Here are three versions of the same song. The first one is the original by Joy Division, the second is a cover by Nouvelle Vague and the third is The Cure (with Lyrics).
I like the Nouvelle Vague version best but someone on YouTube had this to say:
"I really don't like it. The meaning of the song is not respected at all ; trying to turn a deep and heart-taking song into a futile and light pop song is obviously doing another - and much less talented- song. Moreover, her voice is quite commonplace, she got a coy way to play with her hand... This sounds ludicrous"
What do you think?

I say that it's a cover, and shouldn't have to be so brilliantly faithful. It sounds good, and brings pleasure to people so what's the problem? People like that are just trying to be "deep" and are stubborn.
Just my 2C
Yes, I agree. As long as the cover is recognizable it's fine to play with it a bit.
