Live with autotune.

Can't describe how much I hate people covering and ruining amazing original songs. Should not be allowed.

Bad covers are frustrating, but I love a good cover where an artist is able to highlight what's different about their approach to music and also pay a bit of respect to a songwriter they like

DEVO covering (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction is way up there for me. Loses the fuzzy guitar but the lyrics land better as an odd punk song than the whining of one of the biggest rock acts in the world.

My wife tells me she read a story once about NIN hearing Johnny Cash's version and saying something like "Whelp, I guess that is his song now".

Not sure of the authenticity of the comment, but dang JC does that song justice.
