I was certainly hoping for some more instruments than just a piano. <_<

What a HUGE disappointment. This version could have been a real moment with King-styled production and some extra bells and whistles, camped up.

 

Not what I wanted at all.

I really like this, it is kinda strange to come back after all this time with a cover though ...

^ Pretty sure it's just to promote the TV series 'It's a Sin' which Olly stars in.

I kinda like how simple it is...

I prefer the original, I like to this how this version will do in the charts.

It's not a 'proper single' so probably won't chart at all I'd imagine.

I was expecting a full on dancier cover.... but given the programme that its for and the topic I can see why the stripped back version was done.

 

I think its good though; Olly's voice is great. I can see this getting a big bump later tonight when the show airs etc.

I love their version of It's A Sin. The Pet Shop Boys version is, of course, brilliant but I'm glad they've decided to do it very differently.

Oh ok, that makes sense :lol:

I'm starting to appreciate this now I've gotten over it not being what I initially wanted/expected.

 

Really looking forward to seeing the first episode of the show this evening.

I quite like this on first listen. Tbh the PSB original does everything this track could ever do in terms of OTT pop so I'd rather have this stripped back version than just a worse upbeat version of the original.

agree, theres no way they were ever gonna beat the original with an uptempo version

Yeah I'm appreciating it a lot more now, I suppose an upbeat cover by them wouldn't be that dissimilar from the original anyway

I'm liking this even more now I've watched the show, it makes a lot more sense :(

I listened to this after watching the show and it makes complete sense — a sombre companion piece.

is this in the show? cos I don't recall hearing it while watching the show

No I don't think it was, as blacksquare says it's more of a companion piece I think

I've just realised how much I dislike his voice.

They only played a short segment of the original on the show as well!
