What's the best cover you've EVER EVER HEARD?!?!?!?!?!!? ?!?!?!





Umbrella by Mandy Moore. f**k Rihanna! Mandy does it so much better. :P

At least Mandy Moore's pronunciation is better!

Yeah, I really like Mandy Moore's version.

But I'm not sure what song that I've heard was VERY VERY good.

I just know I like..
Beautiful girls - Jojo (despite the lyrics since I'm a guy -- it's just the tone of her voice sounds good with the beat)

& Time After Time - Quietdrive.

Not sure if it's the best I've heard EVER EVER. lol.

One that lots of cbers probably don't know, but that Static-X cover of Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment by the The Ramones.

That or when Local H covered Britney Spears' Toxic.

I was JUST going to write that. LOVE this cover. Soooo good.



& Mandy Moore's version PWNS Rihanna's. But I love how in the video they're playing the Rihanna video while MM is singing.

I didn't know she covered it!

*YouTubes*

Awwwwwwwww! Tonsssss better, and Mandy has gotten so much more soulful. But dang, the close-ups aren't very flattering.

ANYWAY. I might as well consider Johnny Cash's "Hurt" to be the original.

Mads Andreas's cover of Gotta Have You is even better than the original by the Weepies.

i like marie digby's cover of umbrella along with mandy's (:

Whaaat? I didn't know Mandy covered Umbrella! I'm going to have to go find that.

I have a lot of favorite covers, here are some:
Jolene by The White Stripes
Head over heels by Kids in the Way
Feeling Good by Muse
Dream Scream by Death Cab for Cutie
They Can't Take That Away by Becky Filip

And others, I'll edit later or something. haha

Don't You Forget About Me - Billy Idol

Oh, I almost forgot about Deadstar Assembly's rendition of Real Life's "Send Me An Angel." Additionally, I just found this, which is an amazing cover of Explosions in the Sky's "Your Hand in Mine." Anberlin's "Uncanny" cover is great, as well.

"Take My Breath Away" by Copeland is rather nice... I'm not sure who the original song is by, but it's one of those songs I remember hearing as a kid in the car.

"Let Go" by Boys Like Girls.
It sounds so much like Imogen Heap.
Probably because Martin can sing so high.

But I also LOVE the "Umbrella" covers by Gerard Way and Marie Digby.

^ Oh, I never heard of that. I'ma try to listen to it since I love the song "Let Go" by Imogen Heap.

I just youtubed Mandy Moores 'Umbrella' cover, it's so much better than the original.

boys of summer - the ataris

it'll always be a fave.

ooh, 'The Alamo is no place for dancing' cover by Alex Kaneko& Will Sturgeon.
Original song by the scene aesthetic :D

OMG YES! How'd I forget that one!?

lifehouse - somewhere only we know

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia26w-uWm_g

it's..amazing; I love both versions




wow boys like girls' version of let go is sooooo good. i love martin's voice

Kanye West - Stronger

I will Always Love You - Whitney Houston > Dolly Parton
This Woman's Work - Maxwell > Kate Bush'

MARIE DIGBY'S VERSION OF UMBRELLA FTW!!!

Guillemots version of Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out." And, right now, I really like Nouvelle Vague's "Dancing With Myself."

It's actually by Frou Frou. ;]
And if you need help finding it, it's in the AOL Under Cover Sessions.

I looooove the Arctic Monkeys version of Love Machine by Girls Aloud.

So funny.

Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World" (originally by Tears for Fears) is gorgeous.

"Black Magic Woman" was originally done by Fleetwood Mac, but Santana made it famous for a damn good reason (it's much better than the original).

Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" is a classic (also for good reason), but I also like the Otis Redding original.

I'm sure there's much more.

OMG, yes. That really is amazing..

Plus, DonnieDarkoLove

Kanye West - Stronger
Umbrella - Scott Simon?
Beauty and the beast - Jump5

I absolutely love Death From Above 1979's cover of Bloc Party's Luno. I also like these covers (original artist in brackets):

Bigmouth Strikes Again - Placebo (The Smiths)
Penelope - PlayRadioPlay! (Pinback)
Darling Nikki - Foo Fighters (Prince)
Naïve - Lily Allen (The Kooks)
Especially For You - MYMP (Kylie Minogue & Jason Donovan)
Only Hope - Mandy Moore (Switchfoot)
Let Go - A Static Lullaby (Frou Frou)
Roxanne - Fall Out Boy (The Police)
Better Off Dead - Death From Above 1979 (La Peste)
Running Up That Hill - Placebo (Kate Bush)

Ooooh I want to hear the Lily Allen cover.
And that version of "Let Go" is really good too, but Boys Like Girls's is still better.

I'm gonna bump this so I don't get yelled at for making a new one, haha.

Scott Simon's Umbrella has got to be the best version I've ever heard:


And of course the beautiful Camile Velasco's cover of No One:

David Cook's rendition of Always Be My Baby

Plane White T's Umbrella is the best cover.

Like everyone else i like Mandy Moores cover of Umbrella

I also like Prima Js - Nadie which is for No One. has spanish and english
I also like Fall Out Boys - Beat It ( not better than the first but still pretty good )

I'm really liking Adele's version of 'Last Nite' by The Strokes at the moment. Nicely different from the original, methinks.
