Back when Alanis Morissette covered Fergie's "My Humps," I thought it was funny. Now Australian pop star Sia has done a cover of Britney's "Gimme More", which comes to us via Underwire, and it actually makes me like the song a little more. Slowed down and made into a sweeter tune, Sia's song is less nightclub and more coffee shop. What do you think of this "Gimme More" — love it or leave it?

love Sia!! She rocks. That voice - so unique. Very clever to use Britney as 'inspiration'
1I love Marie Digby's version of it.
2Love Sia and Zero 7 so of course I like her version.I think she has a great voice.
3ha! i like it, but then again sia's voice makes me listen to anything and enjoy it.
4like sia's voice, but hate the song – original and cover
5Love Sia, but didn't really like the cover she sang.
6Don't what this woman is singing. I can't understand her. She sounds like a drunk duck.
7I like it, I think it would actually be good background music to Brit's life at the moment. She started out with such promise for a comeback, and it's just come crashing down and it's like this version represents the mess she's in. Hope she gets the help she needs!
8Only listenable once I think, which doesn't make it a good song to me. Her voice is interesting, but I think she's overdoing it a little bit.
9It's alright. I like how she slowed the music down. Very sexy. I don't know about the voice.
10While I usually love Sia's songs (Lentil and Playground) I don't care for this version.
11The chorus of this song (lyrically) is just rediculous so it doesn't really work there, but her vocals on the verses make the slightly skanky lyrics truly sexy. Love Sia.
12I don't like this version. What I like about the original is that it's upbeat and sassy. This isn't.
13I don't like Sia's version either.
14my gawd! her voice is absolutely terrible!
15No one can beat Darren Hayes' version of it.
16I love all three covers posted, and I hate the original..
17She oversings it... not a fan. But I'm surprised at all the covers that are coming out of this song. "Gimme More" is the new "Umbrella."
18And another eyeroll for me using the ________ is the new __________ expression.
19I don't know about this yet but I really like some of Sia's music. Everyone knows Breathe Me, but she has also some really fun upbeat songs. She has one song about a girlfriend who is tired of putting up with her boyfriend's crap and it's really fun. I'm excited to check out her new album. I honestly would probably not have realized this was Gimme More if I hadn't been told.
20I thought I wouldn't like it, because the song is really bad, but it actually sounds cool.
21no didn't like this one
22i don't like it! the best cover for gimme more is made by DavidChoi on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYWhfzwbivA !!!!!!
23I love Sia!
24i like sia...but this version just doesn't do it for me AT ALL!!!
good call jennifer76 and pipette 1110 on those covers.... i like david choi's...
however, alexlove...that darren hayes cover is SO FUN...he totally gets into it....thanks for sharing!
25I can't understand what she is saying LOL... I'll pass.
26I like the different mix she gives to the song - it actually makes the lyrics seem a whole lot deeper.
27Love Sia
28Interesting
29Myeh, leave it, but then I didn't like the Alanis cover or the acoustic "Umbrella" either, so this just really isn't my type of thing.
30She's trying to hard to be folksy and it makes it hard to understand what she's saying because of it.
31What about Mandy Moore's version of "Umbrella" it was pretty good.
32I like it, I wouldn't call it love but I like it more that the pop tart version
