Speaking of people ruining Vanessa's songs...

A heavy metal cover of "A Thousand Miles":

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

Kudos to him for being able to play that riff in the guitar.

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

I'm not a real metal head but it's not very hard to discover that this boy isn't just not good in singing or designing videos, he's not good in making metal too ;D Guess if metallica would have covered the song it would have sounded a little better even with the metal touch ^^
this cover is a mess  :-\

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.

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).

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.
