Foxes covers Pharrell's Happy in the Radio 1 Live Lounge

[@HollyRose1997x]

The original sounds like someone who is singing about happiness in their life in general but this version sounds like someone who is slowly learning to be happy, perhaps coming out of a depression or something.

[@calliopelove2079]

yes omg!

[@janefong1391]

I love this cover version and your explain! Thank you!

[@hollygolightly9572]

I saw it the same way! People seem not to get her version, but I love it

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

I'm baffled as to why anyone's complaining about this rendition being depressing. It's called art. She's taking a popular song, and pouring emotion into it for her own spin on things. The Pharell version still exists, y'know?

[@richsamuel2922]

Pharell tho.

[@Squad2SoiFon]

I LOVE the Teardrop sound in this. Amazing.

[@sagesharpe4099]

Took me a minute to put my finger on it

[@CASSIOPEIAMASHUPS]

The point IS that it sounds sad and depressing. The added voice over and overall sound are meant to change the meaning of the song. Her version is about a person or couple that seems happy but are really just putting on a facade. The Happy lyrics represent how they say they feel while the background music is their inner feelings. The Teardrop lyrics at the end represents them dropping the facade.

[@trapexzOfficial]

Great version of the song, got a little London Grammar vibe, which is nice!

[@only1mina]

Same thing I was thinking. :)

[@jazzandgeorgina]

This cover is amazing :O Shes just so talented!

[@LozzaO]

I kinda like this version, yes it's a change but that's what makes Live Lounge amazing. LOVE the Massive Attack sample.

[@Rafaela69]

This sounds like a remix of "Happy" with the "House M.D opening"

[@nmase88]

it doesnt sound like it... it is :/

[@ImmortalSparrow]

could have something to do with Massive Attack's "Teardrops" BEING the opening song for House M.D. =P

[@Skulked]

that is literally the first thing that came to mind.

[@GrizzlyAus]

I completely agree so awesome!

[@AidCan94]

That's what I was thinking the whole time. That's why I came down to the comments to make sure I wasn't crazy.

[@Car_toz]

In one word: absolutely happily bloody marvelously excellent!

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

I revisit this every few months. I love it

[@TheKawsik]

This is the most amazing rendition of a song I've ever heard. Sung beautifully. Shame that people react negatively to it. Great piece of art. The passion and the work behind it is marvellous

[@kelseydraper7038]

I would kill for Foxes to do a song with Bastille

[@tateaustinj]

That is such a great idea

[@MatthewHudsonOfficial]

I hope you like Better Love lol

[@melphoneme]

can you imagine? Foxes Bastille and Birdy

[@jackgibbs66-l4c]

I mean Better Love features Dan Smiths vocals in the chorus

[@summermoon]

That Teardrop riff is giving me House MD vibes. Good times.

[@jaredmills5569]

Wasn't expecting teardrop to be involved...simply WOW!!!!

[@DJRound1]

Goosebumps ! :) Amazing talented voice !

[@cainuk]

How she blended Teardrop with this amazed me! Such talent!

[@stephenmitchell4098]

I still come back to this every few months.....it's a simply stunning cover and still one of my top ten live lounge covers

[@vietchick201]

her version of Massive Attack is sickkkkk!!! wow. she's amazinggg.

[@MonsterHunter104]

Only Foxes can make such an upbeat song saf

[@lewisovhebn]

LOVE her voice.

[@BiliwichDrDotCom]

My happy place is a calm, ethereal voice filled room. Brings back good memories. This hit the spot for me to some extent. Saying this is sad is definitely not true for all people.

[@ashleyhughes7474]

Now that's a cover! So great!!

[@ellec6205]

People who are hating shut up this cover is unique and completely different to the orginal, so even if you think it doesn't work you have to applaud her for putting her own style on this song . I loved it.

[@r0xanne_d0ll]

I can't believe I've forgotten she existed. She's so talented, beautiful and charming. It's quite sad how she's not recognized that much in the industry. I really miss her.

[@SimpsonGolfCaddy]

After 27 years of abusing music this is the most beautiful song I've ever come across. Goose bumps every time incredible.

[@Daniboy2099.]

Woaaa!! Massive attack song! Love it! !

[@hannaahjones]

the piano is teardrop by massive attack, love it!

[@corriekane-thom7918]

I am in love with this tune! What a cover!

[@LichtorWright_]

Completely awesome mashup. Taking two songs that mean exact polar opposites and blending them together.. Amazing!

[@nelvis290]

I absolutely love the way they incorporated the beat/melody of Massive Attack Teardrop!

[@concretepoo]

beautiful, love the massive attack part, really tells a story.

[@bballkid95]

I would kill to hear foxes do a full cover of Teardrops

[@CASSIOPEIAMASHUPS]

Same

[@jimmyp410]

I definitely prefer this version. She took a gimmick and turned it into a song that has emotions.

[@OVGryffindor]

This is fab omg. Loving this cover! It's so sad though omg...

[@APR944]

I really don't have the right words to express how deeply I feel about this song. She has an Amazing Voice beyond her years. And I feel almost a sense of Vu' watching this young girl and hearing her Impeccable Voice. She reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse, and I say that with utmost Love and Respect for the both of these Women as Artists. Thank You. Xo's

[@NawnyOM]

Such a beautiful cover! Incredible..

[@hailiemonroe]

She's amazing❤️

[@XxToltecPhantomxX]

God I love this so much, her voice, the Teardrop sample...ahhh bliss

[@LadyPi16]

Genius. Happy turned sad. I love it so much. Foxes is the cutest ever.

[@itsmejt9283]

I can't stop looping this the last solo part just catch me Love it!!

[@savanim4686]

Love this

[@ha-shatangrey6933]

Wow, she just totally blew my mind, my ears, my eyes... I mean, damn she totally remade this song, its feeling and overall meaning. What a true artist. I am in love too btw.

[@zoozoo42laroja]

I love how they mashed it up with massive attack. Well done!

[@koree225]

her laugh !!! she naild it !!!

[@BeagleandBacon]

She's magic

[@jenkwok4385]

Brilliant arrangement, beautiful voice. Yes to Massive Attack.

[@jax395]

It takes real talent to be able completely change the sound of a popular chart song. I think it's fab, loving the Teardrops mix.

[@michaeltriolo7536]

That was pure Art . Beyond creative

[@jellytotz1985]

Love this so much!

[@BIRDDUDE830]

LOVED the Massive Attack break.

[@larissalphonse]

I personally admire what she did. It's not only singing it's also understand every words of the song and that's what she did and I congrats her for this wonderful cover.

[@JoseRodriguez-dn3kt]

Whoever watches X factor Uk, now we know lauren platts cover wasnt thatt original, it copy this one!!! she needs to go next elimination round!

[@robertconnolly2910]

love this version

[@RTbookworm]

This was amazing! Loved this.

[@sitinursiami7240]

Daaaaamnnn love this so much

[@Ethanius02]

Why is everyone hating on this. This is just her type of music and she is just singing it in her own style. She is a beautiful singer and artist so everyone just shut it.

[@kathyjohnson3717]

Saw this live the other night and it was just as incredible! :))

[@BionicOne77]

If anything it's a breath of fresh air. The original is played over and over and over again on all channels.

[@NGBFOSandS]

totally put a crazy spin to this song I didnt even know what song it was till the chorus. I can dig it

[@khaliladagistani3568]

This cover has made this song bearable ❤️❤️

[@lucihopkins9743]

How can people hate on this?! I mean I know your entitled to your own opinion but I can't get enough of it. It joins two of my favorite songs in perfect matrimony !xx

[@Aurora-yc9vb]

so different! amazing!

[@aquariusnot_real6491]

She owned this song and made it her own

[@Stepintomycloset]

stunning cover!

[@sibbymartin6897]

Amazing I love this xxx

[@ieuanchandlerwilson322]

This is fricking awesome I love it !!!!!!

[@tazzikins23]

In love!! Music that dances with your heart :) x

[@mickhopkin]

Do more of this stuff. Fantastic.

[@mohman87]

Phenomenal cover. Stripped down and taken from a different angle. I can see why Pharrell is bringing her on his tour.

[@CynderDragoneye]

just amazing

[@rossy360]

You put teardrop in anything I'll be a fan

[@Joshua083]

Best cover of this song I've seen yet

[@KickinK79]

Totally love this........amazing!

[@brightblind]

Her voice is beautiful

[@imuplateagain]

If this song is called "happy" why am I crying?

[@artesque]

2:02 If you don't make it this far, you shouldn't comment. Really good cover.

[@JessieKhoo]

i really loved this mash up woww

[@MattRosemier1]

Beautiful!

[@LightsRaining]

This is fantastic!!!

[@wesbroersen1845]

You shouldn't think that if the song is called happy that it is happy! And it's a cover! I think it's fantastic

[@lepeicious]

love her voice!

[@joerunicles9198]

i love the way the singer sings. his voice is incredible. so powerful. kinda reminds me of luther van dross or maybe even tom jones. love it. also loved the live full string quartet that were playing. the guitar solo was also amazing. love this guy and his band

[@lukamcghie6312]

breathtaking.

[@MrIrreversible]

she's just so perfect

[@heathermk17]

Her voice is amazing!

[@crankcase12]

Brilliant ,love the hands.

[@SanjediMasta]

Perfection!

[@charlottejude4842]

This was amazing!!!

[@mattparnell]

What a beaut of a cover !!

[@gloriacoronado4121]

Love her voice, great version !

[@mattparnell]

Still loving this👌 love Foxes😄

[@stylinzon]

I looove this

[@MarekMiller1]

Probably the saddest Happy ever recorded

[@weinchester]

You should listen to Leona Lewis - Happy

[@MarekMiller1]

omg, I just did. Is there anything I can cut my wrists with?

[@KennyFame]

Marek Miller good point

[@IsraelFerrera]

This version is better than the other one, original is too monotone the same and the same again and again, this one is great!!!! 10/10

[@ieuanchandlerwilson322]

This is awesome I love it

[@Sim0n98]

Keep your arms still, love.

[@kellyyto]

Simon..... she is fine. If you see Lorde singing live you might think she has a stroke, but this is just a way an artist is expressing his singing

[@CoreyDanielMckinney]

Jeez let the girl enjoy herself.

[@ANDUAN93]

lol you'd prob freak out if you were to see voice actors at work then. nothing but swinging arms and hands.

[@danzkiko]

It helps her sing dude.

[@tuneup200]

Amazing cover!!!

[@sophiejackson8740]

I love this!!!

[@KiaraWinfreyKilpatrickSkyAriel]

This is amazing.

[@monkeydriftuk997]

Goose bumps everytime.
