Jul 24, 2010 - seriously, i've read alot of the comments for this video and i don't get it. lets all agree mexwell has a great voice , no arguement there. but are we not missing the point that this is a song about true heartbreak not an exercise in vocal range. if any of you people think this version of the song is better then the original kate bush version, you are delusional and need to sit down. do yourselves a favour and check out the original and the background of the lyrics. keep posting comments.

Jul 24, 2010 - Adam, thanks for the reply, and i entirely agree that ppl, or prople are entitled to there opinion on all maters, musical, political, sexual or mineral. i don't want this to to be seen as a rant against the performance of thhe song but i am getting to a point where commentors are missing the fundamental details of a song and focusing on a narrow margin of excellence. i honestly think it was the " this is best version of the song ever comments that got to me, and i apologise the delusional line.

Jul 25, 2010 - he performed this song great. I have seen the video to this song, and to be honest I think this live performance was way better then the vocals in the video. It is not to often you come across a song that makes you want to run home and hug all the people you love in your life.

Jul 27, 2010 - @andyrooireland ... look man.. this version is and always will be better than the original.. His passion for this song makes it so much better to listen to. Kate Bush is ok, but Maxwell Made this song one of the best. People don't really care about what the song is about, they just love the fact that the song is great and it sounds amazing. So take a seat buddy. Listen to the difference between Kate and Maxwell. And maybe maxwell went through the same exact thing as Kate. Ever think of that????

ANI24BOI Says:

Jul 27, 2010 - Maxwell made this song like 100 x's better. He understands the lyrics and has so much passion in singing this song. He took the song and made it even better than the original. He is so talented.

Jul 27, 2010 - I absolutely can not believe this is live! Such a beautiful song, beautifully sung. Love it!

undrugged Says:

Jul 28, 2010 - I don't wish to inflame more arguments. However, as good as this version is, it is actually impossible for it to be sung with more meaning than Kate Bush, because SHE WROTE IT!! That is a no brainer. Exceptional performance from Maxwell. Oddly though, it's his high end, female range that probably stopped him being as successful as he could have been.

undrugged Says:

Jul 28, 2010 - @andyrooireland You are 100% correct. You didn't need to apologise for facts.

undrugged Says:

Jul 28, 2010 - @ANI24BOI Utterly ridiculous.

Jul 28, 2010 - whitney houston style noodling and yowling. Anybody that thinks this is 'like more better' than Kate Bush, SHOOT yourselves in the face.

Jul 28, 2010 - Yes, Max is among the GREATS, I am so Fortunate and Blessed in my Lifetime to witness Sam Cooke,Marvin Gaye,Teddy Pendergrass,Michael Jackson, Prince's talent in concert; I truly love amazing quality entertainment, & this comes with a price and it is worth every penny, I am looking forward to seeing this young man in live performance. I have purchased all of his CD's. Thank you for posting absolutely beautiful artistry, if I'm not mistaking, this is Kate Bush, a phenomenal talent as well.

Jul 29, 2010 - @andyrooireland I actually think Maxwell, as a male, brought a fresh and interesting perspective to the song which transformed its meaning into something new. That is as much credit to Kate Bush (for writing such a complex and rich song) as it is to him (taking a novel step an interpreting it from a male perspective). I don't see why he should have to sing the lyrics according to the background of the song as dictated by Kate. I find Maxwell's take intriguing. I hear she loves it btw.

123444122 Says:

Jul 29, 2010 - @andyrooireland and just to be clear - I don't engage in pointless discussions on who's version was better. Especially in instances like this where the interpretations are from totally different perspectives. It's a great cover, I think. And a 'cover' it is, so all credit to Kate. I also don't think his cover was just an exercise in vocal range. The falsetto adds to the delicacy of the interpretation and the moving between notes is just his style. He's hardly doing an Aguilera-type show off.
