JP Cooper covers Lauryn Hill's Ex-Factor in the 1Xtra Live Lounge

Never heard this song in my life until a very special person i met on Snapchat shared it with me....Wow what an amazing talent and his voice has so much soul...heard every rift every vibrato...feels....Just WOW!

I hate anyone covering Lauryn hill but this can never get old, just phenomenal.still listened to daily 7 years later as well as the original of course xox

oh wauw

@lynnbarlow9962❤❤❤

This man is one of the most talented singers on the planet. Wish I could marry him and be serenaded by that gorgeous voice every night! ❤

🏜️

I like this

Вау безумно красивое исполнение, у меня аж мурашки пошли! Я слышал много разных кавер версий, и это безусловно лучшая!!!

One of the only dudes ready to take on Lauryn’s vocal runs lol

looks like james franco

Def better than original . Guitar is much more suited for this song

Better than the original his voice is next level ❤️❤️

Amazing cover

White guy with dreads can cover lauren better than beyonce.
Jd Cooper you have my attention and respect.

Captain jack sparrow goes in hard ❤

Absolutely stunning singer , love the cover pal

This man better put on some Adidas cos those runs were just wild

Wow. I'm never getting tired of this

he gave it a bit of a slow snap ❤

This cover is perfect!! The instruments and his voice blend so well

Sooooo beautiful!♥️

NEVER HEARD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THIS SONG!!!!

No one will ever be able to touch the original for me, but it wasn't bad. The first time I ever heard her sing I was moved to tears. I later had the fortune to see her live in concert many years ago. No one has ever come close to that performance and no one ever will.

Never touch another one...ever!

Reminds me of Josh Logan. Pure talent

still listening in 2023 hard not to relate 💔what a good cover 🙌🔥

Magnifique !

Amazing

Still here 2023. JP your a legend

You've succeeded in reconciling me with one of Lauryn Hill's famous song. Even while I sadly still can't stand her anymore for her religious positions. Thanks JC

I will never ever forget this cover. never.

Ta voix touche mon âme ❤️

Damn this song will always get in my feelings, lauryn really blessed us with her lyrics, her voice, her music, and this cover is the best I have found of this song, he did an amazing job, I could feel every emotion in it

This was good. Like, ridiculously crazy insanely good!

Sing that shit boy

There’s a certain way you have to sing this song and you my friend, KILLED IT

oh my Gosh... I know you don't have no ass because YOU JUST SANG YOUR ASS OFF!!!

The Dopest Cover I’ve Ever Heard. . .

This cover hits me deep down inside. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

A timeless song covered by an incredible artist!

Better than the original took me along time to except it 😂

I actually paused and gain profound appreciation for the song and him as an artiste. I think about my past and all I been through. Wow

Jesus Christ

Still the best cover of all covers !!

Bitch, write your own music!!!!
TRIED of you people making money 💵 off our people!!!!

Obsessed

It could all be so simple (ba-ba-ba-baby, baby, baby)
But you'd rather make it hard (huh, uh)
Loving you is like a battle (it's like a battle)
And we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be (who I have to be)
To get some reciprocity
See, no one loves you more than me (more than me)
And no one ever will (no one ever will, yeah)
Is this just a silly game (silly game)
That forces you to act this way? (to act this way)
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay (yeah)
Tell me, who I have to be (I know what we gotta do)
To get some reciprocity
See, no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working (it ain't working, no), it ain't working
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy (oh, this is crazy, uh-huh)
I keep letting you back in (you back in)
How can I explain myself? (I don't understand why)
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do (yeah)
You let go (you let go), and I'll let go too (and I'll let go)
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working (it ain't working), it ain't working (it ain't working)
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy), this is crazy (this is crazy)
Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
(There) There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
(Cry) Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
(Give) Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
(Care) Care for me, care for me
You said you'd care for me
(There) There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
(Cry) Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
(Give) Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Take it down now
(Cry) Take it down now
(Give) Take it down now
(Care) Take it down now
(There) Take it down now
(Cry) Take it down, take it down for now

I listened to this about a 100 few times looking for words to explain how this cover made me feel and after ther the thousandth time , still nothing . It made me cry his voice is so beautiful😣 it touched places in my soul that only good music can . I really love this ❤😢*I'm not crying anymore by the way * 😊

What is happening right now? Absolutely disgusting beautiful. Listened to it 30 times. Bravo 👏🏾
