Well put Dean. I have just recorded the song myself on my YT channel. I used to be in awe when I heard it all those years ago.

anna maz

It is a music piece that involves the whole world's people..

Yeah hats off to hayley for attempting this classic song, she did a great job, I am a massive fan of Kate Bush and I appreciated hayleys version greatly

If I knew I couldn't sing the song I wouldn't even try

Let's clear up this debate because it's getting boring, anyone who thinks hayley westenra cannot sing beautifully is absolutely totally 100% tone deaf

I can't get it, she sings it amazingly. Plus, she's really gorgeous, but that's a different matter :-D

It is bad, it really is, no soul & heart in it at all, Kate Bush was mesmerising & unique singing this, these covers are really pale imitations.

I today got exposed this book and this song and i crying ever since .

Nice 😱😉

That's kind of awful. Heathcliff was a terrible person, so was Cathy. Stick to Heath.

@@vaskylark agreed. Or else why would they betray amirite?

@baby jesus And so do you bro no homo

It really isn't possible. Kate can't even perform it now that her voice has matured!

@我爱你我爱你 Are you for real

@我爱你我爱你 That's your opinion not mine

Without exception!👍♥️

It's not possible ,I sing this & all the Kate Bush's 1st & 2nd albums at age of 54 & almost all of them w/ 90 to 95% full voice !!! But, this one is very difficult amongth all very difficult ones of hers ,even Kate sounded a bit creepy whenever she sung this song herself back then ! It's a haunting love story if anyone has read the original book ,or the black/ white movies ! She did good ( did 't go off or anything ) ,but her voice doesn't marry this aong well .

Check out Angra's cover then

take a listen to pat benatar's version.....she brings the octave down out of the rafters.....i love all the versions, wuthering heights is one of my favorite books, and KB brought it to life in song.... ♥

Laura Bunting did a great job also ,another kiwi ,she did a cover on the voice Australia & it was so well liked it put Kate,s original song back in the top 10 au charts...

@@BrianGriffin83 HaHa So funny. I just did and it was so terrible. Truly the worst and the best at the same time.

@@BrianGriffin83 Try Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's version

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ieCngqSb37i7Z6s.html&ab_channel=AnnaMaz try this

No one other has n't really even dared to sing this, and that tells something. But there is always a littele nyances in art when you compare someones own creation and presentation to any other ever.

This version is my favorit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7NgodGdlp6XpZc.html&start_radio=1&rv=-1pMMIe4hb4

Para mi lo ha clavado, y superado, aunque Kate Bush se hiciera a un lado este ser adorable tomo el relevo y ganó❤❤❤

The original was awesome, this is half baked shite.

I realy hope, she got no balls! 😉 But, well, the performance is great!

Pat Benatar's version is good also.

@@louisserra452 Benatar’s version is FAR superior to this

@carstengler escucha la versión de André Matos de la banda Angra.

"Don't think she can sign this way also today." What did you mean by that?

I usually don't reply to nicklnames. Nicknames are cowards. However what I said is clear. Ten years later she hasn't the same vocal extension, and this is natural. As well as Kate Bush does.

Sergio Bonfiglio ok thanks!

+Sergio Bonfiglio I saw her live last week. I promise she still sings it amazingly. ;-)

I'm so glad to hear it.

And the operatically-trained Pat Benatar.

Mesmerising is the word & it's Kate Bush that makes it mesmerising.

She's history, like your comment

Kate wrote it when she was 12 top trumps 😝

Yes & from a tiny island at the bottom of the world NZ .

AMAZ0NGIRL ride with the devil

Is not emulated, is in her own way , soft Ritmic notes.

It's nowhere near great, it's a lifeless & rushed hash piece.

@@eddy4688 Really? She at least has some voice and tone. And what is the original? A squeaky voice I couldn't stand even when I was a kid!

people really didn't like this? guess talent isn't for everybody

@@papajohnloki The real talent was the original.

@@eddy4688 of course it was and not saying other wise

I believe she can, please send her the red dress and I'll prepare the broom and the witch hat 😁💃💃

omfg coming back to this video randomly after years to find someone else came back here doing the same thing and left this here just for me it feels.

Are you for real

Bet she could😄😄😄

I'll admit my first time seeing Kate sing it in the video I was kinda confused that it was a hit. This woman sings it very well and I can appreciate the song itself more, but I do miss the dancing bit now that I've learned more about Kate via BBC documentary. I'd only ever heard Running up that hill before tonight.

Red Leader playz No Diego is right. I love this cover and her interpretation

Well said.

I agree. You can tell that these people who make these comments are not singers and musicians. I am a singer and guitarist.

I totally agree with everything you just wrote. However, the original is so much better, meaning that this version is worse.

Should be impossible to cover this song, but she really nails it, impressed I am

they don't hate the song, these idiots are so accustomed to hearing a screeching version YES I SAID SCREECHING that when a new artist covers it they like a LITTLE CHEESE with THEIR WHINE

Yes! Finally someone understands.

Amen to both of you

Também gosto na voz do André Matos, Angra.

Soltou a voz e arrebentou. Gravou na alma!

Mexeu com a minha infância! Cara, mas que arranjo perfeito e afinação perfeita! Benza Deus! Voltei a ter 3 anos agora com essa pérola musical

Ouçam a Anna Maz, vencedora do Canta Comigo da Record, perfeita também.

Se lembra propaganda cigarros Hollywood nos anos 80 mostraba imagen asa delta no ar.. dizendo ao sucesos con Hollywood tinga esta música de fondo

good Point

no F U!!!! :D

People aren't really being rude. Sure, they could word it better but this is one of those songs that, really, noone is going to be able to sing anywhere near as well as Kate Bush. Everything sounds like a poor kareoke version in comparison, no matter how good the artist.

Well, she certainly didn’t make it her own; so she is covering Kate which cannot be done

What utter arrogance to think that...she..can do this. REALLY REALLY BAD...murderously bad in fact

OK. I will say "otherwise".

Pat Benatar knocked this song out of the park; even Kate was gobsmacked.

Mania28 nobody's hating everyone is entitled to a opinion. The only notable difference is Kate got the moves.

yes Kate is true

Everyone has a special song in their life, it's on Kate Bush's song that I met my wife in 1978, we both loved it, it was a good starting point for this beautiful and unique song.

trha2222 funny ha ha :-)

you are wrong obviously

she sung it yes,

john bethell Kate Bush wrote this song when she was 17 years old. She then released it as a single when she was 19 years old. That was over 30 years ago. Haley Westenra is just covering this song 30 years after it was written and sung by Kate Bush first.

Kate wrote this song at 12 years old!

squarepants49 try 16

I like her and her song. No disrespect to the original.

I love it too.

i loved it so much too!

Ahh, from the comments I got the impression that everyone seemed to hate it. Glad to see I'm not alone in liking it.

Pete Kelly Damn, you are too kind, where do you find the time? I hope you don't mind my saying that typing in all caps like that really makes you look intelligent and well spoken.

+sweetsparrow and moreover i am not impressed

No woman can judge another woman. Hayley has deep feelings they are deep as yours wtf do you think she´s a robot or what?

A woman can judge whoever she wants to. But if you don't have reading comprehension you should not answer other people's comments . I didn' t say she has not feelings. I said she didn't capture the emotions of the song. It is a sad song, about a desperated ghost who cames to take his lover to hell. You cannot sing ' I hated you" with a smile in your face. As you cannot sing "Tears in heaven" with a happy face.

the problem is, you are presenting your subjective opinion as if it were "fact". - like americans and brits arguing over what constitutes "good" comedy. music, like art, is interpreted by the beholder. ... and judging by applause, she did a very good job. this is a live performance. Hayley does have a music video, too. v=gUuWv36OCzM

Virginia Jiménez So you think she has to have the perfect facial expression while singing the lines that meaning much for you. Seems you know nothing about the human nature. A human can feel ill and still smile a human can feel well and cry. No human has ever the perfect facial expression to its feelings. Only a robot can do that and that is it what you want a perfect puppet who looks and sounds exactly like you want it. But Hayley is no puppet she´s alive and she has her own feelings. Your judgement is extremely unfair you judge because you don´t like her facial expression that disqualifies you completely. I recommend you one thing - go on stage if you can find an audience of lets say ten people and sing that song. Record that and then watch your facial expression. You´d be surprised how improper it is even though you felt exactly the right spirit. Now imagine Hayley who is standing before an audience of thousands of people. Imagine the pressure on her if she makes the slightest mistake a mistake we can not even realize but she can. If you had the slightest bit of empathy you could never judge like you do

Hayley is out of her depth with this one. (emotion-wise, not vocally)

nao eh comparar, é que uma é mais legal que a outra ... todas sao boas ... eu gosto dessa kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mOByh8ua1Jq2YIE.html

kate has. she's just a too airy wrong tempo version

@@brunobution6367 Hayley Westenra is a Lyric singer... she has an amazing voice and not any singer is able to sing a lyric music....

@@rafacityx well still she was unable to pull off wuthering heights no matter how mad u are her version was a huge no period.

@@brunobution6367 bad that's just your opinion, no matter how mad you are!

@@brunobution6367 Kate Bushes range is more limited and she mispronounces many words badly due to wrong timing and lack of broadness in her voice. But she composed it and is a very good songwriter and thus a more versatile artist.
