      Britney's was the worst, because of the way it was publicized. At least Miley has always shown she is a bit rebellious, edgy or whatever you want, so doing that cover was not that out of place.

      Given just how many global records the Beatles still hold in recording, music, composing, and many other artistic areas, I wonder why, if their music is so "mediocre" as you believe, then why are their songs the most covered in history, and by many music styles?
      I suppose in your case the "ignorance is bliss" argument applies, but for those of us who grew up with them and learned to play their music, we'll always have the same view as much of the rest of the world does.

If someone doesn't like their style, that's fair, but that's a comment on the artist in general and not on the cover version of the specific song - which is not actually that far from the original in this case. It certainly does not belong on this list - its presence here betrays the list compiler just not liking them as artists.
      Some of the others, however, despite being huge artists on many of their performances, just destroy the originals listed here completely, and earn their place with ease.

      I didn't think it was that bad either. American Pie by Madonna was way worse.

      Sketch Onomadek yeah just seems like they wanted to find an easy target and targeting two actresses would be that. That cover seem perfectly fine to me I don't know if they're expecting the duff sisters to add intricate new layers to the song or something

      I haven't heard the whole song; just the clips here. But honestly that one didn't sound half bad. Hilary is about the only girl affiliated with Disney from a young age who didn't end up as a drug addict lawbreaker surrounded by controversy and scandal, so she has my respect for that alone.

    Disagree on the #1, Britney's rendition of Satisfaction isn't the worst by far; Macy Gray's "Walk this way" could have been #1, but then again, also same for: Hillary & Haylie Duff's "Out lips are Sealed", as they really didn't do that any justice in their singing of it vs The Go-Go's original rocked; (& Hillary's version of other songs are equally bad); Miley trying to do a Beetle song, as it's said,.."don't do it"; Among the very worst, (IMO) has to be the 10 yr old Aaron Carter doing creepy singing of "Crush on You", as it's just so VERY wrong. & then comes Ashley Tisdale's ruinous version of 'Never Gonna Give You Up" from Rick Astley. equally so Very wrong. WIlliam Shatner's "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds" really should have taken the #1 spot..for how HORRIBLY bad that was,.. & he sounds like he was likely on something for how awful it was..
