Carrie Manolakos - Creep (Radiohead)

[@Lagoon898]

It’s 2024 and still the best version of Creep

[@kemikalrxn]

Also props to the back-up singer who complements her really really well.

[@TyWest57]

+ThatWeirdThingInTheCorner I compliment you both.

[@mattieril3y]

It’s 2023 (10 years since this was published) and this is STILL the best cover of Creep. ❤

[@bb_queer]

wow i cant believe its been that long already

[@tomviviano8704]

This is my first KZbin comment ever and it's January 13, 2024 and this is the STILL the best cover of Creep to ever exist. Over the past 10 years have probably listened to this about 1000 times.

[@MultiCappie]

Daniela Andrade.

[@White_King]

x2

[@triffus]

Top 4 for sure. Brian Justin Crum, Kelly Clarkson, Vincent........

[@wesleyellis2152]

Carrie is such a powerhouse -- but I think that the backup singer deserves a ton of credit for this performance...especially her harmony during the bridge. It provides enough tension that when she finally resolves the tension (around 2:51) spot on with the downbeat of the crash-cymbal -- THAT is what induces the chills. Give that part a listen so you can hear what I am talking about!

[@olegahg]

Now I know

[@sbrawz_coach_human]

You just made a video I've watched dozens of times even better by breaking it down - thank you! That was awesome!

[@mrtstubbs]

Good catch on that chord. Brilliant!

[@juwonlee2380]

At least I watched more than 100 creep covers and it is the still best ever. I searched this vid for a few years and I found it. Thank god.

[@michaelmcquilkin1022]

This is one of those live moments when you look around the room, make eye contact with someone you've never met before that shares the same look of wide-eyed amazement, and both of you mouth a silent "WOW."

[@NiciinMS]

The piano player is killing it. He's spot on.

[@Fezzynipz]

I've never had chills so hardcore in my life @ 2:24 til the end of that run part... like my nipples almost decayed off of my body from the chills

[@victorsera6291]

[@impulse9tucson]

Just scratched "See a vocalist passionately and accurately nail the bridge of Radiohead's 'Creep' in modal voice register" off my wish list. HOORAY THAT WAS AN OLD ONE.

[@homefryingpan]

Holy crap...read this comment right as she hit the bridge...I concur

The power of her vocals comes out of NOWHERE on that bridge...there's no preparing for it, even if you know it's coming. Thank you, Carrie and Co. for this perfect cover!

[@thequoruscolumbiaslgbtqqa-9450]

It never gets old. The harmony and arrangement and her belt. amazing

it's 2021 and this is still the best cover of creep

[@lovelylouro]

Without a doubt

[@iwolfz364]

Far from it

[@우토-i1c]

still 22 too

[@gynack]

Fiona Jane Espante No. Way out best is Haley Reinhart's version with Postmodern Jukebox. Incredibly creative and original with all sorts of technically demanding things going on that you're hardly aware of because she makes all it seem so natural and easy. Next best version I've ever heard is by Kelly Clarkson.

[@ZoeyJanex]

@@gynack then why are you placing your comment here. go comment to their videos

[@pgriffinbaron]

I just found a youtube list of "Great Radiohead Covers" and this was the last one on the list. I've heard this song a billion times, I've heard covers a billion times, but this was... without a doubt... the best cover of it I've ever heard. I have no idea who this woman is, but jesus christ she killed that.

[@susies897]

check out brian justin crum's version. his was AMAZING. surprisingly even more than this one

[@michaelleach6026]

Haley Reinhart w/ Postmodern Jukebox or Brian Justin Crum on AGT 7/19/2016

Griffin Baron try Sarah Geronimo’s cover for Creep, you might change your mind!

[@rachelwayne4885]

Right! I absolutely agree!!

[@robertmanley3472]

Justin Crums rendition of this song can't be touched..... Still....this is spectacular.

[@alphamrc309]

Back here again. The intertwined harmony on the drop makes this the best cover, period.

[@carsonkientz8879]

I literally have not stopped listening othe section from 2:30 to 3:15. So many overtones and goosebumps. I understand if people are mad because they like the original more for some reason, but this version is a completely different style and its absolutely beautiful.

[@NovaCat2015]

+Carson Kientz It's possible to like both. Weird concept for some people, I guess. lol

[@simplydk1647]

but cucumber taste good with vaginal cream

[@simplydk1647]

sorry wrong comment

[@Harlow...]

Reporting in: It’s 2024 and this is Still the BEST version of Creep.

[@Nightelfyo]

This is the best cover of this song that I've ever heard. Honestly, the comments trashing her are all pretentious neck beards who need to chill out. I'm a huge Radiohead fan & this definitely not bad by any means. Relax.

[@Brazpastrop]

I really enjoy this cover! I Fall on my ass each time I heard it!

[@Nina-jn8ts]

Joey Iannitelli please look up the Scott Hoying and Caitlin Notey version. Then lets talk.

[@shazh2635]

Cupcake Explosion Looked up the Scott Hoying and Caitlin Notey version and still agree with Joey. Carrie is much better! Those 2, while having nice voices, sound like they are at American Idol try outs.

[@PaN1xX]

Joey Iannitelli its fairly good. nothing beats the cover of the supposedly homeless guy though- even though they arent really compareable as this is a slower version and pretty quiet, while the other one is really raw and loud.

[@powerforth8400]

+Joey Iannitelli check out : Creep - Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft. Haley Reinhart

[@holohulolo]

Of all the covers this is the only one that's really close to giving me that feeling when listening to the original. Especially at the beginning and right after the chorus is over and it was quiet again. It made me feel the vulnerability of truly believing that deep deep down I'm not good enough and at the same time that longing for the person's love and also truly seeing her as someone simply too good to be true, an angel.

[@matthewtimmers3226]

Carrie, while your vocals can clearly lead any set, I just want to point out - that for me anyway- the layered chords with the other vocalist truly made this rendition a masterpiece. Thank you all for playing this set and sharing with all of us.

[@tanyas.9688]

I can't even tell you how many times I have watched this video..Carrie, this was just masterful! Words don't do it justice. Haunting, brilliant, powerful, just wow. And the girl doing harmony was the perfect touch!

[@MsSkittlez888]

cannot stop listening to it... brought me to tears tbh

[@rorytmeadows]

Because you need a man

[@AizwellOfficial]

+rorytmeadows ...but you can't get one cuz you're an introverted ugly monstrosity...so you stay home and cry like a bitch rather than enjoy the music

[@AizwellOfficial]

rorytmeadows i finished your sentence, i didn't adresse you you insecure fuck.

[@ding2680]

radiohead is gay

[@redondoboy77]

Probably the best delivery of the part "she's running out" that I have ever heard. Very clever to split the lead vocals with a back-up; almost a duet but not quite. Big voice, big range. Love you, babydoll!

[@ccharkey]

Jesus. This should have so many more views. This song is as much about delivery as it is the singing. She kills it on both.

[@Aaronfurious]

The fact that the subject of this song is being unnoticed, yet we all notice the back-up vocalist, instills hope and beauty.

[@laurafortune7425]

I get goosebumps every time...

[@더블치즈버거-k7b]

피아노 미친듯.

[@alexesser9880]

The buildup to the climax is absolutely earth shattering. Absolutely one of my favourite covers of all time!!!

[@woodidy88]

I grew up hearing Radiohead sing this and here recently I have heard several covers on youtube. I have to say that as a woman, I LOVE it when a woman does this song and I personally love Carrie Manolakos' cover! I felt a lot of passion come through her voice and facial expressions... Fantastic! Radiohead reminds me of hanging out with my Dad cause he always liked their version and still does and Carrie Manolakos' version just feels more personal to me...

[@PJZ]

I come back and watch this more often than I care to admit. And every. single. time. the sound of Carrie's voice melding together seamlessly with Liana's fucking WRECKS me.

[@puree8729]

This is possibly the best rendition I've ever heard of this song, it really tugs at you and the climax gives you shivers. Amazing

[@karacharlesworth957]

The piano part at 3:00 and the end! 😍 Her range is incredible! 👏

[@withlove5193]

it's 2021 and this is still the world best version of creep :D

[@tanyas.9688]

2021. Still. Wow. Breathtaking.

[@kpfettstyle]

This is an amazing cover. It's so raw and emotional just like the original version but in a totally different way. Where the original felt(to me) that he was singing to certain people and expressing his longing to be a normal person this one feels like she's singing to a specific person and longing to be normal enough for that person to care about her.

[@Miguelmaturen]

Been listening to this for almost 10 years on a weekly basis and neve will I ever get tired of it thanks thanks thanks❤

[@sy2823]

It's been years since I first heard this but I always find myself back here again, and it's always such an amazing experience. The way Manolakos' voice shoots straight through all the other sound, while everything else builds up underneath is so amazing. The harmonies are so TIGHT, and beautiful, and beautifully controlled. Hell, the entire band has amazing synergy in how they bounce off each other! Everyone supporting everyone else until they all merge into this incredible song. And the ending! It feels like the most beautiful, bittersweet goodbye. The keys mixing with the clapping, it just gets to me. Wonderful work from everyone involved

[@이동언-j9l]

creep에 대한 cover뿐만 아니라 내 인생 최고의 라이브 영상 중 하나. 여전히 찾아듣는 최고의 음악

[@Cordan821]

Why am I just now hearing this? Best cover of the song I have ever heard.

[@christinawood3996]

Cordan... I'm just now hearing this in September of 2019. Great cover.

[@carmelhenschel9792]

I'm sorry do you guys not know how impressive this is? SERIOUSLY. she hit a GODDAMN F#. that is unreal. I'm speechless. And by the way to all you haters, she probably DOES know how to work an iPhone, considering that she is a starving broadway actress/song writer/artist and needs to communicate with her agent if she can even get any sort of reading… STOP GIVING THIS WOMAN UNNECESSARY SLACK. I APPRECIATE PEOPLE WHO WILL GO THROUGH HELL JUST SO THEY CAN LIVE OUT THEIR DREAMS. In fact, I appreciate those type of people more than ANYONE. you go sister.

[@username55ify]

You do realize that the Iphone isn't the only phone in the world.

[@maiabibee6697]

leading vocals + backing vocals + piano & drum accompaniment makes this the best cover of creep hands down & maybe one of the best/most powerful cover i’ve ever heard

[@cliffenfuego]

The original of this song was written from a male perspective. This is what happens when this song is interpreted from the female perspective. And it's beautiful.

[@ijirving]

I was on the fence of this cover until the start of the build up at 2:25. Holy shit that was good!

[@kameleonmedia]

+ijirving crazy!!! i have goosebumps on that part.

[@ekorsembilan]

Wow, that bridge was pure magic.

[@JosephineDeSmet]

I just did a cover of this, but oh my this is amazing!!! her voice seems fragile at first but then when the bridge hits oh my!!! awesome!!!

[@swimdog75]

Still blows my mind !! And it is 2023. This cover is so in point !! 🔥🔥

[@vanya757]

You drew me in so softly, I wondered if it was going to happen, I waited longingly... then the explosion at the bridge. Best ever. Thank you.

[@joshmarx9196]

This is incredible. The buildup was perfect....she blew me away at 2:30

[@dustybox943]

i don't think i've ever managed to listen to this all the way through without crying at least a little bit

[@meizou5953]

this is toooooooo good...she really made it her own but still keeping the raw message of the song intact.

[@INeverMetaphorIDidntLike]

11 years later and still the BEST.... soooooo many people doing this song today blow the climax too early and then rearrange the whole bridge with riffs and key changes and it just kinda ruins the power... this keeps the original rage and structure but puts JUST enough spin on it with the harmony and piano build that it feels refreshed.... SO good, lol SO SO SO SO SO GOOD

[@MsSkittlez888]

from the moment she sang the first note, i had so many chills. the talent she possesses is beyond anything i could've imagined

[@TheMCP1138]

The backup singer is absolutely the best part of this -- anyone can slam out a melody, but the gorgeous harmony is so spot-on... it's a dang shame she's not the focus of the entire piece

[@HairFIip]

Well she is the "backup" singer... Her being the center/focus of attention would defeat the purpose. She's great, don't get me wrong, but she's not meant to "out perform" the lead.

[@TheBravoD]

Also I don't think 'anyone' could slam out THIS melody, did you hear how high she's singing?

[@hildymatildy1299]

+TheBravoD thats not high...for a soprano this are effortless notes, peactically nothing.

[@we1are1weird1for1you]

+Hildy Matildy yea its easy for a soprano. However singing a note in that range that loudly and so clearly is definitely more difficult. Tho I gotta say she's got insane vocal control.

[@joshuareynolds4525]

Yeah, not giving credit to this phenomenal performance, or making light of it, seems really lame and silly to me. She absolutely crushed it. And no, that isn't easy for a soprano, or anyone to do.

[@larrybarrjr.6720]

Such a beautiful combination of paying homage to the original AND putting your beautiful soul into this amazing song! Thank you!❤❤

[@vaniaviola]

Loved Creep from the moment i first heard it back in 93. Is timeless, more than just a song it's a masterpiece that will speak to millions & help them find their place for decades to come. This is easily the best of all the covers i've heard. She doesn't sing it, she pays tribute to it, spreading it like gospel to her fans. And to the 1,200 people that gave it a thumbs down.... No words.

[@tanyas.9688]

The BEST COVER IVE EVER HEARD OF ANY SONG HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!

[@YourFaceAgain]

From what I've seen, few covers of this song even attempt to really go for the "run" towards the end. Most of them know they can't pull it off and don't even try. They get it right here. Awesome.
