Sorry i don't know how to copy n paste using this device. The original has incredible high vocals & the cover is insane IMO.

Miljenko Matijevic Of Steelheart is by far one of the best vocals of any so called hair band, He still has some pipes, not like in the late 80’s but he can still sing. Very underrated for his time IMO..

Thanks for posting..

Did you check her out. She really puts 100% into it. Ive watched quite of few covers & she is incredible. The more I listen to her, she adds a touch of something that keeps me going back to listen to it over n over

Miljenco is putting out new stuff & you are correct. Very underrated. When the stagging (whatever it was) fell on him back in the day. That didn't help. His acoustic videos are killer. Also like his interview on how he came up with the lyrics & told his girlfriend. Cool guy

That happened here in Colorado back in the day at McNichols Arena that is no longer standing. The wife and I have been fans since day one, she still thinks he is hot.. LOL!! We saw him a few years ago at a small club, it was great..

90% of their work is covers and some are quite enjoyable.

That was a great cover,

Nice puppies too,

There was a time I was really into Sheryl Crow back in the day, along with the Dixie Chicks..

Here goes the first two bands. My favorite is Leonid & Friends.

My buddy is the Merch guy for Leonid & Friends and I've followed them since they came to the US.
As a Trumpet player back in HS, I love the music but have a hard time with the phrasing that comes from singing in English with a Russian accent (Sorry Vasilli). Can't say how much I miss Terry Kath. Maybe if you could get Jason Derlatka to join them for a set..

We know now who the Russian judge is...

I doubt there is going to be a better cover than the original Michael but that doesn't mean someone can't do an interesting version.

Cover:

Kathy’s Song (Eva Cassidy)

https://youtu.be/9ofYzG66mbE?si=8t3FJidju4c9LIEH

Win goes to Eva by a wide margin for me, as much as I love S&G tunes. I must’ve played her cover 5x in a row the first time I heard it.

jbreezy5 · January 13

Original:

Songbird (Fleetwood Mac)

Eva’s 2-for-2, imo.

Toto all day. Why did the Weezer version ever happen? 😂🤣

boston1450 · January 13

I don't know. I've never seen the Weezer version. It sounded good. But what's up with his body jerking like that & that kick lmao.

When Eva Cassidy passed away to soon, like many others, although her family suffered the greatest loss, the music industry lost a phenomenal talent way way to young.

tophatjohnny · January 14

Joe Jackson’s “Steppin Out” and 99.9% of the time I’ll say the original is best but Trevor Horn did this and other covers on his new album which dropped on Friday and really like what he did on this song and the whole album’s worth a listen!

boston1450 · January 14

Very nice. Never heard that version. So is Seal vocals in background. It sounds vgood. Ive always though he has incredible vocals.
