Her version of Here Comes The Sun gets me every time, I love George Harrison, but Nina's version is something else.

I'll take covers that completely and utterly kick the shit out of the original for $500, Alex.

Kelly Clarkson has had a lot of these "covers" over her career lol

I could go on and on lol

to be fair most of these are filler tracks on albums, with the exception of I Do Not Hook Up being a single

Jesus Katy's Long Shot is terrible. I love that song though.

If I remember correctly there was a producing group called The Matrix and they did some big pop songs (a couple of Avril's early hits for example) and then they "found" Katy and like tried to make a band and they released the two Kelly songs I posted here and one other but obviously the band never went anywhere lol

so Katy Perry had her first album which I think??? was gospel and then she had her weird matrix band and then she finally hit it big with I Kissed A Girl

[lilacwater]

She dated some dude from Relient K too right? Weird to think of her if she went down that route. What a jump from gospel to I Kissed a Girl haha
