Make Over Monday - Cover Songs
Today, I decided to have a little fun. I changed the name from Masquerade Monday to #makeovermonday because I needed to think of something more catchy and I really didn't care for the other.
I decided that for today I would choose some songs that were originally recorded and performed by male artists, but were later covered by female artists. I chose just a few that I like and thought deserved a spot on the list. Some people may not have heard the cover version before. I sometimes like the cover versions better than the originals, but oftentimes, I will not tell anyone and will leave it a mystery.
Please enjoy these cover songs and let me know what you think of them.
- This first song was originally recorded and performed by Rod Stewart, but was later recorded by Sheryl Crow, who I believe, did a great job with the cover of The First Cut Is The Deepest.
- The next song was originally recorded and performed by the band Radiohead and was later recorded by Michelle Branch. And yes, I am referring to the song Creep. Another great cover by a female vocalist.
- And last but definitely not least for the day, Amy Lee from Evanescence covered Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box. How do you think she did?
Sincerely,

Very different from most of the Michelle Branch stuff that got played on the radio. I like it though!
Yes, it is. I never thought I'd hear her sing a song that sounded that dark for her. I thought she did well with it. I won't tell you how I heard about it. It's kind of embarrassing. Lol
