Cover songs better than original

[Big Rig]

They are making quite the fashion statement with their wild suits and cute Beatle haircut . In the 1960s this nonsense was considered great music
Why did they perform in the subway and get in everyones way? It is lip singing anyways
Bands had stupid names in the 60s

. Best cover of thís song by far was by K.D. Lang sung live at the B.C. Olympics years ago on front of a full stadium of thousands of people.

Richard did do some singing on the harmonies.

Postmodern Jukebox does incredible reimaginings/covers. Probably the best of the lot IMHO is this one. The pipes (and tits) on this woman are incredible.

AGT is fake.

Explotative in extreme as they only pay one performer and make them sign a ridiculous contract.

Then the judges pretend they did not know what the contestant was gonna do but this is their second performance, of course, as they had to perform for their audition so Judges are well aware what to expect

But they have their moments

I never expected this voice to come out of this guy and that is why they put him on. He is not a great singer but is a great screamer for rock and roll

I don't know if this counts, since it's Chuck Berry's song, but this one singing with John Lennon and Yoko Ono getting mutted is gold.

I relistened based on your thoughtful review and I disagree.

The songs screams for Janis Joplin's uncontrolled gritty soul
not Reddings reserved controlled soul.

Courtney Hadwin rendition of Otis Reddings Hard to Handle
is pure grit and she is only 13. I would agree with you if she tried to do a quiet soulful rendition.

I do not base my opinion on Howie Mandells belief she is the next Joplin and the Golden Buzzer award as it is all fake AGT hype. He had that golden buzzer and the Joplin comparison rehearsed and the Judges knew he was gonna give the Golden Buzzer.

AGT edits the magic shows and everthing else based on who they want to win and they want the acts that will draw the most viewers , talent is coincidental and a 13 year old girl screaming out grit is what will bring the viewers back, hence the golden buzzer
