@skywindO2 If you like Birdy doing covers, you should check out the live (technically still studio) cover of Passenger's "Let Her Go" that she did for the Radio 1 Live Lounge (BBC).

I can't stand the original so was skeptical going into this but this was pretty good.

Maybe I just like female covers of songs. Here's another one I'm a fan of.

You know what I meant.  They both pretty much fall into the same category for me though.  Not sure what it was because I love The Police and similar stylized bands of that era, but the likes of Gabriel, Collins, and Steve Winwood (Blind Faith stuff excluded) just isn't for me; solid lyrically, but something about their voices.

Meanwhile her cover of "Dear Prudence" just completely underwhelms.

I was just listening to Big Time - dude was so far ahead of the curve in terms of his videos in the 80s.

As far as covers - don't know the consensus on this, but I loved it:

Not a big No Doubt fan either, but this captured the essence of the original while sounding true to No Doubt. Really good cover.

BTW - This thread is gonna be like crack to me. Love me a good cover.

I'm all about this one by her - not as good as the original (because Seal was a boss with this one) but a good listen nonetheless...
