The Pop Idol pap dont stop. Here are dates to remember not to see them

Feb 23 - Will - Pop Idol on ITV1 an hour advertisement promoting Wills single
Feb 25 - Will single Evergreen released. Even Westlife called the track weak, so weak it went on their album.
March 4 - Not sure whether it will be put back but its Rik Waller with a COVER of Whitney Houston and Dolly Parton song "I Will Always Love You".

but worse of all

March 18th - Gareth Gates releases "Unchained Melody". How many bloody versions of that song do we need. Its done by someone every two years.

Well, I've managed to miss all of pop idol so far. I've put those dates and times in my diary so I can miss those as well!

I have to agree on the "Unchained Melody" point, it really is getting beyond a joke.

I did a little research and found a website listing 669 different versions of "Unchained Melody". Make that 670 then soon...

And each one just as dull, 'Something Stupid' must have been covered shite loadsa times, i remember Mike and Alma Baldwin and Ali Cambell of UB40 and his daughter doing it in the same year.

Who recorded the original- that'll be Radio 2 relic Jimmy Young

[Nablo.]

The most covered song of all time is "Yesterday"

[Jonny Hoare]

I'll think you'll find it's MY WAY, closely followed by Amazing grace

[Uglybob]

sorta both right

Yesterday is the most performed record ie concerts/b sides etc but jonny is correct about the most covers
