The Sisters of Mercy, imho, did the definitive cover.

I've just found on YT a live version of it. fking hell! It is spine tingling
A bit of a country/rock take on Eminem's Lose your self. Amazing performance and really shows all the emotion of the singer.

I put that on a few weeks ago but it may have suffered from being one of the last posts on a previous page.
For the most unlikely of covers I'll submit Richard Thompson's version of Britney Spears' Oops I did it again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4WGsMplGxU
Been following the rise and rise of Mia X Ally since they sprang to viral fame first separately then together.
What happens when you do an electric rock violin and bagpipe cover of a legendary bluegrass hit?

"Better" probably depends on your taste in music but this metal version of Sam Smith's "Unholy" by Nik Nocturnal & Johnny Ciardullo works much better for me...
Nik Nocturnal does a few things like this if you like it and want more of the same.
well SS isn't performing so that's a good start I actually quite liked thatNik Nocturnal does a few things like this if you like it and want more of the same.
Bit early for Christmas but turn volume up and close your eyes for Birdy -walking In the air. First heard years ago years ago when I had 5 quiet minutes at 3am in work.

Prep ‘As it Was’ (Harry Styles cover)
For me, to say it’s better than the Harry Styles orig. is like saying a Petrus is better than a Chilean Merlot from JS (probably doing the Merlot disservice there, and me cos I like a Chilean Merlot..)
A (bass) cover of Prep’s cover:
The musician folk here can tell me if her playing really is as awesome as I think it is.
