The only other version of this song that i really enjoyed was by HIM. But it's because they didnt try to match Chris Isaak, they made it their own way. I have yet to see anyone really do justice to Chris's masterpiece. Nina is talented in her own way, that is obvious.
wooooooooooow .. thats awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats my fav song.. an i hear a lot of covers. but thats the best.. con muchos sentimientos.... wooooow ... Thank U =)
I once played a game like that and try to listen to all the covers to see if they capture the essence of it. its painful its sad its loaded with human emotion. this cover does a great job in capturing it.
@wereallfakingit1 rebecca fergurson's version?!?! to me this is much better... if you heard sandra pereira's version you would have an eargasm x) and by the way she did won portuguese idol
Best cover of this song on youtube. Elegant, bluesy, misterious, a bit of the 80s too. He reminds me a bit of Natalie Merchant. Great performance Nina!!!
@ojrlaxdude i understand why you say that. people can react on diffrent ways on other people,with negative energie,negative thoughts and with a understanding vieuw so i see on your words what kind of feeling is behind.
OK , I am getting sick of these slowed down versions. It is fine if used once in a while on songs like Mad World. But not every song needs this kind of treatment. Pretentious cover.
it doesnt have to go quickly, its a live acoustic version where shes making a true connection without any worry of time constraints. so i think most people would think its going at a very intimate and beautiful pace. She picks it up at certain points but at other points she slows down because she has a strong emotional connection to the lyrics. its a great cover
in this life and the next she will always b in my heart it was always written in the stars. second chances happen for a reason i'd like to think it was always fate. feelings like this only come once in a life time, love every second like its your last and don't let this world break your heart
This is an incredibly different, bluesy interpretation, and frankly, it's powerful. It's simply not the same song as Isaak's. It's a variation, an interpretation with entirely different emotion. She's got a lovely voice, the mood is -completely- different, and, yes, while 'everyone and their mom' has a WG cover, some of them happen to be amazing. Nova. Bassboosa. Jette-Ives.
Look for the good ones; ignore the rest. I'm adding Nina to this list of rare great ones.
I miss the band, i think that this gilr has a lot of power in her voice to make a soft version, with a band she would sound much better... Chris Isaak can make it work because he is a soft singer, but Nina shoud try something stronger. Drums, electric guitars, more sound for her!!!. Soft music is for sotf singers. Maybe if she put more air in the words to make it softer, but i like strong vocals so. Thats my opinion.
What i feel with that song its not as tragical as original, but more intimal, more lonely, more secretly... I love that version, as i keep loving Chris Isaac as well :)
If no one but chris isak ever sung this song, it would be a tragic neglect of such a beautiful resource. Everyone who finds meaning in this song should sing it. That is the beauty of music. It is available to everyone. Do a search of cover songs and you will see many brilliant performances
Holy Shit. Very Very Very Very Nice Cover. The emotion in her voice was amazing! Now, I must admit, I usually prefer male vocals and guitars for a "Wicked Game" cover, but I'll be damned if this wasn't one of the most evocative versions I've heard. The lack of guitar was a little glaring at first for me, but the sheer power of her voice blew it away and the guitar didn't seem to matter anymore. I will definitely be keeping my eye on Nina June! <3<3<3<3
The release of Nina Junes first album 'Little Dreams' will be on May 9th 2008. This clip was recorded during a training of new TV Directors at our Academy. They started performing at 9 AM and all day I had goosebumps after.
Nienke and guys, you rock! Congrats with your first album!
