  • really good video well done

  • Comment removed

  • One of the best Sounds ever. This Voice is awesome!!!

  • this is the version that sky sports use for the play offs.

  • LOVE THIS!!!

  • Anyone complaining about the Florence version, obviously hasn't heard the Joss Stone version. It's awful.

  • Awesome....

  • The video remembers me on Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat.

  • @Donalda1000 : yes i have the same feeling, this video is full of humanity. And the boy is very cute ;-) It's a great job !

  • Search the Candi Staton / Elvis Presley YouTube video of "In The Ghetto" if you REALLY want to have your mind blown away. Candi is a treasure.

  • absolute TOP ;o)) not seen this for years...nice one

  • Can't get over how Northern this video is, ahh going back to my roots.

  • This song is a poem. We learned it from Candi, we still adore it with florence.

    You GOT the love...

  • really gr8 video!

  • Why badmouth Florence?

    It's not like her version detracts from the original, and Florence does a good job.

  • Not as good as mine.

  • ...heute würdest Du es besser können, trotzdem nicht schlecht, ...vor allem wegen der Musik.

  • Not as good as the original. piss poor remix

  • Wow, just amazin the sound the music and the video. It just all fits.

  • i hate Florence taking over this song.They didn t put any soul in it!!! I heard lots of mixes and versions of this song but the original will always be the best!

  • i think Florence covered this pretty well (:

  • very nice I like it,who made the clip?

  • @bboymarcel I did mate, college project!

  • Halloo I like .-) It is a good video clip who made it?

  • Florence version isn´t better ! Different styles! Different Times! CANT COMPARE!

    AND most people saying Florence is better say it because they knew her version first!

  • Candi Staton is the original-artist - she sings from personal experience and their music is a wonderful self-propelling - good Video!

    I wish Candi Staton cozy days a marvellous birthday celebration with your family, friends and admirers - continued success!

  • Hell yeah! this is not Florence - Fan Video!

    -

    I regret to have to say -

    Florence sound is a taste perversion - they ruined this fantastic song!!! -

    the last both suffering just their influences of simply promotional Machines -

    arrange it among yourselves ;))

  • well this studio version could be good but she can't really sing live

    Instead Florence sings amazingly this song! just see the brit award performance!

  • @xdelightfulnessx she is just showing her voice off, there is no soul in it

  • Dire

  • must say don't ussually like home made music video's but this was pretty good

  • This is one of those great songs I always thought was uncoverable. Florence treated it with respect, and did a great job, in my opinion. Yet this will and always be the origonal and best.

  • This tune is all about the drums and voice - that florence version dont have either

  • She sings from her soul.

  • she sings from the heart!

  • lol whats with all the shots of windows and alarms...looks like he about to go on the rob lol, some parts were beautiful though :) like the actor mwah :)

  • i like this version the best its a classic

  • Both versions are really similar. Having heard both just recently I feel like I could interchange them and not miss much. Which means that Flo should've changed more if she was going to make a cover.

  • Florence doesn't have the voice for this song - lack of subtlety. And lack of soul - as in not believable (interpretation of lyric -it's believable for Staton).

    Crap video

  • @adrewsona - indeed exactly this impression I have, the cover-version of florence is made only to effect. Her voice has pale. I believe that in future, many discover the quality of the original song by Candi Straton.

  • Well, i agree this is the BEST version but its not the original, the original is by The Source featuring Candi Station- it doesn't have the drumming and its more 70's even though it came out in the 80's

  • @verypopular

    sorry but i really dont think ppl will discover tat this is a better version coz its not :)

    FLORENCE HIT THE CHARTS WIF HER AMAZING VERSION.........so i think its all very clear tat most ppl know florences version is better :).......coz it is :)

    seriosly how the hell do pll like this version it absoloutly SHITE bahahahaha

  • @superdeadfrog If she were so amazing she would have been successful herself, she wouldn't need Candi's song

  • @adrewsona i dont know what u r thinking, stop hating u can't sing

  • @adrewsona what the fuck are you talking? florence got not the voice for it? hahaha omg xD u kdding me? this song is so fucking earpainly! florence made it to her own and its godly!

  • @TheFunkyfr3sh Bet you would like Hazel O'Connor ... she would do a 'good' cover version ... in your mind... but you go for the theatrical shit... MBO keep it real

  • @adrewsona what????? florence has a big voice,she has a fucking amazing voice,are you crazy or what?

  • Comment removed

  • damn this version is waay too similar to florence's! dang i luv their songs but they really shuda stuck to being doing their own thing :/

  • @PandaBoo92 this is the original?! florence's is a cover friend

  • Florence OWNS this song!!!

  • omg i kno!!!

  • Oh my god, this version is just amazing! The sample is brilliant, the piano, the chord progression, Candi Staton's unbelievably naturally powerful and poignant voice, the pause at 2:02...

    Very few times do covers work (Aretha Franklin did a good job with Otis Redding's "Respect," so did Sinead O'Connor with Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U"!) but Flo should've left this classic out of it!

  • florence version is ok but this is the shit as original versions normally are. Anyway why dont she make her own music and leave this alone in perfection

  • Florence and The Machine doesn't even come close to this version.

  • Am I the only one who finds florence`s version awful. Very overrated. Not even in this versions league.

  • No, Florence's version is truly woeful !

  • nope, I completely agree with you. Florence and the Machine has added nothing to this version other than an inability to pronounce 'Through' properly. She makes it sound like one of the Steptoes singing.

  • music is all about expression, effort and energy, and florence puts 100% of that into it.

  • @whatachoppa I find it awful too.

  • @whatachoppa No your not, Florence shouldn't have made their version, they completely ruined one of the best tunes ever!

  • Is this guy in the video supposed to be doing the walk of shame?

  • is it just me or does she sound like adele?

  • Maybe adele sounds like CANDI STATON??THAT PAVEMENT SONG WAS GOOD. BAND OF GOLD

  • if find her version lacks a certain something. doesn't do anything for me

  • me too

  • The chords at the beginning don't actually match the melody above

  • Its pure passsion for film if you get up for 5 am just to do this. :) Well done

  • prefer florence and the machine version

  • Great video love it, well done :)

  • Reminds me of the "Sex and the City" ending...PERFECT SONG!!!

  • Guys, I like the way you have reworked this song and clip into your own interpretation. It's a great song to use- it reflects chic style.

  • fenomenal !!!!!
