It was originally sung by Talk Talk, but never mind. I love that song. Katie could probably do a reasonable job of the No Doubt version but her doing the Gwen Stefani impression yet again would be a bit dull.
No Doubt's cover of that song is horrible in every single way. The lyrics just don't work with an affected whiny-raspy delivery. They need absolute conviction. It's the perfect example of a karaoke cover.
Katie covering that would be like a poor quality of a poor quality photocopy, full of noise and hiss but ultimately meaningless.
The Talk Talk version is not remotely rock. It'll either be the No Doubt version or more likely, Bon Jovi. For what it's worth, I far prefer No Doubt's version.
Interesting that the No Doubt version be described as whiny, when that's a far more accurate description of the Talk Talk song.

No Doubt's cover of It's My Life is no more rocky than the original. The music track is almost exactly the same as the original, the only difference is Gwen Stefani's awful nasal vocal.

It's not by No Doubt! It's by Talk Talk!
Yes, mind. No Doubt's version is atrocious.
Yes dear :rolleyes:
Or even better, the Dr Alban song of the same name!
Brilliant.
The speed of the verse is perfect for her to do that pathetic baby voice singing that she does though. Unfortunately.
It's not a No Doubt song! :mad:
Thats right, it's a TALK TALK song
Me too, which is why i'm switching over when Katie comes on
Good plan!
This.
And this again.

Repeat after me...
Its NOT a No Doubt song. It was originally released by Talk Talk in the 1980s.
Can't be happier:D
