I Didn't Mean To Turn You On by Cherelle is the original, but I prefer the Robert Palmer version

Oh hell no



Cherelle's version goes so much harder.

Any song originally by a white person that someone black redid. Once they put some soul in it

I won't say it's better because the original is a hip hop classic, but the remake just adds a layer that the original doesn't have.

Monica & Usher version better

Cover/Remake:



His cover of Your Song is superior to Elton Johns too.

Everything about 'Strawberry 22' is just so Cali... y'all don't understand
