UPDATE 9TH OCTOBER:

 

From last night:

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oRVuLwDQoQ]YouTube - One Direction - Viva la vida X factor Liveshow 2010 Top 12[/ame]

Shouldn't be allowed. Can't they please just leave Coldplay alone?:angry:

Coldplay covers should be illegal in every country on earth and a felony in the United States.

I completely agree. Maybe somebody should start a campaign!:lol:

We don't have the show in France and that's good for me because I don't want to see it.

Yes, but I'm sure there must be a French equivalent, such as French Idol?:confused:

unfortunately yes:confused:

In that case, they probably do the same sort of "merde" on there.................... :dozey:

^ I hate that girl, I'm sorry but she just looks, acts, and sounds so stupid

she sings it to smiley

 

that doesnt make sense does it?

 

 

i mean... the wavering and just... the song is supposed to be full of emotion and melancholy and regret and mourning and she sings like like "Lolz, its such a shame for us to part :nice: "

^ yes she smiles way to much, and her teeth are very horsey :laugh3:

agreed

 

Mr Edd should not have been allowed on X factor.

 

 

I cant believe they sent her a bunch of autographed stuff and a handwritten note.

 

 

/jealous/

Well that ain't making me watch X- Factor :P

I Will Only watch it if ... I Dunno they perform on it live which is something that they will never do because they're too good for X Factor

It's always Viva La Vida :( That song sure got destroyed by the hype.

Does anybody else feel unfazed by the Coldplay covers - especially Viva La Vida - by this point? I mean, part of that may have to do with the fact that I no longer really care about Viva La Vida the song, but I've seen snippets of so many covers (most of them bad) that I no longer really care when someone else covers the song, or any other Coldplay song for that matter.

 

If someone wants to cover it, let them. If they cover it badly, then lots of shame, but it's not like the song is ruined forever.

I agree. She came across like a total airhead.:dozey:

In a way we should be glad that Viva la Vida is getting butchered every week, otherwise they could take aim at The Scientist instead!
