Misirlou Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 "Better than the original" is a term that´s thrown around way too lightly in my opinion. So I want to know if there are any covers/performances on the show that you liked better than the original, assuming that you heard it before or after the contestant covered it.

Hsamid Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 First that come to mind Kyla jade - one night only Jennifer is a beast of a vocalist, ive watched the movie version and 2 live performances, but I prefer the dynamics in kyla's cover and use of her lower register. Jej Vinson - passionfruit Christiana Danielle- hotline bling They made monotonous songs infinitely more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daillon Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Koryn Hawthorne - Make It Rain Every time I hear another version, including the original, I’m underwhelmed. Chris J - Cry Me A River It’s sooo much better than the original. Sarah Simmons - One of Us Duh. HMs: Amanda Brown - Dream On Amy Vachal - Blank Space Lauren Duski - You Were Meant For Me (tough one because I love Jewel, but I think I like Lauren’s approach better) I’m sure I’m forgetting others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVoiceFan2 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have a lot to say but I'll start with the first thing that came to mind with this thread Zan Fiskum - Blowin' in The Wind.... also another one that deserves a shoutout imo Bella DeNapoli - The Sweet Escape (the recorded version....chefs kiss) Ngl, I tend to prefer the contestant's performances over the original songs in many occasions, so the list would be pretty long lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misirlou Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 An example that quickly comes to mind is Jeremy and Jershika´s battle of Hold On by Justin Bieber. I only heard the original once or twice when it was revealed they were singing that song. After their performance aired, I haven´t gone back to the original at any point. I just listen to their version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorWax Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I've gotten so used to hearing Sid Kingsley's version of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" that even when I discovered the Peter, Paul and Mary version (who's version of Blowin' In The Wind I adore), I still preferred Sid's version. Yes, I know it's by Bob Dylan but I merely just respect him for his lyrics because I'm not a fan of how he sings.

QueenKalie Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I guess personal taste and everything but everyone is kinda going overboard on some of these choices. Edited January 5, 2022 by QueenKalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie is a beast vocalist but on that particular song I prefer Jordan. Not only do I like Jordan's version more but I also think that he did a better job too. Freddie might've done better better if he was in a competition like Jordan was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
