New OneRepublic!
Filed under: Listen To ThisThey had one of the biggest songs of 2007 with Apologize, but OneRepublic ain't no one-hit wonder.
We bought their album and it's good. Real good. It's filled with radio-friendly songs that are bound to make them one of the breakout acts of '08.
OneRepublic are like the American version of Coldplay, and that's a big compliment.
Click here to watch the just-released video for their great song Stop and Stare.

Really cool
great song
Yeah!!!!
IT SUCKSS
IT SUCKSS
yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the next coldplay? really? come on. They are just as put together as the backstreet boys in the late 90's!!! Not a real band, just another Trl band.
i've loved this song for awhile now so im so happy they made it their next single
Great song. Weird video…
Love it!!!!! Such a pretty song! One Republic won't stop at Apologize, or Stop and Stare! The whole album is gorgeous! Keep it comin'! I just wish that they couldve taken more credit for Apologize, and not Timbaland.
It's a little slow….Dude has a good voice though.
i like
its alright…the new one is betta
wow…please don't ever compare these people to coldplay ever again. ever.
did some people think onerepublic would be rappers after the whole timba. deal
this song has been out for a while, and so has this group. You're a little outdated perez.
They're not a TRL band… The lead singer has written songs for practically everyone in the music biz, and they actually write their own music, and play their own instruments… novel idea.. Let me guess joe, you probably like britney spears

I quite enjoyed it. Really good!
I love you, Perez. But they are not, repeat, ARE NOT anywhere close to being Coldplay. Coldplay aren't my favorite band, but even I can say that One Republic is a pale pop cookie cutter "band" compared to them.
I saw them in concert- they are amazing performers. They are amazing!
best album ive heard in a while- better than most of the other shit out today….
next coldplay , THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN COLDPLAY
i mean this video is preety rubish but they have awsome music and
they are beautiful people.
It doesn't suck.
Ummm retards, listen to their old stuff. This new stuff has Timbaland written all over it. Effing gag me. I heart their old stuff. Back when they were cool
Not exactly coldplay whatsoever, but I still like their song. I don't think they'll be able to top apologize though.
they're good. but NEVER AS GOOD AS COLDPLAY.
COME ON!!!
it's obvious that u don't know coldplay for real.. at all.
newsflash Perez. OneRepblic's CD came out last year on iTunes. You're a little late…regardless, OneRepublic is my favorite band since I fell in love with the powerful beats of Apologize. I agree with you 100% that they are America's Coldplay.
"we" bought thier album? Who is we….Perez and his alter ego?
awesome!
So hot right now
OH YEAH - JUST LIKE COLD PLAY WITHOUT THE PIANO OR TALENT. PLEASE! THEY SUCK BUBBLE GUM BALLS
I think I'm a fairly intelligent person, but what the heck is this video supposed to be about? Does anyone know? Like the song though.
soo gooodd
THIS SHITTY BAND IS NO "COLDPLAY"…..HOW DARE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO COMPARE THEM…..AND THAT STUPID SONG "APOLOGIZE" WAS SOOO FUCKEN BORING AND STUPID….THAT DUDE JUST KEPT SAYING THAT SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER "TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE…BLAH…BLAH…BLAH"…LAME
i like them better than coldplay
TRASH!
Jesus take the wheel???????
BORING!!!!
I LOVE THEM!!! I got their album as well. I have loved them since I heard Apologize on So You Think You Can Dance. Their CD ROCKS!! HUGE FAN!
Doesnt the lead singer remind you of Ryan from "The OC"?????????????????????????????? Great song and video!
Actually, their album is REALLY good. For those of you knocking them here, don't do it until you've heard their whole album and heard them live. They are very talented.
loveit!
I *heart* you! You are the funniest and everything is always up to date. You are the "Queen of Celeb Gossip!" xoxoxo
cantt explian how much i love these guyss
of course they arent a one hit wonder, this cd is great
another great song is say(all i need)
this song has been on the radio for months, the vids been out since before their first hit. you just got to know where to find it.
amazing song
amazing song
sorry perez… nothing like coldplay AT ALL!
That shit was terrible. You can not compare that overproduced crap to Coldplay. #7 Joe said it best.
amazing song
I've been following One Republic for about . . a year now. I'm glad they're finally getting the attention they deserve
I saw them last week in concert and they are just amazing! Great show! Nothing fancy, just the band and their music. Ryan Tedder really loves telling stories through his music. The whole album is just beautiful.
Check out Ryan Tedder on wikipedia and you'll be surprised at all that he has accomplished as a talented musician.
COMPARING THIS SHITE BAND TO COLDPLAY?
ARE YOU DEAF?
OneRepublic can't hold a candle to the talent Coldplay encompasses. As seems to be the case lately, you're WAY off the mark, Pretzel.
Shame, shame, shame.
i just bought their latest album on a whim and i LOVE it!
I cant believe they filmed in amboy, ca that place is sooo freaky, i mean come on charlie manson grew up there. By the way, the song isnt that good
so… i've seen them live a couple times… they really are amazing! but coldplay is not who i would compare them to at all. they blend alot of different things.
but they are no colplay. and once more… they are no coldplay.
shitty shit
.
no mo' good music made in america
.
get to work you lazy ass greedy bitches
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO COLDPLAY.
Re: joe – ok what makes being on trl bad? they're the TOP songs in the country. it's an honor, not an insult you moron. and maybe if you listened to them, you'd know they're an amazing group.
how can you even put onerepublic and coldplay in the same sentence, let alone compare them!?!?! are you on crack!!!!!!
Who cares, I'm going through serious Britney withdrawals Perez, she's boring lately.
Absolutely love them. They are WAY better then Coldplay. I can't wait to see them on Saturday, meet and greet passes are amazing. Here I come boys
Re: Rachachel – I COULDN'T BEAR TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM. SORRY…BUBBLE GUM BALLS..THEY SUCK IT
the next coldplay?????? i don´t belive that
Well, if you mean both bands trade in fake emotion and lethargic half-hooks, and aspire to have one tenth the weight and invention of Radiohead's second album…then I guess you're right. They ARE like Coldplay!
LOVE IT!!! ………..Please dont compare them to coldplay….coldplay SUCKS!
the lead singer looks like Spencer from the hills lol
i like it
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! Coldplay is so annoying with Gwyn's husband and his whining. That was NOT a compiment to these guys. One Republic is much better.
I think the lead singer sounds like George Michael. I loved Apologize, but this latest one sucks.
But I must disagree. I've been had the album..you are late Perez. But yes it's good. My fave tracks are "Goodbye, Apathy" and "All We Are"
I dont normally comment on this stuff but whoever writes the reviews of the new music and artists has 0 taste and NO EAR because this is extremely generic music and to compare them to coldplay is kinda crazy…ps thats coming from a music professional…thankya very much…
They are horrible and their songs are boring. Their album sucks ass, thankfully I didn't buy it and downloaded it.
whattt
They are from Colorado Springs, CO. Just a couple small town guys who worked their butts off and are making it big. CONGRATS!
Am i the only person on Earth who thinks these guys are wayyyyyyy overhyped? I just don't get it.
OMG! NO COLDPLAY!!!! THEY SUCK! Their album sucks! THEY ARE CATCHY THOUGH
well, since Coldplay ripped off U2, i guess they're another cheap version of them.
damn, they are so ugly!!
FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!FIRST!!
luv the song, h8 the video
the west coast is always late on east coast music
this was out about 2 months ago, same with the jonas brothers and miley cyrus
Please - they are hardly Coldplay.
good find perez, bought the album a while ago…i've been waiting for more songs to hit the airwaves. they've got a few songs in the show gossip girls.
i hated Apologize. But I like this song. But uh..their album really sucks. They're radio-friendly because the radio plays sucky songs. lol. I hate radio music (nickelback, daughtry), and this is totally radio music. I only have their album because I got it for Christmas, and this & the first track are the only ones I like.
OneRepublic is NOTHING like Coldplay…how could you even compare them?
I don't think they're going to be a OHW; they've got a future in this town. It's nice to hear radio friendly music again … it sucked for a while.
Hey Perez readers–
Thanks for helping me win my bet with my castmates. I have the lowest star-meter ranking in the cast…as it should be! =) if you wanna catch more Zombie-mania, go to youtube and type in 'ZAMPD' or 'zombies ate my prom date'. This movie although ULB is gonna be amazing, I promise. Great script and great cast/crew. we are wrapping very soon.
-Craig Jordan
He kind of looks like Spencer Pratt, lol. Only sometimes.
BORING!!!
NEXT POST!!!!
("OneRepublic are like the American version of Coldplay, and that's a big compliment.) But only to people who enjoy music to lapse into comas by.
not a bad band…but nothing special. sounds like all the other shit on the radio.
doesn't remind me of coldplay at all.
kinda sad that we now give special praise for writting your own songs. music has gone to shit.
Re: i love hamburgers – you are so dumb! onerepublic is from colorado aka west coast, not east!
i hate how THE RADIO, AND PEOPLE mess up really good bands, and their songs… fyi onerepublic was out for a LOOOOOONNNGGG time it goes to show how people will only listen to what other people think is cool
if they hadnt heard timbaland's stupid "aaay" in apologize they would never even bother to like this band
…OLD OLD OLD onerepublic music is waaaaay better
and so are the original versions to all of their songs
:P i still love you perez, i just HATE how the radio and mtv and people like timbaland make music suck
same shit happend to the plain white teees
PPP
btw EVERYONE IN FLORIDA VOTE FOR OBAMAAAAAAAA
)
no way coldplay - nothing compares, especially not this mediocre rubbish thats for sure!!!!!!!! clean out your ears peeps
The bottom line is that we all have different taste in music and just because we happen to like/dislike a certain artist or song, doesn't make them suck. It just means it's not something we're interested in. Obviously, if an artist or band has a large fan base, then they are doing something right for some people. If you don't like them, then stop listening to them..and wasting your time commenting on this.
hiii its earl!
They also wrote 'Bleeding Love' Sang by Leona Lewis right?
