I do enjoy Amy's cover of this song a little too much. I like this acoustic version. Her voice is so powerful and it doesn't even look like she's trying too hard.

And I know there aren't any Glee peeps on here, but I think Naya Rivera did a good cover of Amy's cover of the Zutons. (I love when people cover covers. It makes my head spin a little.)

I absolutely love this cover.
The video and the lyrics make me thing of my dad.Just how he's getting up there in age and I can imagine him thinking like that.
Makes me incredibly sad every time.

The original is by nine inch nails.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Every time I hear this song, I want to cry. JC's cover is amazing.

I don't know why in Spain's musical contests 95% of the people do pop music :/

I need to move to Sweden :

^ I really like Muse, but I love Nina Simone's version of that song so much that I can't even listen to that one. It just doesn't compare for me. And she's not even the original singer of that song, either!

Pretty awful original:

Great cover:
Last Kiss - Pearl Jam - YouTube

Now this song is really interesting to me. Each version is pretty awesome IMHO (yes, even the Glee one). But with each cover, I can actually understand the lyrics better. Seriously, I never could understand what MJ was saying and I liked the Alien Ant Farm cover mostly for the guitar riff. And the cello riffs (can a cello have riffs?) in the Glee cover are so cool.

But my favorite part is that, on each of the YouTube pages, people keep commenting that, "They should stop asking if Annie is okay. She is clearly not okay!!"
