So I made post about good song covers and now I want to share to you all what I feel were not so good covers. Let’s take Michael Jackson legendary right? Well his song “ Smooth Criminal” was covered by a band called Alien Ant Farm. I’m not really fond of this version of the song. And no it’s not because it’s Rock. I listen to everything truly but I feel like when they covered this song is lost something….not sure what but it lost something!
Here’s the cover
The original
So what do you think? I just think sometimes you have to leave some songs alone. But it’s just my opinion. Prince is my favorite artist of all time and he deserves to have his songs covered the right way (as all artists do). I ran across one of my favorite Prince songs and I noticed it had been covered by another artist that I think is cool. Let’s just say I wasn’t too pleased but you be the judge.

It's hard to find Prince songs on the interent because he keeps taking them down for people to listen to especially on Youtube but if you go to this website page
http://www.whosampled.com/cover/view/5039/Ginuwine-When%20Doves%20Cry_Prince-When%20Doves%20Cry/ you can listen to both of the full songs. It a pretty cool website to go to anyway. You will be surprised how much pepole sample and cover other artist.
The original
I don’t think his version was horrible but it could have been a lot better in my ears lol.
