covers that should never had been done

[Samcro]

for me susan boyle should NEVER have done wild Horses
and Will young should have LEFT the Doors alone.
what are yours??

Any version of a Prince song.

I can't listen to any version of Hallelujah anymore. Beautiful, beautiful song that's been done to death. Maybe it will sound fresh again in ten years time.

The Boyzone cover of Fast Car was awful.

Also the Saturdays cover of ‘Just can’t get enough’ was a travesty.

Taylor Swift's cover of September by Earth Wind & Fire.

Utter shite

I'm with BeckyAnnLeeman The Byrds version is way better than Dylans. In fact, almost anyone's cover of a Dylan track is likely to be better than Dylan's. He can write but can't perform IMO.

Big Fun should never have covered Blame it on the Boogie.

(and I should never have bought the single in my naive, 11 year old misguided youth)

Any cover of Bob Dylan’s Make you feel my love. Yes, even Adele’s. Totally unnecessary.

The One Direction cover of Teenage Kicks/One Way or Another. Just no. I quite like McFly’s version of Don’t Stop Me Now though

Britney Spears I Love Rock n Roll

She just sucked all the rock n roll right out of it.

Ooh I love Bryan Ferry's cover versions especially Sympathy for the Devil. He also did a beautiful cover of Make You Feel My Love about 3mths before Adele released her version - his version obviously sank without a trace but was absolutely heart renching

Angels - Jessica Simpson

All the covers of The Greatest Showman, the worst being James Arthurs (and I love James Arthur!!!!)

That execrable cover of Stairway to Heaven by the repulsive Rolf Harris.

I understand Led Zeppelin were less than pleased.

All Saints cover of Under the Bridge is an abomination.

Scissor Sisters 'Comfortably Numb.' It makes my ears bleed.

Fleetwood Mac's Dreams covered by The Cor's !!

Ellie Goulding's cover of your song
Few years ago someone did a dance cover of wicked games...
No just no

Ooh good shout on Make you feel Puppy, I’ve just had a listen. Thanks!

Basically anyone covering Bob Marley. Just don't.

Yes, Ziggy, that includes you.

Birdy’s cover of Skinny Love.

However, I prefer Miley Cyrus’ cover of Jolene to the original by Dolly Parton.

Katie Price & Peter Andre - a whole new world

Any eighties rock song covered by a girl with a guitar and breathless voice.

Just... no.

Perhaps unpopular but the cover of Fleetwood Mac's Songbird by the lovely lady who passed away (name I can't remember)

I absolutely hate that so many people don't realise it's a cover. The original is so much better

Cascada's version of truly madly deeply.

A1's Take on me

I'm probably alone in this but I've never liked Sinead O'Connor's cover of Nothing Compares 2 U. Prince's version is far superior.
