Boo this man!

 

For real though, I understand if someone thinks the renditions weren't great, but weren't even done well? That's pretty harsh, lol.

 

Anyways, I feel like a bunch of songs listed will be one and dones. Case in point, mystery of love by sufjan stevens..

If we are going down the route of picking songs that weren't covered terribly bad but all the covers have been meh, then "Alone" belongs to this thread. Not even a single cover ever remotely close to the original

Well if you mean not good as in bad (rather than okay/inconsistent), then yeah I wouldn’t say it. But I feel like then I can’t really think of songs that have been done like more than twice and all the versions were bad lol? That’s What I Like comes to mind but then there was Shadale…

Clarity by Zedd f/Foxes

 

It was covered by some of the Voice’s best contestants (Michelle Chamuel, Jackie Lee) but it came off lackluster and IMO their worst performance.

 

Also covered by Madilyn Paige and got her eliminated.

- Fix You by Coldplay (no one has managed to make the climax of this song land)

- Call Me by Blondie

- no tears left to cry by Ariana Grande

I have heard it and it’s ridiculously good. To say that Chloe and Kate’s versions pale in comparison would be an understatement.

I think Morgan Taylor did a very good job so I’m gonna have to disagree here. Tamara also wasn’t bad even if I didn’t like her cover as much.


I thought Morgan did… just about as well as she could do. Some strong parts but overall I’m not sure it came together. It’s so easy to get messy in that song and the verses are deceptively hard.

 

But then again we come back to Brooke Simpson’s version so I do think it’s possible to nail it? You just have to be crazy good to get both the personality and technical aspects.

My standards may not be as high but what I liked about Morgan’s version is that she captured the essence of the song even if there were messy parts.

Given that both Kimberly Nichole and Troy Ramey ended up getting eliminated because of it, Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" should be considered.

Kiara Brown from S17 had a pretty good version of that song.
