I was debating if she’s playing a ukulele, so I looked it up!! Answer is from Google. (Yeah, I’m weird like that!!) What is bigger than a ukulele but smaller than a guitar? A baritone ukulele is larger than a tenor ukulele and is tuned a fifth lower. ... This gives it a sound that is perfect for musicians who want a sound a little higher pitched than a guitar but not quite as high pitched as a smaller ukulele.

To the videographer, the reason this video has 2.3 million hits in such a short time is because it's fucking awesome. Everyone that sees it shows it to a few of their friends....because it's fucking awesome. The performance is so good it easily transcends the shitty cell phone camera it was captured on, THAT's how you get 2.3 million hits. I am amazed at how many negative comments are below, all this horseshit about how the key is lowered etc...whatever. Sia's original is in C#. When Sia herself does it live she lowers it a whole step to B. Sara does it in C, right in between Sia's two keys. Singers are worse than guitar players, everyone thinks they can do it better....and yes, the chords she's playing are correct.

Seriously, you haven't heard of her? Do "Love Song" or "Brave" ring any bells? She's actually more known for her songwriting and musicianship than her voice I suppose, but only because she doesn't go out of her way to show off her singing chops, like some vocalists do. But she was a judge on the acappella show The Sing Off for good reason, as she's a former acappella champ herself. Also, she's been nominated for several Grammys, including Album of the Year for her most recent record The Blessed Unrest.

I love Sia and Sara. The song chandelier lyrically we all know the darkness it speaks of...dark emotions and times, similar to Sia's "Breathe Me" and "I'm in Here" but vocally it's an exercise of power and control. Sia goes from belting does a key change into very high soft notes. Sara follows the roadmap but puts her vocal style to it. Sia has a raw sadness...one full of anger, desperation and hurt. Sara sings with a melancholy, beautiful sadness. Both renditions are powerful and beautifully done.

ahub87 Spot on! My brother and I was talking how differently both artists have interpreted this song. Sia makes you feel an intense pain, a pain that numbs you, a pain that is caused by the people around you. Her interpretation gives a message that no matter how inflicting the pain becomes, just continue to do the things that make you alive. Sara's interpretation gives an entirely different story with the same degree of powerful emotions. It has a feeling of being isolated, as you have best put, a beautiful melancholy. This is where you will see how singers transcends a performance and become a real artist. They don't just make sure that you will hear a different sound, but they will bring you to their counterpart world to tell another story.

Hello, all. I am the videographer for this video. I never ever anticipated 2million plus views and the spirited discussion it has generated. I go to lots of concerts and make lots of videos and have not had this happen before. I attribute it to Sia's popularity and the song's popularity. I just wanted to add a few things. First, Sara is an amazing live performer and she sang this song in the middle of a set of about 18 songs. All just as good. Second, I recorded and included her chatting because she is very funny and I think her fans enjoy hearing her in between songs chat. Sorry for those who don't like that part. Third, Sara always includes covers in her shows and they are generally very different from the original, always her own take on them. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one I recommend. Never cared about the song before i heard her version. Sorry, Elton fans. Fourth, in live shows, she "covers" her own songs in different ways from the studio version, Come Round Soon comes to mind. Last, I am glad a lot of you have enjoyed this performance and video and for those who did not, it just shows we don't all like the same things. Again, I continue to be amazed at the interest this has generated. Good for Sara, and SIa, too. :)

And while this song is indeed popular I think Sara's got just as much name recognition--if not more--in the US as Sia.

I know she's one of the best singers of the 22nd century!
Keddie Vobaine 21st century, right?
I'm not sure lol
so is sia.
Yea
You know someone's a good vocalist when the audience sits in silence and doesn't sing along (especially to such a popular song) just so they can hear and feel every note. Rare, incredible, and underrated talent.
That and it's a respectful audience (other then the cheering)
Haha but imagine the audience were singing along to Chandelier tho 😂 they'll break each others' ear
that song was released only few months earlier to that recording, so it wasn’t that popular back then
👍😍
you dont have to sing good to get that. you have to share emotion. that job is called interpreter. she is *also* an amazing singer but that has nothing to do with how good she share those moments. she is amazing
This woman is criminally UNDER RATED. Her clarity and vocal ability along with her song writing skills should really be applauded and FAR MORE appreciated. I think she’s just fantastic!!!!
This! I have zero hesitation in saying she is probably the best singer of the past 10-15yrs. Versatile, agile, unreal range and control. She makes it look effortless too!
I think she's pretty famous. I'm a straight black guy and I'm a fan. Definitely not her target demographic lol.

+cnealz She deserves so much more credit.
+cnealz Agree, she's pretty underrated. I think it's because she doesn't really fit into a category. But, she has a great voice, upbeat and her live performances match her album voice.
+Colt T She lacks control.
***** Yup her vibrato is really shakey and uneven too. Sad. She was very naturally talented. Some good vocal training would've did her wonders.
***** I haven't heard her name for any reason in a long time sorry.
I can't believe she covered the song so beautifully alone ... and with a f***ing ukulele? That is pure, raw talent.
I was debating if she’s playing a ukulele, so I looked it up!! Answer is from Google. (Yeah, I’m weird like that!!) What is bigger than a ukulele but smaller than a guitar? A baritone ukulele is larger than a tenor ukulele and is tuned a fifth lower. ... This gives it a sound that is perfect for musicians who want a sound a little higher pitched than a guitar but not quite as high pitched as a smaller ukulele.
I know right!.! She can belt it out all right. Her and Sia after all the years gone by still send a shiver up my spine.
her version is so.... dark. i dont know how to say this, so deep, so dark, the chorus part like cut my head in half. speechless..
beltsazar4689 just like it should be. She really captured the emotion of the song
It's a really dark song to begin with.
Listen to damien rice’s version of it, you won’t regret it
@@kshwethmayankh1188 ...Glennis Grace
Haunting, especially without audience participation.
No instruments that guide her, no electronics for vocal support; pure acoustic, and a ridiculously hard song. Fuck me that was impressive.
V K I saw her do this live. Shit was amazing.
Its so crystal clear when she belts! its so precise and controlled and her fucking personality! i love her!
You nailed it--it's the clarity (and resonance) of her belts that's so amazing! Such a mind-blowingly beautiful tone.
Hmmm do I know nothing about music because I prefer Sia's Hellen performance better? Something about Sia's cracks in the song make it that much better like if it's supposed to be sung with cracks in it?
Kind of like how crying while singing gives the song more emotion even if it's not cookie cuter perfect, I don't know what I'm talking about I just like Sia's live version better.
Darwin Gutierrez They're both very different and you're entitled to like what you like. I love Sia's damaged-sounding cracks too, but I also love Sara's crystal-clear tone and resonance. And keep in mind she's singing this live with only a ukulele for accompaniment which is SO risky--nowhere to hide if she hits a bad note. But she doesn't. :)
yeah i agree. Sarah's technicalities are very good, she has the kind of strong voice that is extremely clear even when she sings high notes, and she definintely has a range. a real professional singer. i love this cover
Her cover of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” is stunning.
Very true.
That cover is sick for sure! She’s better live than on recorded albums
agree 110%
Funny. I thought this was Chandelier.
I love her version so haunting and beautiful 💜
I love how she runs to the top note of the phrase “chandelier” instead of just trying to hit it on the dot and go out of tune like most artists do.. it’s much more beautiful like that
Yes. Love that step up!!
This is my favorite cover of this song because of that single note!
@@lokidobbs3644 she could hit probably but the effect is quite fetching. I don't think it's a question of capacity but a question of taste. The performance is absolutely flawless.

To the videographer, the reason this video has 2.3 million hits in such a short time is because it's fucking awesome. Everyone that sees it shows it to a few of their friends....because it's fucking awesome. The performance is so good it easily transcends the shitty cell phone camera it was captured on, THAT's how you get 2.3 million hits. I am amazed at how many negative comments are below, all this horseshit about how the key is lowered etc...whatever. Sia's original is in C#. When Sia herself does it live she lowers it a whole step to B. Sara does it in C, right in between Sia's two keys. Singers are worse than guitar players, everyone thinks they can do it better....and yes, the chords she's playing are correct.
It wasn't a shitty cell phone camera.
8throwcenter I think that's pretty obvious to anyone who's seen all the shitty cell phone camera videos on KZhead. Thanks for not recording this with a shitty cell phone camera. It's a really nice quality video, especially when you consider it was taken from the audience.
Heather L. Apparently it's pretty obvious to everyone except 501chorusecho.
Augustus 9901 I guess his comment was meant to be a compliment (sorta backhanded though.)
+Heather L. You may be right, but what made you believe 501 chorusecho is a man? But what I picked up on is that their name is otherwise known as the model number for a tape echo and delay recorder. So whom ever they are they probably work or play in the music industry. People often miss the real detail of people who want to leave a post. So quick to judge, but it wasn't a backhanded compliment at all. It was just an enthusiastic comment. The compliment was telling the videographer they were fucking awesome, but that seemed to be lost on everyone.
"It's fcking hard" and then perfectly slays the song. :) i love her so much
+Mark Sapigao I think she meant emotionally difficult
+Mark Sapigao If you think she kills this song (she is really good, honestly), you should listen to Sia singing this live. Sia is a freak and a godess of singing. I mean it, the only one that I think can be on the same level as Sia, as of today's artists, is Jessie J.
Francisco Silveira Off course I heard Sia's live version. She is amazing. Not saying SIa sang it better than Sara because their versions have their own appeals. Sia is one of the few artists, along with Sara Barreilles, who sound better and more amazing live.
Mark Sapigao What I tried to say is that on a technical level, Sara doesn't come any close to Sia. But I can agree with you, each has their own style and both are very good singers.
Francisco Silveira I know :) I can't imagine Sara singing Chandelier the same way that Sia sings it. It would probably be too much for Sara. But then again, it's because Sara has her own style.
The "fly" at 4:47 might be the best sounding note I've heard in my entire life. This woman is freaking amazing. I'm shook. Wow
*@4:46
yea that note literally pulled tears out of my eye's... she really rounds it out and gives that touch of vibrato and control. That is so unbelievably difficult in that range for a woman's chest voice its insane! The woman's a literally super-hero with super powers.
The 30 seconds of that chorus is the best anyone has ever sounded singing.
You set expectations high, you were 100% right. The vibrato and power of it
That exact part of the song gave me goosebumps it was so sung well with fly at 4:46.
The fact is there is only her ukulele...but I wondered where is the extra melodious tune coming from... then I realised it's her voice and feelings..... amazing..!!... I'm in tears....❤️

This cover showed me how sad the lyrics for this song really is, a girl that drinks too much and everyone thinks she is having fun because she dancing, taking shots and swinging from chandeliers but she is really holding on for her life and needs help to stop. She is using alcohol to push down her pain.
I couldn't have said it better. Well done.
Yep. That's exactly what it's about. And it's quite sad. I saw a really great interview with Sia where she talked very bluntly about how bad that was for her and it is part of why she doesn't want to tour anymore.
Sia wrote this song about her abuse of alcohol and the low point of her life where she couldn't deal with her problems anymore very powerful song luv Sia
e.o forreal I thought she was just partying like theres no tomorrow
TheAray6 wonderfully said!
WOW....that was absolutely fucking stunning. I don't know why I've never heard of this woman before, but with a voice like this, she should be ruling the music world. Just wow.
Seriously, you haven't heard of her? Do "Love Song" or "Brave" ring any bells? She's actually more known for her songwriting and musicianship than her voice I suppose, but only because she doesn't go out of her way to show off her singing chops, like some vocalists do. But she was a judge on the acappella show The Sing Off for good reason, as she's a former acappella champ herself. Also, she's been nominated for several Grammys, including Album of the Year for her most recent record The Blessed Unrest.

The song chandelier lyrically we all know the darkness it speaks of...dark emotions and times, similar to Sia's "Breathe Me" and "I'm in Here" but vocally it's an exercise of power and control. Sia goes from belting does a key change into very high soft notes. Sara follows the roadmap but puts her vocal style to it. Sia has a raw sadness...one full of anger, desperation and hurt. Sara sings with a melancholy, beautiful sadness. Both renditions are powerful and beautifully done.
***** wow. great way of explaining it! i love when people know music..♪
Probably the best analysis
Couldn't agree more.
ahub87 Spot on! My brother and I was talking how differently both artists have interpreted this song. Sia makes you feel an intense pain, a pain that numbs you, a pain that is caused by the people around you. Her interpretation gives a message that no matter how inflicting the pain becomes, just continue to do the things that make you alive. Sara's interpretation gives an entirely different story with the same degree of powerful emotions. It has a feeling of being isolated, as you have best put, a beautiful melancholy. This is where you will see how singers transcends a performance and become a real artist. They don't just make sure that you will hear a different sound, but they will bring you to their counterpart world to tell another story.

She has such great stage presence, it's like she can entertain the audience like a comedian and make them laugh then bust out a song after
Welshy 👍
Im saving my money to see her at the Fox theater here in Atlanta. She blows me away! Laughing and crying, I have chills.
Yeah I always loved her voice since I'm not going to write you a love song!
Sums Sara up to a T
Her voice is so freaking powerful!
I have heard Sia sing this live and while she does it very well, Sara absolutely SLAYS it. This girl is better live than she is in a studio and "that" is VERY hard to pull off.
This is the best thing I've ever heard.... and I've once heard, "no sir, you don't have to pay extra for guac."
You're my new favorite person of the week for that guac comment lololol
Sara can sing whatever the hell she wants and absolutely nail it. She's basically Meryl Streep with a piano (or ukulele, in this case).
María Cristina Quayat Mel Baritone Ukulele?
EXACTLY
Yet, she's so Fleabag.
You NAILED it!!!!
She puts me in the mind of Chris Cornell in that way, whatever she sings it is her version of it and she flat OWNS whatever it is she sings...
This chick can sing the fckn phone book and we will all still end up crying phenomenal voice!!!
I was lucky enough to see this live. Amazing singer, lovely talented lady. Hope to see her live again. Such an amazing performer and so very talented ❤️
I saw Sara sing this live in San Diego and I was BLOWN AWAY! Sara has this way of creeping up on you. At first you think, "Oh, this is good." And then towards the middle you have to slap yourself out of the trance she's just put you in. This and "Come Round Soon" were my favorite performances of her Little Black Dress tour. I can't get over how raw and hauntingly beautiful she is when it's just her and some strings.
Coline Ingalla Absolutely love her latest version of Come Round Soon!
mysticsmb It gives me the chills every time I listen to it! I love her live.
Coline Ingalla Is there video for the San Diego one? Because the one from this concert (Charlottesville) is the best of all the Come Round Soons I think (though they all are interesting).
mysticsmb I couldn't find one online, but I recorded some with my phone. It's not the greatest quality but I was in the 1st row so it was close 😉
Hello, all. I am the videographer for this video. I never ever anticipated 2million plus views and the spirited discussion it has generated. I go to lots of concerts and make lots of videos and have not had this happen before. I attribute it to Sia's popularity and the song's popularity. I just wanted to add a few things. First, Sara is an amazing live performer and she sang this song in the middle of a set of about 18 songs. All just as good. Second, I recorded and included her chatting because she is very funny and I think her fans enjoy hearing her in between songs chat. Sorry for those who don't like that part. Third, Sara always includes covers in her shows and they are generally very different from the original, always her own take on them. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one I recommend. Never cared about the song before i heard her version. Sorry, Elton fans. Fourth, in live shows, she "covers" her own songs in different ways from the studio version, Come Round Soon comes to mind. Last, I am glad a lot of you have enjoyed this performance and video and for those who did not, it just shows we don't all like the same things. Again, I continue to be amazed at the interest this has generated. Good for Sara, and SIa, too. :)
and the talent of sara too
The best cover of this song great job !
8throwcenter You got all these views because this video (and another one from Sara's Chicago concert) was linked to on a couple of well-read music blogs and then spread via social media--because of just how amazing Sara's singing is. Everyone and their brother have tried to cover Chandelier and most have fallen flat, except for Sara. And while this song is indeed popular I think Sara's got just as much name recognition--if not more--in the US as Sia.
Thanks man - I'm a huge fan of Sara and the song, so it's such a great thing to have such a HQ version!
do you make money off this video?
Her runs are amazing!! Such talent!!! Beautiful voice!!
She's one of the best singers out there and this song is still hard for her, shows what a freaking MONSTER of a song Chandelier is to perform.
She warns people that she may be no good.. warning the song is very hard to sing. And she then sings like an angel. This is beautiful to watch. Just perfect. This is real talent.
FINALLY someone who can sing this WITHOUT auto-tune!
I'm mortified to admit that I just now discovered Sara. She is without a doubt a GIFTED singer. To sing this song at this level with nothing but a mic and guitar is seriously amazing. I'm a new fan!!
Amazing vocal, no studio or computer corrections, just a girl and her instrument. Thank you.
This girl should have been filling arenas by now, she's so much better than any other famous artist I know for sure.
She is now! Or was before the pandemic. And will again, I'm sure
She's been on Broadway for awhile and now on TV. She also has a bunch of albums out.
Better than Taylor swift that’s for sure
It’s always the brightest stars who shine at a different frequency ⭐️
@@yohannugraha2869 They're both great for different reasons, no need to play them off against each other. Oh, and I watched the 1989 tour recently - I've never watched a TS gig in full before - I was astounded by just how good Taylor's vocals were, loads of power definitely an example of someone growing into their role and improving with age. It's also worth remembering that Sara is 10 years TS's senior so has a decade of experience on her.
How is this live??? Nobody's voice should be this perfect. I've listened to this like fifty times.
Okay don't judge me, but I had never heard of this woman until I happened upon her on KZhead. I am beyond words in order to effectively describe how amazing she is! I cannot seem to get enough! Thank you, Ms. Bareilles!
Wow she hits those high notes super solidly
Wow.. Probably the best voice i've ever heard in my life
You should also listen to her cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road--stunning! (even Elton John said so!)
mysticsmb She covers Dock of the Bay phenomenally too. She just has a great range and tone in her voice. I hope their will be a DVD of this concert tour showcasing this and the great a capella song with those other fabulous girls she sings with too. Love Cara, Christina and my fav...MISTY!
she gave me chills
Oh my gosh, me too!
Yeah x.x
me toooooo
Singing that song live with just a ukulele --unreal. Not many artists could pull that off. Bravo.
I've never heard Sara's live vocals and I am.....HOLY STRAWBERRIES BATMAN! Thanks so very much for posting this.
Her Chandelier performance here is definitely my favorite so far from her all her version thus far! Stellar!!!
except for sia!
Her head voice is so pure and beautiful. It sounds like a bell, so crystal clear. I prefer hers now over the original. Her voice is just perfect.
Her head *and* chest voice are crystal clear. Those beautiful belted notes in the chorus are from her chest.
she hits those high notes and I literally break down sobbing because my brain doesn't know how to process that much beauty
both sara and sia versions are jaw dropping. She's just honestly sing from the heart that's why its so perfect.
No idea who this woman is, never heard of her until now. But... she is fantastic. This is how the song should have been done, in my opinion. Good job. Great voice.
Check out her albums...she has an amazing live one where she just kills it, especially her song called Gravity.
I can vouch for that!^^
What? do you even listen to the radio or tv? She´s really famous! specially songs like love song, king of anything or brave (a song which katy perry copied when she did roar!)
Pretty sure you've heard of her before. Not unless you're in grade school. :P
Perhaps I have, and I just didn't know her name. I haven't been in grade school for decades (maybe I'm just too old?) :)
You have extremely steady camera work!
Thanks :). I have had lots of practice.
I would literally do so much to see her perform live one day...
To cover that song live with no backing track and just a uke is beyond ballsy…loved it.
Too bad there isn't a studio version!
Sia singing this live is amazing - raw, raw, gut wrenching emotion - as you'd expect from the person who wrote the song. But this is equally amazing, just in a different way, and by far the best cover of Chandelier that I have ever heard. Not as raw, but regardless a fantastic combination of technically amazing voice with, brilliant interpretation/emotion that is totally true to the words/intent of the original. Thank you, Sara.
+Lee Fong Well said! And I agree--not as raw. But instead it feels more solitary, which makes it beautifully plaintive.
+mysticsmb It seems to be a lot harder to do it raw, from a vocal perspective. I find myself screeching and cracking the few times I've tried. :/ Sia's vocals are described as wild and insane frequently. So, I'm just guessing that it takes through-the-roof vocal talent or maybe a certain kind voice. Who knows?
I think it's nice because when Sia sings it, it's imperfectly beautiful but Sara can actually hit those crazy notes and that's what is equally beautiful
Yeah, but I think that this song was designed to make the singer's vocals strain.
Loic Nottet does a good cover as well
Not many mortals can do Sia's music justice. Sara just nailed. Goosebump standard.
Mucho respect. Sia is no joke vocally! Nicely done Sara!! ✌
First Sia cover that made me smile. I'm baised because I'm in love with sia's strong vocals but she killed this
Sia tweeted Sara's Chicago performance, so I think she's got the official seal of approval!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THAT CHORUS SOUND MORE PERFECT THAN IT SOUNDED.... WHOAAA
I HAVE HEARD THE COVER OF CHANDELIER BY MANY ARTISTS. SARA MAKES IT HER OWN. YES, YOU ALL HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE, BUT SHE REALLY BRINGS THE POWER WITHIN HER VOICE, AND ILLUSTRATES HOW WELL SHE HAS PERFECTED HER CRAFT IN THIS AMAZING PERFORMANCE! I LOVE THIS COVER! I WOULD HAVE GONE TO HER CONCERT IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA AS RICHMOND IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY! SO CLOSE, BUT SO FAR AWAY IT SEEMS IN LIFE. YOU ARE AMAZING, SARA. YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! BLESSINGS, BEV FROM RICHMOND~~
The audio quality is so good on this. Thank you.
Thanks for recording this
You are welcome. It was a pretty amazing performance.
She lowered the guy, and slowed the tempo, but overall her powerful voice still shined.
its acoutic. what do you expect
People have different ranges. It's completely normal.
I agree.. Sara is amazing and underrated!
5 years later and this is still a spectacular cover and I totally agree she is incredible
Those high notes, wow
I can hear the lyrics here!! And high notes were made for Sara!!
Not sure why there always has to be a debate on which is better. Things can be different and both good in their own right. Also, props to Sara who is always giving credit to other songwriters and paying them the highest compliment by covering their songs, songs that she clearly loves. Is it as raw as Sia does it? No. Is it great? In my humble opinion, yes.
This is jaw dropping.
Anyone who hasn't seen her live, please make sure you do, it was utterly amazing!
The original of this song will always be a favorite of mine but HOLY SHIT Sara kilt this. This cover gave me goosebumps it's that good. She's so underrated but my god I can't stop listening to this. Haters take a walk cause clearly you don't know a perfect voice
I haven't stopped listening to this either!!!
She needs more recognition
Got KZheadd onto this, but she is such a fabulous singer......so good.
My ears are blessed after this
🎁❤️
Everything Sara does is perfect. :)
after watching this i can really jsay that SIA's voice is really unique ! Sara did a really great job singing this song, but SIA's range of voice is one of a kind. totally the best. so far the best cover ive seen
Lulu-sweetie Angel *In the studio* Sia's range is one of a kind. This is live.
mysticsmb Sia's voice not only in the studio is amazing too. one of a kind.
&& Sara is ofc. amazing tooo :D I love her.
Yet to see sia sing it good live.. She can't hit the notes half as good as she does is the "studio"
sia can.
Wtf, I just discovered her today May 02, 2020. How is this even possible that she's not as well known as she should be ffs. The voice is heaven, what a freakin talent. awesome.
Liberal Snowflakes I discovered her 7 years ago and had that exact same feeling. Your comment is pure gold, you’re so right.
She‘s.........I don’t have the word.. I’m speechless 😶 ♥️🥺😭
I need a freaking studio version because this was glorious.
Her originals are out of this world, and she has been a fave female vocalist of mine for awhile. But when Sara covers another artist (Otis Redding, Beyonce, etc and now this) she just adds something and it is always pure magic!
That extra note in her way up to hit that high note tickles my spine like nothing else whoa
This will always be one of my favorite performances by this artist. She goes for it and makes it her own.
Why all the hate? Yes it doesn't sound like Sias' version but it's not meant to. It's a cover. Her own artistic portrayal of the song. I thought she sung beautifully! Stop comparing the versions and see it for what is - an amazing performance (:
Can you believe that l came to love this song a couple of weeks ago after watching sara's cover??? Sara is the best!!!! And yes, Sia Rocks too :) #Chandelier
OMFG she kills it. I'm a counter-tenor so I sing this to keep me sharp. Her whistle tone/ head voice is incredible. Love it. Plus she does it in my birth city!
Many moons later and I'm back to this angel serenading my ears 😍😍😍
This must've been hard but she hit every note😁
Ooo 47 likes😁
Krhodes02 77 likes :D
Krhodes02 NO! 25,200 likes. the likes just keep growing! :D
Sara never disappoints.
She is so beyond talented. Pitch perfect every single freaking time.
Incredibly relatable! That's our girl, Sara! Thank God, she chose to share her intimate & poignant feelings and thoughts with us, set to equally moving music that she writes and performs. Ahh...no words beyond what I've written. I'm in LOVE,and incredibly GRATEFUL, plain & simple. Lastly, THANK YOU, Sara, plain & simply said.
