^ Don't like Elton John's music at all. This cover is gorgeous though.

So a few weeks ago I heard this version of Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone."
Wish I could remeraber who did it. A Day To Remeraber?
Anyways, I really liked it! lol

That's why I used the qualifying term "slightly". It wins by the simple fact that it's not Britney Spears.

I thought the Jack Holmes original of D&C is good but anyone who says its better than Zeps version is just being a pretentious twat I think.



Hell f*cking no, that version is a funny novelty but in the end they took a great pop song and turned it into a generic nu metal thing, blaaaaaaaaaah.

Jackson version wipes the f*cking floor with it.

Heavier =/= Edgier =/= Better

Ehh, nothing really it's just I'm more of a Metallica fan that's all.

RE: Smooth Criminal... I just think they took a pop song and made it into... another pop song. Nothing monumental, just a pop song that appeals to me more than it's orignal.

yeah, i said that the original was good, but tbh, that was the only song i could think of
