      I love Kate Bush immensely,
      and this is one of my favorite songs by her.
      This cover just doesn't cut it for me.

      Who is this hack that magically turns good songs into shit? Is she in her closet or an attic?



    12. 12

      Kate Bush is a musical genius. There's a lot of Kate Bush covers on Youtube and I've heard worse. The girls can obviously sing.



    13. 13

      Re: Bubzzz – #9 shut up you whiney little bitch….



    15. 15

      That girl is dumber than a box of rocks in real life. I cringe every time she does an interview



    16. 16

      Perez, I can't imagine you liking Kate Bush with some of the crap you promote, but it's about time you at least gave her some recognition on your site. As far as this cover–not really feeling it, but it's not a total wreck either.



    17. 17

      …boring compared to the original



    18. 18

      Beautiful. I love Kate Bush. I love that song. All humans struggle running up that hill. All humans would love to make a deal with god. Little Boots should record that, too bad no one will like it, cause it doesn't jump out and grab you with sex or violence. It's quiet melancholy is only understood through inner contemplation. Something very few of you do.



    19. 19

      She has a very sweet little voice, not a voice for an actual singer though.



    20. 20

      TERRIBLE. TONE DEAF AS USUAL FAT ASS MARIO. KATE BUSH IS BETTER 20 FOLD.



    21. 21

      I used to listen to the original on cassette tape when it was first released, as a teen. I think Little Boots did a lovely job. It's not a studio cover - so there's only so much one can do just off the cuff. It's really nice for what it's meant to be.



    22. 22

      Shite compared to Kate Bush!!!

    23. MC says – reply to this


      23

      Kate Bush is far better than this "singer"



    24. 24

      wtf!?!? what made this pathetic wannabe think she could cover a song by an icon like kate bush?
      you must have been chatting shit to her perez! :P kate bush rules!



    25. 25

      shit, thats terrible! If you want to hear a good cover of this song try Placebo. This..this is just bad.

      Your taste in music sucks Perez…though chances are you are probably getting paid to advertise this shit.



    26. 26

      I love this song but this is a mediocre, kinda boring cover! Uh why was this noteworthy again?

      zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



    27. 27

      WTF!! Why is she being allowed to murder this classic? I hope Kate Bush sues!



    28. 28

      Most commentators on Youtube like it, but as usual here on Perez it's of course shit. Mostly because Perez like it.



    29. 29

      That vibrator ruined everything:( next time re-due it if your phone goes off right in the middle of you recorded performance



    30. 30

      OK PEREZ FIRST OFF YOUR A FUCKING DUMB ASS KATE BUSH COVERED PLACEBO IT OFF THEIR Sleeping with Ghosts [Bonus CD]!! AND SECOND LITTLE BOOTS SUCKS!!!!!!!!



    31. 31

      Hmm I guess my comment never got through but:
      Perez, if you want to hear a really amazing cover of Running Up That Hill, check out PLACEBO. You might even take a liking for them. But really, check out PLACEBO's cover. Seriously, it was the first song of theirs that I heard and I immediately fell in love with them. I'm not bashing this chick's cover, but really Placebo's is amazing.



    32. 32

      No, thanks.
      Placebo's cover was amazing, and this is just … no. She's talented, but I'm just not feeling this.



    33. 33

      Sweet! That brings back memories. The kid's good, she kept performing even while the phone was ringing and barely missed a note.
      For the people who say her performance sucked, it is meant to be raw and unfinished and gives you the feeling of being in the room with her. If that isn't your thing, fine.
      Music is headed in a more performance oriented direction; the public is sick and tired of the fembots.



    34. 34

      Re: boozer83 –
      Actually Kate Bush wrote the song and first released it off her HOUNDS OF LOVE album in 1985.



    35. 35

      i like the version by Placebo bestt.



    36. 36

      Chromatics does the best version BY FAR.



    37. 37

      I really, really hope that she was just tinkering around. Please people, check out the original. I'll chalk this up to just tinkering around.



    38. 38

      …That wasn't very good.



    39. 39

      TRULY CRAPPY! What an injustice to Kate Bush. And she looks as crappy as she sounds too. God awful.



    40. 40

      Its not the best cover I'v heard of it, but its miles better than some studio recording by other 'artists'



    41. 41

      when these so called "artists" gonna stop writing the same song with the f to g to a minor chords. this chord progression is used in a million songs, its getting old….( it got old years ago )why cant you write a new song ?. i could teach any kid to play this in 5 minutes.
      boy, does this generation of music suck.



    42. 42

      Couldn't watch all of it, got my nerves. I think Placebos cover is the best.. Would love to hear Tori Amos cover this song too..



    43. 43

      Re: smeary – lol. i was scrolling down and about to comment the same thought. Placebo has done the best cover of the song so far



    44. 44

      Um she sucks soo much…Placebo's is the only one worth mentioning; it's amazing because Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal & Steve Hewitt (drummer at the time of cover) are amazing artists



    45. 45

      Why did we sit through that?? Placebo did this song a millions times better and who is boots?

      I am so OVER all these lame piano chicks.
      - Take one chick
      - Take one piano
      - Take one mediocre song
      - Record it
      - Make a happy and smiley video
      - Release and air video on VH1 in the AM
      - Watch it become the hit-of-the-week, make tons of $$$ and quickly die.
