Cover discussion

[edit]

Discussions on whether this is a cover version can be discussed in here. Points to consider though:

  • Based on the liner notes, Tokio Hotel had additional writing for their version, while the Rock Mafia had additional writing for Clarkson's.
  • Clarkson claimed "I have never seen this & apparently finding out through my publisher that the other writers didn't submit y'all as writers".

Separate articles?

[edit]

Should this article be split into separate ones for Tokyo Hotel and Kelly Clarkson? I find this slightly confusing. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:54, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Both artists should not be included in the page's title. If anything, it should be Tokio Hotel with a sub-section dedicated to Clarkson's rendition, as per standard of other articles tackling the same nature. livelikemusic my talk page! 21:31, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • I really think is a cover too, so kind of moved it. But as there is no published primary source for BOTH parties claiming that TH has the original and Clarkson's is the cover. We shouldn't be too quick to count it out just yet. The main primaries, the liner notes of the releases themselves, contradict each other. And the TH claim on Twitter was actually a josepvinaixa.com screen grab. Chihciboy (talk) 21:39, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Josepvinaixa is far from a reliable source, so that fact that the band are using them is quite comical. It's clear, from what I've seen, that the demo was given to both TH and KC, and they each did something to do from the original demo they received... what they did? Who knows! livelikemusic my talk page! 21:42, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, Josepvinaixa is not reliable. I took a stab at trying to separate the content, but I am not sure how successfully. We can always revert. My goal was to have a single Background section for the content that is applicable to both, with subsequent sections for the content which is unique to each version. This is a funny situation... ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's actually a very sad situation; Clarkson was mislead (by RCA Records) in this situation, and is now receiving death threats to both her and her daughter, over a damn song. livelikemusic my talk page! 22:10, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was not aware. I've not done any research about this song, and actually, when I said "funny" I meant "odd" not haha funny. User:livelikemusic, do you like the article's current format? ----Another Believer (Talk) 22:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I imagine both sections could use additional expanding, especially if Clarkson's version has received a lot of coverage. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently there is also an Interscope Records artist claiming to have also received the same demo, but passed on to the project. Chihciboy (talk) 22:21, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
