That works surprisingly well... now if we could only get AC/DC's stuff on iTunes, the world would be complete.


This is one of the few mashups I've heard that I feel actually creates an original work of art out of the source materials.

We should just be happy she isn't covering Rebecca Black.


See that's my point.

Someone forgot to tell her that if you want to go viral and surprise people with your unassuming youthful talent you're supposed to do these videos live, standing in your kitchen, not lip-syncing to a pre-record, spotlit in a smoky studio.

[Edit] Lip syncing to a pre-record? I guess you missed the guy behind her playing the guitar? Perhaps you should look up the definition of lip syncing my friend. This is not it.


I take the point (but I don't see the relevance of the guitar behind her).
I was going by her proximity to the microphone (too much low end in the signal, unless whe was using an omni, which you certainly wouldn't want to use on a live video shoot in that environment with people moving around etc.*)

Note also that the info on this video says "The audio for this video was recorded live on the ice at the Centennial Sports Plex in Nashville, TN." whereas some of her others are at pains to say: "the audio for this cover was recorded LIVE with the video, in one take, with no pitch correction applied!" or "The audio and video for this recording were recorded simultaneously live with no studio overdubs or autotune." - Which to me also suggests a disconnect of audio and video (even if they we're both done in the same place!).

That said - it's actually irrelevant if it was recorded live or not. The point remains the same: I think a more raw lo-fi recording / video would create more interest rather than the relatively high / polished production values.

Thanks, Lucky!

I've watched 3 videos from her now. I'm blown away.
There is something lacking in her delivery... punctuation, syncopation, inflection, rhythm..? I'm not a musician, so I don't know how to explain it.
Regardless, that voice is incredible! She's practically an infant, and I actually might pay money to hear her sing. I can't help but thinking that in another 5 years she will be one of the best vocalists out there... that is if Disney doesn't get a'hold of her.


She lacks the journey. Give her time and she may become a great. I agree with what your saying, but that is what is missing: the true understanding and emotion.

this one is better: someone like you

I generally am not a fan of official videos, but in this case I prefer it to the live performances I've seen so far. The meaning behind the visuals is largely opaque to me, but it absolutely nails the tone of the song.

OMG! Did I forget to upvote it? I'll take care of that right now.

Sheesh, it sucks getting old. (Beats the alternative though)

Got to agree with Deano... Definitely not my kind of music (and the Sift is probably the only way I'd have ever heard her), but she's one hell of a singer.

I may have to add a small branch to my musical tastes again, just for her.

Any chance you could vote for it? It's still struggling
