On Fearne Cotton's show on BBC Radio 1, they're currently having a Live Lounge Battle, where various bands' cover versions recorded for Radio 1 are competing against each other to become the Live Lounge Champion. Yesterday, Keane's May November 2004 cover of U2's With Or Without You was put to a public vote against covers by Goldfrapp and Taio Cruz. We're pleased to say the results were as follows:
Keane - 53% of the vote
Taio Cruz - 30%
Goldfrapp - 17%
Which means Keane go through to the next round. Thanks to any of you who voted. We'll try to let you know when the next round is.
If you're in the UK, you can hear the results being read out and Keane's cover after 1hr 40mins of this show.
Of course, the cover of With Or Without You also features on the Hopes And Fears Deluxe Edition, which is out on November 9th.

mmm the first time that i listen a keane'song i think that was U2, jejeje is a beautiful irony indeed
My favourite bands are U2 and Keane! I saw U2 in Sheffield - 20.8.09!! B-)
I like Keane's version of With or Without You much more than the original. Tom's voice beats out Bono's by many, many miles
Congrats Keane! :)

I know what you mean travelfish. Before going to their gig in Newcastle jan27th i decided to treat myself to a new jacket. The first store i went into had exactly what i was looking for - on the very first rail-the only one they had was my size and they were playing a Keane song [Everyone's changing]. It was'nt until i was standing waiting to pay that i looked at the style name of the jacket -'KEANE'!!! -Thats when i knew it was meant to be!!!! It makes you wonder.
Ok this is SO weird because last night I decided to listen to all the Keane B-sides I had... and finished off with With Or Without You. It's so pretty. And then I see this this morning! Haha.
Of course you will lead - anyone with ears can hear you are one of the most talented bands of all time :)
Of course, ♥Angels♥ ! You sound good ♫...
is a great song and with the arrangements did sounds excellent congratulations you guys kisses
Yaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! Well done, Keane! Thanks to the voters!!! Please, can you announce when votes take place? I'd love to help even from my country, Colombia! Is there any possibility of voting online? I love BBC Radio1, as well!!! :-D Cheers!
Me olvidaba, enhorabuena a Keane (mis chicos consentidos), me parece una versión fantástica.
Después de haber leído algún que otro comentario tengo que decir lo siguiente: me encanta la música de Keane, Tom tiene una increíble voz, son un grupo fantástico, pero que a nadie se le olvide la increíble trayectoria profesional de U2, en mi opinión una de las mejores bandas del mundo (por no decir la mejor), y la voz de Bono no se merece que la cuestione nadie. Creo que U2 son un buen ejemplo a seguir tanto por Keane como por cualquier banda que empieza en el mundo de la música, en el que no es nada fácil hacerse con una reputación como la que tienen Bono, Edge, Larry y Adam.
I must admit that this cover is great =)
that's nice! congrats guys, it's a great cover!^^
It`s a great cover, I love it !!!!!! Thanks guys !... Love you, Tom !!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.

Uhuuuuu!!!!! KEANE! KEANE! KEANE!!!!
Gotta say, the Keane version is so much better than the U2 version: Tom's voice of course, which is much better than Bono's; the meaning of the words comes through so much better; and the Keane sound suits the song better than U2's guitar sound. Go Keane! xxxx
Hoera!!! Congratulations KEANE xxx
