April 20, 200917 yr She said some pretty nice things about him/Coldplay. I was listening on the radio at work. Yeah it's not the greatest version, but at least she's tried something new with it. Is so easy to criticise someone, but there's worse out there. She writes all her own stuff, she's a classically trained pianist, she has a really great voice, she's not just a pop tart and at least she just didn't do a direct copy and call it a cover, like most people do. She could have been the next Alicia Keys or whatever, but she isn't, she's trying something new. I'm not her greatest fan, but at the same time at least she isn't another chick having songs written for her then her vocals produced until they sound passable. :shrug:
April 20, 200917 yr but i think otherwise it's a good job A GOOB JOB??!!! this woman seriously think it was a good job? urgh. ok i do think she's got quite tolerable voice...but just not this song.. it sounds wrong in any possible ways.. like Emma(Cobalt) always say....DO NOT WANT.
April 20, 200917 yr Actually I somehow like it - but it doesn't sound like Viva La Vida to me. Except of the lyrics which do not really sound like Viva all the time anyway. At least I know three pictures of her now very well. :dozey: But honestly, she shouldn't have covered it. I don't know her music so well and just know Pocker Face and Dance, but Coldplay doesn't seem to be something similar. And because she doesn't seem to want to change her ... 'individual' style for a cover, maybe Viva wasn't the best choice. In my opinion at least.
April 20, 200917 yr In my opinion, it was a bad cover. Her voice has absolutly no feeling, there's no atmosphere, just bad choosen lyrics and the changed melody she played wasn't very nice either. :thumbsdown:
April 20, 200917 yr Honestly, I didn't think it was that bad. Though I'm not a fan of her music, she has a pretty strong voice. It was different and fun, which is nice. I don't think I've heard a Coldplay cover from a major artist that I actually liked :/ (Except Natasha Bedingfield's take on The Scientist. The Live Lounge version was alright, but I saw some concert footage and thought it was lovely!) And I think covers are really cool when they're in a totally different genre (like Snow Patrol covering Beyonce :dance:).
April 20, 200917 yr And I think covers are really cool when they're in a totally different genre (like Snow Patrol covering Beyonce :dance:).But only if the artist who is covering loves the song and knows how to express his love. There are a lot good covers crossing genre 'borders', but the artists perform with passion and this one ... I just hadn't the feeling she actually likes Viva. :rolleyes:
April 20, 200917 yr A much better Coldplay cover: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCLqev7Fx2A]YouTube - The Kooks - Violet Hill[/ame] At least they didn't screw up the lyrics and drastically change things around
April 20, 200917 yr oh good Lord not another lame artist ripping off Coldplay!! Yes - there should be a law against it!!:angry:
April 20, 200917 yr Yes - there should be a law against it!!:angry: Satriani is suing the wrong person
April 20, 200917 yr Not NEAR as bad as THIS though: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfHh2r6os6M]YouTube - Jonas Brothers- Fix You (Coldplay Cover)[/ame]
April 20, 200917 yr I think i'm gonna pass on the Jonas Brothers LMAO, it could ruin Fix You in my head forever !
April 20, 200917 yr it just might! especially with all the little teenie boppers screaming over everything.
April 20, 200917 yr Lady Gaga does Coldplay... Ok so I bet everyone hates when other singers do Coldplay covers, as do I. I found this on perez hilton earlier http://perezhilton.com/2009-04-20-gaga-does-coldplay#respond Lady Gaga did a cover of Viva La Vida, and she didn't know like any of the words/ changed the whole song basically. I really despise it but I'm only posting it becayse I think it's funny in the end when she sings about Gwenyth and Chris.
April 20, 200917 yr Not NEAR as bad as THIS though: ahhh that was terrible! Horrific! They couldn't even get the music right.... what is this world coming to!
