So cool that Nelly didn’t let ego get in the way of performing along side one of the greatest guitarists of all time. She was as stellar as Vai in this performance. Miss you Nelly Furtado.
The greatness of Vai is this is essentially an acoustic, almost acapella version, and you never think that when you're listening - it sounds like a full band
Sure, Nelly is wonderful, but Steve Vai is one of, if not the, most underrated guitarists of our generation. Sure, we all know who he is, and we all know that he is a brilliant guitarist, but this man should be held in high company alongside Hendrix, Gibbons and Van Halen.
@@chrisjames6327 Yes, my statement is true. If not for the movie crossroads, most ppl would not know him. He is deathly underrated. Its not just me. There are tons of web stories dedicated to how much more well known he should be. And, just bc you know him, doesn't mean everyone else does.
@@RumbleFish69he is pretty well known in the guitar community, so he's not underrated there. As for public, there's just a few that you could actually name to them and actually know who they are: Slash, EVH, Santana, Jimo Hendrix, maybe Chuck Berry and George Harrison. So he might underrated for the public but on the guitar community he's actually well respected
@madden7732 The guitar community is not what I am referring to, and I think I that was obvious. Steve Vai himself has said on more than one occasion that he doesn't feel he's reached the same level of recognition and notoriety as many of his peers, which is why I say that he's underrated. I agree with his statement. Today, you can say the names: Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, shit, even Stanley Clarke, and people will know these names. But Steve Vai, to this day, will get the occasional "Who's that?" And that, my friend, is what underrated means. I am aware that he is well-respected, but being respected is something else entirely, and I never said that he wasn't respected. I respect the man tremendously myself. I met him at Sunset Studios in 1986, and he even walked into our recording session briefly. This man heard me play and said that I was pretty good, so I will respect him for life.
Many people just straight give up when they realize the vast chasm between their disjointed little guitar licks and the extreme technical mastery of the Jonas brothers guitar compositions. Even someone like Hendrix would basically have been better off playing with one of those five-key rainbow xylophone keyboard toys for toddlers than to try to pick up a guitar in the presence of the Jonas brothers.
came for vai...stayed for vai. I dunno, it would have sounded better with Steve's Fan blowing :( Perfect! stevieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I´m in love. With both of them.

time when artists still write real music! missed those days! aint gonna happen again
Two of us are always welcome to come over for Christmas present for you loads of my original 🌹 book of life in the care industry only myself period.
Perfection!
This is PURE PERFECTION! I wish that GOOD guitarist would accompany singers like this nowadays...
Steve mad a jammer, a real fuckin jammer even more jamery. That mf can make a guitar sing. He's one of the most underrated GOATs of all time.
He's a very good rhythm player also
Love how Steve incorporated some Hendrix style in the rhythm playing.
I didn't notice Nelly Furtado
I dig Steve, but I've always felt like his playing was super busy during this performance. He needed to give the vocalist more room to breathe.
Two legends.
2023 still watching..
Always come back to this gem from time to time.
Nice cold evening in NewZealand watching this very performance as a kid ,memories 👌 🥹

Te amo❤
Just another guitar Show Off with No true Feeling. He butchers this song.
One of the more beautiful collaborations between pop artists and legendary guitarists.
Steve Vai la légende !!! ;)
You are a bird really ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️👍
This is my favorite version
Hoje esse som é meu e teu.......

Why-huh-wait what the fuck is Steve doing there?
Puro talento ..sin autotune
Vai...👏👏👏
I sang this version on stage while back, the best version, brings back memories 💙
This is a gift from god.

Vai is probably the most famous guitarist of his generation, bro. Underrated?

I don't think he's underrated in the least. Many guitarists, including myself, would say he's surpassed the other guys you listed.
Amazing!!
Nelly Furtado..❤
Amazing and sweet version..😍
2021!!!
In case you didn't know, the guy with the guitar has INFINITELY more talent than the chick singing.
Sing it sister
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NELLY!
Always loved this rendition ✌
This is awsome only for Steve Vai
Is anyone able to just isolate Vai's playing here? It's genius
No surprise there, given he is actually genius.
2020 y me sigue pareciendo está canción una obra maestra
Steve vai 😍
I dunno the guitar player is okay but he’s got a long ways to go before he can catch up to the chops of the Jonas brothers guitar style

Lol
@@valebliz that's a good one
Can't fathom why people use their love if Vai to disrespect Nelly Furtado. They worked well together.
It's what Vai would want. He is smiting her with his misogynistic guitar licks. Raping her, in fact.
@@nightshadegatito get a grip.
sh2master you sound like a piece of SHIT. Lol get a life instead of writing garbage low life
Well, technically speaking Vai is a better musician than Nelly.
In glorious 480p!!!!
2020 and we're here!
@gannon35782024 and still here
Doesn't feel like it fits Vai at all..
Same heree
Vai, proving beyond a shadow of doubt, that he can play melodically, beautifully.
2020
Awesome intro Steve u da man
OK, everybody knows Steve Vai, but who is she?
came for vai...stayed for vai. I dunno, it would have sounded better with Steve's Fan blowing :( Perfect! stevieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I´m in love. With both of them.
