Smooth Criminal

As good as Michael Jackson's version is, I'll take Alien Ant Farm's version any day!

[Wesley]

Come Together by The Beatles.

I think I prefer this version because I grew up listening to Aerosmith, not the Beatles.

[Eff]

I would have post the man who sold the world by kurt cobain, cover for a David bowie, which is ALOT BETTER then the original, but i wouldn't like to risk our good friendship, so i won't.

Connie talbot, from american or britain most talented show. she 's a little girl singing "i will allways love you" she is one of a kind: (i'm speakers-less at the moment so i hope its a good one)

It was good quality.
But honestly. The special thing about this kid is that she seems to be totaly unafraid, and unashamed to perform in front of a big audience.
She gives a perfect performance.
There is one very important thing that I miss though. And that is feeling. There is no feeling in her singing. It's just technique. She doesn't "live" the song.
And I think she's way to young to be exposed to this kind of attention.

[Eff]

You know what? you're apsolutely right. she is cute and a beauty she sings great she had a great voice ,but yeah its kind of 'numb' way to sing.

did you checked the 'boyce-avenue' ? that was the 3 brothers,( Bella liked them)

I will take a chance risking my friendship with Blondie, here's 'the man who sold the world' kurt's cover for Bowie song. better then the original

Weird Al Jankovic - You don't love me anymore (it's not actually a cover of the original song but of the video)

Ohh my.. i actually waited for Dow's to post Al's covers.
You know i think Al should have his own thread.

In my opinion, Marilyn Manson does excellent covers. He did wonders with Tainted Love, Sweet Dreams, Golden Years (that's right, a Bowie cover), Five To One, and Highway to Hell. The one cover he did that I was disappointed in was a duet with Trent Reznor of the song Like A Virgin. That was just weird....

[Eff]

I was looking for covers for this one, and ther are not many of'em,and i tried to figure out if the ppl really play it or its a fake....Then i found this one, and that is funny .no fake.

[Eff]

This vid' Forky is worth watching ,so funny! its better to watch from 1:15 when they start to sing.

I would kill Anyone to live in this room. ANYONE .

GWAR, School's Out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTFKxP8TMtI
White Zombie's Children of the Grave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36nj-TS420Y
The Animal's House of the Rising Sun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C86oH5RwyJg
Those are just a few off the top of my head.

[Wesley]

Aren't those originals? Did somebody cover those songs?

[Eff]

children of the grave is black sabbath , The house of the raising sun is Lead Belly's , I love him (thank-you Pete,who made me familiar with this great artist) The other..I don't know.
Lot'sa songs we know from great bands\singers or from our childhood are lead smurf belly's .

[Wesley]

If you want to walk that slippery slope, almost all music and broadcast media are copies of something from a generation or two ago. Don't point fingers too quickly.

[Pete McGiveris]

Your welcome effie. As for the other, School's Out was by Alice Cooper. You don't remeber the Coop man?

[Wesley]

Must have missed that link. Clicked the others, though. I like Alice Cooper. He was great in The Prince Of Darkness.
