amy macdonald - Fairy Tale Of New York - This Is The Life (B

[280Redmist]

amy is singing from 0:00 up to 1:10

[Rassamdul]

good cover

[getaefuk]

Fuck all wrong with this song, so what if Kirsty isn't singing.....nice for people to put their own slant on songs instead of copying. Better than listening to Dean or Bing talk their way through a load of old school bollox!

[blue200tdi]

Oooooooo! They've really, really, really murdered this song!

[1wiglet]

@blue200tdi WANKER JOHN PAUL SARTRE WOULD VOMIT YOUR FUCKING ANUS

[SonicInPyjamas]

I think my ears are bleeding...

Especially that Bloke... What the hell...

Lol! Leave it to Shane and Kirsty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot put enough exclamation marks for that point!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FRANCISCOJOSEALMEIDA]

Man the original is much better, this version sucks

[blootette]

Sorry but NO, leave it to Shane and Kirsty

[jinxxedlikeshit]

@blootette Truth remains true.

God i hate and love this song.... I just hope that some day i'll go home.

[spr66]

@blootette Unless you can raise the dead, good look with that.

[Yippidiyippida]

great cover, not as good as the origonal, nothing will ever be but i would pay money to see version played live.

[MegaEvil001]

Ahh, yea. No. This is all wrong. She's trying too hard. The Stars version is the best, next to the original of course.

[VisionthingWST]

just yuck.....wrong wrong wrong

[22andic22]

SHANE AND KIRSTY are much better... Stay away from this song Amy....

[Scriptireland]

@22andic22 I think Amy did a good version....

[Scriptireland]

@JoostVanKommer We all know that!

[JoostVanKommer]

THATS NOT SHANE!

[maremma05]

she has a great voice but not for that song nobody can cover it

[jasonorc]

I actualy really like this song. I know a lot of people are saying "it sucks" and stuff, but after listening to a few other versions of this song, I think this is probably the best! Amy is easily my fave singer!

[GoingToPasalacqua12]

@jasonorc there is nothing better than the original.

[jasonorc]

@GoingToPasalacqua12

Nahh, I disagree. This is my favourite version by far!

[GoingToPasalacqua12]

@jasonorc dont get me wrong, i think this is actually one of the better covers of it, usually when i hear someone else like Ronan Keating i just cringe, this one is actually listen-able. but the guy singing in it is horrible, you can just tell he's trying to sing it like exactly Shane Macgowan, thats whats putting me off, i actually wouldn't mind hearing Shane and Amy do it together. but no version will ever be better than the original with Shane, Kirsty Macoll and The Pogues.

[jasonorc]

@GoingToPasalacqua12

Well, I suppose I still disagree. Although I certainly prefer Amy to the guy in this one, I also much prefer Amy to Kirsty Macoll's way of singing it. And although I couldn't say who I prefer of Shane or this guy, I think his voiceworks quite well with Amy's, and so I think it works. Still my favourite version of this song :)

[orainer687]

i want new songs amy please

[DerSulle]

Jesus almighty! That's the worst cover I've ever heard.... You simply can't do that to a brilliant song like that!

[HotWinePunch1718]

I really like amy but this is not good at all! nobody can cover shane and kirsty!!!

[garyf7777]

Terrible, terrible cover.

[baldandold]

there is a youtube vid of thetrack live too

[baldandold]

in fact it IS jamie sefton ive just discovered

Mick Jagger?......PMSL

[baldandold]

The male singer could be jamie sefton (her bassist)......

[marijn96]

@baldandold

how about Shane McaGowan, the fella who wrote the song. But how is that woman?

[baldandold]

@marijn96

if you google the question you will see, try LAST.FM where you can buy the 5.5m track

[meffke]

@marijn96

Kirsty MacColl

[manfred656]

the singer is Mick Jagger, isn´t he?

[FaintCryingOrchidee]

the one and only fairytail of new york is from ronan keeting..

[spiderman30603060]

@FaintCryingOrchidee I'm sorry but that is not possible it could be the worst of all of them! Nothing beats the original

[smuldia]

@FaintCryingOrchidee Are you on crack? Ronan Keating?

[FaintCryingOrchidee]

@smuldia yes ronan keating.. ^^

[StoneageDinosaurs]

That is definitely NOT Shane singing, it is someone trying to sound like him. At about 2..20 this guy reverts to his own voice for a few seconds.

[NathalieVicious]

This is definitely NOT Shane MacGowan, thought I'd let ya all know.

[carlabellis]

good singer

[19mavideniz71]

is that shane and amy?

[TheMrMusicmaker]

@19mavideniz71 We'll I think so, Shane's vioce is very remarkable.

[TheMrMusicmaker]

@19mavideniz71 We'll I think so, Shane's voice is very remarkable.

[absdababs]

who is the guy?

[frobiboi]

Amy is incredible in this cover! the bloke does not do shane justice but who can?

[levi636]

This is an abortion

[TheCommando911]

she sounds lyk she is really old

[LunaOccurrence]

barf!

[silverfangzero]

good effert but....its hold as good as the original.

[MrDjmacd]

I am Darcy MacDonald from out west, u r beautiful and good. Cheers from a macdonald bluesman.

[BlademasterFox365]

Who is the guy singing the Male part of the song. Is it actually the guy fromt he Pogues? Because it sounds like him, if it´s not then the dude singing can do a great impression XD

[Liesiejlollie]

No, it's not. It's her bassist :)

[KittyandMimmy11]

@BlademasterFox365 Nah it's her bassist, Jamie. :D

[BlademasterFox365]

@KittyandMimmy11 Ah...thanks for that. 

I sang this song at a karaoke at this bar... I was really drunk, so I sonuded just like the lead singer of the Pogues XD

[KittyandMimmy11]

@BlademasterFox365

You're welcome.

PFFT, haha. XP

[joehanna51]

This is so amazing! I like it:)

[Gandalf606]

Oooo - ouch - voices are a bit rough on this version - not a patch on the beautiful original - God Bless you Kirsty and The Pogues...

[teutebod2009]

agreed

[neijsseni]

it's not like the original though i'm not sure if it isn't better, especially the male voice

[Shuggens123]

ahhh i saw her singing this in Southampton last year! <3 ahhh. it was AMAZING. reallyyyyyy got me in the mood for xmas that did.

[CooolShizz]

i love this! amazing version! i love amy macdonald :)

[peacefrog1916]

Nobody should touch this song...only Shane MacGowan and Kirsty McColl can do it any justice.

[teutebod2009]

I'd usually agree, but Christy Moore does a beautiful interpretation as well imho

[salvarmira]

THE POGUES!

[AmyMacDRocks]

I love it!

I think Jamie's voice really suits the song ;-)

Nice one, Amy and Jamie!

x

[venaly3]

She has such a powerfull voice.

wow

[RipTheRam]

A wonderful tribute.

[KakatheStrange]

Amy macdonald makes me relax (:

Even thoug this song is hilarious.

[jack34403]

Mwhehe...The Pugues ftw x')

[joepantry]

The Pogues mate

[BladeAndSoul]

[cameyproon]

[etad987]

if you liked this one look up the tex perkins and clare bowditch version from the Australian show Rockwiz

[revilo178]

in this song her voice almost scares me

[shelikeskttunstall]

good, but she does not better than KT Tunstall.!

[revilo178]

and you are obviously not biased *lol*

[revilo178]

4:52 does she say "come on, you can do better than that"? ^^

[venaly3]

I understand"come on,you can do it better than not"

[revilo178]

no way, I'm now pretty sure that she says as I wrote. (it makes much more sense too.)

Geiler Dialekt xD

[venaly3]

Ja,aber ich mag das Lied nich so.

Das is mir zu viel Country oder was auch immer :-P

[revilo178]

"Geiler Dialekt" bezog sich auf den oben genannten Spruch.

[venaly3]

xD

Aber wieso covern die alle dieses Lied?

[revilo178]

kA. wer covert es denn alles?

vielleicht ist es Tradition, an Weihnachten dieses Lied zu singen.

[MichelleSeven]
