[ViviBlackmyst]

Whoa guys, stop hatin'! I think she did a great job- it's just a different style. If you don't like La Roux's style, don't park here and spread all your hate to those who are just enjoying the music. If you prefer that gritty rock stuff then keep on moving because this isn't for you.

Geez.

[EManic29]

Stop hating on La Roux! >:( You don't like it, go troll another vid. Go listen to a genre of music you're intrested in. High is cool!

[syahirahsazali]

I like la roux or elly or... yeah... but this is too high. Sorry I don't like it.

[larouxfan15]

this song was stuck in my head for weeks after my great aunt rosemary died. RIP aunt rosemary

[flyworld3]

Why has she ruined one of my favourite songs ever?

[Dendiol]

A great cover, although could be improved if she sung a key lower.

[WombaticWhiteLies]

Eesh, whats that horrible rining sound in my ears? Oh its just La Roux trying to sing

This is total crap. Either she thinks shes good enough to cover a White Lies song (which she isnt) or she was made to do this and couldnt be bothered so shrieked her way through to the last note. She ripped this song apart threw the pieces on the floor then realised what she'd done so tried to stick them back together with her crappy voice. White Lies put meaning into their songs, La Roux doesnt.

[MyCaptainTesla]

a very different twist on the original song, maybe thats what she was going for? I love the original, and I like this one

[InsertStraw]

I dont understand what any of you are on.... I LOVE this cover... S:

[TheFidodude]

Dont reeeally like this cover :S

[zantonian7]

white lies r way better!this version sucks! GO WHITE LIES!!!!WHOOP WHOOP!

[Dendiol]

Sounds like Super Mario

[hd234445]

its a bit hard to understand the lyrics but i still love it

[kestrelsuper123]

completely and utterly killed this song cheers ginge

[spiffysquid]

But.. but.. I like this cover... am I missing something?

[NomNomChew]

i kinda like the twist, but i like the original better

[12sasssa12]

What the fuck is this ??!! really Bad!

White Lies rulez!!!!

[88mates]

i like about three or four songs from la roux, but this cover is baaaaad :(

[legallyinsane456]

Uhmmmmmmm this sucks.

[SmokinGun95]

nah, c'mon, the original is much better (this sounds dumb anyway)...

[TheHzhzhz]

yep, love La Roux, love Elly.. but White Lies GOT this song ;)

[KendellLGS]

Love Elly and La Roux :D :D :D :D :D

[peachtree50]

nahhh dont like it

[jaylo1997]

go away la roux. white lies rulez~

[Smosherino]

SHUT UP LA ROUX.

[LittleTheSkittle]

@Smosherino If you hate her then why did you look or click on her music huh?..oh so you like smosh? yeah so do i your a disgrace to smosh and the world thank you and good day

[Smosherino]

@LittleTheSkittle i'm not a disgrace. she's absolutely destroyed this song hahaa, i clicked on her because i was absolutely horrified that she's done a cover of such a brilliant song. good day :)

[lggboy12]

love the intro

[Lightview2]

WHAT IS THIS?

don't ruin good music with that shit voice!

[ParamoreFrida]

WHITE LIES IS SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!! This is NOT "her song" ... doesn't fit to her voice..

[TheTeresseS]

I have to admit that she is very talented, but still, the original by White Lies is better

[Twinsrule23]

Does anyone hear that tamberine?

[TKarmel94]

watch?v=wZGrG6QFsgI - Farewell (...) by La Roux in Live Lounge

[larouxrocks38]

i am a 12 year old boy who thinks la roux is the best .when is la roux comeing to denver colorado

[Twinsrule23]

who even knows who the white lies are? love this !!

[mayamita]

@Twinsrule23 Who are White Lies? WOW, this was low!

[runrig45]

come on, please stop hating so much..

she did this cover in live lounge like many other bands do different covers.

I for one am actually impressed that she managed to take this song and make it so much her own, it's really nothing like the original.. the simplicity and her pure voice makes this a worthy cover..

even White lies says so.. no reason to be trollin

[f3cktherich]

I love the original by white lies, this doesn't do it justice.. To me it sounds like cats crying, awful. She managed to destroy my favourite part, the "keep on running" part too.

[larouxcrazy]

thumbs up if you hate comments that tell u put thumbs up!

[edwardpoppy]

@larouxcrazy Oh the irony.

[mefinzo123]

its too simple white lies had a complexity to the songs

[Dancinglollipop21]

Her voice is too high pitched for this song. Still, it's not a bad cover.

[maysh83]

Ick. I'll stick with White Lies.

[Ms000toocoolforyou]

This version is legit.

[larouxcrazy]

@Ms000toocoolforyou nice.

[TheProductofsociety]

nah do u? if u do is it good?

[thecheesemaster53]

it's thanx 2 this that i discovered white lies

[TheProductofsociety]

@thecheesemaster53 LMAO ME TOO AND I LIKE THIS VERSION OF THE SONG BETTER

[thecheesemaster53]

@TheProductofsociety Im not sure if i like it more than the original, but its still really good! Do you have the white lies album 'to lose my life'?

[Dendiol]

Good cover, just her voice is a little too high.

[JeromeBertrem1]

I don't like it.

[aberinkula6232]

fucking voice fucking cover.... sucks!!!!

[noja10000000]

she hates white lies that much?

[roserenamed]

@noja10000000 But imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, no? And I actually think it's not bad. For her voice, which is unbelievably high.

[eveliniscool]

Her voice sounds like a little girl's... and the beat sounds like it's from Mario.

[TheProductofsociety]

This version of this song sounds so much better than the original by white lies no offense they are good as well but I prefer this version.

[soloadriansito]

i love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[nicolico1987]

i love you la roux

[dydburaz6667]

what the hel is this shit?!?!?! x( my ears are bleeding

[foxyzee18013626]

@dydburaz6667 its bettr than anythin u could ever do

[joaosas]

shitty version

[joaocraveiro04]

is she dying? this is awfull. her voice is horrible an the beat is almost as bad

[SVflagadvisor1]

La Roux i hope she keeps these awesome songs coming and i hope one day to see her in concert :)

[larouxrocks38]

i love all of la roux songs even if they are covers

[spamuelpeeps]

white lies make this ong good :) x

[airbornemilk89]

I prefer the original. This ones decent.

[Omotenium]

Really hope that's them working with Elly on her next album. White Lies and La Roux are the only new bands I've liked past five years.

[kontestator1222]

White Lies rulezzz

[KayceeSparks]

She has such a unique voice that fits perfectly with this song <3

All you haters can go and get lost on another video ( :

[koteskana]

too squeaky. i don't like it.

[A12CH1T3CT]

Then listen the original version of what lies!!!! Why peaople alwasy see and listen people that don't like it and then they feel they can say shit about someone else work...... if u don't like it is ok..but be a little respectfull

[defected96]

i realy sucks :P

[wolflistener]

Nice try... I like it, no cover can beat the original but still this is an interesting cover

[BluexMuffinx]

she sucks

[russomorrissey]

honestly, she is trying to reach high notes that she can`t. would be so much, so much better if she try to sing in low notes or chance 1 tune lower, al least. the best part ~keep on running~ ... There is no place like home it sounds terrible. but, well, `m not here to say that she sucks.. i`m just saying she did it in a terrible way on this song

[charlottethesteggles]

Wow, this sucked. Big time. White Lies wouldn't be pleased.

[MrYorkyporky]

Like trapesing through sticky horse shit!

[persianpopprincez7]

wth she ruined the song

white lies is soooooooooo much better

[randomlyHpyper]

this is shittttt, the original is sooo much better !!!

[mellbelle2913]

nice try...

[TanyaRiver]

Nothing beats the original, especially not this one.

[KusinerneAF]

I love this! I love the original too! This is such an amaizing song!!!

[Elcaliam]

lol this is horrible

[punktwat]

wow, that just ruined my favourite song ever... :/ i don't mind la roux normally, but she shouldn't have covered a song like that.

[bethelstonn]

@punktwat I know.. its just really annoyingly high pitched. Killed my favouritest song in the world :'(

[GroupSkypeSheep]

shit

[IvarHuisman]

This song isnt all about the singing, this version has a lame electro back beat to it, which takes away the whole feeling to the song, her singing isnt bad but the cover is, you cant just take the song, remove everything it has but the singing and think its still a nice song in my opinion.

[irenezuelilla]

I think this is way better than the original,her voice is just magic...

[yogaman99]

tutti......

[iliekfriedchicken]

my favorite band covering my favorite bad.

my brain just exploded.

[DreamingOn26]

I like the song in general, and both artists sing it with their own style, which is even better

[huskymusher97]

Is there a new album coming out?

[HardskullRock10]

I think this cover is better than White Lies' cover. Of course, there are some of you who disagree with me.

[nicosantimo]

fucking gorgeus

[mojoman541]

dam this is so shit..the original is a million times better...she sounds like she's being done up the arse...

[UncleGrumbles]

@mojoman541

my friend, that is the appeal of this cover

[huskymusher97]

@mojoman541 i thnk you should shut up and accept theat some of us like la roux!!!!

[mojoman541]

@huskymusher97 rofl soz i keep forgetting people have a taste for talentless computerised shit :D

[Memelisciousxoxox]

@mojoman541 Talentless computerized?... Uh have you even heard La Roux live, No? Oh alright then shut up =P

[soccermadness16]

@Memelisciousxoxox hehe i agree w/ u.... la roux is TALENTED!! and she is better than most singers these days!

[sheogorath19]

@soccermadness16 i've heard better... she sound quite ok... certainly not the best

[hangxaxstar]

@mojoman541 they have had this "computerized shit" sence johnny cash you would be surprised how many used it

[TillmannBTVdrums]

@mojoman541 alright dude i want you to search quicksand acoustic. a perfect example of how amazing of a singer she is. and it's really not all that computerized because they're using synthesizers which take talent to play. so i don't know where you're getting your facts.

[AlynnaRose789]

i want harry mcveigh charles cave jack brown

WHITE LIES always and forever

[sluchaczkawka]

she has incredible voice :)

[sluchaczkawka]

całkowite pożegnanie, bo i fizyczne.

[sluchaczkawka]

pożegnanie cyrku życiowego

[cosmicintoxication]

the shit.

Original Song FTW

[ellyinamerica]

i have just read a comment and yes this IS a live performance. i dont ususally comment but i jut had to. you can follow me and la roux at myspace and facebook.

[gizi92]

she sounds like she is about to die

[eddiemarriott]

Can some on please recomend some good electro bands like la roux???

[gaber1346]

@eddiemarriott little boots, agnes, goldfrap, yelle, 

[eddiemarriott]

@gaber1346 3/4 ive heard of but yelle! ill take a look at him/her/them! :) thanks!

[timbotones24794]

This is AWFUL. The original is so much more powerful.

[daderth]

like a sinister vision. ♥

[oddbloc]

At first I didn't think much of this but now I love it!!

The original is pretty good but La Roux's style makes it even better.

[lilcookiegirl2009]

wheres the lyrics?!

[1r0neagleftw]

people don't realise this is a LIVE performence.

i mean wow the white lies live performence was pretty weak..

[14SpiritedAway02]

@1r0neagleftw exactly,I totally agree.

[zerrumz]

geiles teil!

[TheEnemyRules]

i prefer this cover to the original white lies version, ;D

[DariusDaGreat86]

the vocals are very dodgy on this one. The auto-tuning machine must have been broken :/

[Bikropedy]

Just Horrible ... I love La Roux but , no way ... Did she takes helium ?

Furthermore nothing original in this cover , disappointing !

[sokkasgirl890]

her voice is just fucking delicious. oh yum. ;3

[123KattyKitty]

La Roux fucked it up. its no where near as good as the original. just saying.

[RainingRain1]

la roux is betta then white lies >:)

[Weltenhund]

In my opinion the original is much better, cause' I just can feel the music and the emotion.

White Lies are great!

[pinklotus2008]

her voice is too high pitch for this song

[Omotenium]

Two great bands! Love it when bands do this.

[camilaarm88]

Much better than the original! I'm addicted to this song (L)

[Mabbeld]

I like the cover a bit more, but they're both very good.

[ruggedboyuzi1425]

she has the best voice in the world!!!

[RockCocoPuffs]

she copied the white lies!!!!

besides she sounds terrible

[KusinerneAF]

@RockCocoPuffs i think she sounds fantastic. and she didnt copied them, she just made a cover... but its totally cool if you don't like it. of course

[LeonJC123]

i'd love to fuck the granny out of la roux

[cancionesbuenas]

@LeonJC123 lol

[meatkitchen]

@LeonJC123 LAD

[mezalong]

and her mum, old june akinson 4rom the bill. sweet as a polo mate.

[basketballSTAR107]

love this song!! Elly rocks <3<3<3<3

[KusinerneAF]

How can she get her voice to sound like that? She is so talented! Not to mention funny and SO cool. And she's so beautiful and got the awesommest hair! Elly<3

La Roux is so great I love their music. Amaizing cover.

[Kenzofeis]

@KusinerneAF "How can she get her voice to sound like that?"

She got no balls ^^

[KusinerneAF]

@Kenzofeis Of course not, she's a female, duh.

[susischimsandalfon]

Prety boring compared to the original.

[1r0neagleftw]

La Roux has a AMAZING voice,

i really hope she keep making these amazing songs..

all her songs are so catchy and so good!

[busya37]

LAROUX wo ai ni !!!

from China

[britdemo]

2:15 onwards is like she is having an orgasm

[timxgibbs]

@britdemo lmfao, this ruined the song for me. like i couldn't listen to that part on thinking that without laughing. oh my goddd. maybe it's just because it's 6 am.

ANYWAY, IMO~* i like the original version better. i love la roux but she's having some major tone deaf issues here. :/

[agasaff]

OMG.

i never heard that song before.

she is the best!

[sssstevo]

personnally i prefer the white lies song :) but thats cuz i heard it first :P and everyone knows the first version you hear will always be better for you ;)

[0needleinahaystack0]

My most favorite la roux song. ^^

[otter13]

ok, so ive never heard this song before. so i went to the White Lies version first....meh, its decent but nothing i would want to listen to again. Now i listened to this version. IMO this is better and i would totally listen to this version many more times.

[LiveForYourLive]

I like this cover!! La Roux is the best!

[DennisPelle]

tbh, i just listened to the original song.. and i think it's bad.

La roux sings this way better.

[MiniCosi]

@DennisPelle Grow some balls.

[PostihBorka]

yeah your right you are a shit!

[1mutsnuts]

how old are you 5

[Billie18Jean]

greatness!!

[acidofosforiko]

are you all gone nuts??? o.O are you serious when you say that this thing is better than white lies? first take the 40cm baseball bat off of her ass, and the try to make her sing normally...anyway...way better white lies

[kannoe007]

Haha :P

I prefer the original, by White Lies :) But it's a nice cover by La Roux though ;)

[JacobGrimmFollower]

@acidofosforiko The White Lies version is better of course because it's the original song and it had more of the artists' original voice but La Roux did a good job in making it a different style. No need to be vulgar about it. If yo don't like it, no one forces you to listen to it

[britdemo]

@JacobGrimmFollower i agree im proper into the original but i love this , its so different .she has a good voice n to be honest im crap at karreoke so 5*

[nicoole818]

i wish this song was on the album she sings it better than the original singer ive heard him

[Aleks7923]

new talent

[BradenBoe]

Great song and great cover.
