To celebrate the fact that they performed their cover of Lorde's 'Green Light' during their set at Brixton O2 Academy last night, I thought I'd throw back to the best covers that they've released in the past few years.
5) 'Umbrella' by Rihanna
4) 'Alejandro' by Lady Gaga
3) 'True Colours' by Cyndi Lauper
2) 'Green Light' by Lorde
1) 'Hands To Myself' by Selena Gomez
Nothing can beat this cover. I love the original, but I think it works wonderfully with a male vocal.
Do you agree with my choices, or would you make a different top five? Leave your choices in the comments!
5) 'Umbrella' by Rihanna
It's been almost ten years since this cover appeared on 'Punk Goes Crunk', but it's still brilliant.
4) 'Alejandro' by Lady Gaga
The original version always annoys me, but I can listen to this one for hours: it's so relaxing, and suits Alex's voice perfectly.
3) 'True Colours' by Cyndi Lauper
This cover still brings a tear to my eye. Utterly beautiful.
2) 'Green Light' by Lorde
I had goosebumps when I first heard Lorde's comeback single: it's unlike any other pop song, which made it all the more surprising when it took the world by storm. I still can't believe I managed to hear them play this live: it was so much fun, and the crowd couldn't stop dancing!
