Bad Cover Versions We've done it before many times. I just heard a really bad one, so I had to share:
The Letter - Dionne Warwick. It's an awful sequined, bedazzled, discofied, Solid Gold cover.  Share some bad ones... | |

She'll forever be the Queen of Soul, but Aretha's cover of "A House Is Not a Home" is brutal. I mean brutal! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Her version of "Imagine" surely gives it a run for it's money. | |

Speaking of Linda Ronstadt, what about her version Alison? She butchered the lyrics. Actually I like Blue Bayou. My Legacy

I do too! Reminds me of when I was little.  And my dad was a big Linda Rondstadt fan."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Linda Ronstadt built a career on bad covers. | |

i love that version... Me too! That has to be my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. I can in no way defend that song. And yet I love it. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Hmm, haven't heard it for a while, but I remember it being nice. Maybe it was just overplayed. Elvis Costello mentioned being on the road at the time and flipping the radio, they heard it simultaneously playing on three stations. Of course, maybe you're just saying compared to Roy's version it can't help but suck? My Legacy
