On Monday, a reminder to give covers a chance because often songs are completely different in the hands of new artists. After the initial love affair, like the rest of America, I grew weary of Beyonce's 2008 sensation "Single Ladies," which pretty much defined an entire year in pop music. I mean, it was everywhere. (The tipping point was definitely Liza Minelli's version in Sex & the City 2. So, so bad. But Liza can do anything.)
Sara Bareilles's version is actually nice to listen to, because her voice is nice to listen to. When she says she'll be a ghost, gone, if she doesn't get that ring -- well damn, she's not playing around. Plus there's a bonus interview at the end. Enjoy.
"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," performed by Sara Bareilles.
Original on Beyonce's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" (2008).
