This performer has copied I Was Made for Loving You by Kiss, Need You Tonight by INXS, Physical by Olivia Newton-John, and other songs from that era.

Metallica is the best though, when they go to foreign countries, they will perform a song from that country, like they did in Poland. They performed an instrumental version of Czesław Niemen’s ‘Sen o Warszawie’ (Dream of Warsaw), and in Moscow they covered a Kino song.

She made this cover as close to an exact replica of Fleetwood Mac as she could.

Nice tat...NOT. I'll never understand the peculiar fetish of pretty girls to uglify themselves.

Another Hamas supporter. No thanks.

Here's a far better cover of Fleetwood Mac "Dreams" from 1977. It's sung by the wonderful Lanie Gardner who has a lot of promise. She's using some soundtrack, so no musicians playing instruments...just her and her voice. Very emotive. She was 22 when she made this recording (but she looks like she's 16). Very expressive eyes and expressions, too.

Her YouTube hit led her signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville a year ago. That is a country music-focused imprint under BMG, which has supported releases like her track "Chasing The Wind" on the Twisters: The Album soundtrack and her sophomore album Faded Polaroids (September 2025).

Prior to this, she had signed with Republic Records in December 2020 following her viral "Dreams" cover, but she was later shelved and transitioned to BBR/BMG for her current country-rock direction.

Worth a listen.

The overbearingly loud bass drum beat ruined it, IMO.

[bigbob]

Fine, now do Tusk.

[voicereason]

Could be the recording quality, but doesn't sound like a great cover performance. One of the better covers IMHO was from the band Kobra and the Lotus: The Chain

[OrangeHoof]

Is Dua Lipa Latin for “lip synch”?

[sonova]

I think she’s a cool performer. And from what I saw elsewhere, seems a cool person. I don’t know about her politics, though.

[Albion Wilde]

Lacks the crisp definition and balls-to-the-wall quality of the original.

[RummyChick]

meh...

She looks like a $100 prostitute in Bahrain.

And I know what $100 prostitutes in Bahrain look like.

$175 will get her and her friend!

OMG I listened to this yesterday - she is phenomenal! I had nevwr thought to hear anyone being able to DUPLICATE (not closely), but truly EXACTLY like Stevie Nicks.

[Spacetrucker]

I was completely blown away by her sound. Not sure I could put into words just how beautiful she sounds.

[Celerity]

In highschool (92) I built a pretty bad ass stereo setup in my car. Like everyone did, really.

But after all that work others would load rap or something fun and bassy...

.. but not me. The first thing I played? Yeah. tusk. It was like I was there. I even convinced my music teacher and band leader to incorporate it into high school practices.

An incredible album.

But anyway, Dua Lipa is another in a long list of young and impressionable greedy little bitches who will do anything for a fat paycheck.

All of these women shamefully miss out on a powerful truth : they have the ability to sing. She has a great voice. But those idiots in the engineering booth and the executive offices have their own agenda that she is only a part of.

[NEMDF]

Do they have that bass cello part, like Fleetwood Mac’s? Thanks for the links.
