I admit it; I like Glee.
Of course I like cover songs.
I love this clip from Glee, the dancers are great, but I really liked the song; I had to find out who did it originally. To be honest I like the Glee version better then the original.
Here is the Glee cast:
Here is the original Amy Winehouse version:
Amy had a nice vibe to it, but I think the cover by Glee was better.
What do y'all think?
Is there another song where you like a cover better than the original?

Agree 100%. Had never heard this song, listened to both versions you posted, like Glee's version better :-)

I had heard Amy's version before I saw the Glee Cast cover. I liked the song (never saw the video until now) by Amy, but thoroughly loved the Glee rendition, especially seeing Santana perform (rather than Rachael)...
Thanks for the reflection

The Glee version is much better.
I prefer Amy's original. It has more soul in it. Then again, I've been an Amy fan for a long, long time. Before most of her crazy "episodes".
There are a lot of cover songs that I do prefer to the originals:
Hootie and the Blowfish's cover of Bill Withers' "Use Me";
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole's cover of "Over The Rainbow";
Cake's cover of "I Will Survive";
The B-52's cover of Petula Clark's "Downtown";
Shiny Toy Gun's cover of Peter Schilling's "Major Tom (Coming Home)";
Quietdrive's cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time";
Alanis Morissette's cover of Seal's "Crazy";
and the list goes on....
