Diva Dion's AC/DC cover deemed worst ever: guitar mag

Céline Dion has a dubious distinction to add to her myriad awards and achievements: world's worst song cover, according to a popular European guitar magazine.

British-based Total Guitar conducted a poll that named the French-Canadian singer's rendition of You Shook Me All Night Long the No. 1 "worst cover song," editor Stephen Lawson said, according to Agence France-Presse.

Performed about six years ago during her hit Las Vegas run, the diva's version of the classic AC/DC anthem was sung as a duet with U.S. pop singer Anastacia. The magazine dubbed the cover "sacrilege" and an "offence."

Other cover songs the magazine scoffed at include:

* British girl groups Sugababes and Girls Aloud performing Walk This Way, made famous by Aerosmith and Run DMC.
* British boy band Westlife's rendition of rock ballad More Than Words by Extreme.
* Pop Idol winner Will Young's version of Light My Fire by The Doors.
* Oasis hit Wonderwall as performed by easy-listening lounge act The Mike Flowers Pops.

Flops aside, the poll also highlighted a handful of the most successful song tributes.

"The best covers are unlikely choices and they do something radical," Lawson said.

Electric-guitar legend Jimi Hendrix's version of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower came in first, followed by the Beatles version of Twist and Shout — originally recorded by U.S. R&B group The Top Notes.

Rounding out the best five were:

* The Guns N' Roses cover of Live and Let Die, by Paul McCartney and Wings.
* Nirvana's rendition of David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World.
* British rock band Muse's version of Feeling Good, written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint — the Smell of the Crowd.

Total Guitar, touted as the bestselling guitar magazine in Europe, is known for regularly carrying tablatures (guitar-music notations) of popular music, reviews of guitar equipment and interviews with prominent guitarists.

And on an unrelated matter, why do 99.9% of French Canadian women sound like "Beaker" from the muppets when they talk?



Mimimimimimi, mi mi, mi mi mi mi meeeeee.

There is a bit of a resemblance between Celine and Beaker also.

Voice or looks .... or both?

[Phlyer]

Both, no question.

I heard this blasphemy on the radio at work today, so I left early to rush to Avcanada to state my case.

Celine Dion, and that particular cover song are FUCKING AWESOME!!! No matter what some British two-bit rag may wish to opine.

I have already sent an email of protest to Total Guitar. I urge all of you to do the same.
