  i'd say johnny cash's hurt is as good as the original, however uptown girl by westlife is terrible and bowie/jaggers dancing in the street is considered to be one of the worst covers around

  
  Good shout ! Johnny Cash's Hurt is amazing and improves on the original dramatically , I'd say.

  People will disagree alot but for me:
  
  Little mix - Cannonball
  Alexandra Burke - Halleujah
  Leona - Run
  Gabrille Aplin - Power Of Love
  Ellie Goulding - Your Song

  
  You can't be serious about the first three and I'm not familiar with your 5th suggestion.

  What about 'It Must Be Love' by Madness? I like the Labi Siffre version, but the Madness version just transforms the song.

  
  Love both these.
