    I was so impressed by Maiya's singing that it took me a solid 40 seconds to realise Ben Folds was on the keys.

    The fact that Ben Folds will be there and jump in on turning one of his songs around and change it completely tells you so much about what a cool composer he must be. Great cover of a great song!

    As a long-time BFF fan, I love this cover - the only thing I feel like it's missing is those sweet backup harmonies. Oh, and I'm not sure about the joker they have soloing on keys - maybe replace that guy.

It was so fun to watch everyone's reactions to Maiya Sykes soulful, masterful singing. And when Mr. Folds took the piano solo, I actually stood up and cheered, all alone in my room, and clapped along with the rest of the song. This is dynamite.

    Equally now there are no cool bands to listen to except, the God Damn, Scary Pocket's. So imagine my delight, after a night shift sleep, that I wake to this!!!
    Somebody pinch me, I must still be dreaming.
    Like Hall and Oates sing, you, you make my dreams come true.

    She plays wipe out on the drums
    The squirrels and the birds come
    Gather around to sing the guitar
    Oh I... have you got nothing to say
    When all words fail she speaks
    Her mix tape's a masterpiece
    Walks through the garden
    So the roses can see
    Oh I... have you got nothing to say
    And you can see the daisies
    In her footsteps
    Dandelions, butterflies
    I want to be Kate
    Everyday she wars the same thing
    I think she smokes pot
    She's everything I want, She's everything I'm not
    Oh. I...
    Have you got nothing to say
    She never gets wet
    She smiles and it's a rainbow
    And she speaks and she breathes
    I want to be Kate
    Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
    She hands out the Bhagaved Gita
    I see her around every couple days
    I want to meet her so that
    I can say... hey Kate
