There are actually a few pretty good covers of some of their simpler songs. And groups of multiple people (who know what they're doing) seen to be ok at it. P!ATD did a pretty good covers of Bohrap and I've seen a good cover of '39 on YT. Then again, nothing could ever live up to basically any song by Queen (because they're great and I don't know a single human who hates them) but then again that's not a covers job.

Stewart was very anti-disco. But his record company convinced them they HAD to do a disco song. You can tell in their video they thought it was all crap.

He's very much a hypocrite who took the money and ran. (Much like Genesis who actually admitted doing the same.)

@theabraham8164 6 лет назад

All these artists gave their permission for their songs to be covered that's the sad thing.

@tiacho2893 6 лет назад

It depends on who owns the rights. I think MJ owned the rights to the Beatles back catalog and allowed them to be in used in commercials.

@magusxxx 6 лет назад

Yeah, except that's how Nike/Michael Jackson got in trouble. They used The Beatle's Revolution in a commercial and had to pull it off air. While MJ had the rights to the song, he didn't have rights to the actual Beatle's recording of the song.

When you got to number one and I saw what the cover was, I was legitimately excited. There is no way it wasn't going to be a beautiful, boated disaster. I got what I came for and my life is better now I know this exists.

@tommiejonsson8952 5 лет назад

OK, you're not great fans of metal, but keep in mind that some people are. I haven't heard Ashley Tisdale's version of "Never gonna give you up", but from what I could gather from the segment included in this video, it doesn't sound very different from Rick Astley's original. I agree with your opinion of t.A.T.u's version of "How soon is now?" - they really do sound like chipmunks. As a heterosexual male, I can't get mad at Britney for flaunting what she's got, but i will admit that "(I can't get no) satisfaction" is not my favourite song from "Oops! I did it again". I'm more partial to "Stronger".

@PAINNN666 5 лет назад

Well at least I never heard that version of that song I heard how awful it was but good thing I've never heard it before. Man the original must be better. I've heard that cover appeared on their album results May Vary. They should have dropped that cover off that album. I just wish it was an unreleased cover. I would rather that they should have canceled the album or just dropped the song off the album. That should have been one lesson they should have learned before releasing that album.

No1 was a joke. It should have been Gary jules's "mad world" cover. It kills the point and essence of the tears for fears original and the cover just makes the song overly depressing intstead of the isolated observation feeling of the original
