What about these little gems....ahem....

 

Bryan Adam's Run to You was covered in early 90's by a electro-pop band "Rage'

 

Foreigner - Feels LIke The First time covered by a 70's Soul artist (name escapes me)

 

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters by Lucy Silva

 

Led Zepp's Kashmir - Puff Daddy aka 'Come With Me'

 

Bowie's Man Who Sold The World.....LuLu

[Fat Freddy]

Celine Dion's godawful cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long" from a VH1 awards show a few years back

I seem to vaguely recall a popish/dance band cover of Dokken-Dream Warrior.

[zrock63]

I remember a dance/pop group call The Party redoing Dokken's..."In My Dreams"...

[All Nights Reserved]

Back In Black by Shakira... well at least it's visually nice. (Man, I love this chick! )

Mariah CArey doing Journey's 'Open Arms' and Def Leppards ' Bringing on the Heartbreak'.......

[Captain Howdy]

Not terrible, but not that great.

I like Sheryl, but this cover just didnt do anything for me.

I actually hated it initially, but its grown on me a bit over the years.

This one though, I hated.

I like a couple of Apollo 440s tunes, but certainly not this shite.

DJ Sammy

 

This version I despise

This version I really like

Not sure if Reel Big Fish really classes as pop, but they do like their cover songs

I used to love this tune! Still don't mind it tbh.

 

I'm still scarred by the recent pop/dance version of "Don't Stop Believin'". I have no interest in knowing who did it, but suffice to say they should be executed for crimes against music. An absolute disgrace. (BTW, when the original version of a song is that good, it should be illegal for anyone to cover it.)

You mean this turd?

Of course, and rock song performed on Glee is bloody awful as well (ditto for any other genre covered on that show).

I remember hearing that back in the day...I so wanted to jump through the radio and strangle those fucks.

Urgh! My ears, my ears!

 

(It was probably the Glee one I'd heard, but this is just as bad.)

Kiss's Heavens On Fire covered by that Rock\Electro\Dance female group from Sweden called Star

 

and Emerald Rains song Everything Is Broken got covered by some chick from Canada that sounds like Sharyl Crow!
