye. She delivered an emotional element to this song that I hadn’t felt since the first time I heard it from Phil. Thank you Taylor!
ballads and slow-tempo songs really and perfectly compliment her voice. I don't understand why people say that she can't sing because having a high or rare vocal range isn't the only basis of whether someone can or cannot sing.
Exactly, take a look at Adele and Ariana Grande. Both have completely different vocal ranges but both can sing. Like I would know cause they both sound great to me. There’s actual people who can’t sing and those are the ones who have horrible pitch and control and don’t have a trained ear and need lots of autotune.

Laura you forgot another one, she did 6 songs!!! Most of the time they only did 2 songs, except maybe Ari she did 4. And Taylor didn’t flew to UK, the BBC come to her to US. I mean only Taylor can do that.. 🤷🏻♀️
@@artsyputsy actually they did it for miley too! BBC has to come to her and to her house and she did Malibu, younger now, party in the usa, see you again and i think one cover...
Dear Taylor I am 66, twice your age. I felt you in Back to December and ìn Raindrops on my guitar also on Doubt with Mary J Blige. Your rendition of Phil Collins song Can't stop loving you isexquisite. I love you so much. You have my vote on Travis
Then she could try other songs by Leo Sayer, the original singer of this song. In case you don't know, Phil Collins's version is a cover of the original by Leo Sayer in 1978. She could try : - "When I Need You" which was previously covered by Julio Iglesias. This is the most famous song by Leo Sayer that became hit in mid 1970s. That song may fit to current situation when we are all supposed to stay home.
You’re right on the history. In this case she takes it to another level and it’s beautiful and it’s so emotional that leaves heartbreaking individuals wanting to hear more of her. Cause it’s that passionate from the ❤️
So you're leavin' In the mornin' On the early train Well, I could say everything's all right And I could pretend and say goodbye Got your ticket Got your suitcase Got your leaving smile Though I could say that's the way it goes And I could pretend you won't know That I was lying 'Cause I can't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you No, I won't stop loving you Why should I? We took a taxi To the station Not a word was said And I saw you walk across the road For maybe the last time, I don't know Feeling humble Heard a rumble on the railway track And when I hear the whistle blow I'll walk away and you won't know That I'll be crying 'Cause I can't stop loving you No, I can't stop loving you No, I won't stop loving you Why should I? I'll always be here by your side (Why, why, why?) I never wanted to say goodbye (Why even try?) I'm always here if you change Change your mind So you're leavin' In the mornin' On the early train Well, I could say everything's alright And I could pretend and say goodbye But that would be lying 'Cause I can't stop loving you (can't stop loving you) No, I can't stop loving you (I won't stop loving you) No, I won't stop loving you Why should I? (Why should I even try?) 'Cause I can't stop loving you (can't stop loving you) No, I can't stop loving you (won't stop loving you) No, I won't stop loving you Why should I? Why should I? (Tell me, why?) Why should I even try?
The tune, rhythm and way of "why should i" made my heart feel the question... its so beautiful.. the melody of this version made me feel the emotion i shouldn't be feeling.. im sat on my sofa watching a movie and playing this ..... but that tune puts me in a situation im not in
Even if she's not the most "skilled" singer in the world in terms of actual technique and range, but one must admit: just simply the sound and tone of her voice is indescribably gorgeous in a way that just melts you down to a giant ass puddle. She just has such an attractive and audibly pleasing voice that one could listen to all day. So yeah, sure, someone like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey can pull off more "technical" skill than Taylor and yet I would still find myself rather listening to Taylor all day instead of them because the sound of her voice is just more pleasurable to my ear (it's beautiful, rich, velvety, smooth, and always consistently containing a special blend of authentic depth & emotion). When I hear her sing, it's like every muscle in my body just finally relaxes and all my worries get swept away until the song is over. Not many other artists (especially current artists) have been able to have such an effect on me so yeah, I don't know, I just think it's really something special. Every word she sings just always feels raw, genuine, & honest to her own emotions instead of just being some manufactured BS like most songs we hear these days. All in all - like her or not, but people should at least respect her for being a legitimate artist because that's something that the mainstream music of this generation is direly lacking.
I suggest you watch "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions," where she sang songs from her eighth album "folklore" in such a gentle way, sounds so good and relaxing. She also explains the meaning behind each of them.
The way she sings now is way better than back in the day. In the past her voice, was too high pitched for my liking and songs like Shake it off were like casual torture, lol. Her later works sound wonderful and the lyrics are also beautiful. Hopefully she stays this way 🙂
@@ncamara670 her vocals are less squeak and pitchy since her vocals are really improvd and mature which is why i enjoy somoe of the TV version more like fearless TV
@@ncamara670 Right??? Her low voice is by far my favorite of any other female singer. I used to not even realize how low she goes in some of her songs until I tried covering them and was like "how the fuck does she sing this deep?? and have it still sound feminine?" A good example is Wildest Dreams. Try singing the verses of that song, and then try singing the chorus. It's a hell of a lot more range than one might think, at least for me lol. Ugh omg also in Anti-Hero, the final time she says "everybody agrees, everybody agrees" in the bridge towards the end of the song in a super low register... shiiiiiiit it sounds so fucking intoxicating lmao like wtf 😂
I just closed my eyes listening to this stunning cover and I felt like I am in another world where everything is perfect, where is no pain, but only pure love. I wish I could live there.. ❤️ Please be kind to each other and have an amazing day ☀️

@@antonynation9954 She specifically said she was covering the great Phil Collins here. It's definitely a Phil Collins song, and I'm sure Mr. Sayer is very proud of how well Phil made this song his own.
This is a surprisingly sophisticated and nuanced vocal performance, one of the best I've heard Taylor give. There is nowhere to hide here- the background music and vocals are turned very low, they might as well not be there at all. Plus since it's not her song I'm impressed by how she gives just the right touch of emotion to it. Not too sweet, not too sad.
It's the good thing about her. She's not the rangiest-most virtuouso singer, but she can make you feel the lyrics. She could sing Gangnam Style and still make it feel like some trascendental sh*t
This great cover she did on tour in '15 (link at the end of my comment) was a gift to me in more ways than one: she introduced me to Mary J. Blige, the Godmother of hip-hop(a genre I hadn't followed up 'til then) Tay admits "it's absolutley foolish to try to sing a Mary J. Blige song. 'cause she's the greatest singer that ever lived", but Tay does a good job of it🙏 And she shared with 20,000 of her fans (and now 3.6 million viewers of the video!) the fact that she experienced doubt every single day, and had accepted the fact that she always would. Hearing that the most loved person on Earth would feel the doubts like most of us do brought me to tears. She has been such a healing, supportive influence in my life, and I will love her forever for that💖 ua-cam.com/video/GZ0474w66uw/v-deo.html
To be a good singer you don’t have to sound like Ariana grande or people on reality singing shows. Tone and the way it comes across with feeling matters
Kim Cardoso agreed, it's hard to describe, but you know it when you hear it...

This is true!!! I love Ari's songs but it seems that i can't feel the emotions in her songs. Whenever i listen to Taylor, i just know what feelings she wants me to feel.
Extraordinary... Jesus. Her soft voice, her facial expression and her lookin at the camera like that.... she could also be an actress. It feels like a lullaby before going to bed
This young lady is really good and I agree with Phil she really does nail it ,she’s worth all the money she earns.very seldom does a rare talent such as hers come along,and that’s from a guy who’s a tad older than the great Phil Collins.
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE! I am 55 and I have felt the same way about Taylor for a while. my daughter became obsessed with Taylor when she was 7 years old,that is what got my attention. The more I watched and learned what a wholesome really genuine person she was I really fell in love with her and her music.Someone on here said feelings matter and they really do.She is an epic story teller through her music and I just love it all so much. I think my lucky stars we got the chance to meet her in 2015.
Taylor went from being "the girl with the breakup songs" to having one of the most beautiful voices out there and amazing lyrics ...aka from artist of the year to artist of the decade :P
One of those times when a cover version makes the song everything the song should ever have been. Every line of this song sung by Swift is a punch in the heart.
Agree. she honestly used to be pretty bad. When she sang "I can sing" on that one song, she really couldn't. Not in tune anyways. And while she's still not exactly Celine Dion she can definitely can sing now and actually has a really amazing low voice
@Andy Webster "People love to explain away a woman's success in the music industry" - TS. That contends the first part of your comment pretty well. As for her musical abilities, she's a fantastic songwriter who has written all of her own music since the age of 12. She wrote an entire album by herself at the age of 18. One of her songs is considered one of the greatest songs of the 21st Century. She plays 4 different instruments. The fact that you think she's an "average" musician goes to show that you know nothing about her. She's a goddamn musical prodigy.
This is honestly the best I have ever heard her voice sound. This is the best song I have ever heard her sing. Period. This should definitely be on an album. She should sing more love songs like this. #mesmerising. This is coming from one of the biggest Swifties in the world. Taylor please get this on an album!
I grew up listening to Phil Collins and Genesis because Phil was my moms favorite singer. And now my favorite singer is singing one of his songs. I loved this cover it fit her voice perfectly and she did amazing.
She could be an adult contemporary master. She did a whole show with Def Leppard when she was a teenager. Her mom influenced her a lot and she has a lot of fans that age.
@Richard Christopher exactly what is wrong with you that you can't let people just enjoy things? Listening to that song brings back a lot of memories from my childhood so it was nice to hear again.
OMG YESSSSSS i was thinking like “where did i heard this sound, it is so familiar??” since don’t you came out now that i’ve seen your comment i am so happy that someone thinks the same with me🙏🏻 i was like “is it the archer or some 80s song?”😆
It sounds like she wrote this song the whole time. It is shown that Taylor has successfully done a great job with representing the meaning of Phil's masterpiece. She is pure talented!
Such a beautiful voice, she absolutely nails it. Lovely to hear it.

she made it her own fr 😭
This version killed the original
Richard Christopher if you’re a teacher you should be acting professional you crude nut. you’re too old to be acting that way
The usual BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge set up: dark room, band, singer
Taylor's set up:
23 carpets
8 musicians in total
7 instruments
1 Taylor
1 fancy panorama view
fancy lights
Laura you forgot another one, she did 6 songs!!! Most of the time they only did 2 songs, except maybe Ari she did 4.
And Taylor didn’t flew to UK, the BBC come to her to US. I mean only Taylor can do that.. 🤷🏻♀️
ArtsyPutsy SHE IS TAYLOR SWIFT. 😎
Laura she’s in NY, she couldn’t go to London so they brought BBC1 to her 🤣
That's a legend!
@@artsyputsy actually they did it for miley too!
BBC has to come to her and to her house and she did Malibu, younger now, party in the usa, see you again and i think one cover...
I'm in love with this. Just discovered Taylor Swift when her Midnights Album came out. Lots to catch up on. She's amazing.
Dear Taylor I am 66, twice your age. I felt you in Back to December and ìn Raindrops on my guitar also on Doubt with Mary J Blige. Your rendition of Phil Collins song Can't stop loving you isexquisite. I love you so much. You have my vote on Travis
Every song should be rerecorded with Taylor's voice
Ikr 😂❤️
Rett Bull agree!!!!!
Then she could try other songs by Leo Sayer, the original singer of this song. In case you don't know, Phil Collins's version is a cover of the original by Leo Sayer in 1978.
She could try :
- "When I Need You" which was previously covered by Julio Iglesias. This is the most famous song by Leo Sayer that became hit in mid 1970s. That song may fit to current situation when we are all supposed to stay home.
You’re right on the history. In this case she takes it to another level and it’s beautiful and it’s so emotional that leaves heartbreaking individuals wanting to hear more of her. Cause it’s that passionate from the ❤️
@@lexsoft3969 It is not original from Leo Sayer but from White Horse one year before him
She makes this sound like HER song, I'm speechless.
Stunning version of this song. Wow! What a voice! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
So you're leavin'
In the mornin'
On the early train
Well, I could say everything's all right
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
Though I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend you won't know
That I was lying
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We took a taxi
To the station
Not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don't know
Feeling humble
Heard a rumble on the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
I'll always be here by your side
(Why, why, why?)
I never wanted to say goodbye
(Why even try?)
I'm always here if you change
Change your mind
So you're leavin'
In the mornin'
On the early train
Well, I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying
'Cause I can't stop loving you (can't stop loving you)
No, I can't stop loving you (I won't stop loving you)
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I? (Why should I even try?)
'Cause I can't stop loving you (can't stop loving you)
No, I can't stop loving you (won't stop loving you)
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Why should I? (Tell me, why?)
Why should I even try?
*Nashville donut* You Are The Best^^
Thank you so much for this. I am deeply grateful.
❤
Thank you. Even reading the words gave me chills. I listen to this at least once a day
🫶
she really can sing EVERYTHING.
It's all in her self belief.
Nah. I'm a Swiftie but I'm no delusional like this. She slay acoustic performances if a song is fitted inside her vocal range.
No not everything this sounds like a lot of what she does and it's good but not everything come on
@@LawrenceVengeance Yeah I swear this kind of songs fits her vocals, how I wish she could add more vibrato she'll be the best 💓💓
@@dna8557 she could but her biggest vocal flaw, prone to strain, keeps her from doing it.
You can't produce vibrato with strains
This is proof of how talented Taylor Swift can be and I love the original, but omg she has some talent
Is.
Taylor Swift is soooooooo talented!!!! That's why I love her!!!!!
this is what devastating breakup look like iykyk
The tune, rhythm and way of "why should i" made my heart feel the question... its so beautiful.. the melody of this version made me feel the emotion i shouldn't be feeling.. im sat on my sofa watching a movie and playing this ..... but that tune puts me in a situation im not in
She’s so good at evocating emotion, and her voice always me feel like I’m inside a dream... so smooth
a concept: Taylor re-recording all of her albums in THIS PERFECT ACOUSTIC MANNER
I'm overwhelmed at the thought
King of my heart acoustic... epic
Becoz of her old master tapes being sold to another publisher, she recently has said she'd consider re recording her songs afresh.
Even if she's not the most "skilled" singer in the world in terms of actual technique and range, but one must admit: just simply the sound and tone of her voice is indescribably gorgeous in a way that just melts you down to a giant ass puddle. She just has such an attractive and audibly pleasing voice that one could listen to all day. So yeah, sure, someone like Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey can pull off more "technical" skill than Taylor and yet I would still find myself rather listening to Taylor all day instead of them because the sound of her voice is just more pleasurable to my ear (it's beautiful, rich, velvety, smooth, and always consistently containing a special blend of authentic depth & emotion). When I hear her sing, it's like every muscle in my body just finally relaxes and all my worries get swept away until the song is over. Not many other artists (especially current artists) have been able to have such an effect on me so yeah, I don't know, I just think it's really something special. Every word she sings just always feels raw, genuine, & honest to her own emotions instead of just being some manufactured BS like most songs we hear these days. All in all - like her or not, but people should at least respect her for being a legitimate artist because that's something that the mainstream music of this generation is direly lacking.
I suggest you watch "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions," where she sang songs from her eighth album "folklore" in such a gentle way, sounds so good and relaxing. She also explains the meaning behind each of them.
This is the best comment. I agree with u 100%. Taylor is theraphy!
The way she sings now is way better than back in the day. In the past her voice, was too high pitched for my liking and songs like Shake it off were like casual torture, lol. Her later works sound wonderful and the lyrics are also beautiful. Hopefully she stays this way 🙂
@@ncamara670 her vocals are less squeak and pitchy since her vocals are really improvd and mature which is why i enjoy somoe of the TV version more like fearless TV
@@ncamara670 Right??? Her low voice is by far my favorite of any other female singer. I used to not even realize how low she goes in some of her songs until I tried covering them and was like "how the fuck does she sing this deep?? and have it still sound feminine?" A good example is Wildest Dreams. Try singing the verses of that song, and then try singing the chorus. It's a hell of a lot more range than one might think, at least for me lol. Ugh omg also in Anti-Hero, the final time she says "everybody agrees, everybody agrees" in the bridge towards the end of the song in a super low register... shiiiiiiit it sounds so fucking intoxicating lmao like wtf 😂
Never get tired of this. On repeat.
I just closed my eyes listening to this stunning cover and I felt like I am in another world where everything is perfect, where is no pain, but only pure love. I wish I could live there.. ❤️ Please be kind to each other and have an amazing day ☀️
same 😍
What a beautiful comment! Have an amazing day as well
I did it too!
Let's All Change the World.....Let's Spread Kindness & Love Everyday and Over Take The World From The Evil That Keeps Lurking It's Ugliness Too Often!!!!
Ece B ..brought tears to my eyes..so beautiful💯❤️❤️
this is how you do a cover on bbc radio, no sheet lyrics and she actually felt what she was singing, she’s doing better than she ever has!!
Wonderful experience
Taylor's rendition is just beautifully calming and even majical with an ethereal touch.
Taylors rendition is sensitive to the lyrics. Soft with great inflection. Poetry to music. Beautiful.
Taylor Swift singing a Phil Collins song? Never knew I needed this in my life 😍😍😍😍. Pure perfection and so fitting for the era 💖
flo 💕💕💕
It isn't a Phil Collins song. It's a Leo Sayer song Phil covered.
@@antonynation9954 She specifically said she was covering the great Phil Collins here. It's definitely a Phil Collins song, and I'm sure Mr. Sayer is very proud of how well Phil made this song his own.
Hoping for an entire album of covers like this by Taylor Swift.
💞💗💞
Amen to that!
Freddy Perales YES
Freddy Perales ua-cam.com/video/MzRBCwuzgqw/v-deo.html
Yes. She needs to do the first cut is the deepest.
Why is this song such a moment rn😢😭
Softly like a spring rain the painful tears drop as she unfolds a breaking heart. TS is gifted beyond the ages.
This is a surprisingly sophisticated and nuanced vocal performance, one of the best I've heard Taylor give. There is nowhere to hide here- the background music and vocals are turned very low, they might as well not be there at all. Plus since it's not her song I'm impressed by how she gives just the right touch of emotion to it. Not too sweet, not too sad.
It's the good thing about her. She's not the rangiest-most virtuouso singer, but she can make you feel the lyrics. She could sing Gangnam Style and still make it feel like some trascendental sh*t
Did you see the top comment? Other folks agree with you, including me! :)
@@migueltoledo4404 There's really something unique about her voice.
@@migueltoledo4404 yes
Yes but not surprisingly
I can’t stop loving Taylor Swift
So true
Me neither, it’s a beautiful curse
🌹💐💘🕵️👌
I know how you feel
Me too a true love
Im in love, that's such an amazing song cover
This great cover she did on tour in '15 (link at the end of my comment) was a gift to me in more ways than one: she introduced me to Mary J. Blige, the Godmother of hip-hop(a genre I hadn't followed up 'til then) Tay admits "it's absolutley foolish to try to sing a Mary J. Blige song. 'cause she's the greatest singer that ever lived", but Tay does a good job of it🙏 And she shared with 20,000 of her fans (and now 3.6 million viewers of the video!) the fact that she experienced doubt every single day, and had accepted the fact that she always would. Hearing that the most loved person on Earth would feel the doubts like most of us do brought me to tears. She has been such a healing, supportive influence in my life, and I will love her forever for that💖 ua-cam.com/video/GZ0474w66uw/v-deo.html
This is a masterclass in a form of a cover! Taylor always sings covers like she wrote them
To be a good singer you don’t have to sound like Ariana grande or people on reality singing shows. Tone and the way it comes across with feeling matters
Kim Cardoso agreed, it's hard to describe, but you know it when you hear it... I'd be honored if some Taylor Swift & Phil Collins fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of NEW ROMANTICS and AGAINST ALL ODDS on my YT channel in tribute to these songwriting legends from 2 different musical generations. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks & keep on swifting.
Ariana has some touching songs too!! you need to calm down.
Gravitas
This is true!!! I love Ari's songs but it seems that i can't feel the emotions in her songs. Whenever i listen to Taylor, i just know what feelings she wants me to feel.
@@xoxoxo6020 She always tries to sound breathy and sexy, though! It's so annoying and it detracts from what are supposed to be emotional lyrics.
Extraordinary... Jesus. Her soft voice, her facial expression and her lookin at the camera like that.... she could also be an actress. It feels like a lullaby before going to bed
The best live performance of hers I have ever heard. Most impressive.
I love how she does the very end of the song
This young lady is really good and I agree with Phil she really does nail it ,she’s worth all the money she earns.very seldom does a rare talent such as hers come along,and that’s from a guy who’s a tad older than the great Phil Collins.
💕
I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE! I am 55 and I have felt the same way about Taylor for a while. my daughter became obsessed with Taylor when she was 7 years old,that is what got my attention. The more I watched and learned what a wholesome really genuine person she was I really fell in love with her and her music.Someone on here said feelings matter and they really do.She is an epic story teller through her music and I just love it all so much. I think my lucky stars we got the chance to meet her in 2015.

♥️♥️♥️
This sound would have perfectly fit with the rest of her songs in the album!
“Remember, anyone can love you when the Sun is shining. In the storms is where you learn who truly cares for you.”
This is so magical , the certain warmth in her voice is just so gorgeous
Taylor went from being "the girl with the breakup songs" to having one of the most beautiful voices out there and amazing lyrics ...aka from artist of the year to artist of the decade :P
Although this is technically a breakup song.
thaler67 yeah but it’s not her song so the haters have no problem with that
Her breakthrough singles were not even breakup songs. They are teenage crush songs. "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me."
She sings it as if's her own story and as if she wrote it!!! Really beautiful and a big compliment to Taylor.
The fact that lately she kind of has this 80s vibe to her production put together with the era of this song is everything!
Annamarie Sieberns I agree! I cant stop listening to Lover song because it seems like an OST of an old movie.
I can't help listening and watching this video over and over. One of the best cover of this classic I ever heard. Love the way Taylor performs it.
One of those times when a cover version makes the song everything the song should ever have been. Every line of this song sung by Swift is a punch in the heart.
She has improved so much vocally
👏👏👏👏
Agreed! Cant wait for her to redo her masters!!!
blake ashley 💯 she must have had good vocal training. I love when singers are still doing that - it shows they care 😂
Agree. she honestly used to be pretty bad. When she sang "I can sing" on that one song, she really couldn't. Not in tune anyways. And while she's still not exactly Celine Dion she can definitely can sing now and actually has a really amazing low voice
@@PlumbPitiful ive never heard her say "i can sing" in a song. Which song was this?
blake ashley She isn’t Sia or Beyoncé. But her voice has this intangible quality. She conveys emotions through her voice so well.
Everything she sings turns into magic. One of the best human beings on earth.
Salvatore Tota Well it’s not magic but she is a wonderful human being
I ❤ her
@Andy Webster You obviously don't know anything about her.
Andy Webster she is a writer and producer on her album, other artist also have producers, what have u been smoking ?
@Andy Webster "People love to explain away a woman's success in the music industry" - TS. That contends the first part of your comment pretty well.
As for her musical abilities, she's a fantastic songwriter who has written all of her own music since the age of 12. She wrote an entire album by herself at the age of 18. One of her songs is considered one of the greatest songs of the 21st Century. She plays 4 different instruments.
The fact that you think she's an "average" musician goes to show that you know nothing about her. She's a goddamn musical prodigy.
As someone who is a big fan of Both Taylor & Phil, She has just taken this song to another level. And gosh she's beautiful 💘
This is honestly the best I have ever heard her voice sound. This is the best song I have ever heard her sing. Period. This should definitely be on an album. She should sing more love songs like this. #mesmerising. This is coming from one of the biggest Swifties in the world. Taylor please get this on an album!
The feelings she puts on this performance. Like... I can't.
You can't what
It amazes me. I just couldn’t put it into proper words 😂
Joe Smith it amazes me! I just couldn’t put it into proper words 😂
Mariana Marins ua-cam.com/video/MzRBCwuzgqw/v-deo.html
Riiiight???
She has one of the most beautiful voices out there, and the way she uses it she touches your heart like no one can.
I'm a big Phil Collins fan and if I were him I'd be really happy to hear this rendition !
The way Phil wanted this song to sound. Thanks for this.
Those 4 dislikes are Scott, Scooter, Kanye and Kim
Lemuel Aaron Gonzales five now, maybe Justin Bieber just joined the chat😂
😂😂😂😂
Demi Lovato join the chat 😊
Haha😂
A four of a kind of mental health issues....Beiber is the Joker🃏🃏🃏🃏
I grew up listening to Phil Collins and Genesis because Phil was my moms favorite singer. And now my favorite singer is singing one of his songs. I loved this cover it fit her voice perfectly and she did amazing.
She could be an adult contemporary master. She did a whole show with Def Leppard when she was a teenager. Her mom influenced her a lot and she has a lot of fans that age.
Phil has lots of songs she could song.
Catrina Berringer SAMEEEE 😭😭😭 too too goood
@Richard Christopher exactly what is wrong with you that you can't let people just enjoy things? Listening to that song brings back a lot of memories from my childhood so it was nice to hear again.
@Richard Christopher then go ahead and be a miserable person. Doesn't hurt me any.
I keep coming back to this cover, she has done it so beautifully!!
i know it’s extremely unlikely but i’m still holding out hope that one day she’ll drop this on spotify 💔
Omg, how anyone can hate taylor, she's perfect 😭😭😭💖💖
iles moussaoui your pp ❤️❤️
@@vendita2 💖
Most of the haters are actually jealous of her success because there is no reason to hate someone you don't know.
@@telegnes4500 yes, u are right
That's because she's perfect
is it just me or whatttt but this really sounds like Don't You Taylor's version 🥺🥺🥺
OMG YESSSSSS i was thinking like “where did i heard this sound, it is so familiar??” since don’t you came out now that i’ve seen your comment i am so happy that someone thinks the same with me🙏🏻 i was like “is it the archer or some 80s song?”😆
you're right! that song is like "90's - 2000's vibes"
yessssssssss i was shooketh cuz i could not agree more
Omgg
yes thank you!!! when I heard Don't You I was wondering why it sounded so familiar. this explains why I love that song so much!!
Her voice singing sad songs always makes me cry.
Bigger than the whole sky reminded me of this cover 💔
me too 😢
It sounds like she wrote this song the whole time. It is shown that Taylor has successfully done a great job with representing the meaning of Phil's masterpiece. She is pure talented!
This is a Billy Nicholls masterpiece sung originally by Leo Sayer. Phil just did a cover like Swift
@@suejanemcclung9137 the information you put here is truly helpful, i will use it as a reference. Thank you so much. ♥️
