If you think that's taking the piss, clouseau, what do you make of this?
Roger The Butler 26 Jul 16 19:54 johnn 26 Jul 16 13:09 Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" versus Nine Inch Nails. Leona Lewis' version (yes, Leona Lewis, and I know that sounds ludicrous but I am serious) is even better than both of them. Give it a go: Tbf, I haven't heard Leona Lewis' version but I seriously doubt whether I need to! |

omfg mdh... apologies for the acronyms but it is times like that, when real passion and emotion is super-ceded by vacuous singalongs that I no longer despair for mankind's fate and wish I was a penguin.

Birdy - People help the People, beautiful cover of a Cherry Ghost song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmLNs6zQIHo However, I'm disagreeing with Cooperman above. With 'Skinny Love' I think Bon Iver's raw emotion gives it an edge compared to Birdy's version. Great performance from a 14 y.o though! for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrMmr1oMPGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNzCDt2eidg |

All those who say Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt' - Yeah It's understandable, but for me it can't touch the sheer pain and self pitying hopelessness of Reznor's original.

Set Fire To The Rain - Andrew Muccitelli

Snow - Run
1000x better than Leonna Lewis's nonsense Stranglers - Walk on by Kim Wilde - Leave me hanging on - better than the Suprmemes version which i find surprising as i normally always prefer motown originals |

Oasis I Am The Walrus, better than The Beatles I am The Walrus.
