I remember not liking them in concert and this video performance cover I found on youtube confirms why! She should stick to butchering her own songs.

I don't need to see it, I already know they suck. The funny thing is they also talk shit about how everyone else sucks, which makes them suck even harder!

Hoodie, you really need to hear the vocals on this thing. Among some of the worst I've ever heard.

I didn't make it to the end.. as soon as she started 'singing' "Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness..." - I just had to shut down my browser...

Didn't need to watch it to know how bad it is, but then again you can't do anything good with a smashing pumpkins song anyways ... strangely I really liked Evanescene's cover of "Thoughtless" originally by Korn.

Yeah, Pumpkins songs are so unique and Billy's voice is so distinctive, that it really is hard to do much with their songs. That's why most bands don't try to cover them. I'm sure if a band tried to totally change it up, they could do something with it. But playing it exactly like the original isn't gonna do anything.
