@@hecc it's true. marina is a versatile queen! she can do indie pop (most of her songs), bubblegum pop ("hollywood"), baroque pop ("i am not a robot", "obsessions"), art rock ("mowgli's road"), progressive rock ("philosopher my arse", "this is la", "like china dolls", "troubled mind"), pop-rock ("are you satisfied?", "bubblegum bitch"), dance-rock ("oh no!"), rave ("space and the woods"), electro house ("primadonna", "lies"), operatic pop ("what you waiting for"), disco ("shampain"), funk ("froot"), synth-wave (99% of the froot album), lo-fi/outsider music (the mermaid vs. sailor e.p.), folk (the demo of "girls", "seventeen", "simplify"), ballad music ("buy the stars", "happy"), tropical music ("orange trees", "karma"), latin pop ("baby"), eurodance ("radioactive"), bubblegum punk ("girls"), cabaret ("hermit the frog"), screamo (that bit in "the outsider" where she screams "I'M A FUCKING WILLLLDCARD!!!" at the top of her lungs), ambient pop ("rootless", "teen idle", "the state of dreaming"), chillwave ("gold"), country ("hypocrates" - okay this one is a little bit of a stretch but the bridge with the guitars has country undertones which is probabaly why so many diamonds hate the song) and even rap (certain parts of "homewrecker"). is there anything our queen can't do?
i love how she captured the crazy vocals gwen had in it originally, i love when marina goes crazy and wild with her voice, that's why the family jewels will always be my favorite album by her. in froot and electra heart she didn't keep the same edgy personality and i wish she would still do stuff like this
Holy shit, I didn't realize this was a cover. Went to listen to the Gwen Stefani version and wow her vocals are actually similar to some of the stuff Marina does, it's like it was made for her to cover lol. So cool
She's singing this like it really meant something to her when she heard it. And if you know her story, then it makes sense. In short, either you get it or you don't. I feel like a lot of Marina's songs are just like that: you either get it or you don't.
@@threemanband Yes. I clearly said "She's singing it like it really meant something to her when she heard it." As a Gwen fan, it meant a lot to me when I first heard it too.
i really couldn't decide if i like this cover or the original better, they both go such a completely different way, that I find it difficult to compare them.
I love the grisle in the tone of her voice when she goes into her lower register!! and the heavenly head voice she has is amazing! and I love the way she pronounces some words aswell. I love her voice ❤
I love the emotion she puts into this, you feel exactly what is being conveyed by the song. Her covers are the best IMO. She takes a song strips off the catchy dance music, makes you really hear and feel the song.
I love how her voice is all high and delicate at the beginning, and then its gets so intense and grating and powerful. Marina is amazing, and her covers always beat the originals hands down.
What an amazing time What a family How did the years go by? Now it's only me Tick tock Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car Scary conversations Shut my eyes, can't find the brake What if they say that you're a cloner? Naturally I'm worried if I do it alone Who really cares 'cause it's your life You never know, it could be great Take a chance 'cause you might grow Oh oh oh What you waiting What you waiting for? What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for? Tick tock Take a chance, you stupid ho Like a new cut pattern, you're repeating yourself You know it all by heart Why are you standing in one place? Born to blossom, bloom to perish You know you're only known 'Cause of your sex chromosome I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure) Life is short, you're capable (uh huh) Oh oh oh Look at your watch now You're still a super hot female! You got your million dollar contract And they're all waiting for your hot track What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for? What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for? I can't wait to go Back into Japan Get me lots of brand new fans Osaka, Tokyo You Harajuku girls Damn, you've got some wicked style Go! Look at your watch now You're still a super hot female You got your million dollar contract And they're all waiting for your hot track What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for? What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for? What you waiting for? What you waiting for? Take a chance, you stupid ho Take a chance, you stupid ho What you waiting for? What you waiting for? Take a chance, you stupid ho
She puts more story into this song then Gwen, it starts off soft and light, as if someone is telling them kindly to take a chance because they might grow, but as the song goes on he voices start getting more angry and menacing sounding like there are people telling her "take a chance you stupid hoe" and "take a chance your capable". Maybe I am reading to much into it but it seems like how as a child your encouraged to take a chance and learn, but when you grow you are told what to do by someone of more authority then you which would make the voice sound more demanding and menacing as you get older.
I didn’t really get this song the first 1000 times I heard it until I hear Marina sing it, and now that I’m a bit a older, I really get it. Most of the lyrics aren’t her words or thoughts, it’s other people’s comments and opinions and “advice” to her. Except the bridge. That still means nothing to me lol. I know the harijuku girls were Gwen’s little project she referenced a lot, but that’s about it
I was a big fan of Gwen Stefani when this album came out back in 2007 I think. I recently became a huge Marina fan over the past ~4 months. Needless to say, I've never been so happy
Wow, I love Gwen Stefani but.....this is brilliant! Her voice! She sounds like a mad woman. XD She reminded me of Kate Bush at first. I love what she's done with the song, the way she sings it, it sounds like she wrote it!
She makes mainstream music in an amazing way, in my opinion. Like, she's very mainstream but in the same time she's fucking unique at it, that's how I see her, and that's why I think she's the most amazing artist we have right now. Ya see my point?
I much prefer Gwen's version, but that's not a knock against Marina and the Diamonds. It's a great song and this cover does justice in its own style. Nice to know this version exists too.
She was born to sing this song
I think Gwen Stefani was first
she was born to sing any song.

Maybe it's because you've never heard the original version

She kinda has a Broadway Disney villain sound to her, its awesome.
That is actually accurate af :o
Ursula!
I sometimes think about a musical with Marina, Kristen Bell, Kristen Chenoweth, and Ariana Grande in it. Only a dream but it would be amazing
YAS! Born to be hated. True Villainess. Perfect.
marina takes a song and gives it her touch which makes it so special and gives me life
Melinda Diamonds yeah I didn't see anything in the original and in this I see so muchhh.
She's singing this like it really meant something to her when she heard it.
And if you know her story, then it makes sense.
In short, either you get it or you don't. I feel like a lot of Marina's songs are just like that: you either get it or you don't.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW SHE DID A COVER OF ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS??
"wachuwerin wachuwerin wachuwerin wachuwerin for"
hey there's my name
faqnhell hey there lovely
This one has its own appeal, really...reminds me of those Tim Burton kind of heroines.
i really couldn't decide if i like this cover or the original better, they both go such a completely different way, that I find it difficult to compare them.
it's like two different songs

UGH the harajuku girls line!! her growls are everything to me
Marina singing one of my favorite songs by one of my other queens.....gods this is great. life just got way better.
Off topic from the marina stuff I want to be with you, I just can't. Not yet. I just need to trust you again however long it takes
SkyClone go away and stop youtube stalking me.
+Belle Chapman eh
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THIS EXISTED...ONE OF MY FAVES COVERING MY OTHER FAVE'S SONG YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS
WHAAAAA i just discovered it now !!
love her smoky, kind of raspy voice here🖤🖤🖤
OMG she sounds so crazy and I love it!! FOREVER A DIAMOND
I love how her voice is all high and delicate at the beginning, and then its gets so intense and grating and powerful. Marina is amazing, and her covers always beat the originals hands down.
Amazing, she makes it different and sound something more than it should. Forever a diamond.
I love how she can almost re-invent any song she sings. This is fantastic!
this will never ever get old
fr
This song really grew on me. At first I thought it was really strange but now I love it
When I first heard the original, I thought the chorus could be sung by Marina & The Diamonds. This song was made for her. Addictive af.
the hard Rock side of the intelligent, kind, soft, deep queen ♡ i love her she has too much talent
Took my breath away!!! Marina's range is astounding. You have to hear everything she created to really understand her 🙏
This song is so relatable for me, that’s why The Family Jewels is my favorite album. Because I can relate with it the most
this is a cover of gwen stefani's song
yesss it has family jewels vibe 💎
Everytime she does a cover of a song it's just better than the original..... That woman blows my mind...
It’s not better than the original 💀 this cover is amazing but not better
@@ethantordeur4592 lol. its so fucking better
@@ethantordeur4592 nah it's definitely better
@@chase5740 no honey ur just tasteless

this would of fit PERFECTLY in TFJ!!

How did the years go by?
Now it's only me
Tick tock
Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car
Scary conversations
Shut my eyes, can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a cloner?
Naturally I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares 'cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance 'cause you might grow
Oh oh oh

You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place?
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
You know you're only known
'Cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable (uh huh)

when she said harajuku girls i screamed
I really love the original song, but I think I like this cover version more.. 🤔❤️

She could sing any genre and be a queen at
THIS IS BEYOND PERF, SHE'S PERF
For me, her accent and her weirdness make's this interpretation so truly fabulous.
I also love how easily she can change her tone of voice so quickly.
I can hear this being inspiration for mowglis road
Take a chance cause you might grow. Take a chance you are capable.
Philosophy.
I didn’t really get this song the first 1000 times I heard it until I hear Marina sing it, and now that I’m a bit a older, I really get it. Most of the lyrics aren’t her words or thoughts, it’s other people’s comments and opinions and “advice” to her.

she's so passionate when she sings that's what makes listening to her so amazing
She is so perfect! Thats amazing! I love her!
Edit: Nothing has changed after ten years.
Nothing screams "Don't Hug Me!" like those shoulder pads.
i’d still hug her. i want my eye to be poked out.
I was a big fan of Gwen Stefani when this album came out back in 2007 I think. I recently became a huge Marina fan over the past ~4 months. Needless to say, I've never been so happy
This is absolutely amazing. I love how she is creative with all her covers.
Wow, I love Gwen Stefani but.....this is brilliant! Her voice! She sounds like a mad woman. XD She reminded me of Kate Bush at first. I love what she's done with the song, the way she sings it, it sounds like she wrote it!
majorrrr kate bush influences here i LOVEE ITTTT
I love this version.
She is so amazing, I can't explain how much I love her.
Loveeeeee It!!
I FELL IN LOVE WIT THIS OMFG
I love this raspy voice, she should sing like this in one of her new songs :)
Same with her Space and the Woods cover, it sounds amazing
I am speechless. People sometimes forget that she is an amazing vocalist. And lyricist. And it's not fucking fair.
Marina's voice fills me with the most delightful envy
this is gold ily marina
I think the best part is that Marina would write a song like this so it doesn't even sound like a cover sometimes.
She makes mainstream music in an amazing way, in my opinion. Like, she's very mainstream but in the same time she's fucking unique at it, that's how I see her, and that's why I think she's the most amazing artist we have right now. Ya see my point?
PERFECTION! MARINA MAKES THIS SONG 100x BETTER. I love the original but she makes it even better!
LOL if there is anything I've learned about this lady, it's that she is just amazing no matter what she does :D
How I wish she still performed this live
I love this, it's got a theatrical feel to it
interesting take of the song, I like it.
Definitely check out the live version of her singing this- it's amAZing!
She even has a tambourine lmao
Love this song
Fav part Look at your watch now! You're still a super hot feeemale
Mightyena Wildclaws sAME
The way she sings the bridge kills me!!! 😍
HOLY ISH! I loved this song forever ago, and now my favorite singer sings it... WOAH
Lol, this is better than the origional, she makes it sound more like it should :D
This Cover gives me LIFE. 😍👌🏽👏
Take a chance you're capable 😗
Holy shit! This is one of my favourite songs, sung by one of my favourite artists! Thanks!
This seems like the original idea of Mowgli's Road, wow I didn't discovered this until now xD
So good!!
this is fucking amazing!! i love both gwen and marina and this is the perfect combination of gwens song and marinas voice
I much prefer Gwen's version, but that's not a knock against Marina and the Diamonds. It's a great song and this cover does justice in its own style. Nice to know this version exists too.
I found this cover more than a year ago and I still could listen to it everyday.
i love this song, glad she covered it
Beautiful and amazing!
Both the song and Marina!
I love how she makes this version so so so different 3
I can literally listen to this all day
Every cover she does turns a song into something amazing and addictive
Every time I listen to this I become super confident and happy, Thank you Marina❤️❤️❤️
Literally makes me cry and laugh…
Great Voice, Nice Cover!
this is amazing... I luv marina
this is actually flawless
her voice is perfect!!
She is singing it like it's the end of the world and this is the last thing she is doing before everything is destroyed...
i know! i didnt even know about all these songs until now! now i am even more in love with her!!!
you've got your million dollar contract,and they're all waiting for your heart track
I AM CRYING THIS IS PERFECT
this is officially my find of the month!
OMG OMG OMG
It's like my two favourite things ever.
I personally like this version better. I think her accent brings out the lyrics more. Really putting more depth into it
It sounds like she's mocking society or whoever says this
***** like ur any better smh
***** ohhhh im so sorry!! ahhh ty my guy
and same i mock myself a lot too
yuurisviktor You know she didn’t write it right
Marina is incredible live
Reminds me of the way gwen sings it live. Gwens live version sounded NOTHING like the studio one
This is just perfect! Wait, is a cover!?
Yes. The original sounds soooo different.
from your opinion which is better?
Well i grew up with the orginal because of my mother, this is the first time i listen this cover of Marina but idk i like both.
Who sing the original?
Gwen Stefani
perfection at its best
Daaaaamnn i really cant decide which i like more~Gwen or Marina :3
NAILED IT.
This is good virsion of this song. I fell in love with the virsion.
I am a diamond, this is magical
