No way! Squeeze SIA ‘Gimme More’ (Britney cover) into that list. Mystery Jets ‘Bleeding Love’ (Leona Lewis cover) as well! They are just so cool…

What I’m desperately needed is Daniel Merriweather covered LaRoux “In for The Kill” and heard Sugarland covered Kings of Leon “Use Somebody”… Sorry, I’m way too mainstream…. LOL
