"Whitney - I will always love you"
I've always preferred Dolly Parton's version, it sounded far more heart felt.
Alien Ant Farm- Smooth Criminal
And most songs written by Bob Dylan, sound better by those who have covered them.
Beatles- Twist and Shout
Al Green- How do I you mend a broken heart
Soft Cell- Tainted Love
The Pogues - Dirty Old Town
Johnny Cash with Hurt and Personal Jesus are pretty stand out as well |

I'd never even heard of the Mandela effect, had to Google - interesting. But despite always thinking of it as *THE*, because of the book, I still felt compelled to check my DVD copy and yes, of course, it's 'the'. I guess it's an easy mistake to make as 'a' might make more sense depending on how much importance you give to Lestat! |

Sorry, I disagree on this one
"Whitney - I will always love you"
This is one of those rare instances where I feel that they are kinda equal. They are both excellent in their own way. Whitney's is very powerful vocally, but Dolly Parton's has more emotion
OK, so here are a couple that I think are better than the original
Don't Leave Me This Way - The Communards.
Originally by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, and also covered by Thelma Houston.

And not forgetting Hurt. Nine Inch Nails original is great but Johnny Cash's version greaterer. |

Dropkick Murphys do a great version of The Who's Baba O'Reily. Similar but more rough.
Come to think of it there's loads of cover versions that are better than the original. |

"Guns 'n' Roses cover of live and let die better than the original
Sorry, I disagree on this one
And me! Sympathy for the Devil's not better than the original either.
Ah .... I'm going to be pedantic, but I didn't actually say G n R were *better* than the Stones. I merely remarked that their cover of Sympathy was pretty good. I like both versions! "
Hey, no problem Nice photos, BTW! |

I will admit they do feature prominently... But I do like her vocal style. She does lots of great covers and I think she nailed it |
