Please don't post it! I'm already imagining the horrors that probably are right now!

Another awful cover is My Chemical Romance's All I Want For Christmas Is You.

I'm a McFly fan...but their version is not a patch on Queen's.

OK it's their song, but Mary J Blige singing 'One' with U2, totally ruined the sublime original - what's with all the wailing?

Leona Lewis - Run
Sugababes/Girls Aloud - Walk this way

I don't think Rolf will be bothered. I somehow don't think he was trying to do a good cover version. It's called a spoof

I know isn't liked by alot of people, but the melisma/wailing is still done by Harry Nilsson too although to a lesser degree. Badfinger's original was a straight melody, but it's not like Mariah completely added the wailing from scratch. Nilsson's version still has the "can't liiiiiive-iii-ahhh-iee-eve" doesn't it

I'll nominate Rik Waller's version of I Will Always Love You. Mind you, I don't like Whitney's version either...thank god that's not the original!
