CI PRENDONO PER I FONDELLI OVUNQUE

Italian Emos Cover White Lies On ‘The X Factor’
By NME

Anyone who thought there was something overly slick and poppy about White Lies’ supposedly ‘gothic’ anthems will have their suspicions confirmed by the clip – because the fact is, ‘To Lose My Life’ doesn’t actually sound that out of place in an ‘X Factor’ context, even if it is the Italian version.

The song is crooned by Fading Memories, a pair of overly-coiffured emos who are basically John and Edward in eyeliner. And the judges’ verdict? “Bene. Molto bene.”

Wow, vomit EVERYWHERE! How come some people in the audience got to wear earmuffs yet the viewing public don’t? Also, why is everyone dressed like they’re at the circus? Oh wait…

seriously, i thought they’d be good. i can never listen to that song again. thanks ‘fading memories.’ they cant even get the lyrics right.

i would’ve never expected to find these singers(?) on NME… saw them live yesterday evening and they were so painful to listen to! the judges must’ve said that they liked the performance just because they, unexplicably, felt like being nice; anyone, music expert or not, could say they were bad. ew.

Ok I’m Italian :P, but when I saw this two I’ve think… “OMG horrible and terrible… Maybe a nightmare eheheh”, I love White Lies and this had ruined the song, emo look is very cool in this period in Italy, especially for “stupid and idiot” teenagers… Most of the Italian people don’t have a real personality, but follow only what is cool, sometimes we are all equal without personality 🙁 But not all Italian people are stupid and the right sentence is “Bene, molto bene” XD Me for example I’m not stupid, I don’t love this two and I prefer the real White lies band. Bye bye, ciao. Elisa 🙂

that’s just sad. i feel bad for them, tbh.. they’re just ridiculous. okay, you can sing a song on a laughable way. but they just raped it. unbelievable. if i was Harry McVeigh, i would kill them for doing that. thanks Fading Memories, you ruined my day. –”

Is it possible for your eyes to contract STDs? Because this is about the visual eqiavalent of gonorrhea.

I really believe these 2 emo bros are sons of someone important so no one could be able to express something bad.It wouldn’t be the first time in Italy.They sucks, this was a “suicide” for the emo brothers and an horrible moment for White Lies fans , as me.
Matt (from Italy) [Visitor] //October 22 2009 at 18:05
I DO love White Lies… and this kinda EMOs absolutely suck!! They couldn’t even pronounce the lyrics in the right way!! :S So, so bad :S
Joanna. [Visitor] //October 22 2009 at 18:42
These ridiculous slick emo’s. Why can’t they bloody undertand that even having a song with the title “Death” and “To Lose My Life” DO NOT = emooo. Eurgh. This is nasty and American. Poor White Lies; having their song desecrated =\
Ed [Visitor] //October 22 2009 at 19:04

Hans [Visitor] //October 23 2009 at 02:43
this is remarkable. so bad. I think White Lies are the best new band this year but this cover is just awful. I guess White Lies got big in Italy for this to happen?
Nicoló [Visitor] //October 23 2009 at 08:21
