    Sir Elton John: "I was so blown away by the version of Yellow Brick Road. I've never heard anyone sing one of my songs like that ever. I can't thank you enough, giving your time and blowing my mind with that version. Because when someone sings your songs they usually copy you and she made it her own. That's brilliant--it's a hard song."

You have a hypothesis, that people like the ordinary, now prove it wrong. I wish her performances were more well known too, so I share them with my friends. But also, part of why she's not as well known as some modern performers is because of her. Her style does not cater to the experience that most concert goers are looking for: pyrotechnics, elaborate dancing, or some other gimmick (and no you cannot just blame Katy Perry or Ariana Grande for sewing those seeds. Think of all the famous bands that went nuts with the showmanship.) That's just not her way, and that's okay. Don't confuse your attempt to elevate yourself with cynicism.

    What separates Elton John and Sara Bereilles from the rest of us mortals isn't merely their singing and instrumental skills. What really does it is the emotion they pour into their songs. His version is more defiant, her's sounds more anguished. In either case it is someone giving up their dream and going home after finding they cannot or will not thrive in the world they sought.

    Sara gives a great performance. Any experienced trained musician can explain why this is so good in so many words how she does it with such beautiful expression. Tone quality( knowing when to be subtle with head voice or when to belt using chest voice) precise intonation, appropriately applied dynamic nuance, careful vowel shaping on each syllable, carefully arranged orchestral backup that compliments everything she does vocally without being too much. Everything done with both precision and emotional control. Simple yet exquisitely beautiful yet modestly tasteful attire does not visually distract the listener.

    Exactly! I surely don't have perfect pitch or anything, but when she meets the same note as the violins with all that raw energy PERFECTLY, all the elements of the song become one in an instant. If you don't immediately get tears in your eyes then you just don't love music!

    Besides pure talent, which Sara has in spades, what I love about her is that instead of resting on talent alone, you can see hard she has worked at her craft. Her breath control alone, is astounding. I see people comment all the time about how she should be “bigger” or “more famous” than she is. And she could be, if she wanted to go the pop star route. Clearly she is looking for something more, and she is achieving it. She has integrity not seen often in mainstream music. When it is all said and done I think she will be relevant long after most of today’s “stars” have faded.

    Maybe spare some kudos for Bernie Taupin, who wrote these words: When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing, the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then? I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road

    After becoming addicted to this video, I couldn't help but fall in love with her. I'd only heard Love Song, which was terrific (I'm a 40 year pianist, myself) and fun to play, then a few years pass and I sort of stumbled across this about a week ago, and.....WOW! The magical droning of the chord progressions, and Sara's captivating & heartfelt vocals made my hair stand straight up! This talented lady took a song from decades back, and breathed new life into it. I especially loved the ending, when she kind of short cut into the Db, Eb & F to take it home beautifully. I'm in awe. Thank you, Sara!! We want more!!
