  • NOt that she sucked... But no one can live up to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's voice suits the song a million times better.

  • @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.

  • @rhbgrl I bet you probably try to sing a long to music in the shower..... lol

  • puuf *_*

  • I like how feminine she made it. It sounds nice.

  • beautiful muscians like here are unique

  • She wacked! a classic lol

    true, not all covers are good, but this is horrible.

  • BLEAH!!!!!!!!!

  • what!!  WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

  • shit 

  • this sucks without the guitar

  • WOW...amazing. i think i like it more than the original

    sue me!

  • real big nirvana fan and yes it was good the originality you added to it without messing it up

  • great job.

  • God that chords ruin everything ._.

  • bad emilie you do what you wanted with that song that is so bad

  • poop

  • I fucking love nirvana but this shit blew me the fuck away!

  • Doused in murdddd, soaked in blitch. Some strange accent

  • @HypnoticTea  She's french

  • @FabiRuiiz Ohhhhh

  • Watching her singing so close to the mic turns me on. It's a good cover too :D

  • Watching her singing so close to the mic turns me on. It's a good cover too:D

  • Oh Wow! I love this! It's an absolutely beautiful cover of the song! Well done to Emilie and R.I.P. Kurt, we miss you.

  • I love when she says "Doused in merd, socked in blitch."

  • Janis Joplin would have done an INCREDIBLE cover of this song.

    GOD BLESS 27!

  • nirvana songs sounds so stupid when people sing them as slow as this!

  • I can sing better than that. She's just whining like an emo kid.

  • 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.

  • What's not to like about this?

  • How can you not like this?

  • this is shit

  • i love how she sais 'memoria'

  • i dont know piano, but i definitely sing better than her

  • 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.

  • what a faak

  • Epic cover. Love this artist

  • its just a different take people, nothing more nothing less

    I personally like it, its haunting as I think Kurt intended it to be

  • While this is good - Rachelle Loebe's cover from the Voice blows this out of the water.

  • Cobain didn't write the lyrics to this song. Google 'the true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit'

    Cobain was given the lyrics to both those songs when he was 19 in 1986 and traveled to Banff, Alberta.

  • ok now... 0:40 i'm going back to kurt

  • doesnt work for me 

  • molto brava,io me la scoperei

  • io me la scoperei

  • Hacer un cover a Nirvana es complicado.

    Ella le da otro tipo de sentimiento, me encanta :)

  • piece of shit...

  • BAD!

  • she looks like tori amos, but with a cute accent :)

    and i swear that i don't have a gun, no i don't have a gun, no i don't have a gun.

  • Beautiful... *.*

     One of the best covers I've heard of this song...

  • J'aime beaucoup Nirvana, mais j'ai été extrêmement impressionnée par cette reprise, particulièrement le refrain...

    Vraiment une excellente reprise.

  • I think Kurt would have liked this cover a lot. It gives a new dimension to the song. It just gives a different feel.

  • @GuyWithBluePoop i agree with you, cause is a great cover .

  • ewwwww this is a disaster poor Kurt

  • It comes out of the ordinary, but it's not bad! (;

  • thisss iss so good, its like shes having sex with my ears

  • @popeterito you made me laugh xD

  • Emilie is brillant

  • MUITO BOA ESTA VERSÃO DE UM DOS MAIORES CLASSICOS DE KURT COBAIN .... ELE FICARIA MUITO ORGULHOSO SE VI....SSE

  • Haunting

  • sound like shit when she sing it. the only guy ho can sing this is KURT

  • this song makes me comfortable and anxiety

  • very beautiful...it's a version, though not intended to be like the original version...

    too judgemental...

  • very beautiful...it's a version, though not intended to be like the original version...

    fuck the judgemental...

  • Gostaria de mais informações a respeito

  • this is awesome.....Nirvana is awesome so that makes Emilie Simon awesome... :P nice...you have to admit it

  • Very good singing and a very good cover, but original is original... Keep up the good work Emilie Simon, R.I.P. Curt

  • She has an amazing cover of "I wanna be your dog" by the Stooges. She knows good music.

  • 1:15 ...wow

  • 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

  • nawww she fucked it up!!

  • I just wanna say something..... Kurt sings with SOUL , HEART AND PAIN!!! I'm so dissapointed.

  • Quel talent !!!

  • I honestly cried at the first "I swear I don't have a gun", sooo great interpretation.

  • why this blew hardcore soft porn

  • go emilie!

  • it' s fact that kurt wrote this song.unfortunatelly you have to accept it.

  • Kurt was a drug ****** loser. Emilie is an artist not a loser who "Had a hard life" (boo hoo hoo)

  • @BBBBrettR haha thats funny as fuck cause the only way she got famous was using kurts song...hmm...

  • it's okay, nothing beats the original though.

  • sounds so scary O.O i love  this song ^.^

  • I have to confess: I don't realy like Nirvana... but nothingtheless I simply love her and her interpretation of the song!

  • simply epic.

  • fuck

    and fuck

    wehrmachtas

  • ça ressembie à homme heureux de Sheller

  • MIND=BLOWN

  • so beautiful and moving.

  • this is an awesome cover, the singer has a lovely voice, but her accent ruins it for me.

  • Same here, althought I'm french i can hear it.

  • best cover of this song i've ever heard

  • elle est Francaise c'est pour ça ;)

    vive emilie simon

  • 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.

  • ORGASMIC!!!

  • Best version of this song.

  • such a beautiful cover of an epic song :]

  • 1:15 ...wow

  • Simplesmente, linda, linda, linda!!!

  • Simplesmente, linda!!!

  • 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^^

  • 1.Kurt cobain dont fails.

    2.You fail you fuckin asshole.

    3.Kurt was a musician with heart.

    4. Kurt wrote this song not emilie.

    5. There is nothing more to say. Great Cover but dont diss Kurt cobain. He had a hard life and he died. So R.I.P Kurt.

  • 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!

  • @Knattertonne Eres un pendejo morro.

    Kurt no escribió la canción. Fue David Bowie quien escribió la canción en 1977. Es cover de David.

    Kurt did not write the song. It was David Bowie who wrote the song in 1977. It's cover of David.

    Fail.

  • I heard part of the original on the radio in the car the other day and thought to myself, "Emilie's is MUCH better..."

  • NFW

  • Yes, f-ing w.

    Her's has so much more to offer. Her inflection is better.

  • 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)

  • I guess the French-Anglo translation is lost on you.... Pity.

  • 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.

  • Amazing performance!!!

  • No , I do not like this. No nerves, no emotions. She'd better go play her pop-jazz in restaurants for fat moneybags instead of spoiling such songs.

  • Hey =)

    Bien sûr ça n'est pas Kurt Cobain,

    mais c'est presque aussi bien :p

    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 !

  • Very good =)

    I'm in love with this song =D

    <3

  • She is the only person who could do this right, Perfect.

  • 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Muito interessante, maravilhosa queria ter o prazer de vê-la cantar pessoalmente. Meus parabéns

  • More Nirvana covers!!

    Great Job Emilie.

  • Super reprise,ne valant biensur pas le talent de Cobain mais tres joli ^^

  • 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 )

    great cover though she has such a beautiful voice

    Joy x
