Top 5 Bruce Springsteen Live Covers

1. Raise Your Hand
2. War
3. Trapped
4. Detroit Medley
5. Boom Boom

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Corrs sisters
Norah Jones
Gwen Stefani

I have to agree with these in particular (Norah always reminds me of my friend Rachel whenever I see pictures of her-only difference is, Rachel had red hair ). I've also always thought Janet Jackson and Shania Twain were really pretty, too.

I'm glad Sarah McLachlan grew her hair out-long hair suits her better. Same with Faith Hill (I really wish she'd keep her hair long, she looks a lot prettier with long hair).
