Lorde covers Jeremih's Don't Tell 'Em in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for Annie Mac

[@jamescioffi3796]

You know it's usually the people most insecure about themselves who are the first to comment and say criticize the way someone else acts. She's dancing having a good time, and singing just enjoying herself. Sorry you are all so insecure about yourselves that you have to insult her for doing what feels right.

[@britneybear]

She killed this. Everyone wants her to be the typical everyday artist but the thing is she's not. She's being herself and last time I checked her being herself is the reason she won 2 Grammys at 17 years old and had a number one album the biggest thing you haters ever won was free fries from McDonald's

Very talented. That little dance she does is awesome. It's her thing. Every artist has some little thing they do when in the studio. It's pretty wicked. A little funny to see, but she owns it. I love it. To me it's one of those things only that person can do.

[@bre2023]

[@tanito349]

i like that shes feeling it, thats important

[@ManpreetBadyal]

Her gestures are so addictive to watch! And the way she croons 'Don't tell'em' is so amazing. She's such an astonishing performer, surprises me all the time. Frankly, I don't deem her gestures to be any different than those of an American rap artiste, so everyone needs to introspect a bit here and appreciate the performance we just saw.

[@SunshineKarebare]

I love how comfortable she is with herself. I love her!

[@antonellabegue351]

[@jordy407]

I hope Lorde doesn't come on here and see the negativity and let it phase her. I love her, and this performance. It's not my favorite by her no, but she's having such a good time and she's enjoying herself. She looks so secure in her style and that's more you can say for most girls in general. Lorde dances like she's alone in her room on national television, that's just her courage and her uniqueness and I think it's brilliant she's teaching her fans to be courageous and secure rather than teaching them how to feel insecure and to write about sex, partying, or how to walk around looking undressed. So yeah, I love Lorde.

Lol people hate on her just because she doesn't conform to your idea of a typical 18 year old "pop star." Lorde's a musician. And she can actually sing for a change. Plus I think she's a great entertainer, it's great to see someone so into their music they're oblivious to what people think of them. She's fucking badass!

[@jonseykingi7637]

How can people sit behind their computers or phones or whatever they're using and say such horrible things to lorde? She's amazingly cool and down to earth. Are Americans just used to the Hollywood style??? She's one of the only artists in the music industry that i can stand. I swear people are always complaining about such little things. I really hope lorde isn't reading the KZbin comments. It's sooooo harsh and cruel

[@jonseykingi7637]

Exactly^^

[@hushiechan]

tru got mad respect for Lorde coz of her passion and going after what she love most at a very young age... the way she danced in this video is cool too :)

[@JinxyVision]

Totally agree. I dont go on KZbin to bash artists i dont like.. why use the time you have to talk down to people that literally have nothing to do with your life simply because you cant stand them??

[@fokinmohena]

everyone is uncomfortable and angry because a girl cant cover a song, wear the clothes she likes, sing the way she does, or dance how she wants. basically, anything outside of the tightly knit societal bounds that the world has set in place confuses everyone and then makes them angry. angry over someone who does things a little differently then they do. why do you care so much? pathetic ps: look how cute she is at 3:33 how can u hate that

[@acornsoundsquirrel]

Such an accurate comment

[@CeeStyleDj]

Award for comment of the year. Amen.

[@joovaniwwf]

agree whit you.

[@Chibi_Bendrix]

Everyone gets a bit chuffed when their favourite song gets changed. Particularly when the original genre and the genre of the cover are on two seperate planets stylistically. It's like taking Eric Clapton's iconic 'Layla' and covering it in a punk rock style. People would absolutely riot at the bastardisation. Covering a song in a completely different genre alienates the people who originally found the song interesting, that's why everyone is kicking up a fuss.

[@Isabella-qg3qe]

You are so right. Thank you

[@custufus]

She looked like she was having fun with it. I like that its not a typical song you would think of when you think Lorde.

[@alishab7117]

I dont even know how she mastered that song. It seems like a really complicated song to sing

[@lauren3753]

lorde is incredible and a genius and inspires me everyday. its been amazing growing up with her

[@samanthazimmerman8588]

I actually like the way she dances. It reminds me of me. And I like knowing that such an awkward dancer can become such a huge pop star.

[@beautyjunkiee13]

her dancing is so funny but you can tell she's getting into the music and that's important in an artist because nowadays most artists look so bored of singing the same songs over and over again.

[@bowwow8620]

It's true. Some singers only care about looking pretty on stage while singing, so they those ridiculous poses.

[@joshbensen02]

+XiaoZian I know! How stressful what it be to have to dance absolutely in sync every second of the song... Lorde just does whatever the hell she wants and it works.

[@lstedmanfalls]

You can see how precisely she feels each beat, the rhythm of the song quite literally compels her to move in certain ways. I get this way too. It's about feeling the music.

[@DQNPRSN]

Lorde is so freaking pretty!

[@Jacoby_T08]

I agree

[@lyka1328]

I think her voice is beautiful and mesmerising. She's doing her thing and it's refreshing to see an artist be so passionate and be in the moment while performing. When lorde performs she doesn't care what anyone thinks. She's just doing her thing and her voice is just unique.

[@ITookYourFaceGaming]

The people laughing at the way she acts when singing are clearly not musicians, for they do not understand the passion an artist gets when they perform.

[@colorgush]

ART. This cover hit ALL of my aesthetic expectations, right down to the purposely awkward dance moves that make it even more aesthetically pleasing because it creates the whole character of this version of the song. This was perfect for her. LOOOVE.

[@smiggle010]

I love how confident she is. Not only about her physical appearance but she has also entered the music industry, which is so harsh, and kept who she is as a person. She is such a wonderful idol for her young fans and the people who 'hate' her need to shut up to be honest.

ThisIsDjYigytugd That's true but she is the minority. It's quite naive to imply that appearance isn't of extreme importance to gain success in the entertainment industry here in the states. Um do you really think Beyoncé would be where she is if she didn't look like that and sell sex the way she does? Be real. And it's not "American stereotypes" it's the entertainment industry and how it operates. Don't be a fool

This is DOPE! SO f**king good. And the song itself is totally suited to her. She owns her style (music, fashion, moves, they all go together) and rocks it hard. Loosing yourself in the music is an awesome thing, it'd be crap if she just stood there, that's not Lorde. Lorde is this super talented human being you see getting lost in the music!

I'm from the same city as her. Kiwi artists are nothing like American or European "Pop Stars". Music is apart of the culture and we embrace it with one another. We don't put people down for being themselves. We encourage uniqueness and that's what our music industry is like. We don't need to listen to the same thing everyday. Switching it up and putting our own twist on something makes things better. Specially when a song is thrashed so much you hate it

[@lilac_dream_team]

Lorde is one of the few artists out there who you can see and hear that they really FEEL the music.

I hope remains true and does not get absorbed into the generic music and style of so many other musicians out there.

[@PopperWeirdoFreakKWA]
