OMG do you guys know how hard it probably is to actually get the vocals just right for any of nirvana's songs? Especially when ur girl!! She wasn't trying to out do them....or majorily empress anyone. She was just doing what she wanted. Get over it.
It's impossible to get them exactly right because they are coming from raw emotion Kurt never sung it exactly the same way twice because each time he may have been more or less fucked up or angry or sad or sleepy lol
Whenever you see the word "cover", don't be mad if you get disappointed. You never know how a cover is going to turn out. Alot of you are disappointed but I thought it was pretty good. Flyleaf never disappoints me. ;)
For everyone that said that she can't sing, write "flyleaf" on the searcher and check songs like "I'm so sick" and "fully alive" and then we'll talk. Great voice and a perfect screamer!
While she does have certain talents, her talents do not fall in covering Nirvana. She does put an insane amount of emotion into Flyleaf's songs, but she lacks an intensity that Nirvana was able to bring to this.
Rzamortis Yes, but she covered a song that was already so deep in itself and she has to be given credit for that. She knows she's not in any place to cover a Nirvana song, so I respect her because of that
This is exactly what it is suppose to be, a COVER song. Surprisingly I enjoyed their version of this song, they added their own flavor to the song and I think they did a good job.
omg I am tired of you people hating on flyleaf they can do it better then any of you so stop it ok I have read like almost half of the comments and you guys call yourselves flyleaf fans? get real you are not flyleaf fans if your hating on her ok yes she might of not been that good but she wasn't afraid to cover the song my god you people need to stop hating so much and get a life
You basically said that Lacey has a better voice than anyone that was commenting and said that she could, indefinitely, do the song better than they could ever do it. But you've never heard any of these individuals voices. Therefore, you can't say that.
I don't think people even get what a "Cover". It's just that! A cover, I will obviously never sound like the original ofcourse, but that's the point' its suppose to sound like the band or artist that is singing it at that moment. I thought this was a great cover for what this band is.
This is a great cover. Had honestly never heard this band before seeing this, but Nirvana has been my favorite band since I was ten years old. This is a damn good cover and I think Kurt would approve.
it took alot of courage for her to go up and sing this song honestly she could care less about everybody opinion honestly people are just hypocrite's she did this for Kurt Cobain memory not for someone's hateful words honestly I hope she comes back to singing its where she belongs
Tell me about it. These people don't understand crap! Honestly I feel like she's an amazing woman. I mean, her songs did help me through the hardest times.
i grow up with nirvana and i have to give you right on that but its very nice to see that nirvana lives on in new bands. nothing and noone can replace or be even close to nirvana, but the band made an good cover in theyr own way.
Because there are a lot of virgins out there on the interwebs that are afraid of anything with a VAGINA!! lol It's got great energy, great passion and it's a great cover.
To tell you the truth I didn't like this cover Until I started Listening to Flyleaf. I really started getting used to The lead Singers Voice :) Now I actually really Like this ,Thank you for Posting this :) P.s I love Flyleaf unplugged !
are you freaking kidding me...STOP hating flyleaf for this AWESOME cover and go troll Miley friggin cyrus for her desecration of the song. At least lacey has the grace to realize this is a major thing to make a cover of the song and she tries to do it with the most respect she can, miley cyrus just bastardizes it.
Less blank more stank,end on that and calm on down to the studio,tell em,lacey try to beat em,if not I'll still join u cos I'll do anything to get there,where you started
@@aliciaolson9119 old comment, but shut up. you're probably one of those young idiots who wasnt even alive for nirvana and thinks they're the biggest fan etc etc. If old mate wasnt dead, I'm sure he'd approve of the cover. most people in the industry are big fans of eachother. Fist yourself
Wow. Just stumbled upon this. Being a Nirvana as well as a Flyleaf fan, it thrilled me... Think it would've been a bit more true, though, had Lacey kept some of that feral rasp in her voice while singing it - we all know she can do it, God love her for it. And Sameer? Way to go, brother. Sounded damn good. Intriguing, over all...
I know people are hating on this cover, but I think the instrumentals were spot on, and in some ways sound cooler than the original. Of course her vocals won't even come close to matching Cobain's raspy voice, but I think she did alright.
ok so first I will admit that that cover was not their best work. However, that same year Lacey was struggling with her voice and actually had to get surgery done to fix it also she admitted in the beginning that she and the others were nervous. Its not easy to cover a great band like nirvana. If this is your first time listening to flyleaf I suggest you listen to one of their own songs because her voice is amazing (in my opinion) I love flyleaf and will continue to support them no matter what:)
the only time a nirvana cover is done well is if the band covering the song changes it up a bit into their own style.. just straight trying to copy a nirvana song will never sound good. this is a nice try.. but her gimmick is old and tired and seems extremely forced.
Disappointing, since she has such a distinctive voice it would have been cool to hear it sung it a little different. They did such a good job on the NIN cover but this was just a big waste
So many haters in here, my God. Can't you see, that's Flyleaf covering an epic band, Nirvana. Show respects, just cause Lacey's having a hard time with the vocals, probably because 1st, it's not her genre, and 2nd, maybe she's sick or something. Here her sing her own songs when her throat's good, you'll have your jaw dropped.
the wtf are you here for??stop hating flyleaf they have lots of meaning to their songs and maybe this isnt their song but they did really good and maybe better than
@sTapleEVA Here's where I debunk your comment. First, lose is not spelled "loose." Secondly, telling me I am weak if I don't respond to you doesn't make it a fact, it's merely your personal opinion. So basically, you just owned yourself.
I don't see why so many people hate... she most likely did this as a solute to Kurt and the band Nirvana, no need to bag on her because you don't like it.
Oh my God you guys. First of all, this is a cover, 2)She IS singing the way she does. Its just her style. Shes just singing the song the way she would if it was hers. Kurt and Lacy are two totally different people. Stop being Critics.
Btw to the people beating down on this,its not meant to be perfect,its meant to be raw having fun.When have nirvana ever sang sugar coated?Take it for what it is.
@TK4381 I was saying she articulated to a greater degree and Kurt was a mumbler. This song came out the summer after I graduated from high school so yeah, I know Nirvana did it first.
excuse me, but that's exactly what i was saying. everyone's whining about her being off pitch, but she's not. her voice just sounds completley different. which, like you said, has nothing to do with her being off pitch. (and she's not.)
I'm not going to argue with people... if you don't like it, that's your opinion. Given the fact that they're covering a song from a band that people almost literally worship, I'd expect a lot of people not to like it. HOWEVER - and this is a big however - I do feel that most of you aren't taking into consideration what the hell the song is even about. What they play exactly fits the spirit of the song itself. It's what Cobain was saying over a decade ago... It's the art, not the entertainment
Hey, it sounds alright for a girl doing this. Nobody can compare to Kurt, but they did an alright attempt. Besides, like they said in the beginning they FEEL the song, like all of us Nirvana fans really. I respect this. Don't we all just wanna sing it sometimes?
everyone complaining about this cover of smells like teen spirit and how they did it ,why don't you all put a sound recorder on your phone and sing this song ?record yourself ,play it back and see if you can do better. Lacey has awesome vocals
this is why people shouldn't cover Nirvana. No one can touch Kurt's voice. And as for everyone saying the drums suck have you actually listened to Flyleaf because you wouldn't be surprised if you have.
I happen to know Flyleaf as one of the most amazing worship bands In America. I also happen to know Flyleaf as some of the most amazing musicians/artists in America.
@gunner525 I know she can't sing grunge, but it's not for a lack of passion, it's just because she actually has a clean, melodic voice, that doesn't have the scratchy, throaty quality demanded by grunge music. She altered the song to better suit her singing, and did an excellent job of that. In addition, no way in HELL, is Amy Lee backing up anyone. She is far too talented to be in the background.
OMG, she actually did very good, nd its really hard 2 do this song, nd really scary! good job(: nd shes not maukin him or bein mean, ITS A FREAKIN TRIBUTE PPL.
I think this is awesome, screw the negative comments, they didnt do that bad; why is so hard for people to say nice things on youtube? i think i'm just gonna stop reading comments on here, because i can't read them without getting extremely annoyed.
can i just say that even though a lot of people dont like this cover i didnt think she bombed. She has a great grunge voice. Just because she's a girl doesn't make her cover suck. Nirvana is amazing, obviously, but dont trash her or her band just because they did a cover. I thought it was actually quite good.
How am I just now seeing this in 2024?
Right!!?
Maybe yall just found out about Flyleaf.
@@VegaMain If you say so.
Same
Sounds great!
OMG do you guys know how hard it probably is to actually get the vocals just right for any of nirvana's songs? Especially when ur girl!! She wasn't trying to out do them....or majorily empress anyone. She was just doing what she wanted. Get over it.
lacey though...
I love her.
Haters are just haters . They always be there. Part of being noticed 💜
It's impossible to get them exactly right because they are coming from raw emotion Kurt never sung it exactly the same way twice because each time he may have been more or less fucked up or angry or sad or sleepy lol
Man this just works! Absolutely love it! They understood the assignment!👏👏👏🤘🤘
Whenever you see the word "cover", don't be mad if you get disappointed.
You never know how a cover is going to turn out.
Alot of you are disappointed but I thought it was pretty good.

I like it. Covers are not supposed to an exact copy of a song, but their own version of it and that is what they did.
I love the way she holds the mic xD
People seriously need to shut up! Lacey has a gift of putting so much emotion and depth to a song that's already so deep.
While she does have certain talents, her talents do not fall in covering Nirvana. She does put an insane amount of emotion into Flyleaf's songs, but she lacks an intensity that Nirvana was able to bring to this.
Rzamortis Yes, but she covered a song that was already so deep in itself and she has to be given credit for that. She knows she's not in any place to cover a Nirvana song, so I respect her because of that
@@twinmothz this song isn't deep at all. It's mindless bullshit even when Kobain did it
It's really not that bad of a cover
@@jefferyjones8399 no it's God awful. It's an obomination.. She is a great singer but this is trash
This sounds incredible for a live performance. Bet it'd sound even better as a studio recording 👍💖
This is exactly what it is suppose to be, a COVER song. Surprisingly I enjoyed their version of this song, they added their own flavor to the song and I think they did a good job.
hearing her sing "my libido" made me laugh endlessly
She has a beautiful voice. I like what FlyLeaf did with this song. They put there own touch on a classic Nirvana song.
i don't even particularly like flyleaf, but this cover is actually great. good for them for doing it. i loved what she said in the beginning.
IM IN LOVE W/ HER HAIR...shes sooo pretty
omg I am tired of you people hating on flyleaf they can do it better then any of you so stop it ok I have read like almost half of the comments and you guys call yourselves flyleaf fans? get real you are not flyleaf fans if your hating on her ok yes she might of not been that good but she wasn't afraid to cover the song my god you people need to stop hating so much and get a life
How do you know that they can do it better than any of these people? lol.
hello have you heard Laceys voice?
Have you heard the voice of any of these other people? lmfao.
what do you mean?
You basically said that Lacey has a better voice than anyone that was commenting and said that she could, indefinitely, do the song better than they could ever do it. But you've never heard any of these individuals voices. Therefore, you can't say that.

+Liberty Telford same
She is a solo artist now check her out Lacey Strum and wrote three books.
R.I.P in our hearts forever Kurt Cobain :') a legend never dies
I don't know about anyone else this is just my opinion, but I liked it
i grow up with nirvana and i have to give you right on that but its very nice to see that nirvana lives on in new bands. nothing and noone can replace or be even close to nirvana, but the band made an good cover in theyr own way.
I have always liked this cover. Don't know why so much hate in the comments section.
Because there are a lot of virgins out there on the interwebs that are afraid of anything with a VAGINA!! lol
It's got great energy, great passion and it's a great cover.
***** I like Flyleaf and LOVE women and i am not a virgin. This version is not very good. Good try though.
Sebastian Rasmussen NICE TRY WOMAN-HATING, FEDORA WEARING VIRGIN!
Better luck next time.
#ClassicInternetTroll ing
Sebastian Rasmussen "Good try though" what?
***** I just think that this cover fails to be as good as the original. It is nowhere near it. But it was a nice try.
To tell you the truth I didn't like this cover Until I started Listening to Flyleaf. I really started getting used to The lead Singers Voice :) Now I actually really Like this ,Thank you for Posting this :) P.s I love Flyleaf unplugged !
One of the best covers I have heard of this song!
I have never listened to Flyleaf much, but props to them for giving credit where it is due. They did a damn good job on this with their style.
Lacey sturm= perfectness
wow this is one of the best covers ive listened to of nirvana exept seether
are you freaking kidding me...STOP hating flyleaf for this AWESOME cover and go troll Miley friggin cyrus for her desecration of the song. At least lacey has the grace to realize this is a major thing to make a cover of the song and she tries to do it with the most respect she can, miley cyrus just bastardizes it.
very unique style!.. i love this band
they've done a lot of covers, they put their heart and soul into everything they do. . . .so i think they did a great job :)
It's a decent cover; they did well. If you want to suffer, listen to Miley Cyrus's cover of this song.
Lol people still mad about this cover
hahahaha right
Less blank more stank,end on that and calm on down to the studio,tell em,lacey try to beat em,if not I'll still join u cos I'll do anything to get there,where you started
This is a pretty good cover.
No it not. This sucks big time
+Alicia Olson oi let people have their opinions.

better than miley cyrus's version of this song i mean.

she did it in her/their style... love it or like it thats your problem, but if you've found yourself here than you like flyleaf so why the hate??....
+iang2217 Not really, I came here by watching Seether's cover of "You Know You're Right". Didn't know this band at all.
Does not sound like Flyleaf. Sounds like shit.
i like it. good to see a band honor another band's hit by covering it, putting their own thing in it.
she was so high when she did this
I enjoyed it! Flyleaf is a talented band and they did a good job performing one of the greatest rock songs of all time!
Dear big mouthed girl, having chucks and red dyed hair doesn't make you a grunge singer.
Hey you, dumbass. Typing TH-cam comments doesn't make you any much more than a worthless hateful piece of shit.
like the octave chord work on it and that whammy or flanger or whatever effect is rockin i love how they kept it simple but still left their mark
The way she sounds like she's crying during the pre-chorus makes me want to stick my fingers into my eyes
I know people are hating on this cover, but I think the instrumentals were spot on, and in some ways sound cooler than the original.
Of course her vocals won't even come close to matching Cobain's raspy voice, but I think she did alright.
This sounds like a potato screaming
oh my god.......it does..........
hahaha
can you do any better and she did a good job

Wow... at least they did a better job than evanescence and heart shaped box.
Nirvana songs are hard to cover because Kurt cobain had a unique voice so give evanescence and flyleaf some credit
Oh don't get me wrong, I love evanescence I just didn't really like their cover.
excuse me? the heart shaped box cover by Evanescence is awesome.
Heart saped box cover by evanescence is better, just beacause Amy sing better than she do. Anyway i like this cover :)
I love this cover.
Disappointing, since she has such a distinctive voice it would have been cool to hear it sung it a little different. They did such a good job on the NIN cover but this was just a big waste

A million times better than that Puddle of Mudd cover lol

I love this cover so much
@torturedman I meant: At least know WHEN to growl if you attempt this song. She can definitely scream but for some reason didn't in this song.
I don't know why your hating on the drummer, he did a damn good job.
What I really love about this is the way she pronounces pretty much every word in the chorus, I mean seriously? What?
i luv u lacey!! :D shes such a good singer no matter what{;
@TK4381 I was saying she articulated to a greater degree and Kurt was a mumbler. This song came out the summer after I graduated from high school so yeah, I know Nirvana did it first.

no the guitars are on nirvana played it alittle off but that was their style lol i love nirvana! flyleaf did it their way and i think it rocked!

Omg I love it! So different :3
Very nice love it
Un grupo Cristiano haciendo un cover de una cancion que escucharla al reves tiene un mensaje subliminal oscuro negativo , no va , no deberia ser....
Crees que ella es cristiana? No ves la apariencia de macho. ..rra que tiene?
Nobody can do it as good as Kurt.
I love this band!!! she is soo free!
When the lead has to justify why they're about to do a cover, you can expect it to suck.
Think if Kurt was alive today to hear this cover, he would've pulled the trigger himself
i love flyleaf but i was never i big fan of them live. But good for her doing her thing! :)
OMG, she actually did very good, nd its really hard 2 do this song, nd really scary! good job(: nd shes not maukin him or bein mean, ITS A FREAKIN TRIBUTE PPL.
@akaloxd She's not nervous. Kurt's voice did that too; it's part of the song.
Surprisingly good cover, imo.
I think this is awesome, screw the negative comments, they didnt do that bad; why is so hard for people to say nice things on youtube? i think i'm just gonna stop reading comments on here, because i can't read them without getting extremely annoyed.
