Thread: Run ; Leona Lewis vs Snow patrol

Leona just tramples all over Snow Patrol. I love them both but Leona's is just epic

Omg such a hard choice as they are both class but I'm going to go for Snow Patrol's.

Both good but im gonna have to go with leona..its more my style of music and she does it beautifully.

Leona's version is gorgeous and gives me goosebumps everytime.

Snow Patrol. Even though I like both.

C'mon guys vote it's fifty fifty!

Not any more.

Well, I was a big fan of Snow Patrols "Final Straw" album and I loved Run and parralelling what Tash said, Snow Patrol is probably more my music but I prefer Leona's.

I don't know what it is, I said to Niall earlier how her voice "Commands attention". I think she could probably cover a different song every week and make a better version out of it.

This song was kind of epic already but when you add Leona to the mix it's more than epic. One of my favorite Live Lounge performances by far.

Snow Patrol

The studio version of Leona's version of Run from the re-release of Spirit

Simply: Incredible.

Tough choice they are both really good, but i went for Snow Patrol as it was the original. I do Love leona;s version though

It's without a doubt the best Live Lounge cover ever! She's made their version more famous, especially in the US.

I stick by what I said before, something about her voice "Commands attention" I think the choir on it kinda distracts away from her voice a little they didn't need it.

Magical, just magical I tell you!

And even when I've got back into the Final Straw Album, I've been playing "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking" one of my faves on that album a lot on the jukebox in the pub.

Leona's version is better hands down, just like Ryan Adam's version of Wonderwall is better despite it being an aboslute anthem.

Im gonna say snow patrol

#28 on US Itunes, hopefully it'll be a surprise big digital hit for her

Really? She's what in the Uk?

In the UK she's #1 on the Top 40 (will probably be #3 tomorrow, #1 being Alexandra Burke and #2 being Jeff Buckley) and she's #3 on the UK itunes chart.

Run isn't even being promoted as a single in the US so it's quite extraordinary that this success has happened off basically a buzz in the UK about it. I Will Be is the next US single, starring Chace Crawford in the video

Oh god, but I do love that song!

I heard something on radio 1 about Run leaving you feeling drained.... I agree!

my mum loves leonas verson

i dont like either one

leona sings it beautifully but love snow patrols version i love leonas voice

I totally agree about Run being the best live lounge cover, i don't think anyone elses covers on there have come close. There are some really good covers though don't get me wrong.

I hate Oasis and hate Wonderwall but when i heard Ryan Adams version i actually liked it....its a much better version than the original
