October 19, 200916 yr Sorry if someone else already mentioned it here... So today I was looking for a song on iTunes when suddenly I noticed that Coldplay's "The Scientist" was currently on the fifth position of the single charts. :stunned: It just took me a few seconds to find out that some people of the (terrible) Popstars show actually (tried to) perform (ed) this song last week. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caWwyeoMC60]YouTube - Andy, Daniel, Elif, Esra und Sandra 4. Workshop[/ame] Bad or very bad? What do you think? :D
October 19, 200916 yr I watched it last thursday. My opinion: BAD It could've been worse :D Well, one of the singers there was in my art class, and he told me there that they sang The Scientist on this show, so I was prepared for the worst! :lol:
October 19, 200916 yr I only heard the last second of it while switching through the channels ... and I was like: Damn, I am one lucky person for not watching this show.
October 19, 200916 yr Hi Lars!!! :dance: OUCH 3:07mins hurts. A lot. What is the guy singing?? "I was ??? At numbers and figures..." And it's "Questions of science Science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart" What she's singing makes no sense. Apparently they can't even learn those few lines they're singing. :dozey: He said that has been the best performance?? I know why I'm not watching TV anymore... But good that it brought the song in the top 5 :)
October 19, 200916 yr The Scientist performed on German Popstars show - no. 5 in German charts Thanks for posting this. When the first one - the young man - started to sing "The Scientist", I thought YES. But soon it turned out that this wonderful song would be sung as a CANON (mus. piece with different parts taking up the same theme successively), and as a canon I did not like it. But if each of the singers had sung this song alone, I would still have said YES, because I liked their voices. But I did not like that "The Scientist" was sung as a canon. One of the men evaluating the young singers' performances had tears in his eyes! And you wrote that their cover version of "The Scientist" is no. 5 in the German singles charts? That reminds me of Darin who debuted with his cover version of "Viva la Vida" in the Swedish single chart yesterday (Sunday 18 October 2009). His version was oversweet so after having heard it 3 times (a video is posted on a thread about VLV cover), I felt a bit sick. When I hear the original sung by Coldplay, I am still flying - I simply cannot get enough of that Coldplay song - sung by COLDPLAY. But to sum up: The young singers' voices were great, BUT I did NOT like this cover version of "the Scientist" because it was sung as a CANON.
October 19, 200916 yr Sorry, but I laughed really hard at that video! I think it sounds terrible! :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: And what is with those things covering their eyes??? :lol:

But after a while it only hurts! :D Well it's on the fifth position of the iTunes single charts. I don't know if they're the same charts as the official one. But I don't think so. ;)
October 19, 200916 yr It is bad... :wreck: I think both the singers was bad and the stage looked bad... :\ On the positiv side: then it could have been more bad than that... :) A swedish prof popstar, Darin, have made a cover of Viva la Vida.. ... and it is not good either :\ :wreck:
October 19, 200916 yr I do not like covers of songs i like D: and that performance just hurts by the end of it. :laugh3:
October 19, 200916 yr The Scientist cover version in Germany Sorry, but I laughed really hard at that video! I think it sounds terrible! :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: I TOTALLY AGREE! And what is with those things covering their eyes??? :lol: ANSWER: IT WAS - FOR GOOD REASONS - MEANT TO COVER THEIR EARS (AS WELL)!! :laugh3::D:lol: And if we had been warned we would have covered our ears too or not listened at all? :laugh3::D:lol: But what about the man who was to evaluate their performances? He was crying - tears running down his cheeks? If only it had been because he too couldn't bear to hear this beautiful song exposed to these people singing it as a canon?
October 19, 200916 yr If anyone performs a Coldplay song they should be sentenced to 24 hours' enforced listening to Wolfgang Petry's entire back catalogue.:smug:

October 19, 200916 yr "Horror, Horror, Horror", more like!!:rolleyes: :laugh3: Or maybe "Shit, Shit, Shit" ???
October 19, 200916 yr Ugh! What a dreadful piece of shit! A couple of those girls sound absolutely out of their depth singing this song, turning it into another trashy pop song. One word - SHIT
October 19, 200916 yr better than the avril lavigne (sp?) cover version, no? bahah either way it was awful. It reminded me of when that girl on Britain's Idol sang yellow....goodness people!
