sorry auto download😍🤘
Awesome! Guitar tunning please? ;)
Just waitin' to add it to my workout playlist !
I was just about to ask! YES! 🤩🙌
Killed it!🔥
Anyone: How brutal do you want your breakdown? Lauren and Lee: YES
I love this kind of comments lol
Facts that shit hit perfectly
Lee: *tunes down the lowest string on his guitar* Lauren: *BLEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGHHH*
Just saw this comment when the screamo part came on. 👀👍
I'll admit I DID NOT expect that brutal of a breakdown. That was worth the sub alone, not even accounting for how good the cover was.
Singing face: eye brows up Screaming face: eye brows down
hahaha !
Singing: tip toes Screaming: crab squat
Underrated comment deployed
🤣🤣🤣👍
True haha
Her range is INSANE. She can go from an angle to flat out demon, I'm obsessed!
Yes a 90 degree angle
Perpendicular
Lowkey how im trynna be
Stop being obtuse
@@jamesb120 How acute of you
WHEN SHE WENT DOWN AAAA HOW DOES SHE DO THAT HER VOICE COMPLETELY CHANGED
she simply channeled the demon is all.
Throat exercises
She released her inner male metal version.
@@fridz66 you did not said that, I cannot believe it
It's just switching from the vocal folds to the false folds. She's REALLY good at it. The false folds are above your vocal chords to save you from choking to death but you can also train them to make sick demon sounds.
Friend: What's your taste in music? Me: it's complicated
Nothing complicated about it. Shes amazing.
@@cryingchild6996 People ask me this and I say "Metal", then they ask what kind of band, and people like me have to explain that we don't follow the most popular or normal genres of metal, but that rather my taste of music is popular songs remade into metal (because lets agree it becomes infinitely better)
@@henriquemorales212 SAMEEEEE
So relatable
@@henriquemorales212 Jonathan young. Disney goes metal. amazing.
One of the most underrated female vocalists in the world.
The most*
I've only discovered her today but my god, incredible!
It is great to see that in this 2020 she is becoming more known, she already deserved it.
NO Its not. Its lots of it
Yes
Yep, Im just going to accept the fact that this is now the official version
Lol same 😂👍💖
I second that!
The motion passes. New motion to the Senate, to draft a bill officially making this the new National Anthem of the USA? All in favor?
Dude. Her voice just gave me legitimate goosebumps. Wow.
yes, it is legitimate and since birth
I didn't see this was a metal cover, I almost dropped my pizza lol
Aldrastar ssssssss
im crying :')
I’m laughing omg 😂😂
I could've dropped my crossaint
I love this so much. I understand that views are the main goal but she doesn't doll herself up with makeup and hair color. She's feeling this music, giving her everything to this music. She's a true musician.
It feels like I'm in a strip club all dressed up in something sexy hiding a gun looking for my target
Petey Zee BAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA WHY IS THIS MAKING ME LAUGH SO MUCH😂😂
Petey Zee The manager is her target
As a manager myself I fucking cant stand karens
this account looks like a joke but also looks like it is a real account owned by a Karen.
@@sgtkururu karenception
*Starts growling in demonic singing* Me: *Suprised pikachu face* (I fr love heavy metal and this cover)
Same. :0
Zodiac Grace here's that pikachu face..... :
:0
Your pfp + name combination really adds to this
I almost jump off the bed at that part kkkkkkkk
Her transitions from clear voice to growling are insane
this is my favorite music genre: pop + metal
Then you'll like Amaranthe
And Poppy’s new record
Is this a genre??
@@gtaylor3350 poppy slaaaaaaps
@@jonathanrynjah thank you, i'll check it out
2:54 - 2:57 Yo wtf her voice transition was smooth I'm in love
Lauren is a bad ass, not many can growl and do melody. If you like the style check out Semblant as well (though Ms Lin only does melody, Sergio does growling).
In her Offspring cover with Jonathan Young, she drops into growl for a single *word* in a line, and I don't know much about vocal techniques but even I was stunned.
My ears are blessed every time i listen to her!! I was listening to this and my jaw dropped every 5 seconds 😲🤯 she is so talented!!
I WAS JUST GONNA COMMENT THIS TOO AAAaaaaa
Same!
My dermatologist said these goosebumps are permanent now.
your calm singing against the background of heavy music makes me feel like you are standing motionless in the middle of a storm and smiling
This is such a great comparison. This is exactly what a mental breakdown feels like.
WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION
Seriously though, Crazy Eighty Eight has been my favourite album all year, I just keep going back to it. thank you for Burning Alive and please continue with the band.
Go home Jarrod.
I like pop goes punk.... wait
What was the band that did the too late to apologize “metal” version? That started it
you don't need permission to cover songs once they're published. duh-doi ;) -- awesome cover btw Lauren!
I'm going to tell my kids this is britney spears.
gamer boi parenting at its finest.
They’re going to think Britney Spears was a metal singer but later figure out she is a pop singer
Alright, don't disrespect Lauren like that.
Don't do Lauren dirty like that, just tell your kids this is the original. Easy peezy.
Haha haha .. ....savage
I heard this song in my dream the other day. That's how good it is
Does anyone else find the way she says "You're Toxic" so friggin' satisfying?? No?? Just me?? Ok.
1:30 good 2:19 great 2:27 oh my 2:56 OH MY! To summarize Lauren's range is is wider than yo mama
Tendies can you imagine the first girl who made tunnel throat and gutterals
Lmao! Couldn't have said it better! The deeper you go, the more amazeballs it gets.
I knew there would be time stamps lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 😆😄😆😄😆😄😆😄
@Tendies you forgot the 2:40 "Eeeeeeerrrrgh!" Never heard anyone doing it so sexy and powerful lol 😂
A cover with Jonathan Young, Lee Albreight, Lauren Babic, and Luke Holland would be the sickest thing ever
Travis agreeeeeee
Please have mercy my dick can only become so erect
AttackOnHetalianGhouLYaoiFanfoms 😐
YAS JONATHAN AND TRAVIS CARTE
@@laurenbabic Doing a cover of "Vigilante" from Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative is a good place to start...
One of the most *toxic* breakdowns I've ever heard 🔥
the way she flawlessly transfers from beautiful singing to screaming is so well done.
I can't believe I missed this, it's great!!!
:)
*_slowly adds this to personal playlist_*
Whats the hold up?
Slowly? I've got this on repeat
Drill Sargent: GET YOUR BITCHASS MOVING, MAGGOT.
Same here.
DrModsQ what I just did to my “se7en “ playlist
She can sing every range!
I never knew it until just now, but I have wanted a death core breakdown in the middle of Toxic by Britney Spears my whole life
The growls were so great that the demons in my head called an exorcist 😂🤣
What but the demons with me came
@@anasmakky4429 wait hol up
@@Red1Regiment I tired but they didn't listen
Jesus left the chat
Best comment
My headphones can’t get loud enough for this song
Same tho
MT Studios I know right like fuck pound my ears with this beautiful shit !!! It needs to be more banging in the ear phones
IKR?
Same i want it loud enough that the whole city can here this.
me and my self-inflicted tinnitus FELT this
Best version of this song I've heard to date!
Thank you!
Still a valid argument in 2024.
OK. New vote for most brutal breakdown ever.
Never thought I'd headbang to a Brittany spears song
Yes so true 😂😂😂
Same.
saammmeeeeeeeeee
Why isn't this on Spotify? That breakdown is so filthy
nickwick35 I wonder that sometimes too but you know what they say, good things come to those who wait.
He changed the guitar tuning right before the breakdown. Possibly drop D
It's gonna be on Spotify soon
i didn't realize this cover was that new, but it's on there now.
@Ruben Colon it's on there right now
Her voice beats everything, i´m in love .... clean , clear, sets every tone perfect, great voice , the growl is awesome , cant be better..
The gods of Metal must be pleased with this rendition 🤘
Lauren Babic is defo the best artist I discovered in 2019
@AEM Musiclover She deserves every single bit of support
@@beyqn3747 For sure
I just discovered her, too. Awesome voice.
@@Maffu79 her King For A Day cover is a m a z i n g
@@beyqn3747 Cool shit. Thanks for the tip.
Your Highs: Beautiful Your mids: Gritty and pack a punch Your Screams: flawless Love your voice!!!
Her highs were a bit flat.
@Hara Isbara Yes. Just because she's cute doesn't mean she has an amazing voice.
@@chrisflynn9695 no-one is this specific comment or replies said that she was cute, and definitely didn't say her voice was good because of that reason
Never thought Britney Spears could sound this good!!
Old pop music and metal fit together so well and I love it. Lauren has really nice vocals.
Where is the metal?
You and Leo from Frog Leap Studios should team up for a song.
Sorry but leo sucks all his covers sound the same.
Kyle your right but I wouldn’t say they suck
@@swsogaming8730 Leo's covers are just "fine." They're technically competent and not by any means bad, but so pedestrian that it bores me to tears. There's no adventure, no pushing of boundaries. They're about as safe and generic as metal gets, which kinda defeats the purpose of doing a metal cover in the first place.
Would love to see that
@@Caligari87 Leo is anything but generic. This cover, though, is about as bland and generic as covers get.
some people overabuse the word "metal" when covers are made... after almost dropping my phone in sheer delight and checking her bio I got excited to learn she IS the vocalist for Red Handed Denial. Nice!
Yeah like this video. There is no metal any where in the song.
@@evacody1249 Did you quit before 1:30? Because uuuh....
She also sings for Crazy Eighty Eighty, great band
@@evacody1249 I'm almost positive that the mic and mic stand are made from metal in this video
overabuse isn't a word
I love how much of Lauren's range this shows. Such talent much impress.
Yeaaah! 🤘🏽❤️
Her rasp is what makes her singing that much more epic. Great cover.
Lauren needs to get a job with the post office... cus she ALWAYS delivers!!!
Haha good shit
Well that disqualifies her for a job in Germany
I don't always see but when I do, it's what you did there
OH YOU
Just like that punchline-
My jaw DROPPED WHEN SHE DID THE SCREAMO PART OMG THAT WAS AMAZING
I was doubtful when I was gonna click but then... She started to sing and I- 🤘🎸
no regrets
That breakdown is so sick I'm thinking it's the real cause for the quarantine.
Hahaha
This is the kind of music Britney should've started making after she shaved her head ✊😁
+Pineapple She came pretty close with 'Piece of Me'.
@@obasaz4904 Completely forgot that one! 😁 But wasn't it just a little more electronic and sexy than her older music was? I don't remember her being more "rough"/"hardcore"/"whatever you would call this"-sounding in any way 😅
@@1Pineapple The problem is, britney doesn't have the voice to pull off metal either. That, to me, would be like taylor swift trying to go metal lmao
💀
A way better alternative universe.
TOXXXICCCCCC!!!! Effing chills...wow.
Lauren's screaming gives me chills every time
I swear she can sing ANYTHING and make it better. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The amount which Lauren’s range has grown since I started listening to Red Handed Denial is phenomenal
Britney Spears would be so proud of this metal cover, great job on this one Lauren Babic!
She should totally check it out :D
@@xLucTV agreed! 👍
Just amazing!!!
That was such a brutal breakdown... Like I just wanted to mosh in my room when I heard this. This is probably one of the best pop goes metal cover songs I have ever heard... Honestly well done you guys!
🤦 this is not metal. Having a guitar sound have does not make it metal. Having a breakdown does not make it metal.
@@evacody1249 Then what is it smart ass?
@@2ndkind295 hardcore. Maybe listen to metal bands.
@@evacody1249 Elitist over here. Listen bro, you THINK you know what you mean. But you are just egotistic, stubborn and probably over 35. Hardcore was a lot closer to punk than anything and that's where it came from, eventually hardcore and metal came together and created metalcore, it was a fusion of the genres. It is BOTH hardcore and metal, hardcore alone is not metal, it does not even have metal vocals in it, it focuses on punk. And this my friend, is not punk. Hardcore itself has become a very uncommon genre. Get your mind out of your boomer head and fuck off with this metalcore, deathcore is not metal, because it fucking is. Elitist are the dumbest shits in music and should not force art to be what they want.
Also if the fucking music like the guitar sound and the structure like breakdowns does not contribute to the definition of the genre then what does? Obviously the guitar and structure of the song contributes to the genre, that is how we define music. Pop punk has a guitar sound it uses, metal has one, punk has one, rock has one. Don't come here with your ignorant opinion and think you know what you are talking about.
"Don't I know that my dog's sick"? I'll check. Yep. It's toxic.
"don't you know that you can't feed it chocolate"
@@brettsilcock1920 Lol
Always love Lauren's vocals, perfect for rock! 🎶🔥
The way she says addicted got me feeling some type of way
0:00 - 2:25: Yeah okay pretty good kinda metal 2:26: WELL, DAMN
normally im not one for death metal vocals but there's something amazing about how you can go from that to angelic on a dime
I think I'm literally falling I'm love Lauren oh my god
S0 SICK!!! Killer ending!!!!!
I'm sorry but this version is just way better than britney's, Metal makes everything better haha. You rock Lauren keep it up.
Yea everytime there's a song i like, i search for a metal version. xD
Her voice went from this🧚♀️🧚♀️, to this👩🎤👩🎤 omgggg I love itt
Wow!!!
Rock + Lauren + toxic = the best thing ever
Let's just take a moment to admire the freaking awesome effects in this video - the red lighting, the backdrop, the energy - you two could not have nailed this better than you did here.
I'm gonna be singing this at work all day now.
This is how this song was meant to sound... absolutely incredible! Thank you for transforming this sing into what it needed to be!
Killed that!!
Lee shredding goes really well with Lauren’s vocals
hot damn, that was one of the most brutal breakdown I've ever heard...
OK... Wtf...
so much PUSH POWER ON THAT VOICE !
group of amazing and talented people SO AWESOOOOOME!
first minute in .. " well this is missing some growls" ... NEVERMIND! This is GREAT!
How to make a Britney Spears song sound good: 1. Replace Britney with Lauren Babic. 2. Bllleegggghhhh
I really hope your not bashing Britney Spears rn man
are u trying to say that britney's songs aren't already top-tier 🤡🤡
Bllleegggghhhh 😂😂😂😂 i just choked on my tea reading that
Excuse me but you have no right to diss her majesty Britney 😂 But yes, Lauren did something special with this song :D
Britney is already the greatest in the world , her songs and performances are stunning forever as originals , she is such an icon power woman that everyones good can have fun to dupe her in many ways . That's it
Lauren is goated
This gave me chills and got emotional. Way too good
Britney: "stop making my music better!"
Max Lehmann Leave Brittney ALLLOOOONNEEEE!!!
Y
I thought Alice Cooper's "Poison" already was the metal version of this song?
@@johnwicksfoknpencil you beat me to it
🤣🤣🤣
I can’t get over how pretty she is and how good her voice is
Glorious.
The versatility of Laurens's voice is absolutely mind-blowing.
You and Lee make a great team!
perfect cover. seriously right on the spot according to original song
Love Lauren. Thanks.
love you Lauren Babic
Lauren's Screaming is so "Boss Level has just been defeated" Vibes!
Dude that breakdown got me so pumped for today!
when a cover is better than the original... look to Lauren Babic..everytime... amazing.
Combination of pure, almost sweet vocals and a deep growl (where you can still actually understand the lyrics) is intoxicating. So glad I stumbled on to her!
1:31 And the voice finally destroys the song!! Great cover 🤘🤘🤘
I have this on noise canceling headphones and on full blast ❤❤❤❤
Im in looooove
I subscribed before the song was over. Sick vocal range, masterful voice. Best version of that song ever made.
This cover is Tox SICK! Love it.
I am in love with her voice ❤
Ah, a classic earth ballad. Damn nice!
