I don't understand what everyone's criticizing, I think this version is BRILLIANT. The original was so peppy and upbeat, it detracted from how truly disturbing and creepy the lyrics and message are. When Florence is singing it, that addiction doesn't sound optimistic, it sounds like an addiction.
The art of the cover is highly under appreciated. It's awesome to hear different people's takes on the same material - it means different things to everyone which influences how they want to present it. And the best part is, we can decide which ones we like best and listen to those! Personally, I'm a huge Florence fan she rules!
I don't get people who complain about her vocals like she only uses highnotes all the time. Florence is totally amazing without highnotes. she's able to hit the notes but also just as awesome in quiet songs like this. It's just her voice.
Because people have gotten used to hearing screaming and uncontrolled melisma ALL the time. The old design adage is applicable - "All emphasis is no emphasis". A decade of that and subtlety becomes boring - kind of like the way you slowly lose teh ability to hear soft music after listening to loud music for too long... you just can't hear it so you keep turning it up.
What a voice! She's hitting some real tough notes there... some day someone will do a tribute and it won't hit even half the spots she hits. I think I might be in love...
Your lights are on, but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another kiss is what it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss is all you need Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love You see the signs, but you can't read You're running at a different speed Your heart beats in double time Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind You can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Your lights are on, but you're not home Your will is not your own You're heart sweats and teeth grind Another kiss and you'll be mine Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Nope here are the top 3 Best Versions. 1. Robert Palmer (the original will always be the best) 2. Tina Turner (she's close second) 3. Florence Welch (ofcourse she had a great voice but i put her on third place)
I would have freaked if I had first heard this song on the radio. What a loss. lol. Saw the Endless Love trailer and they have this song playing... and it brought me here. Love it.
so people being introduced to a band from advertisement/a show/a movie means that they're not a real fan? I don't understand that logic, lmao. How would people discover new bands if they didn't get spread out some way?
+Amethyst Dowling Love BDSM. Hate 50 Shades. Force fed myself the first half of the first book, thinking, "It has to get better." But you can tell it was a Twilight fanfic. A poor one. :'D
Amethyst Dowling honey there's loads of great literature out there both classic and contemporary. Why don't you try some instead of preaching on RUclips about this piece of garbage?
Looked it up out of curiosity after Revlon commercial, thought it would be good based on a whole 2 measures in the commercial. I am sorely disappointed. The breathiness isn't so bad for me, I kind of like that, but this chick is all over the place as far as key. Flat half the time, sharp the other half - was she ever on key?
Jennifer H Hey, I have a music degree, and she is not out of tune. Also nobody says "on key" because it doesn't make any sense. you could say she's not singing diatonic notes (as it they are notes that are outside of the key of the rest of the song) but that's not what she's doing, or you could say that her intonation is off. But there is no such thing as being "on key" or "off key". That's not what a key is.
Tell Me Lies from Hulu brought me here. I love Florence + The Machine but had no idea that they did a cover of this classic. Bravo!
Tell me lies brought me here too!
Brought me here too as I’m watching before it airs season 2. Next week ❤
Same!!

for me, it's right up there with Holes cover of Gold Dust Woman, or Mansons Sweet Dreams.
"it detracted from how truly disturbing and creepy the lyrics and message are" excuse me, what?
P
Poppoooo oopp
its shit vs Robert Palmer ones which would be forever know as best
Just came across this when flicking through different versions of this song and your description nails it!

to the 15 people that disliked this, you are ridiculous, this song is unbelievable, so much staying power. good job Flo
Y'know what it is? The addition of that cello + driving drums and beat drops +Florence's sexy vocals . Love it! Yess!!💖🎶👌
I love what she did with this version of the song. I think her voice was just perfect for the song which made this rendition so amazing.
I LOVE this version!
As a dedicated fan of Robert Palmer, even I must say this is a rather brilliant cover.
She does it her way. Her voice is incredible.
God, I love her voice. She is just incredible. What a excellent cover!
I'm addicted to this version of the song :)
Love this arrangement of this song....I love Florence and the Machine..
I love this more than the original
I don't, but this is pretty smoothy too
only when she sings this song it speaks to my heart
Addicted to this song,
addicted to Florence
She sure can sing. Love her style
it always hit me with nostalgia, this is probably the best version for me.
The first time I heard this cover, I couldn't move for the first minute. Well done I think.
Dang! Every single song that I listen from this woman makes me fall in love! I'm obsessed, she's a TRUE artist! Viva Florence + The Machine!
The best cover ever.
I actually like her version better than the original. Her voice is absolutely lovely.
One of my favorite cover songs of all time.
Might as well face it im addicted to this song
I love Flo. Been a fan back in 2010. Her music has been an inspiration to my writing.
She totally gets the song :) I love it!
Florence, excellent as always. No words... 2020
Robert Palmer would love to hear Florence do this!! Love her!
I love this version it's just simple and beautiful
This song just give me the chills
Beautiful homage to the late Robert Palmer! Thanks for uploading clareisphit!
Addicted to this song
What a voice! She's hitting some real tough notes there... some day someone will do a tribute and it won't hit even half the spots she hits. I think I might be in love...
The Black Keys should do this version. It always reminds me of something they'd do.
yes
the best version of this song ever!!!! I love Florence's voice :)
Melhor que a versão do Palmer.
Florence Welch é inigualável.
You are deluded.
I remember finding this song in 2012. The good ol days
Might as well face it, I'm addicted to this song
Florence-- your amazing. YOur voice sends chills down my spine. Love this cover, love you!
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Nope here are the top 3 Best Versions.
1. Robert Palmer (the original will always be the best)
2. Tina Turner (she's close second)
3. Florence Welch (ofcourse she had a great voice but i put her on third place)
@@kevzsabz8253 Well you can't really just say nope when, someone opinion on a song is subjective.
fabulous music...love flo, love the background visuals, look between the notes, the lines.
simply beautiful
What a kick ass version of this song. I am addicted
Why does it always take me a week or 2 to finally look up the song from the Comercial?
wallflower 壁の花 your point? 😕
wallflower 壁の花 oh no its fine. Sorry for the way i said it. Should have worded it differently!
wallflower 壁の花 do you know which version that is? :o
***** haha same
It took me about 3 months
I would have freaked if I had first heard this song on the radio. What a loss. lol. Saw the Endless Love trailer and they have this song playing... and it brought me here. Love it.
i LOVE how stalker-y she makes this song sound
Love is one hell of a drug.
Can't get enought of that sweet sweet stuff.
The lip stick commercial version was actually done by EDDI FRONT. The full version is not available yet.
She is incredibly talented and has a beautiful voice. Let her share it with the world.
Guys try changing the speed of the video to 1.25
It sounds cool
somewhat
LOL! Just as I changed it to 1.25 she sang "You're runnin' at a different speed"
Why does it always take me a week or 2 to finally look up the song from the Comercial?
Killing eve
I love this more than the original
Heard this in "Endless Love" trailer...!!!
that version is actually Skylar Grey covering Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love for the film
imseekinmore i agree it was even posted on skylars facebook
i second this!!!! * hugs* from the states
At first i was like omfg a Robert Palmer song on a commercial.
its a literal cover its great
Oh Florence you are incredible. And You made me obsessed again. I love this version.
who else came here cause there a real F+the M fan and not cause you heard it on a make up commercial
so people being introduced to a band from advertisement/a show/a movie means that they're not a real fan? I don't understand that logic, lmao. How would people discover new bands if they didn't get spread out some way?
wow, you must be proud
Renaissance Ramon Sorry 😂
me!
R/gatekeeping
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT .!!!!!!!!! SO HAUNTING
I'm addicted to Florence and the Machine, I love her music. =)
Killing eve
What beautiful and enchanting voice. I
I might as well face it, I'm addicted to love…
THAT perfect voice..Just amazing!
Everytime I hear this song I think of Fifty Shades of Grey
Film_Fanatic Me too!!!!
Film_Fanatic Fifty shades of grey should be "addicted to lust"
+windwakerftw oh good grief...
+Amethyst Dowling Love BDSM. Hate 50 Shades. Force fed myself the first half of the first book, thinking, "It has to get better."
But you can tell it was a Twilight fanfic. A poor one. :'D
Amethyst Dowling honey there's loads of great literature out there both classic and contemporary. Why don't you try some instead of preaching on RUclips about this piece of garbage?
I love her covers, they are soo original and epic! Think is my new fav!
She reminds me of Adele but her voice is 100xs better than her.
The only resemblance that I hear to Adele is their natural vibrato and their ability harness and flourish it at master moments.
whos is better? adele or flourence
+RozilandTheNerd8
Florence!
Chamiso and she doesnt get nodes every time she releases an album
Adele and florence are both amazing in their on way! Dont Think of one better
Loving this version!
This would be great for 50 shades of Grey.
when someone elevates pop piece to an art :)
I like this version, but I just wish her vocalization was a little clearer and had more feeling.
I love the way she sings it. The way each singer sings a song makes it unique.
I AGREE.
who sings the original?
Robert Palmer
Why?
I just bought 'Ceremonials' today. So continues the era of my fandom! :) God, I love this band!
"JackFrags"
Does anyone remember?
+ThomaZ BernZ no why?
Yeah man, the way it synced up to the song was awesome
SpreadpaniK can anyone tell me what you guys are talking about? :D
a gaming youtuber made a music video called "addicted to battlefield" wich uses this song over gameplay of the game battlefield 3
Dilan k ooh ok cool thanks :D
robert palmer jest dumny z tego wykonania... swiatlo jest wlaczone lecz
ciebie nie ma w domu. piekny kawalek!
Hi Fifty
Addicted to Florence♥ #kisses from Poland !
Robert Palmer brought me here
god this song. I love it so much.
im gonna be really cool and score internet points by complaining and saying the original was better
The original is 10x better. She ruined the entire vibe of the song.
Jledstones wow you're just way 2kool4me
immasandwhichman I like her version better until the tempo picks up. Her singing doesn't go with the beat which makes it weird.
Charlotte Hill
No. I agree with you.
I wish those points were good for something
loving it
How many people came here because of the Revlon commercial?
Lol Meeee
Me !!!! Lmao
Hello! But I didn't know it was Florence and the Machines
lmao meee
So me :)
Love the original and this is without a doubt the best cover version. I just wish they released it on UK iTunes
She isn't exactly Robert Palmer, but it's a helluva nice cover.
no matter why do some persons come to see this video. the most important is to appreciate good music!!!!
Not bad, but the original still has an edge on this one for me.
It has a huge edge. Like many remakes of 80s songs, this one goes for a tried and tired ironic edge.
Jack frags had one hell of a good taste for music it’s been 10 years and i Still get flashbacks from his vids
no thanks Robert palmer win s easy
its wild how many ppl there comes too a song because of a youtuber, its beautiful!
can she just sing a song for once? I'm so sick of the exhaling style of her vocals with limited range. It sounds lazy.
Looked it up out of curiosity after Revlon commercial, thought it would be good based on a whole 2 measures in the commercial. I am sorely disappointed. The breathiness isn't so bad for me, I kind of like that, but this chick is all over the place as far as key. Flat half the time, sharp the other half - was she ever on key?

omg phenomenal job!!
Always loved this version.
you like to say that you're immune to this stuff, oh yeah.♥
I love Florence so much! :)
without her music, my life would be so much duller!
Alucinante ¡¡¡¡¡¡ cover ..recomiendo ....disfrutarlo
escucho este tema y me muero de amor te amo cristian grey!!!
love her voice ... captivating !
Wow‼️That great version and tell me lie’s brought me here 😎
Beautiful memory...
