not a pretty girl (cover song)

[theyellowrose92]

I love your face at "Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up?" That's my favorite line of the song and you just captured it so well.

[theyellowrose92]

Best cover of this song. PERFECT. Nothing else needs to be said. I'm already a huge fan.

[PotterRickmantic]

The BEST cover of this song! Your beautiful! The emotion is perfect. x

[lbfree714]

Great cover! Tell me, I am just starting to play the guitar and I want to find a guitar tab for Ani's Callous - can't find it anywhere - any ideas?

[MaMaRobynBird]

I love Ani. Great cover.

[flashtastic78]

WOW!! AWESOME!!

[Dbdudette]

Fantastic! I've been looking for a decent cover ever since I heard the song at a show! You're voice is beautiful.

[jboy4493]

i love your voice and your spirit! why did you stop posting videos!?!

[TEEWEE01]

excellent pure talent~!~~~~

[makezmuzic]

Beautifully done. Go ahead on lil Sister. To a 56 Ur old Sister that's played guitar for 35 years, you are a delight!

[EmNaj9]

This is the first song I ever performed of hers, my 8th grade talent show.

You gave me chills, girl. You are fabulous. I might like it better than the original. You sound a bit like Toshi Regan. Incredible. : )

[rileyroxurworld]

absolutely empowering and beautiful.

[dreadlockandload]

WOW. :)

[missamazzzing1]

Beyond obsessed with you!! I love your talent

[SylvanaForrester]

I would pay to see you sing live. Very nice. Wish you much success.

[gabehampton]

Awesome version of a great song.. I don't say that lightly. Keep with it. I'm going to check out some of your other videos.

[lovelydisarray]

i love your voice. you make it sound more emotionally charged than ani. i first heard this song when i was 15. at the time i was told by my mother that i could not listen to it because it was too "angry"

[Anjinious]

This is a stunning cover! You are so incredibly talented! Thank you for posting this...Ani would be proud, indeed!

[Anjinious]

You are so incredibly talented and your version of Not A Pretty Girl is stunning! I love it and thank you for posting this.

[Ponysattva]

You are gorgeous and your voice gives me shivers! It was a beautiful song to begin with, but your own personal spin on it is wonderful. Great guitar playing too! It doesn't feel like a copy as you have your own passion to poured into it. You have power in your voice. To quote ani herself "face up and sing" girl! You rock!

[dancewomyn1]

WOW!!!!!! What a voice...brings to mind Tracy Chapman, Odessa, Joan Armatrading all rolled into one! Beautifully rendered.

[dancewomyn1]

[akmoss75]

Southernfolkrocr from one vocalist to another; a vocal interpretation of Not a Pretty Girl like a rock slide of rocks smoothed and tumbled and roughened in southern soul and blues, and country and, and and a layer of hot, molten, lava...so much more things to say..Thank you!

[akmoss75]

@akmoss75 Saw this live when Ani came out with this record too.

[Virtuobvious]

This song has been posted for a long time now. And, by a fluke of searching for more Ani, I stumble upon this amazing cover. It literally brought tears of joy to my eyes.

[salkis]

@southernfolkrocr ok I dream of playing my guitar like you. I just started my lessons and my fingers hurt. How long did it take you to get this good?

[salkis]

@southernfolkrocr ok I dream of playing my guitar like you. I just started my lessons and my fingers hurt. How long did it take you to get this good? I post her cover song on my fb page but no one responded. Simple minds...

[laurenmlbc]

i loveee this song, wonderful job!!

[southernfolkrocr]

so do i, thank you!

[salkis]

@southernfolkrocr please give the chords for this song, im learning how to play guitar and I want to play this my athem!!

[southernfolkrocr]

thanks i think, it gets me where i'm going

[thenscream]

shit you rocked that song grrlll

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you:) i had fun doing it.

[evolvedFrom]

you are one of the few people that can actually do covers. you have your own great style which you add to these already brilliant songs.

nice one!

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you so much that is so cool to hear, some people only want to hear originals but some songs are so wonderful i just want to feel like i'm a part of it

[numsegaf]

i think that making a cover of a song, is just to bring it back to life again... and thats cool :)

[numsegaf]

you make some AWESOME covers, omg... how many times do i have to mention it!

you should try to make you own music one day, I know its allot of work to make you own music, but how could it possible go wrong?

[southernfolkrocr]

believe me things do go wrong. after my partner fell in love and moved away i just had to take a break from it. thank goodness for youtube i'm starting to feel like pursuing it again. thanks for the encouragement.

[numsegaf]

haha, sad to say that youtube actually can be a life safer X)

but i ment, how could it go wrong if you started a serious music carrier?

and im sad to hear about your x partner :/

[namremmit]

A M A Z I N G!!!!!! WOW! I have been an ANI fan for years and have heard many covers, but you nailed her passion and made it your own. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice!

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you for sharing your generous complements! hope to hear from you again

[altheoriginal]

[lword323]

[southernfolkrocr]

[linnetswings]

This was beautiful. You've got a powerful voice, there.

[marleyrae69]

Yeah, thank you...beautiful...

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you as well, i appreciate your taking the time to look and comment

[taozen713]

Thank You.

[southernfolkrocr]

right back at you :)

[Lucidamy74]

I came upon this vid randomly and was impressed. Bravo! I have only one Ani song that I've covered via youtube. Your heart and soul will keep me coming back.

[southernfolkrocr]

what an excellant comment! thank you so much

[linds2888]

Great cover. You make it look effortless. I really love your voice. Keep singing ;)

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you i will

[chelsw285]

wow i really liked this

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you :)

[PhobiaphobicX]

The only frustrating thing about this cover is that you make it look effortless. But only from an envious point of view on my side! Amazing cover :)

Oh, and your Redemption Song cover absolutely blew me away. I'll definitely be visiting here again :)

[southernfolkrocr]

lol, well what can i say, i does what i can :) that is too cool thank you

[tharawen1313]

you make me cry I love and Ani DiFranco and you blow it out of the water wow, I really do believe your going to really far

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you so much. i'm so flattered and thank you for taking the time to let me know what you thought

[possofazer]

Oh my god. You are my new obsession! I normally listen to peoples covers for laughs...but I was pleasantly surprised by you! Your Ani covers are almost as great as Ani herself! Keep it going! Can you do "Gravel?"

[southernfolkrocr]

i'm workin on a couple of others right now but i'll get to it as soon as i can :)

[AthensAnna]

I LOVE your voice and presence and spirit!!!

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you :) it's all i REALLY have

[CountingSheep102]

I love that you actually feel this song. You know how to bring the soul needed to pull off Ani, and combine it with a wicked voice. It's cute how you get this fierce look in your eyes (I've seen it in my mirror so many times!?), at critically important liberating parts of this song.

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you,lol ani songs always have that kind of bite to them and i feel like she's writing about my life sometimes.

[67annorexorcist94]

love the picture of Ani in the background lol.

You should do a cover of "In or Out" or "Blood in the Boardroom"!

[southernfolkrocr]

nice observation! i seem to be getting a lot of request but i'll see what i can do

[Rakkorr]

Wow very nice!!

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you, i do what i can.lol

[jewelsuofl06]

If I didn't know better I would think you wrote this song, you make it more than believable. You are no damsel in distress, that's for sure. even when i look right at you

i always just see through

and i always just see new things

to admire about you.

[southernfolkrocr]

wow, your gonna have to cut that out, i get a little moist when women who love women quote ani to me ;) sorry, harmless naughtyness is a reflex of mine :)

[jewelsuofl06]

Same here, nothin wrong with a little flirting. ;) Ani is my weakness too...

[tiffybright]

you are seriously great.

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you, that's so nice to hear

[are3jo]

mmm... nice|}

[southernfolkrocr]

thanks :)

[alliestop]

Oh my god! Oh my god!

Ani is one of the most difficult artist's to cover! What a brilliant voice! ^_^ Absolutely Loved it!

:)

[southernfolkrocr]

thank you, and your right, she can definitely be a challange

[alliestop]

You're most welcome! :)

[victrola1977]

This is one of my favorite Ani Difranco songs...and you did it complete justice, ma! Thank you for this awesome rendition!

[southernfolkrocr]

[southernfolkrocr]

sweet! thank you, i love all of ani's songs, and i especially love that you like 'poetry' one of my originals! your comments are welcome and appreciated

[LazyPistachio]

Amazing. Most covers I've seen by other people sound exactly the same or worse than the original. you put your own voice and feeling into the song. that makes you unique and an amazing artist! Can't believe you havent been discovered yet! Your gonna get signed, girl! love ya x

[sylviaofcourse]

What lazypistachio said! ;)

[southernfolkrocr]

what i told lazypistachio :)

[southernfolkrocr]

love you to and thanks for your support. it's not nearly as satisifing to copy as it is to express it your own way

[missamazzzing1]

this made me heart feel the song ... rock on girl!!

[southernfolkrocr]

[foxysk8rgrl]
