I was completely spellbound for every enchanting second of that truly mesmerizing performance.
One of the single greatest videos I have found after years of trawling YouTube.

I'm with you there about "covers". Who cares who wrote the song, or first recorded it? This idea that the singers should write their own songs is comparatively recent. Elvis, Jerry Lee, Little Richard and Fats Domino did no writing to speak of. Go further back. Who's ever heard of a song written by Ella Fitzgerald or Frank Sinatra or Billy Holiday? Song writers wrote songs, and singers sang them. When I was young, I never heard the term "cover" being used, though I knew that Carl Perkins had written "Blue Suede Shoes" and recorded it before Presley, but nobody called Presley's version a cover. "Hound Dog" is another Presley hit that had originally been recorded (and apparently was a minor hit a few years previously) by Big Mama Thornton . (It's worth listening to on YT). Nobody called it a cover.
Haley's "covers" are generally better than the originals because she is a far better singer than most of the original singers. A simple fact. However, people often have sentimental attachments to original versions, or they like the backings. So far I've not preferred a single original to her version except, perhaps Radiohead's "Black Hole Sun" which I liked pretty well as much as Haley's PMJ version.
