What are some songs covered that you prefer and even love more than the original that was released between 2000 and 2019?

For me ones that come to mind atm.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse - Valerie (though I didn't like it much initially).

Gary Jules and Michael Andrews - Mad World

Adele - Make You Feel My Love

Muse - Feeling Good

P!nk - Try

Sugababes - 'Freak Like Me'

love the flip of the Adina Howard original with added Tubeway Army production <3

Would need to put thought into this but instant stand out for me is Stereophonics - Handbags and Gladrags, just kind of "feel" more from it. The story feels more understandable some how.

The original is great, but Disturbed's version of Sound of Silence is absolutely superb. An entirely different presentation of the song, the drama, the build, all just brilliant.

Has to be the Rod Stewart cover for me or the duet with Stereophonics.

For 'I Drove All Night' I prefer the Roy Orbison version to Cyndi Lauper - more emotive.

I prefer Rage's cover of Brian Adams' Run To You to the original slightly but the original is still very good.

Neither of these are 21st century :P

Sorry didnt read the opening post enough.

Heaven by DJ Sammy and Do is for me a good bit better than the Bryan Adams original.
