Absolute Worst Cover of a U2 song, ever

LOL-It could be worse, it could be that John Stephens guy

or William Hung...

I actually heard his version of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" one day.

A zillion of these smileys would be the most apt description of hearing that. I swear, my ears literally hurt when I heard it.

It seems that I'm in the minority here, but I think it's good. I like Clay's voice. He's a good singer. It's a good song. Nobody can beat the original, obviously, but I think it sounds decent.

I am not a fan of Aiken by any stretch of the imagination, but to be honest it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be (or would be led to believe by y'alls posts). I didn't find it horrible. Again, not nearly as good as Bono, but not eye and ear bleeding inducing either. I don't know, maybe I am a Barry Mantilowe fan deep down somewhere

Wow, I am shocked over the aversion to Starfield's cover of 40. I honestly think it is one of the best I've heard. They really turned up the guitars and have it a nice lift.

Of course, the best I've heard is MadelynIris' cover of Drowning Man. Where it may lack in production, it made up in heart.



But that's just me.

:covers ears and eyes: I don't even want to contemplate this.
