That's My Goal was not a cover, it was given to Westlife who did not want it. It is the only ever winners single not to be a cover.

A song rejected by Westlife. Ouch.

Nowhere near as good as the original by OASIS but with a whole different arrangement for me it would be RYAN ADAMS version of Wonderwall. Brilliant song but then Oasis were likely the best ever group too.

Not sure if it's better than the original, but always liked this updated version.

The problem with it is that it is exactly the same as the original. They didn't arrange it or try anything new so it just ended up sounding like a cash in on somebody else's work. It might aswell have been covered by Robson & Jerome for all it added to the song's legacy.

Britney's "I love Rock & Roll" might suck all manner of ass, but the least you can say is it sounded like a different record to the original.

I get your point but tbh I'd prefer to listen to a good copy than a horrendous original version!

And aren't they all cashing in on someone elses work whether they change it around a bit or not?
