For what it's worth, Cobain loved Tori Amos' version of SLTS.

Toria Amos is an actual talented musician though.

Her band plays the song okay (it's really not that hard) and Miley sounds like she always does. I have no problem with her doing the song.

I don't think it's any worse than the original.

Meh, it's about the best thing I've heard her do, actually.

It's better than that American Idol reject doing the song but far, far worse than Tori Amos. I actually prefer Tori's version to the original.

Cmon bros. As much as you may hate the original. The Elaine dance alone makes this worse.

Re: Miley Cyrus covers Smells Like Teen Spirit

I have way less of a problem with this than I do with some group like the Black Eyed Peas coming out and standing in a line, lip syncing to autotuned dance songs. Keep in mind to teenagers today, that song is just a 'classic rock' song. "Imagine", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Iron Man", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ... it's all in the same pool to most of them.

Tori did the song in her own style, though. This is essentially a karaoke performance with live musicians.

Kurt Cobain must have had access to a time machine before his death. Now I can understand why he shot himself.

Wow, this could be the worst cover ever. She needs to stick to her teen pop shit.

Even if these kids knew the original, no one would know how bad she was doing with all the screaming.

Even though it's complete crap, it's a hell of a lot better than the original.
