@rhbgrl She isn't Kurt, she is Emilie. No artist should be compared. As most artist do a cover of artist they admire. Get over it! She is not trying to live up to anyone. She already has a wonder voice and she did it all before the cover.
What country is this from? Her voice is weird. I honestly like the Nirvana version WAYYYYYYY more. But whatever. If you like it, you enjoy it. I'm gonna go listen to Heart Shaped Box...
@Polkadotpidge Emilie Siimon.A french artist which came to be exposed musically by the medias.A generally beutiful piece of work,if you care to translate the lyrics.
You might want to check the song fleur de saison,which was at the time almost sharing the sense of Olivia ruiz or
@Velvetspoonful Well...Possibly Anaïs,for their on scene punk-ish -rock attitude;
Can be cool,and they're stuido recordings sometimes are mint and honey...Oh.I was listening to the lazy frog just there,apparently...Space and sound might be something of the attention,though, got struck by many and idea.
I've been a Nirvana fan for years, Kurt ruled my life in the 90's. This cover is just great, Emilie Simon hits exactly the right spot with this cover, she understands exactly what this song is about!!!!
Such a shit. Original is MUCH better than this one. I still can't understand why everyone tries to make every song from nirvana like stupid shitty ballad.. :(
One of my favorite female artists I must admit. She is great on stage, her shows are really unique. I wish for the next time she comes in Montreal, I absolutely have to go see her. Her voice is amazing, and God is she beautiful.
a really dramatic version of an epic song!! really great interpretation!! i just crossed with emilie and i already like her vibration!! great musician!! love and respect
A cover isn't just a copy/paste work; it would simply be useless. Emilie Simon replays Nirvana's song with her own musical universe and sensitivity, it's a tribute to express how she felt the song, how it meant to her. In this case, any comparison with Kurt would be unrelevant. That is what makes a true artist.
This is a great cover. And Kurt was a Great musician. Don't despise his work, Ok? And Emilie is a great musician too, I don't think she wants make better than Kurt...
I don't think we can compare this with Kurt Cobain version but... For me it's beautiful too, this girl has something different, a personnality, she's a real artist and I don't think she pretends to make as good as Kurt... So don't be so hard with her...
I love it, I prefer Kurt, but I love it, Emilie Simon is a great singer, really great^^
What do you mean Kurt doesn't fail? you think he played perfectly? He always made mistakes while playing or sang false! But yeah, he did it with heart and deepness from his soul! That's why he is famous and melody and sadness genius!
I think you misspelled affectation, my friend....because that's all she has to offer. No soulfulness, no emotion behind it. Besides, this is so ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (unless you're into muzak, in which case I apologize)
Maybe...Although I'm actually a big fan of Keren Ann. You should check out the album Nolita. In comparison, I think this is rather boring, but that's ok, because reasonable minds can differ. Cheers.
Complétement différent, j'en ai des frissons. Ce que j'aurai aimé y être! Cette fille est une génie de la musique. Et ses compositions de la Marche de l'Empereur sont fabuleuses !
95% of teens would go into a panic attack if the jonas brothers were about to jump off the empire state building copy and paste this if you are the 5% who would pull up a lawn chair grab some popcorn and yell JUMP BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does aneyone know where i can get the sheet music for this version. she plays the piano part differently to the original ( authough that deasnt have piano in )
NOt that she sucked... But no one can live up to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's voice suits the song a million times better.
