The Pretty Reckless cover Fall Out Boy's My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) in the Live Lounge. See the photos: www.bbc.co.uk/events/e6fp5v
Why are people complaining about her cover. I think it's wonderful! And I'm a huge fob fan. I think artists should add a unique touch onto covers. It makes it less boring.
Why can't you just understand that FOB and TPR have diferent styles. They've made a cover turning the song into their style. And thats pretty much the best thing they could have done. Of course, if you don't like TPR you won't like this cover. It doesn't mean it is a bad one. If you want to hear FOB's verison just fucking go and listen the original one in instead of a cover.
Pretty much 70% of the acts that appear on this segment sing off of a lyrics sheet. I don't understand why its such a big deal that Taylor does it as well. Hell, even Patrick was singing off of a lyric sheet on the "Uptown Funk" cover and he messed up some lyrics too. The cover was different, which is admirable. It's bland when people cover songs in a karaoke fashion. All in all a decent job done by the Pretty Reckless
ImmortalSparrow yup lol but as a performer I can tell you that you feel the music anyway not see it besides even though it doesn't apply to this performance usually you switch from dimly lit to spotlights blinding you add in strobes and stage lights and yer not gonna see anything anyway plus don't forget you gotta hide those bloodshot eyes man ha ha
Am I only one who got really annoyed that they didn't even get the name of the song right.... It's "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" not "Light Em Up"
+SkyeWithAnE tbf it's often written out as "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" which makes calling it "Light Em Up" valid, according to general music culture. Nice example is The Beatles' She's So Heavy(I Want You.) Referring to it as either works.
I think they probably changed the lyrics on purpose, since they changed the melody as well :-) Considering it's so different to the original, it's awesome!
Though I prefer the original by fallout boy, I think Taylor did an awesome job not mimicking the band and making it her own. For those who are saying she should have put more enthusiasm into it, she made it look effortless which to be honest is just her style XD
I saw them live in Glasgow last night, it was the last night of their month long tour with FOB, they were absolutely amazing in comparison to this but I'm sure they were just absolutely exhausted after the month long tour and if they'd had a day off this would have been a million times better! Love taylor though! She's perfection!
Didn't think this was a terrible cover, it was alright....people are actually complaining that they don't like it because it sounds different...anyway she's clearly holding a paper with the lyrics, it seems like an unplanned thing. Would have probably sounded better if they had a chance to rehearse more.
Yeah no, I highly doubt that it was unplanned. They looked like they knew what they were doing. Just a pretty bad cover... I mean what was the point of that? She sang 2-3 lines of the entire song, it didn't add anything to the actual song. Boring.
Then explain why she has a sheet with the lyrics. Not singing the entire song =/= bad cover. This not appealing to your personal taste =/= bad cover. If you can't give a concrete reason for your dislike I'm going to assume that you are unaware that covers are a bands interpretation of a song in their own style. It seems as though you always want the song to be exactly the same as the original. Which is what's really boring.
I think it was probably planned but not rehearsed due to the fact that just 2 days before this video (not sure of actual air date but maybe same day) Pretty Reckless finished touring with Fall Out Boy in Glasgow (I was there) so yeah
She was amazing at Wembley on Thursday but this just seems a bit poor to be honest. Its like she couldn't be bothered. Its a shame because i absolutely adore her but this could be so much better
I don't think she was stoned. I'm pretty sure she has anxiety and I think the sunglasses help her calm herself. But she could have been stoned too but in this case I think she was just dealing with anxiety.
Everyone's bitching about how this doesn't sound good/the same as the original. UM MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S A COVER. "Cover" is the key word here - meaning doing your own personal take on someone else's song. Taylor sounded great, the guys sounded great, so that means it was a successful cover. If they did it the exact same as the original then it would be pointless. As far as Taylor reading lyrics and everyone complaining because she just toured with them, um maybe she isn't a FOB fan. She doesn't have to be? Sure, she toured with them but that doesn't mean shit. Personally I highly doubt FOB is a band that Taylor and the guys would listen to as they're all generally more into classic rock and metal. Does that make them assholes? No. Fuck up and enjoy the music because it's awesome and stop nit-picking.
Did they use the guitar rhythm from The Day I Tried to Live by Soundgarden? Because it kinda sounds like it. I'm not complaining just making an observation.
You are all kind of forgetting that The pretty Reckless have a very different style of music, it is very different from FOB. They are currently touring withFOB and Radio 1 probably asked them to do it because it was well known. Her music is amazing and your saying they dont loook into it at all but she always looks like that. Even live wheni went to wstch her, i thought she was possessed. Seriously though listen to going to hell, make me wanna die, my medicine and heaven knows. Thos songs are so sexy and smooth and this song is just not suited to her at all. They were just trying to make it fit their style.

LOVE THIS COVER ITS SO UNIQUE
I'm a huge Fall Out Boy fan and I absolutely love this cover
You know you are a rockstar when you use sunglasses in the fucking dark lol
Juai nott? She could've just not done her eye makeup or something :P
Tbh I thought they were gonna perform their own song Light Me Up, but I wasn't disappointed. Nice cover
Me too
her voice is literally perfect! I'm in love with their new album, and this cover is amazing too! She's also such a big inspiration - music-wise.
They're always flawless live
you haven't seen much live performances from them then xD

He had a lyric sheet for Uptown Funk??
+Lena H Ye that's what fell down near the end
pretty reckless + fob is such a good combination!
Love the mashup they did with that guitar intro of The Day I Tried To Live by Soundgarden🤘🏽
Me too
OMG I'M CRYING,MY 2 FAV BANDS IN ONE SONG!!!!!!!!
Same!!!
Can't believe I missed TPR in the live lounge... first decent band in ages and I miss them.
I really like her style
I wait this moment for so many years ! So proud of TPR
In all fairness, when they were on the radio thry did say they had only got in from glasgow a little before hand and had barely slept
Wow, amazing! I love Fall Out Boy and I love The Pretty Reckless ♥
Im seriously in love with her voice.
appreciating that Soundgarden intro
I just love this!! Very raw.. Good job!
love this so much, guitar at the beginning is epic
sunglasses inside...rock n roll!
People need to stop call her Cindy Lou Who or Littler J she is Taylor Momsen for God.
Hell Yeah! !!! You are so damn right! Aspeacially because the personality she is showing in reallife is so very different to that roles!!
She is AMAZING!!!
i love this more then original one))))))
This is amazing! Love this band
I LOVE HER VOICE FOR THIS SONG
2 of my favorite bands. amazing.
I prefer this version. They did a great job.
THIS IS GOLD 😱
Eveytime I hear her voice I can't help myself from smiling.
wearing sunglasses in such a dimly lit room, must make them nearly blind during this performance =P
ImmortalSparrow yup lol but as a performer I can tell you that you feel the music anyway not see it besides even though it doesn't apply to this performance usually you switch from dimly lit to spotlights blinding you add in strobes and stage lights and yer not gonna see anything anyway plus don't forget you gotta hide those bloodshot eyes man ha ha
Acuttly got chills this was so good :D
And she sang a song from Fall Out Boy, one of the best rock band, with TPR ! Crazyyy
she had lyrics right infront of her and still got them wrong.... And they had just come if a tour with FOB...
she got sunglasses on, so you know
***** Still her fault.
I really don't like Fall Out Boy, but Taylor's voice is able to save any song!
I saw her live on friday, they are amazing live
I love it!
Oh wow! This is excellent.
That intro though, a bit of ''The day I tried to live'' by Soundgarden
totaly
Yeah haha i was thinking the same thing
yeah....I am going to listen to that instead.
her voice is sexier than the scarlett johansson '-'
When she's singing maybe but not talking
Am I only one who got really annoyed that they didn't even get the name of the song right.... It's "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" not "Light Em Up"
They did in the description.
No you're not.
the put the proper song name in the description.
+SkyeWithAnE tbf it's often written out as "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" which makes calling it "Light Em Up" valid, according to general music culture. Nice example is The Beatles' She's So Heavy(I Want You.) Referring to it as either works.
Yes!!

She kept saying "light Em up" it's "light Em up up up"
Wow different interpretation so horrible. Everything must be exactly the same.
love it !
Amazing!!!!'
I adore you Taylor :*****
Just saying, this made me really wanna listen to the Day I Tried to Live.
rocking voice !!
She es AMAZING!!!
I love how the guy with bass doesn't even flinch like the whole time haha
Taylor momsen is so good omg
Urgh. This is perfect♥
I am extremely happy about this!
great band, great cover
i love the pretty reckless ! great jod!
so dark and mysterious
loved it
I had a dream that this band performed an acoustic cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Gold Dust Woman."
_That has to become real!_
oh god. YES!
its so much better than fob version. i dont really like the new songs of fob but u did it awesome *-*
Don't think much of this song at all but boy does she have an awesome voice!
So light em up up up
I'm on fireeeeee
Fave
That was dope
This was great i just wish it lasted longer.
only just seen them on monday!
Great cover :D
My life is now complete.
Taylor's voice is amazing x
She was amazing at Wembley on Thursday but this just seems a bit poor to be honest. Its like she couldn't be bothered. Its a shame because i absolutely adore her but this could be so much better
i agree, she could do much better. this felt lazy? yeah kinda. but still its taylor.
In all fairness though they did say that they had barely gotten any sleep beforehand. Although I agree with you they must be exhausted.
her voice is literally velvet
Damn, that was pretty good.
I never understood why celebrities, or people I guess, wear sunglasses inside. Especially in dimly lit rooms. How the hell do you see lol
She was stoned
Yeah haha id say she was probably high.
So stoned.
I don't think she was stoned. I'm pretty sure she has anxiety and I think the sunglasses help her calm herself. But she could have been stoned too but in this case I think she was just dealing with anxiety.
Alejandro Santos SHE WAS HIGH AS A FUCKING KITE
Luv* *Underneath*IT*ALL* 🔥 Burning 🔥 Intensity 🔥
soundgarden day i tried to live

pretty cool remix
Oh My Taylor! Her voice:'))
This is fucking amazing
Her voice doe
yes yes yes!!!
😍😍
Dios mio su voz

That was awesome omg
Oh my god. 0_0 woooooowww
It's not a cover.
It's another song.
BUT IT'S SO COOL
You'd think after being one of the opening bands for Fall Out Boy's tour last week that she wouldn't need to read the lyrics from a piece of paper.
The worst part is that she didn't even read them right lol
The fact they toured with them for 3 weeks. You'd expect they would know the band they're supports main track O_O
Taylor's voice though! 💕
wish I could post a pic- did a really cool drawing of her...
The begining reminds me "The day I tried to live" by Soundgarden.
She just can't be arsed by the look of it.

There's something bad, I don't know what, but there is ...
