Sarah Brightman -Scarborough Fair
Seems to have strong harp..She drops her jaw so big =__=''
Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair
Seems to have more acoustic guitar *_* I like~~ Lower in pitch...
Celtic Woman - Scarborough Fair
Got something like flute solo at the beginning..Sound not as deep as
Sarah Brightman and Simon & Garfunkel
Simon and Garfunkel - He sang it with a cool & calm voice without pulling his notes. The music is like balade in the past times.
Sarah Brightman - She sang it kind of like the opera type, pulling her notes. There's a kind of flow in her voice. Song is very very slow.
Celtic Woman - Very nice voice. Super cool tones. Very unique and song is slow but suits her voice.
Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair consist of vocal, guitar &piano. its a duet which consist of two males.
Sarah Brightman -Scarborough Fair consists of a female vocalist mainly having high pitch & guitar ,piano as the backgroung music.
Celtic Woman - Scarborough Fair consists of vocal & having flute as a background music.
Hmm.. in my opinion, I think Simon & Garfunkel's version of Scarborough Fair is somehow filled with masculine voices. HAHA, obviously. This is the version I like.
Sarah Brightman. I know she's an opera singer, so yeah, she sings this like an OPERA !!! LOLS.
As for Celtic Woman, it's nice, in a way that the instrumental accompanient did well >< She sings in a rather high key.
But I think if it was only music without voices, it would be alot better especially in piano, guitar, flute, pan-pipe. etcetc. :D
Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair ... has a slow tempo n diff instument
Sarah Brightman -Scarborough Fair ... has a beautiful voice ... matches the background music ...
Celtic Woman - Scarborough Fair ... beautiful woman wit a beautiful voice ... very heavenly
Simon&Garfunkel - It's very soft but their face expressed their relaxed tone as their mood. Only instrument seen, Guitar.
Sarah Brightman - Th singer sings very sweet and well. Th music is smooth also. Th background and place used simply expressed a natural feeling making one feel calm and relaxed.
Celtic Woman - Many instruments are used. Th singer is able to pitch very high, hold her breath for long. And sings loud&clear.
dwsimon & garfunkel-low pitch...not as flowing as the others...
sarah brightman-she has a very high voice but she sang it nicely and smoothing...
Sarah Brightman - Scarbarough Fair is more melancholic and more high pitched.
Celtic Woman - Scarbarough Fair
is also quite melancholic and high pitched and also soothing.
Simon and Garfunkel - Scarbarough Fair is more of a countryside genre and has a lower pitch than the other 2 singers.
Sarah Brightman has a opera-like voice , matches well with this song . Her singing has a flow to it .
Simon & Garkunkel sang it like normal, lower & not so flow-ish . He sang it with a cool & calm voice .
Celtic Woman has a nice voice , sounds abit like Sarah Brightman , but she doesnt pull her notes . More suitable for this song then Sarah Brightman because i dont think this song , the singers should pull their notes .
:D
the difference between Sarah Brightman and Celtic Woman is that the instruments in both songs is different and they way they sang it.
The instruments used in Sarah Brightman's song is a piano, whereas a concert band is used for Celtic Woman's.
Sarah Brightman sang it as those opera type. She drags her notes.
While Celtic Woman's sang the song, dragging not as much as Sarah Brightman. She sang it normally, as in not those opera type.
