Everyone's saying they don't like it because she's changing the words to fit her. I'm sorry but this is a COVER not a COPY. Music defines freedom and she has a right to do what she likes. I have huge respect for this girl because she's an amazing singer and doesn't need you guys being picky about little things you don't like, she's the one singing not you. Thanks ❤️
Thank you for pointing this out, I actually was gonna use one that said, “boys” instead of “girls” so this helped! I don’t see why people are complaining
Elbownian Ya but she is still strumming up and down and it's not falling out from under her arm, live recording or not I'm still wondering how she can play standing up
It's pressed against her body, and if you notice her right forearm squeezes it against her, and her left doesn't leave her side. Takes a bit of practice! Try taping something not slippery, like rubbery tape, on the back to create friction while you practice.
11 years on, this remains my favorite Riptide cover. This spontaneity and simplicity are so beautiful. Now things are much more complicated... and less free.
Oh my god. At first I saw it and I was like ugh, another amateur cover but I gave it a chance anyway and HOLY SHIT GIRL. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE. We need to get you famous!
You have an absolutely incredibly voice! I hope you realize what a gift you have been given. I enjoy your music and look forward to more being posted! Keep singing for as long as you can, use that beautiful voice you have been given!
OH MY 0.0 Your ukulele playing is so awesome! And I really love your voice :D This is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. I usually don't like listening to covers, but this really makes me smile :)
omg you are amazing i am so jealous, i have practising this song for about a week now, simply because your song is so beautiful, go on a talent show or something! don't just waste your voice on youtube, there's a 3 in 2000 chance you will get any chance of making a record, however on talent shows, if you win (which im sure you will) you will be able to show everyone your amazing voice :) ily
Hey i just want to say that there once was an almost 9 year old girl who was on youtube on the computer cause she didnt any other device and loved the song riptide. She looked it up. She saw this. She thought to her self "wow shes really good". She didnt care that the words were changed. She thought to herself, i wanna sing like this one day. That girl was me. I am now almost 13 and i have posted my first youtube video ( go check it ooouutttt )! I just remebered this song becuase this was the inspiration for my youtube. I looked it up and here i am listening to your amazing singing and remebering me when i was 8 thinking it was the most beautiful thing ever, and im not being dramatic. So, thank you, thank you lily.
For any of those trying to learn this song the right way , the Chords are Dm , C , and F This is the way she and Vance play the song. If you use the other chords ( Am G and C ) it sounds awful and nowhere close to the actual recording. Also to keep in mind that Vance used a Baritone to record his song so the bigger the Uke the deeper the sound thus sounding like Vance. Enjoy & Thumbs up so everyone can see !
You're voice is beautiful, my only critique is that I hated how you changed the lyrics! I just love the original song so much. Not trying to be dramatic.
I love your interpretation... as the poet says, "I got a lump in my throat cuz, you gonna sing the words wrong." Just purchased your three covers; thank you!
Good job. I really enjoy this cover/your version, your voice and ukulele playing. This is excellent. I like how you changed left hand man to left hand girl.
I was scared of dentists and the dark I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations Oh, all my friends are turning green You're the magician's assistant in their dream Oh, and they come unstuck Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong There's this movie that I think you'll like This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City This cowboy's running from himself And she's been living on the highest shelf Oh, and they come unstuck Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong I just wanna, I just wanna know If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay I just gotta, I just gotta know I can't have it, I can't have it any other way I swear she's destined for the screen Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong Oh lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong Oh lady, running down to the riptide Taken away to the dark side I wanna be your left hand man I love you when you're singing that song And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong And I got a lump in my throat 'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I'm feeling a little confused. sometimes you sound either british or Australian, and i have nooo idea :p Also, really, good! loved it. you should try get on to triple j someday, you're perfect for it :D
I love this! The originality of your voice if fascinating and captivating.. The change of words is an attractive dynamic that you added very eloquently.. Keep Playing & Singing!
You have to understand that one requires more things than just talent to become an internationally known artist. As sad as it might sound it is the truth. It's all about marketing and knowing the right people. There are a lot of amazingly talented singers in the world but it's only a minority who will make it to the "radio stations". Unfair? - Probably ...For example imagine that this lovely girl would have a person like Simon Cowell in her family...she wouldn't be singing on UA-cam, she would be touring the world with a band of her own.
Beautiful cover. I know it's completely the artists decision but it kinda disappoints me when people feel the need to change pronouns in covers just to keep the connotation heterosexual. The original lyrics are great, wish people would simply stick to them but oh well.
Maybe the words matched the way she felt about a man so she wanted to personalize it. She could have just wanted to relate to it more. As feminists it's a huge part of our job to pick our battles and this isn't one that matters as much bud
"I know it's completely the artists decision". I absolutely am a feminist but to be clear, I wasn't commenting to imply that this is a feminist issue. I made it very apparent that it's my personal preference and opinion.
It kinda disappoints me that heterosexual people annoy you by changing pronouns to fit their own personal preference whilst they are singing a song. The original lyrics are great, that doesn't mean they will fit everyone who sings the song - if you make a cover please feel free to keep the original lyrics whilst the rest of us just enjoy the vibe of a perfectly great song whatever pronouns are in it!
How righteous you are in your privilege. Probably about 95% of all songs are explicitly heterosexual. I was perfectly polite in my comment and clear that it was my own preference and opinion. Nor did I say that heterosexual people annoy me. Simply that it's nice every once in awhile when someone appreciates the beauty of original lyrics and doesn't feel the need to change them simply so as to appear straight.
Hang on, you mean straight people expressing that they're straight offends you? So 95% of all songs being heterosexual...because maybe they're written by heterosexual song writers? If a singer wants to change them to fit their needs then it's perfectly okay too. Please hop on back over to tumblr where people care about you being offended and not so much about amazing music. Bye!
omg her voice is amazing but I hate that she changed that one line "I was scared of pretty girls" I understand that it's a cover but I feel like she did it because she didn't want people to think she was gay or something
i think she shouldn't have changed it cause this way is a bit weird. but everyone knows the lyrics so know one would realize the orientation part of it
I hate it when she changes "Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen" to "Closest thing to Vance Joy you've ever seen" it just destroys the flow of the song
+Ryan Thomson even if - it doesn't matter cause live she sounds even better than is this video. I've seen her yesterday playing and singing live and it was absolutely perfect and beautiful!
Clearly none of you have ever played guitar or ukelele before. As the guy above me stated, it is called ghost strumming. When you strum, especially on an acoustic or classical guitar/uke, you have to get a rhythm going, you dont just strum the chords you have to play. You keep a continuous up, down, up, down strum pattern going, then hit the strings only when you want to play the chord, for example, this song's strum pattern would be: down, skip, down, skip, skip, up, down, up, down, skip, down, skip, skip, up, down, up, etc. Moral of the story, don't make assumptions without proper background knowledge first. Just cause someone has talent does not mean they are lip syncing or fake playing and discrediting someone's hard work due to one's own ignorance is not cool.
You can't possibly be trying to pass this off as a live recording? You have backing vocals and you have mixed both the uke and vocal tracks, you have obviously used mic's to record both haha. Great cover, but you shouldn't really be trying to fool us like this.
That's because she recorded it beforehand and edited it the way she likes then now she's lip syncing and mimicking how she sang it when she recorded it. It's not fake because it's still her voice but it's definitely edited in some bits. Especially on 1:45 the autotune was whoops on that part lol.
I thought this was amazing! But just some constructive criticism... I feel like you kinda weren't actually sayin some of the words more like making a noise like them. Maybe form your words more, helps to make the song your own 😊
ugh i hate it when people do covers and substitute the words to fit them. idc if you're a girl and the song makes you sound gay, sing it the way the artist wrote it
I don't see why there is a problem. She can sing it the way she wants and also there is nothing wrong with being gay. If you hate it then you can leave
Rachel Lawal i did leave, i couldn't even finish the song. of course you can sing anything how you want, but is it really a good idea? you didn't write it. dont change the little things bc your not male or it sounds gay now, stfu and sing it how it is written. plus theres a little irony particularly with this song considering a lyric is "i have a lump in my throat cuz your gonna sing the words wrong".
deermary listen, don't go hating on a video of someone who is obviously amazingly talented. I understand constructive criticism but you are just rude. So if you don't like it don't watch it, don't comment mean things. Its not that hard of a concept people.
Laine Sherman i'm rude because changing lyrics to fit you is a selfish thing. gender-fixing lyric changing irks me so much and i think other people should be bothered by it more. i have a opinion and i'd like to share it. trust me, i know the classic "then just dont comment!!!" rule and i follow it almost always, but when a lyric IN THE SONG is "i have a lump in my throat cuz your gonna sing the words wrong" then you should sing the words right! and who said i hated her singing? you clearly misread what i said bc i have no opinion on her singing talent. as for the "then dont watch it!!!" i only watched till the 2nd chorus to know that i dont like the way she changed the song, left a comment on why changing lyrics YOU DIDN'T WRITE to fit you is stupid, and left.
This is fake. You can already tell from when she first starts playing that it was pre-recorded. Plus she auto tuned the shit outta her voice. And look, her strumming doesn't even match up with the audio. Come on, if you're gonna be fake, at least do it well
Like every artist uses auto tune get over it! And plus every artist’s song is pre-recorded for a video for example Ariana Grande’s. Literally every artist does this.
just saw you last night in manchester and now found your channel! i’d seen a few of your videos before and i knew i recognised you from somewhere but i couldn’t work out where! you were amazing last night hopefully i’ll see you again at some point!
Thank you all for your lovely comments, honestly means so, so much to me xx
you are such a good inspiration I love your voice
x
Wow love your cover :) x
Great vid. Question: Did you ever find it hard to play and sing at the same time? Or did it come naturally?
randomuploadsism It came very naturally x
Lilly Ahlberg Ahhh interesting. I simply can't sing and strum ( a different pattern) at the same time. Guess it's different for everybody :)
Everyone's saying they don't like it because she's changing the words to fit her. I'm sorry but this is a COVER not a COPY. Music defines freedom and she has a right to do what she likes. I have huge respect for this girl because she's an amazing singer and doesn't need you guys being picky about little things you don't like, she's the one singing not you. Thanks ❤️
Thank you for pointing this out, I actually was gonna use one that said, “boys” instead of “girls” so this helped! I don’t see why people are complaining
I had a lump in my throat cus she's gonna sing the words wrong, and she did :( lol
How do people play standing up, mine just slips out under my arms every time
omg SAME!
The audio track is clearly not a live recording from the video. Rhythm and sounds don't match up to the strumming at all.
Elbownian Ya but she is still strumming up and down and it's not falling out from under her arm, live recording or not I'm still wondering how she can play standing up
It's pressed against her body, and if you notice her right forearm squeezes it against her, and her left doesn't leave her side. Takes a bit of practice! Try taping something not slippery, like rubbery tape, on the back to create friction while you practice.
Megan Do it with short arms for your Tshirt, it helps sticking to the ukulele, on Tshirts etc. it will just slide down :)
11 years on, this remains my favorite Riptide cover. This spontaneity and simplicity are so beautiful. Now things are much more complicated... and less free.
Can i use this song as my alarm clock song? I feel like this would be the perfect song t to wake up to
You can… however you'll probably want to kill me after a week (;
Lilly Ahlberg ahaha I don't think so used it this morning woke up feeling like I was in heaven
How do u put it as your alarm?
Me 2!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃😃👏👏👏👏💕😃👏
It's my alarm clock sound lol
Oh my god. At first I saw it and I was like ugh, another amateur cover but I gave it a chance anyway and HOLY SHIT GIRL. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.
We need to get you famous!
Hmm it does sound like auto tune though...
"Closest thing to Vance Joy"... nicely done.
Your voice is angelic. I enjoyed your cover 100x more than the original song. I wish this was on itunes lol!
This never gets old! Forgot how amazing your voice is! best Vance Joy cover!
Nice job Lilly!

OH MY 0.0 Your ukulele playing is so awesome! And I really love your voice :D This is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. I usually don't like listening to covers, but this really makes me smile :)
QDCrafts 👍

It’s edited :p you can tell if you do a lot of music making and editing and stuff like that
Anyone else just loves the way she sings "unstuck"? Cuz damn, that's amazing.
This is my fave cover of this song yet! You are beautiful! :) x
Beautifully done.
It's been years since I first found this cover! It's still my favorite! Thank you so much! It's so lovely!!! :]
omg you are amazing i am so jealous, i have practising this song for about a week now, simply because your song is so beautiful, go on a talent show or something! don't just waste your voice on youtube, there's a 3 in 2000 chance you will get any chance of making a record, however on talent shows, if you win (which im sure you will) you will be able to show everyone your amazing voice :) ily

Which ukulele is that? The wood looks so good.

I think its just standard Lanikai concerto or tenor. It sounds beautiful!
It's a Lanikai tenor :)
The wood looks so good? (((((;
I like wood ;D
i love this soo much
I love the sound of the ukulele, and your voice made it even better.

Get this girl signed!!
You did great Lilly!!!! I totally LOVE your voice thank you for posting my FAVORITE song. TOTAL thumbs up
By far one of the best covers of this, awesome job!
For any of those trying to learn this song the right way , the Chords are Dm , C , and F
This is the way she and Vance play the song.
If you use the other chords ( Am G and C ) it sounds awful and nowhere close to the actual recording. Also to keep in mind that Vance used a Baritone to record his song so the bigger the Uke the deeper the sound thus sounding like Vance. Enjoy & Thumbs up so everyone can see !
Yeah like I cant do g cord and when I do it sounds awfull so when I try to play it all sound awfull ;-;
You're voice is beautiful, my only critique is that I hated how you changed the lyrics! I just love the original song so much. Not trying to be dramatic.
Totall agree
I love your interpretation... as the poet says, "I got a lump in my throat cuz, you gonna sing the words wrong." Just purchased your three covers; thank you!

Good job. I really enjoy this cover/your version, your voice and ukulele playing.
This is excellent. I like how you changed left hand man to left hand girl.
i cant even comprehend how much i love this. because fr i swear i hate myself that this is the first time ive heard one of your covers
Your voice smooths my day out like a nutella spread on bread :))
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf
Oh, and they come unstuck
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh
Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong
For the screen
I'm feeling a little confused. sometimes you sound either british or Australian, and i have nooo idea :p Also, really, good! loved it. you should try get on to triple j someday, you're perfect for it :D
Simply amazing. Your voice is wonderful!!!
I think I watch this video like three times a week, still. I love it so much. You're so crazily talented.
You remind me of Kristen Bell! Have you ever gotten that before? Beautiful singing, by the way!
She be changing the lyrics doe

Claire Kessel I dont care if shes a girl sing the right fuckin lyrics
***** you've got issues kid, get some help!!
Nacho La Luz No refunds get the fuck out
*****
You better not be going off an listening to Counting Crows redition of Big Yellow Taxi. They change the lyrics in that too...
if you learn a song in spanish and play it all of latin america will go crazy for your eyes btw
I love this! The originality of your voice if fascinating and captivating.. The change of words is an attractive dynamic that you added very eloquently.. Keep Playing & Singing!
This absolutely lovely! Definitely trying this on ukelele soon. Your strumming patterns were awesome as well. I love the tone of your voice as well :)
Tell me why she isn't (very) famous, and Nicki Minaj is? thank you.
Because Minaj uses her ass and body for talent.
Ayejessaayy So she has fake talent?
ScottYT She's got talent, she can rap . But most of the major things that are part of her fame is ass and body.
You have to understand that one requires more things than just talent to become an internationally known artist. As sad as it might sound it is the truth. It's all about marketing and knowing the right people. There are a lot of amazingly talented singers in the world but it's only a minority who will make it to the "radio stations". Unfair? - Probably
...For example imagine that this lovely girl would have a person like Simon Cowell in her family...she wouldn't be singing on UA-cam, she would be touring the world with a band of her own.
Exactly! There is a lot more to it than just singing talent.
Much Better Than Taylor Swifts Version No Doubt! Great Voice👍
What kind of Ukulele do you have?? Also, AMAZING cover by the way :) Love it.
i think it's lanikai lu-21T ;)
It's a lanikai tenor!😊
Wow. Voice is so amazing! And everything is just so on tune! Love it!
And omg i can't stop looking at your eyes.
I think thats the best cover of this song i ever heard! i really really love it *.*
Get her famous now
Who from 2023?
Well, she's good at sound editing -.-
I love this song & i usually don't like covers of it but your voice is gorgeous &you sing it sooo well!!!
Your voice is so beautiful! I love your version of this song!
are you tiny or is my ukulele tiny?
There are 4 types of ukeleles in different sizes so you probably have one of the small ones
Aaaa okay! Good cover by the way :)
Cheers!

but no worries :)
go on britains got talent or x factor because your amazing
shes australian...
oh..
Nick B oh then x factor or Americas got talent
Nathan Emmett but shes australian...
ik someone already told me
Beautiful cover. I know it's completely the artists decision but it kinda disappoints me when people feel the need to change pronouns in covers just to keep the connotation heterosexual. The original lyrics are great, wish people would simply stick to them but oh well.
Maybe the words matched the way she felt about a man so she wanted to personalize it. She could have just wanted to relate to it more. As feminists it's a huge part of our job to pick our battles and this isn't one that matters as much bud

Moça, parabéns. Você tem um enorme talento.
Conquistou uma fã.
Your voice is amazing!
idk why her voice reminds me of shakira (thats a compliment btw)
omg her voice is amazing but I hate that she changed that one line "I was scared of pretty girls" I understand that it's a cover but I feel like she did it because she didn't want people to think she was gay or something
I'd change it too its normal ...
normal to do. individual, if she prefers boys that's okay too :)
i think she shouldn't have changed it cause this way is a bit weird. but everyone knows the lyrics so know one would realize the orientation part of it
I was thinking about the same thing, I wasn't expecting it to be changed..
I hate it when she changes "Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen" to "Closest thing to Vance Joy you've ever seen" it just destroys the flow of the song
who agrees that girls that can sing become so much more attractive!!
what a beautiful voice! I'm love in your voice!!!!
Such an amazing cover!!! Love this song and you sing it amazingly!!! Love it xx
oh....... my....... god...... that was beautiful
This has been edited and auto tuned to fuck -look at 1:45
real autotuner
trueeeee
your right!
+Ryan Thomson its not auto tune thats her voice
+Ryan Thomson even if - it doesn't matter cause live she sounds even better than is this video. I've seen her yesterday playing and singing live and it was absolutely perfect and beautiful!
does anyone notice that the sound doesn't match her strumming really.
its always like this in ukelele
Alyssa nguyen I think she lip synced it... personally it didn't match up at all
Georgia Birrell I think you're right :-)
it's called ghost strumming where she misses certain strums making it seem like the strumming is out of sync
Clearly none of you have ever played guitar or ukelele before. As the guy above me stated, it is called ghost strumming. When you strum, especially on an acoustic or classical guitar/uke, you have to get a rhythm going, you dont just strum the chords you have to play. You keep a continuous up, down, up, down strum pattern going, then hit the strings only when you want to play the chord, for example, this song's strum pattern would be:
down, skip, down, skip, skip, up, down, up, down, skip, down, skip, skip, up, down, up, etc.
Moral of the story, don't make assumptions without proper background knowledge first. Just cause someone has talent does not mean they are lip syncing or fake playing and discrediting someone's hard work due to one's own ignorance is not cool.
wow i miss the old you with your beautiful voice, COME BACK PLEASE!
She's awesome! One of a kind voice! Wow. You need to be signed ASAP!
Its lady not baby!
It's a cover and the original is meant to be sang to a girl and she's a girl so she changed some words to make it a cover
She's a girl and not lesbian :D
yeah basiclly hardpliers
Alana Blackman HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF SHE LIKES GIRLS OR NOT hardpliers
I know everything :D
You can't possibly be trying to pass this off as a live recording? You have backing vocals and you have mixed both the uke and vocal tracks, you have obviously used mic's to record both haha. Great cover, but you shouldn't really be trying to fool us like this.
#jealously...be more mindful of other bitch,your probably jealous.
Why are you so SHINY?
+Bella Purry I think its from her fairy-genes
Ah. Now it all makes sense!
Because she in next to the window and in front of the sun
future so bright .....
Bella Purry shes an angel 😇
You should record an album!! You would be a huge hit!!! Youre sooo talented!
This is beautiful.
I wish she hadn't changed 'girls' to 'boys'
riight
JohnTheGospel wtf xD
JohnTheGospel wait why
JohnTheGospel OH WAIT NEVERMIND
JohnTheGospel I know right
Did you mean to say pretty girls??🤔
Stop tripping she's just homophobic
Oh ok makes sense
I was scared of pretty girls* it sounds better!
That is actually the original lyric, but since she is a girl I think she sang boys.
JellieBean23 go listen to Taylor Swift's version :)
Jessica Kaur oh yeah yeah
I disagree
i have never heard anyone's voice as well as this one!! i love it!!
try Jasmine Thomson
i don't usually bother commenting on people's covers but wow - your voice is hauntingly beautiful!! and you're a babe.
Why do I feel like this is fake?
+melonhead34 I sort of do as well.
That's because she recorded it beforehand and edited it the way she likes then now she's lip syncing and mimicking how she sang it when she recorded it. It's not fake because it's still her voice but it's definitely edited in some bits. Especially on 1:45 the autotune was whoops on that part lol.
Nyah "Edited" it.
..
why? what did I say
I thought this was amazing! But just some constructive criticism... I feel like you kinda weren't actually sayin some of the words more like making a noise like them. Maybe form your words more, helps to make the song your own 😊
ugh i hate it when people do covers and substitute the words to fit them. idc if you're a girl and the song makes you sound gay, sing it the way the artist wrote it
I don't see why there is a problem. She can sing it the way she wants and also there is nothing wrong with being gay. If you hate it then you can leave
Rachel Lawal i did leave, i couldn't even finish the song. of course you can sing anything how you want, but is it really a good idea? you didn't write it. dont change the little things bc your not male or it sounds gay now, stfu and sing it how it is written. plus theres a little irony particularly with this song considering a lyric is "i have a lump in my throat cuz your gonna sing the words wrong".
deermary listen, don't go hating on a video of someone who is obviously amazingly talented. I understand constructive criticism but you are just rude. So if you don't like it don't watch it, don't comment mean things. Its not that hard of a concept people.
Laine Sherman i'm rude because changing lyrics to fit you is a selfish thing. gender-fixing lyric changing irks me so much and i think other people should be bothered by it more. i have a opinion and i'd like to share it. trust me, i know the classic "then just dont comment!!!" rule and i follow it almost always, but when a lyric IN THE SONG is "i have a lump in my throat cuz your gonna sing the words wrong" then you should sing the words right! and who said i hated her singing? you clearly misread what i said bc i have no opinion on her singing talent. as for the "then dont watch it!!!" i only watched till the 2nd chorus to know that i dont like the way she changed the song, left a comment on why changing lyrics YOU DIDN'T WRITE to fit you is stupid, and left.
mkay...
I think you have a true talent your voice is beautiful and I could here you sing this song all day!
you seriously have the voice of an angel..oh my gosh wow..
This is fake. You can already tell from when she first starts playing that it was pre-recorded. Plus she auto tuned the shit outta her voice. And look, her strumming doesn't even match up with the audio. Come on, if you're gonna be fake, at least do it well
+NorthWolfAirsoft I think most artists pre-record their songs because the quality is gonna turn out much better lmao
NorthWolfAirsoft bitch
It's not fake your just jealous.smh...
Like every artist uses auto tune get over it! And plus every artist’s song is pre-recorded for a video for example Ariana Grande’s. Literally every artist does this.
just saw you last night in manchester and now found your channel! i’d seen a few of your videos before and i knew i recognised you from somewhere but i couldn’t work out where! you were amazing last night hopefully i’ll see you again at some point!
This is really an amazing cover!! Keep up the good work!!!
hi!!! this is great!!! serious one of the best covers I've heard!
Wow, such an amazing cover! I love your voice so much!
