Haley Reinhart versus The World

[riley]

I must first say I was never a fan of Creep as a song or Radiohead as a band but they have sold 30 million albums so what do I know. I listened to all the songs Merc mentioned - Karen's cover did nothing for me as KP said it had a "loungey" feeling that I didn't care for. I liked the Facebook cover I felt it was done very well. Holly's was okay she has a nice voice and it fit more in line with the Radiohead original and the melody. I can see why if some like the other covers or Radiohead why they would not like Haley's/PMJ's as much. I love the emotion Haley put into it but I am not a musically trained professional, I only know what I like.

Before Haley's, this was my favorite cover of Creep. I love them both, Allison's is a bit more rock, Haley's is a bit more soul IMO.

Here's my nomination for best non-PMJ AATB:



I'm more than a little partial to pomplamoose.

Jacquie Lee is starting to cover "Habits" ..not PMJ style, but still pretty great.

Just saw a news article that Kelly Clarkson did a live cover of Habits, not in the PMJ style.
Not even a close second to Haley's cover.

I love Kelly, but Haley is just in her own league now.

I liked Jacquie's cover better too. But I have heard that Kelly is getting her voice back in shape after being sick, which I believe because I heard her hit a bad note when she covered a Tori Kelly song, and I think that might have been the first time I've ever heard her hit a bad note.

That's interesting because I thought she absolutely SLAYED Blank Space. Maybe I just really liked the style; it has this really cool laid back feel to it.
