Possibly The Worse Cover Version in The World

I get really annoyed when artists can't be bothered to make their own music and make terrible covers of a perfectly good song.


I don't mean taking a hook or melody from a song and using it sometimes that works really well, but I mean doing a cover that frankly is just a lazy excuse for not being original.


There have been some truly horrendous covers in the past, for example Take That doing Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit



or Atomic Kitten doing Blondie's Tide Is High


Or Girls Aloud covering the Pretenders I'll Stand By You


These songs are a classic for a reason, leave them alone and come up with something original!

Do you want to see what has caused this rant? Well its this lazy arse, excuse for music by the Black Eye Peas! 

They have covered the Time of My Life, its not even a good cover. It sounds terrible and every time is comes on I have to switch it off, it makes me angry?

I'll let you judge for yourself!

White

The Gallery prompt for this week is White. I wasn't going to take part this week as we've been so busy and me and OH were going away for a few days. 


That was until on the way to our little getaway I saw the most gorgeous views and OH stopped the car so I could take some pictures.  They are taken on my phone.












 This last one was taken as we left the hotel.
