This is a great cover.. my dad has a Paul McCartney version on iTunes and I cant find that recording on YouTube, it was epic.. this one is the closest to it, perfect inflection and pitch ^^
I grew up off of the Beatles, so I'm VERY picky when it comes to anyone touching their music... Great job, Sadie! She did such a great job... I think everyone did in this movie. It really helped sell the story line.
Of course, I never expect the purist "Beatles" fans to ever be satisfied...so it's understandable. BUT for a song that is admittedly written as a challenge...I don't think guys ever meant for this to be a "meaningful" song. That being said, Dana vocally kicks the living hell out of this song w/a fierceness! I believe even Paul McCartney gave his praise & blessing on this song...so what better validation do you really need?
@MrHytham101 This is my fave Musical of all time if I was to direct this as a school musical id want to be in it as Jude Feeny I thought him singing girl was just beautiful it makes me cry
@MrWilcoplus that's your opinion, and you really can't group people together like that, because being a Beatles fan pretty much has nothing to do with liking someone else's rendition of the song. Just because they tried something new doesn't make it "horrible"
@MrWilcoplus U know what im A real beatkes Fan u sir Dont know Talent when you hear it This is a 2007 Musical being bashed by YOU Id like to see you do a real Musical with theses songs and do better than Julie Taymor and have it realsed by June 2011 if you cant do it then tell me and stop your bashing of a movie that is amazing
@bluebrianajones wasn't that the point? I think she was supposed to be janis, and that black guy (forgot his name sorry) was supposed to be hendrix. but then, did janis & hendrix ever perform together, or even know each other??
This is so weird that you pointed that out because I've thought the exact same thing. I said to myself, "They've definitely based Joe Joe on Jimi Hendrix, while basing Sadie on Janis Joplin".
I won't say that she did better than Paul. They both have different voices, with hers being more raspy and Paul's being... well, not as much. They both have good renditions of the song; this one is simply modernized.
I think my favorite'll always be the original, but this one is still great.
@Ameflame1 hey voice is good by all means. I think what makes her good is that she actually remade a Beatles song, and didn't butcher it! But to say she did it better than Paul, i think, is a bit of a stretch.
I know Sadie is based off of Janis Joplin, but OH MY GOD! I didn't expect her to SOUND exactly like her! I love Across the Universe too much. Best cover of Helter Skelter, but the original always pwns all else.
To me this is the BEST cover of Helter Shelter, I love how she sound like Janis Joplin and just the sound of this makes me dance, who ever says this cover suck they are CLEARLY deaf. I know Helter Shelter from The Beatles will ALWAYS be better then cover versions. I just LOVE this movie and all the songs (except for the benefit of Mr. Kite) I really love, I love this cover! :)
Well, I was a bit nervous for that, but a lot of the covers are very good. I think you should give it a chance and if you still feel the same way then all well, at least you gave it a chance. Right?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
talking without knowing? judging by the fact that these comments are on a video for a song from the movie, and ive heard several other songs, you could say i know a thing or two about the movie's music and thats what im commenting on. its bad.
Alot of the songs "Raped" the original so to say.. they changed alot of the songs up and made them more meaning full to the movie it self, taking away from the original aspect/meaning the beatles had for the song.
damn she can sing just like janis joplin any one else notice that all the great singers and legends die of suicide or overdose kurt cobain,sid vicous, janis joplin etc..
john lennon was said to be suicide but no one really knows for sure littledrummer432 but im sure you could find more great muscians who have offed themselves more than OD
Ya. I liked this movie. Dude I feel bad listening to this song just a little because when sharon tate was killed this is what they wrote. Helter Skelter
I understand, yet I *refuse* to feel bad listening to this song because of the Tate/LaBianca murders. I think Bono said it best: "This is a song Charles Manson stole from The Beatles" - because that's exactly what he did. Stole it, raped it, pissed on it and all but destroyed it. But the song and the artists are not to blame. Every time I hear the song I give a mental middle finger to Manson and enjoy it *despite* his toxic touch.
Great song,great voice... some people are just jealous. I do miss those crazy, crazy concerts, sitting on the grass and floating on it, listening to Janis staggering around on stage and breaking your heart.
why did it suck? it had a good story and they put the songs in well with it, and the songs were well covered, obviously not like the beatles originals, but not crap. this movie was good.
Dana Fuchs's voice absolutely epitomized this song. I get shivers every time I hear this. Across the Universe and the Beatles will forever be remembered (:
it's interesting that she is Sadie because the real "sexy sadie" is the Beatles' Maharishi, a man who they eventually accused of hitting on a girl and breaking the rules of their spiritual kindling ... anyways her voice is powerful.
So Sexy!
