About Dua Lipa:
Born and raised in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents Dua Lipa signed to Warner Records in 2015, releasing her self titled debut in 2017 which featured the hit singles, 'Be The One', 'IDGAF', 'Hotter Than Hell' & her first UK #1 hit 'New Rules'.
Critical success soon followed as Dua Lipa picked up Brit Awards for 'Best Female Solo Artist' and 'Best British Breakthrough Act' as well as Grammy Awards for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Dance Recording' for the track 'Electricity' in collaboration with Silk City.
Her second internationally acclaimed studio album 'Future Nostalgia' was released in 2020 and included the hit singles 'Don't Start Now, 'Break My Heart', 'Hallucinate' and 'Levitating', with the remix album 'Club Future Nostalgia' following shortly after featuring guest appearances from 'Blackpink', 'Missy Elliott', 'Madonna' and 'Gwen Stefani'.

She needs to sing more vocally challenging soulful songs like this. I know she could sing but I didn't realise she could SAAANG!
Faith yes ma'am
this cover is soo good! i wish she sings more songs like these or maybe even rock songs. but i can understand why she or her management would rather go on a different direction. (the amy winehouse comparisons on this video alone is a bit much.)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
right
Cranberries
Dua Lipa's secret power: soul
Pierre Custodio there is literally no soul in her voice...
@@bxricky1541 i think your wrong her tone actually goes pretty well with soulful songs like this because it's so deep and i feel like she doesn't have to try because of her tone but that's just my opinion
Bxricky lmao None whatsoever
This song is blues?
@@foreverinthefantasyworld1867 exactly
She’s really got the whole package. I love her big pop bangers but I hope she’ll do an album with songs like this. Her voice is gold
Me too .
Her voice is so soulful wow !
And I want to see her sing an few ballad songs of Little Mix or Adele and I am sure that she can do that with this beautiful voice
She's got the whole package, and she can sing to boot.
Some pipes Dua Lipa. Wow. 🫶🏼
She really needs an album with a few ballads. That would really showcase her vocals and how raw and great it is.
I agree
yesss
I wanna see her cover "Valerie"
OMG YES
Connor Mahaney SHE HAS TO !!!
Connor Mahaney YES!
omg yessss
YASSSSS ME TOO
she deserves more recognition
Yeah, I agree w/ U.
Jackiedion same
sadly it'll be a while be fore the album drops
Philippe M maybe it drops in november this year
Dua Lipa Videos even better! thanks ☺
Wow! Her singles don't do her voice justice at all. The girl has a voice! Go Dua!!
I knew she was a good singer but this was breath taking, it really shows how talented she truly is.
yup and she didnt even finish...now that shes had more experience and strenghthend her voice, i bet she could BELT out the rest of the song graciuosly with respect to etta
I agree .
And this is the dua that I love , and not the dua that looks forced to follow choreographys that her only makes nervous on the stage.
There is so much soul in this performance , and this shows how talented she actually is .
She is an amazing singer , and this performance is so beautiful .
ok you're just messing with me now aren't you?! how on earth can someone be an amazing singer, so talented, funny, cute and so god damn BEAUTIFUL?!?!😍😭
Fanboy She's Albanian, duh.
Diana Berisha Are all albainians like this?
ThePlayA- Mcpe yes we are. ☺
irena dervishi Whens the next flight to Albania?
of course
I love when new artists cover old songs
No one can touch Etta, but she did a damn good job. It's too bad her voice isn't featured more like this on her albums. She's got some pipes, but you wouldn't know it behind all the backing vocals and effects.
Beyonce got very very close.
Yeah, I realise how amazing Etta was every time i hear someone try to cover her. I haven't heard truly do her justice.
Beyonce did it better than etta 😝
@@nazimkhaldi3484 Beyonce is amazing, but nooooo way
she missed a part =(
I would have NEVER guessed she could sing like this from the music I hear of hers on the radio or at award shows. I really wish they would showcase it
This is gonna be her year, I just know it! 💙
Samuel Arias Jimenez I hope so
Sammy Jimenez. right
Sammy Jimenez I MEAN, RIGHT!!
Sammy Jimenez and u were right. she is currently featuring with great artists. her career is doing great this year.
ThePlayA- Mcpe Now go enjoy the game honey! I can't wait to hear alllll about it afterwards. I might be asleep by then but I'll hear about it tomorrow. I llove you sweetie😚😚😚
Forever a fan of Dua she's amazing and talented ❤
Carly McCalla HOW? ????
+Erick Juma What do you mean how? Her voice is like gold it's got a rich tone.
Carly McCalla she needs to improve on vocals.
+Erick Juma Each to their own...
Carly McCalla am a voice coach. am speaking in my own right as a voice expert!!!!
There is NOTHING average about Dua Lipa. Anything she sings. She's got a beautiful be gift and she blesses us in sharing🤟💋
Yes she is amazing. And scared to be lonely shows her amazing vocals
WHY DOESNT SHE DO MORE SLOW SONGS LIKE THIS ?????? WTF
she should do dive by ed sheeran😭😭😭
She didn't need slow songs for Future Nostalgia.
Because she does it bad
@@AsociacionCambalache You sure are delusional. Let me guess: you say this because she's a pop star and all pop stars suck right?
Because slow songs like this are covers and she makes less money on those. See Etta James' version.
She has a very soothing voice, not just whilst she’s singing also when she’s just talking.
Angie american accent when she sings, posh english voice when she speaks hahaha
Exactly
exactly
Dua Lipa on her songs: she can sing.
Dua Lipa on Acoustic sessions of her songs and renditions: SHEEEE CAAAANNN SIIIIHHHIIINNNG!
This shows how good she really is and she is putting her heart and soul into it. No auto tune no help just her and the guitar
I am obsessed with this girl. When I first heard New Rules I wasn’t impressed but the second time I actually listened and looked at some of her other songs and realized I love her voice and I’m very impressed with her overall
Mary Alex same here 😃
Me too
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW. I NEED EVERYONE TO STOP SLEEPING ON HER I CAN'T
точно така
Страхотен и дълбок глас!
Pavlina MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
check my cover on this song
They aren't anymore. She's one of the biggest pop stars in the world right now.
I hope she releases some acoustic sessions for her albums. Stripped raw. Her voice is really unique and so good!
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, "Cry Girl"
When I saw you and that girl, walking out
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
And baby, baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now
No problem:)
Thanks
She deserves to be a huge star she seems really humble too
JORGE SANTIAGO she's really down to earth
Dua is very very humble
Not from what I’ve heard.
L JonSpill What?
L JonSpill WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD?
This stripped down version is the best. Her voice is so good without a lot of background distractions truly excellent
I mean, Dua was always SOUL, her voice is made for this. How can you not believe it?
Dua Lipa is the definition of excellence. She could sing anything! I loved her dance-disco-vibe songs though. It'd be great she evolved into doing EDM a lot more. I really love Dua Lipa 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Her voice is devine.
Dua Lipa is talented.
She can sing to anything.
oh yes
Alain Bruno god u r everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All she is devine
I want to see her do some Amy Winehouse covers. Her voice would be perfect for Amy's style. She deserves more recognition. Dua is going to go far man
ruclips.net/video/cxLQAuQsOWI/видео.html
I disagree amy sang with so much emotion. This girl is Very one dimensional
SAME
I really love her voice with acoustics. Such a talented and amazing singer!
She's not making justice to her voice with her own music. Soul suits her perfectly. 💕
Totally agree
Jesus Christ she is the definition of perfection.😍😍😍
Pretty Little Liars Fifth harmony and Selena Gomez aye another harmonizer😏😏
I’m in love with her accent AND her voice.
RUclips recommended her songs to me back in 2017, and it was the best recommendation ever. I took my mom to her concert Feb 2018 and was blown away by her performance and voice live. I am so happy for her success!!
She’s a great singer! Her songs are still lit, but i personally like this Dua, not a dancing pop star they try to perpetuate. There’s so much soul in this performance!
Me too . she is an lot better with her own style. She looks here so classy and her vocals sounds just really great in this performance. And I understand what you mean. I remember when her label gave her stupid choreographys for her song One Kiss . And whole youtube bullied her about her stage presence and they made memes of her dancing skills and that was really sad 😔.
So in love with her voice! Wow
Lyrics♡
Something told me it was over (yeah)
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, "cry, girl" (cry, cry)
When I saw you and that girl walking around
Ooh
I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me, child, no, ooh
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in a glass that I held to my lips now, baby (cry, cry)
Revealed these tears that are all on my face
Ooh-ooh
And, baby, and, baby
Baby, I'd rather be blind, boy
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me, yeah
And, baby, and baby, I'd rather be blind, boy
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me
Wow.. really is a short song
Next album needs to be blues and soul. 🙏🏼 She really shines here.
Gosh I love Dua Lipa her voice is just phenomenal. Thank you Dua Lipa for sharing your voice with the entire world because you are amazing.
This is my new favourite Dua Lipa video.
she's so gifted 💓 and i'm also gifted hearing this
Nevermind the singing. From all the covers, this is the only one where the guitar actually catches that smooth vibe of the original
Beautiful. Absolutely. Beautiful
I'm so infatuated by her voice in this song. Sounds unreal
I want this cover to be at my wedding hands down
Lolabellasisters that's what I was thinking
Probably better off having "At Last" by Etta James. That's yout typical wedding song
Cute... It's a song about being 2-timed.
Stop comparing. Enjoy.
👌Straight up
U can t say that when u hear Beth version
Yet this is good in different way
Yes I did that I compared them
Ali Menasria ooooh bad ass
I compared. But I still loved this
don't tell me what to do
I have loved this song for ages.....she does an awesomeness rendition.
This version is on Spotify !!!!!!
Instant download
She would sound great with an Amy Winehouse song
she covered one I think.. I would like to hear rehab from her
lilith lilitu I just watched her Amy Winehouse cover , omg it was amazing she should do jazzy songs, that would suit her really well
nope. Dont think so.
Fernando Zapalla yes it would 😊
Yaaaaassss! I was thinking the same thing when I heard this. And they’re both British!!!😮 Do the thang!!!
when she sings her own songs she sounds average but when she sings these kind of songs you can see that she can really sing
100% agree
Not really
She proved herself as a more than average singer in her own songs as well. Like in homesick, new love, garden and Genesis acoustic
That's what I'm saying!
I feel like her voice is better than the pop songs she chooses to sing.
All her acoustic songs are fire, stand out more IMO
every once in a while, i come back to this video just to feel something. My goodness, her voice is unreal🙏
Samsies. It's a vibe.
same :)
I remember My heart breaking because some fool and a friend played me so wrong. This song hit every feeling in me. I was listening to Etta and one day Dua showed up. I was hypnotized!!! Her eyes and voice! I read a comment somewhere sayin that she was gonna go big soon. She sure did. Amazing to come back!
This is my second fav of this masterpiece after bey!!
Bey's voice is just!!!! It's just toooo perfect!!! No one can ever top this!
Dua did a pretty great job!!
Who the hell is Bey?Beyonce ? if so your high
@@captlucky2320 what the fuck?
I respect her so much more musically now that i have been blessed with her cover of such an iconic song 😍😍😍 bless you Dua Lipa
Her voice just shook my entire fucking soul 💔😰
Same
Destiney Gay ryderrrrrryyrryfyyff
Wait until you hear the original
Preach 👐 Then the cheeky little f bomb at the end just made it even better! I'm a 100% gay man, but she's so cute haha.
majestade DUA LIPA, por favor canta mais blues, a tua voz encaixa na perfeição nesse estilo musical, tens um timbre de outro mundo. 🔝💎❤️🌹🌹🌹😜
people haven't heard this cover, like she has the voice of an angel. like this is it
a voz dessa mulher destrói meu pobre coraçãozinho. Fico até ser ar
She need to do more of this style of music! She has such a gorgeous voice! Dua Lipa you're so effortlessly talented!
I didnt realize how powerful this womans voice is. Hun you need to show this power on your albums . So amazing!!! ❤ Give us some more
Her voice is everything!! I love her so much!! She's perfect.
When you hear her sing this beautifully, you realize it’s the quality of the music. Today’s music is crap. Her voice is able to shine because this song is so good.
Q linda interpretação desse clássico da Diva Etta James!
This is Dua in her simplest but yet most amazing
This woman, this SOUL is a trancendent artist of highest order.
Wake up because SHE IS spectacular here to stay.
I KNOW talent, this young woman is about to rock whatever decades are left.
Do Not take THIS musical, spiritual gift for granted...
She will be the soundtrack to your life.
This I know~🌎
Every time I hear another song by her I love her even more. When I saw she covered this song I was so happy. I listen to this song by Etta daily.
Lyrics-
Something told me it was over
when I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said
"Cry Girl"
When I saw you and that girl
Walking out
I would rather
I would rather
Go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away
From me chile
Ooooo, So you see I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me, baby
Most of all I just don't
I just don't want
To be free, no
I was just
I was just
I was just
Sitting here thinking
Of your kisses
And your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection
In the glass that I held
To my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears
That was on my face, yeah
And baby, baby
I would rather be blind, boy
Than to see you walk away
See you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby
I'd rather be blind now
😻😻
Kinda out of order
chile?
If she did a soul cover album I might die of happiness.
Real fans know the power of her voice 🌎🦋!
I see you Dua! Etta James' cover...I see you flexing that voice. I'm so proud of you.
O Brasil te ama! ❤
Bella Pighini México too
Bella Pighini 🇻🇪 Venezuela too
Bella Pighini cara eu amo a Dua ❤
Colombia too ❤️❤️❤️
Como essa mulher consegue ser tão linda e com essa voz ?
Girls stuck in the wrong genre singing the songs shes singing, she should be doing these kinds of songs!
These kids of song don’t sell
yup yup like god damn yup youre right
Sad reality of mainstream music industry.
She makes a f*@% ton more money singing her pop songs.
Also, she kills pop mehn. Don't talk about being stuck.
But this is fucking Gold.
Made me so happy seeing her sing all raw and candid like this.
Without all the glitz and glamour too she is such an amazing singer !
you, your voice, your personality and your smile... perfect❤️
heyy!! We just uploaded a new video it’ll mean the world if u show some love and suggest songs :)💕
Im officially obssesed with this one. Mesmerising to hear and watch!
So proud❤️ #albanian👐🔴⚫️
yaaas
This is so pure !! And I love how its unfinished at the end . I love this !! Please … continue to share that voice for yours!
I JUST LOVE HER! Love this, love the disco album, love "one Kiss". She's amazing.
This girl is pure perfection. She brings me to tears, how can she be real?
Dua you need to do an album of old school cover's. Today's music has no heart or emotion in the lyrics.
Totally agree. It takes a great song like this one to show how super-talented she is! I came here from watching her on SNL doing some of her own hits -- I was trying to figure out why she's so popular. Sure, she's very pretty, hits the notes, can dance the routines, but it's empty, soulless music...it's boring and you can't tell if anyone's home inside the pop tart/vamp exterior. But then I listened to this -- WOW. She can REALLY interpret a song. This is singing with mind, heart, and soul.
Every song you listen to doesn't have to have deep meaning for it to sound good 😅
I wouldn't say today's music has no heart or emotion because there are definitely modern songs with deeper meanings and lyricism. You just have to find it. BUT I do agree that a lot of today's music is heartless and emotionless (not all), especially mainstream pop since its just done to make money.
Best suggestion. ❤
True. Everyone copies everything today. Nobody can do the real work, original work, live work. They don’t want to study music theory and learn instruments. Look at Aretha Franklin’s career... smh
Simply outstanding Dua Lipa! I agree that your albums need more songs like this that show your range and talent!
Wow, after hearing Dua do this cover song justice, she should be a bigger artist. I think the American market has under promoted and underrated her. I wish Dua greater success here in America and globally. Love ya, Dua! 💖💙💚💛💜💕💞
dua is really big in the US
@@sunnyorange180 I'm a new fan of Dua. I'm just realizing her great success here but because of the shutdown of concerts and everything due to Covid-19 we can"t enjoy live music of artists like Dua. I would love to see her in a live concert.
@@jjmusgrove1851 yeah me too :(
What're you talking about? She's hella loved in the US market right now. You can't turn on the radio for more than 15 minutes without hearing one of her songs.
Me too
I keep coming back to this video again and again... can't get enough. Addicted.
I really don't like her more "modern" songs, but this is so far the best cover of I would rather go blind that I've ever heard. Really did Etta James justice imo, cheers!
Beyonce's Version? From Cadillac Records? No? Okay...
Shakeeraaa
Beyoncé’s version was out of this world ❤️
Yeah. Her voice just doesn't sound right on those 'modern songs'
Not really justice....but she did okay. Beyoncé definitely wins, obviously.
@@Emmmajaane96 I don't think she did just "ok". She did really freaking good. That's an understatement and its not like you can do any better.
Grandiosa voz y super afinadísima, Dua Lipa tiene el tipo de voz la cual te envuelve en sus tonos
"I'd Rather Go Blind"
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' out
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Than to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sitting here thinkin' of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo, and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind boy
[Fade out:] Baby, baby, baby...
❤️❤️❤️
Dua, Beautiful Voice & Artist Look fwd in the upcoming alums and music career you are going have. Talented & Beautiful Model. love your style. Keep up the hard work.
Albanians are so soooo sooo proud of her!!!!
Te amo dua no me canso de tu voz ni jamás lo haré. Eres magnífica 😭💖
I Love you Dua😘 you're a perfect one when it comes to talent, voice, and beauty
She is a great and versitle artist. She innovates and she goes back in time. Amazing.
Her control over her emotional delivery is fenomenal.
Please do more of these . Marvelous . This song shows the depth of feelings you can convey by your voice.
He estado buscando esta canción durante dos años o incluso más y escucharla de nuevo me llena el alma como no tiene una idea, la vida es tan maravillosa ❤️
Usually I'm not a fan of Dua Lipa, but I'm a fan of Etta James, and I can say that from heaven she must be very happy to hear this beautiful voice singing her song.
her voice is literally giving me life 😍😩
i wish so much she would do more like this, idk why she’s sold her soul to this disco pop or whatever. she’s an amazing singer
This cover is beautiful I love this song and I was surprised to see she covered it she definitely did it justice so happy to hear her music! 💗
More people need to hear her sing this kind of music. Classy and Beautiful!
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl.'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' out

Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
