April 23, 20187 yr Author Variety mentions the singers who were meant to be and/or tried to be in the song. From Variety: The hit single "The Middle," by Zedd and featuring Maren Morris, is currently on its third week at No. 1 on pop radio – a giant feat for any song but especially so for one that was written well over a year prior and had been recorded by no fewer than 12 top female singers. Among those to take a crack at the vocal: Demi Lovato, Camila Cabello, Anne-Marie, Carly Rae Jepsen, Tove Lo, Bishop Briggs, Bebe Rexha, Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony, Daya and Elle King.
April 23, 20187 yr I could definitely hear Demi or Carly Rae on vocals but certainly none of the others.
April 23, 20187 yr I remember a lot of fans thinking it was Demi when he posted the preview on Twitter. Only a couple guessed Maren correctly. Surprised he didn’t consider Rita Ora, she would have sounded amazing on this track.
April 26, 20187 yr occ-41QGYNE I'm assuming this is the Spotify playlist vid? Are 'vertical videos' the new *in* thing to do now?
April 28, 20187 yr ZaAv5AiBRgY Zedd is featured on the latest Billboard cover and it's mentioned that he has collaborations with Sigrid ("Are You Happy Now"), Sarah Aarons ("The Middle") and Khalid and K.Flay in a untitled song. Also, he collaborated with Jared Leto in a Thirty Seconds to Mars track.So yeah (also Dangerous Night on that quote yaaaas *.*). She sounds amazing in the demo actually! I think the other three demos were 1. Anne-Marie 2. Bebe Rexha 3. Bishop Briggs EDIT: no wait there were six demos Guesses: 1. Anne-Marie 2. Lauren Jauregui 3. Daya 4. Tove Lo 5. kinda sounds like Charli XCX 6. Bishop Briggs
July 30, 20204 yr Camilas Demo of this is out there and it’s kinda similar to the official version tbh not vastly different rather similar in the vocal delivery K75DBnWaPDk
July 30, 20204 yr Maren version > Yeah I agree though I feel like that’s because it’s what we’re accustomed to. Had Camila not sang it in exactly the same way I may have thought differently
July 30, 20204 yr I remember this song existing, but wouldn't have remembered that any of those three artists were on it.
July 30, 20204 yr Did Camila record this before Maren did? I remember reading that 12 people recorded the song and always just assumed that Maren was the final person to record it was that the case?
