Kitty Purry Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Behold their greatnessyoutube.com/watch?v=Ni133caQ9Dw OMG thank you for introducing this!!! They are very entertaining!! Their awfullness is so great I think I'm becoming a fan. Haters are music snobs IMO!!
Insomniac1984 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Don't know who is this guy. Not so good, not so bad.
SuperXCsabre495 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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
Lauren Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
CocaColaX Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
Strayheart1219 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 ... I see nothing wrong with it. I'm not seeing what you guys are seeing lol. It's a fucking cover.
JIGD13 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Is better to sing beautiful than awful it doesn't matter if he did mistakes with lyrics
Mar Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I expected worse from him/them. I don't miss them being all over the Internet in their X-Factor heyday
Sleeper Agent. Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
StuckWithRob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
Hermione Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
Guest Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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. As said before, I've seen much worse than this.

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
BadgerLALA Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I like Jedward. Like when I see them on stage they always make me laugh and smile. Those hyper squirrels For the cover: Not bad. If you remove the fact him/they are famous, it sound just like another fan cover.
J&TheNight Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Behold their greatness That, was one of the worst songs I've heard in my life.
isuckatthesethings Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 At least he didn't use autotune, I hate those shitty youtube musicians who do that and make every song super dramatic and get super many views because theyre pretty. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmK8zrHfPGE Edit: I saw this one sec ago, covers like these are really fucking awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fe1herKVRM
K!ngForADay Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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 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.
K!ngForADay Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 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.
musso_kn Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 It's okay...I just wish he'd stop talking in a false american accent.
The Green One Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Up 'till now, I'd never heard of anything or anyone called Jedward. After this, I do not feel the need to research further.
