Every credit to Lorde. She’s visibly shy as she walks out on stage. Who wouldn’t be shy going on stage with Dave and Krist to perform this song at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?! At 00:36 when Dave comes in with the drums, you can see something switches inside her, she gets in the zone and she becomes completely immersed in the music. She’s not just singing, she’s feeling the music. As soon as the song ends she goes back into her shell and becomes visibly shy again. People calling her moves have only ever listened to music and never truly felt a piece of music and that’s a shame for them. This performance is brilliant. For 3 minutes Lorde gave it her all and let Dave and Krist’s music take over her and paid a great homage to Kurt. She has my respect.
@@greghomewood4190 If you were really into rock music instead of being into "rock myths", I could point out to you some great records filled with guitars that came out after 1994 - like Radiohead's OK Computer, The Strokes' Is This It, PJ Harvey's Let England Shake, St. Vincent's Strange Mercy and Idles' Joy As An Act of Resistance -, it's a shame people can't get over the past
I had no opinion of Lorde until I saw this. As someone who grew up in the grunge era...who knew exactly where they were when they heard the news about Kurt Cobain's death...this is a fantastic and haunting tribute. Crazy mad respect for Lorde...she fucking CRUSHED it!
Lol some of you are so wrong about her. The funny part is, if Kurt were alive he would love her just like Bowie did. Y'all don't know shit about what a good cover is, you just don't want anyone singing a Nirvana song. Kurt wouldn't care.
People gives opinion of their own...not worst than you talking in the name of someone who never had a clue about your existence (And vice versa). Even if you were even born in the days Cobain could't care less...
lmao so true. kurt loved to poke fun at music, i mean, have you heard some of the mans guitar solos? he likely wouldn’t have given a damn if some weird acting 17 year old girl sang his music... after all wasnt that a lot of his fanbase anyways? he would have probably loved her weirdness as well. she’s matured so much since this anyways
@@pepedomingo4061 yep, I agree. I don't know where people get the idea that Kurt thought his music was untouchable and that no one could cover it. He doesn't seem like he was the type to care about stuff like that and he'd just be thrilled that people enjoy his song. At least she's not singing Smells like Teen Spirit.
I mean this in thee best way. She takes me close to experiencing what Patty Smith mighta sounded like doing this in her Radio Ethiopia phase. AND WHAT A GIFT 2 MY ♡¿!
I still get goosebumps to this version. I love her. And her shyness at the end makes me sad it’s almost like she felt she didn’t belong there but they gave her a standing ovation. And she was dumbfounded and that’s why I love her. She isn’t all “look at me I’m a flawless b*” she’s herself.
Lmao all these people stuck in the past saying this is bad... obviously if Nirvana chose her is because of something & if this would be bad they wouldn’t done it in the first time, like you can discuss it with whoever you want to but I would like to see y’all saying this is bad to Dave Grohl or David Bowie faces (since he said she is the future of music, & ik he’s dead ok)
Samantha hallmark yeah I know, I was self-deprecating. Hey did you see the Into the Wild movie? You have some tunes on your Channel from the soundtrack so I was wondering. I have a question about one of the lines in the movie and maybe you can help
I actually really liked her take on this song. If it ain’t your thing, I understand. But this really is something different. Krist, Dave and Pat wouldn’t have picked her if they thought she couldn’t do it. She really delivered here imho
Also any Nirvana fan of any age who says anything sexist about any woman ever no matter what their age or talent level is a fucking... oh there is only one word that really fits what I want to say. You know.
Lorde was only 19 years old here, and she did great! I mean talk about the pressure of performing a Nirvana song with the remaining members of Nirvana, along with female rock legends Joan Jett and Kim Gordon onstage as well.
Nice job,brought own style still did avoid job...huge respect to everybody who showed some respect for Kurt....nice...Joan jett,that was surprise for me...THANKS
Yup, couldn't agree more. You find this a lot with the Nirvana fanbase, they are really cringey perfectionists that hate on anything that isn't exactly like Kurt or Grunge, and it leaves a bad name on people like us. So what if she doesn't bring the harshness of Kurt's voice? It's a cover, not a straight copy of the original recording. Otherwise they would just play Kurt's vocals over it. I think she did amazing, and this has to be one of the best covers of a song, ever. It's great, it's fresh and it still sounds amazing.
Isokuovi hahaha that’s straight facts right there they’re a little over the top judgmental for sure, which is ironic because the genre and vibe is kinda supposed to be about not caring about the mainstream yet they care way too much lol
You will find that most English speaking countries pronounce "all" with a a low "a" sound (similar to an "o" sound). America and Canada are really the only exception to this, however this doesn't mean that she says "oil apologies" or it even sounds like that. It's just NA english speakers don't seem to understand that people can speak differently to them and still be saying the same thing.
Lorde is a great singer. My qualms are that she doesn't have a rasp, which the song lacks. Also her voice is way to deep, so deep in fact that there is no clarity or enunciation to speak of. No one can sing this song like Kurt, obviously, but these are my criticisms. This was the wrong song for her to cover. I don't agree with people saying she can't sing. I just think she could have sung a haunting version of Back to Black by Amy Winehouse or Mercy by Duffy. I would have loved to hear her sing a song more along those lines.
Raj Kumar Kurt more so probably didn’t want to be in the rock n roll hall of fame, as he expressed over and over again how much he hated that kind of exposure. Ever listen to songs like “radio friendly unit shifter”..
I Always wondered what ever happened to Marla Hooch from "A League of Their own" Found her. She's now trying to cover "All Apologies". Ya don't believe me? Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PYn2m0nxUn4.html Marla Hooch = Lorde. Amazing.
