    Hei. Helt nydelig sang. Kjempe rørt. Får mye følelser i kroppen min. Tenker på min lille engel Kristian som jeg var så kjempe glad i. Jeg elsket han mye høyere enn meg selv. Jeg kommer aldri, aldri til å glemme det blide og gode ansiktet hans. Jeg savner han veldig mye. Han kommer alltid å være hos meg i minnene, i hjertet mitt. Tusen hjertelig takk for hjelpen du gir meg gjennom sangene dine. Du virker som et godt menneske med mye følelser. Klem fra mamma Bente

  • @egoijtep
    @egoijtep 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    what I liked about this version is that he rearranged it so that there's a bridge between the 2nd and last verse. In a sense, if a singer does that, it provides the song some time to build up to a much more intense last verse that serves the purpose as the climax of the song/performance. Although he didn't take it down that road, by putting a bridge there opens up so much more possibilities to a much more brilliant performance, instead of the regular Roberta Flack dynamics that everyone is following.

    • @hecate235
      @hecate235 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      lol He doesn't have a Masters in Music from the Royal College of Music for nothing, you know. But thank James Morgan too, who did the arrangements for this album and the tour.
      Really, there is no one else out there like him.

  • @barbarastewart8066

    Well for me was Roberta Flack. OMG! Now I love Alfie, but this one is Roberta's song. But Alfie you still cannot go wrong. Kudos

    This was written by Ewan MacColl, in 1957, a British song writer. Roberta Flack made it popular in 1972.

    • @meium
      @meium 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Gen Wefella I love when people know that. When Matt Cardle sang it on X factor, it was American night. Call me pedantic, it might have been popularised by an American, but it was written by an English folk singer.

    @Charwoman 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I agree, i think Roberta Flack's version is the definitive, but any singer can put their own mark on it. I liked Alfie's version.

    @squirtyflower P.S.: And as I said before, it's not just the voice, I prefer this arrangement, too. Really like the strings.
    Btw,, really nice close-ups. Good job filming the clips. Maybe you should apply to tape all Alfie's concerts.

  • @squirtyflower
    @squirtyflower  12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Are you comparing it to the "song" or live concert version? I have seen George live a few times and the emotion he puts into the song is amazing. If you are comparing a you tube video, then you are not really giving either artist a real chance, you need to see them both live, then make a comparison...

  • @hecate235
    @hecate235 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @squirtyflower Oh, come on, that's hardly fair! I'd have to see both George and Alfie live in concert before I'm qualified to comment on them? lol Since I live in the States that's a pretty tall order. And since an artist can have as many takes as he likes to get a track right, cds are just as valid as concerts (maybe more so) . i like George. But I'll still take Alfie, thankyouverymuch.

  • @hecate235
    @hecate235 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @squirtyflower Have to disagree w you. Listened to George Michaels' version, and it's good. But I prefer this arrangement (it's the strings). And if I had to choose, right now Alfie is slightly ahead of Roberta.

  • @123weslyn
    @123weslyn 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't know George Michael ever sang this song, I guess maybe in concert. To hear it sung from the heart one need to listen to Elvis Presley sing it, will take your breath away. Tho Alfie certainly seems to be doing an excellent job, I 'm not acquainted with his type of music.
