Ronan Parke covers A Thousand Miles
« on: October 07, 2011, 11:27:26 am »
The kid from Britain's Got Talent is about to release his album and his first single is A Thousand Miles. It's bad, it's on youtube. I'm on my phone so can't link. As Simon Cowell is involved it will be all over the UK, eurgh. Dreading it.

The piano/strings sound so "computarized".  I dont think his voice fits the original song! of course Nothing will ever top it!

Man, I watch Britain's Got Talent and I even wished he had won (though the winner totally deserved it).
But this is horrible! Actually, it's sad  :(
I guess that's the power of music industry, trying to make another teen star

I can't believe this is the same kid that made a tear fall down my face when he sung "Because Of You" (check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeIj9cMLF1U)

I watched his music video of ATM.

Man, no one can defeat the moving piano and sweatbands.  ;D

No offense,  but the sweatshirt just reminds me of Bieber's One Time video.

Ha, me too.

For a second he reminded me of Charlie Bucket from the old Willy Wonka movie. I have no clue why. Just something random I guess.

LMFAO!

He looks like a little boy version of Donald Trump with that comb over. Wat.

Ugh, I couldn't get past 1 minute of his version. It's terrible! The piano sucks, his voice is childish (well, he's a kid but yeah) and does he have to mimic EVERY SINGLE LYRIC in the video, seriously? I mean, thanks but I understand English, just fyi.

I wish Vanessa would be able to block the release of the song but I don't think she can. From what I know, if someone pays the rights to use your song, they just can. Correct me if I'm wrong.

On the other hand, I think it is quite beneficial to V. She mentioned in one of her later shows that the royalties of the ATM (notice how I used 'the':) helped her to fund ROTR.

Still, whoever will buy the rights to use the song (I remember somebody who used the riff of ATM) would not, in my opinion, really match the original.

Higher key for a higher voice (pre-pubescent), Manny.  :-\
