An MP3 blog dedicated to cover songs, good and bad.
liza.copyright @ gmail.com
See my helpful list of Disclaimers and Reminders after the Blog Roll and Other Links.
1. MP3s on this blog are available for a short time and are here for sampling purposes only. My only goal is to share my love/hate relationship with cover songs and to turn readers on to artists of whom they might not have otherwise been aware. If you are the creator or copyright owner of a song or anything else that might be posted here, please CONTACT ME by sending an e-mail (see above) if you wish to have it removed.
2. PLEASE don't direct link to any individual tracks. If you like an artist you hear here (either the original artist or the one performing the cover), you should definitely do your best to take the knowledge you gain here and go out and BUY THEIR ALBUMS.
3. I very rarely, if ever, repost songs. If you missed something, I apologize, but I get lots of e-mails from people asking me to repost things. If I actually reposted all the tracks people wanted me to, I'd never get a chance to post anything new. That said, if there is A TRACK OR TWO you feel you desperately need, feel free to drop me a line at liza.copyright @ gmail.com (sans spaces) and I'll do my best to get it to you. But please keep in mind that it might not be instantaneous, as I get approximately 600 e-mails a week.
4. If you read my updates via an RSS feed aggregator or via a LiveJournal feed, there will be times when old posts will suddenly appear with non-working links, which happens as a result of my going back to an older entry to remove the links or to update or edit the post in any way. Again, I apologize if you missed these posts initially, but I cannot repost the songs. Lately I've been keeping songs up for two weeks to a month and I feel that should be plenty of time for you to get the songs. If you don't read your feeds often and regularly miss tracks, I suggest you bookmark the site and check it once a week or so.
5. I do not generally take requests nor do I guarantee that songs submitted to me will appear here. You're welcome to send me a track or two, but it might not hit the blog. Also, I get LOTS of e-mail so submissions sent via sites like YouSendIt or Dropload.com often expire by the time I get to them. Please attach your files to the actual e-mail if you want to ensure I get it. Similarly, I'd really appreciate it if those of you sending MP3s to my inbox would check to see whether or not I've already posted the tracks first. There is a search bar in the upper left corner of the site that should assist you in said endeavor. Granted, chances are good that even if I've not posted it, I already have it, but at least there's a chance I don't.
6. If you're looking for a few suggestions on beginning your own cover hunts, here is an old entry that might prove helpful.
7. If you are a member or agent of a band, please keep in mind that I ONLY POST COVER SONGS. Similarly, I do not "review" albums. I will most likely delete and ignore any communication from you that shows you do not understand this.
Thanks for listening,
Liza.

I'd never heard of Amy Winehouse before so was quite surprised to see here described as “one of the U.K.'s flagship vocalists during the 2000s” when I looked her up on allmusic. South Africa usually follows British music trends and I would expect to have heard of her before, but clearly she hasn't been promoted here at all.
As for the song, I actually like it. I didn't recognise Charlotte Church until the credits ran but as her vocals were pretty good I assumed she wasn't Amy. She has put on a fair bit of weight since last year when I saw her interviewed for an SA TV programme. I have long been a fan of punk music so Amy's vocals sounded pretty good to me but I can see how someone without a love for punk music might disagree. My biggest problem while watching this was to keep an image of Weird Al Yankovic in a fat suit out of my head.
I believe Charlotte Church was pregnant at the time this was filmed, which would perhaps explain her size. Not that she looked at all fat enough for the Weird Al fat-suit comparison even if she weren't. God forbid a woman's body not meet your requirements!
that poor girl... that poor, drunk, kinda slutty, talentless girl...
i heard her on NPR once, and she sounded so nice and cool - her music was beautiful. wtf happend? some sort of smacking with a drunk stick?
"and their words are really clear"? Well, at least Charlotte's are....
Don't understand why, of all people, the US has suddenly found love with Amy Winehouse in the past couple of years. In my opinion she's one of the most disgusting things to come out of our country in quite some time. She had a huge amount of success with her first album, but like Joss Stone's success, it doesn't make sense. People just lap up crap these days it seems.
Glad you lot have her for a while.
Can't stand Charlotte Church either, so this is probably the worst combo I've had the pleasure of seeing in quite some time. Thanks.
I've noticed on quite a few American blogs that you've also taken a bit of a liking to her. You nutters.
Ah yes, I had not heard about Ms. Church's pregnancy.
Lobstar, you misunderstood me; my comment about Weird Al in a fat suit was in now way a reference to Ms.Church's appearance, but a reference to my recalling Weird-Al's performance in one of his music videos from the 1980s. I thought it was for Eat It, but having watched that video and the one for Fat, I realise my mind was playing tricks on me; it was the video for Fat I was thinking of.
Steve-
Yeah, I was confused. Partially because I never quite understand why people feel the need to point out when a woman (or anyone) gains a tiny bit of weight. Then seeing the Weird Al fat-suit comment when he didn't even wear it for "Eat It" confused me and I assumed it was a continuation of the unnecessary discussion of Charlotte's size. No worries.
Smokin' band.
so, basically the house band from american idol and some karaoke singers back up parker posey while she does a character... at least, that's how it plays for me. if you're not going to dance while you're singing it, what's the point of singing it at all? always one of wacko jacko's weaker efforts.
Terrible, I switched it off.
I had never heard of Winehouse until they started ripping her apart on Sound Opinions.
The backing band in this clip is right on. That guitar player smoked the solo (originally played by Eddie Van Halen). Well done, sir.
charlotte church was not preggers at all when this was done. and amy winehouse - back to black is possibly the finest album by a lady since lauren hill back in the late 90s.
Amy Winehouse is to soul music as george w bush is to the presidency-
sound and fury signifying nothing. she's just "This Year's Model".
And it's heartening to see that she's turning into the female Pete Doherty.
Feh
Yeah, I had to turn that sucker off like mick in the uk did. A couple of her songs do sound really good turned up in the car, though.
I love it when the term "train wreck" is used. You know you are in for a treat :)
