Taylor Swift ~ Viva La Vida : Coldplay Cover

[paixetdamour]

@TKSTALKER no, i dont really think she is either... even if either of them are truely deep people i just dont think people who have sub-standard musical talent should record covers of better artists, especially on a show. leave playing that kind of stuff to your bedroom.

[tukimintz]

I like taylor's version better

[bakebakeladz]

shes good but coldplay are so much better than her :) and also what BarryDennen12 she should hurry up and get into porn

[fasttoyo]

yo taylor, im rly happy for you and i'mma let you finish, but...

[z4ng3tsu1ch1g0]

SHe ruined the intensity of the song.

[becanshrman]

coldplay sucks

[11kopitar]

@becanshrman your cat accidently jump on the keyboard ? yeah for sure how can someone say this !?

[rickyr123190]

this gave me a boner :P

[haroof]

Talk about a completely pussified cover.

[jprybicki1026]

@haroof It was a pussy song to begin with lol. It fits for Taylor to sing not grown ass men lol

[greenday9472]

I think she's better at the chorus than the verses. This is kind of cool though :-p

[wrenizzsexii]

her voice is 2 soft 4 this song

[liv496]

i have nothing personal against her but i just think there are many singers who have more talent and deserve the publicity she gets more than her.

[bubu201bayone]

her face got the devil in her like lady gaga scary as bitches there going to hell

[bubu201bayone]

this is crap i bet if she was ugly ass fuck and sounds like that she would get no play 

[FutureAssasin99]

Unlike Lady GaGa, Taylor Took This Don't Nice And Slow. She Sounds Nice But I Still Love The Original.

[MissAvitalJ]

I honestly think her version to this song is better just because I see myself lying on my bed on my worse day, listening to this cover and waking up the next day like it's the time of my life, like every other taylor swift song makes me feel <3

[dollbunnyhunny]

Meh.

[117magician]

lol (at 0:26vand 0:29) sticks middle finger

[laynal0ve]

I understand if you're use to the original that this is pretty different, but i think if you were looking for a very soft song to mellow out to, this cover works.

[Nikita50111]

lol its just calmer of softer than the normal version sorta

[bubu201bayone]

fucking devil worshiper

[bubu201bayone]

dam wish she sucked my dick

[StrIckeNXI]

@bubu201bayone Grow up and go to a porn site if you want to post this crap

[jiggyjigolo]

even coldplay cant do this song live nothing compares to the album version coz theres something called autotune lol.

[iaintblonde]

She didn't do too well, but she's a sweet chick and success comes with a couple failures. Look at all her accomplishments before you judge her failures. Rock on Taylor :)

[carnafx]

I think you're all being too harsh on Taylor. I'm a musician myself and I think she does a good job of covering this song. She has a nice soft voice which pays homage that side of the song. The only problem I can hear is that she doesn't have to belt out the notes as hard as she does in some parts because it ruins the tenderness of her voice and sounds terrible. Overall a good cover and I'm glad I listened to it.

[emez3c]

dude if it wasnt for country music were you need a soft voice she WOULDNT be big

[MrJezza31]

sod it, coldplays one is far better

[charmed3690]

goddd i hate her so much

[BarryDennen12]

I wish she'd hurry up and go into Porn.

[AshleyZize]

@BarryDennen12 OH MA GAWSH!!!!!!!!!! what is ur PUH-ROBLEM?!!!!!!! porn? u want her to go into prong?

[TheThejoseph]

@BarryDennen12 ... wow people are disgusting

[monkeyymedia]

did everyone see how many times she flipped off the camera haha :p just kidding guys

[Zizou7795]

No es Tan Bueno.:! Sobre todo en algunas partes Taylor se escucha como una voz nasal..!

[iramae9]

Taylor Swift is boring i'm so sorry for saying that especially to those who are fans of her but i'm just saying what is the truth & what i want to say :(

[Gaubizi]

i'm sure taylor swift fans will like this version but to me it's only narcotic, her phrasing and breathing is also unfavourable.

[whisperedlaughter]

Stick to country you twat

[Tengoku2010]

I'd much rather have her cover Don't Stop Me Now than Perry.

[259gale]

What the hell she thought while singing it. Bitch!!!

[Mssunshinelolipop9]

ok???? 0:57

[cardsfan38]

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. I'm a huge Coldplay fan but this cover is not as bad as you make it out to be. It's not like Avril Lavigne is covering it. She is absolutely atrocious when it comes to covering Coldplay songs. Taylor went with a softer approach to this song, Chris Martin does the same thing when he plays it acoustically.

[AlexWang96]

the other singers are all joulous at that song

[edwiind]

3:02 reminds me nemesis of resident evil

[Guatexico78]

..taylor swift...fuck you

[flamespiner]

@Guatexico78 ... not nice :P

[Guatexico78]

@flamespiner that's the point ;)

[Baletka235]

I dont like it. It lost the power.

[alanyoung2]

Now picture Allison Krouss or Norah Jones!

[sherlockfzn]

wow wonderful taylor. do u wnt me to listen 2 ur songs anymore or not. u made me feel that question. did anyone asked u 2 sing it? then y the heck u go around pokin ur nose n get so offended. let me giv u an advice. u only suits 2 ur songs

[WertyBertyful]

0:28 to all dislikers.

[milaxqe]

Ella no interpreta. Su voz es tierna, pero vacía...

[BriJBabe1234]

I'm sorry, Taylor, hun, but you really need to stick to being cookie cutter. >.<

[jocamari88aria]

Ugh, she made me dislike this song...

[baunilha86]

Dear Taylor, I love you but please don't do this anymore :|

[sjaswim12697]

@oimccaf63 that is diffinately taylor!

[ojmccaf63]

wait! That's not Taylor!! It's that one girl from Band Named Perry!!! ---- she makes this song sound sexy though!! lol

[IsRaEliGuY20]

00:29 - taylor lets us know what she thinks of our criticism

[jemakan]

0:56 you flipping me off?;D

[odenb5]

She's not trying to out do the original and she obviously knows she could never top coldplay and have their feel for the song. But she sings it pretty good, and at least she knows good music. And is singing this and not party rock anthem or some dumb shit.

[friendshipgirl345]

Of course no one could replicate or even be better than how Chris Martin sang it, but this cover wasn't that bad....I have to disagree just a bit with those who say that her voice didn't have feeling while singing this song, because I did feel how her voice rose or fell in certain notes....and I mean, dude, she's paying the artist to sing this, so, pfft, right? I think Taylor should sing more of these songs instead of the crappy happy ones..her voice fits it more..:p

[AintGoin]

I think she's too soft for such a powerful and emotional song. I think she should cover Strawberry Swing, Clocks, or Speed of Sound. Those songs would work better with her voice and style.

[4evergreen1000]

Where'd the passion go? The feeling? No!!!!!!!!!! Where'd all the original singers go?

[Pedrinn94]

I hate his voice...

[trickster672]

I agree with blueberry mainly -- There's not much passion or enthusiasm in her voice which is what makes the original for me.

[lissss17]

I fell asleep

[GOLFforeGOD]

Love Coldplay and I feel way to feminine if I listen to t swift but this is awesome and I'd totally buy it - great job

[dojoman01]

wait werent comments supposed to be nice, i thought they called it a comment for a reason lol

[mdiazohh9]

@dojoman01 yes.. a comment, not a compliment.. comments are people's opinions.

[mikeythechamp]

:$

[andrewSharward]

People always seem to forget, and it makes me sad, that when any artist covers the song of another they aren't trying to be better. They are paying homage to the other artist for creating a song that they feel strongly about.

[Aceman7723]

Shouldn't be hard to make a song sung by Chris Martin sound better vocally, but of course Taylor Swift makes it sound worse.

[Antdog5]

soooo hot

[gleegirl2882]

watch j takes a spill 50 thousandeep 2 one down

[DleeEve14]

Agreed with this guy.. is a tribute to my favorite band.. to a GREAT band as Coldplay is.. i don't like taylor's voice.. but you know is a coldplay song ;) is a good one.. i don't hated.. but i don't love it ;)

[S0NiCCCCC]

she ll never be chris martin...but hey...shes paying tribute to a great band, so i dont see any reason to hate~...u cant expect her to sing like him

[OldBillOldBlue]

1:05 ... WHY U FLIPPIN ME OFF TAYLOR ??? :(

[YinMajora]

All you Coldplay fans need to stop being bitches...she's covering it because she liked THEIR song...you should feel happy she likes it. And yes, I'm a Coldplay fan, but I find it horrible how all of you are acting just cuz she wanted to cover this song, from the millions she had to pick from. I'm betting Coldplay feels honored that she chose their song from all the choices she had

[XxProducitonsxX]

@YinMajora except cold play stole this song from a guitar player..../watch?v=eb49QuPLuHg

[Kirasido]

she has a nice voice and all... but her singing this song makes me kind of want to stab my computer...

[ColdplayLov3]

Her voice gives me a headache. No one can top Coldplay no matter how they sing their songs. Coldplay is amazing! Unlike Taylor Swift. She should stick to her country music... 

[JoshuaJT53]

Her voice just wasn't meant for the song.

[gokunaruto12]

i love when she looks into the camera

[markadarfalus]

Stupid haters, imo both these artists are overrated anyways, but this song suites her voice pretty well.

[msLuvowlcity]

@jpgrfm88 BUut don't you think that she IS good at some songs? I respect your opinion...:) She is not the best at these strong, powerful songs...

[EJperfection]

It's not bad... but not good either... Maybe if she tried ''The Scientist'' or ''See you soon'' would have been better!??

[TeaTimeTurtle]

She so just flipped somebody/everyone off at 0.26!!! Not really, but couldn't help but notice and point it out, lol.

[MultiPonyKiller]

She's not a bad singer, but her voice isn't right for this song

[Vladamirr21]

10lbs of makeup later



[moonwalker4696]

she killed the song ... too soft

[mattl0987]

americas sweetheart 

[XXXpockygirlXXX]

Pause at 1:03 

[MyHIMfan]

she looks stupid at anything she does>.>

[jagasaurusable]

@BellaAndChristy You think Taylor Swift is actually going to read this comment? Get a life.

[hameo97]

i love taylor no matter what everyone says :))!!!!!!!

[palpatine17]

I want to drink her bath water. :)

[bladeage]

i would like to have sex with her, very much so.

[psiico24]

God I hate this woman, she's like all those teenage girls on youtube who can kind of sing but not really. The only difference is this one is famous, but she can still only kind of sing. Having range does not make you a good singer! Having control does!

[petepete81]

Taylor Swift is playing on a Taylor guitar. Coincidence?! o.O

[xiiisha]

@petepete81 I think not!

[xbox360striker0]

0:25 fuck you you

[qmp5]

wtf TAYLOR SWIFT STOP RAPING GOOD MUSIC AS IF I DDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS B4 THE CHRISTMAS COVER YOU DID!!!

[zinimef]

she's ruining a very good song :'(

[hameo97]

@zinimef you say the fuckest thing,stop your mouth,shit!!!!!!

[zinimef]

@hameo97 geezz..whats up with that temper?" ur the 1 who doesnt know how to differentiates a good music@ real talent,i guess. i think u just a disney's babies,haha *btw, there r more mean comments here compare to mine :P ~i dont want to live on this planet anymore ,loL

[lexworthington2]

She's good. Now I'm gonna check out gaga's cover since apparantly she has one.

[sheandherheart]

Taylor...I wuv yew<3 keep doin what chya doin!

[dicksandshit]

I JACK OFF MY DICK

with vasoline

[Satinthecafe]

Gaga's cover is so much better!

[abbyyqoototwamp]

i liked it



[brockmanbeth]

great

[alternitive333]

FAIL thats all i have to say

[hmc230]

Oh man, this is terrible. Please, Taylor, stick to your own music.

[bol1821]

god this is awful!!



[termenzor]

This beats the shit out of Lady Gaga's cover

[berra008]

Gaga cover blows her away

[thatgirln0ryx3]

This is amazing. You wanna hear a bad version of Viva La Vida? Listen to Cher Lloyd's version....

[simoncpu]

I can fap to this.

[hdshb]

en serio VIVE!!! la vida, no entiendo como puede cantar esa cancion con esa falta de emocion

[blueberry1004]

She has a very nice voice and is really talented at singing, but you just don't get the feeling you get when you hear Chris singing the song. Coldplay's songs have so much passion and feel to them, it's hard for anyone to perform it the way they do!

[AdmiringObserverR]

@blueberry1004 this is true, so perhaps this is why some artists, choose to just put all they have into the direction they choose for it, instead of trying to immitate or live up to what the original artist did with it. I think that that is what covers are for, to show another inspiration for it, another direction, at least that's what I like to do with them.

[CodeArsenal010]

@blueberry1004 what you mean is that when you listen to there song it gives you chills

[OOVENFRESSH]

I don't hate Taylor Swift, but this really isn't her song. I'm sure she meant to sing it quietly/subtle for musical flavor, but this song is meant to be sung agressive. Just isn't the best *shrugs*.

[mariahMgreer]

@OOVENFRESSH so true!

[trekofromgueto]

that sucks. although it sounds completely like my gf.

[WEOneStep]

well, this is a better effort then Avril Lavigne to cover a coldplay's song. The songs are underestimated to sing, it's pretty hard to sing their songs.

And wtf i didn't know Taylor Swift was this hot lol.

[mattaroni102]

I wish I could marry this girl.

[Asparagus1519]

or type into utube coldplay japan live viva la vida hd. This is the bst.

[Asparagus1519]

chris martin is way better at singing this song.Taylor swift has completely noooooooooooo conviction as she speaks, whereas Chris Martin( Coldplay) makes everything so exciting. If you haven't seen his fans go to this website

[godlickedme]

I don't really see why people think she is so ridiculously hot, but she can play guitar and can sing which is more than what a lot of pop singers do.

[kimbrolee]

lol this sucks.

[chezzyeater]

people listen to her pitch, tone, voice quality..or u really dont know how to listen?just comment since u dont like her that much?

[xopriscillerzxo]

i'm a HUGE taylor fan, but this sounds like a mediocre teenage girl singing at a high school talent show. :/ she looks beautiful as usual, though.

[sevnthson71]

Cover of a rip off of Satriani? C'mon she's actually more talented than that.

[letitiacraven]

this is pretty damn good!!!!!...kinda surprised..

[tluubuilder]

You made me miss my lover. So sad !

[ImperfectCrayon]

is it just me or did she just flip me the bird?

[gustosiito10]

nooooooooo que pecaito no me gusto tiene pura voz de ratica

[troglodyto]

this song is so much more emotional all of a sudden. wow. the original is kinda like a rocking anthem about your downfall. Taylor like turned an action movie into a romance movie lol.

[RickACase]

There's no energy in the music... This version makes me sad... The song is supposed to be uplifting.

[uuekj]

@meharmony1 actually I've done my research. the song was written about unrequited love for someone. just the one word "yellow" came from a phonebook. it was missing that one word, and that was inspired by a phone book when chris saw it and he said it fit with the song

[vivalabam10]

gay.

[PlatyMoose1]

@Johnih23 you said the same thing on ladygaga's cover... and i agree with you on both.

[LostEnchanted13]

wow this is amazing.

[TrAnSfOrMeRgEeK2000]

her voice is too soft for this song

[RickACase]

@TrAnSfOrMeRgEeK2000 I would like to point out that Chris's voice is also very soft. What is really lacking is the energy... There is none...

[AbigailCompositions]

@TrAnSfOrMeRgEeK2000 , No she just can't sing.

[PsychodelicRecords]

@TrAnSfOrMeRgEeK2000 ...what? i've never heard a more wimpy soft voice than whoever the singer for coldplay is.. he always puts me to sleep because i get so bored. not trying to just troll, but your comment makes no sense

[whitewagnernespi]

this actually.....kinda sucks? i like taylor but she sounds boring as balls

[lovechristinex]

her voice, honestly, is not good.. so weak

[SocialStallion]

The thing about T Swift...is that...I'd totally bang her

[miathapapaya]

wow.....love her singing period

[vettel2810]

not bad.... but why she show her finger to da camera?!

[turoniner]

I just hate that she gets a custom Taylor guitar even though she's barely half a guitarist. Sigh.

[Byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

@turoniner

Rich people.

[turoniner]

@Byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :-(

[turoniner]

@Byaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa And the funniest thing is, i bet they gave her that guitar for FREE for the exposure.....

[whenrainmeetssun]

Tay is amazing <3

[LiGangwei]

Hmm... I like Coldplay's version better, a lot better....

Wonder if I'll get downvoted for expressing personal preference...

[whenrainmeetssun]

@LiGangwei yes

[ECHIUS93]

i think this is for the haters 0:26 lol

[GerardLuver777]

She's a great songwrite, she has great energy. but jesus. Her voice is horrific.

[Let6oiy]

@GerardLuver777 You go sing then.

[MsDeffoMik]

I honestly enjoyed this and I'm not a Taylor Swift fan at all. I don't doubt her talent, though. Never have and definitely don't think of ever doubting her talent after seeing this. This was great.

[moonblossom15]

not a bad cover- it's funny though to hear someone with a southern American accent sing that instead of a British accent!
