Birdy ~ Terrible Love (2011)

[kaminazawszeona]

this moment when you're sitting on the bed and you know you haven't got anything. ;(

[marielauee]

omg.. she is amazing...

absolutly amazing.

[RoxieBoo15]

I've listened to it like 286435042 times and it still makes me cry.

[tigger96tb]

i love that this has more views than the original! deserves more aswell

[shaneearle765]

@tigger96tb The reason why this video has more views is because Birdy is well known, forced into your heads by the Media. Or maybe something even worse, you heard it on a TV Show. The National are unknown compared to Birdy. but The National are still amazing.

[ppaaggaannss]

its orriginaly by THE NATIONAL. but this girl is nice, so I'm not mad ;D

[olgab260691]

her voice sounds little like Adele ;) it's good

[helilein60]

i love you<3;)

[Tefini]

She crushed my heart, more than lost love...

[Bramdl20]

the original is still better, in my opinion

[Amunet1995]

why do people have to critize her? She a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. You all need to get a life and stop critizing her.

[candelite10]

She has a beautiful voice. And all the people who criticize her for whatever reason. She's just 15! She has a long way to go.

[MsXxkikaxx]

Gorgeous voice, Birdy..

[oOStylamuffinOo]

I saw her on "KIKA"! xDDD

[xbootyshakur]

thumbs up, if you think that Birdy should make an album with songs about love !

skinny love, terrible love. you know what i mean !

[KHelsieee4]

Why. You have such a beautiful voice, and your singing all my favorite songs. Its probably a sign. :)

[Saoirseiscool12]

I think everyone just wanna put her down :/ .. I'm 12 and I have videos myself and I love her ... She's inspiring ... I love birdy and I think she rocks so shut up all of ye and give her a break !!! :| BIRDY ROCKS !!!

[shaneearle765]

@Saoirseiscool12 no one here thinks that she is rubbish kid. She has an amazing voice yes, but people get distasteful when you cover a Band which only a selected few people like.

[QueenPenelope100]

@1Macc101

F**ck you.

[KayeLockheart]

for those who have never heard this songs before...an you heard her version first...you'll see how amazing she is

[1Macc101]

DOES SHE HAVE A MISSION TO "NEW-BORING" EVERY SONG I LOVE!?! first bon iver, then fleet foxes now this!

[mil283]

good effort but I still like the nationals original version more..

[Tulisa7]

her and adele need to make a song together!!!!

[09089740]

emotional world<3333 L O V E ONLY L O V E ty birdy

[mariann5991]

Looove youur voice!

[josise90]

she has a beautiful voice i am surprise i admit that she is beautiful and hers songs as well

[fredr123]

Pile of dong. And I'm saying this because this is one of my favourite songs and that cover nearly ruined it for me, honest, so I'm pretty pissed.

[onlyindreams001]

@fredr123 Well **** off then if you don't like it.

[shaneearle765]

@fredr123 You gotta admit, it isn't a bad cover! In fact she has an outstanding voice. It is annoying how all these 'fans' of birdy have never even heard of The National.

[IntegraNation]

@fredr123 Almost 1 million views, over 4,000 likes to 100 dislikes, why post such a great comment such as "pile of dong" when you are in the extreme minority to dislike it? Idiot. Takes a great human being to write "Pile of dong" about a 15 year old kid. Pathetic.

[Pyon9x]

15-year-old Adele! :X

[onlyindreams001]

@T0m3B Idiot.

[T0m3B]

@onlyindreams001 thats my opinion u dont like it fuck off

[onlyindreams001]

@T0m3B No, I don't and I don't like you either. You gormless ***t. ***k YOU.

[IntegraNation]

She can sing. And she's only 15? Wow. What a bright future this aspiring young lady has ahead of her. Excellent job.

[vinnypjones]

It's like cops and robbers, Birdy is the robber. That's terrible love right there

[lauraleeuw]

It's a beautiful voice to!!! <3

[ModestMousekateer]

Oh god no, she did not do this to The National. No. I do not accept this. I cannot accept this.

If you're going to cover a song, you mustn't just know the lyrics to it, but you must really _know_ the lyrics to it. I.e., experience the words, know what they mean and represent. I'm sorry, but I really don't think that a 15 year old girl can possibly fathom the message conveyed by The National in this song.

[unicorn4sure]

this song (along with skinny love) needs to be sung with a bit of heart and a bit of pain. its very annoying to see a silly little girl (who is as manufactured as the rest of them, despite doing 'indie' songs) attempt to feign such emotion. i mean at least rebecca black sings about things she knows, and doesnt crap on other peoples work.

[gina2he]

@unicorn4sure she writes her own songs too and as for singing with no emotion listen to her version of shelter and you won't think that again.. actually watch isla from got to dance dancing to the song and you'll fell the heart and pain!!

[unicorn4sure]

@gina2he indeed she does, and if they were anything spectacular, then they would be released as singles and we wouldnt have this onslaught of covers. ive heard her shelter and it sounds exactly like all her other covers. i'm not saying that there is no emotion, im just saying its very insincere and 'acted out', as she doesn't have any life experience to draw from.

[gina2he]

@unicorn4sure at least she's a musician unlike rebecca black who clearly is the most manufactured failure in the biz!

[ziaolol]

@unicorn4sure well said. it just doesnt 'connect' to me

[KevinCaldwell67]

Ruined another great song!

[limja9]

She's quite pretty. I idolize her.

hehe

[TheSpongebobSchwamm]

she's 15 ?! :o

[Jeshined]

Ui

[allygray69]

thumbs up if Hollyoaks sent your here

[skulptivator]

Amazing song by an amazing band!

[ToadPicks]

wow ...

[TheChazas]

the ending is... love it.

[blacksmith1984]

yes, good one, but The National, is always The National

[StudioMinds]

Cheers on you EU for keeping the talent alive =D Sing away angel sing away!

[cagore2012]

Not many voices make me stop in my tracks, actually no voice has until now... a voice that can stop and silence others! and lyrics that can break walls... a gift from God!

[yasminnetje]

@Tessa21juli Echt wel!:-)

[QWERTY08081]

@yasminnetje Zekur ste weten wel:)

[RosieMayFrances]

i like it :)

[Skyesoul6]

i like cover more

[tessa21juli]

Hier zijn heus wel Nederlanders hoor :)

[04thofdecember]

She's so great! 

[oliveandlove12]

the National is my favorite band, this doesn't beat the original but I credit her for having such a beautiful voice! Does she only do covers or does she write her own songs as well?

[Marimouch]

@oliveandlove12 She writes her own songs as well :) Go listen to Birdy - Without A Word (Live Version) :)

[niekkisjess]

That awesome moment when you realize that your crush's crush is you.

[petula2424]

kráááááááááááása



[itworks92]

The National are one of my favourite bands and I thought I would hate this. It's actually really good though.

[LmaoGirl24]

<3

[ItsBerenice]

She's amazing! and i didn't know that but she's only 15!

[DutchBartje]

@ItsBerenice

she's 14 ;)

[Mitixcall]

@DutchBartje she's 15

[BrittRyanModel]

She is amazing :)

[Evandreadv]

She is only 15 ! what a beautifull singing !

[Jess5641]

Why do people 'dislike' this. I don't get it!!!

[BetsySteinerSchool]

Jesus Christ!!!! You're just amazing!

[Loveu15x]

lovely

[loltingable]

this is better than skinny love. but i'm sorrow the sheer pain and sorrow Matt Bernignger sings this with...birdy has no comparison to Him. this is still alright though

[clemensosment]

I love birdy <3

[TheMACfetish]

is this sort of music classified as POP?

[niceperson31295]

@TheMACfetish no

[AlexandrekFreitas]

The National, rings a bell to anyone?

[shaneearle765]

@AlexandrekFreitas once again covering a classic song.

[jfrisztig]

@AlexandrekFreitas SURE ;-)

[LadyBeesKook]

She is my favourite singer under 20 ^^ love her voice.

[TheJpgaultier]

We love you angel .. people need your inspiration to understand

[0333808]

@TheJpgaultier Her inspiration? You know this is a National-song right?

[TheJpgaultier]

@0333808 Feel it ...not read it.....By feeling you know what I mean by inspiration

[pietervanesser]

she cant be human

[OneWayIlove1D]

Birdy has a beautiful voice!

I respect her because she has come this far.

You rocks Birdy!

[Jaantje624]

@TremblaXx: YOUR TOTALY RIGHT <33

[Jaantje624]

@T

[nella2401]

She's got angels in her voice ! Adn she's so young !!!!

[obafemimartins111]

bit weird for a 13/14 year old to sing this...

[mcrroxsmysoxs123]

@obafemimartins111 It's weird for someone so young to sing a song so full of emotion?

[0333808]

@mcrroxsmysoxs123 With all the alcohol references.. yeah

[MysteryKitty13]

Okay yes, this is a song by the National and yes that is an amazing song on it's own but this isn't the National, this is Birdy. So if you like the National version better, listen to that and take your hate else where.

[jenny911]

I usually love her voice. But no one compares to Matt Berninger. I've yet to see someone fill his shoes.

[thousandsorrows]

@jenny911 TRUE!!!

[bethany934]

@leoaddict, im not jealous in the slightest for all you know i could be an amazing singer....and im pretty sure the national are abit more famous than her cheers...

[leoaddict]

@bethany934 We all know that you could be an amazing singer?! How exactly do we know that?

[tatumvasseur1]

I LOVE ITT AM A BIGGGGGGGG FAN OF YOU YOU INSIRED MY

[bethany934]

@leoaddict  i'm not sure it is..... get off your fucking high horse, she totally shit, she should learn to write her own songs rather that sing others in a fucking whiney high pitched posh accent, she knows fuck all about love shes a little 14 year old girl, she should come back when she can write her own songs rather than trying to pass others off as her own, i bet half the people who are fans of her don't even know this is a national song.

[MysteryKitty13]

@bethany934 I don't see a problem with covering someone else's song. Doesn't that mean they have respect for the song to be singing it themselves? I just happen to think her voice is beautiful and honey, what does it matter if she's 15? We're all different, understand things differently, mature differently at different ages. Seriously, I just don't understand people take time out of there day, actually use effort into hating on something that doesn't need hate.

[bethany934]

@MysteryKitty13 no i don't see the problem with covering someone elses song now and then like most artists do, which is far enough,but the fact is, shes covering other peoples songs constantly, to the point where people actually think it's her songs, bon iver and the national are two of my favourite bands and to think that people actually think there here songs and shes gets the credit for it is sickening

[bethany934]

@MysteryKitty13 *think there her

[leoaddict]

@bethany934 Well, I've already heard the original version and think it sucks. I won't answer to the rest cause you're just so jealous that you come here and say those things on a girl who is real and has talent and already is bigger than the nationals will ever be. Cheers:)

[OneHitBaby]

@lunasterre4 how can you dislike it?! :O it's maybe not as good as skinny love (for example) but even I like it :D and i'm not a real fan of her. I love One Direction more :):):):):)

[leoaddict]

She gave to this song exactly what was missing: soul.

[lucno88]

The Nationaf ftw!!

[bethany934]

totally ruined one of my favourite songs, wish she would learn to write and sing her own songs rather that ruining other, well done birdy...

[leoaddict]

@bethany934 What's ruined is your fucking brain

[lunasterre4]

Disliked. Sorry, not the best (;

[outlaw6660]

unbelevable! she had the voice and the look to be a very

great star !

[famousangelsnever]

does she know that this song is about alcoholism? 

[Retriish]

not that amazing....

[raaranda1]

me tiene encantada !!!!

[JustxxDutch]

woow she is only 15 <3

[SparkleShine24]

She's english, she is from Hampshire. Her full name is Jasmine Van Der Boegarde and of course that is a dutch name, but that's just her heritage :)

[BayyJones54]

birdy is her stage name... which i think has to with her voice, like a song bird....but her name is Jasmine, and she is english, not dutch:-)

[TheDieuw]

@BayyJones54 no she is dutch, haha she is from belgium, it's almost the same language x

[ShadeOfTheMorningSun]

beautiful <3

[nirconn]

The National can be very proud and this is coming from thier biggest fan.

[TheChick2304]

Terrible Love, Skinny Love? Dang, for a 15 year old she sure has some love problems :p

[spannahan]

I've listened to the other version, and i've tried to like it but i just can't. I prefer this version :)

[MrChevalric]

Her next song will probably be called ''Fat Love''.. -.-

[GlennJennings9]

Hope her album is available in Ireland!! :D

[ahthousandtimes]

this is terrible.

[KtLouBand]

@ahthousandtimes you're obviously not listening to Birdy then... either that or you're deaf... so are the other 61 people who dislike this...

[ahthousandtimes]

@KtLouBand or you have never heard the original, because this is terrible.

[KtLouBand]

@ahthousandtimes actually i have and this is a much better version...

[ahthousandtimes]

@KtLouBand You obviously have horrible taste in music and therefore your opinion has no weight to it.

[KtLouBand]

@ahthousandtimes my opinion has 2,967 peolple behind it so i would there's plenty of weight there.....

[ahthousandtimes]

@KtLouBand I am sure there are plenty more people who dislike it. This is a horrible cover.

[eg662]

@KtLouBand this is not a terrible cover!

[Maumauthegreat]

@ajmudhoney My point was, that she was referring to Birdy's song. However, this is not Birdy's song, it's merely a cover. I'm not saying she isn't talented, because she obviously is.

[wilhelmgross]

I love Birdy but this is meant for Matt Berninger to sing. It doesn't have the tragedy he puts into it. 

[kimm958]

This is a lovely song (:

[TremblaXx]

WHEN WORDS FAIL MUSIC SPEAKS.

[Maumauthegreat]

@mettemarit8 You know 90 percent of her songs are covers, right?

[ajmudhoney]

@Maumauthegreat And your point is? Covers or not, she's more talented than most

[kimbermuis]

haha, dit is zo grappig. Ze lijkt echt twee druppels water op mijn zusje. Een echte dubbelganger dus :P

[vincentiageladyn]

beautiful voice.

[mettemarit8]

Birdy is fantastic!!!! Nearly every time I here a song that she sings, I have to cry, because here voice is beautifull and here songs are very deep!!! I love here<3

[ChonnyLang]

love the national

[yvjepievje]

Birdy can beautyfull singing! i'm her biggest fan

[Pansie123ful]

@yvjepievje

NO I'M HER BIGGEST FAN!!!!

SHE IS AMAZING

[princesslekee]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[princesslekee]

ik hou van haar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jij ook ja?

[arjglowgirl]

LMHO

[Adorablissime]

un mot : OUA ...

[XOXOlove145XOXO]

♥ her voice is so beatiful, (:

[Ziipkrrkerligili]

Tout simplement J'ADORE!!!

[mrpeterpanable]

The song isn't the same without the drumming of The National.

[93Anitka]

przyjemny glos :)

[schnee319]

How can a school kid expect to do these lyrics justice.

[doherty1616]

czemu ja nie umiem angielskiego ?

[xoboubou]

@doherty1616 Bo sie nie uczysz xD masz za to tłumacza google :D

[szaryorzel]

@doherty1616 nie wiem:))

[zoubie65]

Magnifique . :o

[alucidminute]

This song is so good when you're hung over. THANK YOU for calming my head :D

[Thesuperindiekid]

The National are one of the best bands on the planet, and when I heard Birdy was covering them on her new album I was over the moon. starts brilliantly but ends up sounding like an X factor winners song.

I really hate to say it but she's killed this song.

[Kleasone]

comment enlever tout son sens à une chanson : piano 2 accords, voix banale :(

[Thorenus]

It's okay, but I'll always prefer The National's version by miles.

(I'm forcing this opinion on myself, because I don't want to sound as a snobbish narrow-minded purist. My initial reaction was that this was fucking blasphemy.)

[babyninana]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!
