What a talent! Just perfect in every way and playing piano whilst singing like that is just pure talent!

Bon Iver's version was the original... simply put. Birdy's is absolutely brilliant. Bella's was also very very well done. All three have a different approach to it and all three are great... The arguing is pointless.

[@laniyahbarrett4808]

Bellas version is definitely the best by far I’m not sure how it’s even comparable with the other 2 tbh, they aren’t bad but bellas is just insane

Bella is really just copying Birdy's arrangement, as incredible as her singing is.

[@foreversunrise8749]

You inspired Bella Ferraro to cover this song in her audition. When I heard her version it inspired me to tryout. In 2013 I got my Golden Ticket with two original songs. Your music continues to inspire us. I am going to try again. Music is love. Music is hope. Music is peace. We have to share it.

bella and birdy they both has delivered an absolutely amazing performance but i personally think that birdy,s performance was way like the next level....wow !

[@searchingforchrist7792]

Bellas is better

[@BooThing14]

Omg!!!!! I can't stand it,. She is just unbelievable!!! Seriously, listen to Bella Ferraro's x factor vid, then come back to this,and tell me Birdy doesn't do it better!?! Bella has nothing on this girl.This young women is amazing, she is not just a singer she is a musicians, no fancy riffs and runs needed. This girl can sing, haunting beautiful an amazing. AND she looks like a star sitting at that piano!!! I'm dying right now

[@cattleyasummers2165]

Don't forget Bella doesn't know she was that good...and she is actually in a competition and is very nervous, there is a huge difference between competing and just a performance. The fact that her mum cried already proves that there is so much on the line..and she definitely didn't receive any vocal training or whatever..it is what i called raw talent...Try giving her a few years of training and practice...Bella would be just as good or even better.

[@iamtruth65]

I dont agree, Bellas version is sooo much better. I went to school for music and even my professor will tell you Bellas is soooooo much better!!!! The only reason Bellas may not add up quite as much is bc she doesnt have the experience in performing in front of ppl. Give her a cpl years, and she would be sooooo much better than Birdy!!!

[@sergill5542]

God you're so absolutely right... sorry but Birdy is a million times better

[@Idonteatdog]

Birdy set the standard to all these girls singing "Skinny Love". The first time I listened, I thought she pulled a bit over in the high notes. Most of those girls at the contests lacks some emotion. This song is hard to sing, and some girls go too plain, others go too high. This is a sad song and Birdy is the one who got closer to its meaning.

[@AnneDalton82]

honestly i think Bella is WAY better, seeing she had no vocolization training or anything like that. I think Bella has raw talent inside her, i love Birdy but i dont think she can match all the potential that Bella has!

[@ashleymceuen6741]

[@xanderbrink5167]

@@benparkin6448 She was never mainstream lmao. She became famous for not making mainstream music at the time, she was a breath of fresh air amongst all the mainstream music. She hasn´t fallen off she is just not a fame hungry artist, she has stayed true to herself ever since she became famous but that also has made her boring to the masses because she isn´t changing her hairstyle or color or style all over the place like people expect from female artists. Taylor Swift said it best, if you´re not changing or doing something crazy every album you release then people will most likely lose interest, this mostly goes for female artists. People don´t expect as much from male artists and they usually don´t even have to do much on stage either to be loved. Sad but true.

[@jambykool]

In my opinion, lol. Birdy released SKINNY LOVE at the age of 14. She transformed a deeply heartfelt song into a hauntingly beautiful hit. Before anybody says that Bella Ferraro or Bon Ivor are better it must be noted that at 14 years Birdy could not have an emotional range that would have caused her to create anything different than the song she sings because she liked it and did it her way. She is talented and is getting the experience as she matures. The world will definitely be hearing more of her.

Birdy is the best. Such a talent from a 14 year old and make other's songs her own with a new arrangement. Tha makes her unique.. Some people made covers but just usually did what the original does and it takes a lot of skills and talent to make cover as if it was originally written by you. That makes Birdy one of a kind.

[@rocafellav2]

Yes, some may say Bella Ferraro is the better singer, but Birdy's voice is more unique and significantly more memorable than Bella's. As for the debate on whether or not Bon Iver's original was better than Birdy's, I would say there is no right answer as both versions invoke different emotions when listened to; so it boils down to a matter of opinion and how you interpret the song.

Nothing will ever top the original by Bon Iver, whom is a master in my eyes, but her unique approach on Skinny Love is beautiful, and she makes the song melancholy and the creates an entirely different vibe that I don't think anyone can bash her on covering a song. Plus, damn the girl can sing.
