January 31, 201312 yr I vote we all donate a couple of quid to Comic Relief and download the Blondie original to sabotage this on week of release...
January 31, 201312 yr Nice of you to judge it AFTER listening to it. :) I have every faith in them that they'll make this sound great. I'll probz love it anyway, cause I'm a loon like that, though. :lol:
January 31, 201312 yr They're releasing it a month before Comic Relief on February 17th so they have a chance to give it a boost with a BRITs performance on February 20th. Could help it keep a bit stable for the first month too even if it doesn't hit #1. :mellow: If One Direction beat Avicii to #1 that would be a massive :manson: moment. If this is true hopefully Avicii is taking notes and releases a week earlier. ;) Edited January 31, 201312 yr by 2013 Thermometer
January 31, 201312 yr I vote we all donate a couple of quid to Comic Relief and download the Blondie original to sabotage this on week of release... Because that's so mature and is really going to do something, isn't it? :huh: Why would Avicii go to #1? The song seems like it will be a hit but it doesn't seem like it will be a #1 as well... But anyway, I have a feeling that this is going to be very GOOD.
January 31, 201312 yr I vote we all donate a couple of quid to Comic Relief and download the Blondie original to sabotage this on week of release... Or people who like the song buy it...? I'm not looking forward to hearing this because the original IS great, but I'm not going to deny it if it is good. Their BRITs performance will most likely be great anyway.
February 1, 201312 yr What I don't get about it is their such a popular band, why not record original material for the occasion? Not so over done cover, that frankly, isn't that great anyway.
February 2, 201312 yr What I don't get about it is their such a popular band, why not record original material for the occasion? Not so over done cover, that frankly, isn't that great anyway. This is their first cover released as a single though ('Heroes' and 'Wishing On A Star' don't really count as they were The X Factor Finalists' singles). And I'm sure you've heard the single too?
February 3, 201312 yr Is this being released in the US? I know typically Comic Relief songs are released only in the UK (and perhaps Ireland) but I saw that this is already charting on pre-orders on the Aus iTunes.
February 3, 201312 yr Is this being released in the US? I know typically Comic Relief songs are released only in the UK (and perhaps Ireland) but I saw that this is already charting on pre-orders on the Aus iTunes. i think it's UK only (might change though) and the next single in the US is Kiss You
February 3, 201312 yr Sounds exactly as you'd expect, I've always liked this song and I like 1D so I'm not complaining really...
February 5, 201312 yr It was actually going quite well until they blended it into "Teenage Kicks". The production on "One Way or Another" sounds like it'll be great though (which, let's be honest, is the main selling point of their singles). I'll wait for the HQ version before making a final judgement, but in future, this is how "One Way or Another" should be mashed-up: Z5SkXW3ZkYQ
February 6, 201312 yr It's actually awful! I didn't think anything could be as bad as Gotta Be You... but this is 100% more awful! Two brilliant songs - ruined! Love Kiss You though, think that song is brilliant!
February 7, 201312 yr Its actually alright until the na na bits come up and then the song is just ruined... :[
February 7, 201312 yr Is this being released in the US? I know typically Comic Relief songs are released only in the UK (and perhaps Ireland) but I saw that this is already charting on pre-orders on the Aus iTunes. It will probably appear on a repackaged version of the album for the yanks. It's not very good though. No conviction to what they are singing about and it adds nothing to the original. They should if just released an original track
February 7, 201312 yr I don't like it ether very much, but I will make my final judgement once I hear a song in high quality. AND I'm interested how will they perform it live - Zayn was absolutely terrible when I heard him singing it live in Japan on 1 Youtube clip . However, Comic Relief almost always has covers for singles (with 1 or 2 exceptions). so I am not surprised One Direction is also releasing a cover.
