i really hate people who sing other singers songs and make them sound like crap but Ingrid doesn't copy it she actually puts her feeling into it making it sound so different Ingrid is amazing
The best cover of this song by a woman is by Tori Amos. I feel it to my core when she sings it. I'm not feeling this one. Being a cover, it is left to the artist's interpretation, but there is a feeling behind it which has to be conveyed, and I don't find this believable at all. There's an emotional disconnect, like she has no idea what this could ever feel like.
Big Radiohead fan, and this is one of my favourite songs to hear be covered. I think it's a great judge of someone's voice and artistic interpretation and I think she does a lovely job of it.
Saw her in Austin years ago when she was just starting to cover Creep live, she just broke out a ukulele and started to play I was amazing. And she wouldn't say "you're so fucking special" until the last verse which made it so much more powerful and emotional. One of my favorite moments at a live show ever.
What makes an artist is the ability to evoke the emotional theme of a song to the listener. What makes a great artist is the ability to do that in an original and compelling way that may make the listener feel something new in a song they've heard many times before. I think Ingrid has done that here.
When you were here before I couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world You think you're so special I wish that I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am i doing here? No, I don't belong here And I don't care if it hurts Cause' I want to have control (Oh)I want a perfect body And I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when i'm not around When i'm not around You think you're so special And I wish that I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell i'm doing here? No, I don't belong here Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want Whatever you want You think you're so special Well, I wish that I was special Cause' I'm a creep I'm and I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? (Oh, no) I don't belong here I don't belong here I took my time to change the parts that she changed. I really love her voice and everything about her ♥️
I saw her perform this live in Chicago last year when she was touring with Keane. It was unbelievable. She sounds this flawless live, I swear. She is a rare treasure to the music world.
This choice reflects the power of the lyrics and that everyone has been an: outcast, longed for something or longed for someone outside of their grasp at one point in time.
Oh my goodness gracious this is simply enchanting, and you gave me chills... you've the voice of an angel my dear... bless your heart forever plus a day for that... ✊✌💘🙏
Both are great because they sing the song and there's purpose. It's art. either way it's still right. I don't understand why people have to constantly hate on singers/actors/painters.. artist. Like really? They are out there trying. Living for their art and people like you are like.. No. Like seriously appreciate beauty in things.
A few weeks ago I went on a date with a man that saw me through rose colored glasses. That night at his place he decided to take out his uke to sing to me. It was 4am & I was ready to go home after listening to his many covers of songs I didnt know. Then he played this; something I knew & loved. I saw his soul that night & I will never forget him or the voice that came out of the most unsuspecting body. This song always makes me smile because of him where ever he is. I met an angel that night.
This is the only version of creep I can sing along to. I get all pitchy trying to sing the Radiohead version because my voice isn't as awesomely manly as Thom Yorke's. Thanks Ingrid :)
I like this almost as much as the original. The little tweaks to the lyrics actually provide a twist to the interpretation, instead of sounding like forced censorship.
I love her version of this song. I think it connected with me a lot more than the original. Not that I don't like the original or anything. I feel they both brought their own thing to the song and I love them both.
Why are so many people writing negative comments?! This is AMAZING! There are HEAPS of Creep Covers on RUclips, but this one by Ingrid Michaelson seems to be the one that everyone is choosing for Dance Routines. This is an amazing song...Better then Radiohead's Version (I think).
alleen Ingrid s dat is mij ware liefde die ik 2007/2008 in Utrecht ontmoet heb I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER💞 SAMEN💙 Ik wil snel ons wonder bewonderen die ik nog nooit gezien heb als ik moet geloven dat wonder veel op mij lijkt zo wel in uiterlijk als innerlijk klopt dat Ingrid? van jou Ingrid accepteer ik alles jij bent eerlijk en betrouwbaar daar houw ik van liefs 💋💋💋 Stefan.
Wow. I wouldn't have thought she would have been able to do this song justice, because it's dark and broody, but she does and I enjoy it. I've come to realise she could cover any song and it would be good.
@fdsdarkgrunt Shes not implying that she is a creep. Just because she is acknowledging the beauty of the song by covering it doesn't make her a creep. She is just singing it. Because she sings it doesn't make her a creep.
I at first thought that her voice was to perfect for this song... I am so glad that I had stuck around... her voice captures it's essence perfectly!!! Repeat, again;)
everyone can feel like a 'creep' at times, however unlikely it may seem, im sure this song is universally relevant to everyone, and she has done a beautiful cover on i song i previously believed could never be 'covered' with any success
I really really like this cover, it's not the original but it's her own artistic version, don't hate because you don't think it doesn't have the same intensity as the original. It's her own melow typed version of this song, in my opinion it's beautiful.
Thank God I found you! Heard you on a dance recital vid (dance awards) Quinn Starner danced to your version & won. In my opinion, you won when you decided to sing this..... really love it. Will be following you from now on, you have a sensational voice! Love from Blighty (on hubbys I pad) 😀x obviously to singer but thanks to you for posting otherwise I wouldn't have found her. Searched & searched & listened to bloody loads of versions,.
She was connecting personally with the song, and the quirky rhythms were genuine, not forced. Ingrid Michaelson does seem like a bit of a "weirdo" (not necessarily in a negative way!) and she was communicating it well. People need to get over their prejudices of what the song SHOULD sound like. She's just a very different type of weirdo than Radiohead, so of course her rendition will sound different.
She kills me with her voice... it is so beautiful
i really hate people who sing other singers songs and make them sound like crap but Ingrid doesn't copy it she actually puts her feeling into it making it sound so different Ingrid is amazing
It's just a song until you actually experience it
tylerwhoitbe Experience it? I live it haha... Truly /:

Yeah, me too. Interesting version but Thom's will never be surpassed.
I cannot get over her talent. she can literally cover any song and make it pure gold.
This is my favorite Radiohead song. I do believe Ingrid Michaelson has made it even better!! She is amazing!!
I love creep covers. It shows people are united in their isolation. No one is ever truly alone.
Saw her in Austin years ago when she was just starting to cover Creep live, she just broke out a ukulele and started to play I was amazing.

i love radiohead. i love ingrid michaelson. together it's friggin UNREAL!!
I've been listening to this song non-stop all day. Ingrid is permanently engraved into my soul...
Shes none of those things. She is amazing. She has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
Hot damn, this has to do on the list of best covers, not just of Creep, over all! bravo
When you were here before
I couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
You think you're so special
I wish that I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am i doing here?
No, I don't belong here
And I don't care if it hurts
Cause' I want to have control
(Oh)I want a perfect body
And I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when i'm not around
When i'm not around
You think you're so special
And I wish that I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell i'm doing here?
No, I don't belong here
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
You think you're so special
Well, I wish that I was special
Cause' I'm a creep
I'm and I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? (Oh, no)
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I took my time to change the parts that she changed. I really love her voice and everything about her ♥️

Her voice could carry me away, just so angelic and soulful, and with such beauty to mach:)
this son is so heartbreaking
if only "heart breaking" could describe how it feels...
OMG, beeessttt version of this song EVER.
I absolutely love Radiohead but Ingrid Michaelson definitely made it her own.
Oh! Ingrid! You are the angel! I can't stop listening your angel voice and admire your beauty!
Oh my goodness gracious this is simply enchanting, and you gave me chills... you've the voice of an angel my dear... bless your heart forever plus a day for that... ✊✌💘🙏
Both are great because they sing the song and there's purpose. It's art. either way it's still right. I don't understand why people have to constantly hate on singers/actors/painters.. artist.

I discovered her for the first time on Conan!
Gotta love her voice! So much talent!
She´s a sirene!!! beautiful!
This is great. Her voice gives me chills.
God, I have felt that way so many times.
Thank you Radiohead and thank you Ingrid Michaelson for the beautiful interpretation.

I met an angel that night.
Loved it when I saw her perform this live!
she makes it sounds effortless to sound angelic.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love this song any more than I already did, but then I heard her cover. Absolutely amazing.
This is the only version of creep I can sing along to. I get all pitchy trying to sing the Radiohead version because my voice isn't as awesomely manly as Thom Yorke's. Thanks Ingrid :)
This is perfection.
I think every aspect of this is simply beautiful.
I saw her performing creep yesterday in cologne - it was one of the best performances I`ve ever heard in my life!!!!
How is it that I'm barely hearing this now? Absolutely amazing.
Live version is amazing
I like this almost as much as the original. The little tweaks to the lyrics actually provide a twist to the interpretation, instead of sounding like forced censorship.
I was there, too. I just closed my eyes and enjoyed...
This seriously made my night
she is simply amazing.
WOW! JUST WOW!
I love her version of this song. I think it connected with me a lot more than the original. Not that I don't like the original or anything. I feel they both brought their own thing to the song and I love them both.
This breaks my heart.. She is incredible.
I already love Radiohead...this just made me tear up...
Why are so many people writing negative comments?! This is AMAZING! There are HEAPS of Creep Covers on RUclips, but this one by Ingrid Michaelson seems to be the one that everyone is choosing for Dance Routines. This is an amazing song...Better then Radiohead's Version (I think).
Just felt in love with this cover! :)
alleen Ingrid s dat is mij ware liefde die ik 2007/2008 in Utrecht ontmoet heb I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER💞 SAMEN💙
Ik wil snel ons wonder bewonderen die ik nog nooit gezien heb als ik moet geloven dat wonder veel op mij lijkt zo wel in uiterlijk als innerlijk klopt dat Ingrid?
van jou Ingrid accepteer ik alles jij bent eerlijk en betrouwbaar daar houw ik van liefs 💋💋💋 Stefan.
i love the humming bit...it sounds like shes almost in tears lol
Ingrid Michaelson covering Radiohead? Perfection.
ya luv this version soo much!
She´s a great musician!!! A genius!
Wow. I wouldn't have thought she would have been able to do this song justice, because it's dark and broody, but she does and I enjoy it. I've come to realise she could cover any song and it would be good.

Ingrid is my Queen
64 Just want to watch the world burn. This is gorgeous. Ingrid's voice!
I at first thought that her voice was to perfect for this song... I am so glad that I had stuck around... her voice captures it's essence perfectly!!! Repeat, again;)
it's called expression in the voice, and she does it so beautifully and powerfully. x
i love that she does covers ^_^
This was beautifully haunting.
When the Bible refers to a choir of angels, it really means a song in which Ingrid has recorded all the voice parts herself.
This cover equals my senior year of hs. makes me cry every time. I love being touched by music
love it
I love it this girl
i love this nearly as much as i love the original, it's almost like it's sad in a different way
Wow Ingrid really jammed this one out what a great soulfully Beautiful job Babes!!!
I'm doing this song for my school talent show in her version and I think that I can do it almost as well!!! wish me luck
goodluck buddy !
veronica Farren how did it go then?
I’m 3 years late but good luck haha
How did you show go?!?
Best song cover ever!
i envy her voice... so unique.
beautiful. love it
One of the best versions.
everyone can feel like a 'creep' at times, however unlikely it may seem, im sure this song is universally relevant to everyone, and she has done a beautiful cover on i song i previously believed could never be 'covered' with any success
This is just amazing. :3 Completely renewed the song for me
I love it
lovely version of the song. extremely well done
I really really like this cover, it's not the original but it's her own artistic version, don't hate because you don't think it doesn't have the same intensity as the original. It's her own melow typed version of this song, in my opinion it's beautiful.
All i can say is..... WOW...
Thank God I found you! Heard you on a dance recital vid (dance awards) Quinn Starner danced to your version & won. In my opinion, you won when you decided to sing this..... really love it. Will be following you from now on, you have a sensational voice! Love from Blighty (on hubbys I pad) 😀x obviously to singer but thanks to you for posting otherwise I wouldn't have found her. Searched & searched & listened to bloody loads of versions,.
Luv it soooooooo much
I'm high as shit and the deepness of the song and the explanation of the interpretation of the original and the cover is beautiful.
omg my favourite band being covered by my favourite female singer!!! :)
You have a most awsome voice.
Love it!
She sounds so much better live.
Just saw her sing this at the Greek Theater in LA. Best song of the entire concert. Pretty amazing considering it's just a ukulele and her voice...
gosh she's amazing
Her version of this song is so haunting.
Ingrid is amazing. This cover is amazing, everyone stfu she is such a good singer
This song perfectly describes my life and how I feel in relation to myself and the world... :(
I love this song so much.
Sings it better than anyone else.
@acitybythesea E, G#, A (or A7), Am7.
Play E on uke on 5th fret, G# on 3rd, A on 4th and Am7 of 5th too!
classic!!!
She did a great cover1
I don't like the original song. I love the lyrics but not the sound. This cover has to be one of the best I've heard of it.
What??? I like Eliza Doolittle but that was an awful cover
The only real version is Radiohead's. Sorry, I love Ingrid and want to have her children but Radiohead cannot be outdone.
i relate my dude
i relate my dude
i relate my dude
Your voice is beautiful I love your cover of this song!
oh my god this is perfect
I still remember the words.....
very creative! great job!!!
I like everything, Ingrid; everything but the end..for both reasons. Any inquiries coming my way are welcome.
She was connecting personally with the song, and the quirky rhythms were genuine, not forced. Ingrid Michaelson does seem like a bit of a "weirdo" (not necessarily in a negative way!) and she was communicating it well. People need to get over their prejudices of what the song SHOULD sound like. She's just a very different type of weirdo than Radiohead, so of course her rendition will sound different.
