Covers better than the original?

[Chibi_Venus]

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

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?

ayus covers of sweetbox are better than the original (i know not covers but...)

[Chibi_Venus]

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

Also Listen to your Heart (Roxette) covered by D.H.T.

I love her cover of that song!

[NintendoHTF1242]

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

[paper_doll]

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.

[happiholic★]

Gnarls Barkley's cover of Gone Daddy Gone.
