      Paramore did an amazing job with this cover, I actually like it more than the original version. Hayley's voice is amazing as usual.

      …a weak…watered…down version..of a classic song…done karaoke…style…



    3. 3

      AWESOME!!!



    4. 4

      There simply is no topping Caleb's vocals, but Hayley does have a beautiful voice. I normally don't like covers too much, but this is like you said, "lovely".

      Re: Shark – A classic song? That Kings of Leon album was released less than a year ago.



    11. 11

      Why are you jumping on Paramore's train just because they have a new cd coming out? They have been around for a long time.



    12. 12

      I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTT!
      IT IS SO AWESOME….
      IM GOING TO ITUNES RIGHT NOW AND GET IT… OMG!



    13. 13

      Sorry. No. No one can touch Kings of Leon



    14. 14

      From what I'm hearing a bunch of people have covered this song including, Justin Timberlake, Linkin park and others. Kings of Leon plans to release a remix tape of all of the covers to use somebody. Can't wait.



    15. 15

      amaazing



    16. 16

      Even with my love of Paramore I still hate any song by Kings of Leon. Because they suck.



    17. 17

      where can you get this?



    18. 18

      Meh… KoL version has more soul.



    19. 19

      I am not a fan of paramore, but i have to give them props when it is deserved. I love this!



    20. 20

      Re: NAlexis25 – hence why it is a cover for BBC live Lounge…if KOL sung it…it wouldn't be a cover!



    21. 21

      Oh my god I like much this version than the other.



    22. 22

      i don't like the original song, but hayley convinced me!

      23

      Trixie Lott waaaayyyyy better. This sounds like a high school chorus girl rendition.



    24. 24

      really good!



    25. 25

      i love paramore…but the original its the original i love KOL and caleb :)



    26. 26

      LOVE THISSS !!!!!

      * thumbs upp!!!! *



    27. 27

      Shark:Go fuck yourself! this is a amazing cover! and if you hate it,then obviously your tone deaf!



    28. 28

      loovveee it



    29. 29

      O__O
      okay…why?
      no maam.
      KOL make this song…theres no beating a voice like that.
      ill be happy if this never happens again.



    30. 30

      O.M.G I LOVE PARAMORE! IM GONNA SEE THEM IN HOLLYWOOD ON THE FIRST! I THINK SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB BUT I LIKE HER COVER BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL.



    31. 31

      It's a great cover. Thanks for giving the BBC Radio One Live Lounge a bit of credit though, second time you've failed on that this week. I'm disappointed.



    32. 32

      LOVE IT!



    33. 33

      Re: Shark – Classic? It got released a little time ago. Idiot. And this is brilliant.



    34. 34

      Thanks for killing it, Paramore needs to stick to what they know.

      Angry Avril Lavigne-type punk songs about rebelling against someone or telling off an ex-boyfriend.

      ..
      But the red hair chick does have a good voice.

      35

      Very nice, I am not a Paramore fan. But nice.



    36. 36

      ok but the original is about x10000 better. this song is so old, like a year old



    37. 37

      wow..i def. enjoyed the paramore version more than the original..kudos to paramore!



    38. 38

      love it.



    39. 39

      i'm not a KOL fan really but this cover gave the song a whole different vibe… i really love this cover and paramore are a frickin awsome band and really nice people.



    40. 40

      Some more paramore SHIT for all the TWILIGHT RETARDS out there

    41. _WOW_ says – reply to this


      41

      this is horable one of the reasons that kings of leon is so good is because of Caleb's voice being so amazing they should not of even atempted it



    42. 42

      i liked it better than the oringinal



    43. 43

      Bat for Lashes version is MUCH better!



    44. 44

      I like it better… just ’cause I don't like that cliche guy rocker voice. Hayley is lovely!



    45. 45

      amazing….Hayley's voice is awesome as usual. Love the song even more!



    46. 46

      Re: Mancunian – emily love skins



    47. 47

    49. 49

      xxx



    56. 56

      i used to like KOL but because people have become soooo obsessed with them i've become sick of them!
      nice cover Para.



    57. 57

      Not even close to as good as Caleb and the family. Paramore should check this new thing out called WRITING YOUR OWN MUSIC.



    58. 58

      the impossible has happened…my love for paramore has just grown by 57836%!!!!!!!



    59. 59

      The Paramore version: SUCKS!

    63. 63

      it's kinda nice but kinda weird comparing to the original version. id still prefer KOL's version cos it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.

    69. 69

      74

      this is a wonderful cover! her voice sounds beautiful for this song. and I don't usually dig covers.

    75. gab says – reply to this


      75

      i like thisd verison better than the original .. love paramoree =)



    76. 76

      Singer+Song=both pretty



    77. 77

      Not EVEN gonna listen to this shit. That's right; Paramore is shit. They are not good.



    78. 78

      paramore is so amazing.



    79. 79

      I would have liked it a lot better if she didn't have to read the words the whole time!
      Learn the song before you cover it, sweetie!



    80. 80

      kol earlier stuff was a lot better than their latest SELL OUT cd. They have been around along time and i suppose it was a matter of time before they made it big. I love Parmore they have been around a long time too and Hayley's voice has matured a lot! She does have one of the best rock (female) voices around..



    81. 81

      wheres the fucking song ???



    82. 82

      this was beautiful. KOL s my all time favorite band and of course the original is better. but hayley is a great vocalist i love what she did with the song. im glad it was her and not some talentless baffooon.



    83. 83

      i like it alot!



    84. 84

      I prefer Caleb's voice for this song, but Hayley's voice is nice too.



    85. 85

      Both versions are very good. Paramore did a lovely job :-) It's hard to decide what version I like better. Either KOL or Paramore :-/



    86. 86

      posers
      I bet people didnt even know about paramore before twilight
      paramore sux anywayz



    87. 87

      POSERS
      I BET PEOPLE DIDNT EVEN KNOE ABOUT PARAMORE BEFORE TWILIGHT
      PARAMORE SUX ASS ANYWAYZ



    88. 88

      i love this version!



    89. 89

      aah i love the bbc radio one live lounge covers, my favourite thing on the radio… if you've not heard them before i'd check out Jamie Cullum covering Frontin', and The Saturdays cover of Beggin'. xxx



    90. 90

      I'm disappointed in this cover. This is a way watered-down version.



    91. 91

      wow, i could have seen that in any bar…
      not the best…



    92. 92

      There is definitely no comparison to be made here. Horrible cover, no passion in that girls voice.
      You want to hear some "classic" Kings songs, I suggest putting down Only by the Night and play Youth and Young Manhood. Then, you have room to talk about KoL classics.



    93. 93

      Paramore did a great job:)
      Hayley's voice is awsome.
      i like this song even more now:)



    94. 94

      ima huge KOL fan and I actually really enjoyed this…the lead singer of Paramore has a beautiful voice



    95. 95

      paramore & KOL are both amazing.

      this in particular was one of my favorite acoustic versions of a song by Hayley :D



    96. 96

      LOVE IT !!



    97. 97

      best of both worlds I LOVE KINGS OF LEON AND PARAMORE THEY R THE BEST OF THE BEST rock on and love hayley's voice



    98. 98

      Love it. Haley has a gorgeous voice.



    99. 99

      amazing cover, love the face at the end!



    100. 100

      Fuck this. That song was made for someone with strong vocals. Haley definitely doesn't live up to that. I'd like this if it were someone else singing it.
