    I dislike the random key changes, the choppy orchestration... what... I'm watching the X-Factor thing. I don't even know if someone who's never heard it previously would understand it as a cohesive song.

    I'd wager it depends on the contract that the music was created under. It probably differs from artist to artist.

    I had to walk away after two lines of the X-factor performance. Nothing to do with the quality of the performance, it was just so weird to hear it live

    I wish everybody would leave hurt the hell alone. The "Man In Black" already covered it and nailed it. I do not need to hear 50 versions of hurt. I'm just fine with the original and JC's version.

    seriously, there's plenty of newer and amazing songs to cover other than hurt. i'm sick of it to the point where i'm unable to enjoy it live.

    Leona has a really pretty voice, she can sing. Yes. But it's hard to believe what she sings when a tv show made her famous and she has nothing to do with the lyrics.

    Oh god, she's just done it again live on the Royal Variety Performance. How very dare they.

    I think it will be accurate to assume she has no idea what Nine Inch Nails is

    Hundredth have a video for their awful cover: the lead singer looks so into it, it's hilarious

    At least she's using that flatted 5th note in the verses, and not Cash's general chords.

    The cover is not atrocious, per se (EDIT: oh, well, I just got to the second verse and chorus - ummm, pop pop pop), but I'm really disappointed to see this being trotted around. Why the hell cover this song to make your name?

    This reminds me of Adam Lambert making strides in American Idol covering "Mad World", and his version was very, very similar to Gary Jules' version, but I wondered about the familiarity of fans with Tears For Fears.

    Meh... One would at least think that they'd be OK with the word SHIT instead of thorns.

    Or, you could go the Leona Lewis route, and leave out that line entirely - all the better to quickly get back to that poppy refrain!

    srsly? I've avoided that cover so far, I'm afraid I have to hear it to believe it now...

    earlier this year there was a topic about full album cover project, successfully funded through kickstarter.com
    first demo is here - http://inversephase.bandcamp.com/tra...ameboy-monomix
    looking forward to that one, i think it deserves a separate topic

    1) riding on TR's coattails
    2) thinking that little of TR's edginess will rub off on them if they cover it
    3) maybe they really like the song

    Well since we´re talking bout Hurt covers this is my own personal take on that one...
    It's kind off a NIN "instrumental cover" with the Cash vocal melody on it...
    Im not sure if it's good or not but im pretty sure it's better than the Leona Lewis one
