Well I ran into this video of Jesse McCartney singing "Buy You a Drank" I was wondering if there is a certain song that your favorite artist covered? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2jmQ8n4ORs I love this too, Aly and Aj covers a "Black horse in a Cherry tree" |

Well, the first cover song that comes to mind is Down in a Hole by Ryan Adams. I think it's originally by Alice in Chains.

Garbage, No Doubt and The Distillers live cover of Blondie's Call Me was also very awesome.

A lot of covers I hear aren't good, but the covers listed in this thread are actually pretty good.
Haha, and woah, Jesse DOES sing that pretty darn well ;o & That Leona Lewis cover of Run is great. :D My Faves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6hxhLzPTR8 (the maine - i wanna love you) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWWpBWG3Zwo (bekay - a journey, not really sure if this can be considered a cover since the lyrics are changed?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sccSE-rQ7p4 (nada surf - if you leave) |

Tori Amos covering the song "smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana. Although I love this woman to death, she killed "hurt" by Nine Inch Nails when she covered it. She shot it, stabbed it, danced on it and shot it again.
And, I do like A Perfect Circle's cover of the song "imagine". |

Haha, Moni posted that in one of her bulletins and I was like wow.. Jessie's verson > T-Pain.
And um agreed with Jerome on Off By One's cover of Torn. I also like Marie Digby's Umbrella and Nada Surf - If You Leave. The Startling Line - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now Yellowcard - Everywhere And I know she's not famous, but I just love her cover.. Well, it's not really a cover since she re-wrote it and it's in English now, but whatever. aozorafantasii - Replay |

^ I think the original is wayyyyyyyy better. That's just like when Korn decided to cover Radiohead's "Creep". :(

OMG I can't believe I left out Mat Weddle(of Obadiah Parker)'s version of Hey Ya! It's amazing, I used to listen to it like, every day.
 http://www.youtube.com/v/8-8nkkOA_AM&hl=en This is the acoustic version w/ just him singing. There's a studio version w/ the whole band involved(but I prefer this one). |

John Mayer's version of Free Fallin'. Just GUH, it's insanely beautiful. He's so much better live than on cd. I listen to Where The Light is like, every day.

Currently in love with Yael Naim's version of Toxic by Britney.
You don't really get enough French-Israeli singer-songwriters knocking around. |
