Yael Naim - "Toxic" (Britney Spears Cover)

[Hmoood96]

I camed from toxic 16bit remix

is she is isreali?

[shakeproductions1]

@hitthecouch  fuck off this song is britneys ;) if she had no talent she didnt sing this song! and she didnt sale a lot of records!

[Prrexx]

she's pure sex) so beautiful)

[viiviiixxtactic]

Haunting. 

[Ninxx90]

I like her accent so much! And I think Yael is more a classy woman than Britney

[muleke18]

AMAZING!! This is how Britney would sound if she went jazzy and actually sang live. #NOT =P

[bruto]

Now I´m sure that each and every single music in this world can be beautiful with the right musicians.

[eucuidodomeioambient]

Amei o video, Sua voz é perfeita !

[crazysjaak]

Never expected that toxic had such a potential. This is really great. Hope she will come to the Netherlands (or witch country you from)

[heriqc]

that's real?

[itsbrandon4life]

does anyone know the chords she is playing?

[girlsgilmore6teen]

People...she is a mixture of French and Israeli......and I had no idea how awesome she is! #shocked:)

[MrJejedrummer]

bouleversante

[russianviolet]

perfectly avant-garde cover.

[kaZenOonNa]

opino que britney deberia venderle los derechos a yael naim!!! ella se lo merece mas!!

[frolicious911]

she can actually sing unlike all that crap with rebecca black

[frolicious911]

DIMPLES ARE AWESOME I HAVE DIMPLES

[frolicious911]

DIMPLES

[MsRacoonTail]

when she says the last "now" she sound like a kitty cat!

[LeihWrightify]

THIS is talent, not that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga crap that seems to be all they play on the radio.

[MsRacoonTail]

@LeihWrightify i know right! :) its to bad singers like yael and mindy gledhill are not as widely known as pop singers.

[LeihWrightify]

@MsRacoonTail

Yes really IS too bad! And I LOVE Mindy Gledhill, I looked her up when I saw your reply! Thanks for introducing me to yet ANOTHER artist that ACTUALLY has talent. And I am VERY enthusiastic. Lol sorry! : P

If you were an ice cream flavor you'd be my favorite one <3

LUL! ( =

[MsRacoonTail]

she sings with her heart

it sounds almost like a beautiful sourceress!!!

[MsRacoonTail]

o my gosh-; the french bit at the end... it broke my heart- in a good way!

[nathaliadecastro1]

omg, AWSOME. much better than britney.

[Britooh]

This version is SOOOOOO SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[tw881000]

she is adorable and this version rocks!

[rachelmareekeeley]

She is French. Amaaaaaazing artist

[OldSchoolerify]

@rachelmareekeeley

She is Israelian.. not French :S

[dailysugar]

@OldSchoolerify she's israeli but is from france

[nathaliadecastro1]

@dailysugar her accent is so beautiful, just loved.

[Chaosbaron1]

booooooring



[bribunni98]

@Chaosbaron1 beautiful

[15iiii]

She has an accent. Is she Jewish?

[MrMichaelMadness]

@manfromregina Oh? and I certainly don't see your name anywhere under the category of "International Professional Vocal Singer." So, yea. Besides, I'm fairly certain that she CAN play the vocal part on her piano. Not like this is a piece that has more than four chords. Why are you picking this apart like a complex jazz piece? It's comparable to Grayson Chance's cover of Paparazzi. Not complicated, but pleasant because it is a new perspective on things.

[manfromregina]

huh  this s a great cover

[manfromregina]

 Lame for a Jazz cover.If you can't play even the vocal bit on yer piani ,,then don't even attempt.

[IngridBerg]

@manfromregina lame for a jazz cover? well great, it's not supposed to be jazz!

[manfromregina]

@IngridBerg Fair enough.  what kind of cover is it?

[IngridBerg]

@manfromregina It's a Yael Naim cover. She has her own style, period.

[manfromregina]

@IngridBerg yer right. Neil Young can't always sing in key either.

[Colliecool]

I want to hear a French Version of this song now. :p

[Gjonikki]

goosebumps.



[johannaloquilla]

Wonderful version!!! 

[PauEncre]

i love this version, i love her voice she is an excellent singer :)



[hitthecouch]

A little dark/avant garde. I love it, far better than Miss no talent Spears.

[MrEricrockinout]

@hitthecouch Britney did exactly what the public in the 90's wanted her to do. Saying she has no talent is a little ridiculous.. lol I bet she is more talented than you?

[Wanglestick]

Beautiful singer, really really dislike her accent though.

[staticbb]

Without the dirt it's not as good, but it certainly is classy.

Classy as shit.

[MKEdubstep]

i love how everyone acts like britney wrote it, newsflash- she didnt !!!!!!!

[kclaude]

Just heard that she did a cover of the song. I like Britney's version, but this cover is awesome. I love hearing a person with a voice sing a song and make it their own.

[markRochester]

i heard britney did a cover of this song, yeh, not as good! yael naim owns!

[plinden]

The REAL GENIOUS HERE IS MAX MARTIN WHO WROTE THIS AMAZING SONG> IT IS NOT THE SINGERS< ITS THE MAX MARTIN SONG.

[ragnaroc86]

You people are so stupid.... All you need is a piano (or some other instrument), a non-sexual artist, a boring -a.k.a. artistic- performance and you would call everything art! Britney's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!

[joncastro5]

@ragnaroc86 Spears is not even talented. her sexuality is what made her famous, not her music. it's not like she writes her music or sings especially well. what's so good about this version is not just the piano. it's the fact that she seems to have so much more passion while singing this song. Britney doesn't have half her passion and it's her song.

[plinden]

@joncastro5 shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Britney Spears is unique. There will always be "better" singers and so on. Whatever, Britney transcends the material and animates it with a personality and an image. It

s show business.

[joncastro5]

@plinden ...so you admit Yael is a better singer. haha



[Lynleyland]

@ragnaroc86 The chronically average chimes in with a little opinion. How amusing.

[ragnaroc86]

@Lynleyland The chronicallay average thought don't cover songs of other artists to make some noise about themselves. How mysterious!

[evg217865]

This is not a french accent, but hebrew

[AkumosBDF]

Eh, not feeling her voice.. I won't vote it down though, it's just personal preference.

[foxsux6000]

i like the end.

[katrinchardon]

this is great! the french accent is supersexy!

[demondoogle]

@katrinchardon actually its a hebrew accent lol

[foobargorch]

@katrinchardon actualy it's a hebrew accent, very slight =)

[Joty1280]

@katrinchardon actually she's israeli too, so it's not only french accent your'e hearing

[4MinuteTV1]

WOW !!

[dismissed7]

at first it was I didn't know what to think...the rendition starting growing on me as she progressed in the song and then bam! Hit me wit that jazz/funk/r&b groove at 3:45 and I was like awww shit now!

[mzkimberley]

one word..........................­....amazing

[PALUCHMUSIC]

top comments? i dont understand the logic, spears wrote the song, the melody, the diminuendo's that everyone finds endearing. Ive seen the static lullaby cover and plenty others, all of which are very good (including this one) but they are in fact and irrefutably only covers...

[gmaull]

@PALUCHMUSIC Well, the song was actually written by Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg. So the song, melody and diminuendos may have been first known through her, but they aren't hers.

[collezione111]

@PALUCHMUSIC most artists nowadays dont write their own music,not like the old greats,u really think britney has the vocabulary for a song like this,no way

and miss.Naim is far more talented than britney and made the song her own anyway

[CandleAshes]

@PALUCHMUSIC she didn't write it

[FLOK980]

That piano bench was probably soaked.

[extra4lfu]

@FLOK980 I don't know about the piano bench, but I know where I'm sitting is!

[Chococacaooo]

Comment ne pas tomber sous le charme de Yael Naim! Je l'adore

[raynicole3]

my mom just told me she doesn't like this song AT ALL...i think i am adopted.........

[Nannanabanana7]

Hate Britney, but always kinda liked this song. So glad to hear a real artist perform it!

[Ivushqa12]

Better than original :)

[TheMusiclover15]

i love the accent <3 !!

so sexy

[itsandresduhhh]

i just fell a sleep.

[kellyx12]

The link to this video should be in the dictionary after the words 'Sensual' and 'Seduction'

[TonyBellardi]

che pezzo ! groooove a bombaaaaaaaaa !

[jlo11473]

wow this is truely amazing...

[MJHxoxo]

Her accent <3

[jaws1785]

i hate britney spears with a passion....but this cover is just fucking amazing, so seductive with a beautiful jazz like genre. God yael naim can turn shit into awesomeness. Bravo

[zzzonkers]

If anyone knows, what does she say at the end in French? (I don't want a translation lol)

[Maxcube10]

@zzzonkers "Appelez s'il-vous-plait le Telethon, 3637 pour faire un don"

[zzzonkers]

@Maxcube10 Thanks so much! :D

[krinkdink]

it's great that this is britney spears' song, but she does it so much better

[effilang]

This version makes me feel so naughty : )

[roihac101]

israeli proud

[ProphetOfSekhmet]

hot.... very effin' hot....i would much rather see a woman dance to this than the Britney version. sexy as hell... love ya, Yael

[jotah2008]

dudus adorei!

[AvellsAsylum]

O.o Sexy

[PaperBagRecords]

She looks like Anne Hathaway :P

[asrod]

that was unexpected. In a good way

[willhurstep]

I'm Jewish and she's amazing.

[TDubb33]

Instruments in music make such a difference. +++++

[brielizabeth103]

@movieegrl13 Britney was the original artist of it...

[ttvpro007]

Soooo S E X Y =P~

[Hedvibelle]

sounds like a Kate Bush song...

[sousaluvs2dance]

This is beautiful Yael Naim is a beautifuly talented singer

[thelastagain]

@itsbeckhambitch would you prefer something from the Hoff?

[movieegrl13]

actually the britney song was a cover too.....

[ItsBeckhamBitch]

please dont compare German accents to this jewish shit...!!! wtf is this..

[mishi777]

@ItsBeckhamBitch

what is worng with jewish???

and why do u care that she is jewish??she is very talented it doesnt matter what she is but how she is and if u dont realize she is a singer

i am proud Israeli

[monkiebrane101]

@ItsBeckhamBitch Wth is wrong with? I think your name may be appropriate for you because that was rude and uncalled for. Why does it matter if she's jewish? D:<

[ItsBeckhamBitch]

@monkiebrane101 the name i have is from a britney spears song.....#2 i have the rights to say whatever the hell i want...YES IT DOES MATTER THAT SHE'S JEWISH what the fuck are you going to do now???? shut up and stop replying to my comment...

[monkiebrane101]

@ItsBeckhamBitch Wow your not worth it. You do have the right to say what you want so I'll give you that. I feel kind of sad for you. You're probably excluding a lot of people that you could have been friends with. Oh well. Have a nice life... :/

[BohemianPiracy]

This is way better than the original! Awesome cover :)

[Djeicabe]

I hope nobody kills me...but I prefer this version, I confess.

Yael is fantastic.

[SamFGordon]

NICE version - I actually wanted to listen to the lyrics (never really listened carefully to the lyrics before when sang by BP.)

[xchegayx]

OMG, magnífico, incrivel!

[sarah76883]

Comme un petit objet (magnifique) qu'on se félicite d'avoir découvert. Thank you for your existence.

[theLOLsincorporated]

In French class my teacher played this song and my best friend Rhilee, at the very end of the song blurts out "That was...creepily seductive."

[musicaaa26]

Looooove it !!! Check my cover if you want ! French fan

[MizSabrina]

OMG i am a britney fan, but this is soooo beautiful!!

[schwaanism]

wow nice ! i love it will be ost from 007 james bond !

[JakeTYLERsounds]

didn't 16bit remix this?

[Mario1Master2]

Omg what a lump of shit that's not singing thats mumbling in a terrible german accent

[360pezza1]

@Mario1Master2 Shes Israeli. 

[djinnmasterkeladry]

@Mario1Master2 Are you serious!?!?! Have you even HEARD a German accent? Her accent is CLEARLY Israeli...

[SirHouseFly]

@Mario1Master2 Omg what a lump of shit thats not commentary thats American ignorance at its finest (good luck w. mario faggot)

[Slcatchpole]

this is most beautiful version i've heard so far. loving that funky guitar!

[dfg404]

absolutely superb, what a glorious voice. oh and great touch at the end 'dans le francais'. just great.

[1wiki1]

I hate Britney, but this is perfect!

[luwe80]

I like this version better than any of the studio versions.

[JulianasSunshine]

The best Britney cover I've ever heard in my hole life.

[gatichula1]

Que voz y que talento.....WUAU¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[valeeritax]

Me puso "chinita" la piel! MARAVILLOSA

[QsHoney2be]

Love it!!!!

[kunlunschamsam]

Orgasm-able

[Donsphynx7]

wonderfull!!! so sexy! feels like making love!

[Donsphynx7]

wonderfull!!!

[ballroomblitzkid1994]

Oh my God...she's got the voice of an angel! Love this version better than Britney Spears.

[cNMIb19]

This version gives me the chills. I love it

[paxpakspax]

britney got owned

[howandreviews]

Meehh I like the Glee version better...

[pmwfotos]

@zoriah first time i've seen this, so beautiful, she's amazing, first time i saw the original new soul too, i loved it

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

As far as pop songs go, "Toxic" of course isn't a bad song to start with but this version really makes it a GREAT song!

It's got that same spooky vibe as Tori Amos' version of Slayer's "Reign in Blood" yet it isn't just an experiment but a really sexy piece of music which isn't hard to listen to at all...great great great...

[greenhousejpb]

not bad, and the better the longer the song lasts

i still prefer benfoldsrocks' version (named "surprise?!") at v=7kRcJSYOB9o

[acastilla115]

No offense to the Spear's fans but Yael owns this song.

[therising1]

Listening to this version makes me realize that the lyrics of this song are actually quite interesting and dare I say, good.

[yliang2]

damn she is so hot

[MagsheartsJuji]

I Love this version!!!!:D

[magd2992]

The version by Kate Miller-Heidke is even better.

[PrettiNikkiRIghtLEft]

This version makes the words come alive.

[Irisheyes77christy]

Brillant!

[LaharlD2]

Nice, but the tempo of this version is slower. The whole song is slower than Britney's. Has a nice mix.

[rfengr]

the green lighting is just perfect.

[bass1bone]

Cover? This barely qualifies. Yeah, the words and essential tune are the same, but the song has been transformed and metamorphosed, as though Britney's version was a pupa---but this song is a butterfly.

[totovale13]

this song is simply amazing... it's so versatile works for every style... not only a great pop song but also jazz and even rock ;) one of the best pop songs out there and the best from mrs. spears although her cover might not do the justice but brit's a performer not a singer ;)

[JazzRockablity]

this is like devilish sexy....ppl that dont like this just dont understand this old stand. THis version is for the grown, sophistocated, that know what seduction sounds like... lol let the kids keep the regular version

[FLOK980]

@JazzRockablity You'd be surprised what kids understand these days.

[ChristianKEspanilla]

@JazzRockablity mm this sounds to alien ish

[MKEdubstep]

this should be in a james bond movie

[saxmachine7]

@MKEdubstep Fucking YES!!!! Read my mind three weeks before I even thought of it!

[MKEdubstep]

this should be in a james bond movie

[RabbidTea]

I love how her accent and the slow sound makes it creepy and old sounding really great

[Jinryuushi]

That's boring, seriously...

[djhoanna21]

So Gothic

[newborn96]

boringg!!!

[YouBritishTuber]

Tranquility beauty, it's mesmorizing

[aandrebs90]

what a horrible accent

[LaInvitada1]

@aandrebs90 I think her accent is very sexy! lol

[BessieGrimm]

this sounds so creepy

[DJKatAnimated]

Holy shit, I could not stop smiling! I was searching for the original, but this surpasses it!

[820AHA]

Love her!

Brings pride to Israel (:
