light up, light up

it looks like i now only post up music videos doesn't it -_- i should really make a video tag for my blog posts.

so if you read my previous post, you'd know i don't usually approve of covers. of course there are exceptions, credit should be given where it's due, and if it's a good cover then it's a good cover la. general rule of thumb, the cover should be at least as good as the original, if not better. what's the point of covering a song and coming off sounding worse, right?

anyway, leona lewis punya new single is out, it's a cover of "run" by snow patrol. the first time i heard/knew of leona lewis, was when i listened to her version of run, the one she sang live at some radio station. i didn't know who she was, and was half-expecting a sorry version of run (yeah i was all defensive mode cos it's my favourite song mah). but leona lewis did a very good job covering the song. personally, i like the live version more than the recorded one.

live at x-factor.
it's damn awesome when a singer can sing live so amazingly.
*rolls eyes the many tweensy singers out there*


official music video here. she's so pretty =)

even if you don't exactly favour powderful diva voices, you can't deny that she's an amazing singer. unfortunately most of her songs are a waste of her voice. well at least run does it justice, as it does the song. plus, leona seems so likeable =)

i like both the original and her cover, cos they're good in different ways. having said that, the original is placed so high that it's kinda impossible to top that (plus they wrote the song!). yay rondaan salji! so let's not forget about snow patrol =)
