INSTANT SUCCESS 100/10 MASTERPIECE
Why?
I guess this is less of a valid complaint than a pet peeve, but eh.

Like this crap? I actually like Tori Amos, but I can't hack this. On her behalf though, I think she's a messed up gal, or was at some point. But I don't think I'd have shared this with the world though...

1 ReplyNormally I just plain wouldn't give a shit, but Birdy did this to two songs that absolutely did not need it. Skinny Love by Bon Iver and 1901 by Phoenix. The Skinny Love cover took something really personal and great and made it the backdrop to a music videos that looked like a montage of the most pretentious black and white Tumblr photos rolling about. The 1901 cover feels like she just picked the song for the demographics of the people who liked the original, and then completely mangled the mood and fun of the original. Other than that, I think you're making a generalization that's perhaps a bit unfair.

[quote]>unnecessary high-pitch moments in the middle of words [/quote]God, I hate random embelishes in vocal lines. On the other hand, this female cover version has been done very differently and very well.

Because they can?

So I just listened to 1901 by Bidry..my god that was pathetic.

You should edit OP with some examples.

2 Repliesgo make an instant masterpiece then, according to you it's not that hard.

Doing covers can actually be pretty hard. If everyone knows the original, you have to make it sound like you actually did something to it, instead of playing it back for people in your voice. Most songs sound worse sped up too, so going slow is easier.

Heh, I thought I was the only one
