Advantages: Raw talent

Disadvantages: none

Another great installment from Radio one's Live Lounge. Always an interesting compilation as the artists get to choose another bands / solo artists song and cover it. Some are great and even better than the originals for example look at the sucess Amy Winehouse had with 'Valerie'. I think it is a very interesting album, not unlike the two previously. It takes the artist outside their comfort zone as they sing another's song and try to make it their own, it's great to hear what they can do to it. My favorites personally are the accoustic versions as they really have a raw sound about them and it is a real chance to hear the artists raw talent as opposed to the studio, 'pollished' version we get normally. There is a range of different characters on this version, from Dizzee Rascal to the Foo Fighters, to the streets and Pendulum, there really is something for everyone and I often find you end up becoming a fan of the most unlikely of the bunch!

Summary: Interesting as always!
