I like it. It is a totally different take on the song but very melodic and pretty. I want it for my ipod :)

...i don't agree witcha'...different, mellower, yes. but it's oddly touching in a way when the ice is removed from the track. who knew there was even a melody?

it's not THAT bad. i mean, she's not covering "paint it black" or "where the streets have no name" or "born in the usa" or something that merits reverence!

I must say, i love that the throwaway posts on the playlist gets the the most comments and posts i work really hard on with research, etc. get none. heh, such is life i guess, or perhaps you're all trying to tell me something.

Also, anyone who's followed us closely would know we would LOVE to easily adore every moment of everything Mandy Moore does, even brushing her teeth, but sadly, it's not just meant to be.

"It's not so bad"? What are you talking about? It's an absolutely wonderful cover, so much better than the original one. I never liked listening to Rihanna's version of the song until I heard Mandy sing it. Mandy has proven here that she is a grown up artist that is capable of making something really beautiful out of a cheap dance track.

Boy does Many Whore know how to completely screw up a great hit. I guess since she has absolutely NO talent, she had to go and steal a good artists music and try to make her way. Its a shame that she only ended up embarrassing herself and looking like a lame, no talent a$$ clown. ...well i mean, even more so. Ihope she takes this as a learning experience. "Never sing the song of andf artist, who OBVIOUSLY has WAY more talent than you do?" Mandys officially PATHETIC!

Ok, now it deeply disturbs me that the most throw-away post on this blog in weeks is the most-commented on in weeks. Time to officially call it a day.

eh, it's sweet and she sings pretty, but it lacks both emotion and depth that any song requires.....
I like Marie Digby's version better...
This was a little too mellow for me...
