I am a 'teenage fan' and yes they are bloody gorgeous but I still appreciate their music, their talent and the hard work they put into everything they do. Xx
This was amazing but seriously guys u can't go around saying a cover is better than the original. An original song is always going to be like the better copy. This song is James bay's and these are his lyrics they have their own special meaning to him which makes every original better. But the vamps did great, the cover was amazing and I loved the drums. 👌
