  • Polacy kochają ten utwór!

  • i am actually colorblind.

  • Scientists say intelligent people listens to Counting Crows ;)

  • Cruel Intentions...... Great song..... Wish my love would come along sometime ):

  •  If you compare, Leona is just trying to emulate the emotion that Adam Duritz originally conveyed. Also saying that someone that didn't write the song interprets it better than the person that wrote it is just.. rude. BTW Leona's version didn't even get the melody correct... and she adds these awful pronounciations to the end of some pretty easy words... I think more ppl need to realize she covered the song because it means something to her, not because she is better.. in this case.. at all.

  • hello, i am 15 years old and i'm here to say sorry for what most of my generation call 'music' this is the true meaning of music, and it is one of my favourites ever :) <3

  • I love Leona's version, as well as this of course. But, it's true, people won't know the original (well the younger generation anyway.)

  • Spectacular song, so many emotions that it touches on

  • I really love this song it makes me happy in a way.(-:

  • Over a 9 million views for this song is way to far... Everybody should here this song.

  • the sadest bit is when he sayes "i am covered in skin and no one can come in :( <3

  • they should put a rainbow...but it has no color,that would be a finishing touch!

  • I like both the Leona version and Counting Crows, but I actually like Leona's a little better. The way she interprets the song hits me more emotionally than this one does. I think it's the richness of her voice.

  • between the buried and me's cover of this song was amazing, just perfection.

  • this song makes me think of high school and that was 11 years ago.. holy shit i'm turning into my parents

  • I think this version sounds a lot more heartfelt, something to do with the key it's being sung in. I do like leona's version, but this one's better, I think.

  • This song is about the extremes that exist within us ("Coffee black and egg white"), our unwillingness to reveal them ("Taffy stuck and tongue tied, stutter shook and uptight"), the defenses we put up to keep people from seeing our true natures ("I am covered in skin, no one gets to come in"), and the terrifying bliss when we let our defenses down to someone we love ("Pull me out from inside, I am ready, I am fine"). Colorblind is the state in which we are no longer judging our inner feelings.

  • Between the buried and me do a great cover of this song, I actually like it more than this version

  • i just found this song, then i looked at the leona version. its garbage compaired to this

  • hey where did you get some of these pictures?

  • great song

    

  • Man This Is Such A Good Song I Can't Get Over It :D

  • I'm sad..thank you<3.

  • I thought I couldn't love photography anymore than I already do, but when I play this video I fall in love with it even deeper.

  • So raw with emotion it gets me everytime.

  • This song is about suicide.

  • @bloodymack15 On leona lewis's LP of the three songs including this,it states that they are covers and if someone doesn't know they aren't covers then they don't really know the real music!!

  • counting crows and leona lewis sing the song different. counting crow fans prefer counting crows, leona lewis fans prefer leona lewis, no need to discuss who's better. it's just a matter of taste. and to the top commenters and ignorant leona lewis fans (I'm a leona fan too, just saying); leona lewis said they were covers, she never said she wrote them!

  • 1.07 looks like a penis

  • c'est terrible cette chanson...elle me donne l'impression de voler au dessus des nuages et de voir le mondes avec sa cruauté et sa beauté ^^

  • hey could people check out my version of this song :) thankss it will mean a lot

  • Youtube needs a repeat button

  • @natalie21178 just put a repeat in front of youtube. Voila there is your repeat button (:

  • @natalie21178 youtube has a repeat button

  • Thumbs up for the original version of the song.

    Leonas wasn't that bad, but it's def. nothing compared to this.

  • @JamesCmuse Oh, and by opinion, I meant the opinions voiced about how cover music in general either can or cannot be better than the original, in noway degrading or targeting the Counting Crows version. So please, calm down before the image of Counting Crows is tarnished by your hostile words.

  • @JamesCmuse Stop trolling, your opinion doesn't matter. pedrenriqueR's first comment ended with "Peace!", and if you read it, you would have realized that there was no hostility towards fans of Counting Crows, just backing up Lewis by properly informing that proper credit was given for the song, unlike what a current top comment says. Then, there was the matter of opinion. I'm sorry, but just because someone defends their opinion does not make them a "whiney little bitch".

  • I hate Leona Lewis' music...I haven't listened to her version yet but she had better not have ruined it

  • 402 people have no idea the perfection of this song.

  • I like Leona but she took all the raw emotion out of this song. It's my favorite of the CC, nothing will match it.

  • FUCK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT IS "Cruel Intentions"

  • this song is gorgeous. ahhh the way some music hits the soul <3

  • leona who?? oh yeah simons minion

  • Leona and Counting Crows are both amazing. Leona loves counting crows, that's why she made a cover of the song. she is a fan like you and me. so no hate. But let's not deny that she has done a good job.

  • this song always has the ability to bring to tears, such an emotional song. and a beautiful voice. and sounds even better live. leonas version makes me want to punch her, CC songs should never be touched

  • the beginning (piano) reminds me of the song Someone Like you by Adele.

  • Personally I prefer Leona's version *shrugs*

  • I love this song :)

  • I heard Leona Lewis' version. It doesn't know on a scare 1-1000 Counting crows is 2000 and she is more like 50. The piano is speed up in her version. Its like speeding up Miles Davis; just shouldn't be done.

  • love this song... great voice

  • wtf is cruel intentions?

  • @somehowresponsible seriously? ....are you fucking kidding me?

  • @somehowresponsible just the best movie ever?! 

  • CRUEL INTENTIONS *-*

  • Cruel Intensions, Leona Lewis... I got it from my dance teacher. Thank you very much!

  • Leona Lewis aint got SHIT on Counting Crows! Cruel intentions brought me here years ago.

  • Cruel Intentions

  • Leona Lewis these nuts...lol Cruel Intentions Brought Me here:)

  • Comment removed

  • Why cant leona lewis stick to her shitty pop ffs

  • @MsLolsummer69

    I know right...agghhh1

  • there is no justification for a dislike.

  • Thank you Leona Lewis for introducing me to such a beautiful song ! This original version is giving me goosebumps !

  • <3 this is a beautiful song . I used to play it on the piano :)

  • For a second there, the piano sounded like Adele's Turning Table.

  • I wish newer artists were required to say on albums who has performed or created the songs they are doing. There will be few things annoying me more that Leona Lewis fans thinking she wrote this song!!

  • @bloodymack15 They're called liner notes and every album has them...

  • i have nothing against leona but i just wish she wasn't doing this song

    It's already as beautiful, fragile and as perfect as it could get

    I don't want all of leonas little fans all over this song covering it saying its by leona lewis

    it's counting crows song, and it's beautiful

  • @basicallyimbeth well said. nothing could replace the way this song already is. no cover, not leona lewis, could ever catch up to the beauty of this song.

  • @basicallyimbeth Well, we, true fans of Leona, know that this song isn't hers. She's made en EP of COVERS, giving the credits to the artists who recorded the original versions of the 3 songs. :)

    And it's just a question of opinion the fact that you think it's better by Counting Crows. People might disagree and you just have to respect that. No fights, no worries, no angries. I am JUST SAYING... :)

    Peace!

  • @pedrenriqueR Covers of songs are never better then the originals, that's not an opinion sweetie, that's a fact. The song was written by them, which means that everything included in the song is coming from real experience and feeling, you can hear that in his voice...lets be honest here, Leona will never be able to level with that.

  • @basicallyimbeth HAHAHAHAHA

    Are u kidding me? Leona can write, but the fact is SHE DOESN'T NEED! Her voice is such her biggest emotional weapon, and it's waaaaay better than the most of those singers....

    And, about the cover stuff... Honestly, sometimes it doesn't work a song in someone else's voice, but not ALWAYS, ok? And it's NOT a fact, cause music is not a science.

  • @pedrenriqueR you are deluded. Stop laughing at others opinions, what kind of person are you? You seem to be getting so upset from people commenting against Leona. The fact of the matter is these are Counting Crows fans and we're not going out of our way to make you see our opinions, so how about you fucking give it a rest, grow up, and stop being such a whiney little bitch. This is a beautiful song, take your Leona comments to her version of the song and sit there in bliss. Seriously.

  • @JamesCmuse First of all: i'm not upset. Second: i'm not laughing at other's opinion. Third: don't wanna fight because of this. You should read the comments and get a conclusion of who is really depreciating other's opinion, and here's a clue, it's NOT ME., you should do this instead of saying those shits. I don't laugh at others opinion, but I do laugh at supid people... like you. Ha. End of conversation.

  • @pedrenriqueR I wasn't talking about the depreciation of opinions. Don't know what region of your arse you pulled that one from. I was just saying take Leona talk elsewhere because you're disturbing some of the fans here by distributing your opinion but not considering the opinions of others before you lash back and retaliate with mocking comments. Just take it elsewhere, nobody here wants to here it. It doesn't make me stupid, it makes you rude. Go away.

  • hear*

    

  • @basicallyimbeth She did the exact same thing with Snow Patrol's "Run".

  • nooo not leona lewis :/

  • Comment removed

  • Has anyone else opened a new tab and typed in Natalie Walker's version and then play it together? The timing is a bit off because hers is a bit faster but it sounds GREAT when you're able to put it together. Try it!

  • @whatsthatnoisemane Thanks for the suggestion!

  • @ip900 No problem :)

  • i love this song and this band and this movie! i never thought Sarah Michelle Gellar would be a sexy bad girl! fuck it, its sexy as hellX) and Sebastian is hot too:)

  • This is such a emotional song

  • Lol at all of the people talking about some washed up bitch.

  • I love this song

  • this song iz wonderfull,if u disagree fuck ur mother lol.

  • At first, I thought this song may have been an anti-racism song. LOL

  • i do think leonas version is good but nobody could redo this song and make it better !!! this is one of my best songs by counting crows and that is saying something !!

  • FFS!!! Someone write Leona frakkin Lewis some material so she can stop ruining the songs I love so much - she desecrated SP's Run and now she's going to howl all the way through Colorblind - I have nothing against covers when they're treated with sensitivity ♥

  • @Janinalittlewolf and after hearing Leona's cover Snow Patrol stated that the song is hers so she must be doing something right. Just be glad Leona is the one covering these songs and not someone like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga.

  • love this song!!!

  • Leoana Lewis just killed that song... -.- The worst cover I've ever heard. Kick a Bull in the balls and it'd sound better

  • cruel intentions is one of my faveourite films ever, and this song and placebo - every you every me are my faveourite songs of the film XD

  • leona's version is so good and yes this video is going to be flooded with shitty leona lewis fans because we love her and we want all of the world to hear her voice it is not about anything else only her voice ... by the way her last album echo didn't gain that much profit and her is she coming back with an ep and glassheart album on 26 march .... she is an amazing woman

  • Great now this video is going to be flooded with shitty Leona Lewis fans.

  • i dont care how many people cover this song, nothing can ruin such an amzing song.

  • @TheThuomas so am I

  • I really am colorblind :(

  • lord people make all these stupid comments when they for get to listen to a good song all i can do is shake my head and just blame the train of thought of today's viewing and forgetting what Peace is ......

  • lol there a leona-hater @stanconsidine who just jealous bout her success, her voice and her talent,,, face the true dude,,, don said those fucking thing till you listen to the cover!

  • @K93Mall

    Talent?

    Yeah, I'll respect her talent in being able to make an EP out of ripped-off songs and make disgusting amounts of money off of other people's successes.

    So talented.

  • Leona Lewis brought me here !!

  • Leona Lewis brought me here, amazing song , love this, looking forward to hearing Leonas version. Keeping a great song alive and re-inventing it, so dont hate, just enjoy :)

  • @DanScot19 FUCK LEONA LEWIS, SHES AN XFACTOR SKANK

  • @stanconsidine wooooh someone is jealous if her talent, haha leona is going to do a fantastic job, look out for it :)

  • @stanconsidine I think you mean she is a world wide international super star that got a number one in 32 different countries :) LEONAS VERSION OF THIS SONG IS FANTASTIC! it will bring people back to THIS original and not let it fade away... surely people want that?! so why HATE.

  • beautiful adam

  • Best music for rainy days. 

  • I LOVE THIS SONG! However, doesn't any one care that the uploader is banking off of someone elses music? Youtube clearly states you can't put up ads on music that is not yours. WTF!! 9mil views = $9,000 give or take, fuck I'm jealous.

  • Leona Lewis brought me here

  • @K93Mall leona lewis is an xfactor skank, dont compare her to this band thanks

  • @stanconsidine skank? u;re talking bullshit,,, keep ur mouth shut thanks

  • @K93Mall no i wont shut up thanks u ignorant cunt, just because you dont agree with my opinion doesnt make it bullshit, leona lewis is just another xfactor skank that rips off the music of real music artists because she cant write a song herself... has she a good voice? I DONT GIVE A FUCK! shes just another xfactor skank...

  • @stanconsidine Leona Lewis will actually take again what is a good song and make it EPIC !

  • @saxman25o its not her song, all her music is cheesy shite written by some typical pop music moron, so now she is ripping off the music of real music artists like a typical xfactor skank

  • @stanconsidine basically what this guy said

  • @saxman25o Leona will take what is a great song as lifelessly make it a vocal exercise with no emotion or depth.

  • Adele was not the first to make such emotional ballads... Love it so much.

  • Leona Leona is gonna KILL IT!!!

    MY queennnnn! Can't wait for HURT EP!

    Out 9th December..

  • @damndumn Uh yeah, she shouldn't even touch this song, it's not for her... in any way shape or form... she shouldn't even be listening to it o_o

  • i love this song so much, aaaah

  • One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!

  • Every time I hear this song i get chills.

  • Whatever this song is about, it has to be one of the best love songs ever made.

  • @Kellims313 It's hardly a love song.

  • @XceptingDeniall I realize that. It's just the way it sounds. If the lyrics were different, it would be a good love song.

  • @Kellims313 Its perfect the way it is. 

  • btbams cover sounds beter

  • Adam...thanks for making the world a better place.

  • The worst thing about this song is that it ends!

  • Just bought us tickets for their concert, can you send me the $200 tonight?

  • listen to Between the Buried and Me's version. I like it better than the original.

    you know what, listen to all of BTBAM's music
