10 Girls Aloud - I'll Stand By You

 

:heart: :heart: playing Sarah's Version too! :heart:

Combined with the original?

Combined with the original?

Hard to know for now but I'd assume so.

Was this re-released then? Or physicals drop in tribute

It sounds so AI??

 

I hope they haven't used AI and "just" used vocoder or autotune or whatever... :\

Sarah's Version was released on Friday as this year's Children In Need single, featuring Sarah solely on lead vocals using archive recordings.

It's not AI, it's using recordings from the vault. Doesn't sound particularly autotuned or anything either? Perhaps a little rougher because these vocals weren't chosen for the final cut by Xenomania back in the day but it sounds just like Sarah to me.

No physicals so imagine it will end up 35+ region as I can’t imagine it’s picking up a lot on streaming.

So i think thick of it fell out of the top 20 right now, i don't think it'd improve on last week with so much above it

Would be nice if GA could hold on for an appearance on Friday :heart:

If Sarah's Version is combined with the original then it'll marginally help with the streaming situation at least, as the original will undoubtedly get some trickle streams regardless (but obviously not a particularly significant number).

Well done BBC advertising a competitor's TV series!

There's definitely some vocoder effect or robotic flourishes on the vocals, no? It sounds so weird to me. (Glad it's seemingly not AI though...)

Well KSI immediately made me look foolish lol

Wait what?? Guessing Tate Mcrae isn't top 20 then

'The Emptiness Machine' still to come I would think

It might just be Mariah and Wham plus the top 5 from last week

 

Forgot Chappell was hot to go to ACR. So either Tate or Linkin Park but not both

Not to my ears, Sarah sings it a little differently to the main Girls Aloud version we know but that's the only thing that jumped out as strange to me, simply because it's different (having heard it on tour a few times and the studio version a lot this weekend)
