It's as much of a cover, as it is taking the lyrics and doing a different song.
You can't even find Bobby Mcferrin's name on the list of artists who covered Blackbird (The Beatles' version). You can't, because it's the most far fetched cover (if you may call it that) ever.
But hey... I admit it, I had no clue it was based on that one.
@DemihumanGosu have you been living under a rock for your whole life? This is not an original, its a cover of the Beatles song! You know The Beatles, only the most famous band ever? Looks like you are the one who needs to brush up on their "musical education". Just sayin'...
@DemihumanGosu this is a cover of the classic beatles song "Blackbird", but it's done in a very different way; I had trouble recognizing the song at first. The lyrics remain the same though.
@JeffnWab I'm surprised nobody answered this already. The song is Blackbird, and it's a Beatles song, but this version was performed by Bobby McFerrin.
Victor did much better with the feel of this piece than Channing, imho (more staccato movement, better characterization, especially in the beginning). Overall though, this was a well-done dance; definitely underrated by the judges.
love the routine i remember it what was the channel of so you think you can dance and what was that song before blackbird comment on my channel please
i love the choreography and the concept and how they danced it but it would have been a lot easier to get into with a different song. it's hard to connect to it without music
@DaemonAngael Really? I think the music adds to the quiet brilliance of it. It's a piece that makes you pay attention I think the music adds so much to the performance.
I loved this routine, and thought it was a huge mistake sending Channing home. I think the problem people had was that the music seemed so disassociated / disconnected from everything that it did feel / sound a little awkward. Still loved it.
@cvastine I think it is because of the song choice. I understand why people would like this version of Black Bird. Though personally this version just distracts me from the dance (which is definitely underrated and beyond amazing.) The song choice felt awkward to me.
This peice is a true work of art~ The technicality level of these performers and the routine choeographed for them is absolutely amazing. Love it.

for me, i like this verson of the song better only because it has simple sounds mixed with other ones that make it different in a good way.

This song is not a cover of ANYTHING. This is an original by Bobby McFerrin and is absolutely brilliant, just like the rest of his repertoire.
Morons commenting on how "bad" the song is, just prove how ignorant people actually are regarding their musical education.
