I have been enthralled by Chris Cornell's entrancing vocals and emotion that he brings into his song writing and performances. But this time, I had to see how he fell into a cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U". The messaging is deep, which is why I chose to couple this with a message about mental health and our sponsor today, BetterHelp.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Cornell performing "Nothing Compares 2 U" for the first time.

#ChrisCornell #Reaction #TheCharismaticVoice
-------------
We must remember Chris was a drug addict and alcoholic who relapsed. Conventional therapy's don't normally work for us. So while I'm glad you focused on mental health which is so important. It's worth adding AA and NA are there as well for those suffering from the disease of addiction.
This is a very valid and fair point. Thank you, Zach.
You nov this at a fact?
@@henrikbas1 Not sure what you are asking if I know as a fact. I will state the facts though. 1. Chris was a drug addict.that relapsed 2. 12 Step programs overwhelmingly.have.the highest success rate for alcoholic's and drug addicts. Don't take my word for it though. Do some research, and you'll find what I'm saying to be truth.
@@zachwalraven have you evidens for that ?
Good point Zach. I find it interesting how society separates alcohol and drugs, when alcohol is a drug, just a legal one.
My wife loves this song and I was able to sing it for her as she lay in my arms and peacefully passed away from kidney disease. After a decade of pain, she is finally at peace , with no more pain. She was the most beautiful soul and she absolutely loved this version of the song. RIP my love Jan. 2, 2022
😪...so sorry for your loss. I'm really am. Peace.
God Bless you and your late wife Jay. You will meet again one day.
💔❤️
We never know someone else’s walk. I see you. Peace to you.
Wow... I'm so sorry Prayers to you and your family 😢
I'm hoping for a reaction of Temple of the Dog "Say Hello to Heaven"
That song and shadow on the sun are my two favorite by him.
Yesss
THIS
I concur! My favorite Temple of the Dog song ever.
Me too, the live 1991 performance is incredible
The day Chris Cornell died was a giant loss to the music world. He was one of the greatest singers of the last 40 years. He left a giant hole.
Greatest singer singer since Elvis Presley
@@michaelnielsen7050 stop it… Layne exists
Yep, a black hole, son
@@johnheath86 I see what you did right there 😆
I don’t feel like he took his on life neither do I feel like Chester did either😢. I hope they’re together rocking it in a peaceful place tho.
This man's voice completely shatters my heart. Always has💔
There are singers who would give their left leg to have a voice like this. He makes it sound so effortless
RIP Chris. For me, the greatest rock vocalist ever. Such a tragedy.
Just behind Freddy mercury
Chris was murdered. He knew too much.
The cabal will go down, it's happening now.
@@alostdecade6057 na, Chris could get tones Freddy wouldn’t be able to do, he could manage his voice in the way he wanted
and i was so mad at him, he had it all, the talent, the looks, a beautiful wife and kids, i think his finances were fine too, so wtf killing your self, i don t understand, but i heard he took medication against his anxieties, with sideeffect that you don t care about living, so sad
oh for real, that voice was just so powerful, hurts to listen to him now
My wife of 29 years passed away a few months ago. This song brought all those emotions back up, I just bawled through the whole thing.
I feel you man. My fiance and mother of my daughter passed away in December. I have let more than a few tears flow to this since. Best of luck in your journey forward.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences to you and yours on your loss. Stay strong and speak out when you feel the need to.
Sorry for your loss.
Oh, I’m so sorry!
When I heard Chris do this version I had a new appreciation of the song. With all due respect to Sinead, Chris' version touches my soul.
Same here.
This is Chris Cornells song forever now. No one will ever do a better cover version!
Since I want to keep the suggestion separate, me again. Losing Chris Cornell was just an absolute body blow to music. Having a huge back catalog to go back and listen to him is amazing, but we’ll never hear any new ideas, no more live performances, a talent gone too soon. It’s crushing.
Amazing performance 🖤🤟🏼
It's not just Chris, there are tons of musicians that are gone now.
Andrew Wood, Mother Love Bone OD
Kurt Cobain, Nirvana suicide
Layne Staley, Alice in Chains OD
Mike Starr, Alice in Chains OD
Scott Weiland, Stone Temple Pilots OD
Kristen Pfaff, Janitor Joe OD
Stefanie Sargent, 7 Year Bitch choked to death after partying hard like Hendrix
Mia Zapata, The Gits raped and murdered on the street in 1993.
Wendy O. Williams, Plasmatics suicide
Doug Hopkins, The Gin Blossoms suicide
Chris Acland, Lush suicide
Jason Thirsk, Pennywise suicide
Eldon Hoke, a.k.a. "El Duce" suicide
Michael Hutchence, INXS believed to have died accidentally of autoerotic asphyxiation.
@@douglascampbell9809 the vid is on Chris Cornell, so I singled him out. I get your meaning though. The list is far too long to mention them all by name. I could add Chester Bennington and Amy Winehouse to that list too. Sadly, the list just in music is far too big. That doesn’t include other artists like writers or other giants in their field, like Alan Turing. Imagine where we’d be if Alan Turing had lived a long life. Every artist deserves a mention somewhere, but the tragedies are on too grand of a scale to do them justice in a UA-cam comment.
i normally don't care. but he left family. a young daughter. what a punk bitch way to go. there is no fixing it. dad is gone. to do that....he musthave been hurting big. and ok, but the heroin
@@tonyb7615 you need to do some research before you slander a dead man, Chris didn't do heroin, read the autopsy results, very little drugs were found in his system, therapeutic levels of sleeping pills that's all. He was a tortured man.
Chris Cornell's version of Patience is the one that gets me the most. The music video showing all the pictures of him with his daughter mixed with that voice, it's basically impossible to not cry.
heard the song, and love it!! havent seen the video.. i need to check it out
Went and checked it out. Thanks for tuning me in to that, my dude.
This song (Nothing Compares 2 U) guts me every time I hear it, but I agree, his version of Patience, coupled with its video is … hard. Chris’ death hurt me much harder than I expected.
Yes I love that one too !!
Vocals are outstanding. Unfortunately the arrangement isn't so good. If Chris had done the arrangement it would have been perfect.
One of my favorite Cornell moments was his cover of “One”. When he sang the Metallica “One” lyrics and played the U2 “One” music. Crazy!!
Yep, it is stunning.
I have no idea how many times I had listened to Metallicas version and just jammed out everytime. Now, after hearing Chris Cornells version, I'm sick to my stomach. His version is so powerful and heart breaking.
Well damn Huckleberry! You've sent me down a rabbit hole...
Woah.. I had no idea about all these covers. I'll have to check out this version of... uh... "Two"?
It is pure brilliance from a genius.
The yodel is exactly what it feels like when you're trying to talk but you're getting choked up and begin to cry. I'm pretty sure that's what Chris was going for hear. God I miss him.
Only a cello can convey enough sorrow to have been paired with Chris on this song. 😭😭
Miss you, Chris.
His death was the only time I cried over the death of a musical artist. His brilliant light and his amazing talent are deeply missed. Nothing compares to you Chris. RIP.
His was the second for me. Kurt was the first.
for me it was robin williams.
I was more mad than sad at Chris' suicide. It's not logical, but emotions rarely are. It was such a waste of talent, not to mention all the people he left behind, hurt and sad and wondering why. I'd played a few Soundgarden songs in various local bands or just in jam sessions, but I don't anymore since Chris killed himself. It doesn't feel right.
I cried when I heard Dimebag Darrell was murdered. I'd seen Pantera twice, once in 1999 opening for Sabbath and once in 2001, and he was so much fun to watch, so great to listen to live. He clearly loved playing for the fans; his joy was infectious. His death hit me like a ton of bricks.
i didnt cry, but thrash metal will never be the same. jeff haneman, slayer, died from flesh eating bacteria.
@@tonyb7615 I'm glad I saw Slayer with Jeff in early 2007, though that was easily one of the worst concerts I've been to.
Some of the songs Chris did are so haunting now that he's gone. Lyrics like "no one sings like you anymore", "And he hurt so bad like a soul breakin', but he never said nothing to me", "the sky was your playground, but the cold ground was your bed", and really this whole song. Chris was a force of nature. And you're so right about mental health. If you're in those dark times, just don't give up. Those dark times show us who we are. So please hang in there, and get the help you need. Thank you for your reaction, and for giving me an excuse to hear Chris sing this song one more time. RIP brother
Right??? And damn, Like a Stone and Fell on Black Days are simply heartbreaking, listening to them now... Miss him so, so much.
The first time I listened to Audioslave's debut after he was gone when the chorus of "Shadow of the Sun" hit
And I can tell you why
People die alone
I lost it.
As a grown man, i am not embarrassed to say this performance brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. I was lucky enough to see Chris play with Soundgarden and on his solo tour for Higher Truth with my son. Seeing him in such a small venue only a few rows from the stage was unforgettable and I am so glad to have shared it with my son. Thank you Chris!
If you don't tear up for it, you are not human lol.
I cried for like 20 minutes on my way home from work today cause of this song
Saw him three times with soundgarden . I get so sad whenever I think about him being gone
❤
I'm not one who shows a lot of emotion, and I rarely shed a tear. I cannot listen to Chris' version of this song without crying. It's heartbreaking. Your analysis was spot on, this isn't about technique, it's about emotion, and Cornell pours it out here. Thanks Elizabeth! Alway enjoy your content!
I feel this way with pretty much every acoustic song Chris has done. Just such an amazing talent. He's the one artist I wish I could bring back more than anything.
I'm the same way and feel this 💯. Chris will always be my favorite vocalist and his death impacted me extremely hard. When Chester took his life, my heart was torn! 2 of the most talented vocalists that got me through decades of pain and emotion and still does to this very day. 2 people that can't be replaced.
The part where he somberly sings about how all the flowers she planted died when she went away always gets me, but for some reason, most reactors don't even mention it.
Another of our Seattle musical icons tragically gone far too soon.
@@jjo154 that's the part that destroys me
@@oddballgunman5288 😢 Yeah.
Oh, how I miss his singing. No one sings like you anymore, Chris.
and no one ever will!
@@luciferluci4570 Toni Cornell might have it (his daughter) I watched her do Hunger strike a while ago and at 15-ish she blew me away.
@@earthdreams467 Toni has definitely got it: ua-cam.com/video/yarf6ahlYt0/v-deo.html, Lily too: ua-cam.com/video/fAqS_c56TLE/v-deo.html
Mentioned this in the "Like a Stone" video, "Seasons" off of the Singles Soundtrack is in my humble opinion, the best song Cornell ever wrote or sang.
I didn't know this was a Prince cover. I always associate this song with Sinead O'Connor; Her voice was so beautiful on that track. She sang it for her mother who had passed away a few years before. She started crying while filming the "official music video" and told them to leave it in. The greatest songs are those anyone can connect with.
Same here; no idea it was a Prince song. Loved Sinead O'Connor as well.
Prince wrote numerous songs for other people (As well as wrote the song with the artist who sung it):
Stand Back for Stevie Nicks
The Glamorous Life for Sheila E.
Noon Rendezvous for Sheila E.
I Feel for You for Chaka Kahn
Sugar Walls for Sheena Easton
A Love Bizarre for Sheila E.
Manic Monday for The Bangles
Yo, Mister for Pattie Labelle
How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore for Alicia Keys
Love Song for Madonna
With This Tear for Celine Dion
Round an Round fr Taven Campbell
When You Were Mine or Cyndi Lauper
You're My Love for Kenny Rogers
Why Should I Love You for Kate Bush
Waiting Room for No Doubt
Jungle Love for The Time
Nasty Girl for Vanity 6
The Bird for The Time
Love... Thy Will Be Done for Martika
Nothing Compare to You For Sinead O'Conner (Obviously lol)
Sex Shooter for Appollonia 6
Make-Up For Vanity 6
100 MPH for Mazarati
Holly Rock for Sheila E.
Baby, You're a Trip for Jill Jones
Dear Michaelangelo
@@redchili6927 "Stand Back" lyrics written by Nicks, but she did say song was inspired by Prince's "Little Red Corvette". He also played the synthesizer on the Stand Back track.
As a psychologist, I am so grateful, Elizabeth, for your personal sharing and shout out for mental health and therapy. You are amazing to use your platform for this. Thank you!
Uses the man's suicide to segue into her sponsor. Yes how thoughtful.
@@Luke-391 It does feel like capitalizing on a tragedy. And I have not heard good things about BetterHelp.
@@Luke-391 Wow, seriously? I can't understand how you could take issue with this.
Elizabeth basically just says: Chris struggled with his mental health --> I, personally have struggled with my own mental health --> Hey viewers, if you're struggling with your mental health , here's an organization that might be able to help you. Please take care of yourselves.
It's perfectly appropriate, it's not like she's hocking hard seltzers, or the latest QLED TV here.
Do you think she would seek out a sponsor like betterhelp in the hopes they rained down money on her channel? Do you think she does these videos to get rich? She obviosly loves making them, and already has a successful career anyway.
People need to stop constantly looking for the negative in everything.
@@ryanlamanna1612 And who are you helping by only seeing the positive? Except for yourself. She mentions mental health only to segue into her sponsor, which she got paid for. So I replied to the psychologist who was 'so grateful' for that. What a joke. Get real.
@@Luke-391 Oof, you're missing the point. I don't only see positive, and I'm not helping anyone, it's not about me. (was kinda trying to help you but clearly failed)
If you have a problem with content providers using advertising... I don't know what to tell you, that's the foundation of the entire UA-cam platform. We get free videos in exchange for watching ads. But again, this isn't some consumer product she's shilling to turn a quick profit. It's an organization that tries to help people in need. And a topic that relates directly to her personally, as well as to the subject of this particular video. If Cornell had starved to death, and the sponsor was a food bank, would you still be this cynical about it?
If you want to scoff and turn up your nose at the capitalism of it all, look no further than the description above, where she has links to sell her own merch, and to plug the manufacturers of her headphones and even her chair! But to insist that she chose *this* sponsor for *this* video purely out of avarice seems intentionally obtuse. It's just a weird hill to die on, dude.
I admit there's a chance that she's a soulless, money hungry LLC, just in it for the clicks and riches. I accept that I might be competely wrong about her intentions, I'm just asking that you do the same.
Look, I'm sure at some point in your life you've helped someone just because they needed it, not for any personal gain. Think back to that time (or times) and remember why you did it and what you felt like, and try to imagine that maybe someone else could do the same thing. Have a great day.
Will never forgot Eddie Vedder's solo-concert right after Chris died. He lost his great friend and still played amazingly. Everyone could feel his pain.
when Eddie performed "Black" with just him and a guitar and he says "come back" a few times in the end...the most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen. the amount of pain in that man's voice and eyes was just..wow.
I saw Eddie at the Hammersmith in London when he opened up about Chris's death... tbh, cried like a baby. I sat there sobbing. Eddie was heartbroken, and so were we. Even typing this makes me cry.... that's how hard it hits hey. :(
Cornell was one of the very few vocalists where every time he sang it was pure emotion. Nothing ever felt forced, or even like he's making an effort to sing. It's just like his vocals were a direct conduit to his soul. Expression in it's most primal form.
Girl... This song makes me cry. And I'm a grown man
Thank you for your respect to the everything of it.
It is heartbreaking that both Chris Cornell and Prince are no longer with us, but it is great to see this amazing performance on TCV. Elizabeth, this channel, and its amazing community have been a constant source of light for me in some very dark times, and I think that Elizabeth is a walking instructional video on how to "try to have fun no matter what you do." Stay safe, stay sane, and have a happy holiday season!
Gotta tell you, though, as far as I'm concerned, this is the wrong year and wrong decade for sad songs... Angry songs are better... Hey should we try to plug The Clash at some point? Doubt E ever heard real punk rock.
@@luisnunes3863 Angry songs are the best!!! Nothing better for motivation! Maybe we can introduce E to punk proper at some point, but there's still so much badass metal out there. Like KK's Priest's "Sermons of the Sinner", one of the best traditional heavy metal albums I've heard in quite a while. Would love to see E react to something like "Return of the Sentinel" or "Hellfire Thunderbolt." She's a Halford fan, it's time for Ripper to get some love!
@@oglschmitt Yesss, especially after his interview with Razorfist, that really wet my appetite for an interview on Elizabeth's channel!
@@luisnunes3863 That would be amazing! The dude's got some stories to tell.
@@oglschmitt Though E is not the type to go into the really juicy ones, unfortunately... 😈😈😈
I wasn't going to, but as Elizabeth was curious, I put in a request for Heaven Can Wait.
The loss of Chris and then Chester shortly after was devastating to many of us, especially those of us who use music as our therapy more than anything else. I have seen so many of my musical idols come and go, and it can get extremely difficult and it can make it seem like the dark times never end, but they do, you just have to keep pushing forward a little at a time.
I just looked in the mirror, and things are looking so good
I'm looking California, and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah
Chester had sang at Chris's funeral too.
That made Chris's death my 'hardest hitting celeb loss', because it made such a wave of impact across not just the listeners, but other musicians themselves.
Chris and Chester were working on a documentary about child abuse and child trafficing. Coincidence? Also chester looks identical to John Podesta.
@@taekwonjoe8730 #WWG1WGA
All of us who know Chris, knows exactly what he did here. I miss him so much. And when a friend tries to voice their pain, please listen
"The emotions haven't resolved so the music shouldn't either" - wow, I never picked up on that until you said it, so incredibly insightful and the most profound of observations, well done!
As a mental health survivor myself, I want to thank you for sharing your support to our wellbeing.
I lost my fiance 3 years ago to depression, and it's still a gut punch every morning. This song hits a little different every time I hear it.
Thank you, David. Kirk, my husband, is a 2x suicide survivor. Mental health is so important, and he's living proof that one can fight their way out of the pits of depression, even if he still feels their claws trying to pull him back on a daily basis.
Thank you for sharing, and I appreciate you!
@@TheCharismaticVoice blessings to you both! It's not easy battling your own mind, and it's not easy to stick by someone through some of our terrible lows.
When he sings that living with him is sometimes hard, it feels like he's dredging up every ounce of that depression and laying it bare. It gets me every time.
I love this song. No matter who sings it, it really has a part in my heart, my soul. Prince really wrote this song, and he did an AMAZING JOB writing it. Thank you to Prince for blessing us all with wonderful creation. And thank you to Chris for doing a wonderful job in singing this. I miss you both to Prince and Chris.
Prince deserves to be on the channel himself, tbf. Little dude was insanely gifted, as a musician, singer, performer, and composer. Not many people can just give away number 1 hits like Christmas stocking stuffers...
Shienead O'Connor and Chris did this song better than prince . Shinaed is the one i compare this song to most though
@@dancing_love2911 "better"? It resonates more with you, completely fair (I have my fave too) but can we pls end this 'better than' bullshit. What hits you most is important to you. Hold it close to your heart and value it but don't try to diminish another's work, effort or experience or love of through that. It's unbecoming. And most of all, it's untrue. When it comes to art, all is subjective. I personally also love SoC and CC's more than Prince's but would never say that were 'better'. He wrote it. He felt it. he conjured it so others could relate and re-interpretate. Recognize that, also, please. 'Better than' is only a tragedy, it's not proving or validating anything.
I would love to see him on these channels, but I think that the copyright on all of his music and videos is strict so the videos all get blocked
@@dancing_love2911 They didn't do it better. They did it differently. And O'Connor doesn't deserve to be mentioned with the legend Prince and Chris Cornell.
@@dancing_love2911 Prince wrote it. Without him the vocal performances you like wouldn't exist. So give him props as well. Same for any songwriter of favorite songs regardless of who performs it.
You've hit the nail on the head. Chris was SO emotive in his vocal style. Soundgarden was a cathartic release that got me through some tough times, and his passing still stings.
I believe that Chris put his personal pain in every song
I’m already sobbing . Chris has this haunting voice that I love so much xo
First time I heard this version I was absolutely blown away with the opening line , man that Chris had a one in a kind voice
I think him doing "when I'm down" live at the troubadour would BLOW your socks off. It's the best thing I've ever seen him do. And it's jazzy!
My favourite Cornell song and probably the most heartbreakingly beautiful love song ever written. Excellent choice!
It's crazy how you can feel the silence in every pause when he's singing.
One of the greatest evolution to Chris's vocals was that added beautiful vibrato. The maturation of a true vocalist.
I can't listen to this song without tearing up. Prince, Sinead, and Chris were 3 of my most favorite artists that gave me so much comfort in my times of need. Now they're all lost to us. I hope they're all in a better place.
Chris’s interpretation of this song hits you hard in the feels department. He is one of few that could ever do that!
I still can't listen to this without tearing, even with Elizabeth pausing. The emotion is so full, so emergent. It's been years now, but... I STILL can't get over the fact that he is gone.
Thank you for your message about mental health. I’m a survivor of my own suicide attempt. I was absolutely gutted when I heard of his passing, and especially that it was by his own hand.
I've been there too man
My favourite Chris Cornell cover song!
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s magical ❤️
Chris's death was a massive loss for the world. His performances were drenched in emotion, as is evidenced by this performance. He was definitely one of the best vocalists of a generation. I'm grateful I was able to see him live when Soundgarden was touring behind the "Superunknown" album.
your response to Chris' singing is how i've felt about it for the last 20+ years ... there's a hidden switch deep inside my soul and he is one of the very few to have flipped it through his voice
Beyond the Wheel...Sound Soundgarden. Shows his 4 octave range...I was 6 feet way from him when he sang this live in St. Louis in 2012...crowd was going nuts, but I was frozen like the old RCA dog because I've never been that close to someone who could do that with his voice and it seem so effortless. Truly amazing
I had this same reaction when I saw Audioslave do an acoustic show just after there second Album came out. It was so touching. The only other time I felt something like that was when I saw STP in like 2000
"you never really knew my mind" is another great cover by Chris. Came out close to his passing and really hits home
we seem to keep exploring Chris's softer side. How about we do "Show Me How To Live" by Audioslave next???
ua-cam.com/video/vVXIK1xCRpY/v-deo.html
Slaves and Bulldozers!
Limo Wreck!
Beyond the Wheel
Black Rain!
Outshined
As Chris aged his voice just got better and better. Listened to him since he started and was very saddened by his demise.
I want you to do Audioslave “the last remaining light” album version. Chris’ vocals are insane and there is so much feel in that song. “Getaway Car” is amazing too!
THIS! I was coming here to suggest the same (Last Remaining Light) ua-cam.com/video/WvdQJzIhm6k/v-deo.html
Man… R.I.P. Chris Cornell. A loss that can never be replaced. A Seattle Legend Forever.
Cris Really made every cover he sang his own, from Led Zeppelin to Micheal Jackson, and from jazz to metal he was one of the most versatile and talented musicians. Hope you do some Cris in the future not even going to request any song cause any song you chose it would be great.
@Bobb Grimley A simple spelling mistake isn't disrespectful.
@Bobb Grimley 1. I'm not the person who posted the comment. 2. I'm not a millennial, and judging by your obvious disdain for younger generations, you're just mad that they've accomplished more than you ever have.
But since we're on the topic, are millennials the one actively destroying democracy, the environment, the economy, etc? No? Didn't think so. Do yourself a favor, and stop bring spiteful of younger generations simply because they're a younger generation, you have some backwards preconceived notion of what they are/aren't.
@Bobb Grimley relax bob
@Bobb Grimley that was the joke Bob
Billy Jean is still one of my favorite covers! So much emotion vocal range
Please do Say Hello 2 Heaven by Temple of the Dog. Easily one of Chris’s best vocal performances. I can’t hear that song without getting emotional. Especially now that he’s gone.
Chris was one of the most amazing voices in music. I am so glad you featured Chris. Cheers!
Whenever I watch this performance I then have to go listen to Sweet Josephine to cheer myself up. Chris singing "Leave this endless winter behind" always makes my heart soar a little bit.
This song just crushes me. The voice, the instrumentation, the delivery. Ugh. Will it ever not be "too soon" to hear this?
I still cry every time I listen to this..
I can't believe you're doing this one. It's an awesome exhibition of his talent. Thank you Elizabeth.
One of the best voices ever. Never be another. He opens his mouth & my soul responds…
This is my favourite version of this song. There's something just haunting about his delivery, the way he's letting that nasal sound into his voice, like he's choked up. It's heartbreaking.
I'd love to see you check out "I Am The Highway". I literally want that song played at my funeral. XD
That's one of my favorite songs of all time. Just an absolutely gorgeous and brilliant song.
One of Chris' best IMO.
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this acoustic rendition, and I loved the performance. This was such an emotional and expressive song, and I've always admired Chris' voice. I also loved the second guitar and cello accompaniment, which complemented this amazing artist. And Thank You, for acknowledging the issues w/ Mental Health conditions, and for providing the BetterHelp website, to help all those in need! Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
I've seen Chris live and nothing is unintentional about the way he sings. His composition of this song was done specifically to show the raw emotion (his) or how it affected him. I'm so grateful he did because he sung it in such a way so many people could relate ❤️
Thank you for reviewing this version. My wife and myself listen to this daily. We respect your opinion and it has given us a better understanding of music in general. Well done!
This version just tears my heart into shreds. It always gives me chills and goosebumps. Every single time.
His mash up of U2 and Metallica's 'One' is pretty amazing also. Singing the Lyrics of Metallica's One, to the Melody of U2's One. I honestly don't know how he did it, I'm sure my brain would have a melt down of some sort.
Yes, this is pure genius!
Yes. A real mind bender. Like.... how the eff?!!?
I was lucky to see this live and it just blew me away! So talented, he was a master of his craft and is sorely missed, Rest In Power Chris
I swear when I hear Chris's voice it's like he is singing to ME! Literally, the most amazing voice of pain and hurt.
Tears now.... damn I love his voice so much
There is a live version of “When I’m Down” that is fantastic and heartbreaking. It’s just him and a pianist, and it’s one of his best performances in my opinion
Guess I'll prepare myself for a good cry lol.
I know, right?!
Chris Cornell’s talent was extraordinary. Not only his singing but his songwriting, his deep lyrics. He is like the most beautiful comet I’ve ever witnessed. I feel blessed to have lived at the same time as him. Saw him live solo and in every band of his. He never disappointed, always left me speechless and like I was in Heaven.
God, the raw emotion he makes you feel. I miss him so so much. ❤
I'm so happy you're doing this song and hope you go through a few more of his solo efforts. The man was seriously underrated during his time while having an effortless power in his singing. Thank you again.
As much as I love Chris Cornells version and voice I'll never forget where I was when I saw Sinead O'Connors version for the first time. I was about 12 and watching it on Top of the Pops, an iconic UK music show. It's very powerful. I hope you look at it sometime.
Right from the first moment I could see he moved you with his voice. That's Chris Cornell. The world will never be the same with his loss. That voice was just spellbinding. We miss you Kurt and Chris. We really do. I literally had to pause and go get a glass of wine to be able to watch this. The beauty of it. My word, I miss those years. Thank you for exploring the Grunge years and I look forward to more. It's such a wonderful time and I appreciate your perspective on what is going on with the voice. My heart though, omg.
The first line, Chris shows what an instrument his voice is. Amazing.
Cheers to Sinead because without her most people wouldn't know this song.
who
@@markvanderstelt8999 Prince wrote and performed the song, but it didn't gain much traction until 1989, Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor recorded a version of the song for her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. It was released as the album's second single in early 1990 and became a #1 hit on the Billboard 100 and inspired Prince to start doing the song live.
@@markvanderstelt8999
In case you are serious: Sinéad O'Connor, who sang this song in 1989, when it became a hit in several countries.
I was just gonna say didn't she make this song. I remember a video, did prince cover it.
@@tinocontreras5105
No, it's a Prince song, that Sinéad covered. For once, the cover became a LOT more popular than the original he did with The Family.
It amazing that you don't have to meet or know someone personally, that you can connect like this through music! 10 seconds in was enough for my soul to start hurting! RIP Chris, hope to meet you on the otherside someday! Thanks for this review Elizabeth!
I like this Gal, shes trying to explain the power of music and how you can read a person thru it, way deeper then most understand....Rip Chris...we miss you....💔
I absolutely LOVE this version by Chris Cornell! It gives me chills.
He was the greatest in terms of vocal technique in rock and roll, one of the last great musicians to orbit this planet.
Cornell put his soul and his immense sensitivity into every cover, and everything he played shone like gold, is brilliant, singular, art in the purest form.
"Cornell had the songwriting skills of the Beatles, the weight of Black Sabbah, and a powerful voice like Mercury.
He was everything!
This one just brings tears every time for me. He has a few more covers that are very powerful.
I cannot listen to this song without crying. The world lost the greatest rock vocalist ever. I’m still not over his death.
Your capacity for compassion is truly a ray of light moving across the data streams (that may be literal too). I admire your courage, and the compassion that fuels it. Such qualities are usually the result a period of profound internal struggles. Thank you for sharing and please when life derails always rember your strength and struggle well.
He made it look so effortless. RIP Chris.
Chris is my favorite. I have watched sooooo many live performances of his and my favorite by far is ‘When I’m Down’ live at the Troubadour. Just him and a piano. All the emotion, goosebumps, high notes, blues notes, etc. Ahhh so good. Check it out if even on your own time. 🙂
How did I never listen to this before? I love your channel, it makes me re-discover some songs that I thought I liked and now I appreciate them more, also your reactions are priceless and your thoughts are golden, you truly know your craft and I always admire that in a person. Gracias!!! greetings from Mexico.
This song is absolutely amazing. Makes me tear up every time I hear it.
As I hear him sing this song...I feel so heavy in my chest...Rest in peace Chris.
I've been waiting for this one since I started following you!!
I was about 8 years old when I first heard Chris and Soundgarden. 1992 I belive it was. I've been a huge pearl jam and soundgarden fan for as long as I can remember. Chris and Soundgarden were a huge parts of my growing up. I didn't know how much I would miss him till he was gone. I saw soundgarden 2 weeks before his death. A master of a movement and era that we might never see again happen again. Safe to say we all Miss him. Loud Love and RIP Chris and Chester.
It doesn’t matter how many times I hear this version… every time makes me cry.
Just about anything Chris Cornell sings acoustically, tears me up.
The first song I’ve ever really fallen in love with - Chris evolved as an artist over the years and Soundgarden has been in my life since the 90s - this song in particular, just kills me - for so many reasons.
If you want another good cry check out ‘the day I tried to live’
"So many cool things happening right away" Welp, I know where I'll be spending like the next 20 minutes.
Also, that line " its been so lonely without you here". Oh my goodness. It gets me every time, all the time. Truly miss him being here.
This makes me so happy that you did a reaction video for this song, and #ChrisCornell. The most pleasing and gratifying 'reaction' video that I've seen. His vocals here deserve very high praise. Emotion carved out the entire song. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you pointed out the beauty in the instrumental "solo" section. IMHO, one of the greatest and most tasteful live acoustic solo breaks ever. Clearly the guitarist and chello player felt and understood the emotion that Chris wanted to express, perfectly. So damn good.
Absolutely amazing live performer, endless talent and emotion. Check Chris version of I will always love you, emotion in the performance is incredible
This still breaks my heart every time I hear it. He deserved so much more but fell to a darker time. Bless that man.
His live performance of "I am the Highway" at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto was amazing, I wish there was video, such a raw performance.
