Song wouldn’t have performed anywhere near what it did if this was the released version. Halsey brought a raw element to the song that was part of its nostalgia relatability. Camila’s version is focused on vocal performance
Actually this is the OG version of the song, Camila said she would sing it at Coachella with the chainsmokers but she ghosted them so Halsey sang it instead. In my opinion i like Camilas very better
A few ppl are saying Camilla’s is better but the voices just don’t go well together at all. Camilla has a stunning voice she really does but it doesn’t go well with the chainsmokers
Well....in 2-3 years this song will turn 10 years and maybe they can release a 10 year anniversary edition and call this " Closer (Alternate version) " or " Closer (Camilla's mix) " or something along those lines!!!!
overall hasley takes the cake with the chainsmokers and the way the voices mix and harmonize so well with each others, but the way camilla sings her verse alone gives me such a good look at the song there’s something about it that’s so good
I think if Halsey and Camilla both were in the final version it would be the best. Along for the male parts call in Bieber or Charlie put or Shawn mendes to sing with the chainsmokers
the lyrics on this are so much better here, but halsey's voice matched the chainsmokers better camilla should just make a solo of this tbh bc her voice alone is beautiful
Esto es maravilloso, la voz de Camila es incomparable, es mágica, me encanta, es como ingenua y sensual a la vez, La Ameee😍❤por que no la interpretó ella, estoy llorandoo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Halsey definitely fixed the lyrics and made it make more sense to the songs vibes. Also Halsey voice is more strong and powerful than camilas so she’s definitely the better singer
Bro Halsey takes the W This was so much better with her. I am honestly scared that this was the first version. :') The song by itself isn't bad but it doesn't speak to me the way Closer with Halsey does
People saying this version wouldn't have been a hit are suffering from cognitive dissonance. Both versions are beautiful for their respective reasons and I dont think the song would have been less than number 1 if this version had been the one released
No way, Halsey's version is better for sure, more personality and atittude. Camila's runs and adlibs definetly doesn't match with this song... the people are commenting just because it's different in her voice
En ese tiempo ella pertenecía al grupo fifth harmony y la disquera no permitía que grabará otras canciones porque ya el grupo iba lanzar un álbum. Así que rechazaron a camila y la canción se la dieron a halsey. Se filtro una parte con la voz de camila y la gente le gustó pero ya habían lanzado la de halsey. De todos modos fue un éxito pero hubiera sido mejor con camila la verdad. Ella le dio ese toque a la canción
They are both not bad. Camila''s voice is brighter. When the song transitions from the chains to Halsey in the original there is a dullness. If they released this considering that Camila had already done Bad things with MGK and IKWYDLS with Shawn. This would have performed better with Camila considering that this was only the first demo
Nope. She recorded this fr. But couldn't really go with the whole situation of actually releasing and stuff because she was in the group at the time. She mentions it in an interview.
No offense to Halsey, I like her voice, but I always thought that the female lyrics were a bit not there. It just wasn't feminist enough. Why would she say, 'Why did I leave you'! I like not only Camila's voice and vocals, but her lyrics are beautiful.
