[@djdome]

she has the best sing-whisper voice of all time.

[@adrianr108]

That's exactly it

[@d0nj03]

I mean there's also Billie Marten, but the problem I have with her discography is that most of her songs that I find interesting and re-listenable melodically have melancholic/depressive vibes, and I'm rarely in the mood for that lately, with everything that's going on in the world.

[@krispatmo]

Chills man, just chills up the spine

[@finbarshields]

her and billie eilish

[@pedrolahbarroca9787]

Different vibe but give MARO a listen. Her Tiny Desk concert came out very recently

[@Category5]

Sweet! Really digging Lizzy McAlpine! Go dig up her originals. She is as good a writer as she is a singer. Gobs of talent.

[@nijatxaliyev]

Hi guys,I released my new song " Pray4love " on my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6q1kIV_g51oaNE Hope you like it

[@justforfun-n6e]

She’s the best

[@N3ptune3254]

Fr , I love her voice so much ❤

[@piloppa7]

omg...her voice just like the softest, sweetest, fluffiest thing in the world.... the beautiest whisper straight in to your soul 🙏

[@nabilinho]

Her falsetto and control are 🔥🔥🔥 More Lizzy please!!! Loved this rendition.

[@treis88]

The queen itself singing dancing queen Her tone is so beautiful

[@eamanemiriel]

LYRICS Friday night and the lights are low Looking out for a place to go Where they play the right music Getting in the swing You come to look for a king Anybody could be that guy Night is young and the music's high With a bit of rock music Everything is fine You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen You're a teaser, you turn 'em on Leave 'em burning and then you're gone Looking out for another Anyone will do You're in the mood for a dance And when you get the chance You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen Dancing queen Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah You can dance You can jive Having the time of your life Ooh, see that girl Watch that scene Digging the dancing queen Digging the dancing queen

[@Jdbondur]

I was fortunate enough to perform in “mamma Mia” on Broadway and I can honestly say-this is not only the best interpretation of this song I’ve heard, but maybe the first time I’ve actually enjoyed listening to it. Perfect voice, perfect style. Bravo.

[@fernandoherranz4095]

I agree. When we hear the original, I don't think we often HEAR what a great song it is. Not until Lizzy here completely kills it with that amazing voice. Brava!

[@homonnaizsolt]

I have learnt the value of purity and acoustics. Now, my friends, it just doesn't get any better than this. Kudos to everybody participating in this.

[@mostguitarswins]

What a sweet surprise; such a tender interpretation of the original. I'll be keeping an eye out for more music from Lizzy McAlpine 👏👏👏👏

[@juanbarbero1252]

Go listen to her album Give Me a Minute, it's great

[@PeterCleff]

Geez, One of the most beautiful vocal tones ever. Perfect performance all round people. A new favorite.

[@elrafa782]

I love Ryan’s face. He seems so serious, gentle, implicated not to make mistake and serve the song. Awesome cover. Delicate.

[@storiesacoustic]

i love your face too 😬

[@JMac-27]

This is the first time I cried to this song. This version brings innocence in a different way. Lizzie is just magic. Has become one of my top favorite singers and I've been around since the 80s and I'm a huge music lover. Seriously this girl is special. I cannot believe I found her from a short. It's criminal artists like this ride under the radar but she deserves her own airspace so just fly girl, you're incredible

[@ChitFromChinola]

Hey, now that was cool. Beautifully done. I’ve heard that song 1.4 million times, but this might be the first time I’ve heard the lyrics.

[@brendadotter4433]

Exactly! And the lyrics are wonderful.😆😆

[@ava-jg6tf]

same

[@ricarders]

Lizzy is quickly becoming one of my favorite singers. Amazing cover guys!

[@sam-wt4sj]

lizzy!!! stories!! a musical match made in heaven

[@billbaldwin3564]

She has the sweetest, most comforting, rich, pure, beautiful tone of voice I’ve ever heard and she knows instinctively how to deftly and artistically use it to create emotion. She’s an incredible talent not to mention the fact that I’m totally in love with her.

[@camofrog]

I never realized how great this song was until hearing this. Utterly enchanting.

[@priscillac7410]

lizzy has the loveliest vocal timbre in the history of ever

[@ckbaser]

Softly sung, unpretentious, and heartfelt... what more can you ask for

[@jasonboltz8255]

Lizzy, this is one hell of a performance!!!! Beautiful phrasing and a world class voice!!!

[@David_Thompson]

Wasn't sure I was going to enjoy an Abba cover - but you put a beautiful spin on it Lizzy, I love it!

[@kevingriffin9893]

Another beautiful and totally original take on a great song. Regardless of the lineup, you guys always deliver, thanks ~

[@Sukabarakobama]

The tastiest sound of all the variants posted on the Internet. Lizzy has a terrific timbre and great craftsmanship! I wish you more creative achievements! Sorry for the bad English.

[@relaxingsounds1386]

She just keeps killing it over and over and over . . .

[@astroandyborgloh]

Lizzy absolutely has to work with Jacob Collier and John Mayer. That would be insane :-) Wait, she DID work with them? Well, this IS absolutely beautiful, amazing, wonderful.

[@TNCMusicS]

daaaaammmmnnnn, sooo goooood!!!!! WE LOVE U LIZZY!!!! 😍

[@benripka6977]

Sung like this it almost sounds reminiscent… absolutely beautiful don’t get me wrong, but it’s like somebody who’s looking back at the days they used to spend out dancing, nervous and excited about life and it’s potential.

[@taengooss]

I love listening to Lizzy's covers because I know she can add a lot of flavor to the song as if it's her own. Talent. Just pure talent. 😩❤️ Also, to those who just met her here, please check out her songs. She's an amazing artist!!!❤️❤️

[@j.j.p.5475]

Wow, spiky hairs. This song has a soul of its own.

[@onixtheone]

I should be asleep right now, but I’m already dreaming 🫶🏻

[@johnpickering4579]

excellent musicians here, thanks

[@grahamstaples8559]

Wow that was great! Thought I had heard every version of that song over the years but I was very pleasantly surprised. I will check out her other songs now.

[@persandholt]

amazing... I love the choice of making this melancholic - it's a completely new depth to the song.

[@b1_ferg]

Ok, so as someone who thinks all ABBA covers are atrocious.....you've absolutely won me over. Your voice is something else, Lizzy. The level of control you have is ethereal. And I keep seeing Ryan Lerman as your guitarist? Like....what?! What a legend. I keep seeing him pop up more and more and I'm glad. Awesome, awesome cover guys! If I could leave the Shia LaBeouf standing ovation gif here, I would. This was fantastic.

[@taquangthangofficial]

So emotional. Love it.

[@elliottdmann]

Killer voice. Great guitar arrangement. I don't love the original song, but y'all did such an amazing job with it. Well done.

[@armchairzen]

Lovely job, all three. Bravo! And that angelic voice...

[@jeremiahgallagher]

Incredible talent. This is - really - sensational work

[@jeremyheartriter2.063]

This version brings a different interpretation to the song and i love it. It feels like a pov of an old person reflecting on the lost joy of being young.

[@melvinsamson1378]

Not belting, so much sweeter. Such lightness, yet such warmth…

[@linkpaivichit7651]

I subscribed to @LizzyAlpine earlier this year. Sad that I had just come across this talent, but happy she’s not going unnoticed. So HAPPY!!

[@greyjay9202]

Soft as a feather. A beautiful voice.

[@dwb468]

(6) completely lost souls. Well done Lizzy!

[@BryceRogers_]

Masterful vocals

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Congratulations Ryan on finally reaching the silver play button. Quite frankly I'm surprised it didn't happen ... within the first six months of the channel debuting. And ALSO, nice seeing Tiana on this and Lizzy KILLED it.

[@UkiMalefu]

wow, beautiful

[@wobbphillipworrall1426]

Such a pretty and wonderfully natural voice

[@9090MUSICLOVER]

Beautifully. Like more than original❤️

[@Helloohorse]

Always stunning !

[@md-ps2hx]

Stunning! ...

[@kane804]

Excellent vibe (and mix) on this track!

[@davidtembo2354]

This one hits differently

[@BernardoRosaRamirez]

Lizzy’s voice is so sweet that I can’t hear her without having to pump some extra insulin

[@tjcint]

So tender, so sensitive, so extremely beautiful ...

[@BlueL1n3]

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of ABBA but I love this cover. I can't stop listening to it.

[@jehanmontante8608]

I LOVE YOUUU LIZZY 💎✨❤️❤️

[@jostkosak7546]

This is just awesome. I am speachless.

[@danielmarkwolf]

This is so absolutely lovely!!! 😍🎶👏🏼🔥

[@wekabird886toktown7]

Amazing

[@Boasandhi27]

Hello from the other side

[@tonvaldi]

Yep!, it definitely means slow.

[@LightsOnTrees]

Wow almost a pathos in your vibe.

[@nicotuanoiii4930]

Very Nice ❤

[@ConradHeiligCover]

I fell in love with her spirit.

[@geoffmichelle1161]

I love this story, beautiful acoustic version. Was Ryan’s guitar tuned down? Sounds amazing!

[@joshnezon]

I think it's a baritone guitar, tuned B-B typically!

[@buzzoyun]

It has flatwounds and a hot rails type pickup. It has a rubber instead of a bridge and the strings are attached to the tailpiece. Ariel has the same type of thing they sound amazing through amp.

[@RickJohnson]

So pure (and not autotuned)! Love this tender interpretation!

[@antoinesurot6742]

Sweet!

[@johnventura1637]

I have to say I am not an ABBA fan - I considered their music plebeian. But I was wrong. I'm still not an ABBA fan, but I am a fan of their music...........as long as Lizzy McAlpine performs it.

[@mikesmithson6805]

ABBAs music is high quality music. That's why they're the 2nd most influential group of all time behind the Beatles. U have the worst pair of ears.

[@johnventura1637]

@@mikesmithson6805 My ears work fine. It's my brain that is the problem 😁

[@taylorhardaway8031]

I’m curious how scary pockets picks out the songs, does the singer choose or what?

[@CoffeeTXqueen]

I was today years old when I found out this is on Spotify so naturally I listened to it on repeat eleventy billion times.

[@zelonandrew7943]

What a way to start off the week. Stunning

[@gunk378]

the BREATH CONTROL I MEAN

[@cleanmuadzin7129]

Oh my god!🖤

[@daniellesossella6970]

Que delícia iniciar a semana com um vídeo desses!!!

[@markriffey8899]

I love discovering someone who I think is a brilliant cover artist, and then to discover that they have merit writing and performing their own material.

[@brucei.8711]

Heard this cover on the Sirius XM Coffee House station today. Beautiful cover of a beautiful song. Great job Lizzy McAlpine..!!

[@raystaar]

Wow. Lizzy and company deliver an unvarnished arrangement that reveals this ABBA smash it for what it is: a timeless classic.

[@gabrielkirby73]

…wow

[@bluzedogg]

I'm pretty sure this is her song now. great freaking cover.

[@sfbsfb]

Happy to see Tiana! Great performance by all.

[@Aehallh207]

okay...this is way too less watched O_O

[@WalkerTexMusic]

Gotta Say I am a sucker for a good cover of this song! Love your voice!

[@sergio.andrade95]

this is so beautiful!! Congrats on your work, Lizzy

[@zechariahdemshar8696]

It's as if it's a lullaby...

[@cddencklau]

Outstanding voice with control and feels on a classic rock tune...result...beauty! :)

[@sennabullet]

tears fall every single time. there is a tmbre in Lizzy's interpretation that is so sublime...i

[@medicmandan]

the girl with the amazing hair is back!

[@RajivSamaroo]

Where does that Lofi guitar tone come from???

[@headbangingidiot]

This is so smooth!

[@paulramos5373]

This gets my vote over the Scary Pocket version ;)

[@joaopedromarri6410]

lizzy is great!

[@2009discostew]

beautiful. paired back and just lovely. Great version

[@rangermorg]

sheesh, not this giving me a bit of chills

[@martinbuhr116]

Beautiful singing. Accompaniment so sparse and spot on.

[@rather-reverend]

Perfect! I loved that one.

[@ngdmcuong]

Is that Nick's girlfriend from New Girl ?

[@SaiChooMusic]

Why the switch to the Sennheiser from the Earthworks?

[@АнтонГужов-ю2ф]

Я глубоко поражен. Похоже гитары не особо нужны, они больше для антуража и красоты.

[@dbauernf]

Flawless!
