Here's what I said:

The problem with covers, in my opinion is that they don't have the sound (i.e. lead singer) you are so familiar with. Like AI I really dislike covers that are just an exact recreation of the song.
As for live performances, I do think it can be interesting to hear another singer sing a familiar song. I really liked some of the interpretations at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert. |
Of course my first point depends on what you hear first. Usually I do prefer the original even if I heard it after I heard a cover, but not always.
