Favourite Cover Versions

^ I haven't heard that before

I know his version of Pulp's Common People of course. And his performance of Rocket Man is one of the greatest things ever done in human history

There's no one quite like Shatner

^Classic!

Not sure if you've heard it but someone burned me a great compilation CD of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy's combined best ofs a couple of years back. The Shatner stuff is hilarious of course, but best of all is Nimoy's spectacular 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' - a stone cold corker of a tune if ever I heard one...

Sometimes you just wonder why

Won't be voting in this one cause i know my score for the beatles will be either a Zero or .1

For real?

Why the hate?

I've never ever been a Beatles fan And Constantly get disgusted about how much love they get from everyone and when i try and listen to it I just don't see anything amazing about them for all the acclaim they're given. So it's a bit of the fact people have hyped them up so much I come to expect something that will be the equivalent to a musical orgasm and it doesn't happen, that and I don't like any of their voices and overall just find the music not very appealing

Ah, the hype monster claims another victim

I guess they're not for everyone though.

3 votes for this round.. we've hit a new low

Might be about time to put a bullet in this thread. I'll post up the current round again to see if anyone else votes

HOW TO VOTE:

1. Rate the original version objectively out of 10

2. Rate the cover version objectively out of 10

3. Distribute 5 points amongst the two, based on how much you prefer one version over the other

Well it's even with new music today. People hype that so much saying OMG THE NEW &%#&(%( song is amazing, when it's not.

I dunno, i just feel if you hype something up it should match.

Well I'm officially calling a close to this thread. It's kind of been floundering since day 1, but it's pretty much ground to a halt now

Thanks everyone who participated

But I was actually going to vote this round!

Original: 11 - Beatles.

Cover: 8 - I'm usually not a big fan of Beatles covers(Beatles. ), but I give Elton credit. His cover wasn't completely horrible. It's actually pretty good. (Yes, I have it on my iPod.)

Original x 5

(Beatles. )

thats sad

i thought more people were gonna vote. i thought the idea was awesome ((

im sad we stopped the voting! but i understand you, its been so slow

i guess few people listen to good old music and more prefer to discuss some crappy models

^It's okay

The non-model sections on this site aren't overly active, so it was a bit of an uphill struggle from the start. Besides, it seems as though the voters have dropped off in a lot of the model competition threads too over the past month or two.. dunno what's happened there

The only times it's uber busy around here is when the VSFS is on and SI release, and aside from that these parts aren't visited much.

So it's understandable

or maybe because of the other new forums that have been opened. feel like more and more people every day choose the newer forums over this one.

anyways

THANKS FOR CARRYING ON SO FAR WITH THE COMPETITION ))

My favourite song ever <3 This is the extended Rattle and Hum version, both versions are beautiful

U2 - With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I wait for you

Slight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or without you

With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And Im waiting for you

With or without you

With or without you

I cant live

With or without you

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised

Shes got me with nothing to win

And nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give

And you give yourself away

With or without you

With or without you

I cant live

With or without you

With or without you

With or without you

I can’t live

With or without you

With or without you

Yeah, we’ll shine like stars in the summer night

We’ll shine like stars in the winter night

One heart

One hope

One love

With or without you

With or without you

I can’t live

With or without you

With or without you

Cover songs that I'm fond of listening to are Always by Aj Rafael and Katt (originally done by Atlantic Starr), Two is better than one by Aj Rafael and Kina Granis (originally done by Taylor Swift and Boys like Girls), Tie me down by Maribelle Anes and Lil Crazed (originally done by New Boyz)

@Stormbringer
