This is one of my favorite covers of yours and your interpretation of it just blows my mind. I have no better way of describing it. You inspired me to learn this one myself and I try to sing it like you because I honestly think you bring more to this song than the original.
Very good job!! from a long time Beatles fan you done a very respectable job here most people screw up Beatles covers its so hard to capture the way they done these songs as they seemed to have a talent for doing them the way they should be done but you seemed to have gotten it down to a science here very good.-Loren pickerill on youtube lpickerill1
You're really talented. But, the one issue I'll raise is that you seem to be applying a certain affect to your voice that takes away from the song: the sleepy-growl comes across as attention-seeking rather than true emotion. It's as if you're trying to convince people of your emotional attachment rather than just showing them. You have the tools to be a great singer, but you're relying on the current tone of whimsy that doesn't translate. Besides that, your technique is great. Good luck.
this is a perfect choice for you. someone called it "haunting" and i will agree with that. it just fits you well. your performance is different enough to be interesting but where you really nail it is the vocal. well phrased, kind of melancholy, and i can hear the "Lazy: in the vocal. excellent choice. fantastic performance. i am very impressed with your take on what could have been a disaster. it's easy to enjoy beatles music, VERY hard to cover without sounding goofy. tremendous job.

you're a little too laid back for your own good madam! you look and sound LAZY. as though you dislike what you're doing. are you bored? you look like it .you remind me of an ex chick of mine,she was an idle bastard that wouldn't vacuum around the house. if you've never tried drugs...well i suggest you do so very soon, it may just pep you up enough to make it appear you are interested in singing a song.
Perhaps you should try it. Pick up a guitar and show us how it's done, mate. Checked out your site... hoping to find something that would lead me to the opinion you may have some offering that might be inspirational. Nothing but someone elses canned top 40 BS... the "CORPORATE" stuff. Don't get out much, eh?
@punchdrunque got the hots for her ,eh pal? straight to her defence...yeah man ,you can make a case for her because you wanna poke her puddings, me> ill throw in some constructive criticism now and again, and-if it good enough-words of encouragement. you have a big problem mr attitude man...you are not right most of the time like you tell yourself and anyone else that you are. i'm out ALL the time,try it,it's great,
This is one of my FAVOURITE Beatles songs......I have to say well bloody done to you! ...Guitar and vocal sonded great. Haunting..sounded a bit psychedelic/Gypsy-like! I rarely like Beatles covers.Good to see other young people with good influences. will check out more of your videos.
i think you are about the most beutiful person i have ever seen. your beutiful, and you have a great taste in music and can express it yourself in such a way that it hits a chord, at least with me. beutiful.
She can sing it however her little heart desires. If you think she should sing it upbeat, then sing it upbeat. I enjoy this morose version. That's why music is beautiful. It is all opinion. There are no lines in the sand.
dont lose your straight-forward approach kiersten. feels slightly more like american idol territory compared to your other covers. for me the original song is tinged with humourous apathy not melancholic seriousness hence the slightly faster tempo. lennon would never be this self-indulgent. love your other stuff though!!!
Well, you changed the melody in a couple of times, and didnt play the bass line on the brake, but anyway its cool and I'm not going to be an asshole, 5 stars =)
Holy cow, Kiersten. You've got such an instrument in that voice of yours. It's so expressive and interesting. This is now my favorite cover of yours. Please, do what it takes to make a cover album. It would easily best the covers done by Cat Power, at least in my book. Also, come to Houston so I can do promo photos for you. I won't charge you a dime!
She's staring at a one dimensional camera and under the circumstances, she's professional. Her voice is like a ghost from the roaring twenties. It sends chills down my spine and I'm a hardcore kinda dude.
Most people would not watch a screen of black. The fact that she is pretty helps the song along somewhat. I think the fact that her videos are simple places the emphasis/focus on the music.
Awesome. You should cover here there and everywhere
