Coldplay songs on Idol

theloveless · 11-10-2009, 07:54 PM

So, here in Sweden Coldplay songs have been sung many times on our verison of Idol, so I was just thinking maybe we could gather all the Idol-Coldplay-covers from different countries in one thread and discuss

For example....

The Scientist

YouTube - Daniel Karlsson - The scientist (2007-09-24) Swedish Idol

Fix you

YouTube - Markus Fagervall - Fix You (Idol 2006)

Politik (one of the judges comment on this was "I think this song is shit"

)

YouTube - Lars Eriksson - Politik /Coldplay - kvalfinal idol 2008

Viva la Vida (this guy should seriously be arrested for butchering Viva like this...)

YouTube - Idol 2008 Johan Palm - Viva la vida

... and Viva again....

YouTube - Darin Viva la Vida Live at Idol 2009

Do you have to do that? They always ruin them.

AnnaElisabeth · 11-10-2009, 07:57 PM

Darin's version makes me want to puke. Honestly. Not even my 12 year old sister likes it.

I have never heard a good cover of a Coldplay song.

I don't understand.

analoeskah · 11-10-2009, 08:55 PM

Terrible. All of them.
There never good cover of Coldplay songs.. I think the best one is this. And this isn't even on a talent-show.

YouTube - Simon Keizer - Viva La Vida

I still don't like it really.

Vadette · 11-10-2009, 09:14 PM

Urgh. I can't stand Coldplay covers. It is so hard to see anyone doing their songs justice except - well - Coldplay.

Funny, I kinda owe Johan for that horrible cover. It made me realize just how freaking amazing Coldplay is. Eventhough I had known it for years.

flickahidalgo · 12-10-2009, 02:44 AM

Do people really have to do this? Why don't they sing a already horrible song? (aka. Something by Lady GaGa or Miley Cyrus)?
