"Under Pressure" cover by Keane

[UNCjigga]

This definitely belongs in that "Best Covers" thread, but I was wondering if anyone else got the new EP from Keane. "Under the Night Sky" has a cover of Bowie's "Under Pressure" that remains faithful to the original yet is also Keane at their best. While I enjoy the EP's title track, this cover is the real gem!

edit: wait...Bowie's version was a cover of a Queen song?

"Bowie's version" was a collaboration with Queen, not a cover.

Listened to it.

Decent cover, not the best of...didn't feel much emotion in it at all.

Meh, does sound a bit like Freddie Mercury in some parts. Ok I guess.

Technically it's fine, but there's no build of emotion, or any emotion at all.

[Spook]

I'll always love the original, but Keane did a good job covering it too.

Meh, the original is much better.

Not really a cover, but I think the Q-Unit mash-up is pretty good.

Surprisingly I like this quite a bit. Don't know why, but I do.

Decent, but not great.

I thought it was pretty good actually.

I like the original too, but I really like the My Chemical Romance version too.
