I was going to say this as a joke, but being honest...Disturbed's version is more powerful, whereas S&G's is more upbeat and song-like which doesn't seem to fit the lyrics to me...

No it's not.

Really? I mean, I'll post both to compare but I personally found Disturbed's more emotional.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but how in the whole heck is the original "upbeat"?

I guess it was the wrong wording, but I guess...faster paced? I listened to it again and it was definitely somber, so...eh. Both versions have their own merits I guess I could say.

Disturbed's cover is hot garbage because it completely misses the point of the original. The dude from Disturbed puts too much of an emphasis on strong vocals with heavy production that's trying hard not to come off as not heavily produced.
The original is stripped back, somber, with a somewhat deadpan tone to it which directly meshes with the lyrics and what tone they're going for.
The dude from Disturbed practically sounds like he's singing a Christmas carol in church like Silent Night or some shit. It just doesn't work at all.

Similar to how the dude who covered Mad World completely missed the point. The Tears for Fears original is supposed to have an upbeat instrumental and tone that directly contrasts the actually depressing lyrics and subject matter.

I definitely disagree about Tainted Love, considering this is the original:
