David Bowie Across The Universe

[porsimepierdo]

Bowie has a great carrer but I´m sorry this is the worst cover of the Beatles, I prefeer thousand of times the Scorpions´ version

[Ragazzabrivido]

@SugarBean915 I'm a fan of the Beatles and Lennon, so I did not know what to expect from the cover of Bowie, I thought that sounded like the Beatles ... I repeat, I really liked the cover of Elton John, because it is delicate, as the words of the text, but this ... is how to sing the song of the Beatles - Michelle, Metallica ... The words and rhythm do not blend ... however is always nice to know the opinion of other people ... =) But I have no objection to Metallica ... not my kind of music ...

[Ragazzabrivido]

I do not like this song ... Bowie tries to do the hard, singing a sweet song with a beautiful meaning ... not so with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, made​later by singing Elton John ... Him, although he changed the rhythm, the song remains the one, and is also wonderful ... I thought it was the same with Across The Universe ... I was wrong ... However, I expressed my opinion, no I do not contest your opinion ... =) Bye

[SugarBean915]

@Ragazzabrivido It does sound a bit like Bowie is trying too hard, but that is just the way he sings. It's his typical sound, I like it, but others who are expecting the Lennon sound may think differently :D

[rockandrollomnibus]

Lennon not only contributed guitar and vocals, but said later that he much preferred this version to his own.

[Curefred]

YOU just have to absolutely ***love*** David Bowie he is most definitively the definition of rock n' roll

[dobie42a]

How are you even real.

[iabrochium]

Oh my God. I want to marry David Bowie's voice.

[HuntertheHacker]

I think John Lennon was part of this version (along with "Fame")

[Devgru77]

I think Bowie's version is better than the Beatle's version. It has more soul and personality.

[AdhirKalyan123]

Its crazy how versatile how Bowies voice is. Compare this with space oddity.

[YorkistWhiteRose]

For years I thought the line was "Birds are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup." The real line makes a lot more sense.

[ferdinandsouz]

Oh my God, Bowie is definitely the King Midas: everything he touches turns to gold.

[Kanarie1973]

Huge Bowiefan, but I think this disrupts the soul vibe on Young Americans.

[gzgretsch]

the original is better

[Chroposnos]

I don't know if this version is better or worse than the Beatles one. But I liked it a lot!

[tahi1]

ohhhh my god!!! he is great!! put with his voice a little of dramaturg's particles!!!

[THEprincessFirefly]

very nicely done, but the beatles do it best.

[Bowieschlampe]

Great song, great version.

[carlphone]

CRAP

[theoboogie2]

this is pretty good i like lennon's version better though

[PayNoAttentiontoCaes]

Whoa, he sounded a bit like Tom Waits at the beginning...scared me a lil bit...

[sonicsteev]

nothin will change my world, expect U

[mattalexxyt]

I like Lennon's original version way more.

[stratdoc]

To me this song just doesn't fit Bowie...he is trying way to hard. This is a kind of meditation and Bowie is making it a proclamation! Maybe I just like the spirit of Johns version too much but to this was a do over..

[coopercity1]

OMG no one does this song better.. only Lennon does it better... i get chills when i hear this song..

[mariofarecraft2]

I'm still trying to figure out if I like this version or The Beatles' version (the Wildlife version, not Phil Spector's version).

[carlphone]

@mariofarecraft2 Does not matter, becoz I think it ain t a great song, is it?

[StrawberryJungle]

My favourite ever version of this song. I adore Bowie!

[disturbedfan211]

I still like the Beatles version better but nevertheless this song is gold

[Jawa115]

@disturbedfan211 John Lennon does lead guitar and backing vocals on this ya know

[Marshallsg]

@Jawa115 Well John actually does rhythm. He said that in an interview.

[Jawa115]

@Marshallsg That does make sense, since thats what he did with the Beatles.



[TheBlackQueen1974]

I love this version David Bowie rules.
