The cheek of you both 
Worst cover versions for me are Madonna - american pie Westlife & Mariah carey - against all odds Steve Brookstein - Against all odds I'm sure theres loads more

Aww Kellie 
One of the worst cover versions for me was Mad World by Gary Jules - talk about turning it into the most depressing song ever 
Much preferred the original by Tears for Fears

Not a cover version really but one that is driving me mad at the moment ! Someone is singing an old Carpenters song - close to you on a TV advert - absolutely murders the song !
2 of my favourite singers got together and killed a song a couple of years ago - Celine Dion and Anastasia singing you shook me all night long - it was actually quite scary
Hillary Duff (I think that's her name) tried to sing My generation. Madonna has already been mentioned and is up there with the worst too.

with most songs that are cover versions i prefer the cover as the original is too old fashioned for my liking, however there are a couple i hate but the worst has to be rik wallers version of i will always love you

The Carpenters one sounds like Chris Martin to me, not sure if it's him though

Have to say that I started to think about this and after reading some reminders above...it has to be
Mad World by Gary Jules Uptown Girl - Westlife Can't better that and thank you for those who reminded me about these

Trouble was the original was too good to better - personally if I had never heard the original up town girl I would have loved the west life one, who ever made the choice to record that did the boys a disservice
