She's a good singer, but I think Sky's version of the song is trying too hard to be 'different' from the Stevie Nicks version, and as a result it loses a lot of the power of original. The way she shortens the notes in the chorus in particular makes Sky Ferreira's version seem fairly watered down and dull compared to Stevie Nicks belting out her vocals.
Stevie has a way with her voice poise attitude in her songs that are so unique and if u can compete w that then thats good but i have yet to see it this is not a punk rock song its rock and roll and to addd anything or take fromn it is nonsense sorry 67 thousand views but she sucks
@THETERMINATOR783 Nothing like the original, sucks, totally sucks!!! No one can rock it like Stevie when she does it as her introductory sing in concert!!! There's no heart to "Sky's " version. ugghh..........
Great cover. I am like most Stevie fans, ( we hate covers of Stevie's songs ) but this is an exception !! Well done, it sounded like the original but like you too ! That's really hard to do. Congats
beautiful! i am stevie nicks's NUMBER ONE FAN! and i totally approve that this is a great cover!!! lol alot of people suck at re-doing songs, but you actually delivered!!! <3
I am impressed. I think Stevie would be too. You have held true to the song, made it fresh, and added a dance temp that would have been good for clubs in the 80s and would be a green day girlfriend today... I would like to hear more..
@straightEDGEvici Stevie Nicks makes good music.. How do you think Fleetwood Mac are the band they are today? And the covers of FM or Stevie Nicks are countless.. Becuase SHE makes THE BEST music
@807560 You are kidding, right? If nature would have given you ears, it´s impossible to write a comment like that. The version of Sky is crap and will stay crap up in all eternity. Not a single sign of singing it by heart, flat and having an flat electronic sound. It sounds like a Pet Shop Boys version yet. And the photo fits to it. You can only wipe the ass with that kinda piece of production...
As far as covers go, this is a pretty good one (coming from a big Stevie Nicks fan), but it's almost just good as it's own song, I don't really hear it as "stand back", it definitely doesn't have the energy that the original one does
I went catatonic when the original dropped almost THIRTY years ago - and it is my favorite song of all time. THIS is a totally fresh, current, and "make it your own" cover. It is exactly what a good cover does. GREAT JOB SKY!
OMG- I would LOVE to see her in concert- love all her songs and I don't understand why in England she is barely famous! Come on! She's AMAZING! i REPEAT amazing!
her voice isn't bad, but my problem with the original stevie nicks version and this version is that it seems more like a way to make an instant hit with the techno beat and slightly smothers her voice. still no comparision to stevie.
@nickH2009 nah, i don't know about that. but i know that it's really difficult to figure out how to do it. just convert to the mp3s for now. it really helps when you use the site to convert any youtube video you want (preferably the hq ones). sometimes there might be an error, but 90% of the time the site won't have an issue. if there is some error, just go back in an hour or so, or just keep trying with the same song. the results are amazing!
Respectfully, they're two different artists, but I think that this version is better. If this was a modern song, released for the first time by Sky, it'd be a mega-hit. (Possibly)
@justintylercarey yeah except its not hers, its a Stevie Nicks song and wouldnt be here if it wasnt for her and im sorry but this version is good but its just not in the right style tbh. I would like it better if they would have kept 80s style synth more throughout the whole song.
@nickH2009 all you have to do is go to video2mp3(net) and copy and paste the link of this video (or any other youtube video for that matter) into the conversion bar, and select high quality. then all you do is just wait for the download (be sure to have itunes as your default music player on your computer) and then when it's finished, open the download. it will then open to your itunes directly, and it will be available to listen and put into your ipod immediately.
