  • snow patrol all the way!

  • why originals are better? i think leona's cover is just AMAZING

  • as a song i would listen to anytime, anyday, i prefer sp version.. i like the beat better, and te credit obviously goes to them. but leona's is so emotional, her voice is OUTSTANDING, and i looove how she changed it, made it like a completely diferent song. her performance on x factor blew me away, literally, i had goosebumps all over my body. it's funny how every night i'm with my parents at home and we're listening to good,normally old music, this also comes up and we are always blown away!

  • Why are you all arguing over opinions? No one can ever be right because they are purely subjective! Just enjoy whichever version you like.

    I'm with the original

  • Snow Patrol's version is better to listen to, but Leona's vocals are outstanding.... i vote Snow Patrol's was still better, you can't beat the original!! :P

  • I can't decide who does it better... but I guess since it's ORIGONALLY done by the Snow Patrol they kinda win XD Both versions are beautiful, though.

  • LEONA FANS ONLY... if you love her version more than Snow Patrol's version... read the new video script at...

    Leona Lewis Run music video new script

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNOW PATROL FANS...... DO NOT READ THIS SCRIPT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    (the script is not written for Snow Patrols version)

  • I prefer the Snow Patrol's version by far. If you check my channel for the live version of Gary Lightbody singing Run solo, it's so much better than both I think.

  • the instrumentals give snow patrol's version more depth whereas leona has the more emotive voice, solution? put them both together and you will have a song that NOBODY could beat.

  • I think Leona has the edge in this because she sings with more emotion.

  • The BBC will be releasing a ‘Best Of The Live Lounge’ album on the 6th of June, celebrating a decade of live lounge recordings from artists.

    Excitingly the album will feature the unreleased version of Leona Lewis’ mega hit ‘Run’. Originally the track was kept off of the Live Lounge albums. Leona released a studio version reaching Number 1 and break records in the process. In fact the track is still sitting quite comfortably in the German charts right now

  • Snow Patrol. By a clear mile. Gary Lightbody is a song writing force of nature.

    Leona Lewis is among the people that think it is acceptable to gain a career from the X factor, and in fact have no other musical talent than the ability to sing like every other pop/R&B star in the world. Musical talent is about more than having a nice voice.

    Lightbody's voice suits the song better regardless, alot more passion in his own words, it's his song, he should get the credit.

  • @EmilyW3007

    Explain this

    Gary Lightbody described Lewis' version of the song as "phenomenal." He told the Scottish newspaper Daily Record: "She obviously studied the song and thought long and hard about how to interpret it. She's stripped it to its bare core. I think she sounds absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a big fan of shows like The X-Factor, but when talent like this comes along, I can't slate it. She's going to be around in 20 years. She's the next Whitney. She takes my breath away."

  • @DaJokern

    Where in what I said contended that Lightbody didn't like the song? I'm aware he liked the song and I'm aware he thinks she's a great talent. I gave my own opinion, not once did I mention his.

    However, getting back to the ACTUAL context of what i wrote, If you honestly think that Leona Lewis is a greater talent than Gary Lightbody then you're just another member of the 'bieberised' nation

  • @EmilyW3007

    I just tried to tell you that Leona is much more than a nice voice.

    Its yours problem that u cant see that

  • @EmilyW3007

    Agree 100 %. Leona has a beautiful voice but the original version has so much more depth and real emotion. I think Lightbody's voice suits much better to this song.

    

  • They are both good, in my opinion snow patrols version contains more emotion but I think that Leona's contains emotion as well and that she has a better voice, but they are both brilliant versions of a brilliant song.

  • leona

  • Snow Patrol's is the best

  • They are both great! and also both 2 TOTALY different styles of music... I personaly like Leona better but thats because i love that soulfullness, Everyone has different oppinions if we didnt life wouldnt be worth living... You cant say Leona is crap or Snow Patrol because they can both sing!! even if u dont like any of them u cant deny there both talented!!! if u do then uv got problems...

  • Snow Patrol's version kinda scares me :(

  • I think Snow Patrols version is way better. Leona lewis' version is good, just sounds like the dime a dozen pop we got in the late 90's. Not a bad thing just lacks the standout sound SP had.

  • SNOW PATROL VERSION all the way!

  • both are great !!

    you cant compare them ... they have so different versions

  • yea leona crushed sp , she have beautifull voice . . she is better

  • rock and pop version!!! ^^

  • Well, Leona's version I actually have to turn off barely past the first chorus. It's SOOOOO oversung it's almost painful. She has a lovely voice no doubt but should sing beyond "ok hold this note with as much breathy sustain as you can possible manage". It's VERY 2 dimensional.

  • Snow patrol's version is better than leona's....Just listen to the voice and guitar...they sound perfect!!

  • without question snow patrol's original is better. the song the way its written is gritty and emotional therefore more suited to snow patrol. leona voice/version is more operatic and over produced with high notes, choir etc etc the songs needs that bit of edge and gravelly sound and u get that more with snow patrol. leona version sounds more like it was meant to be a movie sound track while snow patrol's has that authentic feel and production of a band who wrote the song + the video

  • I love Leona Lewis' voice. So beautiful. In this case, though, I feel the song suits Snow Patrol much more.

  • snow patrol has ma better beat to it and a better singer, the song is also more challenging because they made it up and deserve more credit. they also play instruments which requires more skill than just being on the xfactor. also snow patrol made it this far by themselves without the xfactor and deserve not to be copied.

    but i will give you one thig leona is better looking =P

    vote up for snow patrol and leonas good looks

  • Leona's version is epic!

  • @ladyYeniel So true¬!!!!!! My favourite song in the world!!!!!

  • @bleedinglove860790 its great, her voice has more power and emotion

  • @ladyYeniel Couldnt agree with you more!!! when she sang this song at the concert i was in tears for the whole thing!!!!

  • both are great in different ways.

    if i had to pick one i'd go with Leona's version.

    Her voice is much more capable of expressing the emotions of the song.

  • SNOW PATROL FTW!

  • if it wasnt for leona i wouldnt know this song

  • Both have their merits and really have a different generic placement - however, I do concede that in the grand scheme of things Snow Patrol's original is better. Leona's version is ruined by the over-the-top choir at the end; her voice alone is good enough to carry the whole song.

  • I'd love to hear a proper leona Lewis/Snow Patrol duet

  • Leona's cover is good but Snow Patrol is better!

  • @superfrickensexy and why do i have no idea about life

    she just shouldn't sing this kinda stuff i just think shes ruined it so how about u just go fuck off prick

  • I LOVE Leona Lewis's cover. But there's something about Snow Patrol's that makes it soothing in a way. Leona's make you wanna cry, Snow Patrol's can rock someone to sleep.

  • It depends on the mood which song fits the best for certain day. Today I prefer Snow Patrol.

  • They should so do a performance together, they both have their strengths, that would be amazing

  • SNOW PATROL GUITAR SOLO MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

    but Leona version is great too

  • I'm gonna say i pick Leona.I'm a huge fan of her music.matter fact i do like snow patrols version too.they both sound great

  • Snow Patrol's original version is SO MUCH BETTER than the fake Leona Lewis' pitiful attempt. She was "discovered" by Simon Cowell of American Idol fame, but I've never heard her sing anything worth listening too.

  • i really cant decide.. i listen to both versions often. it all depends on my mood that particular day.

  • Snow Patrol!!!!! :)

  • both but maybie snow patrol

  • a leona canta com mais alma do k o snow patrol. nao se pode acomparar pk as versoes sao mt diferentes! do rock(snow patrol) e do pop(leona)prefiro mil vezes a leona.... andei o ano de 2009 todo com esta musica no ouvido e na alma... realmente enche-me e preenche-me e dá-me mtas recordaçoes desse mesmo ano....obrigado leona por teres a voz k tens! :)

  • Snow Patrol ! <3

  • omg they r both so different!!!!!! i like both!!!!

  • snow patrol is rubbish... :L

    Get ready for people yelling at me now! mwha mwha x

  • Snow Patrol all the way. There is something plane and very ordinary in the Snow Patrol version that makes it familiar and you can believe in the story telling. I would agree Leona is an amazing vocalist but she could do that to any song it doesn’t mean anything.  The first time I heard the snow patrol song I was moved, Leona’s does nothing to me.

  • I think the Snow Patrol's version is better.

  • tbh snowpatrol, like oasis-stop crying your heart out, sound like they cant sing in tune. makes u wonder how they go signed in the first place.

  • snow patrol all the way babii

  • Leona totally capture the emotion of the song! I like them both, but I love Leona's!

  • Leona is better ..... far away!!!

  • Different artistes different versions. For me its Leona - sounds sweeter.

  • Snow patrol did better in my opinion but leona DEFINATELY gave them a run for their money

  • look seriously.. everyone shut up.. leona and snow patrol are both FANTASTIC artists who are far too different to compare. snow patrol obviously wrote the song.. so they know the true meaning.. and they obviously have all the meaning behind the song.

    but leona... its not her song... and everyone here can't debate more than often cover's arent as good as the original... however! i think she did a fantastic job and shouldn't be slated for it..

    face it.. they're both good versions.

  • I don't think anyone should be that bias as to say that no one else should sing this song but Snow Patrol if they are happy with her cover then you should be too. I love both versions but just as I love both versions I love them for different reasons, Leona makes it her own just as she does to most songs she covers she keeps the same beat and tempo but she makes it LEONA she brings her own emotional connection to it and just makes it her own.

  • I think Leona's the best one of them :)

  • wat the fuk is this its outta key n tune hahahahaha

  • Leona is the best i love her version , i didn't like his version it's boring =/

  • I'd have to go with Leona's. Snow Patrol's original version is really good, it's dark and gritty....but leona's is very emotional...it gave me chills!!!

  • snow patrol... DUH!

    leona sucks and needs to go away.

  • Sorry, but Leona is not able to hold a candle to Snow Patrol although her voice is great. "Run" shouldn't be sung by anyone else than SP....

  • @Ina3680 absolutely spot on!!

  • @Ina3680 no way..so not true. Vocally, Snow Partol cannot even compare to Leona! She made this song ten times better, i saw Leona in concert, everyone sang along and she sounded stunning! Snow Patrols didnt get No.1 Leona did! Leona is a far better singer than anyone else on the planet!

  • @TheLCT1000

    One song, two different versions, thousand different opinions. I think that's OK, isn't it? RUN by Snow Patrol has a very special meaning to me and that's why I really love and prefer their version. Nevertheless I agree that Leona's voice is great.

  • @Ina3680 totally agree

  • leona lewis may have more emotion but it doesnt mean she sings it better! SNOW PATROL WINS!!!!!

  • Leona Lewis ! ! The song has more emotion when she sings it. Snow Patrol makes it sound so boring.

  • Leona is much better not only vocally but also with the emotions in the song. Snow Patrols' version is definitely NOT better than Leona's. If the case were that Snow Patrols' version was better then they would have had more views on YouTube considering the fact that they have been around for much longer.

  • Leona Lewis version make more emotion, <3

    But i love Snow Patrol!

  • Leona Lewis should never have covered this song - her cover's a musical travesty: it adds nothing to the original, doesn't take it anywhere new & is vastly inferior to the original Snow Patrol version.

  • @jamesleez no, thats a bunch of rubbish! Leona made this song what it is today! Her version is, by far greater than Snow Patrols, she turned it into a haunting ballad that can compete against Mariah and Whitney! Leona got to no.1 SP Didnt! Leonas is vocally amazing! i saw her in concert and she was, as usual, amazing!

  • Depressing.... you end up crying when you hear Leona's version, smiling and dancing when you hear Snow Patrol's. And the chorus is supposed to be HUGE, she's just made it boring...

    I fucking hate that everybody thinks that Snow Patrol covered this song, and that Leona sang the original. Who does she think she is? Thinks she's so great. She should fucking get some personality and not sing such depressing songs all the time. A DJ recently said 'Oh cheer up Leona, stop being so depressed!' HA!

  • @kTkun11 I like Leona's version better. She has a lot more feeling in hers. Are you so dumb that you have no idea how the music world works? Someone else wrote this song and sold it to both of these singers. Lyrics only with out the copyright. Or Snow patrol wrote it and sold it to Leona. If not there would be a law suit. Read up on your Snow Patrol He even liked Leona's version. It is the public making such a stink. I don't hear these two great singers fighting over this dumb issue. Grow up!

  • +Leona

  • Leona Lewis make more emotion

  • OMG! thank you whoever posted this video because i have to do a report on comparing these songs and you have the info box helped me ALOT! :P

  • lol! I hope you got an A+!

  • Just checked it, and yes, she can sing this pure too. But I still prefer Snow Patrol over her.

  • glad you enjoyed my comment x]

  • btw , mr. wtvr ur name is , its ur problem if ur a sex slave , go worship ur stupid goddess alone , and leave normal people alone , freak!

  • get a life

  • you cannot compera this because:

    1.snow patrol is the owner of this song.

    2.snow patrol is not a vocalist group.

    if u compere leona to a vocalist she should win by A mile

  • Snow Patrol, no contest! :)

  • Snow Patrol, but it shouldent be a conquest.

  • both!!!

  • Definetely snow patrol, all you who said leona lewis are clueless

  • I vote Leona Lewis!! She is the best!

  • snow patrol ! are u kiddin me ? leona should cut her big nose and stop ratteling the cages

  • this was shit, fading in n out from one to the other doesnt work.

    shoulda got the acapella or something.

  • I think it shouldn't be a contest.

    The way they sing the song and the way they each interpret it is so different  that the only thing they really have that makes people argue is the words.

    both of their versions are beautiful and brings so many emotions.

  • snow patrol- it wasnt really made for leona lol

  • Leona - definitely

  • The full version of Run sung by Snow Patrol is the best version of the song (in my opinion), it may also be known as the extended version, it lasts about 6 minutes, but its one of the best songs ever!

  • Well that failmed epicly cause they're singing in comletely different keys Lol, but under the circumstances, good job (Y) And btw, Snow Patrol all the way.

  • Yes.

  • errr thats an easy one...LEONA obviously...have u ever heard a voice as good as that...u rock Leona :D

  • There are no words to describe how much I love this song, both versions. It is epic

  • Nothing can beat the original. Leona sings this so well though. Like both.

  • Leona by a country mile

  • snow patrol =)

  • there is no contest --snow patrol

  • SNOW PATROL !!!

  • Snow Patroℓ . ♥

  • Snow Patrol. I like Leona's version too but you cant beat an original!!

  • Leona :)

  • leona's version is pop...

    snow patrol is much better than leona!

  • rofl is this a joke.......snow patrol.....no competition

  • LEONA!!!!!!!!!

  • Snow Patrol FTW

  • Snow Patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Snow Patrol :)

  • Leona Lewis

  • I like Snow Patrol's version more, more emotion and meaning as others have said. Leona's just sounds really samey, like any other diva song. =/

  • Her version is pretty, but I just love his voice, I prefer Snow Patrol's version, I think their version has more meaning behind it, while hers is sweet and pretty, and she has a great voice, it's still just a cover, true emotion comes from the writers, Snow Patrol rocks!

  • LOL The way Snow Patrol Fans get all emotional because they really and truely know Leona Sings RUN so much Better...I mean Shes One of the world best ! however snow Patrol...

  • leona looks abit like drogba

  • From what I can tell it's two people who are in love, but have to part for some reason, even though they can't bear to be apart.

  • Snow Patrol by a mile. There is raw emotion in their song. Lewis' version is just too slick and directed....it just takes something away from it for me. I find it a bit too...flourishy. The Snow Patrol Version seems more real to me.

  • lEONA lEWIS HAS TO WIN... A LOT BETTER...

  • Snow patrol.

  • that's kind of an echo like sound when the snow patrol guy sings "light up light up" and an intensity, even though leona has a much more powerful voice, him singing it hits me harder, though i love the choir in leona's version, snow patrols just means more to me

  • her version is damn beatiful, but this dont go out to this it goes out to all covers: You can play it, maybe you can do it better but remember one thing: YOU CANT CREATE IT!

  • snow patrols version is so much better than leona's

    she just shouldn't sing this kinda stuff

  • I prefer Snow Patrols version. Leona's version is also great, but you can hear that it's just perfectly produced and mixed. And I like the pureness of Snow Patrol

  • i agree, it feels more real even though leona has the stronger voice, the snow patrol version is more emotive for me.

  • That song is very good but the girls from Popstars are better.

  • Snow Patrol without a seconds hesitation. Leona has a good voice and all, but no beating Snow Patrol in there element.

  • can't pick... love them both!!!!

  • Has anyone noticed that Leona's video is sorta copying Snow Patrol's as well minus the flares?

  • Hahaha, i like snow patrols version way more. The music in their song gives me shivers, leona lewis only gives me a feeling like : stop.

  • both good though well done snow patrol for doing it

  • leona shouldv left this beautiful song alone, you cant make a perfect song better! SNOW PATROL!!

  • leona lewis is soo good but is better the version snow patrol :D

  • love both versions!!!x

  • Sry but snow patrol's version is much better...i mean Leona has a good voice but just don't think it suits that song.

  • No question about it... SNOW PAROL!

  • snow patrol, The speed of the song is better, and the tone to his voice is great, SNOW PATROL ALL THE WAY,,x

  • You know what they are both equally fantastic and just cos there different interpretations of the song dosnt make either less amazing...love both of you :D xxx

  • Leona has completely ruined this beautiful song...........YOU COW....D'YA HEAR ME ......YOU HAVE RUINED IT AND YOU SHOULD BE SHOT... WITH YOUR WHINY, ANNOYING CATERWAULING....hang the witch..

  • wtf! Leona is Amazin and anyone who says otherwise is deaf! you complete twat you need help!!!! They are both good versions I personally prefer Leona's wot u goin to do bout that shoot me too!!!!! u pathetic loser! I feel sorry for you !! you took it too far!

  • NO NO NO Leona steals peoples music! This is snowpatrols Leona just shouldnt sing songs like this it dont suite her what so ever snowpatrol have made made it there song!

  • she didn't steal it she sang it in the live lounge and you HAVE to sing someone elses song in the live lounge! It was so well recieved the record label asked SP if she could release it as a single!

  • You complete ignoramus.....it was said with sarcastic undertones....you are obviously mentally challenged and cannot comprehend the concept of com ical satire. ....and I wouldn't want to even attempt to end your futile existence, as the impending implosion of your brain cell on reading words which consist of more than one syllable will suffice.

  • it is still a stupid thing to say! I am not mentaly challenged! I am perfectly normal . You on the other hand are a 32 year old who spends their lonley time on youtube! I pitty ur sad ass!!

  • Sorry but I do know what your talking about.. Im saying she does not deserve all the credit for the song.  snowpatrols version is way better

  • snow patrol leona 1 is poo

  • snow patrol have it hands down, song wasnt meant to be girlified, its a chilled out song not a lets all hug song

  • snow patrol put no effort into it, people these days seem to put more effort into shitting then they have with the song. its original yeah, but can be improved which it has done. their version dont make you wanna do hand grabs n' shit. lol

  • I dont know but I feel really chilled out relaxed when I listen to this

  • snow patrol caNT SAY COPPIERS BETTER!

  • snow patrol.

  • Snow Patrol!!!

    so much more feeling when they do it! way more emotion in there one :D

  • Comment removed

  • Snow Patrols is 100x better hands down. just got the better voice for it! And its original.

  • I like the Leona Lewis version, but not as much as the original. Definitely Snow Patrol
