Not a single, but holy s***, this is good.

Hmm....Interesting. Verdict is still out, but definitely worth downloading nonetheless. (What's with Jared's indoor sunglasses, long fingernails and Alicia Keys hat?  ) |

At first I thought "Yeah, I wish they'd never recorded this", but then it changed to "Who am I kidding, it's not 2003 anymore and they're never going back."
Maybe they're trying to reel in Lady Gaga for a song on their next record, much like they possibly had been trying by covering Kanye's song a couple years ago. I wouldn't put it past Jared.

Don't really like it. I much preferred Hayley Williams' cover of this song. |

Don't really like it. I much preferred Hayley Williams' cover of this song. See, now I liked this way more than what Hayley did. |

Hmm...looks like this is from Radio 1's Live Lounge, so I wouldn't read too much into it. Each year the past few years they've released a double-CD of live performances, many of which are unlikely covers (like this one.) Some of them are fairly obscure artists covering fairly obscure singles, which can get interesting. You can see the tracklistings of Volumes 1-4 on Amazon: www.amazon.com/s/qid=1270277799/ref=sr_nr_seeall_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=radio%201%20live%20lounge&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aradio%201%20live%20lounge%2Ci%3ApopularI have volume 2 and my favorites are KT Tunstall covering Bloc Party's "The Prayer" and Bloc Party covering Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right." But The Fray covering "Hips Don't Lie" is atrocious. Anyway, not really a fan of this cover. Then again I absolutely hate the original. though It'll probably show up on volume 5. |

But The Fray covering "Hips Don't Lie" is atrocious. Lol, they did the cover when I saw them live in 2007 and yeah it was pretty bad. But the cool thing was that they actually let the drummer do the singing for that song.  I randomly come across these covers from time to time. My favourites have been Paramore covering " Use Somebody" and Sam Sparro covering " American Boy" (although the latter's "rap" part is hilariously bad). |
