I love Alcazar.
a part of that song´s melody is from old Genesis song.
But it´s not a cover.
Those boys are a couple btw, how cute!
Sweden rocks!

How dare they butcher a Genesis song! grrrrrr
Some music is better off left alone, especially Genesis!!!
The original is called Land Of Confusion, btw.

Cheap dance act. There’s also a second song mixed in. Don’t remember the title right now...

All the originals must be left alone, No covers please!!

For what I know, the guy behind Alcazar is Alexander of the Army of Lovers!

Land of Confusion is one of my alltime Genesis favourites!!! Too bad they turned it into a dance song :-((

Why the hell can’t those so-called artist not be original and make a song themselves?
It is definitely a sign of not being able to write music yourself if you need to cover a song to get a hit.
Today I saw that Marilyn Manson has covered Depeche Mode.
How does he dare to do that!
Get lost with those cover-bands!
The chart-lists would sound much fresher without them.
And spare me the comments that those bands do it as a tribute to the band they are covering.
They just do it because they know it sells (but that doesn’t mean it is good).
Usually 99.999999999% of the covers is much worse than the original.
To get back to the title of this thread:
It would be nice to live in a cover-free world, but I am afraid that’s an illussion.

Theyre called alcazar. They have had one or 2 minor hits in britain already, but i think they have had more success on mainland europe. They had a big hit with “Crying at the Discotheque” a couple of years ago.
