MELODY MONDAY: GENIE - I DON'T LOVE YOU


Melody Monday is here again. Today, I choose I Don't Love You covered by Genie in King of Mask Singer Korean originally from Urban Zakapa.

Lyrics: 
What should I say?
Where do I start?
I drop my head
and you're looking at me
in this awkward silence

I don't love you
You probably already know
Even if you cry
My heart doesn't hurt
I don't love you
There is no other reason
I don't even want to say the words "I'm sorry" or "forgive me"

That's all there is
That's how I really feel
I don't love you
I don't love you

I don't love you
You probably already know
Even if you cry
My heart doesn't hurt

That's all there is
That's how I really feel
I don't love you
I don't love you

There is no other reason
I don't even want to say the words "I'm sorry" or "forgive me"
That's all
That's how I really feel
I don't love you
I don't love you


The vibe between the original and the covered one is quite different. Honestly, both are good, however, I prefer Kyuhyun's version more. His version is more heart-rending. It is more heartbreaking especially on the part where he confessed he no longer loved her. You can just feel it that he loved her, but there is a barrier that keeps him from loving her. Kyuhyun's voice is just cheff's kiss. His sweet voice suits the song's vibe so much. He is not a ballad prince for nothing.

The original by Urban Zakapa:

Genie/Kyuhyun version:

(G)I-DLE version:

Gummy and Kang Seung Yoon version:

So, which one do you like best? Let me know in the comment section.

Well, that is all for now. Have a good day.
