My daughter and I have been watching American Idol and I must say Jena Irene has given some stellar performances. Her cover of “Creep” by Radiohead blew me away. The girl is incredibly talented. I’m predicting she’ll win American Idol this season. If you missed her version, here it is.
“Creep”
When you were here before
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
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking specialBut I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong hereI don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
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
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking specialBut I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong hereI don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I’m not around
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
She’s running out the door
She’s running out
She runs runs runs runs..
Runs…
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep
I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here

I just listened to this yesterday, while making dinner. LUV!!!
This is the rare AI performance that I will download to iTunes.
That was stunning! I don’t watch the show, so thank you for posting. She can actually sing! So many if todays “singers” don’t really sing – can’t carry tune; no range … She’s the real deal.
Yes, she is. Very talented and a unique voice.
I love this song – and that was a great version of it. I don’t watch the show as we don’t have a TV but I hope she wins just for that!
I thought her version was phenomenal. Too bad she didn’t win, but Caleb is pretty talented, too.
do you know after I watched that video I listened to Creep on loop – but I got my best writing bout done to that music in a long time which is pretty awesome!
That’s great! I love it when that happens. 🙂
