I was listening to Sarah McLachlan's Angel today, and I was reminded of what in incredible, emotional song it is. What is your most beautiful song?

Des'ree - Kissing you
Mariah Carey - My All
Beyonce - Halo
Miley Cyrus - The Climb

Oh yes, I love Halo and This Woman's Work.

A few that spring to mind:

Annie Lennox's cover of No More "I Love You's"
Joni Mitchell - River
Craig Armstrong feat. Liz Fraser - This Love
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York
Fleetwood Mac - Sara

Another for me is Emeli Sande - Heaven.

Madonna: Live to Tell.

Nothing else has touched it in 500 years.

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper
Coldplay - Fix You
Mariah Carey - Bye Bye
Beyonce - Halo
Mariah Carey - Hero

Also from 2013 so far I'd say this is one of the most beautiful songs for me personally:
Fifth Harmony - Who Are You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv8Xi0IlvmM

Christina Agulera Beautiful .

Because of what the song is about, "I Got Your Back" from my most favorite singer James Otto will always be at the top of my list.

God bless you and him always!!!

Holly

P.S. My most favorite part is when James sings, "I'll rock you safe all through the night..."

Bloody hell. Not a single mention of The bloody Saturdays yet. Has their PR department gone to sleep?

Just wait for it...

But on a serious note, I would throw Eric Claptons Tears In Heaven into it. Nothing comes close to it.

Haley Reinhart - Undone

Please give it a listen, this girl deserves some recoginition.

[Deleted User] · 02/10/13 - 03:50

This version of Schubert's Ave Maria. I'm not even sure who is singing it.

[Deleted User] · 02/10/13 - 04:00

I agree about This Woman's Work by Kate Bush. I'd also suggest A Coral Room, also by Kate, as being one of the most beautiful songs ever created.

victor mel · 02/10/13 - 04:34

Some great choices here especially Kate Bush and the Cocteau Twins. Would like to add Joni Mitchell Both sides now and the Cure Pictures of you.
