1. I call bs with these 3 examples. Different key/tempo than the new version and they sound much more strained. New version has much better phrasing, doesn't need falsetto in the high parts (as in your examples) and is only a semitone down.

    Definitely a new (and imo better) vocal.

    Edit: thought this topic was about the SoS version, not sure what you guys are nagging about
