i think antony was able to take a song that was about fun, spontaneity, surprise, etc. and completely shift the mood towards darkness and insecurity, self reflection, and paranoia--the complete opposite reaction... he was able to make his own quite reversed version of an "upbeat" song and still make it wonderful to listen to...truly a great artist.
+mightybazooka "Antony is transgender and uses feminine pronouns. In an interview with Flavorwire in November 2014 she stated "My closest friends and family use feminine pronouns for me. I have not mandated the press do one thing or another... In my personal life I prefer ‘she’. I think words are important. To call a person by their chosen gender is to honor their spirit, their life and contribution. ‘He’ is an invisible pronoun for me, it negates me."" She's a she.
The beauty of this amazing cover is that it shows the strength of the song writing. Upbeat and dancey or aching and haunting ....both Beyonce and AJ's version are simply compelling!!!
LOL plsssss… Crazy in Love is quite possibly the greatest pop song of the 21st century. An instant classic by the most important artist of the last 25 years.
There's the original funky Crazy in love. Then there are those covers that obviously try hard to turn it into something quirky and personal. Then there's this, an effortless, beautiful cover from Antony.
Wow. I heard this on Aussie Triple J while I was working, it slowly filtered into my conciousness and I found myself mouthing the words, becoming mesmerised by the end of the song, and I had to stop working. It took me a few days to recognise that it was a cover of a song I'd never took much notice of. Wow again, so beautiful.
I think he transcends the feeling of desperation to the fueling of lodging amplitude of ones selflessness. To levels we actually at least felt once when we start to feeling the peeling of discontent and the first signs of lost... tears
Thank you very much! I was lucky to be able to hug him in Austria (he was about to run to his car after his gig), I gave him/her compliments and he said 'thank you thank you'....such a down to earth Angel!!!!
The Amazing Antony does it again. Hearing this version live was surreal! Now i only wish he would release his version of Whitney's I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY which he has performed live in the past!
everyone has the right to choose what music they honor their ears to hear and how that genre or band or artist moves them but, regardless of the endless choices we must not confuse one with the other. there ARE real true artists and bands that create music for the soul while their are plenty of fake artists and bands that discard the processing and enjoy the consequence. i for one grace my ears with Antony & the Johnsons.
Super video, it is very nice to finally see Antony in his videos; hes got a good look for film. The song is haunting and sinister; very emotional. I really like the old video cassette effect with the white lines at the bottom of the screen; I loved the imperfections of the past, this present time is so sterile in its perfectionism. Great song, great video Antony...keep them coming! X
I look and stare so deep in your eyes I touch on you more and more every time When you leave I'm beggin you not to go Call your name two or three times in a row Such a funny thing for me to try to explain How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame But I still, don't understand Just how your love can do what no on else can Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love Got me lookin so crazy right now Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch Got me lookin so crazy right now Got me hoping you page me right now, your kiss Got me hoping you save me right now Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin Lookin so crazy in love When you talk to my friends so quietly "Who he think he is?" Look at what you've done to me Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress You ain't here, ain't no one else to impress It's just the way that you knew what I thought I knew It's just the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you But I still don't understand Just how your love can do what no one else can Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love Got me lookin so crazy right now Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch Got me lookin so crazy right now Got me hoping you page me right now, your kiss Got me hoping you save me right now Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin Lookin so crazy in love Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love Got me lookin so crazy right now Got me lookin oh crazy right now, your touch Got me lookin oh crazy right now Got me hoping you save me right now, your kiss Got me hoping you page me right now Lookin so crazy, you've got me lookin Lookin so crazy in love Ohoh Crazy right now Crazy right now Lookin Lookin so crazy Got me hoping you page me right now Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin Lookin so crazy in love
I first saw Antony and the Johnsons in the movie 'Animal Factory.' Nothing could make prison life look more heartbreaking and lonely than seeing Antony sing in that wounded falsetto in a dreary improvised stage in prison.
Really took this song and reinvented it, did something totally different with it, think its quite genius in its purpose and execution. its like it was suppose to be this way from the begging and it found itself through this cover.

Antony has one of the purest and most emotive voices of this generation. She might be an angel for sure..

@@MrAbbotm She* ANOHNI*
How can her voice be that good?!
Antony has taken a pop hit about the preoccupation of love and turned into an ode of desperation. Beautiful. Haunting.
So moved and touched with this version I am speechless. You are an entity, Anohni. God bless your existence and your art.
Amen🎉

Sameoldfitup ty love that
Such a meaningful, melancholic cover of Beyonce's wild and uptempo original.
Always been curious to know what would Beyoncé think about this cover cause it’s possibly better than the original

@@iago07 who said that?
@@iago07 lol as IF! So overrated.
It doesn't call cover, but version. ... Beyonce !!?? Jajaja.
Anthony introduce feeling, emotion....
Heavenly
This is the finest cover version of Crazy in Love - the orchestra arrangement, wow!!
Little Kiwi I wonder if b or solange had seen this??
There's the original funky Crazy in love. Then there are those covers that obviously try hard to turn it into something quirky and personal. Then there's this, an effortless, beautiful cover from Antony.

Have loved this wonderful human being for so long,amazing version of this song.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is so beautiful I cried.
i love the serious nature of it, of what was a celebratory pop song, to find that level, that depth - extraordinary
Was lucky enough to see this at Swanlights at the Melbourne International Arts Festival last night... utterly spellbinding!!

English?
NiangoChan In shorthand she means, "he sings to us and he does it well."
Al P lol
This was easy to understand, Latrice .
Wtf
I always love it when artists create dark covers of 1990s/2000s songs.
Thank you very much! I was lucky to be able to hug him in Austria (he was about to run to his car after his gig), I gave him/her compliments and he said 'thank you thank you'....such a down to earth Angel!!!!
Holy shit! This is absolutely phenomenal. A true artist in every meaning of the word!
I'm lost for words...superb! and so deep i never thought of this song this way, touchs my heart
You are a genious ....brilliant....wonderful.....thank you so much!

This is really a rear thing. A song that makes your soul shiver, your heart ache and makes you want more…
HO... LEE... SHIT... this is awesome!
The Amazing Antony does it again. Hearing this version live was surreal! Now i only wish he would release his version of Whitney's I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY which he has performed live in the past!

Me too. Alone. I'm her
This is absolutely breathtaking! I love bey but this is just phenomenal!!!!
awesome! i love this cover and the video is something else....love having antony in it!
Acho que a pessoa assina que é artista, de fato, quando muda uma versão conhecida. Demais. Awsome. Diferent...
holly shit
this is masterful
heard this on a gig last year, realized how it's not the song or story but more how it's told. blown away.
Wow!!!! Most favorite! Breath taking....
i finally understadn this song and what it means..this version has more raw emotion than bs one and i dont think anyone can argue with that
This is simply stunning , he has the most peaceful voice ..
Quando o cover fica melhor que a original🙏🏻💙
oooohhhhh aaaahhhh!!!!
Totally sublime
Super video, it is very nice to finally see Antony in his videos; hes got a good look for film. The song is haunting and sinister; very emotional.

Great song, great video Antony...keep them coming! X
Wao! This singer is so amazing... I can´t understand his style so good, but there is something in your voice, somthing painess... Good song.
Breathtaking.
Magistral!!!
What a rare talent,beautiful,absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!
They've made it into a torch song. BRILLIANT.
Imho Antony can turn Friday in a heartstopping song.
Antony pretty much owns this song in my brain.
Flawless like all Antony's work xx
I wish I knew what Beyonce has to say about Antony's version of this song...
that same thought goes through my mind every time i play this song, which is frequent... 😆😂🤣
Probably would say it's a pile of shit
original (Beyoce) s good..sexuality
but Antony as always shows the fragilty in life, in love here...AMAZING as always
Magic, deep...Pure beauty- wow!
This song just became beautiful.
Per- fect! Amazed!
Beautiful version.
Perfect combination of sass and despondency
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave I'm beggin you not to go
Call your name two or three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
But I still, don't understand
Just how your love can do what no on else can
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love
When you talk to my friends so quietly
"Who he think he is?" Look at what you've done to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
You ain't here, ain't no one else to impress
It's just the way that you knew what I thought I knew
It's just the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your touch
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me hoping you page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you save me right now
Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love
Got me lookin so crazy right now, your love
Got me lookin so crazy right now
Got me lookin oh crazy right now, your touch
Got me lookin oh crazy right now
Got me hoping you save me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you page me right now
Lookin so crazy, you've got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love
Ohoh
Crazy right now
Crazy right now
Lookin
Lookin so crazy
Got me hoping you page me right now
Lookin so crazy, your love's got me lookin
Lookin so crazy in love

Beautiful voice. Beautiful song.
Beautiful. Crazy. Love.
This is utterly amazing
Amazing! Antony is brilliant!
Yust another Art formm beautifull and unique
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!....I hope I can find this on iTunes!!!!!
luv this version
Até agora não entendi se essa pessoa é homem ou mulher. Mas, anyway, sings with the soul. Impressionante demais!
So beautiful.
How beautiful would it be to hear Antony cover Nina Simone's "Wild is the Wind"? I think he'd be perfect for it.
Chris Kerr yes!!!!
My favorite nina simone song and her voice always reminded me of nina simone
Wonderful!!!!
that's the way it has to be sang, queen b
well... this sounds like melancholic cry... idk. I like it but I feel strange when Im listening to it.
The live version is so much more emotive tbh
VERY BEAUTIFUL VOICE !!!! i LOVE !!!!!!!!!
I first saw Antony and the Johnsons in the movie 'Animal Factory.' Nothing could make prison life look more heartbreaking and lonely than seeing Antony sing in that wounded falsetto in a dreary improvised stage in prison.
It is without doubt powerful.
this song is an excellent example how to turn sh*t into gold
Fantastic voice, really makes the song his own
Wow, this is great! Reminds me of Klaus Nomi.
Interesting...
Stunning song....riviting video...
one of best comments ive read .screams but in a whisper.
BEAUTIFUL...............
really comes alive in the last minute or so of the song...
his voice touched me tnx
Stunning.
This is art...
2020 just found a diamond!!!
wow, incredible!
ooooooooooooh I do love ittttt
Really took this song and reinvented it, did something totally different with it, think its quite genius in its purpose and execution. its like it was suppose to be this way from the begging and it found itself through this cover.
UUUGGH why he is so talented?
OH MY GOSH!!! Im so slow!!! Crazy In Love Beyonce... I love this version more its freakin addicting
i never realised this song kind of had beautiful lyrics!
