  • great

  • Hey guys it's not that bad!

  • perdio su esencia le hace falta el sentimiento de robert smith

  • shitty cover

  • that fucking hat. *shudders*

  • I love Daniel Powter and I love this song, but I must say he disappointed me with this cover... I've listened to covers by Katie Melua (fabulous) and others, but this one was far behind...

  • Missing all the meaning from the original, this is a mere shadow of its' former glory...it's like "Tori Amos sings The Crass".

  • To be fair, he sang it well. For me it sounds a bit "Simon Cowelly" which is not what The Cure were about. The original would never have worked if done in this way but its interesting how these classics are being re-done. Adelle has done Love Song. Lets not forget The Cure. I would appeal to the younger generation to dig out the originals. You don't know what you missed out on.

  • i love this version so everybody stop complaining! Daniel Powter is one of my favorite singers and has been since the beginning

  • I love the original but this version works too!

  • Comment removed

  • 37 peeps don't have ""feeling"" for music.

    this song makes my day.

  • 有37個人腦子有病

  • @myname12320 說的好

  • Everything this guy does is beautiful. I love the Cure and I also loved this rendition of the song.

  • What's with that damn hat he's wearing?

    

  • As a musician I appreciate artists who put a personal spin on cover songs (while staying true to the spirit of the original). Check out Anberlin's cover of The Cure's "Love Song."

  • Ruined a great cure song... Thanks..

  • you know i just noticed he looks kinda like fluffee

  • nothing on the original! am off 2 listen2 the cure

  • he totally lost the essence of this song... Sounds boring and i can't stand the actor studio part... "look at me it's emotional"... ewww

  • i have Daniel Powter 2008 CD, and didn't know he sang this song, heard Katie Melua's version of this... so coool!!!

  • excellent interpretation

    

  • I didn't know one of my favourite singers has made a cover of one of my favourite bands!?xD

  • @bumserne2 : Powter and The Cure as favs?? Seriously..?

  • daniel powter your awsome i am getting ur album for christmas and so should everyone else,and even though my freinds say ur shit i will never stop listening for my shit is better than there shit =D

  • I don't like it. He's a great singer, but I miss the guitar riffs the the unique song of Robert plant.

  • @roms3 Robert Plant?

  • @Jotmy86

    Shit, I meant Robert Smith.

  • luv they way he picks up the melody! see for yourself (0:39)

    ~PEACE~

  • ONE MORE THING! DANIEL's SONGS CAN CHEER ME UP ANYTIME! BIGTIME!

    ~PEACE~

  • Daniel, you are VERY talented!

  • @BrankoBrankov he is the best! you dont find 3 things all together in a person oftn! (Great Singer, Awesome song writer & a brillent live performer!!!)

  • I actually love the cover, never heard of The Cure. . It sounds really good.

  • @mariotuzzo You shoud here the cure too! they are pretty awesome too! actually the real sog is more of a rock n roll not so romantic lol!!! But Daniel sure made it romantic ! gr8 job!

  • He seems like he has the ability to do a pretty cover.

    But all the blue notes in his vocal melody just kinda make him sound lazy. lmao.

    It's alright though, I'm a little biased, as I am a die hard fan of the Cure.

  • @Jayciethatonekid YEAH !!! you are rite! its amazing! we have two completely different tones & feelings for a same song!!! lol

  • So much more melodic than the cures version! I feel like i must be listening to a different track to everyone else!! absolutlely brilliant!!!

  • pffffffffffffff

  • Okay this makes me want to vomit. Oops, I think I just did.

  • bad cover. bad bad bad.

  • @Jociiiid I agree, it's a damn shame..

  • Das lied is schöön.

    es erinnert mich, an eine besondere person.

    an eine person, die mir von tag zu tag wichtiger wird <3

    eine person, die ich nie wieder hergebe.

    :-********

  • I love this song

  • Not that it's bad, they play well and he sings well...but the laid back versions of this song just don't convey the message and feeling of the song...at least for me!

  • amazing!!

  • AWESOME!!! I watch this over & over.

  • amen, thornbell!!! opinion is subjective when it comes to art! Too many idiots think that their opinion is fact and valid, lol. I have seen it too many times. I , too have a voice and love to sing....it's those who haven't found their gift that are hard on others for finding theirs. Irony~definitley. It is human nature to analyze everything but lets not get down on those who actually DO something with their talent and succeed :) It sure would be nice for a change!....I am just sayin ;)

  • What is this? American Idol?

  • @finkbuilt This is Taratata, a french tv-show with a lot of artists. Just type it on youtube and you'll find videos. Lady Gaga, Muse, Charlie Winston, and so many others went, awesome show :)

  • Why has this complete knobhead been allowed to commit sacriledge to one of the most beautiful songs ever made - this guy, who ever the fcuk he is - has got to be a complete and utter w@nker - LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!

    There are plenty of other songs to destroy you tit.

  • @Langy24 this is an unbelievable cover....you knowledge of music is clearly limited if you can't appreciate this version...I'm not saying for a fact it's better than the cure version but in my opinion it is. Opinion is subjective when it comes to art and since yours is negative why dont you just not write anything.

  • omg  my ears can't stop bleeding. the original is the best, dinosaur jr do an awesome effort at re-imagining this song but this guy is the biggest tool that ever tooled a tool

  • FAIL

  • Your slowly killing everything great about the cure. next you should start on the beatles

  • LOLOLOLOL

  • WTF IS THIS VERSION?

    This dude should be raped for ruining one of the best songs ever. GODDAMNIT! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... This is TERRIBLE!

  • nothing special..this version is not so good

  • the cure version is much better

  • This song warms my Heart !!

  • it warms my enormous cock,

  • Look if your gonna fuck up a song please dont do it to one of the greatest songs of all time

  • What a terrible cover! I know I shall now get thumbs down from thousands of people but everyone who clicks thumbs down to my comment obviosly have no idea how good the original is.

  • @shambolene that is your opinion dude but, this is not a terrible cover. in his cover i can feel the emotion and the passion of the song..put in mind there's nothing good like the original but you need.n't be original to leave your mark.but still i respect your opinion. best cover i just loved it!

  • Yo opino que el loco canta bien, tiene una linda voz y además le rinde mucho en vivo.

    Pero yo amo esa canción y de verdad no me gusta esta version..

  • this guy sing's so good i love he's song bad day it's my heart song ! :)

  • beautiful

  • great

  • I've been listening to The Cure from the beginning and I don't mind this version at all. I kind of dig it...would I buy it, no but I wouldn't bash it at all. So, shut the fuck up.

  • agree.

  • who says we're cure fans? at least we're not fans of dick sucking or bending over. Go find a corner that's cheap enough to buy your filthy trash. It isn't wanted here.

  • I think it's cool he covered the Cure. Def good playing on the keys.

    A little sappy and over emotional, but if you want the Cure, then listen to the Cure.

  • I don't think so... THIS IS A GOOD SONG!!!

    better than the original...

  • aahahahahahaha better than the original ???? wow very badtaste man in music

  • @micahszabo

    fuck off you cock

  • actually it was by the cure originally, but usually people who did covers do an alright cover, but this was...not so good

    the piano was sick though

  • this is a complete disgrace....The Cure should sue!

  • pole smoker ........LOL

  • what a pole smoker.

  • this is my fave song ever and well i think daniel makes a good job making a cover...with his style...but still good!

  • im a big fan of he cure and i love this song, i thik this is an excellent cover, suits his style of music. good show.

  • This is a WONDERFUL Song!

  • how more can you kill a song

    sorry doesn'treally click for me.

  • @sikamous

    fuck off dildo boy

  • That's a murder for sure.

  • His voice is great, but dont like this. Sorry Daniel, not one of your best covers..

  • I think that this song is like one of those songs who can't really be the same and respect when other artist covers it, and all the other covers I've heard it sucked, because they where trying to make it sound like the cure.. where he toke it and made it a bit different which sounds good, it's a tricky song.. but I was surpriesed I found myself liking his cover.. he made it work for him

  • maybe he's ashamed of his hair... haha

  • luv his voice!!

    why does he always wear a hat??

  • he has a scar on his head..due to an accident

  • really??!!

    thx:)

  • Daniel is from my town and my friend's uncle is friends with him. He has talent and needs to start putting out more music

  • Let anyone who was born flawless or perfect, talented with a great voice step out and be the first one to comment about an imperfect singer like Daniel Powter whose only dream is to write and sing and share his songs to the world. Please respect everyone's individuality and uniqueness and stop comparing. An apple is an apple, an orange is an orange. It is so simple as that. If you don't like his music, just find somebody that you like.

  • @thornbell stfu you moron - this is probably the worst cover version ever, even the Katie Melua version is less vomit inducing than this

  • @Normskiiii I couldn't care less for your miserable existence. Who needs you when there's Daniel Powter.

  • @thornbell That's so true.

  • @thornbell well said ma brother! very well said!

  • brando1001,

    the reason why you probably havent heard of the cure is because they are an 80s goth band from england....ppl today listen to lame US pop and dont appreciate artists who have the ability write their own music for the sake of simply expressing themselves....today its about pleasing the public...which is stupid

  • Best voice!

  • SHUT UP!!!! daniel powter is awesome so just shut up on the bad comments

  • Comment removed

  • All of you SHUTUP!!! I would like to see you do better,then ill shut my mouth.Hes reallly good,and you all kno it.

  • butcher shop

  • hmmm... not the best cover of this song. Maybe he just "had a bad day." haha

  • i can't without  your music ,Daniel!

    我不能沒有你的音樂,丹尼爾!

  • malo...malo...malo!

  • hecka artists do just like heaven

  • MARAVILLOSO...!!!

  • ahhh. not half bad, not half good either

  • kuld sumboday post this vid wit the lyrics

  • i wish you could get the lyrics correctly that would be better

  • SO, so boring...

  • hes always wearing a hat cause' of the scar under it

  • Je n'aime pas trop le chapeau, mais j'aime bien le chanson. :-)

    [non, je ne suis pas fracais]

  • This Cover is SO Sweet!!

    Nothing compares to the original song, but this cover is really nice...

    other than that, i think it's a pretty decent cover.

  • he looks like adam sandler here..
