    Congrats Zaph

    Great memories of this one and hasn't aged a bit for me. Love a bit of hair metal.

    I am a big fan of them, I understand though why you wouldn't warm up to them.

    I, on the other hand, don't like/never liked the Tatu song at all, so I hope it doesn't win.

    You're not alone.

    I've actually never heard the original Robyn version.

    It's the version off Britain's Got Talent that and I know and I think his version suits the song far more.

    I won't like a video of it as I don't want to derail the thread but Calum Scott is the singer if you aren't familiar with it

    I HATE that version so much! I think he destroyed the song :o :eek: :o
    But I knew the original before the Calum Scott one, and much prefer the original!

    Ah yeah sure each to their own and all that. I knew it was a cover but just had never heard the original to have a preconceived idea of what it should sound like

    Sorry if my reply sounded harsh - but I just feel very strongly about that song and cover :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin

    They do seem to divide people a bit all right. Personally I think their first three albums are outstanding, but after they started hanging around with James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem their sound changed and I'm not such a big fan of it. I've seen them live a couple of times, their gig at The Point in 2010 was one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen.

    No, sorry, like I'm a ninety five year old ��

    The way I do it bubblypop is use the YouTube radio button. If you go advanced is the second last button from the right. When you click on it, it creates a "wrap" and you can copy/paste the YouTube link into them.

    Not sure if that makes sense :)
