this is almost offensive to me, to be honest, that she would take someone's hard-developed emotion written into song and try to manipulate it for her gain. there is NO soul and NO emotion in her singing. it's like if someone's mother died and they told you the story, and their story moved you, so you thought "hey it will be cool if i re-tell the story like it was my own", but you look like a fool because it's obviously not your story and it's so fake. this song is a story, and it isn't hers.
i absolutely agree with animo37, and anyone saying he's wrong because she sings well is an idiot. just because she can sing well doesn't mean she'll ever reflect the emotion the song was intended to carry when CWK wrote it. she's 100% performance, 0% soul, 0% emotion. this is awful.
Florence, here, showing us exactly how to destroy an incredibly soulful and powerful song. I honestly can't believe people can listen to this and call it anything but an absolutely awful massacre.
I saw her at glastonbury and was left speechless. she was amazing, she doesn't have any choreography or anything its just her stage presence, she was the best person i saw at glasto and the best person i've seen in my life. just watching her sing live is nowhere as good, so my advice to everyone is to see her live, even if your not to keen on her you will be adicted ones you've been live!!!! Amazing!!!!
sure, cold war kids are great! however for those of you hating on this cover, you must be deaf. this lady has talent and not only did they cover an amazing song so originally, they did it well.
i loooooove this song and now i loooove it even more.
i don't like it. i really don't. when are they gonna learn, that you can't cover cold war kids! okay, this one is better then the cover of hang me up to dry, but i don't know who covered it. so leave cold war kids'es songs to the cold war kids, because they know how to make music. i just adore them!
yeah, she's done it, butyou know, the cwk have this very very special style, and this is what makes them so special and everyone loves them. and this is impossible to copy. you can cover one of their songs, and make it alright, but compared to the original it will be unsatisfying

@Animo37 Lol.. she's just singing it. Like it or not she's not destroying anything.
Say if you sung this and it ended up on youtube, you wouldn't be destroying anything. People can sing whatever they like thankyouverymuch.
