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."

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.

@@madwhitehare3635 this song is in 4-4 time which means in each bar has 4 quarter beats so she is not only exhaling to the count of 20, but she's modulating the air moving through her vocal cords at varying rates of speed making the notes higher or lower and at varying rates depending on how close the notes are in the vocal run. It's incredibly difficult what she's doing and it's on par with some of the greatest opera singers, in my humble opinion. 🙂

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.

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.

My favorite song by Elton John... much of the song she matches the quality of the original. The rest of the song she absolutely sends into the stratosphere - omg what a perfect voice.

Absolutely love this lady! ❤❤ She sings from the heart, always! She is the best female artist of today!❤

She conveys emotion yet controlled, ability to start and end a song delicately yet have power (03:12 is beautifully done), to reinterpret the song yet honour it, this is a solo performer at her piano yet complimented by the orchestra. I am as in awe and emotionally uplifted by this as when initially stopped in my tracks a dozen listenings ago. For a slightly different performance, see her solo kzread.info/dash/bejne/ga6YlMyaZ9Cnl7A.html

What bi1ruben said ^^^^^ here performances are just about as pure as any can be in terms of emotion, ability and sincerity. A brightly shining light.

Never fully understood these lyrics on an emotional level until I heard her version. Thank you Sarah.

As many have mentioned Angelina Jordan (no kidding and it doesn't surprise me!!!), I've been listening to different simgers' versions of this song. There is a part of me that wonders how one can separate AJ on AGT and Gala, who won Belgiums Got Talent. Then I come here and listen to Sara, and I'm just blown away with this performance. Not only does she have a nice voice (no cackling!!), but this arrangement is just so professional and classy. I really enjoyed this.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you cover a song! Outstanding!!

Sara is an angel.

Angelina Jordan looks like an angel in her voice and stage present.

Every time I hear this version , I love it more.

Sara is a true professional and extremely talented. Proud to be a dedicated fan!!

I know now that my husband has an exquisite taste in music. lol He loves Elton's version of this song, keeps playing it every effin' day. I never really understood the song and why he liked it til I heard this version of Sara. 😁💕

3:09 just mind blowing
