January 20, 20178 yr That's kind of it in a nutshell, his version literally zaps all the meaning from the song. It's like he's not even connecting with the words he's singing. The sad thing is that a great majority of the British public would probably think the opposite. :( For instance, this comment on Robyn's YouTube video page for DOMO: "Calum knew the emotion in the song unlike the singer/composer.. The lyrics are good. But the beauty of the song can only truly come out if The singer/Composer felt what it meant. And Calum Did exactly that...". :drama: For the record I don't hate Calum's version, it's ok, but his take on it makes it sound like he's given up all hope, whereas Robyn sounds so much more defiant, and I prefer that sentiment. (Summarised nicely by another YouTube comment: "This original version has so much fight and passion. The cover is for victims." :kink: )
February 1, 20178 yr It's loads and loads better than Dancing On My Own, but still awful. I'm one of few fans on here for DOMO
February 1, 20178 yr I'm one of few fans on here for DOMO Did you not get bored of it after it hanging around so long?
March 5, 20178 yr Randomly back in the iTunes chart at #105 - Are they still pushing this? They should have moved on to the next release already.
March 5, 20178 yr Author Impact date has been pushed back to 28th April so it has plenty of time to do something/get playlisted _ItUrGpQhEM Edited March 5, 20178 yr by lewistgreen
March 5, 20178 yr I'm really annoyed that this wasnt a hit for him. Coz we'll probably get more, terrible covers from him :puke:
March 5, 20178 yr Impact date has been pushed back to 28th April so it has plenty of time to do something/get playlisted _ItUrGpQhEM What a random release strategy? The single was released and charted in December, the video released in January, it was track of the day on R1 in early January and impact date is the end of April? They have also released 4 versions of the song (2 remixes, acoustic and single version between December - January).
March 5, 20178 yr Hmm, I wonder if they've pushed it back so they can have him perform it on the BGT live shows?
March 5, 20178 yr Hmm, I wonder if they've pushed it back so they can have him perform it on the BGT live shows? I mean even so, surely they might as well release another new track as it's pretty obvious at this point that Rhythm Inside is going nowhere any time soon? the impact date is ridiculous, if nobody would have said otherwise I'd have thought it was some point in December or something. -x- shame this has done nothing, I actually really like it, which is a surprise considering how horrendous Dancing On My Own was.
