Under My Covers, Vol. 2 (updated)

*The roommates are off seeing Harry Potter. I did not tag along because I have only seen the third one and have read 0 of the books so I know I would be lost. One day, I will pull a HP marathon. But with them gone, I feel like I wanted to blog but nothing has been really happening worth blogging about. Maybe something exciting this weekend. I will be in Troy. But after that, probably nothing.

*Also, show was great last night. I am working on tweaking the file (you will see why when I'm done). But I think you will like it.

Anyways, on to the post. On the first one of these, there was virtually no positive feedback. It's cool with me, I'm not in the band so I don't get my feelings hurt. I actually liked the honesty. But because of that, I'm not sure where I want to go with the next one. I am going to try and stay away from the Punk Goes... series for as long as I can cuz those are almost too easy.

Ok here is my thing about covers: I don't really like a hardcore band covering a hardcore song. It just ends up sounding the same. Although there a few here and there that are good. My favorite kinds are when a guy covers a girls song or vice versa, it's an acoustic cover of a fast song or if it crosses genres, like this one, where we go from R&B/pop to Alternative.

Today's cover: Cry Me A River

Original version by Justin Timberlake

Cover version by Lostprophets (please forgive the quality)

What do you think? Did they do it justice? Did they butcher it? Make it better? Obviously I like it, but I'm curious as to what you think...
