Leona Lewis.
snow patrols version
i like both though
i love both,but i prefer Leonas version.for these reasons;
1.on SP's version they change the chorus each time,Leona keeps the "louder,louder" each time.
2.Leona vocals sound much better on the song
3.the instrumemntal is much more modern
4.the EPICness of the final chorus when the gospel choir come in.

I understand all but number 2... LOL
He vocals are beautiful don't get me wrong... but the song was made for Gary's voice... you cannot top him on that. He makes the song beautiful.. Leona makes it... leona'fied :P...
(She is a beautiful singer though.. :D)

YEAH! We could be like the X men without super powers, being mutants or the mass amount of leather (Except on the weekend! :joker:)
Snow Patrol, I just prefer that type of music but Leona's is really good as well if you're into that sort of thing ...

The "Best of 2008" music in your signature is all mainstream.

Not all of it. Most of them haven't done that well in the charts this year.
Not to mention, putting a bunch of unknown names in my sig would be kinda pointless because no-one would know who they are.
I'm not saying I don't listen to mainstream, I just don't SOLELY listen to it. I couldn't personally see how anyone could.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike people's narrow minded-ness when it comes to music as well. The fact that some people would only even listen to something which is in the top 20 on iTunes or on the radio 1 playlist is beyond me. I just equally dislike the other end of the spectrum where people seem to hate on mainstream sucessful artists for the sake of wanting to seem alternative and specialist. It comes across as pretentious (I'm not saying that's you by the way).

Oh no, I'm not purposely hating people because their successful, I love Katy Perry, she's had a great year, same with The Ting Tings. People like Leona though, I'm not a fan of, hate the music, can't stand her voice, no reason for me to like her.
I try to listen to a mixture, just on a site like this where everyone seems to revolve around the charts, it does get annoying, and I'm sure others agree, hence we need somewhere to discuss lesser known artists.
Not even alternative/rock/indie, there's unknown artists of ALL genres, anyone can come and discuss.

Its a beatiful uplifting song and both versions are sung brilliantly by world class artists.
However, unless there are exceptional circumstances I always give the benefit of doubt to the original, thats why I voted for Snow Patrol's version despite loving Leona's cover version.

The instrumental is more 'modern' but I think SP's is just unbelievable. It's my favourite insturmental in a song ever.

Yeah, and I don't think there's anything wrong with an 'old' instrumental. It's like saying a new artist is better than one that was successful 20 years ago :]
Snow Patrol's is the perfect package<3
edit;; i swear Snow Patrol keep the 'louder, louder'.

well i personaly think a modern sound is better then an old one so thats why i said that.
& they do but they add this in
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
which ruins it IMO.

well IMO it ruins the song when it reaches that part.its not necessary to include those 2 verses which makes Leonas version better IMO and when you say "X-Factor artists" whats XF got to do with anything?the fact that shes from XF wouldnt change your opinion on weather editing the lyrics ruins it or not.so its kinda ironic that your using the phrase "X-Factor artist " as a negative yet you watch it every Saturday night.

Jen, I was meaning to ask your opinion on this, cuz you:love:SP aswell
I detest this version of the song tbh, it pissed me off enough that the original was overplayed, and ive only just got over that, so this is ridiculous as far as im concerned :laugh:

ok 2 points.
1. it's their song, so they aren't 'changing' anything.
2. her vocals get on my nerves so much, some songs I can deal with her but her vibrato in this is so horrendous it makes me want to punch myself in the face.
At points it sounds like she's sitting on a washing machine

lmao i dont get how anyone can say snow patrol ruined the song by changing it, um no, it's theirs =\
Leona, as talented as she is is utter **** at it, and I don't get why some people believe that big voice = amazing because it's not the case at all. There's **** all emotion in that song compared to the original.
Apparently, Snow Patrol like Leona's version too.............at least that's what the lead singer (Gary) said in the Daily Record.
