Tori Amos' cover of...

... "I don't like Mondays" is pretty poor. I normally like
her voice, but on this it sounds like Macy Grey (and I
notice I'm not the only one to think that she
sucks... check 3rd site down on a google on her name), ie
like a 4 year old with the flu and no singing training.

I really like the Boomtown Rat's version, it manages to be
twee, but epic at the same time in a Queen sort of way.

to be honest i dont like all this r'n'b.
it seems musically poor to me, mayube some tracks from Macy
are quite good technically, but i cant find feeling in it
anyway- im glad that there are people like You, who can
listen different types of music - even so different like
r'n'b and IDM

I'd not describe the original or the tori amos cover as
rnb... I was just saying that tori's voice sounds like macy
grey's (which I don't like at all!)

I recommend you check out the original track though, it's
really good. The boomtown rats- I don't like mondays.

I don't like any of her covers, maybe aside from the
beginning of Raining Blood

my favourite cover on that album is enjoy the silence, I
think her own track are much better than her covers on this
album though.

i really didn't like this album, but other than that, i
think her covers typically rock, ie: landslide, tiny
dancer, not that these were ever actually released....but
she has done her fair share of great covers.

i dunno, it didn't seem like she really went all out on this
album (save for the four different covers, jesus christ).

Well if its anything like her cover of Raining blood (reign
in blood) its probably magically bitter tasting.

this is my least favorite album of hers, but Rattlesnakes
and Time are gems--pure beauty.

I got it, with the dvd too. The re-mix is Professional
Widow, the original is better. I like the new tracks, not
sure why A Sorta Fairytale isn't on it though.
