I dont know

why he feels the need to keep doing covers!

Veneer has one cover on it and the rest of his self penned songs are great!

Swedish?

With a name like that, Sweden was the last country I would have expected him to come from!

Teardrop

This song is amazing. His voice was made for this track! The Newton Faulkner version is RUBBISH!

the Newton Faulknew version in puke

This one is really good...and amazing compared to the Faulknew rubbish. Go for this instead if your are looking for a great cover of 'teardrops'

Common people !!

I don't usually get involved in this kind of war as I'm usually not a big fan of covers. (And how come this other guy decided to get it out at the same time anyway?)
But you Must admit that if you have to cover such an iconic song, you might as well make it personal and different as JOSE GONZALES does and not a very pale and lame attempted copy of it !!!
