      Live versions are just too noisy to deal with from a sound engineers perspective. You can't control the ambience, it's even worse for recording live orchestral instruments.

      @@aaronsolis3076 obviously. I never even imagined that I would be forced to watch it. That makes zero sense. Am I likely to be kidnapped and tortured unless I watch it?! I never assumed that but thanks for pointing out such an obvious fact. Anyway in relation to the reasoning behind my comment, I would love to see Alicia do more Radiohead but there are so many better Radiohead songs that she could do rather than that boring No Surprises. And if you think No Surprises is the best Radiohead song for her to do shows you don’t know many Radiohead songs.

    Lyrics:
    Faith, you're driving me away
    You do it everyday
    You don't mean it
    But it hurts like hell
    My brain says I'm receiving pain
    A lack of oxygen
    From my life support
    My iron lung
    We're too young to fall asleep
    Too cynical to speak
    We are losing it
    Can't you tell
    The scratch
    Our eternal itch
    A twentieth century bitch
    And we are grateful for
    Our iron lung
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
    Suck, suck your teenage thumb
    Toilet-trained and dumb
    When the power runs out
    We'll just hum
    This, this is our new song
    Just like the last one
    A total waste of time
    My iron lung
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
    And if you're frightened
    You can be frightened
    You can be, it's okay
    And if you're frightened
    You can be frightened
    You can be, it's okay
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
    The head shrinkers
    They want everything
    My uncle Bill
    My Belisha beacon
