  • i looooove this song!!!!!! creepy yet sweet.... =P

  • i'm having constant goosebumps Oo

  • This is a good cover. Dark and creepy and completely sick.

  • I was wanting someone like sum 41 or zebrahead to do this song.

  • @madmike1 ahh zebrahead would be cool XDD

  • I like this better, i think maybe it would have been too much(?) with THREE almost exact same songs. The original and FOB are upbeat and exciting and what not and i think it's a nice change with a song that's more "confused" and "a bit scared" of what they have stumbled upon.. I think this song really captures "what IS this?" as someone behind me said : )

  • Don't get me wrong, I love this version. But it just isn't as good as FallOutBoy in my opinion

  • I notice a lot of people are comparing this version to Fall Out Boy's, but the fact is, they can't be compared, ass they play on two different emotions. Fall Out Boy's is one of excitement and wonder whilst this version is one of fear and mystery. Compared to the original, I believe they both do the song amazing justice, in their own way.

  • @xBucketOfEvilx actually you can compare them on which emotions work better with the song

  • @GuitarRocker2008 you can only compare them to the original, not each other, they're just too different.

  • I think Flyleaf explores the possibility of Sally having discovered Christmastown instead of Jack. I've always enjoyed this rendition. I do like Fall Out Boys' rendition, and enjoy its' energy, and I believe Panic!'s version was just weak, but this one just seems to emit pain at the same time as the joy and confusion displayed in the others, especially Danny Elfman's. I think it's a refreshing twist on the original.

  • OMFG IT'S SO AMASING!!! Though, I personally like the rock-like versions MUCH more; this is so awesome!!!!!

  • I like it it's quite eerie but I think I prefer fall out boys version :/

  • I really like this version. It's true, it's a less ecstatic excitement like the original was but it's a different kind of mystical awe. I think they did a good job. :]

  • theres something wierd about this song that makes me love itt:D

  • I actually like this song because it is so different from the original. They made this song their own, which I feel is what bands should do when covering. However the original is still the best.

  • @Emileegooiega You just said "Duh, Winning Bitches I Won!" Bravo

  • It is a good song. I'll them that. But I feel that it took some of the energy away from the original. I liked it just as much. It's just different.

  • this is awesome

  • they should of used the panic at the disco version

  • ur going have haters on pretty much everything then have small group or big one hating on that one little fucking song or etc that why say fuck it go home smoke a blunt o wait people hate that too so i guest have get eight ball or herorine and fucking hooker o yeah already see the problem jk ^ ^

  • i listened to the first set of vocals and well no go flyleaf this song was originaly a very fast paced exciting song with jack poping around everywhere slowing it down really killed it for me = / -sigh- not one of the better of the covers (in my opinion)

  • WOW why isnt amy lee singing this song she would do so much btr than girl

  • @STARSCREAM0311 She sings Sally's Song,and Flyleaf does good on this,to me. I do prefer the other cover,though.

  • Jesus, how could anyone dislike this? Personally, I think Lacey's voice sounds beautiful in this song..

  • I...really don't like this cover. I like Fall Out Boy's cover much better.

  • @Destry1819 Pete Wentz isn't even the lead singer of FOB. XD

  • I have no idea why Flyleaf is getting so much hate because of this cover.. I personally think this cover is amazing and i LOVE Flyleaf!!!

  • What's this? What's this? There's haters everywhere!

    What's this, What's this? There's comments in the air!

    What's this, I can't believe my eyes these haters are all streaming wake up Jack it isn't fair!

  • @KuroiShiruku you have just won a skeleton

  • @Sailormoonlovers101 Jack the skeleton? :3

  • @XxKikupockyloverxX me: yes here you go jack :wait what?

  • i very much dislike 194 people

  • @Destry1819 well in your eyes (well ears) the Fall out boy one is better but to some they love the flyleaf one and if you like the Fall out boy then you should listen to that one and not come here and say Fall out boy is better.

    Different to everyone

  • Did anyone notice the new black progress bar?

  • I liked the song. Not as much as the original but maybe thats because I watch the movie all the time and I just love how it is.

  • Although the the P!atD version captured the cheer of the original, I like this version because it captures the "wtf IS this??!" sort of chaotic quality that always endeared me to the song.

  • @Skummy5446 You mean Fallout Boy? Panic did "This is Halloween." I agree, though; both versions have their merits.

  • Honestly I really like Flyleaf but this song sucks, Its to depressing Its awesome they tried to make it there own way but it just dosn't fit. This song is supposed to be happy .! Fall out boy made an incredible cover, but Flyleaf you simply FAILD...

  • That's a damn good question.....

  • I absolutly love the original version of this song, and i love flyleaf, but this is definatly not one of the best songs on nightmare revisted or any of the flyleaf albums, this song is supposed to be upbeat, curious and joyus. instead it sounds like they dont even want to know what it is. Sorry, Dislike.

  • I like that she tried to make it her own. I like the vocals but something isn't quite clickling. and I still like flyleaf the same and I'm proud she took on the song. it was kinda difficult make it your own and still keep a spirit up. FOB nailed it but that's FOB.

  • The song is alright, she could have done better. The instruments are too cluttered together, you can't hear the vocals properly.

  • Comment removed

  • ok yes your intitled to your opinon but why would you go to a video you dont like just to comment and anyways this version has more views and the more you view this to leave your hate coments the more views so you would think you would have some sence to stop

  • She's got one thing right: "What's this?" because, really, what the *HELL* is this?! FOB was better. They got the spirit of the song right, Flyleaf totally fucked it up.

  • This version depressed me a lil bit. lol

  • epic :O love it <3

  • Personally, I think their version is so magical. Everytime I listen to it, it gives me chills. I feel like I am floating when I hear it. The FOB one is, okay. But, in my opinion it cannot beat the beauty of this version.

  • i prefer the one fall out boy did....

  • ..............what the FUCK is this?! god Fall Out Boy did so much better!

  • I actually really like this version.

    Haters gonna hate. xD

  • the FoB version is better :/

  • @shedoom1 well it on depends on your point of view. this one is really amazing because you can tell that it is about a dark person finding Christmas and i am a big fan of flyleaf so i love this one very much but i love the Fall out boy one because i love the band and i like the fastness. so really its not best o not its what you like the most because its different for everyone

  • @emileegooiega this is so true...

  • @0rolands0 im glad some one sees it too

  • OK please please stop complaining about this amazing song. if you don't like it leave and don't listen to it, if you like the song then like it you don't have to complain because the song isn't pop or fast and if you want fast and don't like this song then go to the Fall out boy one And Please just leave if you don't like it i'm sure No one wants to read about you complaining just because its slow and not your taste in music. Thank you

  • i rather dislike this.

  • @Crazytrainrocker why? i think she did a great job in this song.

  • I think this rendition captures the wonderment intended with the song perfectly. Fallout Boy may have gotten the excitement but this song is so.... dreamy.

  • I don't like this version - Fall Out Boy's one is WAYY better

  • Holy crap , i love this song & her voice :D

    Its really neat how she made the song different (:

  • Fall Out Boy did it better... Flyleaf doesn't suit Jack.

  • 186 people are throwing snowballs instead of heads

  • wait... throwing snowballs instead of throwing heads? MADNESS!

  • Its amazing how something I loved so much as a kid and the musicians I love now have come together..It's really a dream come true :')

  • This is so cool i am all of a sudden discovering these remade Nightmare Before Christmas songs. i love the shiny toy guns one too

  • I absolutely love the original version. I don't care who does a cover; the original captures Jack's fascination, excitement and curiosity about Christmas town the best. What I really like about Flyleaf's version is that it shows a different side of this astonishment. Like when someone who comes from such a dark world is introduced to a "warm" and happy one, it really is like, What is this?? I never knew that this feeling and this world could exist. I prefer term revised over revisited.

  • death metal would make this better

  • @bloodgordge death metal suits anger and action. not happiness. it would suck if hannah montanna or something like that was made metal, wouldn't it?

  • @blooboy4747 well maybe not death metal but something fast because jack is excited about this new thing

  • @bloodgordge yeah, i agree. i still kinda like this though.

  • I like the fall out boys version better, it give the effect thats you get in when you listen to the original, this one makes me feel a tiny bit gloomy bit is cool.

  • duhh if you dont like it them just listin to something else, flyleaf's style is rock which is not all exciting and stuff

  • Christmas Town?... Hmmmm...

  • people need to STOP saying "i feel depressed now" or "this song sounds to sad" this is a Great song i love it and if you don't then STFU and change the song to something that you like and stop Crying about this song. i personally think she did a amazing job on this song

  • Comment removed

  • @ScHiZoToToDiLe ? how this is a great song

  • fuckin haters

    

  • I think it needs more energy. It doesn't sound like she's experiencing things for the very first time. Still love it though.

  • yea Lacey did a great job on this song =w= i can't get it out of my head

  • Her voice is absolutely beautiful, but it's too sad. I felt depressed after I heard this. Flyleaf should have covered Sally's Song.

  • they did good on this song..And lacey her voice is beautiful and it doesnt sound depressing -..-

  • I think this would have benefited from slowly increasing the tempo through the whole track instead of speeding to each "What's this?" and then slowing back down again. Just speeding up after each verse could have captured his hesitant feeling at first and then his joy as he realized just what he'd stumbled across

  • Why did Flyleaf cover Sally's instead of this song. It feels like they are trying to catch up to the speed of the original, but can't since its flyleaf (Not saying thats a bad thing in itself, just doesn't work for one of the fastest songs in movie.) >_>

    I would say Rise Against, but then I love what they did with Making Christmas. This song is about seeing so many new and interesting sights all at once that he has to keep blurting out "Whats this?". Why couldn't they kept the speed?

  • This was always one of my favorites of all the tracks

  • Flyleaf shouldn't of covered this IMO Lacy's voice is a bit too rough for the track

  • Why This is a Good Cover (Note the word "cover"): This is not the original. It is a re-interpreted version. What this cover does very well, at least in my estimation, is evoke a sense of confusion and desperation. The King of Halloween is, essentially, depressed at this point in the movie. When he stumbles upon this place so different from where he's from, he is disoriented and confused by what he sees. This strangeness, however, is exactly what he's been searching for: something different.

  • @Rayfe17 He's desperate to have whatever this is. He needs it so bad that it hurts. That is the picture that this version of the song paints for me and, while it may not be how the movie plays out, it could have very easily gone that direction and made as much sense stylistically. The song is not "sad" or anything like it. The character of the singer (Jack) has come across something so profoundly different than his own world that he's overwhelmed, overjoyed, and a little afraid at the same time.

  • For all the people who love the FOB version and complain that this song sucks should go over to the FOB one and let the people who actually enjoy the song have peace.

    P.S : Flyleaf did a great job!

  • personally, I don't hate this version of the song, it's got a nice tune, but it was supposed to be such a "WOW! what are these things??" kind of moment, so if this was just a song and not from the movie, I'd probably like it a bit more because then I wouldn't have known that is was supposed to be such a exciting moment. Even though not having the same excitement like Fall Out Boy, this isn't bad.

  • really? i think its happy sounding

    it has a more wondering sound then the fall out boy version which dont get me wrong i like there version too

    it just slow down to a nice soothing flow which i like too

  • Hmm...her voice is beautiful, but it sounds so sad :(

  • I'm sorry. But this is just awful. Fall Out Boy all the way. I mean, you could tell there was effort. But like everyone says, the excitement and joy is not captivated by Flyleaf. Flyleaf would have been good for some other song (maybe) just not this one. Her voice is beautiful though.

  • Okay. I understand, some of you don't like it being such a different style. Honestly, I prefer the original myself. But this is good in its own way.

  • Stop hating it's a cover! I like both versions, but I think this one is better. MY OPINION!

  • I love this song more that the original one..

  • I sang this in the shower and when I came out my mother asked me if it was time for "the talk"

  • @alliebozell848 LMBO.

  • @alliebozell848 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH SHIT MAN HAHAHHAH,....NIICE

  • @alliebozell848 I never thought this song had any sexual connotations, but that comment just made my day!

  • @alliebozell848 lol wat did u talk about?

  • @alliebozell848 i think you have a "normal" family

  • What this What this There people hating everywhere

  • @Indiancowboy28 HAHAHA i dont know why but i seriously laughed super hard when i read this

  • mmm i must say i am one of the haters in this one. There is no problem with voicing outrage at having your beloved song being raped.

  • @toolworks i listened the other version it was 2 happy -.-

  • @AnimeLuverM90 I do love this version,,, but isn't it supposed to be happy?? O_o XD XD

  • @AnimeLuverM90 It is meant to be happy! Happiness in discovering something which he has been longing for!

  • i luv this version :P

  • this is better then the other 1 but thts my opinion :P

  • it doesn't fit the the situation. flyleaf missed the target on this one. Far too depressing. Want a better version, try fall out boy

  • @PsionCreed They were a bit too cheery, this one kind of flows better. It is sung a little darker, but the whole film was dark so it meshes rather nicely.

  • @TheDarkestofHell Considering this one is on the album, i guess someone liked it. But the movie wasn't that dark, it was badass. To me, this version doesn't make jack seem overjoyed with christmas. But i've never been a flyleaf fan myself. But like i said, this one made it to the album, so i can't complain too much.

  • @PsionCreed Yeah, don't think I said it was bad. If anything you were the one implying that this version failed. I think it works though, the movie actually was dark. It was in a Halloween world, thats pretty dark. Yeah, it was bad ass I won't deny that. Being bad ass doesn't mean it can't be dark.

  • @TheDarkestofHell Listen up. This is not supposed to sound like it could replace the original soundtracks. This is just a cover on a album. Or something.

  • This is suchhh a good cover of this songgg. ♥

  • bad...

  • love this version of 'what's this' !

    i think, that this is a really good one for the movie (:

  • Flyleaf made this suck. i said it

  • @12hyuga that's your opinion :P i'm not going to murder you for it XD i love it XD

  • @DemonicAngel66623 well, i hope not. but thanx for not flamin me :)

  • @12hyuga no problem :P ;)

  • @12hyuga they made it awesome not suck :P

  • what i like most is that every band put their own style into the songs, and that makes it awesome. i for one like this version more than Fall Out Boy's.

  • its great, it gave me chills

    but they could have done a little better

  • I think it's really good, it gives it a dark side to it :D

  • I've never been a fan of Flyleaf... I'm even less of a fan now. Just sayin'.

  • I kinda like it, its kinda trippy

  • why should a cover try to copy exactlyy what the original did thats retarded i dont wana hear two people sing the exact same way i want variance

  • Flyleaf version- Halloween

    Fall out Boys- Christmas

    This is how I see how they each sang the song.

  • Hey guys! Guess what?

    FLYLEAF ISN'T JACK. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS.

    They did a good job making it different. I don't want all the covers to be exactly LIKE THE ORIGINAL.

  • 1.Danny Elfman

    2.Fall Out Boys

    3.Flyleaf

  • fall out boys definitely did it way better ^_^ but this version is good too

  • it dosn't get the feeling , but it rocks anyways!

  • the first few times I listened to this it took me completely off guard and I really disliked it... but this being about the fourth time I've tried to listen it, I was in the right frame of mind and I realize that I really freaking love it o.0

  • Although it's not as energetic, I like it..

  • The first line sounded really strange but once I got use to it.........Man this is great!

  • fail

  • Me's perfer Fall Out Boy's version... I agree with alot of others, this is creepy and downbeat which I woul dnormally love alot and I do, but the songs meant to be upbeat, like Fall Out Boy's,

    ...as well as they are my favorite band.

  • Creepy

  • the both are intresting !! felicitations :)

  • It's not so much creepy as much as it sounds depressive. The original was upbeat, since jack was truly excited to see something new, as was the Fall Out Boy version, but I do agree that this is an interesting take on a great song.

  • This is a good cover, but the original is SOOOOOO much better.

  • I really love Flyleaf, and I really like this version...buuuuut, I don't think they capture the feeling of the original in it. It's cool that it has a creepier feeling and such, I understand this, but as it being one of my favorite songs from the movie, I honestly like the Fallout Boy version more.(SETTLE DOWN.) Only for the fact that it keeps to the fun and quick pace feel of the original that I love. Of course in my opinion, I like them all a lot. :)

  • AWSOME!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥ I Love It!!!!

  • Oh...I love how they made this sound kinda depressing.

  • I love flyleaf but I like the fallout version better.

  • Holy hell...Don't tell me your all in an up roar with Flyleaf's version?! You crazy?

    Go listen to Sparklehorse, if you have sense of music, you'd agree this is better than Sparklehorse!

    I think this a great song, just because it's diffrent from the orginal doesn't make it less worthy. It's a diffrent outtake on the song...And yes everyone has thier own reasons but don't make such a fuss about it.

    In my opinion this is one of best songs on the album.

  • FUCK UP BAD NO NO NO STOP MAKING FEEL LIKE IM SAD THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE UP BEAT WITH HAPPINESS AND JOYFUL SOUND BUT THIS UMMM MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM SAD

  • @punkXroxXprincess81

    Well put.

  • @ipwnu8 ?

  • This. Is. EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

  • it really bothers me that she doesn't say christmas town at the end... -_____________-

  • FLYLEAF SUCKS

  • this is so eerily beautiful

  • 1185 people are tone death

  • 176 people don't know what good music is.

  • Just got shown this album, my God this is the worst cover that doesn't fit in with the fucking theme of the movie. Out of the travesty this album released this track offends me the most. It's perfectly acceptable for artists to cover a song in their own version, but this is absolutely fucking shit.

  • @ChamesLiverpool Really, and I suppose you think Sparkle Horse's cover of Jack's Obsession or the Town Meeting song on this album were done justice? To me, those were the worst two songs and didn't do the originals justice. This, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable to me.

  • ..This version is awesomer than Fall Out Boy would ever be :'D In my opinion. XD

  • @JackOfSpades

    i litterly LOL'd at my computer when i read that, and didnt stop for about 5 min.

  • IT NEEDS TO BE FASTER LIKE FALL OUT BOY

  • @KH2GrimReaper Lol no it doesn't xD If you want it to be faster than do it yourself with Audacity

  • I don't mind this cover, I think taking a different take on the song was pretty much the whole point. There's a problem with modern [stupid] society thinking the word "cover" means "karaoke" it doesn't have to sound exactly the same as the original, and in fact, it shouldn't. Though I do hate this album as most of the band's covers just fuel the huge amount of NBC posers their are out there, I also think Flyleaf respects the original film.

  • @alyssalovesrock08 its funny because this doesn't sound demonic and flyleaf is a christian band soooooooooooooo

  • @duranaiden15 @alyssalovesrock08 Flyleaf is a Christian band, like @duranaiden15 said. And, All-American Rejects and Panic! At the Disco are on this album, too. The point isn't to make it "demonic" or canonical, just to make it seem more like Halloween. You should probably think carefully about what opinion you're trying to make before you (@alyssalovesrock08) write comments that aren't well-founded or supported. Try to be more open-minded and not judgmental.

  • This is the first song i ever heard of these guys man she sounds really out of it 0_0

  • hmmmm... I thought this song was... faster and more full of joy...
