imogen heap - thriller

[kupotenshi]

This is the one cover I wish Michael had been alive to hear. It's beautiful.

[AuzzieNic]

It wouldn't matter what Imogen sang; with the thoughtful delivery, deliberate pauses and overall singing from her soul, she really makes a song sound as though the lyrics are her own and have meaning to her. It's no longer a pop song, it's a story told by her. Amazing cover.

[Hellomiso]

also love ben gibbard's cover of this song :]

[shaboochaling]

thw original song always scared me as a kid... now i can listen to it in peace!

[8DecK5org]

Oh, Imogen. You thrill me everytime I hear you sing

[NSNgirlno1fan]

There isn't any sound? Or am i crazy lol? did they revoke and does anyone know where to find this song?

[3737tm]

Pure genius....great art.

[NewYorker227]

Thrilling :)

[OrangeKlawHammer]

RIP....this is just a shock...I'm completely shocked

[Tfrne]

RIP Imogen Heap

[Dokiru]

@Tfrne Is a she dead 0-0 

[tommycat1993]

@Tfrne sorry but what did you mean.what' happened to imogen,why the R.I.P things.i've just knew imogen' song for a while and i really like her song,but what really happened to her,seriously

[BenApplegate]

I love Imogen Heap with everything I am, but I thought this cover was kind of dumb and pointless.

[sonofsilence]

An interesting version. i've added it to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "the Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" feel free to join in.

[msavage2l]

"Thrill her night", honestly this song is more dark and emotional than the original MJ version. I Like it.

[rachaelraynbow]

This gave me goosebumps.

[TheCaptainLulz]

This chick needs to eat some food, soon.

[gerardos256]

I like this better than mj's, I like down tempo more than up tempo

[Born2Rock1987]

oh man......what an awesome voice!!!!!!

[iloveboneslots]

THIS. IS. OMGOMOGMGOMG

[HatsuneMiku100]

Ohmygoodness I got chills when she sang "thriller" with a high voice

x'D

I really like her voice ^^ 

[paulahamnroberts]

i love this song! a little

[knobowski]

I think michael is not able to understand this, lol!

[FinallyTheNight]

Imogen is having prostate surgery in September 2011. Let's all wish Imogen a speedy recovery! You can post a positive note on Imogen's home-page.

[jelewis2]

@FinallyTheNight Such a recovery would be exceedingly speedy, because the Skene's glands (the "female prostate") are not as intertwined with the reproductive anatomy as the male prostate.

[FinallyTheNight]

@jelewis2 : Imogen suffers prostatism. Imogen's allopaths are keen, naturally, on a surgical remedy. 

[CrazyBeautiful824]

but still not as good as michael's but still good.

[CrazyBeautiful824]

I love Michael Jackson and i love this version of the song i never would have thought to slow the song down. what an amazing job. her voice is incredible, which is probably why this version worked. i love it. and i am like the biggest michael fan there is. i've loved him since i was 6years old. thriller was the first song i heard. amazing. bravo or should i say brava

[zorky101]

god... this is incredible... this is a softer version but its like... just as intense as the original by michael jackson. omg...

[45643145]

better

[ilysfmdemitri]

Oh my God... <3

[Xorches]

she has such an increadible voice

[sunnybeets2055]

WHY ISNT THIS SONG ON ITUNES!!! GODDAMN ITS SO GOOD!!!!!

[LilHalfHaitiBoy]

i got chills :P

[JeffBlazer74]

Yo, cats who do covers? THIS is how to do it.

[MortalSyntax]

Notthat thrilling but a awesome song non the less.

[jkerez]

HOLY CRAP! AWESOME!!!!!!

[colreee]

just when I thought I couldn't love Immi more.... EPIC! love it!

[annam265]

Excellent!!

[thebalance229]

I finally connected to the song's deep meaning.

[HongKongXena]

@thebalance229 so true...

[MissHeatherAnn1]

I thought this cover was mediocre, her voice is too wishy washy. Just sounds a bit weird for this song.

[toxi87]

very cool, something new to it ya know, spooky.

[gtwhome]

Sorta ode to Michael Jackson.

A beautiful valediction by a spectacularly talented woman to a spectacularly talented man.

[WolvesInBowties]

who cant NOT like this??? 

[JustBlabberingOn]

beautifull <3

[ybtolerant]

absolutely amazing

I knew I loved her for a reason

[CharlieChimp26]

This isn't just a cover, this is a proper arrangement with a unique twist, genius!

[MrJohnnyoctane]

Breathtaking Music

[Omnitrix2008]

LOL. Please tell me we're not comparing the talentless contestant that is Aidan to Imogen Heap?

He can't sing. Period.

Be realistic. He hasn't got the 'x' factor to get him anywhere in the music industry.

None of the contestants can reach up to the par of Imogen Heap.

She's an absolute GENIUS.

Aidan disgraced Michael Jackson.

Imogen Heap did him proud.

[Kiwi653]

@Omnitrix2008 your trying to make it a fact that aidens talentless, when its just your opinion. we get it, you dont like aidens version, but why make it sound like hes a horrible singer? he has got talent.

[nickshand]

@Omnitrix2008 you blatently dont understand how to enjoy a unique voice like aidens, he cant sing hahaha do you know anything about voices?

[strangelittlebeing]

@nickshand Hate to break it to you, but as a vocalist myself, not claiming to be better than any on x factor and just as a clear observation, that Aiden your comment directed me to has horrible breath control, very poor tuning and phrasing. So yes, I know about vocals, and I can see why he's receiving negative comments. He does, however, have a very pretty face, and is expressive as he sings, so I can see why he's there. But Imogen still outweighs by far, as a musician in general.

[ADDfreak24]

@Omnitrix2008 i am aidan, and i am greatly offended.

[dmcdaniel9]

interesting and well performed, but this isn't really a song that lends itself to being remixed in this way.

[o0liam0o21]

THIS IS SHITE

aiden was well better

And the reason i watched tha vid is to c wat aiden haterz were on about

[oeoroe]

@o0liam0o21 What... Is wrong with you?

[12reids]

the aiden grimshaw version is NOTHING like this, its the same song both played on piano, its obviously going to sound similar. thumbs up if you agree!

[looneygooner1]

I quite like this cover and the attempt by Aiden on X-Factor, it's brave to take on such a legend of a song and input their own style.

[OMGCIayAiken]

Thumbs up if Aiden performing this rendition on X factor brought you here.

[Poetatoe]

i love it! Just wish she uses her scary voice, but yet i don't care, its really good.

[INF3darkgreen]

@Poetatoe gosh I love her "scary" voice....:)

[ronrennells]

Absolutely wonderful. What a combination of artistic sensibilities... the brilliance of Michael Jackson and Imogen Heap. Wow! I've seen the 'Thriller' video a million times, but never have I heard the lyrics interpreted such as this. I wonder if Imogen Heap knows what magician she truly is?

[B3autifulElizab3th]

not good

[JudoCreature]

This so amazing and holy shit. I didn't think anyone could cover MJ well. Imogen Heap proves, yet again, that she does everything awesomely.

[SeniorAgent]

A new take to a classic pop song! A well done, lovely cover!

[spikerooney011]

What a load of total talent!

[NateRozek72707]

How can i put it on my ipod!

[rorrt]

@NateRozek72707

Pay 79p.

[Crazydwarf2008]

@NateRozek72707 youtube downloader lets you download then convert to mp3 :) best of luck ^_^

[AndrewGmusic]

@CinnCity78 Obviously you have NO taste in music whatsoever. Off key? There is something wrong with your ears i'd say. Immi is one of UK's best singers. Why are you even commenting on this video? Move along and find something you like. This is a fantastic version and it's being released on the Dermot Oleary Saturday Sessions CD next week! :-)

[CinnCity78]

some ppl just HAVE to have something to say just to say it. This is garbage. Eat it up with your little plastic spoons all you want, but to those who say this is better than the orginal-clearly, you're either some type of shill or just flat out delusional. It was a nice attempt, but it's so choppy and off key-not to mention it's boring compared to her other work.

[DavidB5501]

@CinnCity78  Bad news for you: Rod Temperton really likes it. And he wrote it.

[RanHan1122]

I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG!! :D

[BaileyPhotography]

Oh wow! I thought i didn't like this song, but her version...is wow! Really great.

[choirgeekjenn]

this is pure genious. i love this version, and i know have a more clear understanding of the song. beautiful!

[CinnCity78]

@choirgeekjenn what is there NOT to understand about the original? It's really cut and dry. How does this version provide a "more clear understanding?" You sound stupid.

[failblorg]

i am literally BLOWN AWAY by her.

a human being can not be this talented.

what dimension does she come from?

[Tru3Innovator77]

MJ would be so proud

[KKRB3]

imegon heap, um you made one mistake that I noticed. ther mabey more but the one i heard was that you said COLD HAND instead of COLD SHOLDER. it could befor copyright but thats what i heard. :)

[SeXiVaMpToNi]

@KKRB3 Those are the right lyrics.

[Argentina891]

she is so AMAZING. why is she not on the radio you ask? she's tooooo good for it. also, i usually dont like when people use others peoples songs and make theeir own version, but for imogen, it's different

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

there is a free program called youtube downloader. it lets you download the audio of anything on you tube. I use it all the time. Its great for collectiong live and rare songs.

[ImogenHeapRox9]

where do you get this song from its  not on itunes

[kdawn06]

Is there any way to download this ?

[deadeaded]

if you get real player 11 (or higher?) I beleive you can instantly download any youtube video you watch. You can then use a file converter to extract the audio. Takes some time, but it works :)

it's also probably illegal...

[NoneBuriedDeeper]

@kdawn06 there is a free program called youtube downloader. it lets you download the audio of anything on you tube. I use it all the time. Its great for collectiong live and rare songs. Just search online for it.

[saintsinatra3]

Wow. I adore this cover. I'm a big fan of the original, but her hauntingly beautiful piano playing takes this song in a new direction. I'm amazed. Oh yeah, and people trying to compare the two, you missed the entire point of the DEDICATION!

[JoeMoron2000]

Now I remember why I have her albums. Her voice is GORGEOUS.

[AstrayxHeartz]

this is realy sweet of Imogen to do this <3 love her :)

[demotnt95demetri]

thats amazing

[tommookken]

The bbc interview is no longer available on their site.

A snippet of the show (along with the cover) can be heard here:

bPI6MmJs7xc (copy and paste in the searchbox)

Her honesty and courage in expressing her admiration for another artist really struck me.

[ShinnyThePooh]

i was so enjoying the song then i read the comment AND YOU PPL SPOILED IT =_=(not everyone ofc)

[OriginalName1011]

i take it this song isn't featured on an album?

[jonoharris333]

All of you are a bunch of douches

[xxBAMSTERxx]

im not a massive fan of Mj so this is great better than the original!

[xxBAMSTERxx]

stop swearing and maybe we could, everyone is entitled to their opinion

[xxBAMSTERxx]

i meant we could all enjoy the music a little better if there wasnt people leaving rude comments about how they dont like peoples opinions. its a free world get over it!

[xPurpleRayne]

You know what would also help people enjoy the music more? Not leaving provoking comments about who's better.

I never said I didn't like your opinion, I simply told you to refrain from posting stupid comments like 'this is better than original' or 'this sucks, the original is better'.

[xxBAMSTERxx]

alright i apoligise if i offended you and i will take note some people dont wanna hear opinions. thanks

[xPurpleRayne]

Your welcome to voice your opinion, just don't do it in such a provoking manner.

[xPurpleRayne]

I find it funny that you jump to such a conclusion, considering I never once even mentioned MJ's name. I'm a fan, yeah, but worship? Don't be absurd. I simply said that people shouldn't leave comments saying one or the other is better. It's stupid.

Not only did you call Michael Jackson a child molester, but you also called me a douche. Twice. You sir, are a tool.

[JunoMacguff2012]

Me wants. Me wants. Me wants.

[avidhpfan]

This is beautiful. It's a completely different song, but in the most amazing way. Killer Immi, indeed.

[dust594]

this is a great fucking cover

[sbove]

Killer Immy! Magnifique!

[tdspillis]

woahwhohwaoh nice

[katrina90presents]

She is able to bring a completely different dimension to the classic song with her voice and her piano playing. It is unexpected but very, very good.

[gpheonix1]

@katrina90presents yeah and her tits arnt half bad either

[stacinv]

amazing

[BekahYAY]

This couldn't be done better. <3

[calmagical]

this is awesome!! I love how she has interpreted it!! Anywhere it can be downloaded?
