The actual story behind this song makes this song more amazing. There was a beautiful, popular girl he had a crush on in high school that didn't know he existed. Many years later he's famous, he's playing a show, that girl shows up to see HIS show. Even though she was there to see him he was terrified from the moment he saw her and was still too terrified to speak to her, he still felt like a creep, like a weirdo. The girl never knew about the crush and likely still doesn't.
@@XxSleepyEnzoxX it is & at one concert he was performing she was there & it turned out she was a Radiohead fan, henceforth afterwards he never played the track "Creep" live again.
Prince covered this song live, and an audience member filmed it and posted it to TH-cam. Prince filed a copyright claim to have it taken down, but Radiohead singer Thom Yorke pointed out he owned the copyright and said the video should be allowed.
That is way cool, as Prince was an amazing talent, but he had some rather peculiar ways of seeing the world, and some were good and others not so much.
@@jbird4478 this may be correct for the covering artist's own recordings (say, if Prince had done it in the studio or arranged the recording of his live performance), but I'm not sure it applies if an audience member records a live performance which isn't being "officially" recorded. I may be wrong though...
@@yutehube4468 I'm well aware of the lawsuit but 99% of the time it's not deliberate or they just would have changed it a little bit to avoid the whole thing. The songs don't even sound alike except one chord progression in the chorus. If you look long enough you will find the Hollies lifted it from someone else, rock music is full of bands lifting things from each other but most of the time they don't bother with lawsuits because they're well aware that they do it as well.
Thom was mercilessly bullied in high school. He's a tiny guy that had a serious issue with one eye that required many surgeries. Who doesn't dream of "the hot girl/guy" in high school? This is a song about someone who knows it's completely unachievable. Amazing song!
@@aroemaliuged4776 If that is a reply to me it makes zero sense! I said Thom was bullied and you say I'm wrong because Thom was bullied. Help me out here. 🤷♂️
@@dan.j.boydzkreationz It never happened to me but I witnessed those things in school, often stepping in. It's awful that those things happened to you and I hope you're doing OK.
Hello, okay, I'm sorry, I don't speak English. But I'm using a translator here, I hope you understand what I'm saying. U2 is a wonderful band and this song Electrical Storm is my favorite song, I hope Aileen reacts to this wonderful song, thanks for the comment friend.
Nah, man, let's just use technology to artificially make everyone sound (technically) perfect and hit every note on pitch every time, resulting in homogenous music scene where every voice sounds the same, that's a great idea!
Hi Aileen 😊 Getting a late start to commenting on this incredible reaction of yours to Radiohead's Creep 😊👍 I have read all the comments and I have to agree that first, this takes me back to my high school years in 1973 and second that you are special 😊 Those awkward years of being a teenager and having crushes and knowing that that will never happen. So I can see that when Radiohead came out with this song, I am not surprised that it became an anthem for teenage self- deprecation. I know you get especially excited when the performance is live because as you say perfectly imperfect which makes the performance that much better. And so it is as you immersed yourself into the performance, feeling all of the emotions and receiving understanding making your reaction real. The messages in the comments reflect that and why we love you so much. All the recommendations are excellent and I look forward to your reactions 😊 Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍
I remember when this in the MTV "Buzz Bin" (which was how MTV intro'd new, up-and-coming bands back when MTV actually played music videos.) This was the song that intro'd Radiohead to the World, and they are one of the only surviving bands from that class of '93 alongside Tool. So many great bands from that era--Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, etc.--have gone by the wayside or lost key members, but Tool and Radiohead have endured.
Aileen, never apologize for backing up and relistening to a part of a song, on any of your reactions. I love it when someone enjoys a song or performance so much that they want to hear parts of it again. Love your reactions. Just keep doing what you're doing and keep exploring great music. ❤
I love this song, I relate to this so much, it's like a biography to my life. To use a quote from Thom Yorke "There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us."
@@marcmurray8141 yep, western average/bottom 80% males anthem. No matter the western nations troubles vs other civilisations number of immigrants refugees, and invaders hostile to it, the centuries old romantic chivalric culture of males disposable value and our masculine nature to self sacrifice for “something greater”.. wouldn’t matter in the end outnumbers tens of billions no other civilisation/s will ever be able to dominate/conquer. Even ignoring nuclear technology.. damn that Middle Ages promiscuous Queen who started the programming of western civilisation for romantic chivalry culture mixed with admixture’s of hunter gatherers/Anatolian farmers/yamanar genetics sure produced the people responsible 99.9% for dragging humanity into modernity. West has to stop emoting/listening to the gender evolved to be agents of CHAOS, DARKNESS & DEGENERACY ie named yin/The DESTROYER before our internal conflict in our empire of feminine lies not only destroys our civilisation but causing all human extinction ..
That stillness of Thom at the beginning, first verse, the crowds jumping but he's still, immersed... Kinda in pain. It's this weird thing when you're an artist, you eviscerate yourself for the audience, you put all your ugly pain on display, you k*ll yourself... and everyone claps. And dances. Over your grave, over your corpse... It's always struck me as strange. Amazing performance.
I 1000% agree that I love perfectly, imperfect performances, where you can tell the musicians are really FEELING what they are singing. Technical proficiency is great, but I'll take passion and connecting to what they are singing any day of the week.
I was made to feel this way by someone and I dedicate this song to them. This is a song that has meaning to me and that long note is a release of that emotion.
One of the many that I love rock/ metal is that is "perfectly imperfect" as you said! It doesn't need to have crazy notes to be perfect, it just need to make people feel emotions, good or bad.
The moment I first heard this song I really connected with it and it became the anthem of my late childhood and youth! Best song ever for hardcore depression phases and even now, without depression, it still is one of the best songs ever made! And I am not even speaking of the epic musical composition and execution... And as if the song in this fantastic live version and the brought back memories weren't enough: at 4:12 both of my cats randomly decided to crawl upon me and demand hardcore cuddels... right in the feels...
Hi Aileen, wonderful reaction and beautiful song. The music has the power To be able to read our feelings, emotions, has a power over us, which is extraordinary, singers know what it means especially when they use the tended on a verse, and remind us that we are human ❤
I've seen this live performance one time before on another channel and wow the range Thom Yorke gets two at the end is incredible he must have some insane breath control to do that this has always been my favorite Radiohead song I hear this one on the radio from time to time but I haven't heard a lot of there other music
I sang this at a bar once am not a good singer but seeing this song I could feel the emotions thank you for this reaction this song I can listen to it all day and never get tried of listing to it.
last xmas my youngest daughter said that she suffered with terrible social anxiety and she was suprised when my other 4 grown children and myself and my husband said so do we because unless you are truly selfish or self centred/self absorbed who doesnt .songs like this help you to understand you are not alone and to talk about these feelings openly
I've been privileged enough to see Radiohead live twice in my life, once while they were touring In Rainbows and once for A Moon Shaped Pool. I first saw them in 2008 playing a stadium in Vancouver and then again at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, both of which were pretty transcendent experiences tbh. And while I didn't get to see them play Creep, as they rarely do live, they did play My Iron Lung which is at least a nod to it lol. I really hope you continue on and do more Radiohead reactions tho!
A lot of cover versions of this song out there. One of my favorites is by Postmodern Jukebox featuring Haley Reinhart - and it is a virtuoso singing performance. Not going to spoil anymore on that other than it is an extremely popular song for reactors.
I remember listening to Radiohead on Mtv and listening to their early albums. I havent heard them in years until I started to watch the brilliant "One day" series on Netflix which is the most heart wrenching Love story that id recommend to anyone and is worthy of a reaction video in itself. Anyway one of the songs from the soundtrack is "thinking about you" by Radiohead. i was blown away by the memories and have started ti listen to Pablo Honey ( my favorite) and The bends again after all these years. They are simply superb i was never into their later albums but may give them another try they come to great acclaim.
You kind of have to mature a bit for some of their later stuff but when it clicks for you it's mind blowing. Try the songs Nude and Reckoner live from the basement both incredible songs especially live Thom can really sing when he stands still long enough.
One of the great things about music is its power to move the human spirit. One of the great things about watching your reactions to it is how you allow us past the surface to see its power over yours. Thank you once again for your generosity.💖💖💖
I have been catching up on alot of your first time reaction videos of so many.. this month and last month.... loved the video most of all... Five finger death punch.. wrong side of heaven, as I can relate as 100% disabled veteran. You said you love variety of music and would love to see your reaction to a group I don't think you have reacted to yet. I just seen them in concert for the first time on Aug 2nd and was in awwww.. they have been around and have been underrated ... they are sooo good... please when you can get the chance to react to them the group is: The Funeral Portrait. The 2 songs I love most are: Voodoo Doll & Suffocate City. I look forward to watching more of your first reaction videos.
How many of us were that person that felt they didn't belong, they weren't noticed, they weren't wanted around and were the "weirdo?" The emotion, pain and suffering really pours out of him and hits home to many of us whether growing up or now as adults. Brilliant, timeless song with no shelf life. Also, Aileen, i love your emotions and empathy in so many of your reactions. Thank you!
I saw Radiohead in 2000 for the Kid A tour. I believe they only did (2) US shows for that tour... LA & NYC. At this point, I believe he was over this song or at least being the song that they "had" to perform live. Anyways, the band played the song while he just stood in front of the mic. He didn't sing a note of "Creep". It was a cool take on the whole situation. Great concert too.
This is the best live version of this song. Creep is a banger. When Thom wails out, RUnNNnnnnnnnn, it gets me every time. Thom really emotes with his voice. His voice is a whole instrument in every song. I see them live, and his voice is better live than recorded it is like a sunset. A picture can't capture the real magnificence of it. You can only really experience it live.
Very powerful and emotional performance!!! I am so happy you reacted to this amazing song. I definitely recommend other songs Just, Street Spirit and the entire album of OK Computer - definitely an experience. Much love my beautiful Aileen. 🌹🌹🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😊
Wonderful Reaction to an ICONIC SONG ... I get great pleasure in watching peoples reactions to Thom's Insane 12 seconds Belt..an then follows it up with an AMAZING 16 second Belt and it does sound amazing..TY for this
Ok, so i grew up with this band .. Literally.!!! 1990 Oxford, England, UK.!! Many great bands came out of Oxford during the 90s.. Radio Head.. Super grass... Even some weird band called Mantis.!!! Of which i was the bass player.!!!! Well, when i wasn't at the weekend traveller's rave somewhere in a field near Oxford.!! Oh those were the days,the good old dayz.!!! Check out Supergrass. Another well good and famous band rhat actually did some good in the US.. Great reaction. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲🏴🇬🇧👍👍👍😁👍👍
this was my only childhood song i ever listened to when i first listen to Rock what a powerful response to those who were bullied in school their entire lives and this song comes out and helps us out in times of need thank u Radiohead for helping me get thru all of school.
Fantastic performance, despite the cold weather. Singing about insecurity, while bravely soldiering on through the weather, to a point he even holds and corrects notes he went off key in. Do the thing. The show much go on. Completely vulnerable while also being completely a pro. Brilliant.
Thom has definitely proven he can hit notes perfectly. You can find live recordings where his technical precision will blow you away. But to use painting as a metaphor, often a loose brushstroke is much more powerful than a tight one. And dancing around the note can be more interesting than hitting it. And when he does hit it, it's that much stronger.
There's a cover version of that song performed in the German version of The Voice Kids by Mimi & Josefin which is one of the most awesome performances I've ever seen.
Pyramid Song Street Spirit Fake Plastic Trees No surprises Jigsaw Falling Into Place Been a huge fan since the bends album back in 95 Hope you decide to continue down the rabbit hole.
Is one of the few songs I can connect too and perform. That long Run is really cathartic when you mean it. Straight into the broken sound of the ending yeah it can move ppl.
This song was the anthem for the rejected and invisible people of the '90s. It's a timeless song, there will always be unrequited love and this song expresses it beautifully. This performance is one of the best ever as well. Also, everything about this song is imperfect, which is exactly what makes it perfect. It exactly mirrors the emotion of the song.
I was a sophomore in high school when this song hit and it was a hard hit. You can hear the pain in Thom’s voice when he sings it. I can remember one day in college I was blaring this in my dorm room so loud the RA chewed my ass. Thom had severe social anxiety so it took him a while to get passed it.
relistening to these songs from my childhood as a man born in 1977 i just love to smoke one up and throw my lighters up!!! Thank you for giving this music another life it deserves :)
Lovin' your channel! So much passion for quality music and well defined reactions to the songs. You just made me listen to this song all day long haha..keep up the good work! Thank you!
If you ever get the chance to be in the audience and see this performed live, it's a pretty amazing, possibly religious, experience. Their shows are fantastic but this song just hits big for the entire audience and Thom is absolutely in my top ten favorite rock singers of all time.
I am a long time Radiohead fan. But Radiohead is far beyond and greater than “Creep”. Actually, their other songs deserves much more credit such as “Street Spirit”, “How to disappear completely”, “Paranoid Android”, “Weird Fishes” and much more… hope you will continue with your Radiohead reaction journey🎉❤ looking forward
They do a live version of their song, Fade Out (Street Spirit) which I just know you'll love. If you search "street spirit live", it'll be the 3rd or 4th down. He looks very young and has blondish hair in the image for the video.. It is such a haunting song, and in my opinion, it's one of the best live vocal performances I've ever heard. You will no doubt feel the same emotion I do
♥ Dear Aileen, I looooove you so much for picking such timeless classics over and over again, crossind the lines of all genres, I whitnessed your pure emotions when you react to Rage, Rammstein, Pink Floyd, Readiohead here, and many other Classic Beauties, so good that you re here, keep on rocking my beauty, all the best to you!
Radiohead has quite a few “rockumentaries”I guess. From live shows, arenas, too the creative process in and outside the studio. (Meeting People is Easy) -1998, I think is listed in the top 50 rockumentaries. The bts of making “In Rainbows”, I particularly liked.
What I love the most is how much people really appreciate good music. I just turned 60 and I had been so sad to miss out on the 60s scene but I'm so excited to see all these bands in concert. As they started out as opening bands to being headliners. Then come back full circle. I don't like all the gimmicks. Just give me the music. I think your adorable.
"Weird Fishes" Live From the Basement. No better next step (and you will love if you take the steps) Radiohead to check out. Awesome reaction!! Best band of last 30 years - 5 of 9 albums been on Rolling Stone top 500 - so they have huge range of music to dive into. This one is your formal Intro to Thom Yorke, one of the all-time great front person and writer in rock history, but also a voice like none other. Peace/
The song Creep came out at the same exact time as the Stone Temple Pilots Creep. This one came first, and STP kept theirs back off MTV until this version wore off a bit. I love both bands versions of Creep. Funny enough Nirvana has a song off the record Bleach, called Negative Creep, which is a few years older than both Creep songs. Kurt was kinda ahead of them all…check it out.
I really love your reaction. It`s the sound i had the oy to grew up it`s my generation. and there`s so mny more that inspired and touched me in this times, Cranberries `Zombie`or Òde to my amily`, Queen `Bohemian Rhapsody` or `Sombody to love`, Kylie Minou & Nick Cave with the Bad Seeds `Wid roses`, even Falco with his iconic song èannie`, ot Shinead o Connor `withe the Song o Prince `Nothing compares to you`...there`s so many other Musicians rom that time we should never forget
3:54 emotion = vocal whammy bar. Making best use of it can turn a person with good but imperfect tone into an astounding singer. 6:50 Your show, Senpai. Here for it.
The actual story behind this song makes this song more amazing. There was a beautiful, popular girl he had a crush on in high school that didn't know he existed. Many years later he's famous, he's playing a show, that girl shows up to see HIS show. Even though she was there to see him he was terrified from the moment he saw her and was still too terrified to speak to her, he still felt like a creep, like a weirdo.

Funny thing about Radiohead is that their music gets better with time ❤

If you want more Radiohead, I recommend the songs “Paranoid Android” and “Karma Police” from their “OK Computer” album
Karma police live at Lollapalooza is magical
"High and Dry" and "The National Anthem" also worth a listen. "Fake Plastic Trees" is my top tune from these guys.
How to disappear completely too

I just seen them in concert for the first time on Aug 2nd and was in awwww.. they have been around and have been underrated ... they are sooo good... please when you can get the chance to react to them the group is: The Funeral Portrait. The 2 songs I love most are: Voodoo Doll & Suffocate City. I look forward to watching more of your first reaction videos.
How many of us were that person that felt they didn't belong, they weren't noticed, they weren't wanted around and were the "weirdo?" The emotion, pain and suffering really pours out of him and hits home to many of us whether growing up or now as adults. Brilliant, timeless song with no shelf life.
Also, Aileen, i love your emotions and empathy in so many of your reactions. Thank you!
I saw Radiohead in 2000 for the Kid A tour. I believe they only did (2) US shows for that tour... LA & NYC. At this point, I believe he was over this song or at least being the song that they "had" to perform live. Anyways, the band played the song while he just stood in front of the mic. He didn't sing a note of "Creep".
It was a cool take on the whole situation. Great concert too.
I love the emotional response. So appropriate for this song. Great reaction!
This is the best live version of this song. Creep is a banger. When Thom wails out, RUnNNnnnnnnnn, it gets me every time. Thom really emotes with his voice. His voice is a whole instrument in every song. I see them live, and his voice is better live than recorded it is like a sunset. A picture can't capture the real magnificence of it. You can only really experience it live.
Very powerful and emotional performance!!! I am so happy you reacted to this amazing song. I definitely recommend other songs Just, Street Spirit and the entire album of OK Computer - definitely an experience. Much love my beautiful Aileen. 🌹🌹🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😊
One of my favourite performances, raw emotion thanks for a great reaction again ❤
I've always luved Raidoheads song "Creep". Such a great song!😢
Wonderful Reaction to an ICONIC SONG ... I get great pleasure in watching peoples reactions to Thom's Insane 12 seconds Belt..an then follows it up with an AMAZING 16 second Belt and it does sound amazing..TY for this
What a raw and real reaction! Love it ❤
You should definitely check out Paulina from the warning doing her cover is for a piano and a cell phone. It is amazing and a whole different feel!
Ok, so i grew up with this band .. Literally.!!!
1990 Oxford, England, UK.!!
Many great bands came out of Oxford during the 90s..
Radio Head..
Super grass...
Even some weird band called Mantis.!!! Of which i was the bass player.!!!! Well, when i wasn't at the weekend traveller's rave somewhere in a field near Oxford.!!
Oh those were the days,the good old dayz.!!!
Check out Supergrass. Another well good and famous band rhat actually did some good in the US..
Great reaction. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲🏴🇬🇧👍👍👍😁👍👍
this was my only childhood song i ever listened to when i first listen to Rock what a powerful response to those who were bullied in school their entire lives and this song comes out and helps us out in times of need thank u Radiohead for helping me get thru all of school.
Their whole catalogue is wonderfully amazing.
Its a pure classic
Fantastic performance, despite the cold weather. Singing about insecurity, while bravely soldiering on through the weather, to a point he even holds and corrects notes he went off key in. Do the thing. The show much go on. Completely vulnerable while also being completely a pro. Brilliant.
Thom has definitely proven he can hit notes perfectly. You can find live recordings where his technical precision will blow you away. But to use painting as a metaphor, often a loose brushstroke is much more powerful than a tight one. And dancing around the note can be more interesting than hitting it. And when he does hit it, it's that much stronger.
There's a cover version of that song performed in the German version of The Voice Kids by Mimi & Josefin which is one of the most awesome performances I've ever seen.
I am 60 but I am crying every time I listen to this performance ❤!
Pyramid Song
Street Spirit
Fake Plastic Trees
No surprises
Jigsaw Falling Into Place
Been a huge fan since the bends album back in 95 Hope you decide to continue down the rabbit hole.
Also nude, reckoner and all I need for vocals...
Is one of the few songs I can connect too and perform. That long Run is really cathartic when you mean it. Straight into the broken sound of the ending yeah it can move ppl.
I felt I was the only one feeling this way in high school, until I heard this song, thank you Radiohead, and AileenSenpai for sending this out . . .
i love her facial expression while watching the video likee she really feelin' it solid fan here!
This song was the anthem for the rejected and invisible people of the '90s. It's a timeless song, there will always be unrequited love and this song expresses it beautifully. This performance is one of the best ever as well.
Also, everything about this song is imperfect, which is exactly what makes it perfect. It exactly mirrors the emotion of the song.
I fell in love with this song day one. Radiohead remains my favourite to this day.
Pau, drummer from The Warning, covered this song for a challenge, and nailed it in a few hours. You should check it out! She makes you believe it!
I was a sophomore in high school when this song hit and it was a hard hit. You can hear the pain in Thom’s voice when he sings it. I can remember one day in college I was blaring this in my dorm room so loud the RA chewed my ass. Thom had severe social anxiety so it took him a while to get passed it.
relistening to these songs from my childhood as a man born in 1977 i just love to smoke one up and throw my lighters up!!! Thank you for giving this music another life it deserves :)
Lovin' your channel! So much passion for quality music and well defined reactions to the songs. You just made me listen to this song all day long haha..keep up the good work! Thank you!
Song always makes me cry
The part where the audience responds back to him, you can see his reaction to it… it looked like he really was surprised and flattered by it
I always love listening to your insight when hearing something new to you. Always makes my day. 😊
I was a teenager when this came out and it was my child hood song for sure xx
I haven't heard this song since the 90s, but it's one of my favorites.
If you ever get the chance to be in the audience and see this performed live, it's a pretty amazing, possibly religious, experience. Their shows are fantastic but this song just hits big for the entire audience and Thom is absolutely in my top ten favorite rock singers of all time.
Makes me cry everytime. 😢
As always - great reaction to an epic masterpiece of a song 🎵
I am a long time Radiohead fan. But Radiohead is far beyond and greater than “Creep”. Actually, their other songs deserves much more credit such as “Street Spirit”, “How to disappear completely”, “Paranoid Android”, “Weird Fishes” and much more… hope you will continue with your Radiohead reaction journey🎉❤ looking forward
Yeah, Street Spirit is my personal favourite, but Radiohead has way more to offer than just Creep.
Jigsaw falling into place should be added to that list
Feel that shit in your soul
The Pretenders put out a live acoustic version of this song and it is without question the finest rendition of this song EVER.
They do a live version of their song, Fade Out (Street Spirit) which I just know you'll love. If you search "street spirit live", it'll be the 3rd or 4th down. He looks very young and has blondish hair in the image for the video.. It is such a haunting song, and in my opinion, it's one of the best live vocal performances I've ever heard. You will no doubt feel the same emotion I do
♥ Dear Aileen, I looooove you so much for picking such timeless classics over and over again, crossind the lines of all genres, I whitnessed your pure emotions when you react to Rage, Rammstein, Pink Floyd, Readiohead here, and many other Classic Beauties, so good that you re here, keep on rocking my beauty, all the best to you!
Spectacular Reaction
Radiohead has quite a few “rockumentaries”I guess. From live shows, arenas, too the creative process in and outside the studio. (Meeting People is Easy) -1998, I think is listed in the top 50 rockumentaries. The bts of making “In Rainbows”, I particularly liked.
What I love the most is how much people really appreciate good music. I just turned 60 and I had been so sad to miss out on the 60s scene but I'm so excited to see all these bands in concert. As they started out as opening bands to being headliners. Then come back full circle. I don't like all the gimmicks. Just give me the music.
I think your adorable.
Creep foi o hino de uma geração! (anos 90)
❤️🔥🎸
Best reaction channel out of many I've jumped in and out of recently.
Touching Somg..One of my Highschool Favs…A Buddy of mine were On a Drive together and we Sang this OUT LOUD TOP OF OUR LUNGS😅😅
"Weird Fishes" Live From the Basement. No better next step (and you will love if you take the steps) Radiohead to check out. Awesome reaction!! Best band of last 30 years - 5 of 9 albums been on Rolling Stone top 500 - so they have huge range of music to dive into. This one is your formal Intro to Thom Yorke, one of the all-time great front person and writer in rock history, but also a voice like none other. Peace/
The song Creep came out at the same exact time as the Stone Temple Pilots Creep.
This one came first, and STP kept theirs back off MTV until this version wore off a bit.
I love both bands versions of Creep.
Funny enough Nirvana has a song off the record Bleach, called Negative Creep, which is a few years older than both Creep songs.
Kurt was kinda ahead of them all…check it out.
Incredible reaction...Incredible song
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really love your reaction. It`s the sound i had the oy to grew up it`s my generation. and there`s so mny more that inspired and touched me in this times, Cranberries `Zombie`or Òde to my amily`, Queen `Bohemian Rhapsody` or `Sombody to love`, Kylie Minou & Nick Cave with the Bad Seeds `Wid roses`, even Falco with his iconic song èannie`, ot Shinead o Connor `withe the Song o Prince `Nothing compares to you`...there`s so many other Musicians rom that time we should never forget
Now you need to go check out the Post Modern Jukebox version... it's awesome. VoicePlay did a really good cover as well.
3:54 emotion = vocal whammy bar. Making best use of it can turn a person with good but imperfect tone into an astounding singer.
6:50 Your show, Senpai. Here for it.
