She is unusual, she is the voice of the year, she is
much more than what we can see, she is simply amazing!!!
I have been looking forward to seeing the official video of "Someone like you" for months. I loved the live version at the Brits Awards, the only version we had to be delighted by her voice. We could feel how the emotion and the tears at the end of the song break her voice. Her shyness, voice and lyrics make us unconditional fans.
She has many records but the most important to me is
YOUTUBE. Her live version of "Someone like you" hit 69 898 666 views
in 9-months. Only beaten by herself with the song
"Rolling in the deep" with 172 182 346 views in 11 months.
The most impressive is that every 3 minutes someone
posts a song on Youtube of their own performance of "Someone like
you". It is the most covered singer online.
She is unconventional, not sexy, not fake, honest in
all her interviews and very mature for her age.
Her most impressive achievements at a glance:
- She has been the first living artist to have two top five hits in the
UK official Singles and Official Album simultaneously since The Beatles in
1964.
- Her album 21 has spent eleven consecutive weeks on first
step in the UK; the longest ever by a female solo artist surpassing Madonna.
- First album in the UK to sell 3 million copies in one calendar
year. That will make her appear in the 2012 Guinness Book of World Records.
- The first artist to sell more than a million copies of an album on
European iTunes.
This new version of "Someone like you" has
already reached 45-016-771 views in just one month. And every hour it increases
by thousands and every two days by 2 millions views.
I was very surprised when I watched it (and I can say
I was part of the first thousand who watched it) because I didn't expect it to
be shot in Paris, her walking from Concorde to the Invalides through my
favourite bridge Alexandre III.
As I everybody I have imagined this video before but I have never thought that it would have been in Paris. However, it is true that it actually goes very well. Where better
than Paris to shoot the most romantic and touching song of the year?
My only "disappointments" are:
1- The coat that she is wearing. I think the stylist
could have done better. She could look more feminine and this belt is
too high to make her slender. Note: International Vogue offices are just after
the bridge... she was walking the right way but obviously never arrived.
2- The choice of the boyfriend. Even if we cannot see
him clearly, all the song is about him. We want to know more about him and kick
him... I was expecting a tall and hot guy, with different hair style, more
bohemian,more like her, a true Parisian and not this one.
I still love her, her music, her new style, her
personality.... there is no one like her.
Can’t wait for her official video of "Set fire to
the rain"...
