well, Nikki her singing and appearance is mesmerizing as always😍but I surely have to agree on the backing vocals too, their voices match together perfectly. Well done lads!! hats off. And btw that guitar solo sounded sublime too! what a nice sound!
HSCC is a complete package. Best cover band here or even outside youtube. This is too easy for Nikki, Her Heart cover is outstanding, way better than my favorite Kat...lol
Darren Mullan, I do not know how you do it. You find the best available music talent in South Australia. Such a wonderful performance and this Lady, Nikki wow as good as if not better than Shania.
Shania Twain’s producers looking over like: “how’d they figure out how to mix the backing vocals like we do?!”. Spot on as always in every part, and I’m glad to see Darren on piano and presumably mixing too.
Nikki is just perfect. What a voice, what a vibe, what a beauty! Just putting so much love out into the world every day. A special human being on every level
Brilliant rendition of this song. EPIC BACKING VOCALS!!! - Mutt Lange would be super proud of those! Lead vocal was insanely good, guitar solo just perfect - everyone played so well and I love seeing the fun you're all having. This is the real deal!
Epic indeed why do think the keyboard player moves his right hand down below for the chorus? I'll tell you - to add synthesized voices. You honestly think 3 guys can sound that way naturally?
Nikki, Darren and all of you, this was clean and mixed perfectly. Guitar solo was perfect, the whole song communicated the original message, you're still the one. Love you guys...Greetings from Florida.
The lead vocal is really lovely, many subtle aspects (for example at 1:31). The backing vocals are however absolutely fabulous/fantastic. I really really love this
Love the look Nikki gives Darren at the end like "did I do good?" Darren's look back is "oh hell yeah, you nailed it" What amazing talent, been hooked on them since HSCC!
Nikki is such a beautiful woman with an amazing talent… but she also radiates warmth and kindness whenever I watch her. It’s always such a pleasure and an honour 🥰 Amazing backing vocals… and what a treat to have Stefan singing too! You’re all amazing… 🤩🫶🏼
I’ve been a session musician and songwriter for 60 years. This is the absolute pinnacle - particularly for a cover. Darren & Co., you guys continue to amaze this old guitar player. You have no more ardent fan than yours truly. Ultimate respect!
*I had to post this note! Stefan Hauk simply ROCKS the Telecaster solo!!! Perfectly adds his talents to take the recording to an incredible level! It’s like he’s backing up Shania on tour. I’ve seen her in Chicago and he can rock with any guitarist she brought on the road with her! So GOOD-ON to him! Amazing musician!*
@@stefan_hauk *DUDE! But like all great musicians, you have the chops to step up when it’s time to ROCK! I went back to see what other songs you played on! Like the Eye of the tiger and Stop dragging my heart around. I have to apologize for not posting comments earlier! You have some serious CHOPS!*
Holy S**** , the singer is totally amazing, but let's talk about the backing vocals 😱😱 I knew Stefan's talent but, God, he is totally incredible there. All the band has my admiration. Hugs from Brazil!
What a singer and what a woman. Nikki makes everyone feel as though she is only singing to them personally,now that is real talent. Thanks Nikki, you are so special !!!😍
Look, there are thousands of quality singers out there, but Nikki is not just one of those. There is a very, very special quality to her voice which puts her in a different class. She is a top-notch singer. I could listen to her all day long. This was truly an excellent performance.
Backing vocals were soooo beautiful! I would have turned them up even louder. Nikki is always totally amazing. The Tele solo with echo was REALLY SWEET!
In case you haven’t yet, someday you’ll realize how inspiring you guys have been for lots of musicians all around the globe. At least you are for our band. Congratulations!! Best regards from Argentina!!
*WOW !!! Another great studio recording! Ms. Nikki shows us what a GREAT singer can do with a country song! Stefan Hauk nails the guitar solo! I’ve seen Shania in concert in Chicago. And this recording and performance is equally as great! It’s amazing to me how 3 knucklehead’s singing background vocals in a basement can sound like it was recorded in Nashville! Good-on to their talent! It always seems what comes out of Darren’s basement is giving the original recording a run for it’s money! But that’s no surprise really, he’s a BRILLIANT PRODUCER! And absolutely love the Country wardrobe Ms. Nikki graces with! But Darren needs a Cowboy hat! Get with the program - DUDE! If Nikki is sporting the white fringe, get some down-under alligator boots!*
Nikki bringing it every time. She replicates the original version of each song to perfection. And totally agree with others...the backing vocals add so much to the cut.
Absolutely love this version. Great production with terrific vocals as always, but the standout piece was the lead guitar. The tone was stunning and melodically perfect for the song. 🇬🇧
Listening in Windsor Ontario Canada , where the beautiful Shania was born !!!! Great cover !!! Vocal s are awesome !!!! This girl can sing !!!!!!! Thumbs up !!!!!!
I've just run accidently into your video today and as an experienced and educated musician that spent 30 years on the stage playing cover tunes, being extremely picky, my score for your rendition of this song is 10/10. Back up vocals are just as good as lead vocals that is amazing and very impressive. Great guitar solo with perfect selection of notes. Overall great sound, musical skills and feel for music, as well as a great stage presence. I've posted your video on my Fb profile page. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Nikki added a softened breathy element and made it SOOO MUCH BETTER. Woman, you are simply peerless! And those vocals, fellas, harmony was sublime. Well done Darren, YOU ARE STILL THE ONE! Recognize the space, There's no place like home! 💖 #homestudio #hsccrefugees #bestcoverband and then some!
Darren! Not only are you a talented musician and arranger but you know how to put a group of people together that delivers beautiful music! Thanks 👍 Vocals are perfect!
A crystal-clear vocal by the talented Nikki, a cathedral of choral backing vocals - and can we get a 'hell yeah' for the Hauk-ster! Entirely pleased to see Darren looking like the cat that got the cream - he certainly has the cream of the crop here, and his exceptional production is the cherry on top.
It really doesn’t matter whether I like the artist being covered or not. When I see something new from this incredible group of musicians - especially if Nikki & Stefan are playing - I click!
I worked security at a Shania Twain concert in the 1990's in Nashville TN. Guarding her quick change "room" (curtain box) next to the stage. Great show, great song, great job by Sing it Live.
Additionally, Darren you do such a remarkable job keeping the engineering and sound production to a perfect minimum. No clutter. no big equipment set ups and no wasted resources. I notice this with all your productions with HSCC. Your, "less is more" approach is indispensable in making all of your productions a pleasure to watch and hear.
*Ms. Nikki !!! Having seen Shania live in Chicago… You are worth every comparison to Shania that the internet community can throw your way! You have such a beautiful voice! It’s amazing to me to see the group of KNUCKLEHEADS that Darren keeps pumping out HIT after HIT recordings every week! When I say KNUCKLEHEADS I’m speaking of course in the highest regards of course… where the musicians simply are playing their ass’s off on their tracks in front of one of the BEST VOICES to come out of South Australia!!! Yea, that’s a chore, NOT, standing in front of Ms. Nikki and getting to play on one of her tracks!*
What's not to love about this performance? Beautiful vocal performance by Nikki? Check. Great backing vocals? Check. Awesome guitar solo by Stefan? Check. Production quality that is outstanding? Check.
Great to see the band is back together! Miss you guys. Loved Stefan solo! Keep it coming, Nikki, Darren, Michael, Damien, Cameron, Stefan, Zoran, Mahalo from Hawall
Ok...so Nikki - you're spirit is so beautiful! Darren - buddy - have loved your work for a while now. Don't know guitarist guys, but both of you continue to bring excellence! Bass man...keep it up. Drummer - solid! Im a fan for sure!!
Darren, I could listen to your productions and group of musicans all day everyday, all so talanted, with the bonus of Nikki to look at what could be better.
Top quality work by ALL! Nikki with the beutiful voice, and Stefan Hauk on the electric guitar doing his thing effortlessly, and then there's Darren doing what he does! Great Job!
I love hearing Nikki cover all these other women, which she has been doing all this time - and wonderfully. When are we going to hear her recording her own song?
Those backing vocals.... pure as a good Jameson Irish Whiskey.
OMG - that's what hit me too. Incredible vocal performance all around.... spot on mix as always Darren!
Not a big whiskey fan, but I need to try Jameson if it’s THAT good.
Yup. Back-up singing is a hallmark of Darren. He knows what he's doing.
I'd love to know what effects and EQ were used on the backing vocals. Any chance of sharing?
Whiskey ...!! Hmmm
The guitar solo is world class
The backing vocals are world class too
@@jeffb555 Couldn't agree more
The guitar solo was pretty much perfect.
Guitar solo is goosebumps ❤
Preciosa versión,músicos de clase mundial, y Niki espectacular.!
Backing vocals blew it outa the park! Brilliant all round performance.
well, Nikki her singing and appearance is mesmerizing as always😍but I surely have to agree on the backing vocals too, their voices match together perfectly. Well done lads!! hats off.
And btw that guitar solo sounded sublime too! what a nice sound!
great musician sounds great
HSCC is a complete package. Best cover band here or even outside youtube. This is too easy for Nikki, Her Heart cover is outstanding, way better than my favorite Kat...lol
@@alfanovanta thanks so much.
Harmonizer…?
I love this band gd luck guys
Nikki Heuskos vocals are always mesmerizing.
Two words: Stefan Hauk. Never let him go Darren🙏
Thanks Maurice!
@@stefan_hauk Big fan. Keep it up.
Stefan's low cut guitar playing is mesmerising!
I love Nikki's vocals and stage presence, but the backing vocals took this one to new heights. Thank you!
Australia's Finest Female Singer! Nikki, You Killed it!!!! A Steel Pedal Guitar would have completed it. Thanks to ALL!!
True
That would be ONJ, but whatever.
@@capswing8055 Your Correct!! I was thinking as a "Cover" Singer. Though She Nails O.N.J. also!!
Greg Blanch for that pedal steel.
Darren Mullan, I do not know how you do it. You find the best available music talent in South Australia. Such a wonderful performance and this Lady, Nikki wow as good as if not better than Shania.

@@olefarmboy3325 right hand was playing the organ chords I believe.
Organ part 😉
@@olefarmboy3325 I have explained how I mix this in more than one reply. It’s not a trick
Nikki has a beautiful voice. All of us on TH-cam know that. The band Sing It Live has always made and still makes a difference among the others...
Nikki, Darren and all of you, this was clean and mixed perfectly. Guitar solo was perfect, the whole song communicated the original message, you're still the one. Love you guys...Greetings from Florida.
Thanks Barry!
Definitely agree, Barry. Well noted
yeah the production of this is superb, every performance brilliant but the final production is to die for
props for that killer clean lead solo
Thanks so much.
Every single time Nikki's beautiful voice gets Darren's magic mix, it's instant endless repeat for me.
So much talent!
Let the love flow
They visibly have a special bond.
Stand out band to the superb backing, Nikki's outstanding vocals and charisma and Stefan's
stunning solo. Just brilliant all round!
I don't think even Vince Gill could lay down a Tele solo much better than Stefan's on this song.
The lead vocal is really lovely, many subtle aspects (for example at 1:31). The backing vocals are however absolutely fabulous/fantastic. I really really love this

Sooo true
May be but I saw her first.
Agree, she's great! This is a beautiful song, performed beautifully by a beautiful woman.
Nikki is probably the sweetest and most genuine person around, with enormous talent into the bargain.

Agree. Definitely could / can tell his absence since the HSCC split 🙁.
How Nikki takes a song, makes it hers, and brings heart and soul to each rendition is nothing short of a miracle.
🙏🏽♥️
She sounds better than shania.
Go nikki
One of the best guitar breaks to that song I’ve ever heard!! Out of the park and still going……..
日本からコメントしています‼️コーラスワークが最高過ぎて涙が出ました‼️😂
Yet another home run. Wonderful production, amazing harmonies, Nikki sounds incredible, and Stefan Hauk... seriously, does the guy ever not crush it?
A home run is something good or bad? Not familiar with that sport.....
Nikki is still the one for me! Such a beautiful lady with an incredibly beautiful voice!
What a singer and what a woman. Nikki makes everyone feel as though she is only singing to them personally,now that is real talent. Thanks Nikki, you are so special !!!😍
🙏🏽♥️ thank YOU
That guitar solo is 🔥🔥🔥
Nikki, Darren and Stephen, you are still the ones! Thrilled ♥️
After listening to it thousand times, it sounds absolute perfect, even still better and better.
I can't find any words, thanks. ❤👍
Perfect example of ‘less is more’ the air between the notes, beautifully arranged’ is where the gold dust is sprinkled. 🙏
Nikki totally owning the vocals there. Nailed by everyone, great performance.
I've watched this 20 times and I'm sick of the perfection!!!!!!!!!! That lead guitar is insanely perfect.
I agree - that lead guitarist nailed it beautifully!

I love the bass that NIkki brings out in the verse. Considering how high a voice register she has.
In case you haven’t yet, someday you’ll realize how inspiring you guys have been for lots of musicians all around the globe.
At least you are for our band. Congratulations!!
Best regards from Argentina!!
I love how Nikki sings the word "listen" at 1:29....some soul for us. Thanks Nikki!

How about a White Horse for Nikki ???
Wait a minute, who's a knucklehead???
Nikki bringing it every time. She replicates the original version of each song to perfection. And totally agree with others...the backing vocals add so much to the cut.
Nikki and Darren you two make a great team. This song was perfect. I could listen to Nikki all day and night. Love you guys
Evidently Shania isn't the only "ONE" who can ROCK that song...... great job!!
Absolutely love this version. Great production with terrific vocals as always, but the standout piece was the lead guitar. The tone was stunning and melodically perfect for the song. 🇬🇧
I love this singer
Absolute perfection...another great start to the weekend. Thx Nikki, Darren, Michael, Damien, Cameron, Stefan, Zoran and all involved. 👌👍👍
Glad we could start your weekend off on a good note dude!✌️
@@__michaelmarino__ all thx to you folk, can never get enough of these tunes.

Darren! Not only are you a talented musician and arranger but you know how to put a group of people together that delivers beautiful music! Thanks 👍 Vocals are perfect!
Every time I hear Stefan, I'm flashed. A fantastic guitarist
Made my day, my week, my summer! Nikki, you are still the one! No bigger fan in the USA than me! Oh, and the guys were good, too.
A crystal-clear vocal by the talented Nikki, a cathedral of choral backing vocals - and can we get a 'hell yeah' for the Hauk-ster! Entirely pleased to see Darren looking like the cat that got the cream - he certainly has the cream of the crop here, and his exceptional production is the cherry on top.
Nikki always brings a happy smile to my face and ears!
Pure perfection, and great to see that you can see Mr Marino on drums in the far back corner
Thanks so much legend! 😊🙏🥁
I am sure Shania and Mutt would approve. Lead vocal and background vocals are tight. Musicianship fantastic! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🔥
It really doesn’t matter whether I like the artist being covered or not. When I see something new from this incredible group of musicians - especially if Nikki & Stefan are playing - I click!
I amazed at the consistent quality of the backup vocals in these videos including Stefan on this one.
Don't worry Niki, you're still my fav.

I have to say that guitar solo was sweet. Really great version of the song. Beautiful, music, vocals, everything.
You guys could fill a gap in the lives of thousands from the 70's -90's, doing live shows full time.
