[@miraworldus]

Florence JUST rocks...

[@TheWhitehorseman1]

She is an extreme introvert, on the personality test, Myers-Briggs-INFP-Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving (Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition) Other famous INFP's are, C.C. Lewis, Edgar Allen Poe, J.K. Rowling, Jude Law, Virginia Wolff-( Florence wrote "what the water gave me about her"), William Shakespeare, Kurt Cobain, Vincent Van Gogh, George Orwell, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Helen Keller. I am an INFP as well and was instantly drawn to Florence, it takes a lot of guts for an introvert to perform live, she pulls it off!

[@BetchesInTheOutfield]

+Wylliam Reichart I'm INFP as well, and Flo is my favorite artist! :)

[@jellykid5098]

[@kellabeckett9232]

she deserves so much more popularity

[@deangriffin8312]

Kella The Killjoy are you kidding? shes SO popular! she is headlining massive festivals this summer and her own shows are selling out on the days they go on sale. shes insanely popular. she worked her way up to the top and she deserves being with the biggest acts on the planet

[@kellabeckett9232]

Dean Griffin I meant where i live. She needs to be popular than those shitty singers. That's what I meant.

[@deangriffin8312]

i get that. i wish she was more popular than ariana grande or that shit. but in "alternative rock" (i guess that's what you'd call her music? idk) she's very popular. i know what you mean though :/

[@npnpnp858]

Dean Griffin I like her voice, but she is boring to watch to. Not really a performer, in my opinion and sadly. I like her.

[@dilaudid1]

***** There are a lot of videos out there of her live performances that I think are very exciting.

[@MaryamZahidAnObsessiveArrowFan]

she deserves all the Grammys. this woman is oozing TALENT

[@giuseppegrasso376]

cu

[@charlottel6381]

She should have an orchestra with her, like 24/7

[@Raupekaa]

She did a live show at the Albert Hall with a orchestra, it's crazy

[@zhenyilani4535]

After making Breath of Life in 2011, she asked her manager if she could bring the orchestra and the choir with them on tour for that song and her manager was like "Flo, we can't afford this!!!!" because that is a shit ton of people

[@bloopdaddy]

@@zhenyilani4535 yeah lol

[@prajvalj]

Only Florence can make you feel she's still singing even when she's completely owning the rap section.

[@TERPWAVE]

I still love how she says “I hope we can do it justice” as if it wasn’t a hundred times better than the original

[@antecule6349]

Depends if you're talking about Riri and Drake or Gill Scott 😏

[@oayabacnhoj6855]

I love how people continue to denounce Drake's version but what they don't realise is that the beautiful words Florence is singing came ultimately from the genius that is Drake. Rap is just as beautiful and powerful as poetry.

[@RocMerc]

I agree with you completely. I do love this version but that does not make Drakes any less then wonderful.

[@igenie3641]

Rap is poetry where have you been......

[@webevoke]

Wrong. The lyrics were Gil Herons. Drake and Rihanna's version was a cover, see below comments. I do like Drake's version too though!

[@lainemagubane9704]

they would be stupid not acknowledge that he wrote a beautiful song, but you and i know that can't really beat Florence on vocals on his best day, because he is a rapper. But Florence just killed it with this rendition. P.S. just saying do not attack me.

Its funny how absolute idiots say that Drake is a crap artist & praise Florence...but Florence wouldn't even agree with these idiots because she says Drake is one of her favs...people are so fucking stupid. Florence wouldn't even want them as fans.

[@Joseph963]

There's loads of artists out right now that fit that description.

[@andres2705]

Take Drake himself, lately he's been doing a lot of that. Too Good is a song that stresses on lyrics and sung verses. not only those of Rihanna. The Weeknd, tho he's more R&B. Jidenna and Sampha are mic examples I've been listening to lately :)

[@SmessedUpSquirrel]
