Song covers that you like more than originals

Umm...Westlife's cover of "The Rose" is pretty good...

...can't think of any other good covers...

Some might not know but this song was in 8-bit This is probably the one song that everyone in the world will agree the cover is better. I seriously doubt anyone played the original Touhou games (neither have I)

Every other songs by Hatsune Miku was slightly worse if not the same as the original. Usually the only songs Miku can sing better than real artists is acoustic song sung by a single female singer in a low key w/o harmonics.

Example of a Miku original song sung better than Miku

This is an exception; Miku fits the Lorelei imagery

Yeah, my two-bit on the subject. No pun intended.

Wow what a post.
Anyways, I like the alien ant farm's cover of smooth criminal more than MJs version, in some parts. Don't know why.

Probably because I like Lilly Allen, something about here, probably the accent.

Radiohead on the other hand sucks. But they write decent songs.

^ this video is inappropriate for all audiences. viewer discretion is seriously advised. But it is a hilarious cover of Coldplay.

I'll let the AMV speak for itself.

Better than Britney Spears' version, save for the screaming parts of the song. Not that they're bad at all (I still liked those parts) but I liked hearing those parts being sung rather than screamed at. :B
