I watched a bit tonight. The judges seem to like new interpretations of songs. It make me think of a couple that I thought were spectacular.

Janis Joplin sings the Bee Gees

Nina Simone sings Steppenwolf

Not in the same vein, but old Canucks might remember Jane Vasey from Downchild Blues band. Another girl that left way, way too young. God I wish I had a video cam back then -- this girl was something else. I saw Downchild more than any other band ever ... they kicked a$$! This isn't of course the entire band with Donnie.
