  • great song

    

  • she sounds a little off. i love her but she sounds bad here, ngl.

  • her voice doesnt fit the song at all .... i sounds so wrong -.-

  • This is one Canadian that can actually sing.

  • she totally ruined it

  • i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooove it so much <3333333

  • I Love Coldplay and Avril Lavigne ♥

  • You're good, Avril.

    But you're no original.

    (oh look up "Back to the Start" here on youtube. the video was a clay-mation and totally made me laugh and cry)

  • RUINED IT

  • Avril Lavigne.

    You're the best your voice is beautiful

  • she fuckin' ruined a beautiful song!!!she cant sing! how dare she covered a coldplay song?!? fuck off

  • avril lavinge roxkz!!

  • I don't think it's bad. She sang a Coldplay song and made it hers. >_> That's the point of covers.

  • I'm scarred. I don't think I can listen to the original without hearing her monotonous, boring, nasal voice in my head.

  • Evan is in the FRIENDZONE!!!!!! Forever!

  • Evan ist mein bester Freund. C: aw

  • She sings it GREATLY ! xoxo

  • hello avril lavigne I respect you know you're the best singer hello by marychia0011

  • "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?!?"

    -- Simon Cowell

  • this is NOT for evan. this is a cover she made for the song because she loves it. coldplay orginally sang it. stop making it seem like they are sending signals to each other -.-

  • I love this version :D

  • I never pictured Avril as a Coldplay fan...

  • You guys don't know how to add a little twist in life.

  • This song sounds better at a lower key

  • i like her version better idk why anyone is hating on her!!!!!

  • i love this version. if it would be all sung perfectly, it would be boring. then people would say it was auto-tuned. well, avril is not auto-tuned. and guess what, people start complaining. just enjoy the music.

  • @ABigBlueFish1 no they are best friends

  • Why did she sing this song?

  • I LOVE YOU AVRIL

  • i luv this song

  • how do you know this song was dedicated to evan???

    didi avril say anything about it or just a guess??

    for me, i do hope avril can be with evan....so sad

  • no maaa pues mas o menos pero la neta no esta tan chida la version

  • Meh. Not to say Avril Lavigne is bad or that Coldplay is bad, but the two don't work well together. She just can't sing this song. Oh yeah, its sweet and everything, but if you take out the sweet factor all you have is some girl who is very off key and off pitch singing a song that needs a different kind of voice.

  • Aww I'm Going back to the Start 0:00

  • awsome :D

  • People... she moved the key so it would fit in her range!!!! DUH!

  • I look up to Avril <3

  • I'm really used to the deep feelings from the original version by coldplay, and avril has a nice voice but her style just doesn't work with the song. As it was my song with my ex, i listen to the song alot and this version isn't really great.

  • i want a better quality of sound!!!! PLZ

  • I prefer the Coldplay's version, but this sounds so cute <3

  • Amazing cover :')

    Check out my cover of this song /watch?v=Onrd-afpQoQ

  • OMG make it stop jeez! stick your punk or whatever tf you do now!

  • i love avril lavigne in fact im going to see her live in a few weeks but to be honest this is really bad and only people who are tone deaf could think this was on key

  • She ruined it ... ='(

  • omg this is soo terrible. her annoying squeaky voice ruins the song, so does her face (lol)

  • @dniemann447 Doooooouuuuucccchhhhhhheeeeee

    

  • Dude, this ain't that bad. ):

    I like both Avril Lavigne and Coldplay A LOT. Couldn't choose between them, and I don't get the 'ruining' part. :P

  • ruined the song 

  • great song !! great singer!! but horrible performance !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @miraazTKD

    old band member from first album

  • @miraazTKD

    they also used to be an item or however u wana say it

  • Elle me dait pleuraii cette musik je pense a ma mamie quand j'écoute cette musik :'(

  • Hey..! "The Scienitist" song by ColdPlay and no Avril Lavigne..! Shit..

  • how to ruined a great success of coldplay by avril lavigne !

  • Me Gusta el cover pero No le llega ni alos talones ala version original :L

  • ;S

  • omg she cover another coldplay song FIX YOU, watch the vid here, AMAZING!!!

    watch?v=w0zEiMUG5N0&feature=re­lated

  • Dammit why dislike?

  • loving it!

    

  • she has pretty voice but not for this song...:/

  • Its Great But the Volume of her voice is pretty high and that spoils the Song, But Its great

  • ew. she's gross, her voice is gross.

  • @davies11223 keep it in ur pants duide...shes amazing

  • @MusicEqualsLife011 i don't know how "keeping it in my pants" has to do with her singing. :/

  • In one word: Beautiful

  • The reason why this cover doesn't quite work is because;

    1. It's too fast.

    2. She uses too high of a tone. She should have used her lower register, which is actually quite beautiful.

    But, it's actually quite a nice cover, and her Piano playing is great too. I would have just prefered if she used her more beautiful lower register really :)

  • Obsessed by the sheer brilliance of the British Music scene, RULE BRITTANIA!

  • This might be a not so good cover for a lot of people. I too like Coldplay much better but there's something in this song that makes me feel attached to it :(

  • I'f Avril can cover every stupid song out there then my radio will actually have purpose... :))

  • I prefer this version than coldplay's version she has an amazing and i prefer girl's voices !!

  • @Elanael1 LOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSEEEEEEERRRRR!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • whats wrong singing what you want? we all have our own likes and hates. she likes the song and she loved to sing it. theres nothing wrong about it. if u dont like it why watch at all. she never singed for u, its for Evan as the title say :)

  • avril doesnt suck at singing, i think its just the way shes singing it, its a bit off

    and sides, like stated before, its her version C:

  • @SHOW4STAGE Exactly.

  • i always think she and evan would be a cute couple !!

  • i love this cover :)

  • Whos evan

  • i thought her voice was okay, it's just the way she sang it was a little off i can't say it's the worse cover ever made, it's her style, some people like it, some people don't, and some people don't have to hate everything they see on youtube

  • ptain elle a defoncé cette magnifique chanson, mes oreilles saignent LOL

  • She can't hold a tune. How come nobody hears this shit?

  • @darrylsh you're right!! oh my god it's terrible!

  • Chris Martin is a pussy, Avril Lavigne is a ride!!! thats all that matters, regardless of who's version is better!!.. Avril would get pumped, Chris would not!.. AMEN!

  • Avril Lavigne does do a few covers of songs but she does it differently because she doesn't think its right to sing other peoples' songs the same as they do. She sings this very well and in my opinion its very good, if your opinion is the opposite well she tried her best.You just have to get over it that she won't make your type of music =P

  • she always makes awful covers but this one is not totally bad

  • i hope evan watch this

  • Evan is SO cute!! I like him best with blonde hair.

  • As fan of both Coldplay and Avril, I can say this cover is DEAD-ON!

  • Elle a massacré la chanson !!!

    

  • Her covers are always a bit off key.

  • Nope.

  • .ii actuallyy love this cover i dont care what other people say about it cause it's just amaziiinnn <3<3 :Dx

  • GO BACK WITH DERYCK WHIBLEY! YOUR REAL MAN!

  • la voix ne vas pas avec la musique

    

  • Her voice are very sweet

  • disgusting. terrible...what i can say more...hard to listen..

  • @juodasai fok ya

  • @bill57324 U2 .

  • Amazing

  • she is awesome :@ wtf are you people talking thats just her style

    and PS:what happend to her ex :s????

  • wat song live is 2.55

  • Just give me the version of Coldplay:)

  • she just ruined....gosh

  • too bad she cant sing

  • i AM ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS COVER! THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT I N 2008 WHEN I FIRST STARTED YOUTUBE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AMAZING! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

  • @ChangingSkys Are you serious?

  • gg

  • there is not doubt that she can sing, this is just not the type of song for her style of singing. it just sounds like she's trying to make it more powerful than it should be. this the type of song that becomes more powerful if you don't over sing and let everything be calm and natural. (till the end where it usually picks up)

  • i'll unfortunately never be able to un-hear this disgusting-ness.

  • ahhh.. this song is really for evan..<3 <3 <3

  • fail, just let coldplay do it.

  • Erm. Don't go hating her version just because you love Coldplay or Coldplay's The Scientist sooooo much. This is actually a good (enough) cover and she CAN sing. Oh by the way, covers will always be just covers. Just don't go hating.

  • not as good as the original but still very nice..

  • Avril Lavigne is a wonderful singer, but this was not a song she should've sung . . . or, at least, she shouldn't have sung it like this. The Scientist is one of my all time favorite songs.

    @bpilotte The tempo/beat/whatever else is practically the same, but it has nothing to do with preference to male or female voices. It's the fact that when Coldplay sings it, the EMOTION is so much different. You can feel pain & sadness in his voice. Her voice doesn't even begin to express the emotions.

  • I thought she could sing? Apparently not...

  • she sang it cus she liked the song, give it a break and admire

  • oooh....tune up your voice babe....

  • this is actually not that bad if you take this to a girl's POV its actually very good i mean of course coldplay's version is gonna be better but Avril just expressed the song in her own way and i have 2 say i liked it both of them so please dont trash either of them they r both respectable in their own way

  • This would be better if she were a better singer, or musician, or person.

  • I think Its not bad.. like all the coments.. its just another version.. another voice..

  • whose the tatoo showed at 44 seconds ?

  • it's not as bad as all these comments suggest. shaky start, but got used to it and enjoyed it after a short time.

  • NO.NO.NO. NOT AT ALL.

    VERY BAD SINGING.

  • Awful...

  • ppl trololololololol

  • the song is not for her

  • ok guys i got through about a minute and a half of this and i can't stop my ears from bleeding, ima go see the doctor, hopefully he/she can rid my brain of her voice...

  • After hear this I've a lot of desires of kill avril lavigne!!

  • Wow bit harsh. The start is a tad shaky, but it really picks up to be a really great great song. Its beautiful.

  • This is rape. Seriously. Horrendous. I don't dislike Avril Lavigne but she really didn't pull this one off, at all.

  • best song avrils ever sung........and its a cover!

  • this song is not sounds good from her.I think she needs a man-tuner

  • It looks like she's been repeatedly punched in the face.

  • LEAVE AVRIL ALONE !!!

    ha. just joking LOL

  • i kan squeek, i can squeel, but i cannot sing....avril go back into the cave you crawled outta

  • you guys are harsh. it's obviously not comparable with the original, but not bad. at all.

  • Okay, so she didn't do that well here, I admit. But Avril has improved, and she's good at singing now. This could have been one of her bad days,

  • ok i love avril lavine and i no i dint spell that right but this is not her song coldplays version is way way way better ~sorry

  • for those who hate her .. insecurity never falls her down ..

  • this do not sound good XD

  • piece of shit by avril lavigne

  • It's such a good a cover of her I don't get it what people have against it or against her so guys if you're jealous because she's so famous you are Id**ts

  • Wrong lyrics, wrong voice for the song.

    Sorry Avril, just keep singing stuff about skating and boyfriends, and don't mess up with grown ups' music.

    Yours sincerely

  • @22clem22 "Skating and boyfriends"? Really? Try to listen all of her songs and not just the singles, then you'll see she's NOT just skating and boyfriends.

  • cold amoo

  • AMOOOO esssa musica!!!!

    

  • COOL

  • i had a friend that was a girl and whe covered cold play songs

  • Comment removed

  • @bpilotte26 wtf dude, am jst sayin' that she sucked doin' this song not her type, she's great although !

  • Jajajajajajajaja..... que horribleee.... todo bien con avril, pero este tema lo tiene coldplay en las venas.... no es para vos este tema nena... Chris Martin ídolo ♥

  • its just a tribute......

  • I'm a straight man ok... but this song is very good, and i think she makes it awesome.

  • Tyson </3

  • I know Evan and Avril never dated but she totally ditched him for deryck i mean like wtf!!

  • hedious

  • In general, she's a fine singer. But in the beginning of the song she is cents sharp and its pretty noticeable.

  • Some people are retarded, its HER version of the song, its not to be compared to Coldplay, just on its own right.

  • @deathbystar if it was her own version then she would have done it differently than try to copy Coldplay`s version. Something like a rock version or something that is more fitting for her voice.

  • @deathbystar Actually. the whole point of calling it a cover automatically means that you are comparing it to the original. If she didnt want the comparison to happen she should have sang something she wrote herself. Its not terrible, just pitchy - but thats how she normally sings. I've heard way better covers of this.

  • touching

  • got a little better as it went on. But never as good as coldplay

  • why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • I love both versions, honestly. Coldplay might have done better, but idk. They both are good.

  • she has a beautiful voice but sorry,,,

    the original singer is still unbreakable....

    ^_^

  • evan and avril does a perfect friendship!!

  • ugh.

    im a classically trained musician and let me tell you

    her intonation was SO off.

  • i luv avril but she sounded childish in this song. haha

  • lindoo !!!!

  • @julianamarilly lindo uma merda , parece uma vaca a berrar , nada a ver com ela

  • i really enjoyed this :) i dont really like much of her music...but i adore this song and i like her voice to it. thank you
