Now you're making me feel very old :cry:

 

Sorry :( I did only discover the song within the last 18months.

I shamefully own that 'ABBA Mania' on CD! HAHA. One of the first ever albums I recieved :lol: I was absoloutely, madly in love with Steps' version of 'Lay All Your Love On Me' :blush:. Didn't like any of the other covers much though :lol:

I LOVE the B*Witched version of Does Your Mother Know

Ah yesss! I actually liked that more than the Steps track, I just forgot about it :( [/flop-fan]

what is the point of Glee ??? why dont they just produce compilations of the "originals" and we dont have to suffer the awful singers

 

put it this way The old TOTP LP's sound better than anything Glee have ever done

I second that Mushy!

 

Saying the Leona Lewis version is better than Snow Patrol's is an insult! Run by SNOW PATROL is one of my fav song ever. Leona just really messes it up with her screeching.

 

Anyway as for covers...

 

Muse - Feeling good :lol:

 

Will think of more later

 

 

Didn't Snow Patrol even say that they thought Leona's version was better?

 

Slash feat. Fergie (from BEP) & Cypress Hill - Paradise City

 

I think it's really good. Although I don't find it better than the original i know a couple of people who think it is.

good idea pete, glee is turning retro tracks into a karaoke commodity which is kinda ruining there retro image.

not bothered, it doesnt make it a fact, i hate ott vocal gymnastics, i hate wailing bints, leona fits this description!

Leona Lewis' version of Run is about as good as her cover of Stop Crying Your Heart Out i.e. crud.
