>>52527097I will (almost) always prefer Polka's covers because she doesn't 'just' cover song, she puts her own spin on them to make them her own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_iENh4xFeEThis is pretty terribly balanced, but even as quite as Polka's audio is you can still hear her, and only her, at several moments in the song because she ad-libs empty spaces.

Things like that make it so, even if the cover doesn't land exactly on the mark, it still gives it a very unique feel that stands out and draws me in.
That all said, Lui's cover was still very good, and I hope she is proud of herself (and not too hard on herself over the delays)
