I don't know what it is about them but covers, man, sometimes they just get to me. Sometimes I honestly find them to be better than the original version of the songs. Covers have become increasingly popular over the years. Just look at shows such as The Voice and American Idol, they are shows practically live off people singing covers of songs. Here are some songs in which I think the cover's are actually better than the original songs.

1. John Mayer- Free Fallin' (Tom Petty)

While this song is a classic and Tom Petty's voice is pretty magical, I would have to say I prefer the version John Mayer did. Something about John Mayer.. his voice is just angelic.

2. Ed Sheeran- Skinny Love (Bon Iver)

First and for most, I have a weak spot in my heart for baby Ed so that may be why I love this version so much. Ed kills this version of Skinny Love though no one can deny that.

3. Ellie Golding- Your Song (Elton John)

While I feel like it would be a little unfair to say Ellie's version is "better" than Elton John's version since he is just such a legend, Ellie's version is pretty close to just as good in my opinion. With 60 Million views on her youtube video, Ellie sure did grab people's attention with this cover, which is no surprise to me at all. It's amazing, none the less.

4. Taylor Swift- Riptide (Vance Joy)

I'm still a huge fan of Vance Joy's version of this song, however, Taylor's version is beautiful and I quite enjoy this song played at a slower pace!

5. Sam Hunt- Strawberry Wine (Deana Carter's)

Petitioning for a full version of this one, because Sam Hunt is a beautiful human and I need more of a 1 minute of this cover to continue living. It's that good.

6. Miley Cyrus- Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Ray)

I feel like people sometimes forget just how great Miley's vocals really are. This cover showcases her talents for sure!

7. Alessia Cara- Can't Feel My Face (The Weeknd)

Not a huge fan of the original song, but this cover is definitely a new and interesting take on the song that I quite enjoy!

8. Closer- Boyce Avenue ft. Sarah Hyland (The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey)

I love the song Closer, but this cover is 10x more well done than the originally.. sorry Chainsmokers. You would never imagine closer as a slow song until you hear this cover and you start to wonder if closer should have been a slow song all along?

9. Ex's and Oh's- Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens (Elle King)

Childhood dreams of Sharpay and Gabriella doing a song together = complete. Beautiful and magical is an understatement to this cover. Love ya Elle King, but i think Ashley and Vanessa have outshines you a bit.

Happy Listening!
