lol it looks liek you were pissed off cause she doesnt sound exactly like buckley, well, i expected cover, a personal interpretation, and i got it.... though it looks a little bit like fooling around in the second part. you have a good voice anyway
It's a great excuse to say that it's the way the person wants to interpret the song... To give the song another face with a new arrangement is one thing. But to sing in any tune or time... You know, it's something completely different. I am not saying that to put this person down... It's just for her to see what is not nice and improve it. And as I have said before, I do not appreciate fake feelings... Like making faces trying to seem sexy or pretty. So, I think that's enough.
Thank you for you thorough criticism. As you can see, I changed the timing after the first chorus and I did it on purpose. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's a wrong kind of a timing - it's just different. Obviously, you disagree and you've made your point clear.
On "making faces" and such: I'm not accustomed to performing for a video camera and I decided to play a little, perhaps even flirt with the camera a bit. It may seem fake, yes. However, I don't consider my singing fake in any level, on the contrary.
i'm sorry, but you've completely changed the tonality of the song...it's one thing to do a cover in your own way, but keep true to the overall tonality of the song...it doesn't even sound remotely the same.
Hello handsome. I don't see why the cover should sound "even remotely" the same. This is my interpretation of the song and I prefer doing it my own way. However, different opinions are always welcome.
i can certainly appreciate ones own interpretation and attempt at making the song their own...i apologize if my remark came across harshly. IMO, it's just too far removed from the original for me to enjoy...
jeff's covers of his heroes are the ultimate example of making the song his own while maintaining the integrity of the original...oftentimes surpassing the quality of the original.
My god, stop over analysing! Its extremely annoying and pretentious. She did this cover at home on her piano, she's not trying to re-invent the wheel. It's just a bit of fun isn't it.
That's a convincing argument handsomerube, well done. I'd rather suck your mothers many teets tho, what with cows providing such a good source of calcium and all.
last time i checked, this was a free society...i have a right to express my disdain for this cover, just as she has a right to do it in the first place. so go fuck off with your "stop over analyzing" bit (btw, it's with a "z" english boy)...
To sing the way you started is the best way to sing well and to use your real feelings. Or the one who's watching you will think she/he's seeing a robot or a character... and not a real singer who just want to show what she knows or wants to do.
I know that to sing well a Jeff Buckley's song is not something easy to do... But I don't know what happened in the middle of the way, that you started to play and sing out of tune and time. Another thing is that those "sexy" faces and figures seem too fake.
very good interpretation .please dont go down an octave.jeff didnt always pitch perfecly but always sang with feeling ( as do you )< thats the most important thing.SOUL .
I watched this a year ago. I enjoyed it then. I enjoy it now.

The Jeff would agree wholeheartedly, and would feverishly and with great conviction oppose the conformist preciosity of oxymorons like handomerube.

He's right. Jeff was awesome, but he did occasionally slip our of tune. Deal with it - he's not God.

I thought it was quite a good interpretation of the song. Perhaps try singing an octave lower?
druidlore 4 years ago
Yeah, I guess it could work out a little better, since I have rather a low voice.
makingnoises 4 years ago
yea same here. Seeing as i'm a guy, not many of us have a voice as high, or with the range of Buckley. My falsetto leaves a lot to be desired too :(
druidlore 4 years ago
I loved it, the piano gave it such a different sound to the original, then you started singing and it just got better and better :-)

good voice! good style! nice piano! great books collection! :P
but yeah you did abused the song a bit specially on some high notes but who doesn't? besides Jeff of course :P
