Been meaning to blog this for ages now but just never got around to doing it. Ripped and edited a video of Leona's live performance from YouTube ages ago though. Haha. Ke-semangat-an. Was throughly obsessed lah. But enough talking. Meet February's music craze.
NOTE: WATCH. IT. Cos listening to it on mp3 just
doesn't do this song or the diva who sang it justice.

Originally written and performed by Snow Patrol.
Haunting, isn't it? Totally made my bulu roma naik the first time I heard it. Can't imagine what it must have been like to be there in the audience. *shiver* But then again, you can't really go wrong with an already awessum song with awessum lyrics, no? Good stuff just got better. Sure, the original was a lot more emo and melancholic and some parts carry different lyrics but... on a whole, it's got it's own magic going on, too.
But aargh, Leona's rendition makes me miss
helping out with the worship team in church. =(
p/s: If Snow Patrol isn't your thing and you've no idea what the original sounds like cos you're so mainstream you poop Pop, click *here* to have a listen.

Granted, it was a terrific vocal performance but wattahell, she juz didnt do justice to that song. It juz didnt convey the same emotion. Emotion. Juz didnt hold a candle to SP.
Its like u ask LL to sing a sombre song at a funeral and she does a Bohemian Rhapsody opera style.
Enuff of me being crossed wif LL for defiling that song, whhy not some nice sugar coated song The Cure style, with:
The Black Kids.
HELLO PAM! nah i prefer snow patrol's version much much more. its because of this rendition by Leona Lewis that has made me dislike her so much actually :/

Eh, you no fair lah you. You just like em because they're boys. You no like girl singer. Boo.

ok, ok, please pardon me for being blunt earlier.
Bottomline is, it was too epic, in contrast, SP sounded real... genuine end of story.
Spasm, could i interest you with Laura Marling then?
