    Supposedly Jordan is gonna murder, sorry cover, the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself" record from the 1990's. Now this is a huge hit in clubs and young trendy pubs so if she DOES in fact release it we're all done for.

    One to avoid:
    Rolf Harris - Stairway to Heaven

    However, Far Corporation - Stairway To Heaven, is quite acceptable

    One to find Richard Cheese' version of stairway to heaven!!! Funny as hell! a great tune aswell! Hes a lot better than Wierd Al, he actually makes good jazz music! and the piano playing the guitar solo is pure class! my favourite!

    Wonderwall - Ryan Adams

    Disliked the original but detest this even more. A dirge. What the appeal is with this track baffles me beyond an hours worth of chin stroking.

    Aw, come on, it's not that bad. You must remember Mike Flowers' version?!?!

    I cringe to listen to the cover version Erasure did in 2003 of The Buggle's "Video Killed The Radio Star"! :eek:

    Also, not a cover version as such, but I don't like how Jamelia sampled The Strangler's "Golden Brown" for her single "No More" in 2007! :mad:

    Also, I don't like how Eminem sampled Markita's "Toy Soldiers" for his song "Like Toy Soldiers"! :mad:

    The Smiths bedsit classic 'How Soon Is Now?' turned cringe-making by we-wish lesbos T.A.T.U.

    I was looking earlier on for music used in Gossip Girl and came across this! :eek: Terrible!

    Well Billy Joel's Uptown Girl in the 80's was a horrific no 1 (and I love the man!)

    But Westlife's version was an abomination.

    I don't know.... I actually prefer the Westlife version of "Uptown Girl" to Bill Joel's version of "Uptown Girl"!

    East 17 did a wonderful job of destroying the Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls. Shocking!:eek:

    ......Although the Pet shop Boys are also guilty of musical atrocities, having previously murdered U2's - Where the streets have no name.

    One Direction - One Way Or Another/Teenage Kicks
    The Saturdays - Just Can't Get Enough (and this is coming from a Saturdays fan who has even seen the group live!)
    Girls Aloud - See The Day
    Anything by Westlife
    Any awful X Factor winners' single (apart from Hallelujah by Alexandra Burke)
    Anything by Glee Cast
    Any cover of an ABBA song. IMO ABBA songs should only be sung by ABBA.

    Yes, Girls Aloud See The Day was excrutiating. I recall them singing it live on TV and it was fingernails down the blackboard time. I am getting shivers just thinking of the horror of it all
