Not sure not being able to hit the notes in a song makes him a cunt... i have to disagree anyway- he put his own twist on the song and he makes it work. Just my opinion
if you take a step back and think about it.... James blunt is one of the few I can think of which has the voice to do a good cover of this song. believe me. I hate his songs, but it is true
I think you all are being a little hard on James. Frank is not an easy act to follow. I appreciate anyone who sees the beauty of this song. Ask yourself.....can you do better?
Why do these 'pop' artists insist on using great songs and dulling them down. There's this, Leona Lewis' version of Run by Snow Patrol and All Saints murdering Under The Bridge.
I am however a fan of Placebo's live effort with this song.
sorry lads and lassies but get over yourselves yeah. for a start, the pixies sign off on al there song's being covered, they have total control over there back catalogue, and if you think the placebo version of this tune is awful why the hell did frank black perform it on stage with placebo in france. i'm guessing he is cool with them doing a cover of the song and who the f$&k are we to disagree
i normally dont like him but i think he wasnt that bad, although i wouldnt listen to it a scond time as long as there is the original version!! dont hate, just listen the version you like best and stfu.....
THIS ROCKS Just as GOood as original to me...I love James Blunt...great voice and very talented...what do people expect, he's going to put his twist on it, or else he'd be a copy cat
to all the people bashing this version and James Blunt... what did you expect!? he most certaintly wasn't gonna make a better version of the original song... thats a musical impossibility (and that goes to all cover songs)... you should take the fact that he is a big fan of The Pixies... and that this is just a tribute to them, by making HIS own version of THEIR song... may not be as good... but i liked the effort lol... xD
PS: I am a fan of BOTH The Pixies and James Blunt xD
the first 13seconds were good, then, there was no explosion into the actual song. then, when this noob actually attempted to sing the song, my world died. sorry, but this sucked balls
Fuck you, James Blunt. Leave the music to the REAL performers you piece of shit. I understand why you want to copy, though. You cannot write your own fucking songs with any sort of success.
whoa whoa calm down man! I think he's shite but let's face it he likes a damn good song. Also he does a better cover than 90% of the people I've seen. including fucking placebo.
never thought I'd have to stick up for james blunt...
oh i know.. but james's blunts voice is capeable of holding the song on its own. if he removed it he could more or less turn the song into his own, instead of just being a cover.
He's COPYING A SONG! Come on people! What's so great about that? Why should this be applauded? Shouldn't we just listen to The REAL artists who actually WROTE this song??????The Pixies were a very talented, original, and ground-breaking group. James Blount is a RIP OFF with NO TALENT!
Dont really care for james blunt but at least he has good taste in music. This is actually a decent cover but alot of people will say it sucks because james blunt is singing it lol.
I'm not a fan of exact copy covers, but this cover especially doesn't work. Blunt wrote "you're beautiful," Black Francis wrote "she's like jelly roll, like sculpture." Blunt's head just isn't in the right place. Plus, this guitarist just can't touch Joey Santiago!
god jjjjjjjb blunt....... not a HUFW fan of the pixis.. but godamn, nice try.. let's keep it re3al n hgodnnnnmmmmm wtfever... (brought to you by booozzz) seriously... if u like the song /search pixies and keep it on thdl
Can someone give me a reason as to how he killed the song? I think he did well for his COVER. Key word being cover in that he can do anything he wants to.
I have to agree, he pretty much changed the feel of the song with over-exaggerated vocals/accent(even if tho* he's british), and the major bridge around 2:18, aweful, unfortunately, although not entirely unexpected
half the audience didnt know that wasnt there song, so horrible to make a good band sound bad. the only good thing about this guy is his last name is blunt
It's a cover you r-tard. If it was exactly the same as the original - THEN It would have sucked. But when they're making their own version of the song it can sometimes be good as hell. Even if the original is better. For those who like this slow-fag-music - this is good. But for those who like faster - Pixies is better. Both do the song good
Blunt is a shit musician. He butchered the song, or rather, bludgeoned it to death. He should cover Humperdinck or something safe to satisfy his whole limp-wristed band.
i'm not really a fan of james blunt. nothing beats the original version by the pixies but this rendition isn't that bad (except for the wailing guy on the background). i give it a clap.
Yea i really want to put fancy words into my comment as well so i can get that feeling that i achieved something today.
So i can go home to my misserable life and hopefully it wont feel so misserable..
