But I actually like the way Haley sings the beginning better than the end on this one. Just my preference for this song.
Doing some catching up here.
mercfan, while I wouldn't describe what Scott's doing as "simple," although it certainly begins that way, he did create -- or he & Haley created -- the "close to perfect" arrangement. I'm also not certain that I love the parts where the drum comes in and puts a definite rock spin on it. But the arrangement had to go somewhere, so while I respect your position, I'm not sure that I understand it.

At the after-party at Sheffield's Restaurant backroom Harry Reinhart commented that he loved all the new melody changes Haley introduced into Creep. I didn't notice as obviously as his trained ear but it was good to hear and on second listen I realized she really made it even better than the 6 million view version.
Himm or Steve or -- however, I'm supposed to refer to you. After (finally) having/taking the opportunity to listen to this rendition, my question would be what is Harry's reference point: the original Radiohead version, Haley's PMJ video, or ????
I'm not familiar with the Radiohead version, so can't speak to that. But Haley has always displayed an ability to make each performance a little different from the last (something her father should certainly be aware of -- and probably does himself), and each one of these
Creep performances has nuances that make them distinct from both the video and prior performances. (Something that both Haley and Casey do.)
While Haley's PMJ videos are always good, her live performances are always better. I can hear that from the vids Haliens provide -- and thank you Haliens for going that extra mile!
