She does a pretty decent job I think. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RlIdVb3W_ZM ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 May 2007 11:40:14 -0400 From: "Paul Blair" Subject: Re: Kate covers It is a decent job, but to me she seems to be trying so hard to duplicate Kate's vocal style that your focus goes to the places that it doesn't match exactly. Not that I don't like it; I like the rock electric guitar for instance. But for me it's not a keeper. I had a look at some of the other "Running Up that Hill" videos in the links. Placebo has an original take on the song, but I agree with the comment that said, "It's missing the urgency of the original needed to convey that state when you're in love and completely not in control of yourself. This version sounds like a suicide note." http://youtube.com/watch?v=TO2R22bylL0 Then there's the Within Temptation version, which could have avoided cheesiness if they'd been more willing to resist musical cliches: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4HsgjpbBPnQ On 5/13/07, Dave wrote: > Looking for videos of French singer Nolwenn Leroy, I came upon a cover > she did of Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill".
