It was a really weak performance. And it doesn't sound any better on the radio, either. It's an incredibly insipid cover, and for the life of me I can't fathom what made them think they could even begin to do it justice.

I was quite to hear they were going to release Waterfalls, but didn't think they'd make such a rubbish job of it. No longer an interested fan.

No idea why they felt the need to cover Waterfalls when the original was perfect

Their Waterfalls cover isn't bad, just unnecessary.

I thought they were really good, have always been impressed by their live performances.

I wouldn't call it "hate". They have fantastic recording voices. But that incredibly tacky attitude thing they insist on crowbarring in to their songs seriously grates. This cover, however, is another story entirely. For me, if you're going to record someone else's song, then you have to either better it or at least reinvent it. They've done neither, other than substituting Left Eye's rap for their own substandard prattle. The result is weak and utterly passionless, and they don't even sound like they want to sing it - even on the studio version.

Just heard them on ITV2+1 and loved them. They all had really beautiful voices and are very interesting to see. Was just thinking, imagine if they'd come as an act on the X Factor - wow

The single recording and video are awful, even nicking some of the original moves and turning Lisa's rap into that,,,,

The xtra factor performance was a little better but I dont think the song needed to be covered at all..it was great the way it was and this doesnt improve it or change it in any way.

Their cover of Waterfalls is truly awful. It makes me think of Peter Kay's X Factor/Pop Idol spoof programme a few years ago.
