When the cover is better than the original?

What covers do you think are better than the original? I like these ones.

Fix you by Coldplay covered by First to Eleven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilkYaCISJXo

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen covered by Jeff Buckley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4

Barbie girl by Aqua covered by Halocene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHhzvRZ2j6M (check this one out it's very different)

There are obviously others i like but these I feel are just so much better do you agree?

What covers do you guys like?

I think the Jeff Buckley one is better to be honest! Both lovely though :bubbles:

I like the cover of Black Sheep (originally by Metric), by Brie Larson in the Scott Pilgrim film!

I meant that the Jeff Buckley version was better than the original by Leonard Cohen.
I prefer the Killswitch Engage version of Holy Diver to the original Dio version.
