What is the vocalist's name?
Audra
always awesome!!!!
First To Eleven 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Weezers did a cover of this too can you do Beverly hills by weezers
I'm a 63 year-old codger and have seen about 20 versions of this song and I like this one the best . I think the drummer likes his job
yup, the drummer got me thinking of Animal, the muppet :)
65 here and I agree with you 100%
ok boomer
Absolutely. I was thinking the same thing, and he's great too :-)
I think just the same as you sir. And even your thoughts on the drummer align with mine.
I love the way she sings "slowly learning that life is ok". It makes me smile every time 😉
And repeat after me it's no better to be safe than sorry....
It sounds like there's a bit of an accent in there.
I never picked up on that line until she sang it. Hmmm, I owe them another tHanks!
In fantasy yes. In reality it never will be. Sadly these are facts..
I am 51 ...grew up with this song ...seen many covers and this one kills it.....you guys need to make sure you pay that drummer enough money so he never leaves. LOL ....
Also 51, and despite my general gayness hopelessly in love with that drummer. Holy shit, are we sure he's not a god?
Discovered this band a few days ago. Can't stop listening to their material, paticularily this track. Their music is so authentic, organic and tight. The purity of Audra's vocals counterpoints the heavy and 'dirty' feel of the rest of the band, giving their sound a genuine 'beauty and the beast' vibe. As the modern music world largely seems to be slipping ever deeper into a self-imposed vacuum of mass-produced mediocrity, it's heartening to see them gathering such a following, and verifies that there is a sizeable chunk of people who still turn to the 'real deal' for their preferred listening. Reading through the comments, it's unsurprising to find that a lot of their followers hail from my own generation, and an era where the wheat and the chaff were seperated in short order. The world needs more bands like this. Kudos to them all.
I just found them as well. I've watched multiple videos this morning. They are fantastic. Lady gaga to a ha. She kills everyone of them. I was in junior high when take me on came out..I'm loving this cover. ❤
My dudes, I’m gen X and only discovered this band today. Love their sound and will be following them closely. Frankwilson said it better than ever could.
Ok bots
They should sing new songs and oldies to show their versatility.
That drummer is KILLING IT!!! Wow - well done!!
This song is so hard to sing. Damn she does song justice even that insane high note hit perfectly loves this band hardcore
i have a feeling there is a lot of autotune assistance
auto tune princess
Yep. Unfortunately she’s gone full auto tune on almost every song these days. It’s a damn shame.
It does require a lot of beer to do this one for karaoke. Some for the performer and much more for the audience.
Exactly, this a very difficult song to sing, but she nails it!!!
45 Year old guy here, this cover blew me away. Such a good job. Subscribed and look forward to more of your of your excellent takes on such classics.
I was a thirteen years old when A-Ha released the original song, and this is, hands down, the BEST cover I've ever heard. Awesome!
Have you heard the Broken Peach version?
@@tb7771 yeah, they're okay.
I agree, very different style than the original but with the same energy.
Hey drummer dude. Everyone tends to focus of the guitars and vocals, but you rock, dude! And you seem to be having fun doing it which makes it even better.
From some old random internet nutter who has been drumming since the early 80's XD
I love that 2:13 🔥🥁😍
he did his part the better
/cry in bass
Miles Hunt hair ❤...defo a cut above...injected some emotion...
This comment is underrated tbh :D (and yeah ur fricking right sire :D )
This request might get annoying bust yall would kill The Pretty Reckless Make Me Wanna Die. Live you guys by the way and I'm working on a drawing of you Audra!
Or Light me up
pewdiepie 2018 that's a good suggestion
Colton Thompson I a could see that being interesting
plz do the pretty reckless yeees!
or Heaven Knows
Timeless performance
of a timeless song !!!
1-awesome vocals 🎵
2- perfection with guitar 🎸
3-perfection with bass 🎵
4- unbelievable rhythm,skill, and fun
from the drummer
I know this band could do an incredible cover of 'A Tout le Monde' by Megadeth back from 2007 with another powerful female vocalist Christina Scabbia( who also covered songs like 'Nothing else Matters' . Keep it up guys !!!!!!!
Seriously, that's a damn solid bass tone y'all have. It cuts through the mix well without being obtrusive, and it also has the proper low end / crunch blend while still being clean enough to not sound grainy or fuzzy.
This might be the best cover you've done yet! Absolutely INCREDIBLE. There is no limit to how high I want to turn the volume on this song.
I get the feels whenever a cover of Take On Me is good.
I got the feels. You guys killed it! Matt! Your guitar skills are, as always, incredible!
I'm an 80's kid growing up seeing this on MTV when they actually played videos. This track is apart of the soundtrack of my childhood. Hope you do a cover of Alphavilles - Forever Young! Love the energy
This song does so much for me…takes me back in seconds! So well done!
Ladies and gentlemen, the hype train has arrived at the platform. Everyone is getting in board.
On*
Train go boom
Lol
Ma' Pleasure 😁
I'm going to wait for the Crazy Train.
I've only discovered this band yesterday and been listening to so many of their covers. All of them have been amazing. You now have a new subscriber and I can't wait to hear more 😍
Welcome!!!
Brilliant young musicians!!!
Stunning voices...well done!
This Band is Awesomely Talented they can play anything,this young Singer and their guitarists,drummer are gifted musicians!
I like how your vocals are not “predictable.” You go to a different key and it really adds something to your style.
I was thinking the same damn thing. These guys are amazing!!
I'm diggin' the camera movement in the last couple of videos. Reminds me of Scott Pilgrim.
is it in my recommendation because of the tlou2?
Folks you are simply AMAZING!! As an amateur (very basic) guitar strummer, I wonder where your guitarist gets all that sound! And Audra's voice is amazing!!
What seems to stand out is how this if filmed. The camera is constantly moving, creating quite a dynamic admosphere. Good job cameraman!
It’s the editor. Most of Those effects are done after. But yes the camera is also dynamic
That high note though!! It was so smooth❤
How???!!! How was this not a thing, ages ago?! Awesome cover.. literally, the exact song I think of in my mind, when I think about the type of songs that First To Eleven does. Now it's real... cool.
Great arrangement and performance. Quite a range Audra has! Love it! Thanks and keep up the good work!
I am 53 years old and I belong to that generation of boys and girls who grew up with this song. This is still by far one of my favorite songs from the 80s and this is perhaps one of the best covers I have seen so far of A-ha's Take of Me. Thank you guys for this cover and for bringing me back to the 80s one of the best stages of my life.
We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, ok?
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is ok
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh, things that you say
Is it a life or just to play my worries away?
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Take on me (take on me)
Take me on (take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day
Thanks
because we couldn't have googled it ourselves?

Love you Guys from Argentina! Amazing cover
In 1 minute... Wow😑
Re piola
Lo que dice la piba ×2
Watching these guys is like living the high school dream all over again.
Love you guys! Mad guitar skills brother! Love the solo. Really makes this arraignment unique.
Suggestion for next cover
Belinda Carlisle - heaven is a place on earth.
We’re never gonna survive- SEAL
Madonna - Papa Don't Preach 👍
Ooh, love me some Belinda Carlisle!
@@2128jrandall sure but "Our Lips are Sealed" would be far better.
tiffany - i think we´re alone now
I love the drummer's expressions hahah
I absolutely LOVE the passion I feel from each one of you. Incredible. Keep sharing your tremendous talents. You make people so happy. :)
Good job! You achieved something that so few can! Making a song yours without changing what the song is! That’s rare!
80s music is better than most of today’s new music.
Awesome! This is one song that is hard to duplicate, she hit the highs and the band is spot on! 👍👍👍
Audra's vocals are on point.(as always)
Big challenge to cover one of the world's biggest hits. And you guys have done a fantastic job. Loved it.
I will never get bored of this song. Beautifully composed pop song that trancends time..
Me: "I don't like cover bands."
Also me: "A new F211 cover everyone shut up! *cranks volume*
Outstanding! I think this is my favorite of your covers. It's absolutely joyful!
49-year-old dad who loves this song and I have to confess: I’ve listened to this cover on repeat ALL MORNING. It’s SO BEAUTIFUL.
Today is the first time I have ever heard of this group First to Eleven and I think they're great. Watched several of their songs by Zeppelin, Nickleback and this one. Very impressed. That little lady can really sing.
So, my favorite covers are:
1. Take on me
2. Toxic
3. Poker face
You are amazing, guys!!
❤❤❤
mine is attention, take on me, and new rules
guys please check out my new cover song and support me if you like it
My favorite is Audra.
Mine's E. T., Sk8er Boi, and New Rules 😅😅
Who ever doubted that these guys would not make another masterpiece?
So many times I feel old and crotchety because I like originals better, but I like so many F211 covers equally or more than the originals. Maybe it's just the rock vibe you bring to the songs; whatever it is I like it. Also, Audra's voice is so awesome since it seems very adaptive. You have the grungy/gritty tambre in the alto range that just seamlessly works with the rock spin you put on songs, and then you pop up to the high notes for "in a day or two" and they're super crisp. Not sure if that was falsetto but it was awesome either way.
Great drums on this one , well done !
Can't say I was expecting this one, but boy am I glad you covered it!
Your band has some really stunning arrangements. I really like how you accent stuff. It's like listening to the songs remastered. Sometimes you bring out certain elements which the original was trying to do but got lost in the editing. What you're left with is much more epic sections, better harmonies and just fantastic editing.
Kkkkk original é o melhor não tem como comparar não falta nada na versão original
This cover of a-ha’s epic song is, well ... epic. I love it so much!
Like the keyboard conversion to guitar. And that kick drum, every song it powers through. Great musicians.
I was like, no way she is hitting that low note and then she did lol. awesome cover guys!
11th
Edit: This song got better and better as it went on lol
*7th
Ive never been lucky enough to get 11th....soon as it uploads i check the comments and theres always so many comments right off the rip lol
@@belgiangamer9506 damn i saw some people type 11th a couple of times, and i was 11th then. they got removed lol
@@belgiangamer9506 Oh and that account is mine... confusing lol
@@dragonstorm8171well i was too quick hahah
The best cover of this song I´ve ever seen!
I was an A-ha fan as a teenager. Then I became a rocker. Now - listening to this reworking - I fell in love with this song again. But only the First To Eleven version! : D
Thanks for sharing, it was a joy to listen!
I really appreciate how you guys did the chorus. Modulating the key, or whatever it was...Nobody does the chorus quite like a-ha, but this was certainly a unique take!
It's just shifted down, I think she's actually an Alto, not a Soprano and that would be a really high note for a Soprano
I DON'T BELIEVE! I was thinking about this cover yesterday. "They should do it" 🇧🇷♥️
Full of energy. Love this band.❤
Awesome interpretation, original and keeping character of song! Guitarists drumming are on another level!
Great cover! Thank you for keeping the spirit of the song, while giving it your own flavor.
Man listening to this while still in Pandemic just makes me feel better so thanks First to Eleven
Dude first 2 eleven is definitely becoming my favorite cover band!!
Awesome!! This Group Always Looks Like Their Having So Much Damn FUN!!! Congrats!! Best To All Of You!
I love take on me. It's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The direction you went with it was a perfect combination of todays rock mixed with the classics of that era. Cant wait to see what you do next. Maybe a cover of "time after time" would be a wonderful addition to your covers
Now THAT is an excellent cover choice.
Please!
❤️❤️❤️ Love this, kiss from France 🇫🇷
Partage cette vidéo, je veux que tous les Français écoutent ce groupe!
@@lordgothys6066 les français, on est là 🖐
France gang 🇫🇷❤
Ils viennent en France j'y vais direct
Fan depuis plus d'un an, j'adore ce groupe ! Leurs covers sont justes énormes ! Souvent meilleures que les originaux ! 💕💕💕
One of my favorite 80's jams!! Nice job!!!
A seventy-one-year-old geezer who began teaching high school kids in the 80s. Loved them, love this song, love this version!
that smile at very end of the outro... you know they all just broke down for no reason as soon as the camera stopped
I love you guys from Mexico. Audra's voice is impressive.
I’ve watched this video like 100 times, one of my favourite. I just love how every one of you clearly enjoys what you do and it really comes across
Excellent cover! I'm binging and don't think I've come across a song I don't like
This is one of the best ones yet. This is a killer cover 🔥🔥
One of the rare cover songs that are as good as the original version! I take on you guys ;)
This video is precisely the female cover of Take on Me I’ve been searching for! I didn’t expect this to be a rock n roll version cover. It's still awesome.
I remember dancing on the dance floor in a high school disco to this song, back on its original release in the 80s... soooo long ago now.. lol. This rockier version is by far the best version I have ever heard! Its amazeballs! \m/
AHHHHHHH I just played TLOU2 and Ellie sings this song in the game too, guys you killed it like always
For Joel
This is a wonderful version of Take On Me. By the way, a-ha played very often also a rock version of this song in their concerts.
Literally left me speechless and that never happens 😂 but seriously i loved this cover
Love this cover. And yes, I'm old enough to remember the original when it was new...
I'd like to hear Wake Me Up When September Ends in your performance guys
More like Wake Me Up When Corona Ends...
@@johnsampson6387 haha. im laughing so hard. '_'
I'd like to take on the singer!!! Thanks I am here all week.
Brilliant song,well sung.Brilliant drums,some of the best I've heard.
Great vocals! Great musicians!
I think "Innocence" and/or "When You're Gone" of Avril Lavigne are great options for next covers!
Also, I love your job guys, you are amazing! Greetings from Argentina!!
or Hot by Avril
she'd get Soooooo many views if she covered "i touch myself" by Divinyls lol
Los argentinos estamos en todos lados 😆
Bruh we’ve been waiting for complicated by avril
guys please check out my new cover song and support me if you like it
Charlie this old drummer needs a tutorial of what you're laying down here! That was so sick! You guys rock! Great cover of probably my most favorite song of all time. BTW your cover of Blinding Lights is my favorite from you guys so far.
Great covers, period. The drummer is a kick in head, obviously loves what he does. I like the attitude of the band members all around.
Nailed it - thats perfect. there are three perfect versions of this song, two of them feature Morten Harket and one of them is by first to 11
Love the singing Audra, and the band is great. I also am an old codger of 71 and love the music you guys cover, including many of the later hits.
This was absolutely amazing. I love this song and I am always skeptic when someone attempts a cover of it, but that chorus made me smash the like button.
The drummer is sick - love it best part you can see how he is having fun and loving it
How is it that I am just finding this cover!!! Love it guys, very nice!!!
Flawless cover, I'm just simply glad I was born in a time where I could listen to this in awe 🤟
Peace be to all ❤
Not an easy song to sing as it covers 3 octaves, but she nails it.
Incredible talent with F211!!! Well done😊
All of you are so special and wonderfully expressive !
Each of your individual personalities seems to be revealed in your enthusiasm, body language, and overall expressions such that the 4 of you come together to become a fabulous whole.
Keep up the good work. Watch each other's back, and be there; genuinely caring for one another. You make a fantastic musical team. It is so clear how much each of you truly loves what you do. Take care.
The Best COVER I ever heard : perfect !!!!
amazing!!! her voice is 10X
omg...i LOVE how she does classics also!!! GOLD!
