It sounds wierd not in a British accent. You should be from London if you wanna cover this song since thats the 'hometown' that the song is written about.
This is amazing. It's two completely different styles, I don't know how people can mark it down for not being Adele. Both are good artists. What makes a good cover is being creative and adding a different flavour to the original song. Santigold definitely made this her own, I'm so proud!!
the main point of live lounge is to take a song of opposite genre of your own and make it sound like your own well santogold have maged that but ADEL ROCKS LOLOL
I think it's hard to compare these two when they have such different voices. Both are wonderful. This song is clearly better suited for Adele's voice, but the fact that Santigold has such a different take on it is awesome.
No the hell they don't before Adele there was Roberta Flack, Etta James, and Koko Taylor don't forget that shit. I LOVE ADELE but they can sing her under the rug
took me awhile to get it but i like it......Adele and Santogold quite a odd lil connection......but its really rad......Santi is the shizz i love her and of course love Adele
the only time she was out of tune was when she was attempting to sing the lower notes, 'cause she just must not be able to reach that low.
the rest was actually in tune, just not with the music.
thats the idea though, the contrast between the instruments and the vocals are what make it sound good to alot of people, plus the fact that its not perfect makes it even better.

The thing which really annoys me about this is that the style and the beat is great but doesn't fit at all with eachover ,did you listen to it,before you put it on youtube ,seriously,it makes you sound as drunk,and it's bad cuz you can really sing and the style is so like Tom wait,the beat of tom wait 's falling down would actually be perfect for your voice.Well I'm sorry
erm this is Santogold, not me. For BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. And for gods sake, she's not trying to beat Adele! She just interpreted a song that she likes in her own way. It's good in its own way, i dont think its better than the original- and i doubt she's trying to make it better than the original...
what a mong lol. this is santogold, may not be as perfect as the original. but santogold cant be too bad if shes collaborating with kanye west etc. and if you dont rate any of them. theyre still making a decent wage so im sure theyre be ok with your opinion. do agree that the singing is a bit to loud and off on some parts, but i like what shes try to do with it
