Robyn "Hyperballad"

Robyn covers Bjork's "Hyperballad".

Totally brilliant. Simply breathtaking. Get ready to be moved when you hear Robyn perform Bjork's "Hyperballad" in a Swedish telecast that aired live in Sweden tonight. Icelandic singer Bjork was honored with the 2010 Polar Music Prize from Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf in Stockholm. It is one of Sweden's most prestigious music awards that was established by the manager of Sweden's legendary pop group ABBA, Stig Anderson, in 1989.

LOL Bjork is as cold as ice watching Robyn perform! I'm desperately curious what Bjork was thinking.

Epic fail! Robyn should just go back to Sweden and do her inane-wannabe-cutting-edge-pop songs.

quite simply, the song is murdered. the notes not met and from all that trying too hard out comes the most squirm-ish tone. i have only one word for this, yuck.

Maybe its not fair comparing her live singing to the original studio recorded song, but the performance still comes across as weak. I really liked the original.
