    One republic is diarrhea, any shitheads who rimes "ground with sound" should have their songwriting licence taken away.

    The first time I heard the original, I didn't care for the song and was questioning why everyone was so interested in it…BUT after hearing One Republic's version, the song has grown on me. DEFINITELY better than the original!

    Ok first of all …not as good as the original.
    Secondly, CAN HE PUT THE PHONE DOWN?? Is he being texted the lyrics and singing them as they come in???

    WTF?????

  28. UKFAN says – reply to this

    took you long enough to post this

    why does america not like Duffy? Her number 1 hit Mercy was given away for free on iTunes a couple of weeks ago. WTF!!!

    You might as well come ’round to Duffy, P.
    You won't hold out forever.
    This version is shit.

    What the F is everyone talking about, this is sooooo much better than the original, duffy doesn't have talent, this boy on the otherhand he's got pure talent!

  33. Lauryn says – reply to this


    33

    Gooooooooooodstuff!
    Duffy makes my ears vomit.

  34. Sarah says – reply to this


    34

    Totally awesome! Lovin' it. Ryan Tedder is supremely talented. I hope they put this cover on their next album.

  35. To DALE says – reply to this


    35

    Oh, Dale. "Ground" and "sound" DO rhyme, dear. And it is "rhymes", not "rimes" or "rymes", and "license", not "licence".
    Time to go back to 1st grade?

  36. alice says – reply to this


    36

    This is so not better than the original. I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal out of One Republic, they are boring. They don't bring anything to the table.

  37. whatthehellwasthat says – reply to this


    37

    It sounds really good, these guys are great. Still Duffy is huge with her album and this amazing song, love her.

    God that was awful. The song usually makes me want to dance. That made me want to yawn, the band looked asleep.

  41. sabrina says – reply to this

  42. Starrla says – reply to this


    42

    Better than the original…um have you heard the original??? Cus this certainly doesnt even compare. I mean its good…for OneRepublic. But lets not forget, Duffy actually wrote this song herself, and her version is WAAAYYY better than anything OneRepublic could EVER do

  43. Kelly says – reply to this


    43

    I love OneRepublic, but this is one of the most repetitive songs I've ever heard. Whoever wrote it is LAME.

  44. ~~ says – reply to this

    Fucking garbage.

  45. peter says – reply to this
