Cover versions that are better than the original song

[Banned Tosspot]

Without You .

I'm probably in the minority but i prefer Mariah careys version of the song to Nillssons.

I'd prefer to but that chipmunk looking whiney bitch into a potato sack and beat it with a baseball bat!

Jeff Buckley's cover of Hallelujah is utter, utter cack. The only cover version that dares to challenge the maestro's is John Cale's version.
