Such a lovely voice... if only she could let it out without restraint. The vocal performance is far too contained, too precious, it doesn't even begin to convey the desperation and intensity of the lyrics.
@tapehead004 I'm sorry but if you think this is pretentious, you just don't get it. There is a fine line between pretentious and brilliant, and this is the latter.
chills indeed, swapping out the horns for electric strings was a stroke of genius... love the vocals too, her voice has a way of sticking with you long after the song is over
So what if the original is better? Let it be, a cover doesn't have to be just like the original, or have the same impact. With a cover other artists get to do there own bit. I've never heard the original, and I wont argue that it's better than this version, or has a more emotional impact. This song is still really good though, so don't just write it off.
It lost all the team work that the original version has and only a band can provide.
Now is just a bunch of compentent instrumentists following a partiture.
The voice of the chick is great, but what made the first version a classic was the fact that it was played with a huge masculine vocal and a powerfull guitar sound, and despite of this "possible contradiction" it was a very smooth song.
Now it becomes a ordinary balad, very well recorded, but still ordinary.
It's good to listen to this project, because it reminds us of how good was the original INXS. In this video, there's a bunch of talents, but they're not even close to what INXS had achieved with the original arrangements.
@paivalr well, that's opinion. in some cases, they do. in some cases, they don't. what i was trying to ask you was how this song is "not even close to what INXS had achieved with the original arrangements." when you say arrangements and achieving something in that area, i assumed you meant complexity. i'd still like to hear you answer though- how is the original better?
@SDCDIABLO musically it's good, and the vocals are definitely not cookie cutter. she has a very distinct style that you could pick out if you knew who you were listening to. not to mention she's ridiculously talented. if you want cookie cutter vocals i suggest you go listen to american idol or something.
what the violinist lacks in technical skill, he more than makes up for with his passion. very long time since I've been blown away by a solo, this was beautiful
omg!!! this is easily the best cover of the series so far. annie's voice is brilliant. and that violin solo in place of the sax solo. oh, that was great. five out of five stars all the way.
Amazing. Loved the song, her voice is beautiful, a great homage to INXS.
