Wow, that was a remarkable performance ! I hadn't heard Cindi sing this before and was rather sceptical as I feared hearing a botched version of a beautiful song. I need not have feared - a beautiful cover. Thanks for taking the trouble of posting.

I've never been a fan of hers (I'm still not one) but she almost made me cry with this performance the first time I saw it, she gave it all. And this was less than a month after 9/11, so I was also very touched by her words at the beginning

It's kind of weird to think about this song with its insane lyrics being sung in Central Park right after 9/11. It probably in a way felt pretty appropriate to the bewildering feeling of the moment.

To call her a poor singer just shows how ignorant you are - look up live performances such as I'm Gonna Be Strong and then try to say the same thing... you'll only end up looking ridiculous. Plus - this is a tribute! Hardly shows a lack of inspiration, just shows a love for one of her favourite bands. If you knew anything about her work you would not be implying that she is uninspired.

@untoldsarcasm16 жыл бұрын
If you had simply said that you didn't like her voice then that would have been fine, but whether she is a poor singer or not is not exactly subjective. She's NOT a poor singer, but she may have a voice that is not to everyone's taste, it's a simple as that. It was a cheap attack by someone who clearly had no knowledge of the artist in question and was a bit butthurt that they dared to sing a Beatles song.

I listened to your suggestion "I'm Gonna Be Strong". It's a bit of a Celine Dion song, musically and lyrically not very interesting. Her voice however is better than in Strawberry Fields, but it's not as good/strong as the voice of for instance Sinead O'Connor or Janis Joplin, sorry.
@akoppen16 жыл бұрын
Objectivity of a fan is dificult to interpret. That's the problems with fans. I like singers myself who aren't really good singers, and it's no big deal for me. And to call me ignorant at the same time shows your ignorance as well, so we apparently are both ignorant (I don't mind).
