Sounds great. Something about the audio doesn't seem right with the setting and video, though. Maybe someone with more knowledge about audio/filming can say what if anything is amiss. Almost like she's using audio recorded at a different time?

well, it was.....
they make these videos because otherwise only a few people will watch a static screen.

Is it supposed to be a given that she wasn't actually singing there?

She did a great job, but I'd like to hear less reverb/delay/auto-tune(?). That sounds too processed for me.

It's funny how much new hype that song is getting now that it was in a viral video. People are strange.

It you watch a lot of these on youtube, yes, it is a given.

it takes nothing away from her version, but it is done to keep eyeballs on the video.

I would say I watch a lot of these, and have no idea what you're talking about.

Most covers I have seen are not just a lip sync, but maybe I have just blocked out that style.

Here's a proper cover:

Okay, well if we're doing this. If you've got 20 mins to strap in for...I saw this a few years ago and try as I might, I just can't find a cover that I enjoy more.

I think she's actually singing there, but what you're picking up on is a delay or reverb effect that makes the tone not match the setting. Her voice sounds like it's in a large room with better acoustics than sitting on a soft bed right next to a wall. You can hear her voice repeating on itself, which wouldn't happen sitting on a bed. That's added by the computer she's recording with.

I just wanna know why she's singing to her Hitachi.

Maybe it's just me but it looked and sounded like she was lip syncing to Stevie Nicks singing Dreams.
