Cover vs. Original

Mr. Lonely / Lonely


The original is a classic played for many years in my house as a child and I have quite fond memories of the song, however, I have to admit that I prefer the updated version purely because I hate sampling in songs but this was quite a genius use of an old classic and I think it does the song some kind of justice that it rightly deserves.

I really like Akons version

Bobby Vinton's origonal version "Mr. Lonely" is moving and inspiring, it capured the emotions and tone of the War going on at the time and I think everyone can appreciate that.

I have respect for AKON's version, but Bobbies is far superior. The depth of a soldier feeling alone in another country fighting for our freedom is many times more painful than breaking up with a woman. If you believe that Race is the Reason for liking one over the other you are a simple mind, with no real future.

I think Bobby's song is a trillion times better than what's his face. That so called singer is a complete idiot for what he did to Bobby's song. Bobby was sining about being a "lonely soldier" not breaking up with a girl. I LOVE YOU BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOBBY IS NUMBER1.
