It's criminal they didn't include "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, covered by Johnny Cash

[@jasonpatrick4444]

That was my thought.

[@shaywestlake9709]

I love Cash’s cover too.

Its not a contest. Even NiN said its his song now

Came to type that!

[@GingeDSI]

Easy choice, Dolly all day. Can’t stand wailing Whitney’s shouting version.

[@XSDX3R0]

@@GingeDSI that has to be a very unpopular opinion because even Dolly loves Whitney's version.

[@GingeDSI]

@@XSDX3R0 So what? Am I supposed to change my opinion now? Whitney ruined the song by shouting the chorus. Dolly’s version is more emotional.

[@WTF-TV2415]

Fun fact: the high-pitched "Galileo" throughout the middle of "Bohemian Rhapsody" were actually done by Queen's drummer Roger Taylor.

[@roc9sy]

How could you leave out one of the most iconic covers of all time: ‘I Will Always Love You’. Whitney Houston/Dolly Parton.

[@chieftanke]

coz it be too obvious, Whitney's version is far far far superior, even Dolly agreed in an interview with Kelly Clarkson

[@garyfennen4581]

I loved Dolly's version much better, way more emotional to the songs original meaning! But I like Whitney's version as an iconic movie song.

[@garyfennen4581]

@chieftanke no it is not far far far superior Dolly never had to yell at the top of her lungs just to be noticed! Both renditions are amazing in their own rights! You must be a country music hatr!

[@ashley4889]

I was thinking that too. She still right though - he did not eat compared to Freddie Mercury. To his credit though, that's like, a universal thing, it's not like Brendon Urie is the only one - I don't think anyone could REALLY do Queen justice.

[@DavidHutchinson0713]

With regards to Bohemian Rhapsody, I do stand with the original Queen version, but Brendan Urie is honestly one of the most capable singers of our time, and he had the ability to cover the song well; his version is my second favorite. I also like the Muppets version though, that one is just plain fun while still being respectful of the original (and I believe it's something Brian May understood as well, hence why he was willing to actually let the Muppets team use the master tapes). For a Part 2, please include David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" with, of course, Nirvana's version.

[@tiffanymichaels2429]

Love the Nirvana version so much.

[@ariqsyafwan4987]

Agree wholeheartedly, shame Beebo is retiring so early... wishes him and the upcoming baby nothing but the best tho

[@jamesenglebert9149]

Part 2 now please: Sound of silence ( Simon and Garfunkel vs Disturbed) I will always love you (Dolly Parton vs Whitney Houston) Stay with me (Sam Smith vs T-Pain on the Masked Singer) Hurt (9 Inch Nails Vs Johnny Cash) Radioactive (Imagine Dragons vs Pentatonix)

[@GoddessGirl2121]

Queen for Bohemian Rhapsody, Aretha for Respect, Beatles for Come Together, Tina Turner for Proud Mary, Elton John for Bennie and the Jets, Madonna for Borderline. With Life is a Highway I think it’s a tie.

[@martythetickler]

I agree mostly. Except I’m choosing the original Life is a Highway simply because it has nothing to do with Cars, because I REVILE that movie.

Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm, Anyway You Want It by Rise Against, Careless Whisper by Seether... here's one out of left field... Heart Attack by Terabrite rather than Demi Lovato. And of course, TikTok by Woe Is Me... Hot N Cold also... and Blank Space by I Prevail. Oh, and Blame It by Of Mice And Men... and Call Me Maybe by The Animal In Me, and of course, Friday by Jonathan Young ft. Caleb Hyles. All covers I prefer. If possible, I'd love for you to get Jonathan and Caleb to react to covers vs originals, since it's what they do. Also, I'd love to see what they say about Friday lol.

[@bossvonbosserson781]

Alien Ant Farm does a solid job covering Smooth Criminal.

[@christophersimmons1850]

They mentioned not touching Whitney in the start of the video, but I bet a lot of them don't even know that Dolly wrote and recorded "I Will Always Love You" first. It would be fun to see their reaction to that in another video.

[@aleathacoleman6413]

Almost everyone knows this.

[@offdabeatz]

Should have had some fun with them and done some harder rock type covers. Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love In this moment - Call me Disturbed - The sound of silence Metallica - Turn the page Ice Nine Kills - Someone like you I prevail - Blank Space of coarse you could really throw them for a loop Electric Callboy - Every time we touch Dragonforce - My heart will go on

[@Alex_B1210]

[@krissmith800]

This was fun. I was waiting to see if I Will Always Love You would pop up because some people don't know that Dolly Parton did it (not to mention wrote it) before Whitney Houston. Both versions are so good and different that it would be fun to hear debates on which is better.

[@andrewgilbert4659]

They included that in a video where the reactors had to guess whether what was played for them was the original or the cover. Iirc, one or two knew it was a Dolly song first, but most were surprised to hear it wasn't a Whitney original. While I did know that going into it, I think that's the same video where I was surprised to learn that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun was not a Cyndi Lauper original (and was done by an obscure male artist first).

[@krissmith800]

@@andrewgilbert4659 I know it was done before, but I was just wondering which they thought was best and the talk that could ensue. Some of the other songs that were on that earlier episode could also have been included. Just a thought is all.

As a Canadian, I have to go with Tom’s original version. I still remember being absolutely floored when it became such a massive hit in the US, at the time. I LOVED (still do) CCR back in high school. I even used it as my computer password for typing class. :) Tina owns it though. Phoebe Bridgers’ version is really good. What’s great about The Cure’s original version is that it is one of those feel good super catchy tunes, juxtaposed with some pretty depressing lyrics, that when you finally realise it, sends you to the freezer for some ice cream. lol

[@oliviaricker3042]

Although I would vote CCR's version better than Tina's, I would vote for Elvis' version over both of them.

[@tiacho2893]

I remember hearing Bob Dylan and Trent Reznor admitted they prefer the covers of "All Along the Watch Tower" (Jimi Hendrix) and "Hurt" (Johnny Cash). And as a Canadian, Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway" is the only choice.
