Cilla Black's US presence is so nonexistent that the hate for her doesn't resonate with me the way it does for many of the Brit posters... but I get it a whole lot more after seeing her butcher YLTLF like this

It’s true she is completely unknown on this side of The Pond, abd yes I DO hold that against any artist from either side (if you canna break through how good are you really?)

However, that is not why I gave her -6.  It’s not her song.  She’s singing karaoke, basically.  Anyone can do that.  I do not understand the fascination with reboots emerging on the U.K. charts (yes I’ve posted this comment at least twice - sorry but it amazes me), but there are only three reasons to cover a song: you are updating it with popular trends in instrumentation or style, you are completely remaking the song (turning a pop song into a metal tune for example), or mocking the song bc you thought it was terrible or people loving it was foolish and you’re pointing that out.  
Cilia is doing none of these; she is singing karaoke.

MINUS 6!!!!!!!!

 

Heres an acceptable cover song (reason 2, possibly some of 3 too, you could never tell with The Dickies)

Here’s another great cover reason 2 but also lo-fi so a bit of reason 1 in reverse

 

 

Anyway I hope you see the difference between these and karaoke.
