...you know the ones. They don’t add anything whatsoever to the song, in fact it ruined it slightly for you.
Stooshe - Waterfalls - this popped up earlier and it made me think, just why?
This thread is sponsored by the S** S**** single,

I don’t think she was even old enough to drink! Killed her career

A true miss in a mostly hit filled singles catalogue.
...I'd completely forgot about that Amy Studt cover, what a waste of everyone's time that was.

Amy Studt was literally the one I posted first and edited out, and I thought, aww poor Amy and went for the easy Stooshe!

I KNOW every penny counts for charity, but on the subject of Girls Aloud, this was a big bag of crap and half of them couldn't even be bothered to turn up for the video shoot.

Oh, if charity singles are up for grabs, then how about:
Song 4 Lovers was great, but this CIN single killed their career and their next/last one got to #47.

Oh for sure.
Sorry Westies, this was not good the first time around:
There is a link on Google to Take That’s version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. I’m too scared to click on it.

I'm a Westlife apologist, but they are the kings of pointless cover versions, and Mandy is the worst offender. You Raise Me Up is their only cover I like.

Gosh, where to start. Her flicking through her clothes but picking none of them, it’s like she learnt that song that day and then caught a cab to go somewhere, but ended up going back to her own flat again without going anywhere as she was so bored of singing the song and wanted a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
Just no, thank you ladies.

God I hate that version so much.
Speaking of Atomic Kitten...
Did we need this? There's not really anything wrong with it, but it was 100% pointless as a single released in 2006 - not even for a charity or anything.

I very nearly posted that one! But a) I actually kinda liked it when I had a listen, and b) it fit with her whole 60's thing she was doing then, so I gave it a pass.

Typically I hate that cover and don't even particularly like the Blondie original

Here's another. I don't absolutely hate it but really, when the Jeff Buckley version exists, there's no need for this.
