Re: Covers that are better than the originals
Soft Cell's cover of "Where Did Our Love Go?", it's the B-side to Tainted Love and is surprisingly good.

The Streets - Your Song > Elton John - Your Song > Ellie Goulding - Your Song.
Let the Sky millions roar the team home. Let the bulging cash account suck a goal into the Gallowgate net when it’s most needed.
I’m out; let them sink or swim without me, for the near future at least.

I haven't heard The Streets murdering Your Song but I imagine it will be deeply dreadful like the rest of his s****.Star-Lord Mehdi wrote:The Streets - Your Song > Elton John - Your Song > Ellie Goulding - Your Song.

Re: Covers that are better than the originals
thats possibly the worst cover i've ever heard
"Lethal Bizzle - Flutes" is better than "New World Sound & Thomas Newson - Flute (Original Mix)"

Re: Covers that are better than the originals
I quite liked his first album. Loads of pop songs have empty lyrics
Sharing articles no-one reads since 2012

'We first met through a shared view.
She loved me and I did too.'
One of the best lyrics there is, tbh.

Surely not
The singer in muse sounds like a cat being castrated with a cheese grater, could never come close to doing Nina Simone justice.

I like the song better personally and i like Matt Bellamy's voice.

Re: Covers that are better than the originals
Matt Bellamy is a laughably bad singer and a mediocre guitarist at best.

Re: Covers that are better than the originals
There's no real way to debate his voice since that's subjective (you must listen to Muse all the time if his voice makes you laugh) but to say he's a mediocre guitarist is a bit harsh. Clearly he can play the guitar to a good standard, some of his songs have pretty difficult melodies and that, and his improvisation is pretty skilled. I'm a fan so i'm obviously biased, but I'm trying to be objective in saying that he is more than a mediocre guitarist.Ramone wrote:Matt Bellamy is a laughably bad singer and a mediocre guitarist at best.
