According to the UK's Daily Mail, Celine Dion's cover version of the AC/DC track "You Shook Me All Night Long" has been voted the worst cover song.

 

Dion has never released the song as a single but performed the "musical offense" at a Las Vegas concert six years ago. A SUGABABES and GIRLS ALOUD version of "Walk This Way", which had been a huge hit for AEROSMITH and rappers RUN DMC, came second. Experts also delivered a verdict on the most successful cover versions. JIMI HENDRIX's cover of the BOB DYLAN song "All Along the Watchtower" topped the list, with the GUNS N' ROSES' version of the WINGS' song "Live and Let Die" and NIRVANA's cover of "The Man Who Sold the World" by DAVID BOWIE also in the top five. The list is published in the July issue of UK's Total Guitar magazine.

Dion covered the AC/DC classic "You Shook Me All Night Long" as a duet with Anastacia on the VH1 CD/DVD release "Divas Las Vegas 2002", out via Sony Music. Watch video footage of the performance on your left.

 

 

haha. :rofl: It's not that bad, I won't repeat myself as I've commented on it, but Anastacia almost pulled it off, and Celine... well, she's Celine. And some of the AC/DC fans need to get a grip, they can't even get their facts right. I've read a few comments saying; "Bon Scott would be turning in his grave". Well, he wouldn't, as he was long dead before the song was ever released. :manson:

Here are some of THEEE worst covers you'll ever hear;

 

 

Sugababes vs. Girls Aloud - Walk This Way [Originally Aerosmith/-then Aerosmith + Run-DMC

 

 

 

 

Guns N Roses - Knockin On Heavens Door [Originally Bob Dylan]

 

 

 

 

Shakira - Back In Black [Originally AC/DC]

 

 

 

 

Tom Jones - Kiss [Originally Prince]

 

Oh, and here's their performance;

 

 

 

 

And the original;

 

Oh God, I knew someone would make this a topic,

But I agree with you Ana + Celine beat all your worst covers,

Those guys who voted ana + celine worst are a bunch of idiots.

But Girls aloud/sugerbabes almost made me break my new flat screen tv with my sofa!!

Thats my worst cover!!!!

 

 

I think they did it well :lol: Love the performance

02. GIRLS ALOUD/SUGABABES - Walk This Way (RUN DMC and AEROSMITH)

 

i agree with that even tho i loved the song!!!!

02. GIRLS ALOUD/SUGABABES - Walk This Way (RUN DMC and AEROSMITH)

 

i agree with that even tho i loved the song!!!!

But how could you even LIKE it in the first place? :lol:

 

Celine's is no way the worst, but it is way from being the best.

i love the celine/anastacia cover

and the sugababes/girls aloud walk this way is also really good

the sugababes sucks so much, the ana one is good!

Sugarbabes/ Girls Aloud screwed that song up!!!

I'm not lying it deserved no.1 spot for worst cover in my opinion.

Its def not the best cover but to say its the worst is just :rofl:

 

I dont even take them seriously. What do they know -_-

Agree. Of course it's not the worst. <_<

I think it's great :music:

Oh it was in Bulgarian papers too...so stupid I think it is one of the bestest covers ever.They have so much chemistry between them.

i love the celine/anastacia cover

and the sugababes/girls aloud walk this way is also really good

Ah not another one. -_-

Anyway, I don't think it's fair that You Shook Me should be the worst cover, I mean it's not like it was released, it was just a one off live performance.

Doesn't really count as a cover as such, to me. If you see what I mean :unsure:

The worst cover in recent times was McFly & Don't Stop Me Now, imo.

I hate that <_<

... and it was a cover of a song, so that makes it, wait for it, a cover. :lol:

Well obviously <_< I'm just saying, IMO, it's not the same as actually releasing it.

Before you say it, I know it was a b-side, but it's still not the same as releasing it as a single or putting it on an album.

Just a little treat for fans only, not for a wider audience.

I'm sure most people know what I mean.

Yeah I know what you mean. :lol:

 

But for something that has 2 and a half million views on youtube, I think that makes it more then a little treat for the fans. :lol:

 

all those AC DC fans are viewing it.

Ah not another one. -_-

 

 

:lol:

it grows on you
