I listened to the preview on iTunes and didn't like the sound of this cover at all.

Anyone in the UK who used to watch The Royle Family will probably despise this new version of Half The World Away. I just find it disappointing that they've taken such a well loved Oasis song, and made it so sickly sweet and twee.

Bad cover, not awful, not amazing either.

First time I've watched the advert, after seeing the majority going bonkers over how great it was, i don't think it's all that. Boring.

It's obviously not as good as the original but certainly not bad. I like it even thought I've never heard of the girl who sings it. I wonder what Noel thinks of it?

The singer is awful. Why do they like these twee-voiced girlies so much.

But the comments on the Youtube clip are highly entertaining. Top trolling!
