@@cuivre2004The crazy lady vibe was imo essential to give the song the haunting rough wildness.....that Kate captured to the t. This version is for me at least too smooth and normal. The original version of Kate in the white gown with that sharp piercing voice and those ghost like flowing moves is unmatched.....at least for me.

I have been a Kate Bush fan ever since I saw her for the 1st time on "Saturday Night Live". She sung "Them Heavy People" and later in the show sang " The Man With The Child In His Eyes" LIVE. I bought the "Kick Inside" LP the next day and just loved everything she did. That being said... Hayley is a very good singer, I see this as a very nice cover. The musicians on this were spot on, and have a really nice sound. I certainly can not hit those notes, so bravo to all who try it. Music is what it is to YOU.

I first heard this song in 1978 when Kate Bush appeared on television in Canada. Having read Wuthering Heights four times, it had become my favourite book. I absolutely loved the dark story, and couldn't believe how Kate had captured the wildness, the obsession, the desperation, the overly consuming love story between Cathy and Heathcliff in her song. Her appearance, her dancing, her arm movements, but mostly the ethereal sound of her voice and the lyrics just drew me in. I became a huge Kate Bush fan and bought all her albums. She is an enormous talent, and there is no one like her. However, I will say that Hayley's vocals on this song are top notch, really very beautiful, but I am always going to favour Kate Bush's version.
@cynthiabeltran16802 ай бұрын
I agree with you in terms of recreating Cathy in a song. Her voice and image must be ethereal, but there is an aspect which is also valid: The seductive aspect of death. There was a great passion between Cathy and Heathcilff. You find seduction in this version which recalls that tremendous passion between the main charaters of Emily Brontë's novel. In the original song Kate Bush recreates Cathy exactly as she appears in the novel: Ethereal, beyond this world. As to the vocals, perfect tones: Hayley Westenra treats each note with a great respect. This is the ideal song for a soprano ligera. Other versions are not esoterical (image) or correct (high-pitched tones.)
@singtweetypie2 ай бұрын
@@cynthiabeltran1680 I appreciate your comments. I found it very special that Emily Bronte and Kate Bush share the same birthday (July 30th) and that Kate was only 18 when she wrote "Wuthering Heights', the approximate age of Cathy's death in the novel. However, Kate was only 13 when she wrote 'The Man with the Child in His Eyes ' which I find astonishing. She is such an incredible and unique talent.

@brianhyde59007 жыл бұрын
Megan Rasmussen I understand. And yes you might be right about the range. I will compare with Hayleys version which I also like very much and which is why I asked why you do. The reason I mentionecd Kate's writing of the song is because being her idea she best can present her intention behind it. But of course, that does not mean that it is not open to interpretation. Any composition is. And sometimes those who interpret a picce make a marvellous version of it. For example (at least for me), Melanie' rendition of Ruby Tuesday (showing my age, lol) .
@thegonz97 жыл бұрын

@ricric95217 жыл бұрын
Nope. This one lacks emotion, drama and sense for story of the song. That can't compare to Kate's. Listen again. Music is more than just the notes and how well they are executed. I don't think Kate's immense allure and popularity is or was based her technical singing ability.

She bangs on the window to Wuthering Heights, hoping Heathcliff will invite her in from the cold(and forgive her), or lovingly join her spirit out on the Moors(where they use to play as children) when he dies. It's taken from the first few chapters of the book. She died young after marrying Heathcliff's rich rival Edgar out of money. Lockwood comes to the house and stays the night with the older Heathcliff. He sees the sad ghost banging on the windows. Lockwood then tells her tragic story.

Why are people always criticising covers? If Hayley Westenra wants to sing Wuthering Heights, that's because she is an admirer of Kate Bush, just like the majority of people who is watching the video. Of course the original has a very particular environment, and magic, that no one can surpass, but that doesn't make this one is bad. Both are just different interpretations.
