Today, I decided to have a little fun. I changed the name from Masquerade Monday to #makeovermonday because I needed to think of something more catchy and I really didn't care for the other.
I decided that for today I would choose some songs that were originally recorded and performed by male artists, but were later covered by female artists. I chose just a few that I like and thought deserved a spot on the list. Some people may not have heard the cover version before. I sometimes like the cover versions better than the originals, but oftentimes, I will not tell anyone and will leave it a mystery.
Please enjoy these cover songs and let me know what you think of them.
- This first song was originally recorded and performed by Rod Stewart, but was later recorded by Sheryl Crow, who I believe, did a great job with the cover of The First Cut Is The Deepest.
- The next song was originally recorded and performed by the band Radiohead and was later recorded by Michelle Branch. And yes, I am referring to the song Creep. Another great cover by a female vocalist.
- And last but definitely not least for the day, Amy Lee from Evanescence covered Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box. How do you think she did?
Sincerely,
Ilsa Ione
