Kate Bush Running Up That Hill cover MPHO "Brixton Pop Maverick" Live

[dreamvue1]

Been a Kate Bush fan since the eighties. I love this cover and I'm sure Kate would appreciate it too. Beautiful voice you have.

[stormyhills1]

Go on Mpho!! you were always up there with the very, very best. I really love this version of yours. JM

[Parthoris]

I love this cover version: brilliant.

[peckamite]

One of the best RnB covers of a rock song. Fantastic cover

[gabipotsdam]

oh i love it

!!!!!

[Toccato]

Beautiful!! Both, the performance and the Lady :)

[snafuart]

AMAZING cover!!!!!

You guys made my day! :) TY

[Nataliecobain]

Placebo is better ))) 

[tubebunny7]

She is all over the place in this version, like she wasn't too sure how to go about singing the song. Too bad, some parts were pretty decent but she definitely did better on the other live cover version:

[marczella4]

That's a very delicate cover and I love it, great job.

[Blogclart]

Amazing but I tried to repost this on Facebook and I got a message saying that it regards this clip as abusive or spam, which is a shame cos more people need to see this.

[w032182]

I DIED

[w032182]

... I died and I wanna do it again.

[tarotcub]

omg... this is incredible!

[YusefKwelib]

Totally inspired...my second favorite cover version!

[MinmatarDE]

sounds to much "lalala" .. I miss the tragic ambient from kate

[delra93]

Does anyone who know who the drummer is ? See him all the time on TV at festivals and things, can always pick him out because of his backpack... MYSTERIES.

[cprostudio]

pretentious and no honesty, full of vocal effects

[Mikeypod]

This is really great. Love it.

[armymike123]

American Idol makes everyone think their a judge. Give us a break guys, your image isn't as important as someone actually contributing to music.

[JuniperCourt1]

One of the best cover versions i've ever heard! These guys are tight as hell, great vocals, drums and keys! Respect xx

[MrDel000]

Nice one

[Godletyourwillbedone]

The best cover of any kate bush's songs ive ever heard. This is a great performance and deserves many many more hits. Good luck with that.

[cullyvan]

It's horrible. Its like a bunch of session musicians trotting the song out in a music shop to show off their ballady riffs. Theres no soul or human emotion here,every notes in the right place but the piano is too loud its not treated at all, its some shitty preset , the cymbals are too shiny and frankly I dont want to look at them.

Very Very tired guys. Sing and play it like you mean it next time.

[apoct]

@cullyvan Couldn't have put it better myself. There is no emotion in this song and the singer's is way way out of her depth ability speaking. She just can't sing these notes. Also, that stupid "pain-stricken" nod the pianist makes at the beginning of the video just irritates me. So so disappointing. And insulting to Kate Bush.

[farram3]

@cullyvan Well I disagree, she has done a great job. What emotion does she have to show? Cry while singing, because that´ll be ´human´ to you? Well, I guess if you don´t like it, then you just don´t.

[cullyvan]

@farram3 No worries, its just a bit starbucks for me. Someone pounding away on a timpany couldve made the difference.

[cullyvan]

@farram3 Theres a lot of faux emotion here ,  and it takes a real clod to actually make the synth line 04:00 , actually sound worse than the cheap yamaha synth which was originally used for it. But they did it. Cruise ships await.

[gwd110900]

I  Love IT!

[skipp51]

Holy Sh*t, See I like they way they added there own creative touch... This Is what the evolution of music is all about! Very Good Team.... Im sure Kate feels the same way...

[harleyrider916]

LMAO at all the backpack comments...hilarious:) It's so funny how so many people chose to focus on that verses the song. Probably because this was a really good cover and they couldn't find anything to complain about:) GREAT COVER!!!

[Shliaden4]

Worst version I have ever heard of this song

[Kajun666]

Great version. I came here to be dissapointed, no-one can cover Kate with a good version, or so i thought. This is a great tune and very well done. gratz guys i actually enjoyed it. Wishing you the best, goodluck.

[collmari]

wow, really wonderful cover...very impressed!

[eggiweggs]

This is great!! but... why is the drummer wearing a backpack? LOL

[cwarn56]

There are so many bad Kate Bush covers out there but this is great.

[OvaRatidUndaPd]

Best rendition of this song since Kate Bush herself!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK MPHO!!!

[Michibz57]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[gabsmabs62]

the drummer's backpack could be there to help stop rounding his shoulders or for some other practical or medical reason

[1trevorjohn]

@gabsmabs62 It's there cos he's a cool dude

[g45uk2]

great cover, great voice

[brianswany]

Nice version. Kate Bush is a genius. Im glad so many people have covered this...

[kapuzimann]

simply wonderful!



[abschminken]

super!



[RDMNC]

That voice aint my style, but still the instrumental is pretty good

[DANTASTIC3000]

lol it looks like it was filmed in the schools storage closet

[oggfish]

No one like Kate Bush, thats what i say. Many tried and this one is a very nice arrangement and voice.

[ilike2watchstuff]

was the drummer planning to go to school straight after this or something?

[Shangrilala88]

@ilike2watchstuff

was thinking the same LOL

[Indie196]

(N)

[gazveziiir]

Azért van hangulata rendesen...

A placebo-s változat meg sem közelíti. A mostani kedvencem.

[melamed36]

Very good, I like it. Velice pěkné, díky... from Czech Republic (in heart of Europe)

[seworley1]

I'm a huge Kate Bush fan.........this was AWESOME.....teary

[jessicadepessica]

She's so great!

[Edinah]

she sounds amazing

[LilLilliaRose]

i like the drummers backpack :) x

[celerysparrow]

I believe she is the daughter of Sipho Hotstix Mabuse.  Well done girl, you make South Africa proud!

[9juliet2]

Every time I find a new version of this song, which I love, at first I don't like it. But as soon as I get used to it, it becomes fantastic to my ears. And her talent helped me to love this version. Really good.

[batteryman6969]

Excellent. Beautiful singer, beautiful voice. Super talented group. I hope you go far!!

[strato01844]

Great cover! Why the backpack?

[lasvegasplease]

Great British Talent ! So good to see this instead of all the X factor trash we have shoved down our throats !

[lisamaywalters]

love it...beautiful.

[kashy43]

love it

[BigAtheist]

Great cover. you made it yours, thanks.

[benisdown]

they should have a video of US soldiers in action with this song in the back groung! thumbs me up if you agree!

[ForkMySocket]

@benisdown fuq the troopz.

[curtainpower]

Fantastic. 

Kate would be proud of this.

[Selana]

beautifully done

[greenwashed]

she is so good with her vocal dynamics

[anitaREDY]

soooo awesome!

[ppzav]

great...she brought something new and original with this cover...

[lightupmyroom]

This was wonderful!

[Moreasy]

Needs more cowbell.

[HelenandRena]

This still manages to give me the same feeling the original does.

[ripoph]

wonderful cover for a wonderful song

[noijangy]

kant hear the drums, the drums are important for this song, but nice version anyway

[crazywanch101]

Me to the only alright covers are placebo's and WT's but otherwise the original is the only good one ever.This one is not good at all you are freaking raping the song.

[Coldbevies]

Why is the drummer wearing a backpak?

[wholefnshow1]

because he's nigga.

[ppzav]

@wholefnshow1 that's a lousy comment coming from somebody stating in his profile "sick and tired of all the racists on youtube"...

[wholefnshow1]

@ppzav what u talking about? is he died?

[princesfamiliar]

@Coldbevies hahaha was thinking the same thing 

[xowarmfuzziezox]

@princesfamiliar

...maybe he had an important appointment right after?

[princesfamiliar]

@xowarmfuzziezox Or maybe he was on the run from the CIA and had to be ready to run at the shortest notice?

[Coldbevies]

Thank fuckin You.

No, really. You had the pair to take a great original and make an awesome cover (I mean "awesome" literally U was stuck dumb.)

If yer in the Sac, CA area, look me up.

[DStern0]

amaizing cover, I think in Kates version I can feal a lot feelings.

[juliaxskiba]

i'm really liking this! <3

[nursejoyfoto]

an undeniably beautiful voice to a powerful song.

[jordanbusson]

very nicely done.

great voice, and emotion.

[TheTVLicence]

Lies

[TheTVLicence]

Love it, brilliant, but you'll never top the original bitch!

[xxBIRDY]

This is great. Just needs some bass guitar.

[marshfish]

[iKidRoc]

[TheKingOfRingsHHH]

18-o hbk will rest in peace

[s513178]

Hbk 17-1

[jimaction1]

I usually don't listen to or like to hear bands 'cover' my favorite songs but this is an exception! Good rendition.

[chrislow0093]

excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

très bien repris,

[wholefnshow1]

this is like the rocky theme. i like it. lol

[deanriam]

Wish they would stop murdering this song with covers.

[hamdyman]

@deanriam stop searching then for covers if you do not appreciate the great diversity that many talented fans are showing us.. " Appreciate "

[detnated]

beautiful stuff

[toadbellyfire]

You sing that song girl!!!!!

[alexthenerd1]

i really like this cover. and i like kate bush`s and placebo`s v ersions as well. this is a softer version. . .very nice, and different

[baidawi]

Okay so this is about my 10th replay... loving this.

[JShahlo]

hmmm..kinda sounds like Chrisette Michelle..I like it, although nothing tops Placebo's version.

[wilkey687]

this is a good cover but u still cant beat the original im sorry but u just cant

[lolololololoolololll]

every version got their own good.....just which way u think its suit for ur ear...

[littlemayhemx]

Loved it <3

[izzitemi]

Do not like this cover..

[waya121]

hmm she looks like a black Mandy Moore. Quite attractive?

[Agenor333]

Not that the performance is bad here, but the jazzy style doesn't do the trick with this song, which has to be more dark and intimate imo.

[bouduart]

GREAT!

[marcofregons]

eccezzionale, stupenda cover

[bummercucumber]

Not the best version. It's good, though. =]

[stafford311]

Great voice great song...

[pardonmyfrench1]

Amazing song and i hate the way she is singing it. yuk

[Sophifififi]

Im sorry but this has just ruined a great song. Placebo did okay with it but seriously...KILLED.

[haywood86]

Oh why...BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK!?

[perfectlyjust]

WOW-SHE IS AMAZING.

The drummer looks like a complete and utter fool-WTF

[RTJrmine]

I like placebos version but this 1 is awsome 2 and Mpho is awsome!

so don't be jealous!

[SuperTavia]

may i ask why the drummer is wearing a backpack?

[sourmelongirl]

good point.

[gimml111]

He was in a rush? =/ haha

[abcjohnlock1993]

maybe he wants to want to. ha idk. :)

[sheriff4444]

He's carrying my lunch...

[Sternfeger8654]

too slow :/

[superman4linzi]

the instrumental is beautiful but the singer jus kills everything! gd voice but the way she sings this jus ear rape

[owndwitstr1]

@superman4linzi placebo's is much better 7/10 for her 10/10 for placebo

[superman4linzi]

placebos version is epic!

[sabz01]

This is SO beautiful and I love her vocals!! Amazing live!

[Dred2210]

Great job, just perfectly !

You are amazing !!! :)

[kieronmelleyzpage]

O MY FUCKING DAMMMMM she is amazing i luv hir now

i like the end how it just gets better

she kinda pops around 3:18

[16StringsDeluxe]

Woah. Sehr geile Version.

[shanebecameinsane]

placebo is better

[kieronmelleyzpage]

yeah :)

[ladynana67]

i like this one alot and she's incredibly talented but honestly there is something mesmerizing about placebo's version.

[amazingwave]

its the way the lead sings it; its more how to put it monotone and sad at least thats the way i think of it

[seattle0sound]

wow, this woman has an amazing voice, good cover

[80sdave1]

@origbunnie - I agree. I saw her at The Ruby in Manchester.....and yeah this song was amazing live.

[GiantMetalFan]

I think MPHO did a great job on this song.

[FriedZombie456]

Placebo is the tone I would expect this to be played in, but this to me is more creepier sung in such a happy tone. kind of like the child song "ring around the rosie".

[tentheagle]

Kate (the real version) is the one to be measured against

Placebo good 10%

MPHO Nice 9%

Maxwell OK 6%

But OMG Kate is just (NEW WORD REQUIRED)

[alaine27]

sooooooooooooooo goooooooood

[AlexDelalio]

Saw her at the River Island secret sessions ... astonishing voice.

[ridgelac]

Love Kate. Love this.

Placebo's cover is too heavy-handed., doesn't do justice to Kate's style.

[origbunnie]

this girl is amazing singing this live :)

[BeatfiendArtists]

nice

[estella2lenne]

New interepretation. :) Beautifully done. All the versions are beautiful. :)

[WhiteSayuri]

you cant compare the song of the original with this one. its a new interpretation of the song and its a pop version. so its stupid to say this one is better or that one is better. i like both.

[shaarij]

they are spoiling her song :(

[goldenaxeband]

Sorry. I don't like it. The tempo is too slow and has no force. Kate's original is much more ballsy.

[unkpop]

Lovely rendition of one of the most unusual and haunting songs in pop music.

[daystate12345678]

top job - well done.

[xDreamLifter]

That is one big ass pinky ring.

[THEDARKPRINCE231]

placebo song has the best cover tops all im serious most of the covers r either shitty club remixes or this or the other cover like within temptation now that one sucked hard

[fowlgreed]

omg,

this is the best cover of this song ive

heard!

she's awesome XD

[scarlett0907]

Saw her do this live on Tuesday night. She was AMAZING! love her.

[mimszs]

is it just me or does the guy on the keyboards look like him off CSl

[wuzup36i3]

She is CooL.!

I will get. Sounds Good !

She did Kathe some honors.

Nice!

Love,

Teri

[RobbCS]

Amazing cover! Best so far

[jrevilo]

Eine wunderbare interpretation des Kate Bush songs:). I love the song.

[QueenHilene]

there's so many versions of this song and so far I love them all....

[kaep93]

I have saw them... does that drummer ever take his bag of haha x

[indy4ever]

That is EXACTLY what I thought. He didn't take it off when I saw them. Not even when he went to the loo. Weird. But a good drummer.

[tredissa]

sooo beautiful...extraordinary.

[adkiing]

i have said it before and i will say it again...fuck me that is amazing!!!!!

[theogore]

Mpho is luscious and so is this cover.

[ladeeh170196]

COnsidering the original is a marvel I have to say this performance is this is Amazing :)

[valecucciola]

damn it sounds sooo good

[iamtheblackcrowking]

great versian and one of the best covers if not the best I've ever heard!

[kingofgrace]
