People really need to stop saying she lacks the power of the original. Plant lacked the folkiness of the original "babe I'm gonna leave you", he lacked the bluesyness of the original "you shook me". What's the point? He made those songs their own by putting their own stamp on it just like corinne made this hers by giving it the jazz treatment & it's a fine rendition.
Anytime an artist does another artist's hit song, it's all out of respect & admiration for what the original writers had accomplished. She sounds so much better doing her original hit songs in my opinion. She has a very smooth voice as well!
So 6/8 and bluesy, where jazz and rock become one again. It's kinda like General Unified Theory when you slow up the tempo of some rock songs, swing the lyrics, and bust a groovy beat.
Sexy ..... she's soulful. Zep owns any song of theirs, but nice rendition ..... she has a mystical way about her. Love all her music. Like a Star is pure magic.
@pekalr i think in this live she sang more softly, but i think she has powers to sing this song with impact as much as other singers, she sings with great emotions and passions...
Interesting how the piano player turned a minor blues tune into a major sounding composition. I like the arrangement but think the vocalist got lost in it.
I am disappointent by this cover. The original has such raw emotion that this just sounds bland in comparison. Rae sings it like some sweet, little song instead of the essence of a betrayed, broken-hearted person's anguish. But I'm not going to be a hater and press the 'dislike' button - she gave it a go and her voice is indeed lovely and the jazzy arrangement is interesting. Maybe when she's experienced more she can sing this like it deserves to be sung.
Some of you guys miss the point of a cover I feel. There is ZERO point in doing a cover if you are just going to merely copy the original. You may as well put on a CD. Come on people; use ya imagination! :P
i was like....no this is not gonna work......but as it went on....i kinda liked it......and i am a big led zeppelin fan.....maby i just liked the girl....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is an untouchable monument originally made by real masters, one should think twice before trying to cover it. The singer may be good in her style but her voice does not really fit that very particular "english blues". Where is the emotion ? Useless cover from my point of view.
dont play with my emotions like that....omg i bought her first album my freshman year and i would be getting her second one my senior year....i absolutely love this lady ...she is my favorite singer.....are you serious???Please tell me this isn't a rumor and that my girl is really backkkl!!!!
it was..... nice. Truthfully, I am more into the bluesy rock music than anything. I am more about the music than anything else. but... She has a good voice, but put more guitar into that song & more emotions into it, then you will knock down every man listening...
I always thought that Rae had a somewhat unique way of singing. And admittedly, when I first heard Rae sing, I didn't particularly like the way she sang. But then, I heard a couple of songs that resonated with me, and I've been a fan ever since. The song that she does on the Herbie Hancock CD (River)...oh my goodness - that is indeed the song that won me over. Since then, I've been staying on the look out for new Bailey Rae songs.
That's interesting. I thought quite the opposite. To me, she sounds like someone who is singing alone to herself about a man who she really lost. When you feel that way, you don't think about singing perfectly. The only thing that's on your mind is just how heart broken you feel. Forget about impressing an "audience" - just sing from your heart.
I don't know, it just seems really lackluster. I'd also disagree on your performance related to your experience. I've usually noticed other performers (and myself) use a lot more emotion when they're singing about something close and really thinking about the lyrics. Not withdrawn. But she doesn't strike me that way anyway. She's semi-smiling the whole time, I just feel like she's gliding right through it. And if you're performing in concert for an audience, you OUGHT to sing as well as you can.
this is probably the best version besides the 1973 Madision Square Garden Led Zeppelin Version. This is amazing, tying blues, soul and r+b. She's great!
most people present their opinons like it's a fact or something. "this is out of her range, she should stick to her thing" blah blah. I like it and that's a fact!
ummm I love CBR with all my heart but she needs to stay in her range and leave this song up to Led Zeppelin...I probably would have liked this if i didn't know the orginial though
What a boring vapid version of this incredible song--no emotional range at all. Sounds like she's reading the words--including "woo woo"--off the page for the first time . I love how she smiles all through a song that is about the pain of a bad relationship and makes those stupid meaningless hand gestures. Comes off like a badly programmed robot.
this is brillinat. I love Corinne but...there's another song that sounds similar to this arrangement. It's really annoying me now, that fact that I don't remember. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, pretty good! I like the vibe and so what it's nothing like the zepp version. It was enjoyable to listen to and for an epic song that's a good thing to be able to get all the way thru it.
Diehard Zep fan here...this is a respectable cover and I give Corinne Bailey Rae props for paying homage one of the greatest bands in rock history. It does a soul good to hear and see another generation of musicians keepin' the blues alive.
i'm not really a fan of this version or style. definitely should have left it to zeppelin ONLY! i mean come on, plant put in some amazing emotion on the live shows. she's just kinda sittin there. this actually fuckin sucks. now that i'm listening to it more while i'm typing. i try not to be ignorant, but seriously leave it to page and plant. please. IMO
I totally agree. I feel that this is just a lame piece of something close to lounge music. It's just horrific, with none of the real feeling that Plant put in it, and none of the dark blues that Page infused into the original. Very, very bad.
Hmmm, because Mattm is clearly interested in dating men. USE appropriate adjectives for insults!! You're, like a total smurf. I mean ur so frickin hetero. I mean a tuna. Dude, ur a tuna. (Makes sense as an insult, doesn't it)
i'm a fan of both zep and corrine but i think corrinne pretty well on this..i think the boys would be proud of this too....no offence!! just my opinion! lol...
Allow me to explain my last comment. It was in response to a user who slandered me with racial slanders and made ignorant remarks about Corinne, whom I am a huge fan of. My comments in no way are directed at Corinne or any fans of hers that have posted on this thread. Fortunately the ugly comments made by the aforementioned user have been removed and hopefully his account has been suspended. Again, I think Corinne is an amazing singer and am a huge fan of her work. Big up CBR! Down with racists
Actually no I'm not British unlike the members of your favorite group Led Zeppelin who def. are British. But I bet you didn't even know that huh? And now that you've been exposed as the inbred, backwoods trailer park living, cousin fucking redneck racist that you are, I have nothing further to say to you. It's enough for me to know that people will read your comments and laugh at your inability to string together a coherent sentence. More likely they'll cringe in disgust at your obvious bigotry.
lol yeah white people invented the blues right? nice comeback by the way, what are you 10 yrs old? Stop trolling up in here dude, everybody thinks you're an ignorant wanker.
woah man, i'm a huge zeppelin fan, and anyone has the right to cover led zeppelin, of course none are going to be as good as the original, (especially with zeppelin), but ya anyone can cover them if they want
without the screech of a les paul belting out between lyrics, this version is just blowin' nuts....NKKAPLZ!
