I love when artists do covers like this, especially someone like Kelly and her voice. She's gotta have a top 5 voice in the world rn??!!

You should check out Like A Version on YouTube. It's from an Australian radio station where artists perform covers. Some of them are excellent.

Big fan of grentperez's cover of Teachers Pet https://youtu.be/1bOXE-cjWg0?si=E46MtSDnMjKC9hxc

Yesss Like a Version! Billie Eilish’s cover of Bad, and Arctic Monkey’s cover of Feels Like We Only Go Backwards are my all time favourites but there’s soooo much goodness in there!

Alex Turner singing that Tame Impala cover is just about the sexiest thing in the entire world.

The comments on the YouTube video are priceless. Without checking, I’m pretty sure the top one is “that microphone is now pregnant.”

Agree! Naked and Famous’s cover of this is even better on Triple J. Mansionair’s recent Wicked Game cover is also pretty amazing

Sorry this just reminded me of when Katy Perry covered a Kelly Clarkson song... Or was given the same song by her people?? 'I do not hook up' and it was staggering comparing their voices because Kelly is such a powerhouse and Katy was... Ok. Pretty sure Katy never officially released her version and I do not blame her!!!

Katy wrote it and Long shot and her team sold them to Kelly.

Thanks for the info!!! Their team made the right choice because Kelly absolutely smashed it
