Recommended Posts

We have allready a worst cover version topic, but what about the covers who are actually better than the orignal ones?

 

Let me start with a cover performed by Céline: Drove all night was originally recorded by Roy Orbinson who unfortunately died before the song was released. I think that the cover is better than the original song by Roy.

IDAN is also better then Cyndi laupers version ;) LOL

 

Oke it's lame but i'll mention then anywayz:

 

IACBTMN, TPOL, ABM, IWCT, RDMH (especially live), LOL

all these songs Céline made her own!

 

and hmm non-céline, I'll have to think about that! LOL

 

oh at least Sandi Thom's live cover of Crazy by CHarles Barkly or whatever his name is! It's sooo good! :wub2:

 

also Whitney's IWALY made Dolly's version tremble!

On a technicality Cyndi Lauper was the original IDAN as she released her version before Orbison. Out of them all i have to say i prefer Cyndi's version best, although i love Celine's dancier version. So if i had a choice it'd be Cyndi, but if i was in a club Celine....

 

I also prefer Dolly's version of IWALY, more depth to it. It seems more emotional and in the moment, whereas Whitney's it's obvious it's been marked out where she's gonna belt a note etc if ya get me....

 

Staying with Dolly, i've loved her covers of Balls Of Fire and Downtown. Downtown being a recent one i've gotten into....

I'm probably a bit biased, but I much prefer the Reba McEntire/Kelly Clarkson version of "Because Of You" to Kelly's original. I love the original so much, but Reba adds so much to the song.

Nah... I don't get it :ermm: :hmm: Whitney's cover is emotional, no doubt!! I prefer Whitney's version. Maybe becoz I heard hers first. Anyway, when Whitney belt the notes is just awwwwe :wub: :clap: :wub: Yeah.. C'mon girl xD lol She is sooo good<3
