    I would nominate this song as the most beautiful piece of popular music written in the past 50 years. And this was a beautiful performance.

    A wonderful cover. Katie was rightly so moved by it that she began to tear up at the end, and discreetly wiped her eye, but then the magic was instantly crushed when the host burst in with his carnival-barker voice.

  • @engrfka

    The fact that everyone covers this song based on a cover itself, is enough to state how good Eva Cassidy was with this song. This song originally belongs to Sting, but Eva Cassidy just sang it to perfection. And now everyone covers her version. Bravo

      Not a copy of Eva, actually.
      Apples & Oranges.
      This stays quieter - fewer dynamics - for me at least that keeps the words at the center of our attention rather than the performer's voice.
      Not better, not worse, not derivative.
      I love big performances and interior ones. They find & reach different things in us. ..

      Eva Cassidy covered a lot songs giving them her own spirit. Here too by changing Sting's pop version in such an emotional song.
      Katie ist not only singing it almost exactly like Eva (by accident) and she also doesn't copy her style.
      Katie definitly covers the version of her grate role model Eva Cassidy. And yes, surely she's not exactly Eva, but indeed fucking good.
