She sings with a certain kind of urgency that I find both compelling and melancholic. There's something touching about the way the performs and the depth in her voice. It all seems to say: "I've lived life." Regardless of her age!
Her diction is really not an issue when you realise she is a soul singer. That is how soul comes across. its about the sound and the beauty in that sound. Her passion rules over the requirement for diction
I disagree. I think she has a lot of talent but she needs to learn her voice more and how to use it to make better sounds. Sometimes it sounds magical but sometimes it sounds like a child shouting.
She gave me goosebumps when I watched her during the show and listening to her again is just as thrilling. If you've got ears for music outside of the lame pop charts you'll understand just how good she is.
TY Ms. Ruth Brown!! I had to make a phone call which I was avoiding. I listened to this video four time and found the courage to make the "dreaded" call!! THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION!! :) :)
Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk voice! Listen to how clear. wow! And emotion? No lack of that, for sure. Hope to find more videos of her, for sure. Thanks, Babe (Ruth)!
You won't find him drinking at the tables Rolling dice and staying out 'til three You won't ever find him being unfaithful You will find him, you'll find him next to me You won't find him trying to chase the devil For money, fame, for power, out of grief You won't ever find him where the rest go You will find him, you'll find him next to me Next to me, oh Next to me, oh Next to me, oh You will find him, you'll find him next to me When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished And I can't seem to find no help or love for free I know there's no need for me to panic 'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling I will find him, I'll find him next to me Next to me, oh Next to me, oh Next to me, oh I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Ruth you are fantastic. A real artist makes it all look effortless...that's you. You open your mouth and it just comes out with what appears to be no effort, Never ever stop singing. just keep on keeping on...it's all going to come to you...
I agree with Will! I'm absolutely gobsmacked that anyone could not like this?! I seldom post messages on youtube, but in this case I have to say that this was one of the best performances I've seen in my whole life! Love it when she really kicks in. AMAZING!!
once a day for the last week I find my self looking up and re-watching each of Ruth's performances....just stunning. Some silly person made some comment about her needing to pronounce words "properly", they are totally missing the point and in some way utterly deaf to whats essential in Ruth's art.
She is a creative being and voice, expression, movement, the out-pouring of the feeling in a song is what she does very well. She moves me as I'm not looking for absolute vocal perfection - looking for something that gives me a chill and she does it.
I dont understand…. she has a great voice when she Audition with "When love takes over" i was blown away by her voice control/able to hit every note and more but here she just rushed this song sooooo much its hard to listening to her/keep track. some songs should not be rushed and this is one of them amaze how many people overlook this fact , She is great singer no doubt but her rushing trough it ruin it for me :/
My God, I was reading all these comments and I thought maybe I was crazy or couldn't hear, but lord... She was so far ahead of the best and she literally went off key at least twice. :( This comment makes me feel same.
Neuroneos i like it... she did it her own way... she had to make it interesting and keep herself in people minds... she wanted to be remembered as that girl that did her own version...
Where are you Ruth? I love your voice, strange not to hear. I write from Venezuela, here we are waiting for your songs, you're the best of all who have participated in The Voice UK!
Never seen a 20year old woman like her ...Ruth Brown is very special. She has the spirit of all divas like Aretha , Etta or all others.....Hopefully she comes further in this competition !
what i love about ruth is that although she has amazing and powerful vocals, she isn't worried about being clean cut. she gets lost in her singing and you can feel the raw emotion. the notes aren't always perfect, but they're better than that, because you believe every word she sings and each words connect to you. this is a true singer, ladies and gentlemen. not a robot and not worried about being perfect. just her raw uncut self.
The fact that Ruth had lost her dad weeks before the show and she was strong enough to still perform is remarkable her voice is amazing
2020 and I'm still here..
This girl is incredible!!
She sings with a certain kind of urgency that I find both compelling and melancholic. There's something touching about the way the performs and the depth in her voice. It all seems to say: "I've lived life." Regardless of her age!
D
ikr
So beautifully put, that is the EXACT feeling.
I haven't found any version of this song better than this one.
José Antunes preach bro
Yes, I think the same
I total agree with you. I have never ever powerful "Next to me song" like this
Yep I actually don't even like this song in the first place anyway. But I love her version,and the way she interprets it. I keep on listening to it.

This woman should be a HUGE star somewhere in this world!!
TY Ms. Ruth Brown!! I had to make a phone call which I was avoiding. I listened to this video four time and found the courage to make the "dreaded" call!!
THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION!! :) :)
Sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk voice! Listen to how clear. wow! And emotion? No lack of that, for sure. Hope to find more videos of her, for sure. Thanks, Babe (Ruth)!
Whoever started this "sang" shit? I wish people would stop throwing that nonsense around.

Ruth Brown, you truly rocked the house! Good luck to you! The world needs people like you.
PQP! Me arrepiei inteiro. Essa mulher tem uma voz incrível!
she is pure class, she sings with so much soul and meaning. She lives in the song... Brilliant!
You won't find him drinking at the tables
Rolling dice and staying out 'til three
You won't ever find him being unfaithful
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
You won't find him trying to chase the devil
For money, fame, for power, out of grief
You won't ever find him where the rest go
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
You will find him, you'll find him next to me
When the money's spent and all my friends have vanished
And I can't seem to find no help or love for free
I know there's no need for me to panic
'Cause I'll find him, I'll find him next to me
When the skies are gray and all the doors are closing
And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe
When all I need's a hand to stop the tears from falling
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
Next to me, oh
I will find him, I'll find him next to me
Ruth you are fantastic. A real artist makes it all look effortless...that's you. You open your mouth and it just comes out with what appears to be no effort, Never ever stop singing. just keep on keeping on...it's all going to come to you...
beautiful....
Brilliant!! a totally amazing natural voice and Ruth should win the voice because she is the voice.
My God.. she just make me feel "urhggggg"..good job ruth
Love Ruth Brown!!! São Paulo (SP) - Brasil
0:26-029 made me laugh so hard!
I agree with Will! I'm absolutely gobsmacked that anyone could not like this?! I seldom post messages on youtube, but in this case I have to say that this was one of the best performances I've seen in my whole life! Love it when she really kicks in. AMAZING!!
Eita talento !! Uau ...
i feel like this song get better every single time i hear it. love ruth
That time when The Voice UK was good and full of talented contestants ♡. What happened? ☹
once a day for the last week I find my self looking up and re-watching each of Ruth's performances....just stunning. Some silly person made some comment about her needing to pronounce words "properly", they are totally missing the point and in some way utterly deaf to whats essential in Ruth's art.
Omg With that voice she should a record or something....
Ruth brown yiu are much addored! - much love...... all the way from the Philippines:)
The girls got soul
shes ALWAYS ahead of the beat!!
what a vibrato
Very talented young lady. Stay strong Ruth! We love you, regards from Rio!
canta de mais brother!!!! fodaaaa!
2017 !!!! and still i come back to watch this
OMG
i know right?! her voice is so addictive! its like your ear want listen to it again&again!
the next aretha franklin!
For me this is THE performance of the year, so much emotion.
Her or Jaz should of won.
She is a creative being and voice, expression, movement, the out-pouring of the feeling in a song is what she does very well. She moves me as I'm not looking for absolute vocal perfection - looking for something that gives me a chill and she does it.
I was more feeling the song and music around me. imperfections are perfect. And the growling is a gospel thing...
Ruth Brown, sendo a melhor como sempre!!!
timing was on point..fuk who ever said that it was off point..
Yes Fuck them .....
+Beown1245 you killed that stage mama.. lol. thats why they be mad...
WOW, just Wow. God bless her!
The voice and what she can do with it is amazing.
But the timing is just terrible.. am i the only one hearing it?
nope
Switzerlandler i love how soulful her voice is. But yeah, her timing is horrible (actually noticed it on most of her performances)
The music is behind
All of her performance. Her timing is sososososo off
Blame the band lol
i cant stop watching her perform
this is amazing rendition
doing the song 100% justice!
She should have won >:(
She is the best singer I ever heard in my entire life! No one I think will ever be as greatest as she is !! RUTH
She's amazing singer! She just need a bit more coaching to get to a level where she can be the best she can be! She already sounds amazing!
So much emotion, so beautiful.
I dont understand…. she has a great voice when she Audition with "When love takes over" i was blown away by her voice control/able to hit every note and more but here she just rushed this song sooooo much its hard to listening to her/keep track. some songs should not be rushed and this is one of them amaze how many people overlook this fact , She is great singer no doubt but her rushing trough it ruin it for me :/
My God, I was reading all these comments and I thought maybe I was crazy or couldn't hear, but lord... She was so far ahead of the best and she literally went off key at least twice. :( This comment makes me feel same.
Amazing! One of the most powerful voices I've heard in a while.
Hope she wins!
who gives a crap if she was off beat. that girl can sing😍
Me. Me. I care.
Her voice is so beautiful...full of emotions.
0:26 "youool find andool find oomeczumee"
WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT?
I find myself keeping coming back to this video, i just think it's absolutely amazing, gives me goosebumps every single time
i dont like it..too much yelling and out of timing most of the song
Well, she's not recording an album hunni! So sit your ass down somewhere.
everytime she makes me cry.. what a strong voice!!! she must make an album
Her voice was amazing , however her diction was appalling...
So amazing😢
Both her diction and her timing are absolutely horrific.
she did it for a reason... to put her own personality to the song which was covered so many times before
Doll Aka Freckles That's bull. It's like trying to make a film without a camera.
Neuroneos They do that quite often these days. It's called animation.
Osixjoh She's not animated.
Neuroneos i like it... she did it her own way... she had to make it interesting and keep herself in people minds... she wanted to be remembered as that girl that did her own version...
She has so much soul and power. She is incredible!
I never get bored of this performance, her voice is incredible, so much passion.
Where are you Ruth? I love your voice, strange not to hear. I write from Venezuela, here we are waiting for your songs, you're the best of all who have participated in The Voice UK!
wonderfffuuuullllll...she sing with your soul...your heart.......GO Ruth Browwwwnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!
the piano sounds so beautiful
She is SO good. She has perfect control of her voice, its gives me goosebumps.
OMG! Ruth Brown has it all. I just got the chills.
She misses the beat, and her pitch is shaken but though she's amazing absolutely!!! Her emotion always gives me goodebumps. God I'm crying.
Wow ! it's stunning
Never seen a 20year old woman like her ...Ruth Brown is very special. She has the spirit of all divas like Aretha , Etta or all others.....Hopefully she comes further in this competition !
what i love about ruth is that although she has amazing and powerful vocals, she isn't worried about being clean cut. she gets lost in her singing and you can feel the raw emotion. the notes aren't always perfect, but they're better than that, because you believe every word she sings and each words connect to you. this is a true singer, ladies and gentlemen. not a robot and not worried about being perfect. just her raw uncut self.
