Do me a favor? Don't stop singing. Ever. Don't give in to drugs and pop culture and all that bull that makes incredibly talented people like you crash and burn. Don't let the mistakes of others steal your voice.
It's due to youtube that I get to discover new artists with different styles/genres of music, and this is the problem with TV channels like MTV they never show case these types of music anymore in my opinion, they only show justin bieber, chris brown, lil wayne, etc... it's like there trying to promote sex and violence onto kids these days, it just drives me crazy. Sorry for some misspelled/confusing sentences that I just wrote :X
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL-THE WAY SHE SINGS MAKES YOU JUST LISTEN AND LISTEN WITHOUT STUPID THINKING WHOS SONG IS THAT.I DON'T LISTEN FOR THAT KIND OF SONGS BUT ITS INCCCCCCCCCCREDIBLE AND IT JUST AMMMMMMMMMAZING. THERE ARE ONLY FEW GIRLS WHICH KNOW HOW TO CREATE A MIRACLE,ADELE,AMY WINEHOUSE(R.I.P) AND NOW ALREADY BIRDY.LOVE YOU
But.. you're really going to want to consider putting the original song owner's name somewhere on here.. not doing so could possibly get you in trouble. :/
Prefer the xx one but normally whichever one your hear first you like and i heaed the xx first so yeh oh and birdy bit of advice stop copying everyones songs and not even putting the real owners namne anywhere
Pleas come to my channel and watch my cover of birdy's song 1901. It is my first cover:) you. I'm glad it's of one of birdy's songs because her voice is sensational. <3 thanks, also If you have not seen birdy's song 1901 yet you HAVE to check it out, you'll see why. (IT'S AMAZING) <3 cheers:)
Checked both versions. The XX - Shelter (original) is more chillout. Birdy's version is more... shivers. :) She's on different level of sensibility? <3 I LOVE this video and I love parks. :) It's nice to watch it right now in cold winter days here in Poland...
If you enjoy Birdy and covers, I would really appreciate people taking a look at my video.........and add this link onto the end of youtube.com please, /watch?v=XEZ-dsADrQ0. Would love some feedback. Genevieve Gore x
i've heard shakira cover an xx song.. islands if im not wrong.. it sucked!!.. Birdy does a great job though.. I feel that the xx cant be classified into a genre.. its just the xx..
Hey nobody has said anything about the video! I mean yeah Birdy is amazing (I mean wow really amazing), but give respect to this video too. Very good one x) I really like the part at 2:33 when she swings that jacket
Im sorry to promote especially on such an amazing girl’s video but It would mean a lot if people just gave me a chance…Im Rebecca Shelley and my music is my passion. I have now put videos of myself singing, violin+guitar playing on youtube. Just please take a moment of your time to make my dreams come true.Thank you:)
She makes me cry... And she isn't Adele, she's sooo emotional, Adele too, of course, but Birdy... She's amazing. This song made me a wave of emotion. I love this song.
i love this version. i think i like it even better than the original. no offense to the original, because without it, we wouldn't have this, and the original is good in its own way. but the two versions are extremely different, and birdy is just more my style. :]
She is so young and talented! I really wish she would write her own songs, insted of covering .. She have the talent to it, it's such a big shame that the only thing we see is how she is good at covering other songs .. Please Birdy, spred your wings and fly! I'll be waiting! :')
@SelinaDreamer She does, type in Birdy - Without A Word (Demo)... Also, when did covering great songs by others become a crime? When young artists forged their careers in the past, they always delivered great covers: Jeff Buckley (Hallelujah), Jimi Hendrix (All Along The Watchtower), Aretha Franklin (Respect), to name just 3. Enjoy the talent of Birdy, because a voice like this doesn't come along very often.. & she demands attention, whatever song she's singing, imho
Do me a favor? Don't stop singing. Ever. Don't give in to drugs and pop culture and all that bull that makes incredibly talented people like you crash and burn. Don't let the mistakes of others steal your voice.
