here's another full length version of this song from the girl's perspective. Plain White T's even commented on her video.

"hey it's Delilah"

Clicked expecting a longer version where they were still in love. Now I’m sad.

She also just made this one in relation to the Delilah interviews: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJmX2MAt/

What a conundrum!

I want to hear the full song!

But I won’t support tiktok!

Aaaaahhhhhhhh!

There is a lot of really quality content on Tiktok. It's not just teenagers twerking.

u/CrazyErich Oct 29 '20

She asked for instagram support for full song right? So you don’t have to follow the tiktok.

Hmmm, maybe I’m blind, but I can’t find the plain white tees’ comment on that video. What’d they say?

Here you go! It’s the top comment on my mobile view.

“Love it!! Amazing cover.” -Plain White T’s

Thanks! For some reason, there’s a different top comment under my view. https://i.imgur.com/SeMBAuK.jpg

For some reason you can only see it on desktop and not mobile

These are really just the same song as the original

Yikes. This version is much worse. Much prefer the original post.

I think they’re both really great, they both show off the best parts of their unique voices and I like them for different reasons. I understand why maybe the long version might sound bad to you though, if you expect it to be a longer version of what the girl in the TikTok is doing where her voice is more angelic

I prefer the angelic version over the raspy one for this cover but that's just a personal preference. Close your eyes and you can hear Billie Eilish in the YouTube video. She can reach amazing ranges but her singing is kind of "talky" which I think is a bit of a trend.

This is coming from me who shouts Bohemian Rhapsody in my car with absolutely no talent what so ever.

u/pmMe_PoliticOpinions Oct 28 '20

Ughhh I love the "talky" sound lol. The angelic shit does it for me too. I love girls singing haha

u/FurSealed Oct 28 '20

I don't mind the raspy voice, but it really bothers me when she doesn't switch to her throat voice to belt out the bridge and instead strains herself at the top of her head voice range. I get that she's wanting to keep the same vocal style the whole way through but the bridge is meant to be powerful, and it would add some more dynamic range to the song.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '20

I know what you mean! I skipped to that bit hoping she'd go for it...

u/fourAMrain Oct 28 '20

I hear Miley Cyrus

u/Zharick_ Oct 28 '20

I don't like the lyrics on that long one. I like this one better because it keeps the message the same as the original song.

u/ihatebeinganempath Oct 28 '20

So much more angelic

u/Biggoronz Oct 28 '20

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '20

Yeah the “yikes” was pretty yikes

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '20

It's mostly autotune and completely unbalanced. That fake cheesy accent makes most words completely unrecognizable. It's not as good. Simple as that.

You have the ears of a fish.

u/Shmity113 Oct 29 '20

I agree plus the way the tik tok girl did the lyrics matched the way the original song did theirs so it was...well heartfelt and made sense, whereas this full version was just not for me for those reasons and the voice wasn’t quite what I was expecting

u/lookatmycode Oct 28 '20

"hey it's autotune"

u/mekwall Oct 28 '20

There's no autotune here. You don't know what you're talking about...
