OK, am I just hallucinating or did I hear a "country" cover of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer"? I have no idea who it was, but it was ok. Just not the original that I love.
Does anyone know? I admit I know zip about country singers. |
Madonna's "American Pie" -- she left out half the verses! That song is a story and if you leave half of it you're completely butchering it.
Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton's "Big Yellow Taxi" is pretty bad. When Puff Daddy covered/sampled (? -- I'm not sure which term is more correct in this case) "Every Breath You Take." Creepy! |

I'm still bitter/pissed/angered about the cover of "Sweet Child O'Mine" by Sheryl Crow. Dag on it, it's a Guns & Roses song....KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!!! She butchered it!!!!

I think it became much more accepted after the Grammys where Puff Daddy performed with Sting -- like he was giving it the Sting stamp of approval. At any rate, I still thought it was pretty bad. |
I just heard a punk version of "Boys of Summer". It was um, interesting. Dunno that I like it. I've heard a techno version and that was okay.:rolleyes:

Thanks, Hootie, for telling me who covered "Tiny Dancer." I didn't think I dreamed it up. Actually, I thought it was a good cover of a great song.
I hated Puff Daddy's "Every Breath You Take." |

Now for a cover that rocks--Frente's take on "Bizarre Love Triangle." |

Tori Amos, however, covered it beautifully. I was pleasantly surprised. As I was driving home today, I heard someone doing a cover of "All Cried Out," originally by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam (yay 80s! lol). I was in so much shock from how horrible it was that I couldn't change the station. |
Who was it that covered Carol King's "It's too late"? Was it Sheryl Crow or Amy Grant? I don't believe (if it was Amy) she ever really released it. I just remember VH1 having some "divas" redo some of Carol King's music and I thought BOTH of the ladies did a song.

(I hate to admit that until you mentioned it, I never knew that it was a cover.) Tori does a lot of covers, and there are some that she does absolutely beautifully and others that are sort of . . . interesting. |
Anything Tori does is interesting... but I love most of it!
