How dare Sugababes and Girls Aloud cover one of argubly the greatest songs of all time in Walk This Way, and worse it's set to make number 1 in the chart this Sunday, I understand the importance of the song but why this cover version? They have killed it. Do you agree with me on this poll?

The cover is shockingly poor.

Most charity singles are these days though!

Agreed, I think Aerosmith themselves have bettered it.

Its one of the worst covers they could have have picked, why did they not write 1 fir it, or at least choose a cover they might have pulled off <insert song here> , the only saving grace is that they look stunning in the vid, the song is mince.

Thye have murdered a rap classic, they should have stuck to something poppy, they might have pulled that off.

The word 'classic' is used far too often these days.

Do you really think they had any choice, in the song itself, or "artistically"? They do as they are told, they have no autonomy in what they produce, whether its for charity or for their own stuff.

I agree however, the use of classic i feel is justified in this case.

And people keep going on about the"original" - the original wasn't anywhere near as good as the Run DMC collaboration.

I weren't a great fan of the Aerosmith version, i feel the Run DMC collaboration was better.

Indeed, I have heard of Steps covers being referred to as 'classics', the really bad covers of Abba, The Bee Gees, etc.

Actually thats a fair point! It always makes me laugh having that at weddings! Kinda ironic! Meant to be happiest day off their lives and all that and they play tragedy!?

Yeah but Time of Your Life by Green Day was about splitting up and that was the most played song at weddings at one point.

that was the most played song anywhere at some point. baseball game? "time of your life" high school graduation? "time of your life" funeral? "time of your life" losing your virginity? "time of your life".
