    I like the fact they changed it into their own style rather than just doing something close to the original. Also the sinister sound they have is a good contrast to the uplifting lyrics.

      @renijomyers 7 лет назад +158

      That's not really fair to Pharel (sp?). I don't like most of his songs, but he's a talented guy for sure, and writes most of his stuff by himself or with his partner from The Neptunes.
