(0/54) Ever think, “Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ is such a fantastic song. I should find and listen to many, many different versions of it!”?
No? Well … a few weeks ago, I did just that. I started a project of sorts which involved spending hours finding all manner of covers of Creep by Radiohead, so you don't have to!
Go ahead and listen to all of them, and let me know what you think of them…
(1/54) My inspiration for this slightly odd project started with this *phenomenal* cover by Haley Reinhart and Postmodern Jukebox: https://youtu.be/m3lF2qEA2cw
#PMJ #PostmodernJukebox #HaleyReinhart #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(2/54) Also outstanding, and VERY different indeed, Kawehi's version: https://vimeo.com/57903204
(3/54) Another must-listen version of Creep — this time, by the Scary Pockets: https://youtu.be/tcNuPheBQgU
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
(4/54) This one by Danielle Ponder is a slow burn but rather good: https://youtu.be/yogKiVhZphI
(5/54) Daniela Andrade’s version is a quiet, sweet version: https://youtu.be/DDjlaN-X8-0
(6/54) Not quite as polished, but pretty great for buskers on the street in my home city. 🙂 Allie Sherlock and the 3 Busketeers: https://youtu.be/9pecYpCh2Js

(7/54) This one introduced me to guitaro5000 / “Sing With Me For Free”, a real surprise: https://youtu.be/OVeLgYVSfCA
#SingWithMeForFree #guitaro5000 #Subway #SubwayStation #Live #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(8/54) This live performance by Carrie Manolakos starts quiet and breathy, but rises (as this wonderful song should) to a powerful crescendo: https://youtu.be/aZ5ZclZTeTU
(9/54) This one’s from a trained opera singer, Kate Wright: https://youtu.be/wAcB0Pzsgmc
(10/54) This choral version by Scala & Kolacny Brothers is iconic, and it would be a crime to omit it from this list: https://youtu.be/Yt6-gBGCJ-4
(11/54) This version from two young German sisters (13 and 15) on the German version of “The Voice Kids” is something else: https://youtu.be/wC64ZPJXMGU
#MimiAndJosefin #TheVoiceKids #German #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(12/54) This one is kind of low-fi, but it’s beautiful, performed outdoors in a wooded area: https://youtu.be/KUnZ2aoxvTQ
(13/54) This performance by “Homeless Mustard” live on a radio show is gravely, gritty, and quite good: https://youtu.be/hXlzci1rKNM
(14/54) Another belter of a Creep cover, also PMJ, but with a different singer in a live concert -- Effie Passero! https://youtu.be/eRP-stBC9ns
#PMJ #PostmodernJukebox #EffiePassero #Live #Concert #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(15/54) In this one … Jim Carrey performs Creep?! https://youtu.be/tLpnEp1-rT0
(16/54) This is a mellow version by Nursena Yener: https://youtu.be/5SrN2Rpfzw8
(17/54) This one is … more than a little odd. A singer (Chloe Alexander) and her parrot (Gallagher GreenParrot) sing (and “sing”) Creep (singer and ukulele are good; the parrot is impressive for a parrot, but … a bit cacaphonic/discordant): https://youtu.be/LW_O5VWIOZE
#ChloeAlexander #GallagherGreenParrot #parrot #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(18/54) A performance by Brian Justin Crum on America’s Got Talent builds magnificently: https://youtu.be/10qr-hgwq9U
#BrianJustinCrum #AmericasGotTalent #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(19/54) This soulful, melodic version by a young man by the name of Vincint Cannady, also on America’s Got Talent (a show I never watched, but YouTube has many good Creep covers, including this one) builds up to a powerful finale: https://youtu.be/6FTn5uGuzww?t=60
(20/54) A collection of six *different* performances by kids on various international The Voice Kids shows (including one I shared earlier), all really worth it: https://youtu.be/pqY2-auUax4
#TheVoiceKids #Belgium #Colombia #Portugal #Germany #France #Indonesia #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(21/54) The *inimitable* Macy Gray provides a wonderful, funky live performance in this one: https://youtu.be/LXWCbpdgEFQ
(22/54) An instrumental violin cover from Guillem Errando: https://youtu.be/yKisUJTT65k
#GuillemErrando #violin #instrumental #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(23/54) Another instrumental one, but this time a piano, cello, and string quartet (wouldn’t that make it a quintet?) — Brooklyn Duo feat. Escher Quartet: https://youtu.be/hTcBnxxuAls
#BrooklynDuo #EscherQuartet #instrumental #Creep #Radiohead #cover
(24/54) Another one from a TV show talent contest, this is a *powerful* performance by Kimberly Nichole on The Voice: https://youtu.be/yCb3heBLahQ
(25/54) A beautiful cover by Jennel Garcia, accompanied by piano: https://youtu.be/qISirGv3Mho
(26/54) A live performance by the singer and band which kicked off this thread, the amazing Haley Reinhart (her voice is stunning, and fantastically versatile, from smooth and soft to an amazing growl, and what stage presence and charisma) and Scott Bradlee’s PMJ: https://youtu.be/A318dxT7fl0
