Original VS Cover Song Smackdown!


If you happen to be a fan of Gossip Girl, then you'll remember that episode where TI's song "Whatever You Like" came on...except that it had the silky, sexy vocals of singer Anya Marina. Nice unexpected twist or a disgrace to the original? You know what that means...ORIGINAL VS COVER SMACKDOWN!

RULES: Here are a couple of new spins that have been stuck on repeat, but we need you to decide the better song. Click on the artist name for the originals, watch the covers here:

The Kings of Leon's Knocked Up mashed up with Lykke Li

Kings of Leon is a Justin favorite. But the melancholic song has been Lykke-fied with her smoky vocals and synths for one catchy collab.

 

TI's Whatever You Like covered by Anya Marina

Listening to it the first time you probably wouldn't have been able to place TI's original, huh?

 

Florence and The Machine's You've Got The Love covered by the XX

Indie reworking fellow indie- and it's surprisingly good. The XX is already getting major props for their self-titled album, but this new track gives us a taste of their remixing as well.

So who is the victor: the original or the cover? You be the judge.

“ On the same tip as the TI cover Pink Nasty's cover of Usher's Burn (steaming at: http://www.myspace.com/therealpinknasty) is a really excellent re-styling of a r&b song. ”
