The Pretender - Foo Fighters【Roca Rourin】COVER 

ROCA THE GOATTTTTTTT!!! Amazing cover bb xoxoox

Covers of stuff like this are far too rare. Awesome!

Roca sure as hell isn't "like the others" and certainly is no "Pretender". She's a bonafide vocal rock star for sure

woah are you kidding me?

It takes guts to cover a song as beloved as The Pretender, considering how hard it can be. But you absolutely knocked it out of the park Roxy! You went above and beyond with it and made it your own

Absolutely ADORE that distortion in your voice!! Thank you for covering this classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

First exposure to Roca Rourin here and my god it’s a breath of fresh air hearing an English Rock cover out of an ENVtuber for once. As a guy whose only Eastern exposure is to vtubers, this is a surprise, and it’s an awesome cover of something right in my childhood too (GH3 DLC)

I'm so glad that-even after being hesitant about this-you still put it out! Dave Grohl's voice is incredibly versatile and definitely a tough one to beat, but yours was absolutely up for the task It's actually insane how you can fit your voice into any genre and make it sound so natural. That perfect growl at the end was just the cherry on top of an amazing cover

You absolutely killed it with this cover Roca! This was fire!🔥This was such a fun and fitting way to end an amazing donothon. Congrats on such an epic sounding cover!

This makes me really want to hear Roca sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It'd be a great way to show off so much of the beautiful texture of her rock style vocal tone

This was INCREDIBLE! Way above my expectations that were already sky high! Thank you so, so, so much for doing this amazing song justice!

I'm always brought back to Roca's debut when she absolutely stunned everyone with her voice. Still happens every time. Absolutely amazing voice.

oh my GOD Roxy. I started shaking seeing the cover count down, this is one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time and you're one of the greatest vtubing singers I've ever heard so I knew it'd be amazing. and you KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK HOME RUN!! not many people can match the power dave has in his voice but you put yourself up to the task and went NUTS seriously. and you said you were unsure about the scream at the end? I got chills. amazing work!

This is my introduction to Roxy. Couldn't ask for a better introduction to someone. Not only is this song not covered nearly enough, but you did it in your own style rather than trying to mimick the original. That alone deserves major respect. Looking forward to seeing more like this.

As soon, as vocal starts, my finger just hit subscribe. As soon, as vocal splitting starts, I hit the bell. As soon, as chorus starts, I realized what I gonna listen for next few days at least. Astonishing performance, stay sane, Roca!

Roca indeed is not like the others, and I love it

I just like lyrics all in front of me: Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend Keep you in the dark And so it all began Send in your skeletons Sing as their bones go marching in, again The need you buried deep The secrets that you keep are ever ready Are you ready? I'm finished making sense Done pleading ignorance That whole defense Spinning infinity, boy The wheel is spinning me It's never-ending, never-ending Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? In time our soul untold I'm just another soul for sale, oh well The page is out of print We are not permanent We're temporary, temporary Same old story What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? I'm the voice inside your head You refuse to hear Yeah, I'm the face that you have to face Mirrored in your stare I'm what's left, I'm what's right I'm the enemy I'm the hand that will take you down Bring you to your knees So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you? Keep you in the dark You know they all pretend What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? You're the pretender What if I say that I'll never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all pretend) You're the pretender (who dares) What if I say I will never surrender? What if I say I'm not like the others? (keep you in the dark) What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all pretend) You're the pretender (who dares) What if I say I will never surrender? So who are you? Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?

It turned out so stunning! I'm so proud of how it turned out, thank you Roca and the team for giving me the opportunity to work on this project.

Now that's a hell of a way to start the year. Love finally seeing a cover of my kind of music

THIS COVER WAS FKING AMAZING ROXY! So proud of you for all that you've accomplished! We have a hell of a year in front of us! ROCA LOVE!

I never thought I'd get chills from a Foo Fighters song, but here I am.

We should call her Raspberry given how sweet her raspy voice is

For some reason, the algorithm decided I needed to hear this In this case, the algorithm was correct. About the only thing that could improve this is hearing this live, with real instruments bringing out the best in her performance Now to wait to see the cover that will bring out THE BEST, THE BEST, THE BEST in her

I keep coming back to it, that ending has no right going so hard HOLY

Will never get tired of hearing that distortion in your voice. The outro? Perfection. Absolutely nailed the same type of energy Dave had in the original but still made it your own.

This is probably my favourite The Pretender cover I've heard. Your voice fits so well!

A bit late commenting, but this cover was how I discovered you, Roca. And it really is incredible. I've listened to it so many times that the original doesn't sound quite right without your voice anymore. After this, Backlight, Roki, and Ghost (not to mention all of your karaokes), I can't wait to see what you've got in store next!

A Foo Fighters cover is a hidden gem. Good lord, thanks for this.

Man, this was hidden from my feed too long. Roca’s voice kills it for rock! I love that rasp! She’s really great!

This is one of the best cover songs I've ever heard, you captured the feel of the original piece so well

I never thought listening to covers of vocaloid songs would end up leading me back to my favorite song by my favorite band, but here we are. I dunno who you are, but I really appreciate what you're doing. Actually being able to understand the lyrics is always a plus, and this song in particular has stuck with me ever since I first heard it in 2007. You absolutely killed it, ma'am. That was fucking incredible. Dave would be proud.

Congratulations on 300k, Roxy! 🤩🔥🔥🔥 Well deserved for this amazing cover!

that is the most metal thing I've heard so far this year, absolutely love it to bits, had to listen to it twice in a row just to appreciate the level of rock in this cover. you did an insanely awesome job, I hope you do more rock covers in the future because you clearly have talent. love you Roca.

Foo Fighters is one of my favorite bands. They were the first band I 'really' got into, and Pretender is one of their tops. I don't think I've ever seen a Foo Fighter cover in the Vtuber scene. This is awesome!

probably my favourite foo fighters song and you smashed it out of the park with this cover

Someone shared this on Discord. THIS IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD!!! Awesome Job Roca keep it up!

BROOOOOOOOOOOO ROCA I LOVE YOU ;____; IT'S SO GOOD

Spectacular, 11/10, sung along. Keep your good work!

RU-vid recommended something incredible to me today in the form of an awesome cover of one of my favorite bands!

This keeps coming up in my feed and I have yet to skip it. You nailed it

every one of your covers just rocks me to the core, the way you meld your voice to work for anything is INCREDIBLE!!

TSKR. This is amazing. And that growl at the end.... damn. You did amazing, Roca!

I love how Roca always keep nailing everything she sings, like this cover for example, Thank you for this absolute fire cover🔥🔥🔥

Best cover I ever heard of anything in a good while. Keep kicking ass and rocking on

Welp, literally never seen your stuff before but you've earned a fan today

the scream at the end was pure chef's kiss! subscribed and ring-a-ling'ed the ding-a-ling bell!

It's times like this that I love randomly clicking on something youtube recommends me. Your voice is amazing and you pulled off this song so well! For sure a sub from me and I now look forward to more from you.

glad i clicked on this suggestion. like'd and sub'ed. looking forward to more covers!

It was pretty darn good. Dave Grohl himself might like it if he ever sees it

damn that is one fine rock female voice. GJ

the range of her voice like hearing this right after ghost is just mindblowing xD

I'm here straight from YT recommendations. Never heard about this particular VTuber. But this cover earned her a new subscriber. Rock on!

Congratulations for the 100k views, this cover became one of my favorites

This is my favourite cover of this, cannot resist singing along to this every single time I listen to it

That was outstanding Roca you really hit it out of the park with this one and you’re voice and range are so amazingly perfect as well‼️‼️‼️

That scream at the end! GOD DAMN THAT WAS GOOD!!!

Rocaaa, you absolutely blow our mind!! THIS IS A BANGER TO START 2024!!

I discovered you just now with this song and WOW!. Earned a sub within the first minute. I'm excited to see what other songs you have but want to finish listening to this several times first.

rarely see any vtubers that does rock covers and by far this is one of the best i've heard! absolute banger of a song

Alright, first time hearing you, already subsribed, not to often you hear someone in this community doing something this legendary, super bold, and its a good cover too well done

MINDBLOWING very likely my favorite rendition of The Pretender of all time, there's just so much power in your voice...!

Not often I get the shivers when someone sings, but dang, this is a great cover.

That was wild 10/10 this came outta left for me

Absolutely amazing! I love seeing someone do a cover for such a classic song!

Best cover interpreted by a female artist 110%

A VTUBER COVERING AN AMERICAN ROCK SONG, IN ENGLISH? A language that I can understand without subtitles? in a video that stays up? I didn't know that was physically possible! BRAVO!!!

I'm new to your channel but this is one of my favorite songs and I waited days to listen to this. I was not disappointed at all. I love the rock in your voice.

First exposure to your work and damn! just DAMN!

very cool cover of a classic Foo Fighters song, i really dug it. thanks to the subtitles i could actually understand all the lyrics for once too😅

I have no clue who this vtuber is but this cover is fire. Not only is there just the right blend of pain and anger in her voice, but shifting the focus instrument to the drums is a bold choice.

i ADORE your vocals and genuine love the for the rock genre

just stumble upon this and happy I did! LETS ROCK!

turns out, I still absolutely love and live for this cover.

Excellent job! I’m going to follow and check out more of your work.

Congrats for the 100k views, Roxy. It's so well deserved. This cover is amazing!

Congratulations on your Cover reaching over 100k Roca!! 🎉🎉

Now this is quality content that brings me back into the rabbit hole

This is really fucking good! Stand proud, you did an absolutely fantastic job of this cover!

Such an amazing cover and such a great way to start 2024 off with! I got absolute chills listening to your voice all throughout the song. Definitely gonna be listening to this on loop!

Whoa, that was awesome! I never expected to hear a VTuber do a Foo Fighters song, but I'm really glad Roca did! She really nailed it!

Great singing! Now hear me out is there any way I can convince you to do a cover of Nickelback?

It's rare I've yet to see a vtuber cover a foo fighters song. I've been a fan of them since 2011. You rocked this cover you got a subscription right here!!

You nailed it, this is amazing.

WOW. What a performance! Definitely a top class voice!

This is one of the most amazing things I've stumbled over in a while. Shook me out of my constant apathy. Fucking amazing!

OH-KAY WOW i did not expect someone to knock this song out the park so well, earned my sub and i gotta follow along now- you are INCREDIBLE

Starting 2024 with a bang. Here, take my like and comment since I am already subbed. Now lemme put it in my playlist as well. Great work.

Aw man been a minute since i got goosebumps. Haven't heard this one in a while, fantastic cover

What an awesome first impression. Great cover.

I'm so glad you did this cover Roca. It's so freaking awesome! 🤘🤩

Now THATS a cover! Absolutely off the rails! ❤

Great start, especially how it started to build up.

Cool song choice and a really good cover! You really went all-out on this one and it shows, good job!

It's nice seeing new people discovering this amazing cover!

OOF! That's peak Roca right there! Brilliant.

I loved this cover Roca. You have an astounding voice and know how to use it, which shows in each song you sing. Congrats on the release and your accomplishments. Keep having fun!

you killed this, I actually met Dave once briefly shortly after this song came out,I'm sure he'd love this cover

That was sooooooo good. That might be one of the best covers I heard in a long time.

Pretender is one of my All Time Favourites scince i found it, thanks for making such an insane cover!
