Back when the cover was posted there were quite some salty comments about her pronunciation. I remember asking myself what's wrong with these people. This cover is absolutely amazing. I think by now it seems like there were no negative comments in the first place, so I understand your perspective. The good thing is that the positive comments have overtaken the negative comments.

This is actually very well done. People who don't understand the lyrics obviously don't appreciate the song enough to know them in the original. It's not Postmodern Jukebox's fault.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

It's not like they bothered enunciating in the original either.

[@strawberyfish4908]

Or just don't have subtitles. I do. I put them.

[@velvert8998]

This is a cover. Not only that, but its a cover purposely done in a fairly different style. I can understand what people are coming from in what they're saying about the vibrato and all that, and how its not good for Goriallz and all that, or that Robyn Adele Anderson could have done it better but heres the thing- This is a stylizied cover, in the style of Vintage Ella Fitzgerald, a singer back in 1950s-1960s, around that, but I'm not 100% sure on the exact era. I've listened to a few of her songs briefly (note how I said briefly- I havent listened to an entire album or something like that. I skipped around a few songs and listened just enough to get what her style was because I wanted to see how the singer of this cover did in replicating it.) and Thia has done a wonderful job at executing the style. From what ive heard, a lot of Ella's songs have a lot of vibrato. Thia had quite a bit of emphasis on it, yes, but it works just fine. This isnt supposed to be as trippy or eccentric as the original song, since that wouldn't genuinely go with the genre this cover is performed in. Yes, its not a match made in heaven, but they chose a different style and you can hear that its indeed a cover. And of course, you're allowed to simply not enjoy the style, that's perfectly fine. You're allowed to still completely disagree with me, I'm not gonna be a pissbaby and screech at you. Opinions are opinions, so I thought I'd share mine

[@kapski_]

I think it’s a lot more than a “fairly” different style.

[@ninaciriello8346]

I agree with your assessment 1000%. She captures the genre and style of Ella Fitzgerald perfectly. I would pay money to see this performed live.

[@aaly.aaly.oxenfree]

velvert Personally I’m not a huge fan of when Robyn does covers like this anymore. Sometimes she kills it, but there are many times that she’ll sing it with the original style to a totally different beat and it sounds weird and wrong. I actually do love this cover though. It’s blended together nicely and I think she captured both the Gorrillaz and Ella Fitzgerald fairly well.

[@jaydenslaptop]

well said

[@soldierx345]

Personally I love the jazz vocal vibrato compared to the new stuff, way more soulful

[@MetalDiamondtake]

I feel kinda bad for the drummer in these videos since most of the time he's hidden behind the singer :/

[@michaelmarinas6144]

Nicolas Boyer I'm beginning to think that this is done on purpose...

[@orangeleprachaun4723]

Nicolas Boyer I have been here since 2013 and I am pretty certain that it is on purpose. I don't think that it would have been necessary to have him hidden so it might be a personal choice or something

[@ridermendeke2043]

I could listen that first chorus, with just the piano, the bass, a little back beat and her voice, over and over again.

[@paulrobinson1458]

Obsessed with this version. Thia's voice and style are OUTSTANDING.

[@OSCARMlLDE]

I'll be honest, I can't understand the lyrics any better now

[@Hulavuta]

lmfao

[@simongransden]

exactly what i was thinking. without sounding rude, it sounds like an eastern european attempting english by copying what she thinks the lyrics are lol.

[@GwresYnKernow]

The noises she makes are pleasant enough, but I think calling them "lyrics" is a bit of a stretch.

[@simongransden]

Yeah you put it better than i. Haha

[@gilly508]

It's something you see a lot with the singers here (Haley's another), and probably what separates some from going professional- Great tone, timbre etc but no diction whatsoever. I'm nowhere the quality of singer of these guys but diction was the FIRST thing my vocal teachers drilled.

[@tomsanone]
