Coming back to this 1 month....still no good! This chick must've been knocking it with one of the boys with Zero 7 cause they took a big, big step back wtih letting this chick ruin which was one of their best songs. Sophie gets a big, big thumbs up, this chick go dress up as maid marion and sing it at Celtic thunder or Scarborough Faire!
this is strange for Zero 7 but the negative comments here are bit over-reactionary. She sings and plays beautifully and expertly. It's not Sophie but don't try to insist that it is. It's very different.
This versions ok and this chick sings good, but it difenately lacks the Sophie Barker soul and just an acoustic version is weak. Zero 7 is about soulful singers and trip-hop music. I'll give it a pass. A bit disappointing!
Those of you that do not hear the beauty in her voice then at least listen to to words and respect them . I hear a harmonious voice that draws you in.
Yeah, I'm sorry, but have to agree with most people here. Waiting Line is a "SOUL" number and Sophie sings it with Soul. I dig folk/medieval music...don't get me wrong... but this song is all about Soul..in the sort of Motown tradition. I dig the effort and guts to try to do this # differently,,but it just doesn't rate in my book.
i like artists who try to do different variations of their songs, but this version isn't good,original is waaaaayyyy better,it's even an insult for the original to compare them
Completely utterly lame....I would rather a chick look like a raggy old haggy sing kick ass then some chick sing this medieval sounding shit with no soul and no groove. Geez this chick and Zero 7 is wasting my time with this crappy version,
Bring back the old crew Zero. This is poor at best. Have you become a folk band. Think of your loyal supporters because they have dropped off in droves!
I went to see Zero 7 at Birmingham Town hall on this tour earlier this year, and this was easiest the worst tour they have done to date, I have never seen a crowd so bored and disinterested, and i have seen them a few times before with Sia Tina and Sophie. Zero 7 have lost the edge that made them such a great band to see live.They need to get the chill back, and really hope they do as i love the sound of their earlier albums.
Man, this version is an insult to the original. I'd pretty pissed off if they have chosen this one instead of the original in a gig, unless they played both.
@giant37 surely that's the point? they're trying to do something a little different, I thought the version she did in Norwich was really sweet. There was a couple in front of us who left after hearing it saying "that was the one song we came for and she f***ed it up." Bit harsh to be honest.
Saw them last night in Toronto - best downtempo band in the whole wide world! I still like the original 'In the Waiting Line' though - the melody makes that song, and it's missing here...
I saw them play live last night in Baltimore, and I absolutly loved the whole show, but I must say this is the song that really tugged at my heart, amazing! =)..love you z7
don't like this "medieval folk song-version"... : ( the original arrangement (and other older versions) still belong to my all time favorites ever though, so i will have to forgive ; )
i was disappointed with the concert. this girl signs pop art blue well, but this song lacks the original tone or a better signer desperately. listen to the bridge, it makes me cringe.
IS she the original singer?...???

Well done, now you can't guess the original anymore. Nice voice, but I'd say the melody got completely lost. Just my personal opinion.

I too like the original better. But, I feel sort of sorry for her. How does one follow Sia and Sophie? Zero 7 should have thought better of it.
