    I can't make up my mind if this is the best cover ever.....or the worst.

    Saw her the day of that gig walking down Chapel Street. Would smash her back door in all night long...

    I like that cover Webel, better voice than the whiney Sid wannabe.

    Susan Boyle is pretty much ****ing awful with every song she sings... but check out her version of 'Enjoy the Silence' by Depeche Mode <grr>... <doh>... :emoticon-0121-angry

    That's one of me favourite songs so I won't check it out, I'd prefer not to hear it being murdered.

    I spent all 4 minutes of watching that video thinking how I like that song and I'd love to shag her. For some reason the cover didn't offend me.

    You know how you know I'm getting a bit ****ty liberal in my old age, I actually quite like the Scissor Sisters, including that tune (which I wasn't aware was a cover of anything).

    I was looking for that other ex-Neighbours actress performing this but thankfully I can't even remember her name anymore so Kylie's version will do. Aussie soap actors have a unique ability to murder otherwise great songs:

    That Scissor Sisters cover is great, they reinterpret it in a disco style and they are talented at doing that.

    Pink Floyd. Like you I don't know their stuff that well, really should listen to it, they're probably in the top 10 bands of all time.

    Dark Side of the Moon was one of my favourite albums back in my smoking days, but I was shallow enough to never go further. Listening to the Pink Floyd version now, sounds very slow...

    Scissor Sisters took the song and reinterpreted it, you'd hardly recognise it as the Floyd, that is a good cover.

    Most covers are true to the original but...just ****.

    I was going to post some Leona Lewis videos, but I thought it was a bit redundant since we all know and agree that they all are ridiculously bad covers.
