Wow!

She sings just fine, but her guitar work is pretty basic.

Very cute though.

I love this song and this version is awesome.

Just a wee touch too much of that breathy hipster singing 'technique', but other than that, very nice. Felt very heartfelt.

I'm not sure how this works, but here's an AMAZING "Creep" cover from the sift.

Yeah? Well the chord work for the tune as composed ain't rocket-science on the fretboard there wizzzy. Yeah, yeah, a few folks here have seen you play your guitar including myself and guess what?? Your own skills on the guitar come from rote and practice with very little soul or natural talent....

The showcase here anyhow, is her incredibly sincere and lilting voice and the SOUL that resides within her interpretation.

Soooo, thanks for the egotistical observations there,
MISTER Malmsteen!

....oh, and we agree with Engels on the breathy-hipster thing.....But we dig it anyhow!!

lol.

I don't claim to evaluate the "soul" put into the music, I'm just saying that she doesn't seem particularly exceptional on the guitar. Her form seems awkward to me, but that comes with more experience.

It also seems as a bit of a put-on to have overly echoing vocals, but I suppose that's a matter of taste.

If this was a guy, it wouldn't have 5 votes, not that I'm judgin' on that, I'm just saying musically this isn't fucking mozart, it's just good.

Yup ... she can do it =o)

I hate cover songs and I like this. Upvote.

Is she singing from the bottom of a well?

Downvote for censored version.

Great cover. I like her style.

lol @ fanboy. pump the brakes a little, pal! the performance is good, but the "soul" plays as a bit manufactured. as a cover there is nothing special here - just someone playing a song i've heard many times. i think the word "amazing" is overhyping it, and turning into chris crocker about it would definitely be overkill.

it's good. it's not amazing.

I've really heard enough of this throaty, affected bullshit. I really don't feel any kind of soul showing at all...

omg she turned it into country ...

Pretty good aside from that, although it's a bit unfortunate she chose one of Radiohead's worst and overplayed songs. So much better stuff from their old days.

Here's a more impressive amateur rendition of Radiohead IMO:

Nice cover and a beautiful voice, but TBH the mix kills it for me.
That "breathy hipster singing"? Yeah, wouldn't be so tiring if the guy behind the mixer didn't rub our noses..erm, ears in it so much.

Meh. She was good, don't get me wrong, but as Hunter points out... it's hard to screw this song up!
This is my favorite cover of Creep. (audio wise, not sure what I think of the video)

I'm going to go ahead and agree. It just goes to show how far reasonable production quality can go towards making mediocre performers appear "amazing."
