I haven't been around for a while, partly owing to the fact that one of my pieces was deragatory to the young and stupid and we've had a lot of that recently so onto something I love and not strongly dislike.Also, its been hard to sleep at night when I know my fellow bloggers are typing away bleary-eyed.
I love music and I love making lists. This started up as a doodle and before I knew it I was hunched over my mp3 player, thinking hard and writing in margins. One of the reasons I love to watch American Idol is not just the talent that shows itself when you least expect it, but I love listening to songs redone by artists with different styles (The other reason is, I love guessing what paula is drinking from that cup). Originality is not big on AI I know, but even the slightest change in voice or melody or tempo is extremely exciting to me. Sometimes, I even like the covers better than the original *cough* Beatles *cough* Then there are the songs that have been done so many times, no one knows whom the original was by. Little tip ; its usually by the Beatles.Here are a bunch of covers I would recommed.
- Here Comes the Sun - Sheryl Crow (The Beatles)
- Hello - david Cook (Lionel Richie, I hate the original with a deep burning fire in my soul)
- Always Be my Baby - David Cook (Mariah Carey)
- Jealous Guy - Gavin Degraw (John Lennon)
- Love me tender - Norah Jones (Elvis Presley)
- Daydream Believer - Mary Beth Maziarz (The Monkees)
- Don't dream its over - Sixpence none the richer (Crowded House)
- Something - Jim Sturgess (The Beatles)
- Free Falling - John Mayer (Tom petty and the Heartbreakers)
- Umbrella - Mandy Moore (Rihanna)
- Wonderful World- Joey Ramone (Louis Armstrong)*
- Somewhere only we know- Lifehouse (Keane)
- You belong to me - Jason Wade*
- God only knows - Claudine Longet (The Beach Boys)
- Hallelujuah - Kate Voegele (Jeff buckley)
- At Last - Eva Cassidy/Matt Belsante*
- You don't know me - Jann Arden*
- Crazy Little Thing Called Love - McFly (Queen)
- I want to hold your hand - T.V.Carpio (The Beatles)
- All I want to do - Whitney Duncan (Sheryl Crow)
* My favourite version of a song done so many times no one cares to know who it was originally recorded by.
Okay so, comment with any good covers I could look into and I'll be back later with a Recap/Review of Delhi-Abhishek-dies-6-times .

Have you heard Keane's cover of 'With or Without You'? It may not be the most palatable version to many ears and I may be biased as a Keane fan but it's a very, very interesting take...
