You should sing "You're so vain" by Carly Simon or "Why" by the Eurthymics. I think these match your voice well. I love Eva Cassidy's version of Somewhere over the Rainbow.
is there an "official" version for this song... I mean a B-side from a single from her???? I mean I'd like to know if she OFFICIALLY covered this song...
REALLY GUYS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?AM I ALONE HERE OR WHAT? really nothing personal, if the cover were good I would be the first one admiting it.. but it' s crap! the only 2 good versions of this song I ever heard (and I've heard already Kovenant cover too) are both from.. Bab Zoo. the original demo one, and the edited one. this is just all messed up, sounds like crap, its no longer Spaceman, just killed the whole song concept.
honey, just keep on doing your thing, and let Bab Zoo do what they do best with their songs, really. don't mess with it, or you'll have to mess with me, you just assassinate an amazing song. you don't kill things you love. I love it and I'm not gonna play smart as*. I'm getting sick listening to this. jeezz..gonna listen some Bab Zoo real stuff to get cured bye bye

I would love to sniff her toes after shes been out on a hot day. Suck them and tickle her pink sweaty delicous soles and watch her toes wriggle with pleasure.
Flumand rodas, do you feel better now? Please note that some of us in the US are quite embarrassed by how much INTERNATIONAL attention poplets such as Britney and Cristina get. Yuck. Sorry about that. But that doesn't mean there's no talent here in the states. We're overflowing. So get over your bad self and get back to just enjoying the songs.
My greatest apologies, I omitted a former, it is with great shame that I must admit my lack of knowledge, concerning the current geo-polotical situation in the central asian area.
Although my point was totally missed, since the ignorant american thought she was from Georgia (as in Atlanta).
EXACTLY, THAT'S what I'm talking about. now an amazing number 1 (for a good reason this time) in the uk CHARTS lasting long song is being called "horrible" here, because of stupid Katie Melua cover..
SHE'S FROM stupid planet were people think they can pick on a song they like (or say they like) and ruin it just because she wishes the song was hers because she will never be able to create a masterpiece like SPACEMAN FROM BABYLON ZOO
oh jesus christ! I thought no one knows this group and that it is considered as lame! well we have something in common with Katie >:] (first step to marriage)
hehe i clicked on this thinking it was that other song...the electro one with the high pitched woman going sppppaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccee maaannn - oh w8 it is! but shes doin it sooooooo wrong!!!!!!
Me liking one song better than another doesn't mean I don't listen to a lot of music. It doesn't mean I'm wrong or anything down that road. It's just an opinion.
If it's just an opinion then don't say "this is better", rather say what you prefer or not, be subjective and don't try to apply your opinion as if it was the common truth. That's the stupid thing.
The original version is totally different and Katie's cover isn't faithful to the idea and feeling of this song. If you actually listen to a lot of diverse music you might appreciate this shade.
"This is better" seems equal to "I prefer this one". Everone should understand it's nothing but my opinion. But alright, I see your point. They are very different, but I guess I just like this calmer style better. To me it doesn't matter if it's true to the original feeling of the song, since I heard this first.
no, I'll have to agree with Antares.(like, duh, course) saying "katie version is so much better" is making an objective statement like an universal truth despite of your own subjective opinion, and thats wrong. but of course that in an extended way we get you subjective and personal point. anyway I just have to cool down because it's a free world and that is a great thing, people like different thing,altough reading to that "is much better" stat. really hurts my feelings a lot..
finally hi my friend :D (friend of my friends my friend too XD). you know what, they don't understand, they wont get it, forgive them Father they don't know what they're listening too..
really? think again. BAD, BAD CHOICE OF WORD. have you ever heard Bab Zoo original/edited version? because that version is THE VERY DEFINITION OF COOL. and this one.. the very definition of the opposite.
@Gielio1993 I respect the fact that people like Katie, actually I didn't use to have anything against her, she looks sweet, her music in general for me is not appealing but that's just my taste, I'm not saying with that that I just listen to rock, at all, I listen to lot of calmer stuff, just don't love Katie style, anyway I just expressed that in this particular case cause "she ruined" an amazing song from a band I love, therefore I found hard not being rush on this one,sorry...
I remember when I heard this at her concert. We were trying to work out what song it was then when the "Space man" chorus kicked in we just thought Genius!
I'm not even putting in question her voice or sweetness, talent or whatever. I'm questioning what she did to 1 of the most amazing indie rock songs ever with this sad version..
With all my respect to Katie Melua, she's a "heretic" doing this cover, as she's not keeping the real feeling from this song..making it so absurdilly happy.
lol. exactly. and it is a sad happiness in the end. but I totaly see your point.looool you're so damn righ I didn't even saw it that way: she's singing "it's time to terminate the great white world" in such a happy, positive tone, playing, is just ridiculous, not even sadic, just .. stupid lol. I', so laughin my guts out right now XD. Katie in Wonderland. Katie naive. let's sing for instance "friday I'm in love" by Cure" but in the way Nick Cave sings "Where the Wild Roses Grow" XD
she's veeeeeery nice.
