Right now in the music world there is a battle of the song going on...original vs cover.
The song in question is 'Somebody That I Used To Know' by Belgium-Australian singer/songwriter Gotye (feat Kimbra). It sits at song #8 on iTunesCanada Singles Chart.
Then there's the cover by Walk of the The Earth. It comes in at #2 on the iTunes Canada Singles Chart.
You either love the cover or you love the original.
Now I have a soft spot for good covers but Gotye's vocal stylings of Peter Gabriel meets Sting makes me swoon—so I am on Team Original.
Here are both versions...and you can decide for yourself...Team Original or Team Cover?
Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.
Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.
So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
