i dont think kurt would has liked this but he didnt like this song in general. Its really well done. You should have done "lake of fire" though .. lol flyleaf is a christian band right?
I'm surprised that so many don't like this, but I guess I shouldn't be. People are always touchy when others redo songs they love. What I'm more surprised about is all the people who dislike Lacey's voice. It's not a "normal" voice and it doesn't play by the rules, but that's what I like about it. And she CAN write her own music. Personally, I think she has a depth in most of her lyrics most never achieve. And she's not a crackpot. Just a sleepy-eyed dreamer who likes the disoriented look.
Not too bad and not too good, Kurt did better, but shes not bad, the bassist did excellent. But Oh well covers are just signs of respect for the original creator. And i think he would have said it was good but could be better. :) but overall not too bad.
How can you screw up Teen Spirit? It's the easiest song ever written to play.... Kurt Cobain wasn't exactly Jimi Hendrix...My ears are bleeding. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard... and not in a good way. She was like 5 when this song came out...
Weird that most don't like it. I personally thought it was a great cover but then I'm a big fan of the band and not so much a Nirvana fan. (They were hit and miss for me)
only 1 girl singer can cover nirvana and make it sound great and thats otep with breed. i like flyleaf but this songs not great, but hey she tried it so quit bitching
It's an ok cover, but.. can you really cover this song and do it justice? it's like covering bohemian rhapsody, or imagine, it's just never gonna compare to the original. Just don't cover songs that are always gonna be known and to be better in their original form/version.
Haters.... LET"S SEE YOU DO ANY FUCKING BETTER! It's not Nirvana but oh fucking well. They do damn good. You want bad? Look up Amy Lee singing Nirvana. It's like a thousand knives stabbing your ears at the same time.

Of course it's impossible to follow up Nirvana and sound half as good but props for trying, I don't think it's as shitty as everyone's bitching about :)
You really have to be nervous. Nothing wrong with the entire play but things get worst on the chorus and it would be better if she scream just like what she did on her song I am sick then all will be perfect
STFU, listen to her! Shes singing like her heart if on fucking fire, theres tension, pain, anger and TEEN SPIRIT. Its not about how it sounds compared to the origonal, she felt it like this, thats what matters.
@KylaKtm I would appreciate it if you didn't call me an idiot! I'm not a teenager hon' and i grew up with that band. For those who didn't even saw Nirvana live this is a nice cover. As for me, let me have my personal opinion and if you disagree i won't even try to change yours 'cause i deeply respect democracy! Be well :)
@CatherinaBionic Then I definitely apologize for being so immmature and calling you an idiot. I appreciate the great comment back and not fighting with me, most people on here do nothing but fight and I instigated this one and am Sorry. I love flylea and lacey and sure she may not have done this the best but I just appreciate a "great" band doing a "great" bands cover. Take care.
the song was written by kurt cobain who had an ability to sing like the way he did, and since she is a female singer her vocals are not the same as that of kurt. And my band covered this song when i was high school, and it is a great song. Nirvana was talented so are flyleaf, it is just she should focus on singing her own music in my opinion.
@kittehisthebeast No kidding. The slut knows she lacks the capability to write her own music so she builds entire concerts on her singing the works of other more talented artists.
I dont see how this get barely over 12,000 views and mileys gets over a millon and I like it kurts voice is not perfect and neither is hers it fits in a wierd way
@4evaflyleaf Because you can actually make fun of Miley easily. These guys have a good backing to most if not all of their music. Miley's career,if you even wanna call it that,is a fucking joke...
I couldn't stand Flyleaf before and now I truly think they need to drop out of the business. The damn girl cannot sing without a stinking vocal synthesizer, their stage performance and presence is so bland and boring let alone when did pulling your hair all the time become entertainment, they really did ruin this song ...
I usually tend to hate the bands/people who cover Nirvana, cause no one does it right. But this wasn't so bad:) I actually liked it. This and Erlend Bratland - Heart Shaped Box.
I like both Flyleaf and Nirvana very much. But this is a bad cover. Totally not her style of singing. Maybe they should've remade some of the song to fit their style.
The look on her face at the end, lol. Its like, we fucked up, looool. She totally knew it sucked too, they must not have practiced it enough or something.
personally i think her voice shaking adds a noice touch to it. it's supposed to sound edgy, && with her voice shaking it adds emotion && emphasis. i love it
Like Lacey said they were all nervous to do the song. Actually, I think Lacey could've done better if she was confident enough to sing it her way instead of putting so much energy into sticking closer to Kurt's original vocal key.
excuse me but why does everyone talk only about lacey? Pat, James, Jared, and Sameer did an amazing job on the instruments. Give them some credit okay? They work really hard to hurt their fingers to make the music sound amazing.
After I heard this I asked my guitar teacher " Please teach me smells like teen spirit!! Not Nirvan's version FLYLEAF'S!!!!" By the way I've heard her live. this is just terrible quality she ROCKS live!!
GROW UP PPL, Lacey has done a great job covering it cuz its very hard covering Nirvana cuz Kurt's voice is very deep n grundie so shut the fuck up on whos better and in all honesty this is the only gd Nirvana song ne way
Ok....I like Flyleafs album. I like her voice in it. But this? This made me sad. If you are not Kurt, don't try to sound like him. This was not sung well. She doesn't show an ounce of Kurt's passion, I'm sorry. thumb way down.
I am sooo sorry for all you flyleaf haters because I bet more than half of you sing like crap and also can't sing! And if you can let me see you do smells like teen spirit!BTW, she was nevious and probibly already knew that it would not only be hard for a girl to sing it but also a sober girl to sing smells like teen spirit!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thank you so much flyleaf YOU FUCKIN RUIENED THIS FUCKIN SONG!!! the guitarest is bad fukin ass but THE SINGER NEEDS TO SHUT-THE-FUCK-UPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKIN SUCK ASS! SEE IF WE EVER FUCKIN LISTEN TO ANY FUCKIN MORE FLYLEAF AFTER THIS DISGRACE!
i dont think kurt would has liked this but he didnt like this song in general. Its really well done. You should have done "lake of fire" though .. lol flyleaf is a christian band right?
