Howard Jones, White Flag (Dido Cover)

[kt4kt4kt]

I'm so thrilled that you posted this song. I can tell you I have jonesed to hear this song since I heard it on that totally lame TV show in 2005. I had it on my TiVo and would play just this song--probably did that 20-30 times, until I got divorced and lost the TiVo. Losing this song was the biggest lose...(:

[nostradamus302]

it sounds great because is a Dido creation

[rizzydacolor]

When did John Lithgow become a singer ?

[tonkahoosier]

@rizzydacolor LOL that's awesome. He does look like him though, doesn't he? Haha.

[leosky2]

Dear Howard, what a good surprise, really loved it ...

[CelesteK]

I bet half of the kids that are in that audience don't even know who HoJo is? LOL!!!

[thepure879]

Lias version is better

[Ozziedots09]

I have listened to this a million times, it is so haunting and stunningly beautiful. Howard, please do a recording of this so we can have it in a better quality!

[runawaydj]

Seen Howard live a bunch of times.... His music and vocals never get old. He's an incredible keyboardist, singer and musician ! !

[tbout1212]

He still sounds good, miss the red hair tho

[FandubSongs1]

this dude is old but i really like his voice its very smoothing too such a good voice espcially the chorus

[TheScotch69]

HoJo

[Sleepdancer87]

too bad he cut out the best part of the song. Anyway i'm not sure the crowd is feeling the song, either that or they're listening to another entirely different and more happy upbeat one.

[bythe95]

Very good cover!

[TheRealArtzilla]

Stunning cover. This was far and away the best performance of the night, I remember watching it as it aired and immediately wishing he would record it in the studio.

[Foxyon55]

absolutely amazing. well done Howard. Does anyone now if he released this as a single?

[turtledomination]

Dido is 1000000x better

[PSYCHABOO]

I can't believe he lost to Irene Cara. Sorry but Irene sucked.

[huytran8321]

i wish my voice like howard jones

[lisagaryk]

I watched this show the night it aired, and he just blew me away with this amazing rendition. The real crime is, he didn't even win the show that week. A very embarrassingly bad Irene Cara was unbelievably named the winner.

[FunksUTube]

This cover actually made me like this song. Howard Jones is an incredible artist.

[TheRealArtzilla]

I wish he'd do a cover of this, I would love to buy studio single of it. I love this.

[amariedavies]

I love Howard Jones...wonderful version..such a beautiful voice. I must say too, he's aged well!!

[binnet8]

'not bad' - Are you serious!? His voice and interpretation is incredible. What you should be concerned about is the nuff nuffs clapping.

[jaynie33]

not bad.

[spookyidolworshipper]

Howard Jones consistently makes great music. When he did this show I was a little concerned, but then he performed this.. Yah, say what you will about 80's stars...But Howard Jones always delivers a solid performance. he still tours and if you ever get the chance to see him - do. You won't regret it. ( on a side note, not really being a Dido fan, it opened my eyes to a new song.)

[boxerayo]

Es buena rola!!!

[My5Cents]

Lmao this isn't the song to clap to.. seriously..

More like :

-Sway your hand back and forth or raise a lighter type song..

[dana7298]

His voice is very passionate, I love it.

[jipsqueeny]

a great artist can sing anything brilliant cover

[Beknattert]

i think its better than the original!

[ThoreAnd]

Why are they clapping?

Retards!

I hate clapping during songs!

[Vicarageroad1]

Same.. its so annoying.

[CalebTheGuitarist]

ROFL I KNOW RIGHT!!!! i dont know why people clap its sooooo anoying. makes me want to rip my hair out. seriously if i was eveer doin a live show and ppl started calpping, id stop the show and say... "oh no you dont.. the show starts when the clapping stops."

[Snipza]

its even worse when people are off tempo.

[origamihell]

@ThoreAnd especially when the morons can't keep time

[kevjay777]

@ThoreAnd They're clapping because they want to feel as they're a part of the music-making. Clapping makes them feel this way because they're mostly all losers who don't give a rat's ass that it totally trashes the music.

But remember why they're there - to forget the fact that they're losers in the first place.

[crosnobol]

@ThoreAnd agree

[crustyblob]

@ThoreAnd

You are an idiot!

[HarleyStcool]

thats gay that the audience claps, they think if they clap hard enough they are part of the music

[vitandolini]

Am I the only one that thought John Lithgow was singing this song? :)

Great cover!

[ThatDude424]

hahaha no ur not

[RustyNinja]

Thats funny. I was thinking the same thing.

[rayking05]

who cares it sounds amazing

[gmansi]

Why does he do a cover if he have a lot of really good songs?

[pedroferreiralp]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[cafeledavid]

cuz its fun

[NESCartFan]

Because that's what the show did with all the performers... sang an old song, then a cover of a new one.

[gmansi]

Thanks, I dont know about that.

Now is clear.

:)

[rayflute]

Surprisingly good. :)

[bmusker]

this wasn't on vh1 silly, it was on british televsion and rebroadcast in the u.s. 9 months later

[wouter02]

OMFG this issss awesome

[QueenCrazy46]

I REALLLLLLLLY want howard to make a CD version of this song!

He sings it better than dido.

:P

[mambogirl66]

that's not ture

[pedroferreiralp]

He doesn't need to sing other artists' songs.

[gmansi]

Yes, I am with you on this point!

[ASTRAALLEN]

This was for a show. I think he had to.

[Anhell2005]

Nice piano version!

But I think he should have made it with Dido in it. That would've rocked.

It's a nice version, though.

[ckn711]

watching him brings back the 80's when I was in highschool

[retrotrut]

well i guess its alright :)

[NTfirst]

the same cool voice as every early time...

[timmhg]

Howard Jones was a simbol of the eighties. He is a talent man. ambrose2124: keep listen your noise lousy music.

[damulott]

i wish those morons in the crowd would stop clapping to the song. cant they just sit and enjoy respectfully? vh1 hires people they think are pretty to stand up front and act enthused. thing is, it's not necessary. some people could actually be trying to enjoy it and those fake a-holes who think they have to clap along with every song just make it less enjoyable.

[ambrose2124]

crap.

[ziggyjinuk]

no soul ambrose. stop, think, understand - be nice!

[QueenCrazy46]

Like to see you sing better.

No one can EVER sing better or infact as good as Howard Jones.

He is the best singer everrrr.

[Steintor2001]

Oh my Good, was a long time I see him again in a TV !!!

[drakep]

i fuckin LOVE howard jones, he's amazing!!

[edgy88]

Who's this guy? he doesn't spell it really well! Nice performance though

[loverocket]

Howard was and is an awesome talent

[moontrader]

Howard's still got it. I only wish he could have sung the whole song. And put it on an album...power of suggestion...maybe one of his people will read this!

[mzzh]

that was awesome
