@@opticmadarano they didn’t lol, the instruments and vocals combined add amazing effects, and it’s well known, to the point if you sing like a couple of the words everyone can recognize it.
I actually love the One Direction version. There’s something sweet about young people singing about wanting to stay young, like they’re enjoying the present moment. Versus older people (than 1D) reminiscing after their youth has passed. All the versions are good for different reasons. Also now with Liam’s passing, the song takes on a whole new meaning.
I always forget that Youth Groups cover of this song didn't get as big internationally as what it did here but it was a number one song on Australian billboards and actually went platinum.
Alphaville is one of the most underrated bands of all times, Bernhard's keyboards, Frank's piano and Marian gold's voice is on another level. Even today after more 40 years, it feels very new. Marian gold is not only one of the greatest voices but also a great songwriter. And just like gold, marian's voice doesn't rust. Thank you alphaville for giving us this masterpiece which will really will be forever young
I thought youth group was the original,and the best......after endless replays i now think Alphaville....i grew up in the 80s and never heard it until 12 months ago....80s version all the way !
Forever Young I wanna be Forever. Nothing beats the first one. Let's dance in style Let's dance for a while heaven can we're only skies. Hoping the best but expecting the worst are you gonna drop the bomb or not.
I like both Coldplay and One Direction. I don’t know how to explain it but they both sounds so innocent and hopeful? While the original sounds like a powerful wish made by an older person. Same song, different feelings😌
All are decent, but nothing can beat Alphaville
They basically all sound the same, not a bad thing I love the song
Yes 😊
Nothing but Facts
I dislike this song now after hearing it so many times
@@caramelcoffee706True
Nothing can beat the original.

Fr like Alphaville’s the OG and nothing can be better than it

Nah, jay z’s version beats it.
Alphaville, for sure. No comparison.

@@opticmadaraEven Jay Z version sounds better than Imagine Dragon’s Version. None comes close to The Original
1984 is my favourite
1984
Literally 1984
Oceania, Eurasia, Eastasia or Free Nations?
Winston or Julia?
Nah, jay z’s version beats it.
alphaville and One direction ❤
Forever young is the best out of them all
Na forever young is better 😂😂
@@darthrevan1234I prefer forever young!
Yall are sleeping on forever young
forever young is the best, y'all r fuckin tweakin
Y'all are def on something, "WHO DID IT THE BEST?" is obviously the best out of them all
80s songs will never be replaced man
80s is definitely my favourite kind of music
1984 always, sung beautifully and has that melancholy tugging at your heartstrings sound.
Nothing can beat the original!! It is the no 1 for sure!! Even one direction’s is nice!! ❤😊❤
The original one is so powerful
alphaville but omg as a massive directioner i didn’t realise they covered it!!
Me neither 😂
Even meh I never heard about it 😢
Not really is a Directioner 😂
@@phiromvay1205 Why not? Just because someone does not know every single one of the old videos, doesn't mean they're not a real directioner!
They posted it 6 days agooo 😭
Defnitely The *OG* but will keep 1D as my 2nd pick
I’m going to be honest here and say that Imagine Dragons actually did this one thing really well.
i agree
Yup, imagine dragon catch the feeling for the lyrics
Indeed, it was kind of unexpected for me
No matter how well they sing the song, they are still a cover version...i prefer the original version
His vocals are great
This matched to 1980 s era feels nostalgic

alphaville obviously… usually i prefer the originals over covers
I like the Jay z one the best
One Direction covered it really well
Alphaville is the best but the imagine dragons one is good
Time flys so quickly and I miss my 80s so much that I used to listen to this song 😢
The Jay-Z song was the first one I heard and for that, it has my heart
Me too...I love Mr Hudson's voice...
Agree
no offense i respect your opinion but i like alphaville for me
Yesssirrrr Lex gooo
The rest are just singing but Alphaville has put soul in this song❤
One direction rip Liam Payne
Alphaville is the GOAT but Jay-Z is crazy nostalgic
Nothing can beat the 1984 forever young
The og and imagine dragons hit diff
Nothing can beat the original ❤❤❤
One Direction. just cause nostalgia
the pain in my heart after hearing this song trend all it did was take me back to them. i miss being naive
Exactly ❤😭
Definetly the 1984-Alphaville version ❤
“Life’s for living - not living uptight!” - Jay-Z
1984=original❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉best😊🎉😊🎉😊❤🎉❤🎉
The original and then Imagine Dragons. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One Direction!! all my teen memories as a directioner 😪
yeah i never knew that was a thing!!!
❤❤Fr 😭
yeah story of my life😂
Exactly nothing beats the original!
ALPHAVILLE FOR THE WIN🗣️🗣️🗣️
Alphaville is one of the most underrated bands of all times, Bernhard's keyboards, Frank's piano and Marian gold's voice is on another level. Even today after more 40 years, it feels very new. Marian gold is not only one of the greatest voices but also a great songwriter. And just like gold, marian's voice doesn't rust.
Thank you alphaville for giving us this masterpiece which will really will be forever young
Youth Group’s cover from 2006 was absolutely the best cover ever made for this song in my opinion.
The answer I was looking for. Their version reminds me of my teen years.
It's the best version ever! I dunno why it isn't in the video
fr
I thought youth group was the original,and the best......after endless replays i now think Alphaville....i grew up in the 80s and never heard it until 12 months ago....80s version all the way !
Nothing can beat the original
You can see in the 20th century people said “want to be” but as you can see in 2009 he said “wanna be” that’s the English language evolution
„I want to be“ fits Alphaville‘s version better than „I wanna be“
But i think the original is from a german band. So maybe that also influenced pronounciation
lol we used “wanna” in the 20th century. A few examples would be Whitney Houston “I wanna dance with somebody” Sheryl Crow “All I wanna do” etc…
The 2015 sang the "to"
nvm
Alphaville For Sure, But they're all good thou!
1D i just cried. i wanna br forever young 🥹😫😭
Forever Young I wanna be Forever. Nothing beats the first one. Let's dance in style Let's dance for a while heaven can we're only skies. Hoping the best but expecting the worst are you gonna drop the bomb or not.
Alphaville,still the OG cant beat anything
Alway's Simply Original Thing's Is Done
Alphaville is such a nostalgic childhood
New is cool but old is gold I’m going for 1984
Obviously the original, but the 2010 one gives a different vibe
Brandi Carlile did an amazing cover of Forever Young.
You cant beat the ogs but im gonna have to go with jay z
You have to do Youth Group’s interpretation. That’s the basis for the One direction version.
Alphaville and Mr. Hudson 💯
All ok but nothing can beat alphaville!❤❤
Forgot 2006 youth something. Aussie guys. For me the best
Definitely theirs first and third ones are the best but first is better
The old is gold, but the ID is a lot better than I thought it'd be.
I like both Coldplay and One Direction. I don’t know how to explain it but they both sounds so innocent and hopeful? While the original sounds like a powerful wish made by an older person. Same song, different feelings😌
2009 Team
The original wins ✌️✌️💖😊
Me hears Forever Young
BLACKPINK BLACKPINK BLACKPINK
No
No.
No
Rip liam payne this is for you
All of them but One direction. Especially Jay-Z though damn
alphaville takes the cake obviously, none will ever top the original
2010 just hits different 🗿
Seeing as it’s the worst yeah it does hit different
@@Turtle_on_da_skateboardthat’s objective 😂 in 2010 it was everywhere so i think it’s incredibly nostalgic
1984 because my mom was born in 1984
2010 fuck did I cry...
First heard this song from one direction. But original still the best 💕
Alphaville is craaazzyyyy
The original always wins🟩
Jay Z’s hits different
Old is gold, i prefer the original one ..
1984 and 2009 sound the same
no the FUCK they don’t 😭
😂😂😂 no way
@@JCVidZ0912 honestly just my opinion
@@m_.k_hazbinhelluva fair, sorry
@@JCVidZ0912it’s ok
Always Alphaville, but Imagine Dragons does it well.
Nothing can beat original
The original will always be the original best. But imagine dragons added something haunting to it that I just can’t shake.
original is just a classic and cannot be beaten
the og's are the best. bring it to me rain of nostalgia~
Original,sin dudas.Incomparable Marian.
There's also a 2005 version by the Australian band Youth Group. But I still like the original 1984 version.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE JAY-Z'S VERSION TOO THO BUT YES, ALPHAVILLE GETS IT ♥️
1989 but she's songs ❤she's voice so beautiful 😢❤❤
The original is the BEST.
By far the original version
Alphaville And Imagine Dragons Touched My Heart.
Jay-Z Almost Got Me.
Original but jayz is what introduced me to the original
Original is the best... 1984...
The og will always be number 1, but one direction, they did it pretty good
“The original can never be replaced”
-legend
2009 said "i Anna Bing forever yong"
Джей Зи с Бейонсой, базара тут нету 😁
Nothing beat the centrum silver version

Nostalgic 1984 and 2009 versions.
Old is gold 😔😭😢😥😟😓😖😣😩😫🤧
Nothing to compare.. no one can do better

They’re all good, but 1984 was a whole era and vibe, it’s the best!
