good stuff

nice cover!

it isn't as good as the original Ye as Randy said, but hell, thats the greatest cover of the song I've heard for damn sure. Very unique

"I wnt stop wnt mess my groove up cuz I already know how this thang goes"...AWW it hasnt even been out that long and pple r n love...That MTV show Taking The Stage(dnt watch but caught an episode) n sum chix sang HEARTLESS 4her christmas performance. I guess pple have felt like that...HOW COULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESS:)

Great cover!
btw. have you heard this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygg3Nfy25Gs
Reminds you of asher roth - i love college ??

Lmao, better than the original? yeah right

HAHA funni shit...called the ex a minute ago n screamed "JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU TALKN 2ME THO"... he called me bac n i was blasting that 2the point he doesnt like the song cuz of me JANUARY I TORCHED HIM WIT HEARTLESS haha FUCK HIM!

good cover, definitely prefer the original though

I like this cover of the song a lot...I hope Ye is flattered by it.
I like this guy's singing version and of course i like Ye's rap version.

Horrible, but he sings better than you LOL.

Homeboy killed it!!! Ye if dude doesn't win you need to sign him to GOOD Music. He's is crazy talented and artistic.

good rendition!

Loving all the creativity your songs inspire. Great to see it bring new talent!

sorry not feeling it. Sometimes in life a song comes along and that's the song there is no other. Kanye's Music is like that unique in it's own right. His performance is like a good knock-off of a Coach bag not bad to the average person but a fake to the expierienced listener.

ummmmm. *cricket cricket* Mia from MTV's Taking The Stage did better with this song

I can't see the video right now. Just yesterday, I was wondering if there was a female version to this song. I will check this out soon though.

its definitely not better than the original but it's a nice try :-)

That was pretty dope but not better than the original. He is a good artist and i think that song will bring out the best of any real musician and the worst of fakes.You got to come from the heart...

@rukiyar feeling what u say... sometimes....there is no other....Kanye`s music...unique... but homie can sing yo...plus the lyrics for Heartless would sound good in fcuking klingon!

Uhhh not better than Ye's but definitely kicked ass. I love it more than the Frays. A lot stronger. I wanna download it!

Damn... I can't believe Randy said it was better than the original version!! It was good but not that good... I am so hoping Kris wins it now though! I have a new respect for him.

a good cover...but doesnt come close to ye's

i love how your songs have been covered by pop artists. honestly, it sounds like a pop song, i mean, it's "pop friendly".
do you like your song be covered by pop artists?
:D

First things first, Adam Lambert for American Idol...hands down!Well...I enjoyed Mr. Allen's effort and his own lil TWIST on "Heartless". I see it like this each individual American Idol final Contestant is ALL reaching towards the same goal---to win. So, of course, the songs that they'll sing by various recording artist, is NOT neccesarily going to sound exactly like or may not be even remotely CLOSE to the original.

Continued:
I mean sometimes it's better, or even worse. They still have to put their OWN edge to it...even though somes "edge" is the reason why they're not in the FINALS now. Besides, this is going to be the HIGHLIGHT of Kris Allen's "senior year" so to speak. So, whether he wins the title or not, he's still a WINNER! Just based off of the fact that Kanye finds it "decent" enough to feature it. But in a way it's also UNFAIR for the other contestants...but isn't that the "stragetic game " of "the industry"? Possibly. I say receive it however it comes...some get FAST break like Chris Daughtry, while others have to play the WHOLE round like Carrie, Jordin, Kelly, Clay (hm), Ruben and Fantasia. Only the BEST man wins in the end.

RE: Basketball games @thoughtlovemeant4ever :
Only you and Lifeisbeautiful have been talking about the GAME, in which I've missed every last one! Mannnnn!...anyway, who's going to the FINALS ? I said earlier this year if The Pistons didn't make it, I was going with The Lakers. Are The Lakers going? I mean a GOOD game would've been The Pistons VS The Lakers again...cause in 2004 Lakers GOT WHIPPED by the Pistons! (Sigh) But I guess there will be no more "potty training" lessons taught at all from the Pistons! I mean, after Iverson hurt his back, the switch coaches for the 3rd time, AND Chaunie left? That was it. Bottom line The Lakers....

I liked it. When I made my CD, I put your version and The Fray's version back to back. I love the beat on yours though Kanye.

The chick Mia Coruthers did a way better job on covering this (she's on taking the stage)

i liked it better than the frays cover but it is definitely NOT better than the original like randy said!

COLD! A true testament to timeless music! Big look!

@tuesdainoelle YEA Ms. Ladi...We beat the rockets las nite so now the series is 3-2 LAKERS. Girl I love the Lakers HANDS dwn. Plus I jus love sports Matter Fact WE JUS WON THE PENGINS 6-2 YEAAAA (N Pittsburgh we dnt have a basketbakk team so when its not STEELER SEASON...we watch HOCKEY!! I def am a sports fan!!!

not better than the original.

As soon as this came on I told one of my friends that U were gonna post this on ur blog and dammit was I right!!

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL????......Randy you need to shut the hell up

i think he killed it

@thoughtlovemeant4ever:
Great! And I LOVE the game too! I LOVE the loud giggling until my stomach, hurt, while yellin to the top of my thugs at each player , when they won't throw the BALL...lol...I've never been much into Hockey though, they move to fast for my eyes.....

i had to watch it again. atleast he can sing though and he made it his own. maybe i was a BIT too uhhh... (harsh?) lol. b/c of this, I may watch the finale and I dont bother with this show

Yal know he killed it so stop ass kissing and sugar coating it. This takes nothing away from Ye's artistry or the original version which is dope. Kanye is in a class by himself, but I must give credit where credit is due. Ye is a big boy he can stand the truth.

:) yea they do plus its cold went 2 afew games but i rathered watch from home!

haha, wow, kanye meets jack johnson? sounds terrible on paper, but the guy really put his heart into it and did a great job. i appreciate it when people take the opportunity to do something completely different with a cover song (if you don't, why are you bothering in the first place?). i can see it now - this guy singing the hook on a track on ye's next album

smooth

dude butchered the song imo

lol@ Noelle. Naw, that was me being a hater and then retracting. And Randy does need to quit. NOT better than the original but good. Im done now :)

rule the world with your songs, kanye

see Ye, I told you he killed it! but I couldnt find one this quality on youtube, thanx for the post, peace

Kris Allen performed the hell out of your song Ye. Probably the best one of that night. Randy I think got a little to excited saying his was better than yours. Nobody beats the original. It was a dope cover though!

Kanye this performance right here made me just totally reevaluate my favorite musical artist of all time: Kanye West. I have known from day one when I first saw the video for through the wire before radio stations in boston even knew who you were that you were a talented producer and song writer. Then I listed to all of your stuff over and over and over AND OVER again and then watched you progress. Now, after 808s I really knew you were in it to change the face of music in the modern era. Now this cover right here actually made me realize how influential you truly are, and it proves to the world that you are amongst the greatest of all the music industry. You are a "Rap" artist, who has produced, written, and composed a piece of work that made it onto American Idol? If someone was not told or ever heard Heartless before and then was presented with this performance, they could never guess that a "Rap" artist wrote this. That is because one didn't, you are an Artist Kanye

I love it! I love Mia's version from "Taking the Stage" on MTV too! But of course, your original version is THE BEST! Love you Mr. West! :)

hands down better than the fray.

I loved it! I was wanting him to do this song!
