Leona took one of the most understated and beautiful ballads of the decade and turned it into an average, overbloated, bland tune with added Leona oversinging, to boot.
How ANYONE here could possibly think that Leona's version is better than the original is beyond me.
Oh, wait, it's ATRL. Of course.
! Amazing post to start off December! That's just what everyone wanted to say really? I don't mind Leona's version, I don't hate it, but c'mon you can't deny Snow Patrol's masterpiece compared to Leona's cover version. Seriously, it got over blown because she done the Live Lounge on Radio 1. So many artists have done so many better covers and they don't get released e.g. Dizzee Rascal's cover of "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings and Lily Allen's cover of "Naive" by The Kooks.

Sorry you're entitled to your opinion, but I feel the need to quote you on the following

You know nothing. Look at the lead on iTunes right now. She turned a boring and lifeless song into something special.
As I am sure many have heard only SP's version of the song
But judging by the sucess of both versions, the majority at the moment seem to prefer the Leona version, as do I

No Leona turned a modern classic into an over blown piece of nonsense that is being called a masterpiece. Seriously, is every single Leona ballad a ****ing masterpiece? No. I do like Leona's version, like 47% out of 100. But even at that, if Snow Patrol's version was released in the download ages, Snow Patrol would be selling that too !

I understand that. Leona has a very strong alliance of fans in both the UK and Ireland. She does have a good voice but these sales are ridiculous. And this is nothing personal to Leona, but I think anyone who covers a song and gets that much sales is just stupid. Because the same song has already been released, and has done completely nothing. I don't care much for cover versions, seeing as ones like this are selling this much but Snow Patrol's stayed in the top 75 for 11 weeks in 2004, and an extra week in 2008.

Leona's version is a masterpiece. I feel sorry for you if you can't see that...
The popularity bar on iTunes is HUGE!! The biggest I think I've ever seen!

Seriously your blinded by a cover version, ****ing sit down and listen to some real music. One more thing that's pissing me off is if Leona is such a wonderful songwriter, she wouldn't need to ****ing release cover versions now would she? No. Sit the **** down now!
Poor Britney. She's struggling to overtake Take That. HAHA
Poor you, honestly your nowhere near clever. No one expects Britney to take over Take That? Has anyone said that? No. But then again only the smart Britney fans know that. But some delusional Leona fans still think the Earth is flat.

Seriously do you have your own opinions on anything?
Last month you described her rendition as breathtaking, now you describe it as an over blown piece of nonsense
