Imagine she's all about that bass and you're going to hear her roar.

I like her All About That Bass cover, but I miss the sass of the original.

Roar is fantastic. The kitties!

Sass be damned!

That's some mighty fine musicianship on display there and she comes across as a goddamned human being.

I would like to see her play her own music, if in fact she does that.

I like the first bits of her version of "All About That Bass" well enough. She looks just a little uncomfortable, but game enough. And then about 70% of the way in she gets to that bass solo and it's just... Daaaaaaayum.

I love Kate Davis' voice, and the thing I love most is somehow her voice sounds like it's from the past. I can almost hear the record hiss!

On the album they have a cover of Creep that is delightful. I screamed with delight when the sax came in. I also love the Waterfalls cover, but the Womanizer cover is just okay.

Phlegmco(tm), here's Kate on piano doing her own song Movie. It's pretty great. And more on Soundcloud/her website. Looking forward to that EP.

Boy, I thought there was PLENTY of sass in her version.

Hint: Don't listen to this on laptop speakers. Plug in something that knows about that bass.

Laptop speakers are definitely not all about that bass.

My only complaint on All About That Bass is that she says "trouble" too clearly. I like the "treble" pun the original gives it.

Delightful! I love her expressions on All About That Bass.
