Leighton Meester & Mike Frieman of Check in the Dark - "The Stand In" (Check In The Dark Cover)

[BETHFISHANDLIZBON]

Pretty sure I'm responsible for about half of these views

[charxoxo100]

im obsessed with leighton+gossip girl. this style suits her so much more than somebody to love. Incredible.

[purpledinosrawr]

She is such and awesome singer!!! I can't wait for her album!!!!

[payingmelody93]

love this performance! :D



[ladykaru]

Oh wow Leighton's voice is so much better than I thought from her other songs. Good surprise.

[NHern100]

Love love this song! I want an album! Where is it!?

[amylovesdavidhenrie]

I'm dying for the album. DYINGGGGGG

[tinuy1]

STUDIO VERSION!!! I WANT!!!!!!

[TatjanaMMAvTLauKStew]

They are so good!!!!! I love this song!!!!! I liked she!! xoxo

[lasoguelo]

hermosaaaa!!

[TheBubblegumxx]

i cant believe thats blair her voice is amazing woow

[thiswouldbeanna]

Such music suits her much better than 'Somebody to love'. She's got an amazing voice. I'm glad she has finally found her style.

[seaflower95]

this is really good. want a studio version!

[romy310390]

she can really sing... didn´t like the her other like "mainstream songs" but this is really good!

[teenagestatistic]

love the shit out of her. my goshhhhhh

[pOkeerbOyy]

WALDOR VOICE!

[burbujaspy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! She's so amazing! :)

[Ronnie945]

this song is so gorgeous, never get tired of listening to it! 

[JaguarundiJag]

Does anyone know if there's an album of Leighton and Check in the dark? I know they recorded in studio but I can't find the cd anywhere! So sad!

[lamiaathebest]

@JaguarundiJag they didn't release it yet :(

[odellthurman]

This is beyond Unique! This song could be on the radio right now. Thats why Jewel sold millions of albums. Get a clue and stop drining the hatorate GLEN.

[Glen2906]

Sounds like she is inspired by Jewel.

Except Jewel>Leighton.

NOWHERE NEAR UNIQUE.

I guess in this case you can say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

[sts123]

She is so inspiring! I've listened to this song like so much times! It never gets repetitive, I don't know what it is about her voice... But she is such a unique singer, totally unique, her voice is beautiful! SHE is beautiful! <3

[abiialdridge]

this song is so beautiful :)

[lulufalcaovaz]

she's soooo talented!! she can act and she can definitely sing!

this is such an amazing song

[wetpaint]

would love to see her live! her new music is so much better suited to her voice than her old poppy stuff. love you leighton!

[TheMG5]

leighton meester is so talented wish her the best!

[berna0414]

I love Leighton Meester!..:)

[pitik82]

nu ma asteptam sa cante asa frumos!:X

[kangaroopink]

i love your voice!! i love love loveee MAKE STUDIO VERSION PLEASEEE

[maapzlovesLM]

i saw an angel...

yeah, LEIGHTON <3

[elfalto]

the combination of the two voices is perfect for the song. when released it could be a great hit i think

[Lawlimad]

This is surely the most beautiful song she has, Leightons voice is perfect here , this is most definitely the sound she should stick with. I love how the chorus isn't repetitive, in some other songs , her verses sound beautiful but the chorus almost ruins the song! She is an outstanding actress, devastatingly beautiful and a very gifted singer!

[SharonaElin]

Oh wow this is beautiful, I didn't know she was this good at singing

[rebellingsince1995]

This song is beautiful.

[SweetBow33]

Amazing, i just can't stop to listen it !

[YuneMuis]

lovelovelovelove<3

[punkioana]

[MizKiwii]

she is sooo awesome

[yourboyfriendisanerd]

this is so beautiful

[xxYeahBoi]

leighton meester's just too perfect... amazingly gorgeous, convincing at acting, stunning at singing x

[XassetX]

only actress who is able to sing awsome without autotune

[Evy651]

Wonderfull song!

Knows anyone the chords for gitar? Thanks!

[erstadfan17]

I really hope she sings this on the june 13th show because I will be there! Can't wait!

[KotMatrozkin48]

tabs?

anybody,please!

[adieucherie]

So cute how she jumps at the end of the song :)

[lpycb42]

Wow... a pop singer who sounds better live than with autotune. Who would've thought? She needs to sing songs like these instead of crappy autotuned nonsense.

[xxMalene]

i saw an angel <3

[iangel92]

now THIS is the songs she should put in her album. not the autotuned stuff.

[SeanpaulProductions]

i lovee her, need her album!

[sophiecatcoolhat]

this is the best song i've heard in quite a while

[stephbanh1]

so much better than all that autotuned crap people are coming up with these days.

[fuchsiaification]

THIS is what leighton should be singing (:

[mikefrieman1]

angels come from kentucky i guess

sweet sweet girl you made my head a mess you got me locked out here

dancing in the rain, drunk with the thought of your smiling face

i know you are an angel and it can not be but

what if it was you and what if it was me and...

what if 600 years ago, you were juliet and I was...

well you know how that story goes....

[mikefrieman1]

I saw an angel night before last they come from kentucky who'd have thought that? she had a smile it was so genuinely kind sorta make you feel like you're sipping on some fine red wine she rendered me speachless well she rendered me still she had me feeling like the fool on the hill she said she's taken but i don't blieve that she could be meant for anybody but me

[adieucherie]

This genre is def more for leighton than that pop crap...this kind of music is where her singing talent is really showcased!

After hearing that voice I'd say angels come from Marco Island instead of Kentucky.
