October 11, 200916 yr 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]
October 11, 200916 yr Darin's version makes me want to puke. Honestly. Not even my 12 year old sister likes it.
October 11, 200916 yr I have never heard a good cover of a Coldplay song. Me either. "The Scientist" was ruined on X Factor yesterday.:angry:
October 11, 200916 yr Me either. "The Scientist" was ruined on X Factor yesterday.:angry: I saw that too! Awful! No feeling at all. Blech.
October 11, 200916 yr I saw that too! Awful! No feeling at all. Blech. You saw it in Sweden?:confused:
October 11, 200916 yr 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. :\
October 11, 200916 yr 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.
October 12, 200916 yr Do people really have to do this? Why don't they sing a already horrible song? (aka. Something by Lady GaGa or Miley Cyrus)?
October 13, 200916 yr 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:
October 13, 200916 yr 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
October 13, 200916 yr 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:
October 13, 200916 yr 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.
October 13, 200916 yr 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.
