That was awesome. Don't know anything about her, but she just crushes that.

Ok at best, voice live doesn't "have it".

It’s a staple for visiting bands.
Springsteen with Vedder.

The Killers gave us some INXS.

She has real "stripper doing karaoke" energy.

Really awkward setup in the middle with no amps or staging...just looks like a bunch of people standing around in a living room or something.

If AC/DC needs to be covered, could we please stop covering the completely played out HtH? They have a large catalogue of way better songs for fucks sakes.

Damn. That was way better than I expected.

Skid Row needs to give her a call.

It was okay, but I wouldn't go crazy about it being THAT good. I'm OK with pop artists throwing in some rock covers. Carrie Underwood has done this with Welcome To The Jungle, and it was fine on YouTube.

Not bad considering they probably learned it at soundcheck.Her pop stuff is a guilty pleasure of mine No denying she has some serious pipes though...

Didnt like it. The way she phrased the vocal lines were too rigid. Vocals were too clean. No feel for the song at all She didn't sound like she was having any fun with a song that is all about just letting go and rocking out.

It was like an episode of American Idol where the show picks the artist that each one has to do a song from, and most aren't happy with it.
As already said here, serviceable and sterile really are the best words for it. Not the best words to describe an AC/DC cover.

She's definitely a better singer than her own music would indicate..
She, and especially her band, are clearly having fun.
You can listen to my two albums here.... Sludge away, fuckers!
