Covers better than the original?
 

Let me start off by saying this: No offense to any Miley Cyrus fans. :P

I found this cover of "The Climb" on YouTube which, in my opinion, proves that it's a beautiful song. Just not to be sung by Cyrus. X3

This was going to be a thread just about this one cover, but then I thought that really wouldn't be fair, so... What covers have you found that were better than their original song?

^ Nah, I think those can be considered covers in this thread. :)

That cover of Umbrella (Rihanna) sung by that guy on youtube!
Also Listen to your Heart (Roxette) covered by D.H.T.

ALOT of miley covers are better than the original :laugh
some ayu sweetbox covers were better ~
Mariah's covers of songs are AWESOMEEEEEEEE :luv2
Namie's 60s70s80s ;)

What was the original 60s70s80s song?

Mariah's cover of 'Without You' is the best.

What Miley Cyrus fans? :innocent Any how

スターティング・オヴァー - 椎名林檎
涙そうそう - 夏川りみ

lol absolutely!! :P

I love her cover of that song!

MiChi's covers of London Bridge and Smells Like Teen Spirit were amazing. And I personally think both were better than the originals.

I absolutely love the version of The Beatles' Helter Skelter from Across the Universe. Most of the songs in that film were really well done, but that one was just amazing. I can't even listen to the original anymore.

OTEP's cover of Breed. :P

Gnarls Barkley's cover of Gone Daddy Gone.

*Dies a little inside* LOL
