It's been covered numerous times on these type of shows through the years and the biggest throw-off everytime is the horrendous backing track. Either use the original or don't bother at all. Instead, everytime the shows opt for this awful cheap karaoke sounding backing-track.
More to the point however, based on the several covers I'm referring too, including Chris Martins, it's become more and more evident just how difficult a song Beautiful Day is to cover, surprisingly. It's one of them which suits Bono's voice and only his voice. Any other attempt always sounds either flat, out of tune or karaoke.
