"Doing a cover version the correct way..."

Liberty X have done a cover of some song that I recognised, I don't know who it's by but it's called 'Being Nobody.'

It's different to the original, they've changed it and it sounds quite good...

I'm fine with groups doing covers and that's why I congratulate Liberty X on actually doing a proper cover of a song...

Don't get me started on Gareth, Will and Westlife...

They've all done covers, most notably 'Uptown Girl' by Westlife which was EXACTLY the same as the origiginal!

The vines also did a cover of 'Sorry Ms Jackson' by Outcast, it's good because they've made it completely different to the original. It's a lot slower than before and being different has made it really good...

If, you're gonna cover a song, at least make it sound different...

And you don't want to know how close I was to posting this in the life forum!

You mean there is one?

Good god.

Avril Lavignes cover of Chop Suey by System Of a Down is just bullucks.

Just heard the jimmy eat world firestarter cover
pretty good.
Got the sort of thing that you'd expect from them.
The end had a cool little thing going for it

After you said that I went and got it.

It's interesting to see how they've changed it etc. Quite good.

Best cover is easily

Obviously it was bad, but it was just SO FUNNY. I cracked up when she started doing the chorus nu-metal stylee.

Elbow's cover of Destiny's Child's "Independant Woman", with it's excellent xylophone section.

Sheer genius. Even more so when accompanied by the kittens.

I'd like to see/hear Sclub7 cover "Smack my b1tch up".

House of the rising sun should be buried on a desert island never to be found again.

Firestarter by Jimmy Eat World is a good one,

Absoultely nothing like the Prodigy One.

Another good one is Muse's Cover of the 'House of the rising sun'.
