I haven't heard it, but it scares me. I don't like it when most people cover Heart classics. There is only one Ann Wilson and she tore it up.

Dont mess with classics by the greats!
Noone will ever do it justice. Ann is a goddess.

I completely disagree. I am a huge fan of Heart; bought all their albums in the late 70s and saw them in concert several times. However, I don't think any song should be sacrosanct. I'm not saying it can't fail; that would be possible regardless of the material. I just think any song should be open to reinterpretation.

Actually, let me correct myself. I think it takes a certain kind of voice to pull off a Heart song. I think Carrie Underwood did a good job with Alone. Gretchen Wilson can absolutely tear up just about any Heart song there is (and I usually can't stand her!) I just cringe when I think of Cheno, with her operatic soprano, singing Alone. I am sure she will surprise me.

And as far as covering HEART is concerned: it's one thing to cover "Alone", it would be A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING to cover "Crazy On You", "Barracuda", "Dog & Butterfly" or "Dreamboat Annie". Some things just should not be touched. "Alone" is not one of those things, particularly since most people under 30 are probably more familiar with the Celine/Carrie or AI versions than the original.
