Why do people keep comparing this, saying "I'm sorry it doesn't compare to the original one." EXCUSE ME if you want to listen to the original one then go listen to it. It clearly says that this is a COVER.
Because people look to see if there is a really good cover of the song. One might be much better than the original to them, so they might want to comment and say that they think so. Another might not quite meet the mark, and they might comment saying that too, not necessarily in a malicious way. Covers are meant to be compared and contrasted to originals. It's very hard to not compare them.
I discovered this song I adore ages ago and went to listen to the original one reading this comment. I totally hate the original song as it is way too different from this version I totally love.
My mom was crying, my dad was screaming, the music was blaring, and my sister was yelling… but this song got me through it all. It drowned out the scary world into a calm one. Thank you
Hey Guys :) wow the support has been amazing on the video! I have just uploaded a my version of Justin Bieber's new song 'what do you mean? Please come and check it out! xxx'
Thank you all so much for your support! I wish i could spend all day replying to every single one of you! WOW over 300,000 views! I read all of your comments, and I really appreciate your words. thank you so much! Alice Xx
Heyy Guys! i am Speechless 5,271,287 views! Thank you all so much for your support, you are incredible! Im sorry ive been quiet, i will be posting new music up very soon! thank you for your patience. :-) Alice Olivia Xx
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support, you guys are AMAZING! What can I do to show you guys my appreciation? I want suggestions! What song do you want to hear me sing next?
Well.... I think you sing any song very well so i leave here some suggestions: ed sheeran - thinking out loud, change your life - little mix or take me to church - hozier
While not as good, I think Jasmine Thompson’s version is certainly comparable. Alivia clearly takes number one, but Jasmine is a not too distant second.
you guys are amazing!! i cant believe all of your lovely comments! ive just put a new mp3 download link on my soundcloud for the cover and instrumental, it has 100 downloads limit though so be quick!
Matija Kočiš I repeat my earlier post: " NO! NO! BAD GIRL! BAD!!! This song is supposed to be a dirge sung out fear and sorrow. You sing it way, way too upbeat. The lyrics sing of impending death, destruction and genocide, and you sing it like it's an upbeat romantic solo ballad. Your voice is great, but this is NOT the tone that this song is supposed to take. "I See Fire" is a statement of horror and despair, and is absolutely not the kind of thing you should be SMILING to as you sing it. Sorry, but emotional weight is every bit as important as having a good voice, and your version carries none of the emotional weight the original song (and most its other covers) is supposed to have."
Terrible, it's made for the hobbit not for some futuristic fire place advert. it's flooded with effects and results in such a bad cover, jesus just naturally sing it sound much better
I think she has a unique sound, and her voice is clear and warm to me. Love this! like how she ads her own inflection and includes the lower and higher vocal tracts, as was done in the original. Definitely a professional rendition.
This is really, REALLY beautiful! I'm blown away. I was a little skeptical to hear a cover of this already since I'm still so in love with the original version, but you did an outstanding job. GREAT voice - such a rich sound, and I love the octave doubling/harmonies. You managed to capture the mood of the song while still giving it a uniqueness that's truly YOU and not just a copy of Ed's version. It takes a lot to do a cover right, and you absolutely nailed it. Great work!
Hi Jessica! Such a lovely and amazing comment you left me! I loved it so much i featured it on my Instagram page: @thealiceolivia i hope you don't mind! it was just really inspiring!
Ive put up a new download link on soundcloud for anyone who couldn't download it before, its in the description! & I am going to put up another link to the instrumental backing track today! X
AliceOliviaMusic . Thanks a lot, you sound much better than Sheeran. I don't know I can't stand his voice. In my opinion, you have fixed this song! thanks! :)
***** Yes! really! I don't know why, but Ed's vocal doesn't fit to this song. Her voice is hundreds times better, but it's my opinion. You don't have to agree with that, and of course I understand.
I am blown away by this! As you alternated between high and low pitch I could imagine different characters in the movie singing it with you. You also got my favorite part, 3:37, across perfectly! I just keep replaying it and singing about 'my brothers' and the 'shadow upon the ground' with you. Your talent is incredible; thank you so much.
I love your lower notes, you keep it at a level where it was lowish but still feminine. It sounded so nice and clear repetitive beauty reminding of the hobbit and drwafs. When you were going higher it sounded strained.. well to me. But hey to everyone their cup of liquid.
nope. the fact that the song is in a different key because of her voice changes everything. Ed Sheeran's voice is perfect for the mood. her's doesn't give me the same feeling as his did when i saw the movie. nice voice just not for that song
Im actually in love😍 the deep warm backing vocals that lie thinly beneath a perfect angellic voice actually makes me feel warm, inconsolable, and emotional all in one. Absolutely brilliant and perfect body language for the song also. Pure princess. ☺️
Even just from the opening notes my thoughts were "wow! This is powerful." Fantastic rendition of "I See Fire." I am a huge fan of The Hobbit and The Desolation of Smaug is my favorite of the 3 and you encapsulated not only the wonder and magic but the emotion of the story within this performance, well done you got another sub :) Keep up the great work.
+AliceOliviaMusic hello i like to sing this any tips? my voice is similar to your but less experience. and back track for the song can you give good link. the link in discribtion doesnt work.
Thank you all for such an incredible response! i read and really appreciate all your amazing comments :) I have a question: which song would YOU like to hear me cover next?
Exactly, waaaaaaayyyyy overproduced. Curious what the live unedited version sounded like, was it really that bad, or did the producer just go crazy for some reason?
First video I see with you. You got a nice voice, both in the higher and lower tones. Great version of this song. Just a bit too much different voices at some point in the end, which made it hard to distinguish your vocal from the sampled ones, mixed all together. Well done! Also doesn't hurt that you look pretty and have those big green eyes.
Nice video... by the way, your camera man needs to get a polarizing filter for the lens - that will remove his reflection from the mirror whilst shooting.
why are there so many dislikes? i mean the voice sounds pretty edited and stuff but is that the reason? (this isn't a hate the hate comment im just curious)
At least she knows what trying is... And doing a good job. You don't get anywhere in this world without working at it. You people are so damn judgmental guess you two jus popped out of the womb jus All Great n shit.
Well, when you try too hard to be something or do something you're not, and you don't stick to your personal strengths/personality, it loses originality.
People that say this probably don't understand about music. her voice is perfect. She only put more voices in second and third voices. This music caused me creeps. Perfect!
Forget whatever anyone says about your use of effects, this sounded amazing and is the only version of this song that I listen to. Keep up the amazing work girl!
I don't like it. You have a good voice...but you just don't feel it. I don't need to say more I guess. I'm not saying that you're not a good singe. You really can sing. But you've made a wrong choice by that song. You have to feel what you sing to make it good. At least with this one.
Why do people keep comparing this, saying "I'm sorry it doesn't compare to the original one." EXCUSE ME if you want to listen to the original one then go listen to it. It clearly says that this is a COVER.
Because people look to see if there is a really good cover of the song. One might be much better than the original to them, so they might want to comment and say that they think so. Another might not quite meet the mark, and they might comment saying that too, not necessarily in a malicious way. Covers are meant to be compared and contrasted to originals.

Hmm...Alice can sing everything :)
Make your own music bitch
+Braulio Garcia You know, a lot of professional singers and celebrities don't make their own music. Also, Ed Sheeran has done covers.

Out of all the "I See Fire" covers ain't nobody stepping to Alivia! PERIOD.
FACTS
❤️❤️❤️
😘
While not as good, I think Jasmine Thompson’s version is certainly comparable. Alivia clearly takes number one, but Jasmine is a not too distant second.
Still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
you guys are amazing!! i cant believe all of your lovely comments! ive just put a new mp3 download link on my soundcloud for the cover and instrumental, it has 100 downloads limit though so be quick!
is it this exact same track or did you do a new version of your cover?
jimboa20 this is the same track...
Damn it. Really, really don't like this version.
jimboa20 Who cares? She did a really good job! Too bad you can't see it.

Amazing Job, Alice
Amazing cover! What kind of mic do you use, and which musicprogram?
I think she has a unique sound, and her voice is clear and warm to me. Love this! like how she ads her own inflection and includes the lower and higher vocal tracts, as was done in the original. Definitely a professional rendition.
OH GAWD. I LOVE YOUR VOICE! You totally have your own voice

wauw
***** Yes! really! I don't know why, but Ed's vocal doesn't fit to this song. Her voice is hundreds times better, but it's my opinion. You don't have to agree with that, and of course I understand.
Rick Oeveren So much better.
za dużo niepotrzebnych babskich upiększeń i dziewczyna zdaje zatracać to o czym rzeczywiście śpiewa. nie zmienia to faktu, że wykonanie piękne.
nie pierdol. JEST DOBRZE. taka wasza natura ze wszystko upiększacie

I think that Alice Olivia is extremely talented. Beautiful Voice that makes this song flow really well. I Love this Song. Great Job Alice!!!!!
My favorite cover! Jasmine Thompson is great but this one gives me chills
ohh my Buddha.. What a angel voice
nope. the fact that the song is in a different key because of her voice changes everything. Ed Sheeran's voice is perfect for the mood. her's doesn't give me the same feeling as his did when i saw the movie. nice voice just not for that song

+Ian Tao (Selinasuka) ahhhh wow! Thank you so much for your continued support! Xx
Right? And every time I do I keep wishing they’d make this version avlaible for download.
Even just from the opening notes my thoughts were "wow! This is powerful." Fantastic rendition of "I See Fire." I am a huge fan of The Hobbit and The Desolation of Smaug is my favorite of the 3 and you encapsulated not only the wonder and magic but the emotion of the story within this performance, well done you got another sub :) Keep up the great work.
And after 8 years still listening to this cover!! ❤️❤️
honestly, i dont think ANYONE's version can be as great as Ed Sheeran's, but this version is really really good :)
Ahh me neither! Eds is amazing!! Thanks for the comment xx
True.
You are the manifestiation of the fact that todays best musicians are on youtube, not on tv/radio, hah :)
Beautiful voice. You have a wonderful gift that you no doubt have worked very hard to refine. Absolutely beautiful
She's good but ed sheeran is out of this planet ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! Love that song and this version is just so great
Beautiful voice!!❤️ AMAZING🔥
Wow wow wow wow wow..... And WOW. Amazing Cover! Brought me to tears. Amazing voice. I love it. Well done. Cheers.
Omg I want hear you and Ed Sheeran sing this together It would sound so beautiful!!!
That would be so incredible to do that! Xx
+AliceOliviaMusic hello i like to sing this any tips? my voice is similar to your but less experience. and back track for the song can you give good link. the link in discribtion doesnt work.
Thank you all for such an incredible response! i read and really appreciate all your amazing comments :) I have a question: which song would YOU like to hear me cover next?
Can you do a Taylor Swift song next ? Thx
will you marry me?
Maybe Stolen Dance? I think it would fit to your voice quite good! :)
''different worlds''- jes hudak
Do 'Young and Beautiful' by Lana Del Rey. I think your voice would work well with that song. :)
OK am done, am so searching for this angel who just mended a broken heart. you are amazingly good
Ahh thank you x
+AliceOliviaMusic You Amazing!! you better then Taylor Swift
Nice low register. Breathy...controlled...soulful-simply perfect.
Your voice is beautiful
It's Durins son, not Djurins son.
an army of 10 thousand orcs disliked this
More like the select few people with functioning brains and a shared disdain for post processing.
Exactly, waaaaaaayyyyy overproduced. Curious what the live unedited version sounded like, was it really that bad, or did the producer just go crazy for some reason?
Alice Lucy i hate orcs but i love Thorin
Shall I shoot them?
But the gondorian-rohhirim army will win. They are 100 thousand
Très beau, j'adore tes bases. Vraiment une délicieuse reprise. Une voix divine. Bon courage pour la suite.
Thanks for this song. It's a great cover with a soothing voice!
Her voice gives me goosebumps 🥺😍

WOW your voice is just STUNNING!! You are an AMAZING singer! HOLY COW! I can't even.... just- wow!
Best cover song ever 💯💯🤜🤜🤞🤞
Nice video... by the way, your camera man needs to get a polarizing filter for the lens - that will remove his reflection from the mirror whilst shooting.

She's trying too hard
Megan Williams oh ok
At least she knows what trying is... And doing a good job. You don't get anywhere in this world without working at it. You people are so damn judgmental guess you two jus popped out of the womb jus All Great n shit.
Megan Williams Since when was trying too hard wrong?
Well, when you try too hard to be something or do something you're not, and you don't stick to your personal strengths/personality, it loses originality.
Did you change you voice or something? It doesnt seems real in my opinion
You deserves a record deal. I watch your cover videos a few times. I must say you have a voice of an angel.
Agreed 💗
I hope these famous singers are watching your videos.
Justin Showers not only that but shes very taltented with orcastrating the music to perfection.
I have to argee .
+Justin Showers TGV ooi TGV; pkmmmlkooio
I love this Alice! I'd love to see you do this again 2 years on!
such a beautiful voice you have, love from norway
I don't understand how people are calling her voice robotic, stiff, or too deep. Probably biased from watchingnover covers before this one.
People that say this probably don't understand about music. her voice is perfect. She only put more voices in second and third voices. This music caused me creeps. Perfect!
Well done but original Ed Sheeran's version is still unbeatable ! It's much more powerful.
Forget whatever anyone says about your use of effects, this sounded amazing and is the only version of this song that I listen to. Keep up the amazing work girl!
Absolutely beautiful in soooo many ways...you too darling...kudos
That was litterly posted on 2013 it still lives till today 2020

You really do this song Justice girl. Keep up the amazing work as you always do .
Peace ! and a major thumbs up
When she actually knows how to take control! 💘
Oof still so good ❤️🔥
I don't like it.
You have a good voice...but you just don't feel it.
I don't need to say more I guess.
I'm not saying that you're not a good singe.
You really can sing.
But you've made a wrong choice by that song.
You have to feel what you sing to make it good.
At least with this one.
You could be a bit friendlier though.
x'D Dude you just made me spill milk out of my nose
Hm... I think she did a really good job.
check the original
then watch this video
you'll see that she doesn't have the spirit
can you check my cover? :)
Alice you are incredible! beautiful voice, soft and soothing, thank you! i hope you keep singing, we need more of you in this world!
this is crap
