  This is so awesome! I totally did not expect this to be as brilliant as it was!

• On 07.27.08 steve said this:

  the piano puts me strongly in mind of the live version of Fog that yorke does. Clearly this is a fan tribute, not just a cover.

• On 07.27.08 Michael said this:

  There’s something unholy about hearing those girls singing the word “fucking”. And i love it

• On 08.04.08 Wm said this:

  damn, I love Belgium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• On 08.04.08 Federico said this:

  You should listen to other songs of Scala. They did a tour called “Scala on the rocks” with all kind of these remade songs. Teenage Dirtbag, Bittersweet Symphony, Someone New, Under The Bridge and so much more! Again, proud to be a Belgian

• On 08.04.08 Kloogie said this:

  Painfully beautiful. The sweetness of the voices is unbearable.

• On 08.04.08 The_Belgian said this:

  Scala has a lot of other and even better songs like these covered.
  Too bad it took so long before you US guys discovered them because this song’s already more than 5 years old.

  lovely song “With or without you”

• On 08.05.08 Reservoir Dog said this:

  Scala is indeed magnificent. But instead of “60 belgian women” you’d better describe them as 60 Flemish girls (“roughly sixty teenage girls” (http://www.scalachoir.com/en/index.htm)).
  Their version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is also sending shivers down your spine:

  This would make excellent soundtrack music . . .

• On 10.21.08 dza said this:

  now that’s what you call an ethereal sound. thanks for this wonderful song.

• On 10.22.08 ell said this:

  WOW, just wow

• On 10.22.08 Kellan said this:

  haha I love how they say “fucking special”.. this is amazing…

• On 10.23.08 reggie said this:

  Got tears in my eyes – beautiful!

• On 10.24.08 nailbunny said this:

  Amazing, chills, and smiles at the same time, instantly I started looking for their other recordings…thank you

• On 10.26.08 insti said this:

  I didnt’t like it. Something’s not right with it, specially the “you’re so fucking special” part. I’m sorry, but it sounded weird.

• On 10.27.08 Antonio said this:

  Felicitations Scala! C’est merveilleux!! Well, i have to say i’m impressed. “creep” was a huge success, actually the turning point for radiohead, and this said, it inevitably falls into the overplayed commercial category, being later totally overshadowed by albums such as OK computer and Kid A. Scala not only manage to remind us of what a marvellous song this is, but they also add a note of somber disquieting fright, a sinister yet peaceful feeling that just makes you want to drift away at the sound of their voices.
  I wonder if this would work sung by 60 men. Sure not!

• On 10.29.08 Courtney Yonce said this:

  this is absolutely amazing, i love this.

• On 10.29.08 audrey said this:

  OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I’ve been singing in choirs all my life and this is fantastic!!! i love the dynamics and being a radio head fan i can vouch for the transposition as most excellent KUDOS!!

• On 10.30.08 halesonheels said this:

  I can appreciate the vocals and the effort put towards this rendition, but oddly enough it reminds me of when I was in an all girl choir back in high school. My husband liked the “fucking special” part, though.

• On 10.31.08 Otto von Hoffen said this:

  yoouu FOOOOOLS! it’s ONE person singing, I was there in the audience when they recorded it!

• On 10.31.08 Gary said this:

  re: Michael-”There’s something unholy about hearing those girls singing the word “fucking”. And i love it

  I was thinking the whole time how awkward that came out. I don’t know if the inflection is a language issue or if the potency diminishes at a group level….maybe a group fuck isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be!
  At any rate, a good performance. I liked the solo piano, and the harmonies were chilling.

• On 11.05.08 Bigpip said this:

  Listen to their version of Engel by Rammstein. Stunning.

• On 11.06.08 Monika said this:

  A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

  *speechless*

• On 11.07.08 Part brazilian, part waxed said this:

  Right, its alright, but i think thats because i liked the song in the first place. Theres not much special here. 60 girls doing pop song with choir vocals? I mean, seriously? You wouldnt have to look far to see that sort of thing. Im sure there was even a choir x factor thing. Doesnt suprise me that its not made it out of belgium. Or if it has, its limping (metaphorically).

• On 11.08.08 17 Seconds said this:

  You don’t like The Cure? Well, nobody’s perfect. Maybe you’re too young.

  My maths teacher once said: There’s only one thing worse than being bad at maths: being bad at maths and proud of it. The same applies to not liking The Cure, IMHO.

  they should do Toadies ‘Possum Kingdom’

• On 11.11.08 Richard Heinagan said this:

  It’s okay.

• On 11.11.08 Eponymouse said this:

  So, I supppose this album is the modern version of the Langley School’s Music Project. Pretty good, but somehow less pure. Imitation is flattery and all that, though.

• On 11.11.08 Eiimy said this:

  it`s beautiiful

• On 03.15.09 Mim said this:

  This is…different. However, Thom Yorke’s feeling and emotion is lost in sixty droaning women. Not a fan.

• On 03.21.09 Amanda said this:

  Very different, but I like it. The emphasis is a little different, gives it a different feeling. You don’t hear ‘coarse’ language in choir ensembles very often, at least I don’t. Nice.

• On 05.29.09 Maebius Musings » Creep, a beautiful rendition said this:

  [...] I drove home from work happy, and proceeded to do dishes, and clean up the house with a smile, after dinner, to the great pleasant surprise of my wife. This NEEDS to be listened to properly, with headphones or a quiet room. It’s got some powerful subtle going on. I also love the whispering “I wish I was special” near the end. http://takingtigermountain.com/archives/113 [...]

  wow 60 lesbians half singing a depressing radiohead song. this is probably the biggest load of shit i’ve heard in a long time. well done
