Kiesza covers Naughty Boy's La La La in the Live Lounge

Kiesza covers Naughty Boy's La La La in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for Fearne Cotton.

[@truthmatters5209]

Real privilege to listen to such a talented group of musicians. Great live session.

[@alliep05]

All y'all talking about screaming... all I hear is passion

[@drewm1808]

She's got a diverse voice. People are crazy.

[@PoetArtistOfMusic]

I really love her voice. Very powerful love the song.

[@megslu]

I think everyone needs to view/listen to this as a COVER, like it is stated. When people do covers, they add their own swing to it, not necessarily trying to imitate the original tone by tone or whatever (I don't sing haha). I think Kiesza did this wonderfully, perfectly depicting her own style with the great Naughty Boy song.

[@polishal6]

You just saved me time writing all this...

[@Ogema-1]

I can definitely respect that she put her own swing and quite honestly she got most of the people who try to do a Sam Smith song beat. I do however, come into BBC1 hoping but not expecting for a cover that adds interesting twist but remain that's just as good, or lord forbid take it to the next level. Think about it a next level Sam Smith o_0! It didn't flop quite as hard as the Ed Sheeran cover of Stay with Me, quite wonderful actually like you said, but a definite notch down from the original for me.

[@skyyblue0410]

When you listen to this long enough and really careful listening to the lyrics, it's addictive!

[@timoye516]

You are so right.

[@georgerobles4976]

megslu your RIGHT! All these losers complaining have no clue.but there all just opinions ,I thought she did Great ! 🎙with a voice like hers anything she does is Fire .👌

[@FlamingEmberSeal]

I am not a fan of theirs however. The sound quality of this is appalling compared to when it was live on the radio. Her voice had a soulful quality to it that isn't apparent on this video.

[@crissybrown705]

i loved the backing vocallists! they were spot on! great cover in general!

[@tenitinks]

thanks hun really appreciate this comment! :)

[@crissybrown705]

Teni tinks no probs love i meant it x

[@aujourd8]

don't read the comments before listening... excellent performance, very talented artist

[@VLoveTarot]

I saw it andthen commented. beautiful voice!

[@KochelzShizzle]

Not her best performace. should've toned it down a bit, seems like she was struggling hitting those high notes… Still love her though!

[@KochelzShizzle]

***** haha well… not like I'm into Paramore ;)

[@KorueSenpai]

***** Fail XD That's Paramore. Hayley Williams voice is sooo much better though, just saying LOL

[@KochelzShizzle]

Korue Senpai I don't understand what you mean?

[@FigarollaAbusiva]

She was ill..

[@KochelzShizzle]

FigarollaAbusiva yeah? it's still very high tho...

[@biggiehwan]

So much hate for no reason in the comments section. Kiesza and the backup singers did a great job. Being green with envy isn't a good look y'all.

[@skunksmoker14]

Andrew Kim Just because people are saying they don't like it, it doesn't mean they are showing hate or, like the lights behind her, 'green with envy'. People can give constructive criticism and have an opinion on something without feeling hate. Showing hate would be people writing things like "oh listen to this sack of shit cat being dragged backwards through a hedge" "listen to her trying to hit the high notes she sounds like a cunt" Those would be words of hate.

[@sergeyi.7037]

That's even better than the original performance of this song, it's sort of more emotional, passionate and with more acute feelings, with a lot of artistic value, and Kiesza's facial expressions are priceless too. Such an existential and psychological performance. Not to mention that poweful voice. In my opinion, that is simply a masterpice, can't stop listening. Absolutely beautiful! Incredible!

[@RoxyLupitaBravo]

Oh stop it HATERS! ya'll acting like you gained something out of leaving a negative comment

[@TABERNER182]

Kiesza is such an amazing singer and performer!

[@MrSledge121]

I absolutely love this cover, the backing vocals are first to captivate me then Kiesza nails it and in my opinion its better than the original. One backing vocal seems to get more camera time than the other, you can tell from her face that music is very important to her, she's totally lost in the music.

[@iLL3571]

She should've singed a whispered version not trying for a "powerful" one

[@dazem8]

+Lex C i agree. i thought she sounded really good in the beginning and at the end when it was softer singing. she has a good voice either way, but i would have liked to hear the "softer" version. but then people on here would be like, ugh she didn't even try! you can't win, lol.

[@ada20101993]

She should've sang it a little bit lower... she was screaming and squeezing those high notes...

[@GCCKnuckles]

Those back up singers are awful

[@James14122]

No, Kiesza was awful - nothing wrong with the backing singers.

[@j0n99]

James The song is awful!

[@brokenhousemusic5410]

what was wrong with the Back up singers, They clearly didn't rate her as a singer, if she entered X Factor I doubt she'll make it to Judge's houses.

[@crissybrown705]

thats funny i made a comment about how i though the back up singers were great and then i scrolled down and you said they were awful lol they were faultless(the back up singers)

[@마부우]

You deaf?

[@demianrednovak]

make the pretty reckless cover McBusted's Air Guitar

[@sparklezful11]

YES !!!

[@michaelthomas8592]

What a GREAT ARTIST she is (and her performers also)!!!

[@ethanchen3501]

I love every second of it

[@nepetah3130]

Is she a mezzo or an alto? She sounds just between the two, I can't tell.

[@bradcool10]

Good song choice, but something just didn't seem right

[@Aleksandraee]

The singer

[@khrisnakhristian5419]

ann an or autoehmehmehm

[@anthonygrant2523]

Deleted

[@needlessToo]

Proper music.

[@cuongho3763]

Her voice is too powerful for this song

[@barcounek]

This is not "dreadful", it's just her style..

[@alforj39]

I was nervous to click on this because the song's such a studio track, but this was amazing! And she made it her own! So cool! A++ gold stars forever

[@FeelUpNguyen]

She looks like Tom Hiddleston w/ makeup...

[@jayhouseaddict1]

kiesza and london grammar should make a song

[@cliffcri]

Best lalala cover I have heard...Thanks Kiesza..

[@andreaslanger1030]

😘😘😘😘you are great 👏🏻

[@bingyangbai8404]

Kiesza's voice is so so so great!

[@jimrrr3]

I love everything about this version, Kiesza, the back up vocals and the drums. I wish there was a way to get this on my iPod.

[@stephaniesawake5799]

[@claroca7619]

SoundCloud

[@intelligentactile1]

Either of these back-up singers could have done the song better. She didn't pull the power from the right place.

[@MaxCouriel]

This is the best version!

[@mkpratt58]

Love this version,.......sweeeet

[@bethan8107]

I swear im not hating or trying to be mean or anything because i truly do like kiesza's voice but on some words she cut herself off at the end which kind of ruined it for me😕 everything else was great though!!

[@planetDUDEisNICKY]

She has an amazing voice but there is something up with this song she done. I feel like she is in pain or something...

[@constanzapoletmansillamele1782]

Es tan buena esta versión ❤

[@sarina_friendlie]

Highly motivated backing singer :D

[@bford4336]

What an amazing voice

[@galladetheknight]

they got taystee from orange is the new black lowkey singing backup

[@bonovox5209]

This girl is so damm talented...

[@alexeyfoncroy9435]

Omg! Stop using your head voice and belting, because your chest voice is INCREDIBLE! Talented, anyway!

[@kimnohvak7319]

excelente 🌟❤😌😍

[@MaceeSb]

She's perfect.

[@RickyMatthewsBarraganking]

I'm covering my ears like a kid when your words mean nothing i go la la la I'm turning up the volume when you speak

[@stikeforce98]

I swear the backup singer is creepy af!

[@Mrtheus14]

The snare sound is very good !

[@Brannanjackson]

i loved it. her voice is so amazing. she is one of the few singers that can it those really high notes. amazing. dont read the comments before listening..

[@DžanárdanJaroslav]

❤❤❤ Hare Krišna 💓🎉🦋🏵️🍀🍂🦚🪷

[@cankocanew7238]

I do like Kiesza a looooooot....but I'm disappointed from this performance. Not enough Kiesza "style" here..... She can do this muuuch better....so I'm waiting !

[@AntonioCuccarese]

Nord Stage 2 and Korg Kronos.. my dreams' keyboards..together..I'm speechless.. I think I'll steal them. P.S. Really nice version (even though Ain't no sunshine left me a little bit confused ahahah) ;) I think Kiesza have a beatiful voice and an incredible extension.. It's a pity that she's not really known here (I'm Italian)

[@jinalawi3934]

the 2nd voices✅❤️

[@kasiulade]

from allllllllllllll the songs in the universe why this one!! porque!!!! Kiesze you're awesome!! Great Concert in Warsaw!! just not my song - sorry

[@szinthom1]

the only thing what's good is the piano-synthstrings-bass kombination. And they're really awesome. btw: why "Ain't No Sunshine" - text passages?

[@alinacsvc]

I actually love this

[@julietimesamillion]

Backing vocals and band are amazing....that's it.

[@daizhuoxian]

O---M---G this cover is so amazing...

[@andre_cnr]

This song is so Kieszy! And her backing girls, they are all so awesome!

[@jayntsngh]

only SAM SMITH can sing this song in this whole world. this is kinda an impossible song for whole world's singer. no one dare to sing this song. if someone do, they fail.

[@wasabi5983]

BBC Radio 1 gives us an opportunity to see artists perform live and cover other songs. I don't really know Kiesza except her successful single but I can definitely say that she can sing. Enjoy the music people!

[@JennetteMcCurdygal]

She looks like Cole in girls united from The Fosters

[@Jadecaseykay]

The backing singers are on point ! They should of sung this instead! Check out my cover ;). Xx

[@michaelthomas8592]

I LOVE kiesza - and anybody who loves her, shall look: ALICA MERTON - NO ROOTS You will love it!!!

[@michaelthomas8592]

My english is a shit but whatsowever...

[@JustSimplyWendy]

This song would've been better acoustic and her singing a little lower then the way she did. The screaming just got in the way of enjoying the song.

[@florian4025]

Thank You! MASTERPIECE !!!

[@MIlhamP]

even professional singer can wrong at lyrics "turnin up" not "turnin off"

[@grzeskowebazgroy9845]

Fajne,wypuść powietrze kobieto proszę i będzie OK PROSZĘ

[@jacobwollam5835]

The backgrounds singers are so much better Kiesza. I'd listen to them.....

[@MrSimilee]

Def not the best I've seen from her. If you've just seen this vid and are feeling sad go and watch the Pentatonix mashup version of this, LaLaLatch. It will 100% improve your mood.

[@steveempiremantra2120]

+Keron M yas

[@kingzach74]

I agree that Pentatonix has one of the best covers of this song, but I still love Kiesza's version. She definitely gives more of a jazz feel to this song that most people cannot pull off.

[@MEME-gr3op]

She sounded nervous =/ I would be too though. Still lover her

[@strawberrychoc93]

Some notes are quite tiring to listen to. Apart from that, it is a really good cover... Well done!

[@TENDRIL77]

Loved the band and backup singers...... not the singer. The song was a bad choice for her.

[@brokenhousemusic5410]

She is just Awful, tries way too hard for a simple song, she comes across to me as someone who is trying to prove they can sing.

[@KorueSenpai]

I adore Kiesza, she has so much talent but she has totally butchered this song...

[@OneLastCallingAllaFreeJi-qz6qv]

"baby" my darling gorgeous goofy... Did you ever wonder why you sang the songs you sing... Do you wonder who I am... Do you want to be with me. // My sweet smarts My maple mapes My Ripley my baby My Alla Prima Prime.... "My Cup" . . . // = ,, -- ~~ ...my wife"

[@RicLyTheAudioAddict]

its hard to cover a song with sam smith's vocals. shes trying a bit too hard but shes still a strong talent. love her.

[@kathrinr.6333]

The backings are really Great :-) enjoyed them more

[@jasonhendrickson3334]

I love her

[@Micky999]

No digais mas tonterias, la cancion ha quedado genial. Bravo Kiesza!

[@simisasimic8740]

To Kiesza gospodine jedan

[@wualice2604]

Her voice is good, and she is able to sing this song, but I think the pitch is still too high for her even she can sing it.

[@greenhousejunkie]

Is is by far up there with my favourite live lounge performances ever !!!

[@italoremedy]

I agree Glyn, she is amazing gives me goosies and her album is incredible

[@OpenSpace.TheWild]

wtf is wrong with that backup singer. babysitting noises is what i call them. ugh

[@BrenoFortunato]

This is about 5 months old now, how come I didn't see it before! Shame on me!

[@jerrypapitas9061]

return to the video and stop watching the comments then you can judge it

[@asunderco]

"Better tuck in that lip boy. You'll get that caught on a trip wire."

[@miro7352]

When she stops screaming she kind of sounds good 😕

[@sarahdance4647]

It's called a strong voice.

[@KarmaPolica]

Жду Кайзу в России

[@RenaldoRamai]

nice

[@timbruno7105]

Live lounges have been pretty poor recently tbh...

[@KYmusicberlin]

A tone lower I would have actually enjoyed it. Great singer, but my vocal chords were hurting hearing her struggeling up there. But that does not mean she is no good, just makes her human ;)

[@Rosannasfriend]

I do think she always tries to sing higher than her natural range. She can hit really high notes, but her voice doesn't sit there like she wants to pretend it does. If she doesn't want to sound strained, she needs to practice something called "forward placement " to reach those notes with more ease. Otherwise, she should realize it's ok to lower to the key, or else she damage her voice completely.

[@佐藤佐藤-e4r]

Awesome

[@rockertim]

Oh man this is awful. I do like Kiesza usually though.

[@paulgurdie9763]

fearne cotton should leave radio 1 past by date * getting old

[@mcmaskell]

no one beats Sam Smith

[@hopscotch3466]

Sebbie McDonald you are the reason young people suck the asses of the table.

[@bikeman880road]

I would like to hear the support singers more like her yellin.

[@joycehorton6999]

that was good

[@bubblemusic25]

the inst reminded me a bit of dont you wory child at the start ? :/

[@MrSJS92]

She started out so well and then she started SCRINGING.

[@ChinclaSQrincon]

Nice voice, but I don't like the cover very much...

[@damiengalvin3249]

She's pretty cool woman.classy bird

[@epod77]
