I'm including 3 versions of the song: Rihanna's original version, Jamie Cullum's cover, and Tiffany's (shortened) karaoke version (at the Dam Site Inn in Hell, Michigan). I hope at the very least these songs make you get up and dance.

Please Don't Stop the Covers.
A few days ago I was searching for a ringtone, and hoped to find something by Jamie Cullum, one of my favorite contemporary jazz singers. I was surprised when I kept seeing "Jamie Cullum, Please Don't Stop the Music." I know that song pretty well (it's one of my favorite songs my friend Tiffany sings at karaoke), and it just didn't seem like a song Jamie Cullum would be singing. Turns out, Jamie covers Rihanna really well! In my opinion, that is. Which of these two versions do you prefer?

I really liked that cover! And wow, Tiffany is good. She's the karaoke queen. I usually enjoy covers. I like hearing new interpretations of old songs. :)
Well I can't choose myself, of course. And I can't be dissin` my girl Rihanna! But I have to admit, that guy Jamie Cullum sure does an interesting interpretation of this song! And I mean that in a good way. He was totally rockin that piano solo! ;-)
I like all of the versions. When Jamie sings it, it's like it is a completely different song. And of course Tiffany is rockin'.
