      @@JoshuaMahinay I think she meant that people instantly hate covers of the song when they don’t live up to the original. Yet she made it her own therefore it people shouldn’t instantly hate.
      But yes, I don’t think anyone said hayleys is worse.

    Why the heck is some people so butt hurt when people comment that Tori does it better? It's their bloody opinion! Jeez, you always hear motivational speeches like 'Express your opinion, be yourself, ignore what people think' etc etc, but one tiny opinion and hell breaks loose. Just freaking enjoy the song, they both are absolutely brilliant of singing this song.

    "The Only Exception"
    When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
    And curse at the wind.
    He broke his own heart and I watched
    As he tried to reassemble it.
    And my momma swore
    That she would never let herself forget.
    And that was the day that I promised
    I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
    But darling,
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
    That love never lasts.
    And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
    Or keep a straight face.
    And I've always lived like this
    Keeping a comfortable distance.
    And up until now I have sworn to myself
    That I'm content with loneliness.
    Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
    Well you are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    You are the only exception.
    I've got a tight grip on reality,
    But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
    I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.
    Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
    Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
    You are the only exception. [4x]
    You are the only exception. [4x]
    And I'm on my way to believing.
    Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

    The only person that covered Paramore and did a great job. I don't think it's at the same level as Hayley's but Hayley's voice is practically impossible to replicate. Both are exceptionally wonderful.

  • @_saint_magda
    @_saint_magda 9 років тому +411

    Nothing will ever compare to the original, but Tori Kelly's vocal is WAY beyond Hayley's vocal capabilities and there's no denying that. I mean I've been a fan of Paramore since their first album, but Tori Kelly's voice is unbelievable.

    • @Cheeksterton
      @Cheeksterton 9 років тому +18

      ***** I hope you do know that Hayley Williams had to go have vocal training because her technique started to ruin her voice... Js..

    • @Buddhagon
      @Buddhagon 9 років тому +19

      ***** you do realize that nodules come from bad technique more often than not right? They don't just come in out of nowhere, they're usually the result of your vocal folds straining and causing friction amongst themselves which leads to calluses. And that only really happens if you scream a lot or you sing a lot with bad technique so...

    • @Buddhagon
      @Buddhagon 9 років тому +2

      ***** 1) Click on -> www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/NodulesPolyps/#f scroll down to "what causes nodules and polyps". 2) No one ever said she actually stuck to or learned a new technique, I'm just saying that the general cause for her loss of range/vocal problems come from keeping bad vocal habits and 3) Hell, even if she managed to get a better technique, that means her nodules have already calcified and that she needs surgery. Even getting to that point means bad technique.

    • @Buddhagon
      @Buddhagon 9 років тому +3

      1) Mariah Carey isn't the majority and also you could hear the nodes in her voice but it was a nice sound. She's also a monster whose range spanned like 6 octaves of who knows what kind of crazy 2) I mean she has she's sung mostly from her throat and not with good resonance sometimes which has made her need to work harder to get a good sound (I mean she still does but yeah effort) and 3) Based on your point, a single flaw in technique that persists can mess you up because singing on tour means a lot of repetition and habits no matter how small can add up over the course of a tour. No one said she had terrible technique, and hell Whitney Houston had some blaring problems in her technique but she was a goddess and sounded amazing. What I'm saying is her technique was just bad enough to cause her nodes in the situation she's in, that's all

    Tori Kelly's voice is so mellow and sweet. She surely SINGS ! Her style is her own. I can see that she is an artist that attracts your attention with her mellow and cascading voice that reminds me of a waterfall.

    This serves me absolute nostalgia. I remember those summer days where I listen to this song and makes me relaxed. Makes me long for Paramore and hope they could make a new album with similar songs like this. Kudos to Tori for performing this organic and stripped version👌 she made this her own song. What a talent 🙌👏

    OMG. I love it. I feel like it was more emotional than the original, not necessarily better. I love how Haley sings it too.

    This just blew my mind. Especially the ending.

    When I was younger
    I saw my daddy cry
    And curse at the wind
    He broke his own heart
    And I watched
    As he tried to reassemble it
    And my momma swore
    That she would never let herself forget
    And that was the day that I promised
    I'd never sing of love
    If it does not exist, but darlin'
    You are, the only exception
    You are, the only exception
    You are, the only exception
    You are, the only exception

    As he tried to reassemble it
    And my momma swore
    That she would never let herself forget
    And that was the day that I promised
    I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
    But darling, you are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
    That love never lasts
    And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
    Or keep a straight face
    And I've always lived like this
    Keeping a comfortable distance
    And up until now I had sworn to myself
    That I'm content with loneliness
    Because none of it was ever worth the risk
    But you are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    I've got a tight grip on reality
    But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
    I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
    Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    You are the only exception
    And I'm on my way to believing
    Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

    Is there a way to like multiple times?? Because I don't think pressing the thumbs up button is working very well. Good job, Tori!! I love you and your music. You are one of my favorite artists and I hope you never sound your sound to match what the mainstream people are doing. That's not real. But you are.

    @silvinha516 9 років тому +2

    She slays it every time because she makes the songs about her voice and her style and not who sings it. It's not about being better or worse. Music is not a science, if you prefer one version or the other, it's just about that, preferences.
