Let's play a game. Many artists do covers of old songs. Sometimes they do a good job, and sometimes they ruin the magic of the original song. So let's play: Which one is better? The original or the cover version?

Original:
Kylie Minogue "Especially For You"

Cover:
MYMP "Especially For You"

Which one is better? The original by Kylie, MYMP lacks vocal prowess to make an effective cover.

Original:
Timbiriche "Muriendo Lento "

Cover:
Belinda featuring Moderatto - Muriendo Lento

Fans of Thalia will already know that Timbiriche was the phenomenal 80s pop group that she was a part of before she went solo in her acting career and singing career. I like Belinda's version better cause it's fresh and new, it rocks.

Original:
Chaka Khan "Through the Fire "

Cover:
Nina "Through the Fire "

Nina did a fantastic job at covering this song, and her vocal prowess is amazing. I think Chaka would be proud.

Original:
Leann Rimes "I Need You"

Cover:
Mark Bautista "I Need You"

I was really surprised when I heard that a guy covered this song, because it's a girl's song, but it turned out really sexy the way Mark Bautista sings it. Everybody in the industry knows that Mark Bautista is gay, and with his choice of this song, well... But seriously, he does a great job of covering this song and his voice is beautiful.

Original:
Extreme "More Than Words "

Cover:
Frankie J "More Than Words "

Okay, the bonus is that for fans of Dayanara Torres, the cover with the accompanying music video is a huge boost for her career. But, the original was better, I like Frankie J, but I can't stand his flittery fluttery voice in this one, it reminds me of Christina Aguilera when she oversings her songs, that's what he's doing in this one, I'm not feelin this one.

Any suggestions or opinions as to which covers do you think are good? Shout out it in the shout box!
