Exactly Johnny. I think either do it remarkably better or make something really different. Unfortunately covers are often used by performers running out of ideas or even more by performers who don't write their own stuff but get produced by some "production factory" people. Often it's just a copy or karaoke show. Then they get praised by their often very young fans who often even don`t know that it`s not their own work.
For this one- yes they changed it so the approach is O.K. The result- well it doesn't bother or annoy me but that`s all I could say.
