Like I said in my first post I like it when cover songs aren't exact remakes of the original songs and instead bring in the personal style of the artist who does the cover. But the arrangements on "Color The Cover" are just far away from being great. Like I said, they are plain cheap and trashy.

She's not disrespecting the artists though, and if they felt she was, they never would have agreed to letting her cover the songs (huge media problems etc.)
She's taking the songs and making them her own, in her own way, and updating it.
So basically, what you're trying to say is that in your opinion, you don't like that the covers sound so different from the original source. That's ok to voice your opinion, but I feel that there's a nicer way of saying things instead of just calling something outright trash because it goes against your idea of what a cover is.
I'm not trying to m ake a problem or start anything, I just had to get this off my chest. I mean...everyone who has covered Pink Spider has covered it as a rock song, she wanted to do something different. I know you said you were ok with that, but I feel that a lot of people has issues with the sound, so I'm addressing that too.
I repect your opinion, but I feel there is a better way of wording things.
I still have yet to check out the whole album lol. I'm so lazy...
