What do you think about cover and remade songs by today's artists?

Question

I dont like any covers compared to the orginal version. i feel that the original version carries the reason for making the song. The whole point of making the song, the emotion behind it, and todays artists, or any people who cover it, just sing it because they like it. But i really love the original artists above all. what are your opinions?

Answer 1

i sometimes like to hear people cover or remade of the song because it can be good but most of the time they sing it like they really don't get the emotion of the song at all but i really don't like remixes at all

Answer 2

thats true but sometimes i find it interesting to hear other people's covers of songs.  it doesnt necessarily mean that they are as good as the original however

Answer 3

I think all these cover versions by crappy bands, like Fall Out Boy or New Found Glory, are horrid. There are plenty of amazing cover songs though.

I personally adore Therion's cover of "Summernight City", which was originally an ABBA song .... from pop to symphonic metal - it's terrific! I also love Nightwish's live cover of "The Phantom and the Opera" much more than the original.

And the list goes on.
