Smiles like teen spirit.

well, i watched a lot of"超级星光大道" recently, an Singing competition in Taiwan. ONe of the girl onces sang this classic song from Nirvana. Judges gave her a very high score and ...well, her voice was indeed pretty good. She made a new version of this song to be a slow and soft one.
Then i continue to check this song in youtube and found Tori Amos once did a cover of this as well. And it is the same as the girl sang in the competition.
So here comes a question. I don't like people do a cover for those very very classic and famous song. Especially a Rock song. Maybe doing a cover is still acceptable, cuz ppl love the good songs. BUt i cant accept that people make changes. I don't think the lyrics of SLTS is suitable to be a slow song...they made it as if it is a love song...OMG.
THe one who did it is Tori Amos. Another classic maker. But can see from the comments after the video. ppl feel angry about such changes. Even it is Tori Amos and i heard that Kurt himself actaully liked this slow version.

I don't know whether it should be like this.
Am I or are we over reacted?

know what, nowadays i feel everybody is saying they like rock N roll. they sang and did cover to show their love.
BUt they just kill the original songs.

well, i dunno how many people are thinking we killed good songs while watching our band performing...haha...that's a question...
