She is only 19 years old as you are watching this. She wrote the song herself Unbelievable, unique talent.

She writes her own songs and sings live and plays her piano and writes her own music and directs her own videos and does dance too... WOW!

One of the best songs ever
-
She was amazing. Threw the rule book out the window and did her own thing. There was no one like Kate Bush.
-
Those eyes, that mouth, that voice, those moves, that music.... absolutely entrancing.
-
She wrote the song aged only 18, in a single evening after watching a BBC production and before reading the book, and recorded her vocals on the very first take.
-
People love”Running up the Hill”. But I still prefer this song the most. Since it has a Gothic feel.
-
I read Kate's biography. For someone so talented and eccentric, she had quite a normal childhood and a wonderfully loving family. I believe she was so sure of herself because she came along when her two brothers were quite a lot older than she was. Her family absolutely nurtured her brilliant talent. One of her brothers took most of her photographs, doing the artwork for her albums, while her other brother, Paddy, along with boyfriend ( Del Palmer) played in her band and on her albums.

Making such a timeless song when was just 19 years old. Kate Bush is pure genius.
-
It’s not just the song that is a masterpiece that makes you enter in a hypnotic trance, it’s the whole performance, the way she moves, the facial expressions, altogether it’s an incantation.
-
The greatest Gothic pop song of all time. The full interpretation of the spirit of Bronte's classic tale encapsulated into one tune is a truly remarkable feat.
-
Kate lives in a beautiful house up a cliff in Devon. I have delivered to her several times, such an amazing lady. Friendly, polite, bonkers.
-
She is the epitome of supreme talent and beauty.
