Davina Michelle - 'What About Us' l | Liefde voor Muziek | Seizoen 8 | VTM

[@dinojovanovic9319]

The back vocal nailing this with her. Wow. This is one amazing performance.

[@DerKiesch]

Didn't think it could get better than her original cover. I was obviously wrong. And yes I agree, that backing vocalist is the cherry on top.

[@matteedstrom]

Yea, she stood quit the whole performance. Best she could have done^^

[@DerKiesch]

@@matteedstrom The backing vocalist adding something on top doesn't take away anything from Davinas singing. It's sad that people think like that. Queen is not the greatest band ever because Freddy Mercury was the greatest singer. Queen is the greatest band ever because he knew that he had bandmates that could contribute to his singing and he knew exactly where and he knew what else they had to contribute. Having an ego of "I am the greatest and no one can improve on what I am doing" is the first step to failure.

[@matteedstrom]

@@DerKiesch The back vocalist did not even open her mouth during Davinas performance!!! So shut your face!!!

Even P!NK herself watched Davina sing it in a cover and said she sang it better then she did. And P!NK did it pretty damn good. So that's saying something. Especially when you get to sing at her Beautifull Trauma Tour. The range she has is exceptional and powerfull.

[@Roache93]

Davina even did a video basically saying "Pink made me famous." Wholesome stuff

Right on. Amazing 🤗

[@stefanmargraf7878]

She hit it, and she can feel it. Exceptional, but original is original. She is great.

[@bjarnyg]

just goes to show that it's more about the song than the voice. you could be the best singer in the world, but without (original) songs you're just wasting your talent.

[@EvansBrosRacing]

@@bjarnyg I don't agree at all that someone is wasting talent if they do covers , or sing other people's songs . I am sure there are some great singers who don't write songs . I love to hear good singers , and I was never concerned about who's song it is .

[@luisdanobeitiaalemany9426]

Nothing more to add👏

[@bman342a]

A rare, very rare, talent. Just special listening to her. How do you react when you hear something so special -- tears come to my eyes, and chills all over. Just everything about this performance is so perfect, her beauty, her presence, makeup, jewelry, hair, outfit, shoes, the lighting, the camera work, the editing, musicians, the reaction shots, her dynamics, and her movement -- such a natural performer, so much ease, yet so much emotion. Just amazing.

[@bookerdooley6739]

Your not lying I most definitely had a tears in my eyes this women slayed that song and most definitely made it hers I'm glad Pink agreed 👍💯

[@Confilicted]

I can't imagine any one not choking up the first time they hear Davina sing this cover of P!nk's What about us. I've seen it five times and I still have a lump in my throat. 9/24/2024 UPDATE Here I am...a year later...damned if I didn't choke up again. A.....MA.....ZING. And as someone else pointed out...the background vocalist was sublime.

[@brookskenna]

1st time. 9/27/'24. Choking. Broken.

[@IRV0116]

Incredible! She's no longer singing a cover, she finally made this her song. She reinvented this song with her essence! Love it! Phenomenal!

[@guidoheuts]

I dare to go even further, Pink might have written this, but when she realized Davina did a better job vocally then herself, the thought must've crossed her mind like; "Shit! I've wrote this, but this girl is acing this track, I might aswell give it to her". Pink will never admit this statement, (Nor should she) but deep down she realizes it's the truth. I don't want to take anything away from Pink, as she's a class singer/songwriter, but especially in this performance, she got outdone by Davina.

[@hectorjameson2764]

@@guidoheuts Pink already admitted that Davina sang it better💀

[@fisherbill]

When the original artist hears their song sung and they get goosebumps. That is all the confirmation you need. Pink is an outstanding artist and performer and she knew it when she heard this woman's voice. She is awesome!

[@raicogorter862]

Everyone is talking about Davina Michelle, but we are forgetting the backing vocalist. In the last part of this video she is rocking it with the harmony in the chorus! AMAZING!

[@loeskoot2164]

I totally agree with you. I know the backing vocal personally. She is incredibly musical, can sing many genres fantastically and her pronunciation is amazing. Without wanting to criticize Davina, I am often disturbed by her pronunciation (which could be just me). Musically and lyrically Davina is certainly very good. But I'm not really a fan to be honest.

[@raicogorter862]

@@loeskoot2164 in this song you must not see a singer as an individual. Nobody was talking about the backing vocalist but its the duet that makes is this so damn beautiful😁

[@johnwuyts]

die 30 seconden, nou wat geweldig.

[@johnwuyts]

@@loeskoot2164 die 30 seconden was ze goed, maar er is ooit 1 vocal bekend geworden en nog, Anita Meyer. Davina draagt dit nummer zelf, had die backing niet nodig.

[@loeskoot2164]

@@johnwuyts Eva draait al een dikke 20 jaar mee in de muziekwereld heeft vele bekende Nederlandse en Belgische artiesten mogen ondersteunen als backing, meerdere keren op grote podia gestaan en is een veel gevraagde en door de muziekwereld gewaardeerde backing. Als je maar 1 liedje kijkt zijn het idd "maar" 30 seconden. Maar denk eens alle backings weg, dan wordt een lied vaak echt veel kaler. Dat is ten minste hoe ik het beluister. Ik wil u niet overtuigen van de kwaliteiten van Eva-Jane. Ik WEET wat ze kan. Hoe ze liedjes naar een hoger plan kan trekken. Daarvoor hoeft het niet perse iemands ambitie te zijn om front te gaan zingen als bekende zanger. Ik heb haar vaak genoeg in een front rol mogen zien en iedere keer genoten. Ik zeg verder niks over of Davina haar "nodig" heeft. Ik spreek enkel mijn waardering uit voor wat hier gebeurde. That's all.

[@SoundManNo9]

Holy Cannolis! This is exactly why I dont compare talent anymore bc every time I think I've heard the most amazing voice, I hear another. Davina is truly gifted. Can't wait to hear more (:

[@alexandrabajic4451]

Gosh I wanna cry now. This girl's talent and voice are out of this world. I so much love the raspiness in her voice and the fact she sang live and in a rather laid-back way makes me admire her even more. Amazing!

[@tythepie9057]

Whoever engineered this arrangement is a rockstar. Her voice on its own is amazing and bringing in only one other harmony at the end could only work if the solo backup artist is also an amazing singer. Powerful and stuck on the brain.

[@erikdeleest]

Hoe vaker ik deze versie hoor, hoe meer ik me afvraag of het ooit nog beter is vertolkt.... Ik denk van niet eigenlijk. OMG wat een uitvoering is dit!!!

I’ve never heard anyone do a song better than the original yet sound like the original voice and sound so effortless. Her voice is so powerful and so effortlessly done in this song. Each word is so eloquently pronounced and cleanly pronounced too.

What about all the times you said you had the answers? What about us? What about all the broken happy ever afters? What about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? What about love? What about trust? What about us? We are problems that want to be solved We are children that need to be loved We were willin', we came when you called But man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh What about us? What about all the times you said you had the answers? What about us? What about all the broken happy ever afters? Oh, what about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? Oh, what about love? What about trust? What about us? Oh, what about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? What about love? What about trust? What about us? Sticks and stones, they may break these bones But then I'll be ready, are you ready? It's the start of us, waking up, come on Are you ready? I'll be ready I don't want control, I want to let go Are you ready? I'll be ready 'Cause now it's time to let them know We are ready, what about us? What about us? What about all the times you said you had the answers? So what about us? What about all the broken happy ever afters? Oh, what about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? Oh, what about love? What about trust? What about us?
