Duffy covers Hot Chip

I have yet to truly discover Duffy, but I have witnessed the power of this awesome Hot Chip cover.

She was recently in the Radio 1 Live Lounge performing "Ready for the Floor", which oddly sounds really cool live. It is amazing, very stunning. This was my first time actually hearing her sing. There was a lot of editing in the lyrics of course, so much that I wouldn't even call this a cover actually. Words like "re-imagined" or "re-worked" are more appropriate. Anyway, Duffy's voice is cute yet powerful. Her vibrato is "off the chain". It nears being out of control, but she handles it well. The back-up vocals are pretty good. I actually wanted to hear more of him/them. Here's a sort of mash-up vid someone posted on youtube using clips from Hot Chip's video for "Ready for the Floor" and Duffy's video for "Rockferry".
