I chose this song, its cover, for the birth of my daughter. I've been listening to this version for years, it's one of my favorite songs in the world, thank you!
"Wose" It is a trait I have noticed with quite a few UK people to round their "r's" into "w's" like Elmer Fudd. Just not as bad. It seems like a mild speech impediment, but I have heard too many UK speaking like this. Some are more pronounced than others. So, I think it just the way their parents and/or peers spoke while growing up. Johnathon Ross has an actual speech impediment, and he does his "r's" as a total "w". It is VERY noticeable. But that did not stop him from becoming a very successful Television personality. The trait seems so prevalent in varying degrees in England that I think people there hardly notice it. If you are from the USA, it is quite noticeable. I spent a lot of time around UK people. About one in 20 would have that trait in varying degrees. It seems uniquely from the UK. Not Australia or New Zealand.
Mauricio Fraire Agreed! ROSE instead of WOSE. But they barely notice this in the UK since the speech pattern (impediment?) is so prevalent. She has issues with ALL her "r's". Sorry. Sounds like Elmer Fudd singing.
Thank you very much! Always helpful to hear - in fact, honestly I thought the same myself about the tempo afterwards! Got a few more covers and originals planned with just piano/voice so I'll definitely take that on board. Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it :)
This literally almost brought me to tears when I heard it the first time. It's almost surreal how you can make anyone watching this feel like you're singing directly to them.
Brett Allington This song is so powerful and how she sings it brings out it's true passion. This song reminds me of something of Elves or Elven song. I love it and your voice Josie. truly captivating! ^_^
I'm sure I've said this before but an amazing cover of a fantastic song performed by a stunningly beautiful young lady. I keep coming back to listen to this and be dazzled by your smile!!!
Josie, I listen to you most every day. It makes such a huge difference in my life. Your music adds color and texture to my life. I just want you to know how much you influence me. You're, by far, my favorite musician. Thank you for making my life better.
I think this is my sixth time watching this, but I lost count. Anyways, I become to the conclusion that you are a singer with a precious soul. :) Keep up the great work, Josie. I'm a big fan. :)
I can tell you put so much effort and hard work into your videos, not just your singing and playing. But the sound is spot on and really well edited too. You are certainly a perfectionist, if I ever saw one.
One of my favorite songs ever, and you did it magnificently! Don't let anyone stifle your desire to make music and bring joy to all that hear it! Ok its been a few days since I heard this and I'm becoming addicted, this can't be healthy :-) Ok I had to purchase the song on Itunes, you are an amazing talent!
This has long been one of my very favourite songs and you nailed it! Such a beautiful girl singing a beautiful song so beautifully!!! Keep it up, Josie - you go girl!!!
Hearing you for the first time right now and you have made this sound so fresh and pure. Absolutely beautiful rendition of a song 13 year old me loved in 1995. You sound divine 🎶🌟
I like her voice, but she sings in a very "structured way" theres no soul, just standard almost robotic. However, I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can play music and sing at the same time. Thats probably the reason for the stiff singing, Trying to concentrate on both makes it so difficult. I'd like hear her sing it without playing.
Kiss from a rose is one of my favorite songs, but this one just sounds like a song that is just being sung, there is no feeling behind it. No sincerity. :/
I always loved this song and you made me fall in love with your cover. Amazing performance as always. I'll be listening to yet another one of your videos everyday. The list gets bigger. Love from New York City.
koifishstudio When people love a song they like it in it's original form so it's difficult to appreciate changes. Her singing ability on the other hand is not not being questioned.
+RemoteAbductionArm Every musician who has tried to cover this piece has experienced the complexity of this piece. Its not only "medium"- level on piano (if you want to have it exact) but also the singing! It is in my opinion the most difficult song to sing (for both men and women!). Why so fast means no long singing on a difficult tune. Especially she is not singing very powerfull, compared to the original, or other covers, but therefore pretty exact and on the dot. It gets harder with longer duration on those powerfull tones. Dont get me wrong, her cover is excellent!
Cool, that makes sense, I guess. TBH, If I hadn't heard the original, I don't think I would have thought it was too fast. But yeah, Seal really nails it.
Thanks so much!! Of course you may - the vocal unit is a TC-Helicon VoiceLive2, I use it in a lot of my videos for harmonies but it also is a great compressor. Wow, best wishes to the other side of the world :)
Dear Josie I came to you by an accident and because of it I became a big fan of you, you have an amazing talent, your voice is awesome, everything makes your music special... i mean, you make your music special! Hope you keep showing your talent to all of us. Greetings from México!!
This is brilliant Josie. It's a great song and you sing it (and play it) wonderfully. Your voice is beautiful and clear. Thanks for sharing. I'll buy download.

Not many singers out there can truly sing without digital editing. You are just brilliant.
Am I the only one enchanted by the way she pronounces "rose"
"Wose"

Deplorable Dave rose instead of wose and she should go a little slower to make the song better
Mauricio Fraire
Agreed! ROSE instead of WOSE. But they barely notice this in the UK since the speech pattern (impediment?) is so prevalent.
She has issues with ALL her "r's".
Sorry. Sounds like Elmer Fudd singing.
matale66 yes, you are.
matale66 I am too
Oh my god why does this not have more views? Your voice has such wonderful tone!!

leo johnson she's great, it's just so florence like the rest of the world is burnt out oon it

lauren forbes You live in a world of Biebers and Kardashians, be glad you're here.
It would have way more views but she played it so fast people missed it!
Listen to this version countless times such a beautiful cover
Thank you very much! Always helpful to hear - in fact, honestly I thought the same myself about the tempo afterwards! Got a few more covers and originals planned with just piano/voice so I'll definitely take that on board. Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it :)
You are beautiful and your voice is fantastic .. kinda remind me of a redhead taylor swift 😀
Auto tuned
I never thought I could love any one doing this song as much as I love seal's performance. The way you do it takes my breath away!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, thank YOU so much for covering it.
She has such nice range, I love her tone when it goes down to a tenor pitch
Your voice has an excellent range and tone. Well done.
The live harmonies are fantastic! It's so simplistic but adds a great touch.
I've been looking for a good cover to this song-finally found one.
I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this.
Thank you.
This literally almost brought me to tears when I heard it the first time. It's almost surreal how you can make anyone watching this feel like you're singing directly to them.
Your voice is like a beacon of light..well done
This video deserves atleast a million views.
I've watched quite a few covers of this and this is the best
This may be my fave of your covers, and that's saying something. What a pleasure to watch someone so talented and genuine.
The fact that your singing it so beautifully but it doesn't even look like your trying 🤘🏽💯😍
Beautiful all the way around. Beautiful Voice, Beautiful Accent, Beautiful Eyes, Beautiful Hair....BEAUTIFUL.
This song always stirs my emotions.
You sing this song so brilliantly!
It is one of my favourite songs of all time.
Well Done.
Brett Allington Thank you Brett! Indeed it's a great song! Glad you enjoyed it

What an incredibly beautiful cover version. I just love it.
Beautiful cover!!
Wow, your voice is so soothing, I'm enjoying a good afternoon with your talent and beautiful covers, I'm officially a fan of yours! :) great job
OMG i just cried. I can listen to this over and over again. Thank you for this stunning cover.
I can listen to this all day!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❄️
Perfect level of softness and directness (yes, mix of French and English concepts)
I don't like covers... but this one, oh, it's just so pure and beautiful.
This song gives me chills, and her cover, especially. So good.
Thank you very much for the lovely comment!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the tune.
Josie, I listen to you most every day. It makes such a huge difference in my life. Your music adds color and texture to my life. I just want you to know how much you influence me. You're, by far, my favorite musician. Thank you for making my life better.
This is the first song of yours that I've listened too and your voice is just STELLAR. And I subscribed so I can hear more of your beautiful voice.
tears in my eyes and a non-stop chill...
Nice, just slow it down to make it lovable.
It's awesome at .75x speed.
vincentjflorio cool discovery
OH MY GOD. The worlds cutest red head just jammed the worlds most rockin song. This set a new standard of awesome. Got me chopping onions over here...
I love her voice!😀
Oh. My. God. I'm blown away. It's sooooo good.
I think this is my sixth time watching this, but I lost count. Anyways, I become to the conclusion that you are a singer with a precious soul. :) Keep up the great work, Josie. I'm a big fan. :)
This is absolutely beautiful, your voice adds a soft and perfect clear tone, this is perfect!
Love the way you say rose this was amazing
She is from Sussex. Her accent is amazing!
I can tell you put so much effort and hard work into your videos, not just your singing and playing. But the sound is spot on and really well edited too. You are certainly a perfectionist, if I ever saw one.
Awesome voice!
Don’t think I’ve ever heard it sung more beautifully
Ladies and Gentlemen, here we got a real Musician...
Really like this cover, keep it up!
Yes I so agree with you now days music stay the same -.-

Touching heart strings with your voice and talent. You always impress.
Your Voice Is So Beautiful! I Adore It! Just Incredible!
This was incredible! I grew up listening to this song and Seal in general. Brought back many feelings from when I was young and I thank you for that.
Oh, my heart...
dakkenly poop
Yes, exactly
My God, ineffable, absolutely magic....Josie, thanks for your vibe
Great singing. Only one thing... I think the song's tempo is rushed... It's just my opinion though. :) Otherwise - great cover!
There's a hidden message here. This will bring new fans. Beautiful voice and version and skills. Just loved it.
kiss fwom a wose
gsx r1 ssshhhh we're hunting wabbits
One of my favorite songs ever, and you did it magnificently! Don't let anyone stifle your desire to make music and bring joy to all that hear it! Ok its been a few days since I heard this and I'm becoming addicted, this can't be healthy :-)
Ok I had to purchase the song on Itunes, you are an amazing talent!
slow down, put some feeling into it - not so mechanical. :-) beautiful voice
Exactly my thoughts.
Beautiful voice! Excellent song choice. Congratulations!!
Can I have your voice? Like. Wow. Oh to my God. 😍😍
Emily Evans no
Your voice gives me chills every time.
beautiful voice ❤️
Always loved this song and you perform it beautifully. Truly wonderful.
her voice is perfect. I quit life.
This has long been one of my very favourite songs and you nailed it! Such a beautiful girl singing a beautiful song so beautifully!!! Keep it up, Josie - you go girl!!!
great hair colour
Redheads are beautiful.
Hearing you for the first time right now and you have made this sound so fresh and pure. Absolutely beautiful rendition of a song 13 year old me loved in 1995.
You sound divine 🎶🌟
Why are you saying "hoses" instead of "roses"?
She's saying Roses. It's just the accent.
best cover I have ever heard in my life
I like her voice, but she sings in a very "structured way" theres no soul, just standard almost robotic. However, I have a great deal of respect for anyone who can play music and sing at the same time. Thats probably the reason for the stiff singing, Trying to concentrate on both makes it so difficult. I'd like hear her sing it without playing.
*insert ginger joke here* - in reference to the no soul UrvineSpiegel
Espécially in her playing, but I do understand what you mean.
You mean ..True English
UrvineSpiegel lets see you do better.
The tempo seems a bit rushed. Watch her Feel Good Inc cover, much more feeling in that one.
EARGASM! I love you sang your own harmonies. love it!
Kiss from a rose is one of my favorite songs, but this one just sounds like a song that is just being sung, there is no feeling behind it. No sincerity.
:/
That's the feeling I got from it too.
I always loved this song and you made me fall in love with your cover. Amazing performance as always. I'll be listening to yet another one of your videos everyday. The list gets bigger. Love from New York City.
i think it would be better if you slow it a little bit. just sayin.
I bet you dont know how much skill is requied to miss a bit on purpose and get back to it on will, like seal did in oryginal. Be nice. Its gr8 cover.
koifishstudio im being nice.
Just sayin

Voice was just haunting in this one. I have been watching you for a while, think this is my favorite.
It's weird I prefer this to the original?
Not at all! 😉
Nothing weird on that. There is a number of songs which I prefer versions over originals.
wonderful, you do not want to stop listening to her!
Holy shit, my redhead fetish just made my brain turn inside-out. She's stunning.
But why is it so fast?

But yeah, Seal really nails it.
I know right
the way you pronounce rose is really beautiful, melted my heart.
there is something robotic in your sound but still potential.
It's vocal layering :P When she sings the chorus right? S'used to make that rad sound you see sometimes durring the Chorus.
Cj Johnson
im wondering that am i in love of the singing or her..
This is SO GOOD. It's a crime it only have 20,000 views.
i dreamed of you many times before i see this vid.. who are you anyway.. im confuse..
Less than a minute in and I want to just listen forever. Subbed!
Slower pls...
Your voice always gives me goosebumps
its a little boring...i wish you would be a little more energetic
Thanks so much!! Of course you may - the vocal unit is a TC-Helicon VoiceLive2, I use it in a lot of my videos for harmonies but it also is a great compressor. Wow, best wishes to the other side of the world :)
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it! Love from the UK :)
most beautiful voice ive ever heard! i wish you the best of luck in the music industry. this cover brought me to tears.
To me your music is a growing addiction that i can't deny.
