Terrible uninspired cover, 10 quid budget for the video....
![]() Marcus is above this, or so I thought he was. |

Snowyface I can't believe people are saying it will get to number 1! That makes me incredibly happy! I love the song and Marcus, but I'm incredibly sure it will flop
I agree Snowyface. Marcus is a really talented singer, it would be a real shame if he flopped, as I fear he will

He deserves to flop badly with this song. I swear that if he mentions that this is his own version of the song, ill ****ing strangle him. How shameless is it to claim that it is your own take on the song when its a rip off?

I do quite like it but after hearing the ben l'oncle version i definately prefer that, Marcus' version is a ripoff, does he have to get permission to cover the song in the exact same way as him? or would he just need permission to cover the original.

In that article he says that he "hopes people like my take" on the song. I'm sorry, but if he keeps on saying things like this then I have to keep on bringing up the fact that 'his' take is a total carbon copy of the Ben L'Oncle Soul version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDwIly7Y8l4&ob=av2e

Why would you do such an awful version of a great song.

I'm not Adele’s biggest fan, but with 'Rolling In The Deep' she came up with something we'd never heard before. Records like that are the biggest hits these days, not covers. |

I can't stand Marcus. I thought he was such a cheeseball on XF. One of the biggest cheeseballs to ever be on the show, in fact.
Got to wonder how he's managed to secure so much air play, really. |

What I don't understand is why the Syco acts are all lumbered with covers. Surely there is enough money in the system to fund a team of songwriters. Why work so hard to establish a performer like Marcus, then don’t give them a chance to have a song of their own.

I think it will be at least top5 because Capital are playing it to death, and since they went nationwide they seem to have an increasing amount of influence.
horrible cover though, the original doesn't even feel that old (or maybe i'm just getting old!?) and the video pales in comparison to the originals classic video. |

I really hate it. Every time it comes on I just want to hear The White Stripes.
Whenever they play it when I am in the car, I just hit play on the CD player. Maybe I should put The White Stripes. version in the car CD player, and listen to that. |

After reading some of the negative comments on hear about Marcus's version I was pleasantly surprised when I actually watched it but subsequently listening to Ben l'Oncle's version I'm afraid I Marcus's pales into insignificance.
Did he actually hear this and just copy it? The video is also cr*p compared to Ben's so all in all a thumbs down from me. I just hope others are aware of the obvious copy here. |

Had a quick listen to some songs on his album. His voice sounds so tinny and auto-tuned. What a shame.

Glad it only reach 9, if ever there was an act to show how cheap X Factor contestants can be it's Marcus, he's only stuck with this niche/style because it's all he has, hanging on for dear life. Serious case of gay face which irks me as well (coming from a gay guy!)
