Grease is how i know/remember Oliva Newton-John. The original song in the film...

Lets give it another spin. Maybe we can get a few more sift views. Five views first time around with four votes. Good ratio, poor overall performance. We can do better! *promote

Also if anyones interested in the original song...

Watch the movie. It is an original song that was written for the Eurovision movie. You can see Dadi die a little bit at the end of the video, bless him for living the meme. Ja ja ding dong! Also stuck on repeat.

Love the [original] song, btw.

If you didn't know, this was the placeholder theme song to Friends and what the actual Friends theme song was based on.

Keeping that in mind, when you listen to it, you can probably tell it was written as a sound-alike.

Original song from Secret Agent TV show.

Can't wait till he starts making music on it.

His original song and Marble Machine was amazing

TBF, that's an accurate description of the original song

I didn't really hear it either, but the piano words worked really well.

The original song

Lol....I tried to do a youtubemashup of the dolphins with the original song by Ludachris playing, but those embeds don't work as video submissions.

That was impressive.
I don't know the original song but that was a brand new experience.

I was blown away with how he kept all the other sounds going in the corners.

I fully agree. It's a good rendition and does the original song justice but the voice is just too autotuned for my tastes. And the whole arrangement is too... pretty. There's no 'live' feeling to it. It's just his voice and a bunch of perfect instrumentals. Like he's singing to a midi track or something.

Edit: part of what bugs me about autotuning voices is that they're actually tuned to the wrong notes, ie. equal temperament instead of the just temperament a good singer sings naturally. There's the whole bit about voice ability but if they just tuned it to the right notes I'd be happy... or at least happier...

I love covers, especially when they present a entirely different take on the original song (off the top of my head, say, Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal). This one was very good, but I'd go for it even more if it had a bit more of a "Disturbed" take on it -- almost *too* faithful to the original. But that is a minor nit to pick...

Thanks for the sift!


*edit* -- Not to take anything away from the original, which I agree is a fantastic song. I think that a good cover can actually enhance appreciation for the original song, too.

Killer on the road indeed. I love the original song and like Snoop's rendition as well, great stuff!

She's quite good.

It's essentially a popular music competition. Opera does not fall into that category anymore. An entirely unfortunate turn of events really. So no surprise that the other two don't think they can do anything with her.

The original movie version was sung without digital alteration, but the on screen actress was miming.

The original song, Il dolce suono, from the opera Lucia di Lammermoor, is much nicer without the pop ending from the movie.
