Free Fallin Options

[Akirad1]

well i just heard the John Mayers version of Free Fallin.
and i was like wtf this is crap compared to the og, i like some of the remakes of the older songs like smooth criminal, beat it and stuff like that but he didnt do it justice.
sorry for the rant what you people think

heres the deal-
can john mayer ever do what tom petty ever did with that song...definetly not...ever
that being said he did manage to add his own stylings to it musically i.e. tempo rhythm and all the actual musical type stuff
even if you dont like the song you do have to admit that it is much more tastefully done than many other remakes of good songs...(like free fallin)
also it should be noted that when a big name like of music today (like john mayer) chooses to do a song from an older generation it is usually out of respect and admiration b/c that person thinks its good enough...i dont think john mayer should be put down for doing a remake but im also definetly not saying you should like the song
