I don't like Glee. I only saw it once. They screw up lots of good songs the night I saw it.

A lot of good bands got covered by glee, it still sucks but eh. What are you gonna do? This is their decision and if they want to ruin their career and lose many fans then so be it.

 

WHATCHA GONNA DO

I think we should stop complaining and just be thankful they're not covering Trouble or The Scientist instead.

yeah, thank god I don't like Fix You as much as everyone do

I never, ever understood this line of thinking. It's this ridiculous "out-of-sight-out-of-mind" way of thinking. I'm sorry, but I don't view anything in life like that. It deeply saddens me to learn that a song that means so much for many people is going to be trashed on Glee. Yes, the performances will be great I'm sure, yes it will be high production, but it's going to lessen the amount of force that song has for so many people.

 

It's far deeper than that. It's about the rhetoric behind it and the concept of selling music to a television show.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I might have not been clear with this. I meant that for me it works like that, I didn't mean that for others it would work like that.

As I said in my comment, it works for me to just not watch Glee and so I don't get a lesser/disturbed feeling for Fix You. :S It might be selfish, but yeah, yeah I guess it is. :sneaky:

maybe they're just doing it for the publicity........good idea though

 

the worst thing that could happen is if it gets millions of views on youtube and it becomes 'popular' on youtube

I don't see why people are more upset over a televised cover than Charlie Brown being all over Sky 1...

I think we should stop complaining and just be thankful they're not covering Trouble or The Scientist instead.

 

If Glee covered Amsterdam I would consider putting a bullet through my head.

 

But that cover would not make any sense, so it's okay :P

Aw, so true Thom.

 

And barf to Fix You being on Glee... One of the reasons I loved coldplay so much was because they were against selling their music...

 

sighh.

 

Having a tv show cover your song is not selling your music. Agree with Thom Yorke (one of the few things he said without shit coming out of his mouth) but so many acts have been covered by Glee that it is relatively inoffensive now. Heck they even covered U2's One but that is purely U2's baby still. But that's the power of one of the greatest songs ever written.

 

One>>>>>>Fix You

What don't you understand about song licensing fees? Glee has a budget for every episode and significant portion of that budget is used to buy the rights to songs. The musician/band has the right of refusal to sell the rights to a song, a stance Coldplay had actually taken earlier...

Here it is, sorry if it's been posted..

Ugh sorry not for me, but thank you for trying Matthew Morrison!

:sick:

 

It's not horrendously awful, but could have lived without it even being done. I listed to the first minute and was over it! :lol:

It sounds like he's saying "yights" instead of "lights". It sounds alright to me. I like the guitar n the original.

Well, it's not as bad as having it on a car commercial, but I do think Coldplay will be profiting from it..They must be. It is their song.

 

And, in my opinion, Fix You > One.

 

And Fix You is one of my all time favourite songs with a lot of memories attached to it, so to be honest, if Glee did VLV, I really wouldn't have given a shit.

Meh, I really couldn't care less about this. Matthew Morrison did a decent job with the song, and Fix You is nowhere near being any of my favorite songs to begin with so I'm ok with that. Plus, I know it's not a cover of the song, but for instance coldplay songs get played on greys anatomy ALL the time, so this pretty much plays around the same field for me.... Nothing new here :tongue:

This is pretty much how I feel about the situation. It doesn't bother me that much to be honest.

I liked Glee when it first started but now YUCK. I will not listen to it because lately, they just ruin the songs.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. But I still hate it.

after hearing the first verse. i hate it.. i know it's a cover and all, but hell no.. it does not sound good to me at ALL... :nod:

I have nothing against Glee, but I find Matthew Morrison intolerable :sick:

i don't like or hate glee or whatever so I was quite open about it, but I think it's kind of boring. He did it ok I guess? although I don't like it when he sings high at the start. While the original is just amazing to me (I think it's the song that got me into Coldplay?)

I guess it's a combination of Chris' voice and different instrumentation that makes it better than this and I think coldplay plays it a bit more raw.

I kind of like that they are using a Coldplay song because I love when their music pops up unexpectedly, and it shows how far reaching their music is. However, I am not a fan of how the song sounds in this show. I liked the tv show the first season, but I've sort of lost interest in it. I will watch this episode to see how the whole song turns out...but it doesn't look promising. Except maybe the part where they seem to all be singing it together on stage...that might give me goosebumps.

I do like watching Glee, looking forward to next weeks episode and hear their Fix You cover.

I was just happy they're finally doing a Coldplay song. :P It's okay, but his voice to too clear for a song like Fix You, imo.

sorry, i just couldn't like it. His voice doesn't work with that song. Its not as bad as I thought it would be, but Im just not digging it at all. :thumbsdown:
