Run - Leona Lewis' Cover of Snow Patrol's single



Best cover track of 2008? Think again.

We absolutely love Leona, and we knew that she’ll sounds great no matter what tracks being throw at her, with that beautiful vocal, but that’s not the main point here. Though her efforts did manage to enable the single’s reception being elevated to another higher level, but the mark missing in her cover somehow making the new version’s quality doesn’t stood up to the reception. Snow Patrol’s grey, dark emotions failed to be portrayed in the succeeded version, and apparently Leona made it more commercially sentimental number. Though the emotions are packed in the later version, but the impact just doesn’t as strong as the original’s. Of course if it comes to making the original single her own, Leona definitely nailed it. But at some point her attempt to play with her vocal just appears to be a little bit too much, and that does affecting her overall performance in the single. She could have done better, definitely.

It’s very hard when it comes down to comparing between this two. Hate to say this but miss Lewis just missed it, slightly.
