That is amazing

What exactly is amazing? I honestly do not get it.

Its a music video which plays, it apparently searches for covers, sync them up so you can switch from the original video to infinity other cover version of it i would say.

This is brilliant, more info at places like this:

I was brought up on The NME and the rock press and love left-field bands and I've always felt Billie (and her brother) fit comfortably into that tradition despite (or partly because of) their terrific pop sheen.

Great talent at a very young age; this next decade will be hers.

I get about 8 frames per second on this site. I don't understand how websites are built so badly these days.

In a word? Abstraction. In two words? Abstraction and apathy.

While this looks cool, kinda like the UI from some 90ies SciFi movie come to live... what is it? As in, yeah, I can click around, but I don't see what it really does...

You navigate through lots of videos of fans performing Bad Guy - but the twist is they're sync'd up so you can move between them and the song continues without interruption but now it's a different person performing the song.

video of the same song all across youtube are synchronized: you can click and jump from one video to the other and the song continue 'seamlessly'

For me it buffers a lot when switching so it doesn't keep the rhythm and the syncing is wasted.

And I have a pretty good internet connection. I never get buffering on youtube.

Anyway, great idea.
