Following on from threads we have had here, I decided to make this one in honour of a classic pop song called About You Know. It is a Sugababes song & they had a massive hit with it in the UK. It got to number one & is very popular here. It was recently recorded by Miranda Cosgrove of iCarly fame.

You gotta decide who's is better?

Sugababes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPPgHlh1PVI

Or

Miranda Cosgrove: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElM3dmMQDQ8

Personally I think the second one sucks compared to the original. But that's my imo.

There is also a really neat acoustic version here if anyone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=328ZLGzq6Jk

LOL, probably Sugababes, even though I don't like this song at all. Miranda Cosgrove isn't a serious artist so hers is obviously not going to be better than the original. I actually know that she can sing though, in an episode of iCarly she sang part of Amazing Grace a cappella and she sounded pretty decent.

I don't think anyone should do a cover if you're not going to change it at all.
hahaha

I see no point in just doing a cover exactly the same way the original artist did it.


and I don't like Miranda's version anyways..
soo... the original.

Did the music video I posted for her work? I had to change it.

There another girl who I think is on iCarly who has a really neat voice.

For some reason Miranda changed the lyrics :S

lol, oh. I didn't notice.
It sounds still exactly like the original version..tempo/beat wise.

Yeah, it worked. And you're talking about Jennette Mccurdy who is recording her first album now on Capital Records Nashville. The songs she has out now are just demos that aren't very good, but I hear her album is going to be awesome. Well, if you like country music.

Yeah, she sounded great. I'll look out for that.

Yeah she has a great voice, I just don't care for the style. Jennette is also probably the most talented person on iCarly. Seeing her on the show and then in real life is like night and day. She could land some pretty nice acting gigs if she wanted to. Miranda can act too, I mean we all remember Summer. I think she might do something after iCarly.

No. They are taking a pretty long break from filming, but they have enough episodes to last the rest of the year. I believe they start filming the third season after the break. For some reason, season two has like 45 episodes in it, so after two seasons they will have a total of 70 episodes lol.

Both are kinda weird. I think Miranda's is better, though. It's more upbeat. xD

Yeah, I don't dig this song. I'm not sure how it's so popular.

It was crazy huge over here. As you can see by the views also. It was number one aswell.

even though theyre pretty much the same, miranda's makes me want to dance more than the other one. hahaha. it seems like theres more drums in her version.

i had no idea this was a cover until now

i think she may have changed the words because in the original they said something about "last night" and maybe some people might interpret that in a way inappropriate for kids?? and since miranda's on a kid's show...maybe. idk

im not really in love with either version. its just not the song for me i guess :P

i personally like miranda's.
i like miranda's voice and it's so much more fun and upbeat.
i agree that it just makes me wanna get up and dance.
the other ones..just too slow for my liking and i dont like
their voices :/
that's just my opinion.

Miranda's sounds exactly the same as theres...

but I like sugababes version better anyways. they have amazing vocals (:

edit; but i like miranda's voice a lot. if she just doesnt do a cover and does her own, then i'm sure she'd be a really good singer.

I Never Knew This Song Was A Cover lol
The Song Itself Really Just Annoys Me Though :P
So I Don't Really Care For Either Of Them.
But If I Had To Choose I Would Go With Miranda's
Just Because It's More Upbeat And I Can Dance
To It haha Songs Are Better When I Can Dance To Them :P
