Snow Patrol's Nathan Connolly has admitted that he is reluctant to give his backing to Leona Lewis's version of 'Run'.

The guitarist revealed that he has not yet heard Lewis's cover of the band's song and warned that he may not praise it when he does.

"I still haven't heard it. Nothing against her, but I don't know if I'm going to endorse it either," Connolly told ABC News. "It is what it is."

Lewis has included her version of the song on the deluxe edition of her debut album Spirit. She had previously performed it on Radio 1's Live Lounge in 2007.

The track has not yet been released as a single in the UK but it topped the charts in Ireland this week.

I read this article earlier today. I got the feeling he has heard it and doesn't like it but decided to take the tactful route by saying that.

I like both versions a lot, Snow Patrol's is more of an brilliant anthem I think while Leona's is spine-tingling. Both great versions of the song I say.

I agree Dezzy. I like both versions but they can't really be compared to each other, because the styles are so different.

lol

it already topped ireland?
nicE!

im sure they'd at least feel honoured that leona did a cover of their song, cuz it must mean that their song is that great! ^-^

Not necessarily. If you create a song, but don't like the style of the cover, then you wouldn't feel honoured.

^ I totally agree.
Now you've said it, I kinda get the impression that he dislikes it too xD

i strongly doubt he "hasn't heard it"
if somone coverd my song and it went to #1 in my home country id be listening to it on youtube straight away.
i love both versions but i prefer Leonas version as its more"spine-tingling" as Dezzy said, and the instrumnental suits the song more then the original IMO.
