Title: Speaking of people ruining Vanessa's songs...
Post by: Martin. on March 03, 2011, 04:32:45 am: A heavy metal cover of "A Thousand Miles":

This is so awful & hilarious at the same time, especially when he screams "TONIGHT".

But still, I don't think it does justice to the song, sadly. :-\

this cover is a mess :-\

Post by: [sobriquet] on March 03, 2011, 02:38:46 pm: I don't know why, but V's ATM has been a favorite target for cover by many rock/metal artists.

But for me, the only other artist who can do justice to the song is David Archuleta.

Post by: Martin. on March 03, 2011, 02:46:03 pm: I hate little David's cover too. He over-sings it and it just doesn't work for me. He has a good voice, but not for that song (IMO).

Post by: saphire on March 03, 2011, 02:47:28 pm: I don't like Davids Cover either. It takes off all edges the song has and turns it into a way to smoothy bubblegum-pop-song.

Maybe that's why I like it. It became smoother.

But I prefer smoothening it rather than making cit more jagged with metal music.

You just hit it - monotone. The perfect description.
