Love It or Leave It: Slowed-Down Cover of Britney's "Gimme More"

January 14, 2008

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?

What about Mandy Moore's version of "Umbrella" it was pretty good.

She's trying to hard to be folksy and it makes it hard to understand what she's saying because of it.

Myeh, 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.

I like the different mix she gives to the song - it actually makes the lyrics seem a whole lot deeper.

I thought I wouldn't like it, because the song is really bad, but it actually sounds cool.

I 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.

She 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." :oy:

I don't like this version. What I like about the original is that it's upbeat and sassy. This isn't.

The 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.
