Posted November 30, 20195 yr The finalists for The X Factor Celebrity have recorded a cover of Leona Lewis’ version of Run (originally by Snow Patrol). Proceeds from the single are going towards Together for Short Lives and Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. Q_ee4lrg8eQ A great version and that little girl at the end is just :heart:
November 30, 20195 yr I wouldn’t say a great version. It’s some mediocre vocals singing over the instrumental of Leona Lewis’s cover of it. The little girl at the end save’s it.
November 30, 20195 yr I love the original and also Leonas version. This isn't a patch on these 2 but I like it.
December 1, 20195 yr ^agree can the factor producers get more lazy, a cover of a cover they've already done... find something else
December 1, 20195 yr ^agree can the factor producers get more lazy, a cover of a cover they've already done... find something else To be fair Leona didn’t cover it on xfactor, it was the lead single for the re release of her debut album so not really anything to do with xfactor and their producers
December 1, 20195 yr At least it’s for a good cause? Y’all stop moaning That's not an excuse for a lazy, mediocre cover though. They can raise money for charity and put some effort in recording a decent song.
December 1, 20195 yr ^Exactly, the cause and the song are separate entities and terrible songs for good causes shouldn't be exempt from criticism as they often (especially from Simon Cowell) are lazy and dreadful.
December 1, 20195 yr It’s horrific... but hopefully it sells well and makes money for the two incredible charities it is supporting and promoting :love:
December 2, 20195 yr how? with a zero from streams? it's like #700 on Apple and not top 200 on Spotify Daily iTunes sales for #1 are just 1K normally, this is doing 3 times more, so that's 3k a day but not more... just stop 40 is the max they can get
December 2, 20195 yr Author It’s also nearly 2 days behind on sales opportunity as it came out at 9pm on Saturday. It probably won’t peak any higher than what it gets this week, but at the end of it all it’s to raise money for charity and any chart impact is a bonus
December 6, 20195 yr Well if this wasn't the third nail in the coffin before (the fourth obviously being that 'The Band' starting next week which is sure to be awful) then it is now. How far things fall in 10 years.

Wow that was worthwhile.
