Incredible song by Radiohead... Then Chrissie comes along, sprinkles her fairy dust and lifts this song to something extraordinary. Just wow!!! She poured everything into this track. Thank you.
@@templarseries V interesting. That I didn't know. I'm humming the Hollies tune right now as I type and the similarity is there. Every day is a school day. Regards.
This is NOT A COVER--it is a rendition, and a superbly beautiful one at that. Indeed, it is the most exceptional rendition of "Creep" that I have heard. To be preformed live and acoustically makes this Pretenders' interpretation of Radiohead's song all the more special.
@@kleven707 I was presenting a rhetorical evaluation of the art from my own perspective. As of this day, at least 47 people have understood that even if you do not. Then again, perhaps you are merely a troll trying to provoke a semantic pissing contest?
@@DoBraveryFPS Funny that you should mention that particular song, which is exceptional, as it is another example where I personally prefer a (as a sop to kleven707, I'll say "cover") to the original. In this case, it is the Simply Red rendition.
How is it unnecessary when it's in the original lyrics of the song? The actual lyrics say, "you're so fucking special", so that's probably why she sang it like that. Also she's an adult and is allowed to use grown up words.
Brillant is still brillant versus what I range from absolutely unspeakable rubbish to overpriced dog Sh*t that is being forced on us today from these so called artists with their accidentally release sex tapes and wordrobe malfunctions and the like. Brillant tune from a brillant band from a time long past. Thank god for youtube.
was listening to the radio and 2000 miles went on, and i went back 35 years and remembered how beautiful she was. so ive spent 2 houres on youtube watching old videos. ;) happy memories.
Back in the day, in the eighties, I wanted so badly to be Chrissie Hynde. In my late fifties, I finally heard both the original, and a couple other later covers, including this one. Have always loved the song and the melodies. Suddenly, coming up on 60, the lyrics hit me, blended with the melodic carriage. Damn. Just damn.😎❤️
You know you've done something special when other musically gifted artists can't help recording their version of your song and made it something even more so fucking special.
Chrissie Hynde is the fucking greatest! I could listen to her sing the phonebook. She can take any song and turn it into her own, she's done it from the beginning. Kinks songs, Smiths songs, it don't matter, she puts her stamp on it. Thanks for the upload.
Creep is an emotional, beautiful song and brings a melancholy that can be easily recognized by anyone who has been a misfit, a geek during adolescence. I remember this painful feeling that affected me when I was 17. Strangely, hear these notes today brings me something good, a kind of nostalgia for the days when I was naive enough to fall in love with a girl who lived in another universe. Any being the pretenders or radiohead. Both bands are able to translate the emotions of love nerds with sufficient accuracy.
TheTophat22 I imagine you're very young, and like to study and not very good at sports. In this case, you are part of a huge tribe, in which the first loves are always problematic. I know this does not count much now, but believe me, in a few years you will start to become more successful in the art of amorous conquest. Until then, have patience or distract yourself with the help of love professionals. Do this only if you have no moral constraints in this regard. But be careful. remember the condoms.
Osório Thomaz "I was naive enough to fall in love with a girl who lived in another universe..." I think we've all been there... Great line. Muito Obrigado Osorio.
i grew up listening to Chrisie Hynd and the Pretenders, absolutely love this version even more than Radioheads original which is a true classic. im getting powerful shivers through my body listening to this! i did not know the Pretenders even covered it untill a friend posted the link to this video.
Best version I've seen so far, outside of Radiohead's original one. Chrissie is simply sensational. I've liked many of the covers I've seen, some not so much, but most are decent or pretty good, but Hynde's taken it to a whole other level of awesomeness, to a wow level all the way.
I went to see a Pretenders concert in Earls Court back in 84, and to this day it’s the best gig I ever went to. My only regret is not going to see her perform again…
Yeah, I grew up in the city in Philly and now live in America's finest city San Diego where women are smoking hot, as is my wife. Crissy might be hot enough for ugly ass, toothless, drugged out Ray Davies( or was) but not hot enough for me. Just the fact that you use the word blokes shows you're a fucking weirdo ass foreigner. America, don't you wish you could be here, open spaces, beauitful beaches, big houses, enjoy your 500 sq foot flat with cockroaches...lol
Mike Atkins Hey Mike...Ray is a well respected man, on this sunny afternoon! I wonder what a pup sired by Ray and delivered by Crissy would have looked like? Not ugly...not pretty..just, well, kinda middle of the road. Oh and, I'm not from Cabbage-patchville either. I'm a 27 year career firefighter, I and my smokin'-hot wife live in Texas. Cheers to all those other poor blokes, right?!
Holy shitsnacks, that is an impressive interpretation and powerful performance. This gives me goosebumps Well done Chrissie! Especially hitting those high notes!! I took notice! :)
My fav version of this song, Chrissies the shit. I feel like this song pulls something out in everybody, usually a dark or tough time they went through or are going through
This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever watched on RUclips or listened to online. It ain't flash, it's not dramatic, it's not some mind blowing vocal, it's not some mega exciting arrangement. It's just a bone fide rock goddess doing what she does best alongside musicians/band mates that she trusts. And in doing so she pays tribute to a masterpiece of a song.
My 30 yr old kid just asked who my top three musicians were. Chrissie Hynde and Thom Yorke were two of the three. How did I not know Chrissie did a a Radiohead cover!? OMG! The best of both worlds. This just made my quarantine day a bit better.
I have always loved this song! Now I have the best version of it!🙂 Thank you Chrissie you are so special to me! my true hero!Bless you Lady!🙂❤️✌🏻🙏🏼✨Bw.
I am old school. Grew up in North East Ohio. I have known about this band since the '70s. Chrissie Hynde is an unbelievable talent. Enjoy this video. She could do any cover song that she wanted to. ---DL
I saw them live in the mid 80's and was blown away. I wasn't expecting it. But I've noticed that many really great bands began by playing tons of local shows, and earned a reputation as a great live band. They worked hard and paid their dues. The challenge was to capture that energy in a studio. The mediocre bands were never good live. The studio had the challenge of using techniques to improve their sound. It's inauthentic and lacks something, something exciting, and something that began local, live, and by word of mouth. I saw Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago before they put out an album. I knew they were special, and I'm glad they succeeded. They earned it. Too bad Billy Corgan couldn't be more like Chrissie. She's never acted like an arrogant rock star. She stayed true to her roots. And I love her for that.
A brilliant musician doing a brilliant cover of a brilliant song by other brilliant musicians ...... ‘ oh wait a minute it’s a girl, aww not bad, good effort ‘ behave yourselves, this is fantastic, an absolute must watch and listen, musicians at the top of their game 👍😎💪🎧
Chrissie Hynde was the first female rock singer that actually made men forget that she was female. She's so good, she's just called a singer, not a female singer. That was a huge step.
Allan Ostermann my name is Terri I like ch because she frightened amazed and had me to shout out in truth. I know. Well I so now. She helps me find who I really am so very special. Come on. Tm
I clicked on this hoping it was this was what I was going to hear. It's even better than I thought it could have been. Chrissie is one of my heroines! :-D
this combines two of my favourites - chrissie hynde and self-loathing
Yep😉
Love it
It’s December 2023 now and I always like listening to her beautiful voice, thanks ❤
yep ı listen to
Me also
Incredible song by Radiohead...
Then Chrissie comes along, sprinkles her fairy dust and lifts this song to something extraordinary. Just wow!!!
She poured everything into this track.
Thank you.
Probably one the best covers!
Creep is lifted from air that I breathe by the hollies IMHO.
@@templarseries V interesting. That I didn't know. I'm humming the Hollies tune right now as I type and the similarity is there. Every day is a school day. Regards.
Hai ragione, è una Fata🎉
Great version....Chrissie Hynde...You're Special....You're so Fucking Special.....
Like this version
Chrissie's version makes it her own!
Yeah I thought it was awesome...
Chrissie's voice cuts through all my senses and goes straight to my soul.
Chrissie Hynde is special.
Distinctive voice and a great rocker.
So true
My absolute favorite cover of all time!!! Chrissie Hynde has such an amazing voice.
I regret I only am allowed to give one thumbs up.This lady sings from the heart.
This is NOT A COVER--it is a rendition, and a superbly beautiful one at that. Indeed, it is the most exceptional rendition of "Creep" that I have heard. To be preformed live and acoustically makes this Pretenders' interpretation of Radiohead's song all the more special.
It is called a cover. When anyone does someone else's work, it is always been a "cover"

Nah guys... What will really stick in your craw is whether Creep is a rip, cover, rendition, of The Air That I Breath by the Hollies
@@DoBraveryFPS Funny that you should mention that particular song, which is exceptional, as it is another example where I personally prefer a (as a sop to kleven707, I'll say "cover") to the original. In this case, it is the Simply Red rendition.

2020
This is the 1st time I have heard the Pretenders do this one. Love it !
Wow! What a Voice! SHE"S So Fucking so Special!! LOVE YOU CHRISSIE!!!!!!
+Steve Ireland Pity about the unnecessary swear word chucked into the song.
How is it unnecessary when it's in the original lyrics of the song? The actual lyrics say, "you're so fucking special", so that's probably why she sang it like that.
Also she's an adult and is allowed to use grown up words.

Brillant tune from a brillant band from a time long past. Thank god for youtube.
Actually, she'd tell you, "But not me baby I'm too precious, fuck off"
Chrissy killed it! Kind of a hard song to sing with all those notes, but not for her. Piece of cake! God that was outstanding! ❤
If you ever have a chance to hear her in concert you'll have no regrets. Beautiful Lady.
Shove in your Amazing-Slushee-Savor
Chrissie Hynde is one of the greatest
Totally agree with you!
One of the greatest "pretenders"!!! 🍒🍆
She's a lady.
Sex on legs , with a fantastic voice
Completely! Her Voice is Hauntingly Beautiful !
i'm 55 today and still have a Chrissie Hynde poster on my wall
Nob grow up
I'm 65 (not just) today and still have a Chrissie Hynde poster on my wall

Pure 'Fucking" talent. Takes Radiohead's song to perfection.
Prince’s song I think?
@@fairywaifgirl9013 The Hollies.
Actually,... written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood.
Now this is a freaking amazing cover done with the most incredible talent and amazing artist.. job well done!!!
Your right up there with her... joan
How cool this is! But, after all there's only one Joan Jett!!
I love the fact that Chrissie doesn't change "She's running out the door" into "He's running out the door".
AND THAT *SHE HAS "(The~BaLLs) LoL. to Stick to *[ "The-ORIGINAL" ] Chorus~Lyrics As Opposed to Saying "VERY" - (Special) .!!!!!!!! €¥£ ^
Chrissie Hynde is so magnificent. Kudos to Radiohead - it's their song & it's a great song. Ms Hynde just polishes it to perfection!!
They should have released this. It awesome! It fits her voice!
Oh. My.God! Chrissy's voice is what makes me cry. So beautiful, so passionate.
Back in the day, in the eighties, I wanted so badly to be Chrissie Hynde.
In my late fifties, I finally heard both the original, and a couple other later covers, including this one.
Have always loved the song and the melodies.

Damn.
Just damn.😎❤️
Awesome cover of a great tune. This rendition shows Chrissie at her peak. She just snarls angst.
A big Halleluja for Chrissie and her incredible voice. In every note and tone you can feel her soul....Thanks Chrissie!!!!
What a chilling version,gives me shivers.She's the best.First time I've heard this song.I'm completely flabbergasted,amazed.
Perfectly stated

Chrissie has the kind of voice to pull this off so well. Excellent performance, thanks for sharing it
i grew up listening to Chrisie Hynd and the Pretenders, absolutely love this version even more than Radioheads original which is a true classic.
im getting powerful shivers through my body listening to this!
i did not know the Pretenders even covered it untill a friend posted the link to this video.
Chrissie I lived next-door to you in London, your music has moved me and continues to do so. Thank you for shining through x
@ahumanstain Sometimes big league performers seem to forget their beginnings and where their real support comes from.
I absolutely 100% love her voice
Honestly the perfect version
Female vocals. Acoustic guitar & Drums are on point! As a skeptical critic. This is FUCKIN perfect.
Best version I've seen so far, outside of Radiohead's original one. Chrissie is simply sensational. I've liked many of the covers I've seen, some not so much, but most are decent or pretty good, but Hynde's taken it to a whole other level of awesomeness, to a wow level all the way.
Agree.
Haley Reinhardt, Post Modern Jukebox' s version. Check it out and all of their other covers.
Loved that version. Her voice is in a class by itself. Like Karen Carpenter. It was amazing. Besides … I really dig Crissie Hynde
Also try out Prince’s Coachella live Creep rendering … quite exceptional.
She's more than special, there are no words to describe her
idyllic - iconic musical goddess, springs to mind
Phil Wright I love her I saw her singing this song in the 70s song in the seventies beautiful singing
She is so fuking ...special...:-)!
Love her voice. What a classic!
Wow, I would not have expected Chrissie's voice to work for this song, but it's a spectacular version.
The best "Creep" version, sung with so much deep rooted feeling, it brings me to tears! Love, Kathy ❤
You have not heard the best. "BRIAN JUSTIN CRUM" SING IT!!!!!!!
The minute she opens her mouth you know it’s her! What a voice I love this cover❤️
Dam I've loved this women's voice since the first time I heard her sing
Ooofff. Chrissie is just so special. I miss such female artists, so much better than todays pop stars.
She articulates, I have never understood the lyrics before.
She nailed it.
Yes she does
The fusion of her vioce and the violent and then spot-on bass is divine.
First time I've heard Chrissie cover this, and has totally made it her own. My favorite song of the 90's, The pretenders one of my favorite bands.
Perfect piece for her.
She is a great artist !
I've always loved Chrissy Hyndes amazing talent!!!
your not a bad looking woman yourself Raechel Framtom
bastard face I appreciate that. Would love to have Chrissy's voice. ❤️
Radiohead's version is better
Carl Mitchinson They both have their own unique sound. I just like Chrissy as a female artist! She's very unique and gifted. Always has been.
Only heard version once but i agree with u she is a great singer but ive got radiohead on cd so i like it better
I went to see a Pretenders concert in Earls Court back in 84, and to this day it’s the best gig I ever went to. My only regret is not going to see her perform again…
What a great voice: so cool! She's beautiful and gorgeuos. I'm crying...
Great voice and talent but beautiful?gorgeous? She kinda looks like a dude.
Mike Atkins Well, maybe kinda likeTom Petty's twin sister or somethng.

Shes just amazing, this version is so different. I really like it and I have never liked a female cover of this song before. Truly Beautiful
Can't get enough of this. It is absolutely amazing.

What a stupid comment. Really we are so offensive you have to forget we are women? Wtf is wrong with you?
Worst commentary ever
no words can explain what I feel when I listen this song.
I agree...
Best cover of this song.
I'm not even going to try to decide whether I like this cover or the original better. They both touch the deepest parts of your soul.
53 and just got an education. Did not know the Pretenders did this. Respect now.
Absolutely the best version!
I love this woman
Her voice is beautiful
Wow. What a great song. What a great singer. I could go on, but if you're here you already know.
