Idol covers that are better than the original

I can't be the only one who find idol covers of Western pop songs often much better than the original song. Curious to see what you guys say~ I love opinion topics like this.

 

For me, I'm very biased to Tiffany's voice so a lot of her covers sound hella a lot better than others to me. Particularly, I liked her cover of The Way, but that might be because Ariana's voice is annoying after a while. I could listen to Tiffany's version for hours.

I also think Seohyun is an underrated vocalist. Her voice is really pretty and she's more on point than Jessica sometimes. Not to mention, she's cute as a button. If I didn't hate Taylor Swift, I might feel differently, but I love her cover of Speak Now.

"Better" is a big word when you're biased... I prefer some covers, but I know I have no right to say they are "better" when I am a fan of the artist who's covering the song. It's not very objective.
DBSK/JYJ spam... sorry

 

Keshou (Miyuki Nakajima) by Jaejoong

 

 


It works for many other covers by Jaejoong, I just can't put all of them here.

Okay, this one is weird, but I love their voices. 

 

 

 

It's raining men (The weather girls) by DBSK (Jaejoong and Changmin + HoSuChun in the background)

I prefer the cover, but I wouldn't say it's better, I don't know. It's different. And I'm biased  :hurr: 

 

 

Rainy blue (Hideaki Tokunaga) by DB5K or Jaechun or JYJ

 

I am again REALLY biased, and I know Hideaki Tokunaga's version is good. But I just prefer their versions.

Jaechun version here because it was the first I heard, and because DB5K's version is just too sad for me (december '09 is not the best era).

I would put "Rusty nail" (X-Japan) sung by Changmin, but I can't say I like it "better" than the original. Maybe nearly as much, though, which is already impressive for me. 

Same with "Glamorous sky" (Hyde, Mika Nakeshima) sung by Jaejoong. I love his version as much as Hyde's one, but not "more".
