There has never in the history of music, according to music experts, a worse cover version of a song than Celine Dion’s recent hit. The version of an old rock anthem has been dubbed as the worst in the world
A large group of experts have claimed recently that Celine Dion’s version of the heavy metal rock anthem AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long". I wonder if you could not find any two extremes in the music industry as Miss Dion and Australian long haired legends, AC/DC.

As ruled by radical journalists at magazine, Total Guitar, the whining version by the 40 year old Canadian songster said that the version was complete “sacrilege,” according to the rag’s Editor Stephen Lawson.

According to the panel, those which were said to be the best cover’s where Jimi Hendrix's take on Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower,” which happened to be top of the poll of best covers in a world were new music has dropped down the ranks and covers are the in thing, says Mr Lawson,

"Cover versions have never been bigger. Producer Mark Ronson became a household name on the back of his quirky covers album, with Amy Winehouse's version of Valerie outselling The Zutons' original."


Miss Dion made the crowd cringe recently at a concert in Vegas with the dire cover. The gig, which was six years ago, thankfully was never released as a single.

    Sorry, never was a big AC/DC fan, but I think my daughter was, so will ask her for her opinion. Come on, if Rolf Harris can cover Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' , anything is possible, and acceptable
