Viva La Vida by Solange (Coldplay Cover)

[musiq4dasoul82]

I knew Solange could pull this song off. People who little about her don;t know how talented she is. Not only can she sing, she has written and produced music for other people. Although her sister might be more popular, I think Solange is definitely the more talented of the two.

[h879xx]

WHO?



[DesperatelySeekingAz]

Her dancing doesn't bother me, but it's undeniably strange.

[diegooneal]

01:22 e 01:23 = It's a Beyoncé Cover Baby.

[diegooneal]

Cover da Beyoncé. A rosto, os olhos...até as firulas quando canta. Realmente ela se parece muito.

-

=O...Cover of Beyonce. The face, eyes ... until the effects and tone when he sings. Actually it looks a lot.

[Makoons9]

wtf is she doing with her hands?

[Matriix92]

4:23 - 4:25 she looks exactly like her sister beyonce

[100592j]

solange is fuckin smashing this song..i loved it before, now im obsessed

[babymakerslovesex]

I was ready to not like it but I do. Its really good and she actually look normal for once. When I say that I mean no ridiculous oufits.

[msMSB96]

This version is so awesome.Even though i like the original version, this one is better.

[ashleycallhowucit]

this was real good am never been too fund of salange I didnt think she could pull this off... I thought only beyonce would

[Dragon03]

WOW...this was great

[ginoboo]

Great job with the song. Love the dancing trannies as well.

[ButterflyGirl4u]

she did a great job performing and i dont even know the song she makes me wanna go up it up

[aphilllips]

Wooow!!! Those aren't the words!!

[naiveaddictionz]

LOVEEE THIS!! I don't even care for Solange but she is really coming into her own.. GOOD JOB,

[scotty2hottyinit]

i personaliy love how solonge gets into it you can feel how passionet she is about mizic she is so verrrrrrrrrrrrry tallnted i love her <3

[moiseschild]

aMEIIIII SOL ARRAZOU

[naiveaddictionz]

She did an outstanding job. Love solange.well her voice.

[jhion03]

I like it... :)

[AcHtErBaHn871]

umm... she has a beautiful voice but it ABSOLUTELY dont fit the song ... shes more of a rnb singer

[reziboy100]

@AcHtErBaHn871 really? you think so? I thought it went well. I like when variety...For example when an rnb type singer like her sings a song like that.

[supermanjersey]

her pitch is not appropriate with the musical arrangement. she could've just sang thru piano or guitar only with her pitch.

[MikroBadass]

@supermanjersey yeah it would've been nicer if she hadn't been autotuned either.. :/

[virgoron]

She and her sister speak and act similar 0:05-0:25

[reziboy100]

@virgoron it's true.

[5757gaby]

:) linda !

[AileenMulemba]

i think its beautiful.she has a great voice and it really fits to the song.

[fafababy20]

Whoever has something bad to say about this is completely rdiculous & a hater. For one this isn't a competition on who's version is better. All she's doing is covering a song that she has great interest in. Secondly her dancing & singing is just fine. She's taking the song & incorporating her own style .She marching to her own drum without destroying the song. Solange is a wonderful singer . HOP OFF HER DiCK :)

[illnelnel]

this is my song... gosh solange looks so much like her sister. she did great

[qu3en8]

Don't dance just sing

[SAM135073]

is this an instruction video on how not to play it

[screwedup007]

fail. plus she's moving weird. the sound quality sounds like it was made with a cassette player. fail

[ItsMARCOdude]

@screwedup007 its called feeling the damn music. is she supposed to jus tap her foot??? shake my head at the fucking haters.... appreciate it, leave love, or nothing at all

[MeaghanThew]

this is a fail...coldplay's version 1000 times better

[ItsMARCOdude]

@MeaghanThew what a fucking hater. its a cover. you obviously dont understand that she put an r&b twist on it. become someone who appreciates all forms of music. seriously. your quick judgement disgusts me

[chriscyrus09]

shes the best i love her!!!!

[bummefaster]

wow just wow amzingly tallented

lol i love solange tho her dancing is funny

<3

[sojoy89]

i know! I kinda like hers better than the original although I love coldplay too :]

[naiveaddictionz]

Thumbs up if you KNOW Beyonce disliked this.. haha

[momo104momo104]

@naiveaddictionz

shame no ones liking ur status ..

u hater loser homoface haha

[stevens0201]

We like you as Beyonce's Sister better!!!!!!

[stevens0201]

Horrible x's a Million !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PingPongBlokje]

the backing on the left annoyes me !!!!

[NeptuneSeaking]

I swear, somehow solange manages to dance exactly as the person in the original video (don't know his name)

[09stims]

you mean chris martin from coldplay?

[09stims]

she sounds great but her dancing kind of scares me

[NeptuneSeaking]

yes, she looks like a drunk rihanna dancing to disturbia

[JonnyRev15]

I agree

[rlwo]

i love this song

[jreneesashay]

i think she did a great job art is seen in the artists eyes the way i paint the mona lisa may not be the same as the way another artist would paint it she sang it with her own personal flair. both versions are wonderful i love this thanks for posting!

[SisterOfTheAgiel]

For the 3rd listening it's better than the original. Actually i can't stop listening to it. And why is say this better is because i like her voice more, for me it's more powerful. But i can absolutely understand if you feel she ruined it... Not for me anyhow

[aqeb2000]

wtf!...she sings like retartd looney bitch!

[EthoThug]

Dam she has pre3ty eyes bro 0:51

[rockkandie]

you can buy the lashes at the store for $5.99.

[EthoThug]

She still look good though

[EthoThug]

I think she killed that bro

[M946]

She's definitely NOT worth the hype! That flat performance wouldn't even get a 2nd look if she wasn't Beyonce's pretty little sister. (Except for laughing at her ridiculous dancing.) Solange won't be the first or the last female performer who exploits her good looks as an excuse to give such a mediocre singing performance. Feh! At least now I know her name (which before I only heard of) is not worth my time to listen to again.

[TheRedScareIsAlive]

She's a Bjork and Radiohead fan!!!... I prefer her over Beyonce

[go4erfun]

i like the original better, but i don't think it's bad. aside from the weird dance, I like it. i luv the song no matter what so I may be prejudiced.

I have to disagree w/ ppl who say the original can't be touched. it's not like chris martin is some amazing vocalist who'se version can't be beat. he's an amazing artist but he isn't exactly freddie mercury or even axl rose when it comes to singing.

[itsciarababy]

she sounds grand shes defintely unique and does things in her own way love it

[sioweelin]

pillars of sand and pillars of sand. hahahaha. she slipped.

[FantasticBoObLeS]

coldplay is better but she did good.

[coldplayismyhero]

coldplay is fucking genius.. whoever tries to cover them (like this slut) sucks worst than shit!!

[hostalmalure]

You can suck a dick and die for calling her a slut

[BOSSYM1SS85]

I love her version of the song,she is completely comfortable with her voice and her syle she doesn't discriminate against good music

[empathboy]

wait a minute?

she looks like beyonce who is she?

[okito95]

beyonce's sister solange knowles

[empathboy]

oh thx i didn't know that Bee got a sister lol xD

[kobacha]

LOL

hahahah thats funny

[countquackula]

oooh coldplay stole the instrumental

[mistabigg007]

OMG NO! I wasnt feelin it

[griffinjd]

solange definitely grows on you!

shes come a long way from her first album. and has a quirky feel - and there's nothing wrong with that!

kudos to solange

[Lo098765]

This was a great cover. Her album is crazy too. I love Solange! Because she is so different and she's not trying be anyone but Solange. Yes Girl Yes!!

[MAthaPimp]

I AGREE!! i love it not better the the Coldplay but different and the HOTT!!!

[chettahchick]

I love SOLANGE!!!!!!!! She did a good job!!!!

[javiermami]

omg i really dislike this she fucked up coldplay song

[MarcoRocksPolos]

your in title to your opinion but solange as an artist is brilliant., shes written her sister songs.

[cristina2393]

america is a continent not a country!!!!

[gevthomas08]

the americas are continents, but america, as in the the united states of, is actually a country

[enajevon]

I like the coldplay version but Solange gave the song a little bit more soul.

[shouranpotter]

I love her but she sounds worse than an American Idol reject in this song.

[javiermami]

yes she does she's trying to sound like her sister i really don't like neither one of them.

[hostalmalure]

Bitch kill yoself....in no way is she trying to sound lke B, you too busy tryna comare them in your damn head....let her do her thing....damn

[javiermami]

LMAO you're dumb do you even know who made this song LMAO it sounds better than hers and yes she is trying to sound like her sister i have a right to my opinion pinche puto.

[hostalmalure]

Was that suppose to be a racial comment! Yes i know who made the original song you fuckin dumb as bitch...now go complain about how you cant find a good black man with yo ugly ass....kudos how

[javiermami]

no shit sherlock LMAO

[hostalmalure]

and secondly, she was performing a cover of the song not doing a competition, get ur head out of ur ass

[javiermami]

ur getting so angry LMAO because of my opinion LMAO wow i see why ppl enjoy people get so worked up about nothing LMAO a racist comment how could it be racist i'm the same color as you dumbass LMAO

[MAthaPimp]

LOVE PEACE AND SOUL

[hostalmalure]

Bitch suck a dick and die.....and we will leave it at that :-) Good Day.

[truestare1]

I love love love her but I love coldplay version

[LuLuEz88]

I have nothing against Solange, I really do love her. But Chris Martin was born for this song, she made the whole thing sounded a tad bit fake.. Like, the meaning to it was somehow lost. Hmm.

[Mehrunissah93]

I heard the original. It's horrible. Solange makes this song worth listening to.

[ganyadus]

You sir are Stupid....

[Mehrunissah93]

You mean ma'am, and the original is lifeless and boring. They were dull and had no emotion. Solange puts that into her version.

[UTube327]

She Sucks

[pathfindernumber22]

she can sing it better than coldplay!! so all the haters can shut they mouths and open dey ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[muffinlymuffinhood]

I think she was trying to crescendo, that's why it was quiet in the beginning, so it could get gradually louder.

[peacereaper24601]

First of all, she said she loves the energy that this song has. Part of Chris Martin's energy comes from his movements. If you ever see the guy live, it's amazing. But I don't even know what this little girl thinks she's doing with her wierd dances near the beginning. The entire band looks like they're dead.

Second, why the hell does she have to change the lyrics? She took out "pillars of salt." I don't think she realizes that the symbolism that the lyrics offer adds so much more to the song.

[Bogusgal]

Her opening, "I use to rule the world," does not sound like she use to rule the world; it sounds weak. Sure she is a female but I know it can be just as a powerful opening.

What is the flickering effect that she made the mike do with her voice? IS sounds really horrible.

Good Comments: I wished that this was the type of music "blacks" are most famous for here in Asia because I feel better being called Luther Vandross than Akon or Snoop Dog or Nigger!!! Shot!!

[DelvinJordan15]

Solange killed that song. I think it should've been her song. I love solange and beyonce. Anybody with me on that one and some of yall are some racist people.

[gregorymoran]

this sucks

[joijoi52]

i think she did really gud honestly......

[brizeydacastillo]

she fucken killed this song,,

this song should have never been redone

LEAVE IT TO COLD PLAY

thats why they sing it!!

[holyboy27]

ur... i prefer coldplay's version but i don mind solange's. Her voice is unsuited to sing the song how chris martin sang it.

[clarinut07]

oh gracious. she does have a good voice, that's true, but... just noooooo. coldplay should be sung by coldplay. she did do an excellent job mimicking chris martin's terrible dancing from their video, though. ^_^

[devon3488]

if the bitch wanna sing coldplay and she sound good get of her tip she did well i slightly like this one better cause you relly hear what the song is talking about

[Ju280494]

i prefer the original version though i think she did well

[LTgreene17]

great cover

:)

[jordantresvante]

i loved this song.. but

solange made me feel it.

i fall deeper in love with her every

moment she shines

(c.d in stores now!! :) )

[hunneybuns09904]

i didnt even know the song until i heard solange do it...i love the music....i think she did good.....

[101converse]

i think she did wonderful no matter if its her style or not

[kicka14]

I agree..i like when people infuse diff styles..Her voice actually flowed well over this track!

[trahouston]

motherfucker's profile says he's 23.

[Cinnaminbeauty]

I love this song! I never even paid attention to it before she sung it! So she gave coldplay some play (no pun intended). She sounds really good too! Do your thing Solange. And your family is mad blessed yall have so much talent. Beauty, singing, designing enjoy and always try to bring the same light in other peoples lives.

[03veritas]

great cover

[bastiboy422]

i think there's a reason why coldplay won, for this song...this piece of crap just sucks big time!sorry but this girl's "artistic" touches to the song is just waaaaay too distracting!! get a life solange

[Fillipinoskater]

nope, she should stick to that r and b shit, coldplay should not be covered by any kind of hip hop/rap/r&b artist.

she made a wrong move covering this song.

coldplay is probably the best modern band, that isn't overrated, and she just killed one of their greatest songs.

go ahead and spam me!

[SuperFlyGT]

Funny that you mention no one should cover Coldplay since they plagiarized Joe Satrianis If I Could Fly. Greatest modern band? I wouldnt go that far. Although Im not a fan, some could make an argument for Radiohead.

I really enjoyed this cover. It sounds better and better every listen through.

Solanges looks and voice, now that she is older, reminds me a bit of Aaliyah.

And might I add, Solange is one sexy MILF.

[trahouston]

damn, somebody has obvious racial issues! Get over yourself, music is music.

[trahouston]

Dude, you're funny! First white people take rock from blacks after demonizing us for creating it for years and now a fillipino skater is taking skating from white people. The infinite cycle continues. How about you create something original and I don't mean recycling rock and roll with a painted white face. "coldplay shouldn't be covered by any kind of hip hop rap r&b shit"? Anyway Green Day and the smashing pumpkins rock harder than coldplay.

[trahouston]

So basically you're saying that the predominately black genres which you listed should not have the "honor" of covering a cold play song? As superflyGt stated cold play has covered Joe Satrianis If I Could Fly. Are they to held up the same standard or is it just hip hop/rap/r&b artists? If you knew anything about music history you would know that the greatest singers have always covered people within and out of their genre. Cold play is not holier than thou fillipinoskater.

[Fillipinoskater]

i knew i shouldn't have put a bad comment about this video, cause now i have to hear a bunch of bullshit about how i'm racist, just because i didn't like that cover and i said that hip hop/r&b artists shouldn't cover coldplay. i like how you pull the racist card, i'm allowed to share my opinion on youtube, if you didn't like it, you should have spammed it. i don't care what singers in the past did. also, greenday is shit.

[trahouston]

Your generation is shit, you have no right to disrespect great artists of the past; that just shows how young and ignorant you really are. You obviously believe yourself to be white b/c you never hear minorities talking about pulling the race card. No matter how hard you skate and how much guitar you play you are still fillipino. I have many filipino friend and we call people like you bananas, you know white on the inside and yellow on the out. sellout!

[Fillipinoskater]

i don't think i'm white you fucking piece of shit. your sitting here a fucking 27 year old, arguing with a 16 year old. grow up fucker and don't try and contradict about being racist and shit, fuck off. i'm a minority how can i be racist. i'm not fucking arguing about some bullshit anymore. your not filipino! dumb cunt.

i'm not responding to anymore of your shit.

fuck off

[Modeltypin]

ummm are u white? if not then why are you saying hip hop shouldn't do covers to cold play? i mean 4 real cause asian is closer to being black than it is white.

[Fillipinoskater]

asian and white.

its not a racism thing.

i just don't think they should.

no offense to solange.

[Modeltypin]

Ok so you feel that white people should not do R&B then? Its only fair to say the same of them. But my opinion is you can't be a stereotype you have to be yourself I love rock and R&B as well as almost everything else and will sing it all eventually. but you are young you will learn as you grow.

[Fillipinoskater]

nope i don't think r&b artists should, not black and white.

its totally not racism.

[Modeltypin]

Also what do you think of Wicked Wisedom? Jada Pinkett Smith's band?

[Fillipinoskater]

its not my style of music, but they have an okay sound.

[Mehrunissah93]

Not they're not. Latinos, yes, but not Asians. Anyway, the world his not only Black and White. Solange isn't hip hop; she's soul.

[Modeltypin]

What are you commenting on i'm not understanding?

[Mehrunissah93]

My comment was to when you said Asians are closer to Black than White.

[Modeltypin]

They are they are considered of color just like mexicans and latinos are considered we are all minorities

[Mehrunissah93]

True, but that doesn't make you Black. America is the only country that fights so hard for separation by skin color, instead of the country you were born in.

[javiermami]

i agree thx for saying that!

[Mehrunissah93]

You're welcome. Someone had to let others know. LOL.

[MzCarver]

I LOVE this i had kinda forgotten how talented solange was.. but she really is incredable i suppose having Beyonce as a sister will allways keep her back because she will allways fail by comparrison but my god does this girl have talent! x

[AriChulita]

I agree that it started off a it dry...but she has a great voice and personality. I really liked her cover of this song...it's one of my favs :D

[laKeishaMichelle]

yea started off dry

her persona takes getting used to

but i like wen she went into adding her own ab libs!

[meganmrozek]

it started off a little slow.

But I actually like it.

She has an original cover of it.

[thepuregod12]

Well...i don't like it this song doesn't seem to suit her to me. She just sounds bad to me in this.

[sirsniffy]

I don't care for her backup singers. I think she should just sing alone.

[sedargo77]

me too

[ronaiahhh]

i kinda like it!! she got alot better! good job solange...u sound more like beyonce which isnt a bad thing at all =)

[esVERLETZT]

i love the music! is this song related to christianity? cuz i can hear "jerusalem" and "roman cavalry"...

[caitlinmercers]

she's better!

[azmanhakim]

she and the girls should start a group..lol

nice!

[dancerguy4life]

i like it actually lol. she made it her own. shes not trying to sound likee the original. lol. its a cover lol. She did an awesome job. :)

[sauvecards]

pretty bad, really bad actually. the stupid dance at 2:08 really sets this turd off.

[omfgxdonutz]

I agree...

[brothadude]

She's  not bad

[BloodN3ss]

not bad, but  not really fit for her voice , it actually makes it sound like karaoke...sorry

[edzz]

Likin' it likin' it! :)

[zeev3o]

OMG!

[phoenixhuynhp3]

I LIKE IT!

[Coldzeke]

SHIT
