Don't know who is this guy. Not so good, not so bad.

He's not bad, but come on, why do people keep getting this idea that Green Day is one word?! It doesn't even make sense!

Same with "Basket Case". I see it as Basketcase so much it gets really annoying

That's a little bit more understandable, as with Billy Joe. But green and day are such common words that I can't see why so many people think it's one word. Hell, I even get ticked off when people say "Green Day are" instead of "Green Day is", but there is absolutely no reason why someone should think it's greenday. Especially if you claim it's one of your favorite songs. :rolleyes:

I quite like Jedward (not as much as Green Day, of course). They get far too much stick here in the UK. Btw, it's John that plays the guitar.

... I see nothing wrong with it. I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing lol. It's a fucking cover.

For a moment I thought poor JB was sitting there :lol:

Is better to sing beautiful than awful it doesn't matter if he did mistakes with lyrics

I expected worse from him/them. I don't miss them being all over the Internet in their X-Factor heyday :lol:

To be fair, it was a good cover, don't see anything wrong with a pop artist or person who likes pop music *gasp* (oh the horror) covering Green Day. If it had been a horrible cover, then it'd be different.

How do you know whether Jedward understand the "proper" meaning or not?

I wasn't referring specifically to Jedward, just generalizing! This song is definitely mis-interpreted with its use in media however.

I kind of agree with that (when it gets called just "Time Of Your Life" for example). But I think even Green Day themselves are guilty of that when they sweetly end shows with it! I know "Good Riddance" is the main meaning of the song but I think it does genuinely have a nice/sentimental meaning as well as the sarcastic meaning.

I don't get the hate. Yeah they're a bit annoying but at least they have semi-decent voices [as shown here] and can play an instrument. They also, by the seems of it, have some good taste in music. :P

As said before, I've seen much worse than this. :)

Good point! I like the way songs can change in meaning over time, or have a double meaning, of which one is more prominent to different listeners

I like Jedward. Like when I see them on stage they always make me laugh and smile. Those hyper squirrels :lol: For the cover: Not bad. If you remove the fact him/they are famous, it sound just like another fan cover. :happy:

Posted

Why did I have to watch this :( Awful.

Posted

Behold their greatness

That, was one of the worst songs I've heard in my life.

Posted

It's not the worst thing in the world

But if Justin Bieber covers a green day song then THAT would be the worst thing in the world :lol:

What's with all the hate for Justin Bieber? He's just another artist..if you don't like him then leave him alone..I don't listen to him personally but I find no reason for all the hate he gets.

Posted

Oh god, why! Why?

Posted

It's horribly predictable, but not too bad a cover. They're funny guys who have good stage presence, Jedward. I don't think too highly of their music, but 'Lipstick' was catchy enough. :happy:

Posted

It's okay...I just wish he'd stop talking in a false american accent.

Posted

Up 'till now, I'd never heard of anything or anyone called Jedward. After this, I do not feel the need to research further.
