theloveless Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 So, here in Sweden Coldplay songs have been sung many times on our verison of Idol, so I was just thinking maybe we could gather all the Idol-Coldplay-covers from different countries in one thread and discuss :) For example.... The Scientist [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4LMyAsp734]YouTube - Daniel Karlsson - The scientist (2007-09-24) Swedish Idol[/ame] Fix you [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkU6vCL-aCQ]YouTube - Markus Fagervall - Fix You (Idol 2006)[/ame] Politik (one of the judges comment on this was "I think this song is shit":dozey: ) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIxQsPMc_tg]YouTube - Lars Eriksson - Politik /Coldplay - kvalfinal idol 2008[/ame] Viva la Vida (this guy should seriously be arrested for butchering Viva like this...) :facepalm: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dwy4nS3Aug]YouTube - Idol 2008 Johan Palm - Viva la vida[/ame] ... and Viva again.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WmSjo7bkJg]YouTube - Darin Viva la Vida Live at Idol 2009[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

analoeskah Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Terrible. All of them. There never good cover of Coldplay songs.. I think the best one is this. And this isn't even on a talent-show. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HLRP6r0XnQ]YouTube - Simon Keizer - Viva La Vida[/ame] I still don't like it really. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadette Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Urgh. I can't stand Coldplay covers. It is so hard to see anyone doing their songs justice except - well - Coldplay. Funny, I kinda owe Johan for that horrible cover. It made me realize just how freaking amazing Coldplay is. Eventhough I had known it for years.

flickahidalgo Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Do people really have to do this? Why don't they sing a already horrible song? (aka. Something by Lady GaGa or Miley Cyrus)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBellaStrawberry Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Oh my word. I not very good :\ But, I kinda love how people choose Coldplay instead of something else. Its just sometimes they ruins it :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destrokk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Some of the artist i respect.. Like Avril Lavigne's cover of The Scientist. It just... wasn't very good. :uhoh: It's like only Chris' voice can sing those songs.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV Gal Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I don't know the guy's name but there was a contestant on American Idol last season who sang Viva La Vida. The result: he was booted off the next night. :laugh3: I there is a YouTube clip of just the his version but not of the actual performance. What really shocks me are the comments from people saying his version was not bad. :shocked2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destrokk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 People are stupid. They can't improve a coldplay song :D How naive of them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Some of the artist i respect.. Like Avril Lavigne's cover of The Scientist. It just... wasn't very good. :uhoh: It's like only Chris' voice can sing those songs.. :D Avril butchered it to tiny little bits and pieces and then threw it to the dogs. My ears bled when I heard that one. :( I approach Coldplay covers very cautiously these days, especially after the Lady Gaga incident, so I won't be pressing the play button on those youtube vids in the first post... However, The Kooks' version of Violet Hill is pretty sweet. That's the only Coldplay cover I actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parachutes_ Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ugh. I have... no words. They always use Viva La Vida as a soundtrack in the background as well, while people are being interviewed or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
