If Gary is as good a song writer as some of the media would have us believe then why can't he just write a new song with the same kind of vibe? Oh whats that? ITS BECAUSE HE'S SH*T!!!

The reason Teardrop works so well is because its the same voice and builds up and up throughout the whole song and thats going to be completely lost with about a million people taking it in turns to sing a bit. if the BBC wanted a credible song but one that will catch on in the mainstream then they should have just asked Adele to use one of her singles off her album or something
