Even moves like Mick Jagger – love it
I think this is the best cover this year!!
Caralho hein 🎉
Nicely done ❤
so smooth lol so good
Wow he’s really great. Need to go deep into his discography asap 🥰
I love the original, and I really wanted to like this cover. I LOVED IT! The change up was so damn good. Mix that with that swagger. DAMN there was a lot to love about this <3
Not only does this kick ass and go hard as hell, the visual performance oozes pure swagger.
they just outplayed the rolling stones. what an artist to watch💖
Touch Sensitive over there laying it down on the bass as usual. Love to see it
Kinda reminds me of Ciara’s cover
Horrid
Bass player living his best life…
Hate the stones. Love this song. Effing killed it ❤
What a great performance from everyone in the room! Genesis was fantastic (talk about charisma!), backing vocals were smooth, all the instrumentalists were on it. Shouts to the audio engineer(s) too – I see that room full of Sennheiser mics 👀
the bassist looks like "hell yeah, covering the stones in an actual perfomance, this is what i yearned for all my life" lol
oh hell yeah! i've been dying for a new groovy moody cover of this since Ciara
"I don't need to see you girl I know you by your taste"
FUCKING FIRE.
0:14 My dude is straight up a JoJo character 🤩
You won Genesis – this song belongs to you now and it will take a lot for another "Like A Cover" to surpass this
Genesis Owusu is TUFF
who?
Album of the year AND cover of the year?! Anyone know the model of shoe he's wearing??
Meh… cliche, lacking nuance and dynamics.
ive been a fan of genesis owusu for years and im so happy hes finally getting his flowers. saw him live in the czech republic and said to my partner "watch this. this guy is gonna be huge soon"
Well, everyone turned up to work on this day didn’t they? 👏🏼👌🏼
This is sick
I LOVE IT WHEN HE COVERS ROCK MUSIC, his voice and musical style (which already is a really cool fusion of hip hop and post punk) is so perfect for rock covers
Ouch, that is hard on the ears. Dude cannot sing.
this is really really awful
"until my darkness goes… oh baby" – pile of shite version
life is good
oh my goodness
Strange seeing Harts in the back, he was great live
my word my ears have been blessed
At first I thought the name was Genius Owusu and not Genesis, but after hearing the take on this song I think they should be named Genius because this was a true genius take on this classic. 10/10, so fun, come again, yes please.
TURN UP THE MIC TRIPLE JJJ FFS
OMG 🤯
Goosebumps!!
That was awful.
Darren Hart quietly rocking out in the background… I recognise that guitar anywhere
GIVE THE MAN HIS FLOWERS!! I wish the Aussie media gave him more attention. He is such an incredible artist!! Keep doing your thing homie ❤️
I love this guys pure charisma it’s just infectious
🥹
Oooh, got a new favourite. Excellent version.
now THIS is what happens when you funk a stranger in the act
Whewww this is so good 🤩
Huge shout out to the amazing Kye and Soli on the bv’s, Darren Hart on guitar and Touch Sensitive on bass! Triple J you really need to acknowledge all the amazing local artists who contribute to these live performance of solo artists doing like a version.
