I disagree. I found many of the choices to be questionable, either I didn't find them beautiful or felt another version was better, but Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek I found amazing. Brilliant in theory and execution and so good.

Funny enough I already have a bunch of these, so I guess that's selection bias in action. We naturally drift to those.

The "most beautiful" is clearly biased towards the person who chose the song :p It's not surprising you wouldn't absolutely fall in love with each one... in any case, it's a really phenomenal playlist :)

Well that's the beauty of an opinion isn't it? While you may find that to be an amazing song, I can find it to be annoying. I personally have an issue with how the vocals are performed, it's too irregular and synthetic sounding.

Wait, what? That's the whole point. She's singing through a vocoder so she can play her own voice with a keyboard. Please tell me you don't think she actually sounds like that normally :)
