Amanda Palmer: Exit Music by Radiohead at Sydney Opera House

[SCharlesDennicon]

It looks like some people here find Amanda's voice "boring". So my question is... wtf ?

[QuietIndigo]

That was one of the best things I've ever seen.

[MusicalMi]

I may catch a lot of flack for this... but this woman's cover of this makes me believe I can go out and be a successful professional singer if that's as good as you have to be..... this is really off key , pitchy, and if not for the overbearing string section it would have been unbearable. (especially the everlasting peace section)

[QuietIndigo]

@MusicalMi hahahhah.

hah.

hahahahahah.

you are right, you could easily be a professional singer.

just sing poppy bullshit like kesha or something.

it is not hard.

[Setheth]

@MusicalMi let's be honest amanda palmer wouldn't have a career if she just did covers... her voice alone isn't that great but her songwriting is stunning... if you can write songs as good as hers i couldn't give a toss what you sang like ... in short she's not a "successful professional singer" ... she's a fucking amazing musician

[MyWORDisntGospel]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!

[MyWORDisntGospel]

Damn, what's with all the hating on Amanda? Shit, she does a great job. Illegitimate? Boring? Hides her crappy voice? That's absolutly the most ridiculous shit I've heard. She's got a great voice, she's very talented and so what, she's not on the radio...just means we won't get bored of her like we get bored of your favorite artist.

[witket007]

Está demoníaca!

[DrunkenRussian17]

Took my breath away :0

[Severolus]

ty shoottheplayer

[FlyingFuckstorm]

I quite enjoyed the vocals, but it's far from her style. Musically it's a lovely cover.

[mcfatty007]

youtube trolls make me laugh.

[thecynthiamachine]

@mcfatty007

yeah. you're right. you do make me laugh.

[FungusMossGnosis]

Illegitimate, underwhelming, and would surely sound like hell if she were unplugged from the mic she's molding her weak voice to.

Although, she's far from ugly. Whoever said that deserves to listen to this for the next 80 hours.

[genitival]

Wake from your sleep, Amanda...

[mikeyfridgebuzz]

why?!?!?!

[dhfhdfhd]

This song is like a kid playing in his parents cloth.

[marshmallowfra]

not really good, too much for her

[GinoTheSinner]

Good intentions, not good singing. Just atmospheric and a really good song that people fill with their own feelings so it covers up how bad she sings.

[dpuknowme]

shes ugly has a boring voice........whats her purpose again?

[kathleenhannah]

@dpuknowme

why are you judging her looks? this is about music, stupid!

[dpuknowme]

@kathleenhannah boring voice

[madhav05]

that's one of the best covers of this song i've ever heard

she shud've stuck to the piano instead of using the ukulele for the other songs she covered

[skyiscrape5]

Seems to be in the same vein of Thom Yorke, which is the highest compliment I can give a person covering Radiohead. Great job!

[kanfoosj]

Good intentions, bad singing

[tenebrousllama]

i don't even know what to say ... omg

[thenileinjune]

Boring voice.

[srzent]

God, it brought tears to my eyes. And I've listened to this song a million times in my life.

[nichossss]

*.*

[getbonus]

i don't think she's too well-suited for this.

[coruptgovt]

it's not bad, however her manly voice is quite annoying on a woman.

[Brown86Town]

God, her voice is so bland and boring. Very nice string section though. And she's a good pianist.

[MicahBuzan]

great radiohead song, but i could honestly do with out the emo/goth gimmick

[geotaurum]

there's a resemblance between her voice and amy lee's voice... try closing your eyes while listening. :D

[takerdemon]

that legitimately took my breath away. wonderful

[Leishkin]

god this is stunning, my fav radiohead song and she did it so well it brought tears to my eyes.

[burningsands667]

love this song, love this cover.

[sangrealhande]

oh amanda that is absolutely magnificent.'goosebumps' as you said.

[FallenShards]

Dear Lord... that was amazing.

[aurelienpodcast]

Love it!

[DeMaulwurfn]

God. Amazing cover. Was sending me shivers of joy.

[VonBlade]

My all-time favourite singer singing my second favourite song from my favourite band.

It's like birthday and xmas in one.

[thewirrow]

@VonBlade favourite is..?

[SlowCatProductions]

Gorgeous. The climax gave me goosebumps.

[LimboLinda]

[insignifikunt]
