RITA ORA COVERS ‘RUNNING UP THAT HILL’ – KATE BUSH FANS REACT
Written by Ballzer on September 16, 2022
Am I the only one who likes Rita’s version better?
I understand that “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush is a huge song right now. The song was originally released in the 80s and had nowhere near the success that it has now, courtesy of Stranger Things on Netflix. I love Stranger Things but if I’m being honest, “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush is not my favorite song. However, when Rita Ora recently covered it at her show, I thought it was pretty good! There were some parts that were better than others, but one thing is for sure…she looks FABULOUS! What do you think of Rita’s cover?
Now, for the OG.
Most Kate Bush fans did not approve!
Oh my good god, I couldn’t listen to all of that?

Why do they think the can just do that ?
That’s dreadful. Just because lots of notes exist, it doesn’t mean you need to try and include them all in every song. You certainly don’t need to try it if you’re as bad as this.

Kate Bush will be turning in her grave and she’s not even dead

She’s performing like she’s read the lyrics but never heard the song

I presume the cheering was because she had stopped
