OneRepublic Radio 1 Live Lounge

[TheUranianMelody]

Oh I really love this cover of mery! It's amazing!

[ThePianoguy89]

He's a great vocalist! He's using head voice, not falsetto.

[ParkourPRINCE]

+ this version or duffy`s mercy is better than the origanal

[ParkourPRINCE]

i swear most ppl dont even know what the live lounge is or wats its for

[agentfishgills]

was it him who wrote umbrella for rhianna.. i think he's written loads of songs for other singers

[TheHawkdaddy]

Are they even a real band?

[hotncleverchik]

@TheHawkdaddy Yep, they are. YouTube them, they're awesome.

[MrsEbidi]

@hotncleverchik in germany they are popular :))

[Burridge96]

@MrsEbidi The first isn't a cover. Its their song.

[MrsEbidi]

@Burridge96 yes, i know :)

[chitchat174]

@TheHawkdaddy

:O how dont yu no of them???!!! THEY R AMAZIN!

[raipa111]

@TheHawkdaddy

I can't believe that you didn't know them!!

They're so great!

[katyktk8y]

Incredible vocal range!

[KohlerCampellSL]

wat a voice i love this version:) unbelievable band:!!

[ILJDPOTCRMS]

hahah hes reading the lyrics from his fone!

[aileebabe]

words cant describe how good this is....!!

[Unknownbandd]

7:00 is definatly falsetto

[k99rky]

bring back jo. great song

[MrUnderestimated93]

hes goat a great voice live as well as studio tracks

[BUFFALOBOT]

heard this when they did it on live lounge. totally awsome,they dont put good groups on anymore since the queen of the mornings and put that thick essex bimbo on is it any wonder theyhave lost all those listeners bring back jo wiley

[voteforlee]

what a badass clock

[xbernicex94]

he sounds amazin live !

[spiffcorgi]

7:24 D(5) in chest voice. he's fucking amazing!

[Jamieclapton]

@spiffcorgi he goes to head for those notes dosen't he?

[spiffcorgi]

@Jamieclapton the normal man would, he doesn't. he slides up to it in full voice. he's the freddy mercury of my generation, he's so good.

[Unknownbandd]

he slides from C to D in falsetto but he made it sound like his chest to fool you and it worked :D:D

[spiffcorgi]

it's not falsetto at all. i was debating whether or not it was mixed. he definately goes into mixed when he goes up to the F. but on the D i'm not sure. at the very least it's mixed, it is definately NOT falsetto. trust me. he barely uses straight falsetto anyway, even on the soft notes. he uses an acute mixed voice, which is more reliable.

[Unknownbandd]

i dont listen to him so i wouldnt know....and i dont really understand mixed voices to be honest. i know what it is but i cant understand it because i dont have it....alls im saying is that its definatly not his chest voice ;)

[paulefty]

@spiffcorgi I think it's the mix register? Sounds like it to me... Still.. It's INSANE. Mad props to Ryan Tedder. He rocks... Big time.

[Unknownbandd]

nah hes in falsetto there but it still sounds great!!!

[blueballoon77]

lol that would be funny if he was texting..it would be a classic inapropriate time to text xD

[arkaakaas]

If it was a joke then the joke is a good one.

[cinematicrazorsharpp]

He's not texting! He's reading the lyrics of the song off his phone!

[rionaribena]

They rocked mercy!! Brilliant!!

[JohnnyJLara]

hes reading the lyrics not texting

[hany259]

is he freakin texting while singing

[spiffcorgi]

@hany259 that would be fucking hardcore. people should do that more often. maybe even make a phone call in the middle of the song :P

[sxcyunwan]

Wats Wi Ala Dese Songs Nt Bein In Sync

Its Sooo Annoyin

[MoPrice3]

not as annoyin as you writing like that......

[T3hJam]

[schflob]

mercy is better than the original, but duffy annoys the hell out of me anyway..

stop and stare was awesome too

[Tonibunnie44]

[jennybaker83]

I love this song :)

[spiffcorgi]

[xoxoxAngelxoxox]

I love Ryan!

Such an awesome live lounge, his voice is great in this, better than the overproduced single versions!

And the mercy cover is brilliant, I was getting sick of the original!

:)

[despoinaki4]

hahaha he;s reading the lyrics

[duckdo1]

i luv ryan tedder he's gorgeous

[Hanroonah]

That was sooo good!

[Karaokeloverjen]

[raphaelproductions]

[LisaByrne18]

He's amazing....<3 ryan!!

[helloo242]

[amunra02]

[rfgstl]

AMAZING!! I saw them in concert, so much better live.

[jayne2309]

I lovve these covers - very very good! (:

[Papagenush]

hotncleverchik, i think duffy's mercy was a remake of an old song. Not sure if its titled mercy but i know the melody and song were pretty much the same...

[hotncleverchik]

Really? That's interesting...

[JimmyPDodga]

d'you know that's the second time I've heard that so maybe it's true?

[blondie1128]

it's not actually a cover it just samples the bass line from Stand by Me

[Devikararawr]

now, THAT is impressive.x

[DominocS]

they are even MOOORE better live! Love this song... heartache

[sineadx11]

he's the spitting image of duffy!

[holzandIz]

he is spitting image of my boyfriend! (:

[cosywilly]

at times he sounds like he's not so sure about the song... but his voice is amazing anyway... can't believe he can actually sing the chorus in the original tone... wow

[bwb934]

does he have the lyrics on his phone ?

[hotncleverchik]

Yeh I think so lolz

[chitchat174]

@bwb934

nope

[willlll89]

wow nice cover RADIO 1 FOREVER!!!!!

[00pturnerj]

love the way that "hotncleverchik" is commenting on behalf of one republic. like its her song. ha!

wicked cover

[hotncleverchik]

lolz, well I uploaded the vid, so I feel that I have to...

jk jk!

=D

Yeh I think so too lolz.

[frinton1959]

i like the mercy cover; good on him for trying!

[camdaman2805]

u kno i herd him on tv at concert

i think it mite have been ameican idol, and he was soooooo bad on the chorus of apolagize.. it was cringin to listen to

still good

p.s im not hatin but it was pretty bad

[subsufmonru]

phwaaar!!!

dayyyym

waheeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy

arrrggggggggggggghhhhh!

luv em.

[alldaylocalbloke]

Mercy was written by a bloke I expect.

[m207nguyen]

They are sooooooooooo AMAZING!!!! I've never seen so skilled pop musicians! 1R 4ever!

[TexasTarheel1993]

He totally ruined Duffy's song. He is a shame to Wales singers!

[Leightonowen7]

Im Welsh, and i dont think he is a shame at all, they done a really good cover version of Mercy.

[lynsb3]

fookin xlent x

[sarah4eva]

Immense voice, immense cover! Better than the original IMO

[terrythewizard1R]

lol they sing the original stop and stare is onerepublics song...u might know that but i was just tellin u cuz how u worded it sounded like u didnt know they wrote this song its theres..haha just lettin u know ;)

[hotncleverchik]

I think that person was talkin abt Mercy

[phoska]

he sings really really well live...

[EmilyBaybeexo]

I actually hate the original by dufffy.

Although I LOVE this one.

Good job.

And by the way ktb666 most people on radio 1 live lounge do that - change it to suit their gender.

Good Job though (Y)

[swf91]

think its gr8 the way hes readin the lyrics on his fone haha

[ktb666]

what a dick saying woman not man- oh cant say anything remotely gay.. twat

[R00G00]

LOL what? even rightfully changing lyrics to fit your gender is offensive now. lol geez

[Aardvarked88]

You're the twat, the song was about heterosexual love, not about homosexual love. Changing the lyrics was entirely appropriate and people do it all the time when covering songs from people of other genders.

[ajxd12345]

Amazing cover but duffys is a little better

[Lumberjackish123]

Wow a black Cello!

[m1zzlala]

that is what you call music and than he sings it soooooooooooooooo WELL!

[xXxMissBrightsidexXx]

His voice...

Is just beautiful... :]

Btw, Mercy is great. :D

[hotncleverchik]

I kno rite?

[Jasmingers06]

such a goood cover , haha jaz..(personal joke)

[Rozzaface]

Haha Mercy was brilliant.

[fiona1444]

its prob the lyrics!!

[mars213]

is it sync?

[nadz876]

Lol.. he has the lyrics on them, they only just heard the song the day before they performed this so he kept the lyrics on his blackberry :)

[evilchickenclyde]

It's funny that he's on his phone! lol and singin a song he barely knows, with a phone like his it probs has the lyrics on em or summat lol

[iheartriley101]

lol, hes prob multitasking by texting his mates while hes performing ;)

[LollyLouLa]

Their cover of Mercy is so much better than the original!!! think Duffys voice ruins it!!

[hotncleverchik]

LOL!

[krazyforyou12]

WHOA he sounds great doing mercy !!!!! is duffy's mercy a cover of another song ? if so, by who ?

[hotncleverchik]

No duffy's is original.

[DinoSawAnna]

Wow, you say LOL alot xD

But yeah, I love it when bands do covers <3

They always sound great aswell,

[hotncleverchik]

LOL I do. Ok, i just stopped myself from saying it again! Yeh, they do! Sorry I've got to... LOL.

[marquessfan0077a]

[abcfredxyz]

[kieranthegreatest]

[hotncleverchik]

[gtirona]

[FischerinBodensee]

[hotncleverchik]

LOL

[Nichole888]

This guy is AMAZING !!!

I can't help smiling throughout Mercy. lol

[clouston666]

if he was a solo artist i dare say it, he could rival michael buble

[hotncleverchik]

LOL maybe...

[ariel5858]

he's a much better singer then buble

[kiwi21girl]

I think he should sing more songs like this! Absolutely perfect!!!

[Asizka]

Wow!I love their version of "mercy",much better than by Duffy.Ryan is very talented singer.Thanks for posting this video! :)

[sarahadamsyer]

how good are they doing mercy!

love it!

[Roonay3000]

Heyy, please can someone send me an MP3 of their cover of Mercy please? Thanxs xo

[XxJaretBFSxX]

i can, PM me ur email and i'll send it =]

[davebasstna]

Their version of Mercy is amazing, I like it even more than Duffy's version

[lilbeckyboo12]

OneRepublic are great and the cover of Mercy is awesome! xD

[xcelloxcellox]

I hate OneRepublic.

[XxJaretBFSxX]

i hate people who look up vids they don't like just to insult them, saddo

[xcelloxcellox]

I hate you. My friend sent this to me!

Gosh!

I wanted to see what she was talking about >_>

[XxJaretBFSxX]

no need to start insulting them though, just cuz they are not ur cup of tea. They work hard at what they do and deserve credit for it.

What do you do thats so great?

[xcelloxcellox]

I play the cello... very well.

[XxJaretBFSxX]

well i'm sure you wouldn't like it if people slated you because you didn't play the sort of music they like, even though you were good would you.

And clearly lack of confidence isn't a problem for you, pfft.

[xcelloxcellox]

I like the music they play... And I wouldn't care. You can play just about anything on the cello...

[XxJaretBFSxX]

Well they deserve some respect, they are good musicians whether you like them or not

[xcelloxcellox]

Well... I kinda regret what I said about hating them. I don't hate them, I hate most of the songs though.

[XxJaretBFSxX]

k then fair enough =]

[xcelloxcellox]

=) heck ya!

[tikkytaylor]

wat a ramdoner

[hotncleverchik]

Well, then I guess you didn't have to watch it if u didn't want to...

[xcelloxcellox]

idk... I only like Apologize.

[hotncleverchik]

oh ok... the 2nd song isn't their's, it's a cover of another song.

[xcelloxcellox]

Whoah people really don't understand that I just DON'T like them... seeing as my two comments got 5 - altogether...

[PreciousPrincess1992]

The Mercy cover is AMAZING. Wow Ryan sings it perfectley!! Bless him reading the lyrics off his phone though lol :D

[tomathyloverblerogue]

heheh i hadn't noticed that lol :) so pleased to see he is human lol i was getting worried he was some form of higher being :p

[hotncleverchik]

Yeh LOL!

[tomathyloverblerogue]

stop and stare goooooooooooooooood!

[hotncleverchik]

[AllyH015]

I love Stop and Stare!!!
