Whose 'Use Somebody' cover do you prefer?
To coincide with the other threads about cover versions I want to get your feedback on whether you think Pixie Lott or Paramore's version is better.
if you haven't heard either of them yet here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXk_KVNfInU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5o8L-Or0O4 for the record, i prefer pixie lott's version by a mile!

This is only a worthwhile thread if the cover versions are better than the originals - not even close

i only really like the original, not fussed on either of those covers.
bat for lashes' version is nice, but the club version (not sure who by) is an abomination. |

Nothing will ever beat the KoL original, but if I had to choose, I'd say Pixie, as I am more familiar with it.

I think these are a lot better than any of them.
Laura Jansen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBzcOUOY5YY Tyler Hilton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fylQf...eature=related But I dont think anyone could do it better than KOL. |

Neither better than the original, but Pixie lotts version doesn't suit the song 'at all'! It sounds so wrong, her voice and style is totally unfitting for this.
So I'll have to go with Paramore. |

I like Laura's and the version on American Idol's Brooke White's album isn't too bad either.

None. Kings of Leon are one of my favourite bands, and that song is without a doubt their worse. it should be forbidden to cover it.

Neither of them.
Pixies sounds just like "Hey, I can sing, let's turn that track up really loud so it overrides everything else" Paramore nearly knocked me to sleep. For the moment, the original wins. |

I love Pixie's and thats not because i am being biased because im a fan. Her cover of it is stunning. Paramore's was shockingly good though.
