How do you enjoy that? :\

[the_escapist]

I actually think it is pretty good (the cover).

[Raphaele]

sounds weird to me:confused:

[The Doctor]

it's weird and it misses something :\

[Corkus]

I dunno, I thought it sucked less than Coldplay's version, probably because Robyn actually specializes in dancey synthpop.

[macky]

LOVE THIS.
I actually just logged in to share it but you beat me to it.
Check out Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend, Indestructible, Dancing On My Own and Fembot. I think she is amazing.
This cover is not a karaoke, she puts her own spin to the song.

[VivaGroaning]

robyn is amazing and this is REAL GOOD STUFF YO.

[neonhorn22]

I like Robyn, but I didn't like this for some reason. It just didn't click for me.

ETA: Her "wa wa wa waterfalls" are awful. Almost borderline don't sound in tune and sound way cheesier without the effect Chris uses. I think ETIAW is just an average song, but Robyn's version made me appreciate Coldplay's version.

i expected the threads to get merged :p
after that it would have been a dp^^

I'm listening to it now, and I'm actually kinda liking it so far. Then again, I do like electronic music in general (the simple kinda. Not really much of House or Trance. And surely not dubstep)

EDIT: I will agree her "wa wa wa waterfall" isn't the best, but the rest is pretty good I think.

The other thread will get merged in this one.

I want everyone to think of whoever they happen to think has the most angelic voice in the world.

Now I want you to think of that angelic voice singing "Wa wa wa wa wa TURFALL"

It still sounds awful, doesn't it?

[neonhorn22]

I'm pretty sure Frank Sinatra, God rest his soul, would tear "wa wa wa wa turfall" up and it would sound like the shit!

[inengsol1500]

i think it sounds better, but i might be biased too because i am a really huge Robyn fangirl. :wacky:

[Corkus]

I'm usually extremely picky when it comes to electronic music. I won't listen to much of it. But Robyn is incredibly addictive to listen to.

[Batmotor]

it's an incredible bad cover,i never thought this song could get any more worse.

[Steph589]

I've tried to ignore that there was a cover...BUT then the guys posted this link on Twitter saying 'Thumbs up' and it turned out to be Robyn's cover. So...I listened to it. This kind of music is not really my cup of tea, so...meh

[The Final Track]

I love Robyn, not a bad cover at all. But I agree with Micheal (Corkus), there's no getting past those lyrics.

[SueDeNimes]

I like that cover, too. :)

They posted the cover in the official Coldplay Twitter and Facebook accounts.

[Jack Bauer]

It... sucked!

[ShotsIntheSky]

I thought the cover was....ok. :\ I personally like the original better...

[icedude2010]

Wasn't a big fan...
Actually it kinda made me cry :(

I prefer this version. I find it's sounds good, even if coldplay's version is better...

I thought this cover was much better than Robyn's, but I still agree that Coldplay's is so far the best version.
