"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!

Just saw the video to the original last night.
Best bit of the song is "AND GOD IS SEVEN!!!"

Agreed, it rules.

Yes, Mr. Happy loved to do that bit when he was around. He would go:

THEN THE GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD IS SEVEN! THEN THE GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD IS SEVEN!

Argh, All Saints killed the Chillies song Under the Bridge. So bloody poor I wanted to murder them!

Cover Version's are easily ignorable. In 20 years time, more people are gonna remember Chili's Under the Bridge than All Saints'.
