Thx
Some say cover versions can never be better than the original, ie they're just wannabe's.
I have to disagree, and I cite Jolene - Sisters Of Mercy (original, Dolly Parton).
I guess there's two kinds of cover version. One when they try to copy the original as closely as they can... and can never quite manage it. Two, an adaptation. Like that Sisters track... Andrew Eldritch singing about "Astbury" (from The Cult) puts a whole different spin on things.

Different but great
Amazing, and *brilliant* cover of When The Levee breaks by A Perfect Circle. From an album of similarly odd covers, if that's you kind of thing.

I'd put this one into the wannabe pile,
She has an interesting voice and can sing (www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw)
but just listened to some of her songs, all the ones I listened to seemed not to fit her voice and sounded crap

"wannabe"?
Weird term to use about one of the most successful singers of all time.
Was Elvis just a wannabe?
