Original v. Cover: Use Somebody

[NSL]

I'll start this by saying I'm only doing it so that people who usually don't post music would come in here. Call me a ****e

Anyway, I know Kings Of Leon get a ton of love on this forum, and to be honest, it drives me crazy. It's seriously made me not like the band, and I cana dmit I've only heard 2 songs from them. This is one of them, and I'll admit it's not bad, I just can't listen to it.

The Cover:

Paramore never recorded it for use, but they did do an acoustic version for some show somewhere. I must admit that Hayley nailed the vocals, and the music is not bad done this way. I really can't give a fair judgment, but Paramore gets my vote.

Kings of leon easy but she didnt murder the song like a thought she would.

Why do you think she would? She has one of the best voices in the business right now, and covered a few different styles with Paramore. If anything, the lead singer of Kings Of Leon could take a lesson, and do something other than whine through every song.

Im refering to that song in particular as i think the K.O.L lead singers vocals fit better and im not a fan of acoustic covers. But yeah she is a great singer and sings it well but i thought that her voice wouldnt fit that song but i was wrong.

I'm not a big fan of Paramore, at all. Hayley Williams has a great voice though (and is simply beautiful), so I definitely enjoyed the cover more than I do the incredibly overrated original by one of the most overrated bands I've seen in quite some time in the Kings of Leon. Kings of Leon are shit, so really I'd prefer any cover over the original just so I didn't have to listen to Kings of Leon's talentless lead singer.

Hayley's great voice and utter beauty easily makes their cover much, much more enjoyable.

King's of Leon. I'm not really a fan but the song is pretty catchy, I can enjoy it once in a while (although it is starting to get beaten to death). Plus I'm not into female vocals unless they really stand out and I don't find anything special about the Paramore singer, pretty dull.
