Marcus Collins: Why I covered the White Stripes

[iornzep579]

In other words....... You killed an awesome song

[TheDinasourBook]

.... It's a good cover of a really good cover. Bet you don't have the confidence to write a full album then release it. He is very talented and is just starting out. If you've got a problem with it don't listen to it..... And if someone said that about my song I'd be pretty chuffed. So lay off.

[camolo24]

so long as he knows what he did was just not quite right, I'll let it pass.

[collinatorg]

Marcus Collins all the way!

[darrensymes]

he didnt cover the white stripes...

he covered a cover of the white stripes...

but it wasn't a cover...

he tried to make it sound exactly the same!

[KennonWryt]

THIS DUDE IS A PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING THIEF.. He didn't come up with this song OR this cover... Unoriginal hunk of shit, just like all pop stars nowadays.

[XtErMiNaTiOnZz]

@KennonWryt agreed

[garyadams77749]

Bollocks he didn't even know who the White Stripes where before his Record company told him... No one knows what date it came out off the top of their head, i doubt Meg and Jack can even remember that lol

[SkyExplosion]

Why did he? To ruin the song that's why.

[Blueknightex]

I'm glad he didn't win The X Factor. I like him though and I'm pretty sure that he'll be more successful with his next single and debut album.

[HazeleyesSLA]

Love his accent.

[poissondoree]

YOU HAVE STOLEN Ben l'Oncle Soul VERSION !!!!!!!!!

[itsawalsh]

"because I suffer from mental illness" "because I hate jack white" "because I wanted to completely destroy a really good song" "it's just a joke guys, I didn't cover it fo'reals" those would've been reasons I'd have understood

[MrHarvey1968]

Because he is contractually advised to do whatever he's told. Marcus is a nice enough chap with a great voice and whoever forced him to cover this song should be ashamed of themselves.

[lozzy992010]

Yeah but this involves the uk x factor where u have to copy it!!!

[MsTiberiius]

Wow. People still don't realize that he took the entire 'cover' from Ben L'Oncle Soul.. This is so much bullshit I can't even take it down

[12Jakeyboy]

If he's such a good song writer, why dose he need to copy amazing songs?! I don't even think Justin Bieber would stoop that low.

[emmahlie]

Tacky as fuck. Have some originality - if the songs so iconic then use it for inspiration, don't cover something if you can't add anything to the mix. Does anyone else not thing it's pretty ridiculous that he released a cover as his debut single? Just goes to show what music is these days.

[ToxicArabian]

Love his voice, stop having a go at him for covering a song, everyone does it. If you hate it go and have at JB.

[dubradical]

Its a good cover of a good cover of a good song - so what is the problem?

[HarrietBabees]

Amazing think if he would of came first he would only have cannon ball out and nothing else - as for little mix - they have only got one song !!!

[xxth0mpsonxx]

Fuckin nigger british fagget

[jjoeshaw]

@xxth0mpsonxx Trolling fail...

[jjoeshaw]

@xxth0mpsonxx you're either trolling or stupid.

[jjoeshaw]

@xxth0mpsonxx you're either trolling or stupid.

[m0bleez]

Back off all those people who have never lived!

[m0bleez]

Hey!!! Everyone who doesn't like Marcus, you have never lived! Love him, great cover! Prefer this by a mile to the original.

[NathanSykesEllie]

he's not copying anyone! haters back off and leave him alone.

[onehotminutex]

BEN ONCLE SOUL'S cover is what he's covering. its suspicious that he knews the exact month of white stripes release. i liked marcuon the x factor but this is tacky and embarrang, stealing a cover of a cover.

[asjames92]

he completely destroyed the song!! the filthy scouser needs to end his career now!!!

[JoeHeavenTerry]

@asjames92 Yes, or I will end it for him..

[coolgirl09able]

He is good-looking!!

[Roxych0u]

Haha, I just heard him on TV, and I was like: GOD, it's just like Ben l'Oncle Soul ! He's just copying !

[qminh97]

Ben l'oncle soul.

[RoisinDuggan100]

Brilliant cover :) nice one Marcus!

[MrPaolo92500]

Why ????? Because he's a thief... I'm sorry 4 saying that but checkout for BEN ONCLE SOUL , he did the exact same version 3 years ago !!!

[XFactor9311]

I Can't Wait For The Album To Come Out I'LL BE BUYING IT.

[CheekymOnKeY572]
