  • suck

    

  • it's not a bad cover but the lyrics don't suit their style of music.. they're definitely a fantastic band but i think they'd do do better with a band other than Muse (:

  • I like this cover.

  • well I liked it...

  • Comment removed

  • No offense but I think it's pointless to make a cover like that. Covers should still have the taste of their original versions, this is just a soul song using Uprising's lyrics. Also the way she sings doesn't make you feel the meaning of the lyrics.

  • she sang Uprising like a love song. I saw she wanted her boyfriend back.

  • *hands clapping* amazing

    

  • O.o

    can someone help me clean the brains of myyy walll CAUSE MY MIND WAS BLOWN

  • Terrible voice but the guitarist is cool.

  • @GetInThaKitchen ARE YOU THE FUCKING STUPIDEST PERSON ALIVE?

  • @cja1717 Nope, just realistic.

  • well done covering a song and not trying to sound exactly like the original. pretty dangerous terriroty too with your style but you guys killed it.

  • they basically ruined this song

  • MUSE!!!! <3

  • Uprising is not a big vocal song. Maybe for her, but not for Bellamy.

  • The cover was really nice :)

    Except the thing she said at the end about how "vocal" this song was. It's the problem with the Muse's covers, the Muse's music is (a big part) totally focus on the instrumental. The vocal is just .. There. Not saying that the covers of their songs that I hear is bad, it's really not that. It's just that people see it too much far then it REALLY is.

  • This is one of the VERY FEW covers that don't deserve the thumbs downs... how can you think this is bad? i don't even understand. i LOVE Muse, but i think this is awesome.

  • @DplatinumG Uprising is a song about starting a revolution. IT needs to be sang in a different tone: the one you use when you are pissed off/ want an UPRISING... So this cover was not a good one, in my opinion.

  • I'm surprised at all the dislikes. I haven't heard these two before, but this was a really different cover, in the best way possible.

  • It's legit don't make it into lounge music

  • My god you people need to open your minds to great music and singers. Both version are awesome. some people have an ear for music like nikki and rich. Unlike some of you haters. If ya don't like it then screw off. Good job nikki and rich. By the way Nikki you have fantastic teeth.

  • pfff. dont ruin muse with sucky styles... this song written against illuminati not a teenager boy lol

  • No one can't cover Muse .... everytime it sounds like nightmare ..

  • buuUuU! MUSE INSUPERABLE 

  • i think it's an awesome cover!!!

  • I'm split. I mean, its a real unique look at the song, but the jazzy-remix loses EVERYTHING that made the song great.

  • @thegmanofEAP This is a lovely, emotionally true cover. I kinda like Muse, but I despise their frothy fans who are all hard for the lead singer's Buckley-wannabe runs.

  • @phorcysx My whole thing is that it losing the revolution, uprising sound (hence the name). They nailed making the song their own, but its like turning My Heart Will Go On into a rock song; it might be a good cover, but the sing isn't meant to sound like that.

  • wow, um... that's actually terrible. just saying. :(

  • how horrible is this,,first of all who told you you can sing,please do not do this. if you want to sing do it with songs of justin biewer or whetever his name is and that will be ok.

  • fucking lame.. seriously.

  • I really think this is a decent cover. its obviously not as in your face as muse but still I'm digging it.

  • Instrumentation is good. I just don't like the voice, just an opinion though. Drummer did great...

  • Terrible cover.

    She probably had to ask for a sheet with the words before doing this video.

    After that, she had to ask if she sounded "black enough" on the recording.

    *shrug*

  • FUCK IT.

  • i thought it was a really good interpretation :) the beginning is gooood

    and i love her voice

  • I love her voice. Love! So powerful. Yes, they changed it some, but it's their interpretation. That's was a good cover is, you don''t perform it the same exact way as the original artist, because what's the point? This is what any good artist would do, which is put their own twist on their favorite songs.

  • ok what the heck, this isnt even like the same song.... they changed everything about the song except the lyrics..... what the heck

  • annoying

    

  • SOFT

  • I like the cover, but its better to look away from her mouth. It's sad when people use ugly mouth to sing.

  • Total misinterpretation of the song...

  • whaaaaat this is great, what's the deal? it's a cover, it's supposed to be different. she's got soul alright, and it seems they still captured the meaning of the song

  • guys, it's soul, not rock

  • People!! Stop covering Muse songs! As far as vocals, they are all horrible!!

  • Este cover es un asco :/

  • its called a cover..no one is gonna do it perfect...they did a amazing job!!!

  • good interpretation, but she's singing like it'd be the text about love or something like that... But no. Her voice... Since 2:24 i cannot stand her.

  • great job, different style.

  • awfullllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllllllllllll

  • somehow all the covers for this song seemed AMAZING !

    Althoughh I'm pretty much disappointed by this one. :(

  • It's like the soul version... its not bad but not better than the original

  • It's...........interesting....­................

  • I actually don't hate it at all, don't understand all the dislikes. It's obviously nothing like the original, but is that really a bad thing? If I wanted the original I'd listen to the original. I prefer the original, but this is interesting in it's own right.

  • guuys -__-

    a good cover has to sound different from the original ..or otherwise it would just be boring if they'd all sound alike, wouldn't it?

    I love Muse and I think this cover is good. Maybe not amazing but definitley not as bad as you guys say

  • hahaha all of you guys sound like little babies..if i were the momma i would slap or spank the shit of you...i think this cover is amazing!!! none of you can do something like this..so stop being such little asshole babies...

  • omg , it´s just a cover! it´s her own interpretation of "uprising". so stop insulting nikki & rich!

  • They even said the song was so different from them. It didn't work at all. Said for her she over sung it.

  • Wow, you guys are harsh. I don't much like this style of music, and muse are (or were) my favourite band, but she does have a good voice and they did do something interesting with the song, even if it was make it ino RnB-ish. Because you don't like something does not make it bad.

  • wow it was not that bad u guys , it gave a new flavor to the song and honestly for a female it honestly couldn't have been song better!

  • I really liked this! I thought it gave another aspect to the song; a somewhat more-accessible version.

  • She is so exaggerated. You can find all the worst pop clichés when she sings. A Muse song? I'm quite sure you should cover some kind of Miriam Carey song.

  • Am i the only Muse fan that actually likes this cover? I hella dig the acoustic guitar and she's got quite a bit of soul in that voice.

  • @allenmarkca

    You're not the only muse fan that likes this, I enjoyed it. It's far different than bellamy's version. but that's okay, it's catchy..

  • Wtf this is a bullshit!

    Musee only muse ! .l. nikki

  • Slowed down a song that needs a massive beat to it, fucking idiots.

  • Anyone, please pause at 2:32

    Freakin fugly bitch.

  • It obviously sounds nothing like Muse but that's because it's just a different take on the song :p And trust me, she is no Matt Bellamy but it's still a good cover. They dont do a bad job on their own take of the song. Just chill everybody. Its not bad, just different.

  • @ImitatingLimitations Definitely. It is a VERYYYY soulful version of the song. Usually, I don't like soul covers of these forms of songs, but this is AMAZING! I don't get why people don't like it. It's a different version. I guess some people don't like change.

  • What the hell is going on with the guitar?!?!? Is his amplifier inside an aquarium that is inside a cardboard box that is inside and sound proof chamber?

    What the hell is going on with the chorus?!?!?

  • Eww.. who the fuck are Nikki and Rich? This shit is a insult to one of my fav. bands....

  • Just because you people like the original song doesn't mean you have to hate this band's version of of the song. They did really good! I would like to see you sing the song and see how you do. And if you listen at the end of the video they say "we didn't want to compete with their version of the song" and that they wanted to have a more acoustic sound. All you people that wrote negative comments are HATERS! H.A.T.E.R.S= Having Anger Towards Everyone Reaching Success.

  • ...You people are really mean, you know. Can you do any better? No? Didn't think so.

    Personally, I don't think this is so bad. It's pretty good in my opinion. But that's just me.

  • Unfortunately, one of the defining features of Muse is their funky original guitar riffs. Even if you wanted an acoustic feel, removing them entirely feels, to me, like a mistake. However: a songs Cover is meant to take what you like about a song and change the rest of it's world around to reflect your own viewpoint of it. As a cover, I loved it, however, I feel like too much of the soul of the song was compromised. Incredible effort, though! Keep up the good work!

  • ah........no!

  • dont make it like a slow jam make it more like james durbin cover or the normal version

  • The eff-ed it up BADLY. PLEASE REMOVE THIS VIDEO gawd they sound awful

  • sure this song might not have been the best choice for her, but she has a beautiful voice. better than the other big pop stars today. just sayin

  • This is actually a great cover! The idea with a cover is to redo the song totally differently! The girl actually has a nice voice but very screamy on the high parts

  • not bad!!...its good

    

  • Comment removed

  • you have good voice, but maybe u should cover another song. not muse :)

  • Oooh holy shit. It all goes to pot on the second chorus doesn't it? Shit me girl!

  • Wow)

  • lol I think this is the best it will get in this style, and is definitely a fantastic try, but it just doesn't work. :( Great voice and attempt though!

  • If nobody told me it was a Muse cover, I would have thought it cool. But comparing it to Muse? Heck, Muse would make anyone sound bad. Lol.

  • @heelrunner Check out Hearts of Saints cover of Uprising from Zanesville OH show.. Pretty darn good. Not Muse,,, but really good!

  • she has a very good voice but I dont think that this style suits this song at all or any of Muse's songs really.

  • we will never be afraid to die??? WTF?

  • if you don't compare it with the way muse does it (why should you) it's pretty amazing

  • if she's goin to sing muse , or this kind of music in this way , she's just fuckin thier music up , truly she has a good voice but she destroyed this song with her style

  • if she's goin to sing muse , or this kind of music in this way , she's just fuckin thier music up , truly she has a good voice but she destroyed this song with her style

  • do not "pop-soul" a Muse song. Your voice is good, but it doesn't sounds good with Muse's music style :)

  • She is a good singer, but her vocal styling does not match this song at all.

  • @JayGB87 I agree... she's actually good.... but not for muse songs...

  • i muse sono alternativi....questo non lo è!

  • It's not bad but her soul voice sounds bad with muse's songs.

  • Well i don't think it's really bad, but i like the original more =)

  • you're better off making sandwiches

  • omg this is very shit..

  • horrendous 

  • NICE! I thinkkkk she did great!!

  • fuck u bitch!!!

  • you are fucking bitch!! your voice like pig!!you stupid like pig!!!

  • I totally respect all genres of music, and totally like what you guys have done with some other songs, but this just plain sucks. Please, stay away from Muse. Forever.

  • @ShaunTighe That seems pretty narrow minded if you respect all genres...

    I like the original Muse version better but this is a very respectable at making a non karaoke cover of it.

  • the whole point of a cover is for it to be different than the original guys... smh

  • this sucks

  • fail? D:

  • wow..this is rock not some blues/acoustic type shit..nothing against those genres but this song does NOT work with it.

  • WTF

  • Why.. no, no... WHYYY?

  • @GodOfMusic96 i think u meant the text from exogenesis: overture: why, why, why? :D

  • Oh gosh. Okay, in my opinion:

    Muse songs = beautifully brilliant.

    Muse songs sang by other people = Totally ruined.

    You don't understand. Muse songs should only be sang by MUSE. Their songs are so incredibly high standard, it makes it impossible for others to make Muse songs as good as Muse makes it. Sorry, you ruined the song :/

  • I understand the drummer. Just put headphones on your ears and don't hear that freakin' ugly voice of that b*tch

    by the way.. love it from 4:14 till 4:52, the rest is just... shit...

  • @MaurijnMusic You honestly don't understand music and singing. This was truly a great vocal. Just because it's not the same style as muse doesn't mean it's bad. It's something very different from muse. But it's good. And the whole point of mashup mondays. Something you wouldn't expect. It wasn't pitchy. it wasn't off key.

    Don't hate cause you don't understand music my friend.

  • @ChrisWooleyAC actually, i ám a musician. and my point is not that averything different than muse is bad, but the voice of her is just terrible. the begin is not that bad at all. but the chorus: "they will not force us....victorious" is just like a cow who's shitting. you know. she can sing, but please don't try muse again.

  • @MaurijnMusic

    they werent that bad... I mean they cant beat Muse but still...

  • jajajajajajajajaja, yeah!!!!!!!!!!! its horrible voice!!!!!!!!!

  • @MaurijnMusic you can shut your mouth . don't talk if you don't know what your talking about

    everybody has they're opinions,

    hiphop rock rap, all different

    there's a taste that everybody has.

    just don't put down the singer.

  • They are covering the song and making it more like their style of music. That's generally what one should do when they sing a cover. You do not want to perform it exactly like the original. This cover is nowhere near as bad as many of you are saying. I actually don't think it is bad at all.

  • No. Just no. Just because you can vocal warble, doesn't mean you should. Ever

  • This cover blows boat people.

  • Wow I almost couldn't recognize the song. This cover makes me a sad panda.

  • Please, I tis people like you who ruin MUSE!You guys are very talented but this takes the meaning out of this song for me :(

  • Omg DIE.

  • NObody has a so wonderful voice like matthew that is soooooooo bad

  • it's not supposed to be soulful!!!! its supposed to be angry! if it was supposed to be soulful Matt would've made it that way!!!!!!!!!

  • HORRIIIIIIIIIIIBLE !!!! :'( A BIG MASSACRE !!!!! i hate this ! =/

  • Hey, is it Muse or Beyoncé?

  • yeah she has a good voice.. but this song has to be LOUD and ANGRY..

  • awesome cover.

    People a COVER is your own version of the song, you dont have to do it EXACTLY the same.

  • It's not a carbon copy. I see this as a good thing. I enjoyed it!

  • It. Lacks. Power.

  • you fucked it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fairly karaoke....

  • @ddoheny08 Have you ever done karaoke? They changed the instrumental and she sings differently. How does that equal karaoke in any way?

  • @guylowme Hi - I should of given more explanation to my previous comment - The song is played well and sang well but the sound overall of the cover is very cabaret maybe not karaoke. Just feedback and I meant no offence. :-)

  • @ddoheny08 Cabaret. Yes. :p

  • I like it! Jazzy! :D

  • i´ll give u thumps up only becuse ur hot thats all

  • das ist ja voll der rotz ey

    so einen müll habe ich lange nicht mehr gesehen

  • sie kann ja ganz gut singen aber ich finde da fehlt einfach was...

    kommt nicht im Ansatz ans Original ran

  • [b]i liked it so much 

  • pretty good but could have been better. they should've jazzed it up a bit (literally). like add saxophones and all that

  • God, I'm so ashamed to be a Muse fan. They're not gods. They're men. Who make amazing music. So shut the fuck up and get off your high horses. The cover's OK.

  • yeah that's a big piece of shit

  • it's not that bad...

  • You Disrespected the gods of music.SHAME on YOU!

  • @mitsubishievoman "for thinking your an exception" xD

  • That underbite she has at 5:08 makes her look so retarded, yet so fucking sexy.

  • Too Christina Aguilera....dont like it really. U killed the essence of the song

  • Wow you fucked it up pretty bad.

  • She said in another interview that Muse is one of her favorite bands. This is just her way of showing that. And a damn amazing job at that XD

  • This song played this way is amazing it has a very soul edge to it. I have never herd of this band before so I don't know their original style. But this cover has a feel of it's own almost like it's own song. I almost like this better than the original...

  • shit, at least have a better drum beat

  • i tak oto mój kochany zespół MUSE teraz widzi że ktoś i tak musi zniszczyć coś pięknego

  • A.Y.F.K.M ?!

    no błagam przecież to piosenka rockowa a oni zrobili z tego jakieś pop gówno !

  • Wrong style. Usually like different interpretations but this song is a rise to power not a laid back exercise in cool

  • they did a good job. just because it's not like the original, don't hate on it. listen for her voice. it's beautiful and full and she did a wonderful job.

  • I like it. I think it's interesting.

  • its a shame to cover muse! may be she has a good voice but nobody can cover muse! 

  • hey guys..this is just a cover...

    great voice.. :)

  • man i noticed that no one can really cover muse well.....or at all in most cases.

  • <3__<3 white guitar! I love it!
