Thank you so much :D

[Jen]

I search YT and cannot find the video I got it from. But I can highly guess in will be on a downloader like Limewire.
I'm attempting a zSHARE download, which I could send to you... if it works.. :P

[Jen]

I could e-mail it to you?

[Noel]

Muse's rendition of Feelin' Good is simply superb.
Although they haven't been released, P!nk doing Highway To Hell, Bohemian Rhapsody and Crazy by Gnarls Barkley are brilliant too. I really loved Megan Joy singing Turn Your Lights Down Low on AI and I can't seem to find it anywhere, but Nerina Pallot does a really good version of Take on Me.
<33

[Tom4784]

I love AC Newman. That cover of Take on Me is superb.

His cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" is brilliant.

[Shaun]

didn't realise the Clash song was a cover until I downloaded it the other night, wannashag. Quite a few of these have surprised me actually...like Softcell and China Girl.

On the Cash note - I had heard the NIN version but I don't think they're really comparable. I like both though :) I do love his covers of U2's "One" and "Danny Boy" as well.
