Favourite Cover Versions

Here is Olivia with John Farnham: It's A Long Way To The Top. I've had this in my music collection for ages so I'm happy I found the clip. Sheer joy from Olivia in the first few minutes in particular:

Solid cover of the Pokemon Theme

(I like a lot of Sachi Gomez' Japanese covers... she's Filipino but has a really clean accent in both Japanese and English I think. Covers a lot of nerd classics).

Hmmm a slightly more rockier, edgier version of SOS, thanks AW. I always reckon Abbas version of SOS is one of the most pure pop songs ever, always good to hear other versions of the song with even a bit more edge to it.

Funny you mention the word pure with the song When I asked my Daughters friend ( who plays multiple instruments herself ) if she knew the original she used the exact same word to describe it Saying the original is more pure.

One thing I did notice abiout these girls after istening to a few of their covers is they genrally out their own stamp on a song they cover. SOS more rocky and edgy but another cover they did Accidently In Love is a bit slower Now ive mentioned it I might as well post it here

Yes it is a slower , softer more gentle version than the Counting Crows version.

WS did the top 100 cover versions today, didn't listen to all of it but did hear this and thought what a great version of the song.

Coming up to first anniversary which is always the hardest when you lose someone you once loved. Robbie Williams said "I just sit and talk to God and he just laughs at my plans"...Yep I hear you Robbie..

For those of us who lost those we loved, for whatever the reason may be. This lovely lady also lost her life too soon due to illness:

Eva Cassidy - Ain't No Sunshine When He's Gone..
