Florence and the Machine - Take Care (Radio 1 Live Lounge Special)

[bigjerk9]

COOL. I'm a fan of both she definitely makes it her own.

[kalaine845]

At first I wasn't feeling it, but I definitely got into it once she started really singing! As far as insulting Drake/Rihanna...come on people. There's nothing wrong with different tastes. I thought both versions were well done and cater to people of different tastes--and NEITHER of these is the original.

[eilidh280709]

47 people are clearly listening to something else.....this is amazing xxxx

[ANPB6221]

This is like PERFECTION!

[porkbellyplayer]

Awesome job! Love the song by Drake and love it by Flo!! Awesome Song!

[SweetShot20]

[GingeyGrove]

This is just amazing. Florence and the Machine are so underrated!

[twiskone]

[bethsqeak]

i love it when singers sing a rappers song, you can see which rappers have songs that makes sense and mean something

[Voooswa]

@bethsqeak i hear on that one

[jackboyes98]

Its so weird that shes so quiet and then when she sings youre like woah :-)

[iLilyRuskin]

0:34 .. Oh yeah, I totally just saw you look her up and down, Drummer Boy. ;P

[April1442]

[TangerineJones1]

[famebiscuit]

[Tekk23]

I love you Florence, but Derp:. 4:47

[Julelectronic]

@Tekk23 if you can sing like that beauftiful woman you are allowed to make those funny facial expressions ! :D

[PIKACHU01092010]

@Tekk23 LMAO

[MrSuaveDebonair]

real good cover.. killa song..

[kevhalluk]

Goosebumps, like serious goosebumps!

[MarshmallowDreeaam]

a good song, seriously fucking amazingly good song *o*

[demilouise07]

Love florence and the machine! She's wicked

[kerblam]

oh my gosh i love this song so so so much

[LePetitFramboise]

rihanna who??

[demutis]

@CaptainKubla Actually... lol.. she's grown on me now and I can't stop listening to her(them). That BBC Radio One Live Lounge session really is an amazing live performance. I'm trying to figure out what "What the water gave me" reminds me.. something from the 90s.. maybe the Cranberries I can't tell...

[Ali2126]

Shut up and talk about the music for once

[brodycoursey]

Florence, MARRY ME!

[Mrtruthfulspeaks]

@brodycoursey dont forget to vote for florence and the machine for the brits 2012 the deadline is the 19th of feb 2012 spread the word also cheers

[demutis]

This version is just as good as the Drake/Rhianna version and the Giles Scott Heron original. Dont forget this is LIVE one Take no room for mistakes! She did an amazing job. If you know anything about music you will know this was great.

[CaptainKubla]

@demutis Sorry replied to wrong person demutis lol.

[TheBassHeavy]

Wow

[thatgirl8871]

Simply Amazing



[KHnaruto29]

this is freakin epic

[warnerbullet]

Such beauty, elegance and grace. That's just her voice. I'd love her until the end of time. Every day since KWAF.

[rokstar97]

im obsessed with this

[nickelet822]

Honestly, I love this song. I love how Gin Scott Heron does it even before Jamie XX Prodcuded it, and I love how sexy Rihanna sounds in her and Drake's cover, and Florence sounds lovely singing. Took me a couple times but I haven't stopped listening to it all day.

[paigerm123]

shivers down my back about 230950439853 times, your voice is absolutely beautiful florence!

[SkyRocketsInFlight23]

4:48 DERP

[whatevarrr]

She forgot Gil Scott-Heron, but I'll forgive her because this is so good.

[DueSouthMusic]

wtf why doesnt this video have more views and likes. Much better than rihanna and drakes cover

[DrMahatma]

@DueSouthMusic Because people these days have shitty taste in music. There is a reason why so much awful music is in the mainstream.

[JazzmineeMellodi]

so talented! 

[melissareich]

I love this

[domdom11111111]

Possessed at 4:49 !!!

[ArgyleBixby]

@domdom11111111 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[mrkylebowden1714]

I listen to this at least once a day!! Florence + The Machine are amazing! This cover is pure artistry.

[CaptainKubla]

lol at all the 16 yr old 'Gangstas' dropping 'Gil Scot', they probably know him from some shit computer or PS3 game, or fucking CSI episode they played out in their mams fucking basement. What a bunch of cunts.

[ghostlex1]

Take Care: written and performed by Bobby "blue" Band-->performed by Gil Scott Heron-->Gil Scott Heron's version remixed by UK producer Jamie XX (aka Jamie Smith)---> Jamie XX/Gil Scott Heron version used by Drake and Rihanna . Tired of hearing people say this is Drake's song. He did a very good job on it, but more credit to Gil Scott and Jamie XX

[PoppySargent]

RIP Gill Scott Heron 2011 - a creative genius

[AdamNotaro]

@PoppySargent Pity he was a crack/heroin addict

[philledup1]

good song but i think i'm on the other version myself......

[trulyshyguy]

FLORENCE LEONTINE! BLOODY WELCH!! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING AT 4:49!?

[webbi2012]

Wow, I didn't know Florence liked Drake....wierd combo. Still, Flo did an awesome job on this song, amazing.

[trulyshyguy]

@webbi2012 she's very diverse. I remember when she  first came out and acknowledged and said aloud that she wanted to do a feature with nicki minaj

[JoeTekJr]

i love all he hipsters not knowing the words in the crowd. dam bro thats racist

[JoeTekJr]

this is tight

[tillyandtiger]

I like this video but she doesn't stretch to more than a few poppy songs with a shouty voice. I am allowed an opinion you know!

[1silentalarm]

@tillyandtiger - she is absolutely one of the best! . You should watch your words before you are coming with an affirmation as "plagiarising..."

[iSkyexx]

Damn she's amazing!

[tillyandtiger]

Gheeze everyone thinks she.is a god

[trulyshyguy]

@tillyandtiger that voice is something of an ethereal nature u must admit lol

[waitinthefire92]

she said "i hope we can do it justice"...they took it to another fucking dimension! absolutely hauntingly amazing!

[1silentalarm]

@tillyandtiger -lets not be so envious..."You've got the love" is a cover(If I'm not wrong of Candi Staton) and she did not steal from from her ex-band. And if she used in "Lungs" songs which she already had, what's wrong in that ? she wrote the songs not her ex-band...and you are talking about plagiarism. It is her work, listen it or leave it!

[tillyandtiger]

@DrMahatma I'm not referring to this as plagiarism fool, her whole first album she stole from people she used to be in a band with.

[tillyandtiger]

I like this. However I don't like the fact she is a plagiarising bitch, and that she failed to acknowledge Gil Scot Heron.

[DrMahatma]

@tillyandtiger plagiarising bitch? Do you even know what plagiarising means? It is only plagiarism when an artist takes credit for the song he/she did not write. She clearly states in the beginning that this a cover. All her album material is hers.

She probably didn't know Heron wrote this song. I wouldn't blame her, most people don't. I am almost sure she would have acknowledged him if she new. Also, Florence is pretty much the nicest person in the universe, not a bitch.

[kyototakeshi1]

@tillyandtiger i suggest you look up radio 1 live lounge before you call anyone a plagurising bitch. artists are asked to do covers of songs they like,

[hyphybangin909]

I'm wet...

I'M WET!

[lovethemtodie]

I fell asleep last night listening to this song, and I dreamt that I met Florence Welsh. She composed a song just for me, and then she adopted me :') Reality sucks.

[lovethemtodie]

Why is she so perfect?

[JackWatson6]

truly brilliant 

[Slick23021991]

i was the first one to hit dislike 2 months ago

[AdamNotaro]

@Slick23021991 hopefully you regret that

[Slick23021991]

@AdamNotaro haha, no chance :P

[AdamNotaro]

@Slick23021991 aaaaahhhhh mate :(

[Ruth1400]

@Slick23021991 hahahahahaahahahahaaaaa

[maxclatters]

@Slick23021991 Nobody gives a flying fuck.

[Slick23021991]

@maxclatters u mad bro ? that drake and riri are way better ad way more successful than florence ?

[DrMahatma]

@Slick23021991 Your argument is flawed. Justin Bieber is more successful that all of them combined, yet he could possibly be the worst thing to happen to music. There are tons of similar examples these days.

The only think we can compare here is Florence and Rihanna. Florence is many times the singer that Rihanna is lol, so you are wrong there. Rihanna doesn't even write her own music, which is laughable.

[Slick23021991]

@DrMahatma yea, but drake and rihanna represent good things that happened to music and i will never like florence ...

[maxclatters]

@Slick23021991 Nope, not mad. I just thought I'd state that you're argument is invalid and nobody gives a shit ^_^

[Slick23021991]

@maxclatters mhmm,ok, sound like u mad though

[maxclatters]

@Slick23021991 nahhh, u mad that I'm not mad? :^D

[Slick23021991]

@maxclatters nahh, i'm pretty sure florence is mad that i disliked this video though ..

[Milnuts75]

@Slick23021991 Thank goodness you disliked it. You have trash taste in music, as demonstrated by your uploads. Control your anger, then get back to staring men in the eyes longingly as they ejaculate down your throat.

[Slick23021991]

@Milnuts75 excuse me you little piece of shit for having an opinion, i don't care for her music and i have the right to express it, drake and rihanna's version was flawless, who the fuck do you think you are to trying to shut me up ? women lie men lie numbers don't, tell that to florence she needs a huge boost to be at the level of the artists i've uploaded

[CaptainKubla]

@Slick23021991 Err, if 'numbers' of YT views alone were any indicator of quality, then that would by your 'logic' make Justin Bieber the greatest Artist on planet Earth.

I think most people know that is simply not true.....people listen to shit music in droves.

Rihanna is fucking shit. Can't write either! Nice arse, admittedly, but whats that got to do with anything? She is not even on the same fucking planet as flo, never mind the same level lol. FACT.

You have failed.

[Slick23021991]

@CaptainKubla i wasn't referring to YT views thus you failed !

[CaptainKubla]

@Slick23021991 Nope. 'women lie men lie numbers don't, tell that to florence she needs a huge boost to be at the level of the artists i've uploaded' You are clearly referring to the 'numbers' of artists you have uploaded. Whether its record sales or YT views is irrelevant.....the point is still the same. Lots of people bought Justin Bieber records and-or watch him on YT, the Spice Girls too. They are both still shit. 'Numbers' mean SFA lol. Game, set, match. :D

[Slick23021991]

@CaptainKubla what you're saying is that numbers are totally irelevant, the fact that drake sells more than florence doesn't say anything to you ? and don't drag justin bieber into this because he's a retarded people targeted product ...

[CaptainKubla]

@Slick23021991 Drake is talented, nothing against him mate hes good. I just don't think much of Rihanna, but there's no accounting for taste I suppose. I'm saying sales numbers don't necessarily mean something is better ....which is true. Drake loves Flo Welch by the way and has performed live on stage with her, he admires her writing and thinks she is a great singer. Me too. Might not be your cup of tea though,fair enough. Everybody is different, and no harm done. Cheers :).

[Slick23021991]

@CaptainKubla rihanna is a great performer even though she barely writes anything, cheers ;)

[Milnuts75]

@Slick23021991 You are excused. Your garbage taste in music will remain such no matter what numbers you try and regurgitate. We get it, dude! You have a recurring dream of being fucked with a strap-on by Rihanna, while sucking off Drake. You're a giant tool. Thank you for sharing.

[Slick23021991]

@Milnuts75 you again lil bitch ? that was very gay of you to think about that ...

[VanniliciousRex]

@Berlin120. Some of us are...Problem?

[filasPT]

electric



[berlin120]

evry girl, who is listening to this are lesbian...

[DrMahatma]

@berlin120 Yeah, they turn lesbian for Florence. Who wouldn't? I hope that's what you mean, if not then gtfo.

[olivia1910]

If Florence was covering every 'new hit songs' that are crap to me, I would probably like it so much more <3

[lavieenrose44]

I like that so much more that the version of Drake and Rihanna. (: love her so much <3

[KwameXVIIIZoopZoop]

What the hell look at her eyes pause at 4:49 great cover tho!

[ickytobias]

Believe it or not, this was the first time I'd heard Florence + the Machine. WELL DONE!

[wobblechopps]

[DrMahatma]

[TheMessyFella]

[ufcundisputed09]

Drake>F&TM worse thing ive heard in my life.....

[darko1987]

[itsCindybietch]

I thought her performance was fucking amazing? Who's drake?

[Thr33EyeProductionz]

[Hubertification]

@puaar94 Stop looking for likes.

[thekillawest]

[kitsnicket90]

I'm addicted to this

[dalebiela]

[PenaltyKillah]

I thought the beginning of the Drake/Rihanna original - literally the first few seconds - was exactly the same beginning as Florence's Shake It Out. As soon as I heard it, I had a feeling she made a cover of Take Care, hehe...

[GTPowerd]

I FREAKING LOVE EVERYTING ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
