Rare
Its not often that an artist takes a song from another more acclaimed artist and turns it into something better. (Edit: better was the wrong word I admit) Remixes and covers happen all the time but never meet our approval.
But Mary J Blige really did take it to another level. Albeit with a little help from Bono and the Edge. Yes its been on the airwaves for a while now but lordy lordy...this one's a classic.

if its happy dancy covers you enjoy (as i have been recently:), get the cover of 'dreams' by the corrs (original by fleetwood mac). absolutely awesome.
some more covers that have been rocking recently
derek and the dominos- layla
another brick in the wall - marilyn manson
mazzy star - wild horses
barbara keith - all along the watchtower
Dude, yes it is a decent / very good / brilliant cover. But to say that it is better than the original is sacrilege.
Chitgo: thanks for the tips. I've heard all (the corrs one esp. I agree..heard that one live) except for manson..
Mr. First: I'm not saying its better, just saying its a completely new feel and sound which is fantastic. I think songs as good as these cannot be better or worse. Both are fantastic, although the Edge comes out much more in the Blige version. Edge is phenomenal.
Better was the wrong word :-)
23rd - 28th in Bengaluru.
