Absolutely. There's no denying she has a great voice, but she looks programmed. Probably enough for another thread here, but what do people feel is the best cover version of any song.
Aaargh no. I heard that and was throwing things at the telly. She's taken a beautiful song, one of the best Irish songs to have been written in years, and has turned it into more of the same mass-produced musak that offends my ears on radio daily.

You mean generally or in X-Factor?
Generally, I'd say Step On by Happy Mondays or Jealous Guy by Roxy Music.

Mental note to self do not rant about how much hype x-factor gets, it just encourages more talk about said x-factor!
Can somebody please explain why all the hype around the x-factor, It was in all the papers last week and this weekend, apparently some girl who can sing got voted off!! (well it is a competition). Now, Gerry Ryan every morning has a load of eejits ringing in to give their criticism and loves of the show, they talk about the contestants like they personally know them giving it 'ah but sure she really deserves this'. I just don't get it at all - it's a bloody English singing competition and I stand to be corrected on this but I don't think the republic can even vote!. Even the brothers girlfriend texted me on Saturday night to ask me to check the teletext to see who got voted off! - Normally I can ignore the x-factor and other such crap programmes but this year for some reason it seems to be very high profile..............why??
Rant over sorry!

I do understand fans being up in arms and passionate about their favourite contestant but what baffles me is that the English parliament actually commented on that girls eviction the next day....dont they have better things to worry about?
And, I heard on the radio yesterday that Gordon Brown wrote to the guy who was most recently voted off!!! - what the hell............... :mad:

My personal favourite has to be Eloise by The Damned. The original sounds dreadful, but The Damned made it into a wonderful thing.
Excellent.
The Sisters of Mercy did some great covers, mostly live. Their version of Jolene was great.
Goth band doing Dolly Parton - brilliant!
Jimi Hendrix's cover of Dylan's All along the watchtower far surpassed the original, for me.
I seem to recall that the Sisters of Mercy played quite a number of covers, some of them a little unexpected. I'd imagine much of this would be down to Mr. Eldritch's sense of humour.
Who can forget their killer versions of Gimme Gimme Gimme (a man after midnight), Emma (Hot Chocolate)? Wonderful stuff. Less frivolous, but nonetheless brilliant was their take on Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones.
Is this the same Eloise that Paul and Bary Ryan did so eloquently about 40 years ago. Ooops, did I just say 40My personal favourite has to be Eloise by The Damned. The original sounds dreadful, but The Damned made it into a wonderful thing.
