songs you hate hearing on xfactor
which songs do you hate to hear contestants sing and why?
for me: Bridge over troubled water - the original was sublime and Art Garfunkel delivers such a vocal masterclass that nothing else compares to it. I've never ever heard it performed better, to the extent that I now hate to see people even try Jolene - one of my favourite ever songs but most 'covers' are usually too lame to do it any real justice. done well, it's brilliant, done poorly and its dreadful. I'm not a Miley Cyrus fan but this version is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw |

Don't you mean Cry Me a River - Julie London? It's not Buble's song.
Leona's I Will Always Love You was amazing. Likewise so was James Arthur's Fallin.

I love hearing all these classics, I hate to hear them sing "modern" songs for the sake of being modern - such as Melanie McCabe, who should not be singing those types of songs.
Stephanie Woods singing Songbird etc, I love. |

Purple Rain as it's been done to death on The X Factor.
Baby as I'm not keen on Justin Bieber's version, let alone these dreadful covers that I've heard on The X Factor shows in the past. That's about it for me. |

Popular ballads in general but especially Whitney Houston. I prefer upbeat tracks and preferably modern, otherwise it feels like watching karaoke at a pub on a Saturday night.

But there's only so many times I can listen to interpretations of say, Hero, before I have to mute the television. I'd much rather hear people singing their own versions of the kind of songs you'd have heard in the charts in the last few years. |
