Kanye “singing” Bohemian Rhapsody sounds like a 13 year old kid that got drunk for the first time and picked the hardest song he could find in the karaoke book.
Fuel by Avril Lavigne was performed at MTV Icon Metallica - and Metallica and the audience actually liked it... It's worth watching the whole show - great covers. Especially from Korn & Limp Bizkit
@@Russell101 Yeah, I actually didn't think I could cringe harder than I did from the Kanye cover of Bohemian Rhapsody until I heard the Under The Bridge Cover.... I threw up in my mouth for that one... Something about Fuel at half speed makes me sick, too.
I thought that too but the other possibility that crossed my mind was Brendon Urie's cover as that had a fair bit of backlash too despite his being pretty good
If I remember it right, it was a concert in the UK. Calling himself the greatest rock star on the planet. Screwing up the Bohemian Rhapsody. In Britain!
@@SeriousSirius How comes, that he is still alive? I am a big fan of Freddie, guess who I don't like so much. OK, at least he should not be allowed to come to the UK anymore.
Theres literally footage of the actual band that recorded the song rocking out in the crowd to the 'fuel' cover by Avril Lavigne.... it can't be THAT bad.
No, I'd still give it to Shatner, just for a different song, "Iron Man" was one of his better ones. There was "Space Oddity", "Bohemian Rhapsody", really anythng off that "Major Tom" covers album.
I think Kanye just wanted to get the crowd singing and coming together, if he didn't sing everything would be fine, he should have just let the audience sing
Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne and All Saints did a great job. Just because they're coming from a different genre doesn't automatically make them "terrible".
Absolutely agree! Though I wasn't the biggest fan of Avril Lavigne, and I remember in that same show Korn buttchered "One", I remember thinking Avril wasn't that bad!
@@TheRealRaditz9001 I would literally pay to see Miley sing cannibal corpse!! She clearly doesn't know the difference between grunge and 80's hair metal. She might do tomb of the mutilated in bluegrass style, lol
Actually, I Love Rock and Roll wasn’t originally made by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (Even Though I love their version), it was originally by a British band called The Arrows in 1975.
Yeah but pop singers like Britney etc. always steal. They can't invent their own music so they copy on metal. I've heard enough terrible covers to say this
Sea Level Cain lol but Kanye revolutionizes the rap genre with every album he drops, the guy is comparable with Bowie for how much influence he holds in his genre. One bad performance of a song that he can never perform live properly (because it isn't his genre) isn't a fair representation of his talent, and thats coming from a guy who was raised on The Beatles, Zeppelin and David Bowie.
i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this. sure, it wasn't as energetic as the original, but it was pretty solid. i think people just didn't like it because it's Avril, because she's popular to hate. if you're a hated artist, it doesn't matter how good of an artist you are, you'll still be put on top worst lists.
@@ImEverytingPeopleHate agreed 100% she did a great honour to them IMO. Showed people she is more talented than she lets on. Same with the limp biskit cover of sanitarium,it was the only original cover in that whole ICON presentation
@@frodosfrostbite yeah, true, Limp Bizkit did a good cover too, but y'know, because people don't like Limp Bizkit, people also don't like that cover. really, every artist on the Metallica Icon tribute show knocked it out of the park, but, because some of those artists are hated, nobody gives them credit. even Korn, who usually are pretty rough live did One justice too.
It was by it'd be weird for a female to sing as a male, alot of people do it in covers so that they're more comfortable singing the song but yeah it's still ignorant
@@larrywhitted7333 No I checked and everything. He actually even hit the A4-A#4s. Pitch of course wobbled, at the beginning and he resigned to his rapping/speaking voice at some other parts, but the pitch was actually the most passable part of this mess. His nasality, lack of good breath support, and tension and hesitation all contributed to how unappealing his voice came out
I was scared when they mentioned the Black Sabbath classic, Iron Man since they were going to mention a bad cover of that amazing song and I got even more freaked out when I saw what the cover was lol😂
Funny thing is he got the lyrics wrong I can imagine him in the back talking to his manager: aaayo men i'm gonna sing bohemian rhapsody. Manager: aight cool did you learn the lyrics? Kanye: naaa fool i'm a rock star i can totally ace this . Proceeds to fuck up with wrong lyrics and vocals sounding flatter then my bike's tire
Even the Muppets couldn't screw up Bohemian Rhapsody. God knows, they tried. The Muppet way. Freddie would of love it. Bet Freddie would of loved Animal in the Muppet version. He sang one word three times and it was sweet. You knew Animal meant it.

How I describe each Celine Dion: Something my mom would do in karaoke, but still good Kanye: No. Just Please No. All Saints: Typical girl group Limp Bizkit: A for Effort Miley: Maybe for her fans Now instead of back then Hillary Duff: Bad audio Britney Spears: Just NO Avril Lavigne: Giving credit where credit is due 5S0S: Pretty Good Williams Shattner: Not bad for an episode of Star Trek
The 5sos one needs a little context. They censored "fuck" out of the song, which destroys the message green Day tried to give the song. If you wanna cover a punk or poppunk band, you can't just cover the music, but also the mindset
@@AguilarSquared Hang on.. from the entirity of that set of covers they picked Fuel, but ignored the horrendous Sad But True cover by Snoop? At least Avril could sing Fuel..
I feel like the biggest issue with her attempt at covering it is that her voice doesn't have the same gritty sort of effect of Brian Johnson's that gives the song its identity
This video just so happens to be the video which introduced me to TOOL, which is now my favourite band. I am really thankful that I now know about their existence. I now listen to them every day, and appreciate the art of music a lot more, thanks to this video. I am aware that it's not a conventional manner to discover a new band from a video about terrible cover songs (frankly, I agree that Limp Bizkit's cover of Opiate which was featured in this video isn't so great), but I'm grateful. Thank you for making this video, Loudwire. :)
Yeah and thats why every kanye album for the last 18 years has gone platinum. Because he is a genius musician overshadowed by his dumb antics and controversial moments
@@gavatundejr4986 In my opinion more like because that's what passes for music for the majority of the younger generations. Great artists/bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and even some from the 90's are immortal. Most garbage from the '00 and '10 will be cast in oblivion in the next 10 years. But as i started by saying, that's my opinion.
@@heimdallcvl literal boomer. Kanye is an asshole, I admit. But he has some classic rap albums. Also, the 1970’s? That decade was (overall) SHIT. Want me to bring up Disco? I’d pick the 2000’s and 2010’s over the fucking 1970’s any day.
@@oldpotatoman4838 its just taste man you cant say a decade of music is shit and a decade of music is gold but you cant tell me that real music isnt 1970s but 2010s you may like fake sounds and no talents over geniune music but you cant say it requires more talent
no one should ever cover bohemian rhapsody, smells like teen spirt, american idiot, and under the bridge. those songs are iconic btw avrils (idk how to spell her name) was actually good, you could see kirk enjoying it
Ca Chugga Well, to be fair, she kind of helped create pop-star stereotypes. They're bad stereotypes, but that's just my opinion. And I agree that her version was shit, but she'll still likely make more money on it than I could in the music industry, so fuck it.
It's not like the original Smells like is a good song. Nirvana was a cancer and the only good thing that came out of it was Weird Al's Smells like Nirvana. At least that one was fucking funny (and oh so true)
large_cat listen shit head, he's not paying tribute to someone he admires. He doesn't know the first thing about Queen's music, the fucking lyrics. He even fucked that up. Fuck Kanye

To be completely honest, the only one that was truly "terrible" was Kanye..
What about the rhcp
@@no-man4600 ikr
I completely agree! RHCP was a rearrangement, not a cover
Celine dion was atrocious right kidding
Celine Dione's was pretty awful too.
The Celine Dion cover wasn't bad but she clearly has the wrong style of vocals for an AC/DC song.
yea not enough screeching
Well, she's can't really pull that kind of screaming.. but yeah, it was actually not that bad
She the Chuck berry signature move, of course she is bad
Same with Fuel and Avril Lavigne. It's not that she did a bad job, just not the right type of voice for that song.
@@AguilarSquared Hang on.. from the entirity of that set of covers they picked Fuel, but ignored the horrendous Sad But True cover by Snoop? At least Avril could sing Fuel..
Okay I'm gonna give Celine Dion some credit because that foot work she did was impressive. And she's wearing high heels.
I feel like the biggest issue with her attempt at covering it is that her voice doesn't have the same gritty sort of effect of Brian Johnson's that gives the song its identity
@@genderqueercam as someone who dislikes brians vocals alot i gotta say that cover was pretty much easier to listen than the original.
Agree haha I think it wasn’t that bad of a cover for her. Doesn’t fit her but didn’t ruin it like Kanye did lol
hers wasnt that bad kanye straight up broke my heart
she immediately lost it for me when she started using her leg doing air guitar. other than that, just a completely wrong song for her to do.
It's strange how singing the chorus to Smells Like Teen Spirit caused her spine to start cutting out
Freddie: I see a little silloutte of a man
Everybody: it’s Kayne! It’s Kayne! Ruining your song
this comment is underrated
Very underrated
*Kyena. Not Kayne.

Mex uh yeahuh
You made me blow air with vocal force many times in succession. Have a like

@@dr.schuusch9142 you also saw the comment saying that
@@chrisXlr8r yes I did
kanyes cover of bohemian rhapsody is something i never wanna see again
Daniel Wickham ill not limme ur comment. keep it 666 XD
Daniel Wickham can't in see it now
This video just so happens to be the video which introduced me to TOOL, which is now my favourite band. I am really thankful that I now know about their existence. I now listen to them every day, and appreciate the art of music a lot more, thanks to this video. I am aware that it's not a conventional manner to discover a new band from a video about terrible cover songs (frankly, I agree that Limp Bizkit's cover of Opiate which was featured in this video isn't so great), but I'm grateful. Thank you for making this video, Loudwire. :)
Technically Joan Jett's "I love Rock N Roll" was a cover in itself since the song was originally done by the Arrows in the mid 70's.
Doesnt matter...britney cover ist ridiculous, looks more like and orgie than a concert...
People who aren't rockstars try to act like rockstars more than the actual rockstars.
That's because they want to look "rebel" "cool" but in the end...
Vane3345 They just look more ridiculous than they already did before
Big Smoke lmao ikr
Big Smoke OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!
They really have no idea the kind of lives these people lived back in the day.
I'm pretty sure Brittany doesn't love rock n roll.
Darth Cypher good one
Darth Cypher Ha!
Freddie turns over in his grave when he hears such devastated version of "Bohemian Rhapsody". That "performance" was a joke.
"A pop star's career lasts 18 months. A musician's lasts a lifetime."
- Peter Frampton
Yeah and thats why every kanye album for the last 18 years has gone platinum. Because he is a genius musician overshadowed by his dumb antics and controversial moments
@@gavatundejr4986 In my opinion more like because that's what passes for music for the majority of the younger generations. Great artists/bands from the 60's, 70's, 80's and even some from the 90's are immortal. Most garbage from the '00 and '10 will be cast in oblivion in the next 10 years. But as i started by saying, that's my opinion.
Ok boomer
@@heimdallcvl literal boomer. Kanye is an asshole, I admit. But he has some classic rap albums. Also, the 1970’s? That decade was (overall) SHIT. Want me to bring up Disco? I’d pick the 2000’s and 2010’s over the fucking 1970’s any day.
@@oldpotatoman4838 its just taste man you cant say a decade of music is shit and a decade of music is gold but you cant tell me that real music isnt 1970s but 2010s you may like fake sounds and no talents over geniune music but you cant say it requires more talent
Let’s just admire Celine Dion doing that move wearing high heels
Agreed. Can I just admire Celine Dion though
I don't know which is more ridiculous, that move or her cover of the song 😂
that was Anastasia. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Agreed 👍👍
@@Hnamte-ny4ig 😂
Kayne sounds like a 13 year old bugling through puberty.
‘It not a phase mom’
no one should ever cover bohemian rhapsody, smells like teen spirt, american idiot, and under the bridge. those songs are iconic
btw avrils (idk how to spell her name) was actually good, you could see kirk enjoying it
The Brittany spears part was so stereotypical for a pop star
That really was. It was taking every outdated, worthless "rocker" stereotype and making it even more of a cartoon.
Ca Chugga Well, to be fair, she kind of helped create pop-star stereotypes. They're bad stereotypes, but that's just my opinion. And I agree that her version was shit, but she'll still likely make more money on it than I could in the music industry, so fuck it.
BTW many of her music videos were directed by a former porn director. Considering her age at height of popularity, that's pretty fucked up.
Ca Chugga who is brittany spears never heard of her
Henri Köster Brittany spears is the annoying and unholy woman who you can hear on the fucking radio
Miley Cyrus covering Nirvana
Britney Spears covering Joan Jett
William Shatner covering Black Sabbath
WHY GOD WHY?
😭🔫
it hurts
Yeah, but the Shatner thing was meant to be funny. :)
That's a nice profile picture you got there.
:)
I actually thought Miley sounded alright. Just like, from an un-biased performance perspective
I thought you said "Terrible covers".
Man, these covers not only make you wish you were deaf, but they also take away your will to live.
Best comment!!
Fr
Tbh, not all of these covers are that bad, and I'd say the Iron Man cover is better than the original.
Only Kanye was terrible, Celine Dion is a great singer and Avril did a good job
Miley is a good singer
I think the main reason that the Opiate cover was weird was just that it was in a weird key
Then Fred Durst has been in a weird key his entire life and career I guess…
That song is about people like Fred durst.
That Kanye cover is just tragic..... Freddie put is heart and soul into writing that masterpiece then Kanye West came and took a shit all over it
That's why modern pop and hip hop music sucks I bet if Michael Jackson or Prince was still alive he would have pulled it better.
The Fugees did a decent version of Bohemian Rhapsody and Killin Me Softly.
Oh god the under the bridge cover made me wanna die
But I love how chill John is when RHCP preform it
THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI! yeah that wasn't even that good try at covering that song... it just sounded like pop bullshit trash lol
THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI!
I hate how they changed "she" to "he", even though it's referencing a fucking city
THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI! Me too. Who the hell were those chicks anyway? Why do I feel like I'm living under a rock?
I slit the vein on my dick after hearing it.
Uhh "Under The Bridge" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" covers were horrible 😣 that was a painful experience
Majestic Twelve did you miss boheamian rhapsody because that was just shit
The whole thing was painful.
smells like teen spirit bad at all
These covers made it excruciatingly painful that I almost punched my teacher in the face as she was walking by.
It's not like the original Smells like is a good song. Nirvana was a cancer and the only good thing that came out of it was Weird Al's Smells like Nirvana. At least that one was fucking funny (and oh so true)
I'm surprised there's no 'Take That' and their cover of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'! They get the words wrong/change them too.
Celine Dion jumping on one leg in high heels was impressive
So cringe
God it looks like someone's mom just walked in her son's room
She look like a chicken escaping the bucther pn one leg while having a seizure
lmao it was so bad but impressive
420th like, reflective of your comment
kanye deserves to be in prison for that
stefan marinkovic Or being tortured... for years..... in a dark and cold cave....... oh god I want this so bad
I actually liked this before I heard Kanye
JSF Based Data Science Tools In my opinion Kanye was the worst of all but I respect your opinion
smol eagle I don't hate Kanye at all, he is doing his own business, i just think that with his talent he could be much more than he is now
Csaba Finta well he probably could, i just don't like him as a person. I don't really like pop/rap (idk what) music too much. Have a nice day tho😊
Kurt : "I feel stupid and contagious"
Everyone : _Headbangs and goes crazy_
Miley: "I feel stupid and contagious"
Everyone : "then stay away lmao"

idk if it’s just because i’m a tool fan but limp bizkit’s opiate hurts me
All saints murdered under the bridge worst cover ever
Spencer Sedgwick
True but I could mute it and watch that blonde sing all day long. 👄👀
They tried to make it into a pop song soaked with the sounds of everything from 1999 put together and made it sound horrible lol
That song to the beach was class tho
Kanye: Mama. I just killed this song..."
Sounds really Bad already man.
I think ,my ears are bleeding after hearing those covers. Especially Bohemian rhapsody. HOW DARE THAT MAN DISRESPECT FREDDIE.
Abby Brosnan it wasn't disrespectful, it was a tribute. Jesus Christ man he didn't fuckin spit on Freddie's grave. you just hate Kanye West
large_cat I hate him too and after he butchered a classic song I want him to die the same way Cliff died only more gruesome
the Mad Titan Thanos ?
large_cat listen shit head, he's not paying tribute to someone he admires. He doesn't know the first thing about Queen's music, the fucking lyrics. He even fucked that up. Fuck Kanye
where's Machine Gun Kelly singing Aerials by System Of A Down
5 years in the future after this list was made. 😂
Celine's cover wasn't bad, her voice is just too clean.
Same thing with the RHCP
On her best night it feels like someone crapping in my ears when she sings. But i am not a fan, in case you missed that.
@@rodx5571 Okay?
and i think she tried a bit too hard to give it the same energy as Brian
i prefer the two first covers because i never get Brian Johnson voice and The saints are actually pretty good, way better voice than kiedis
Everytime I see Kanye's a little bit of my soul dies
Sorry about that
@@D0M0C0RE 😂😭
Kanye wants to be greater than the beatles and now queen bruh
@@hi-am-pat2k176 he can try Lol
@@hi-am-pat2k176 pretty sure he said in one of his songs he said he doesn't want to be a black beatle because then he'd be a fucking roach
4:50 this is no where near the worst cover from this performance. Snoop Dogg’s take on Sad But True was just frankly terrible.
I’m honestly impressed by Celine Dion pulling off a duck walk in heels
Her cover wasn't bad either it's just a different genre and not the usual taste for us
fair
