Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus?! I dreamt it was over...
On the other hand, a really good cover of DDIO is by Flock of Dimes w/ Sylvan Esso
Also, FAYF by Glenn Richards
He goes on -Belinda Carlisle
DDIO- Paul Young

+1 to Sylvan Esso. I continue to hate the Grande/Cyrus versions (any of them). It's clear by her singing and demeanor that Miley Cyrus has no idea of the meaning of "my possessions were causing me suspicion but there's no proof." A well-meaning performance by a couple of talented but callow kids, who embody the worst of modern pop vocal affectations.

I enjoyed the instrumental tinkerings of the Boy & Bear cover, but was not a fan of the vocals at all.

I still haven't listened to them, nor do I want to. I appreciate the charitable nature of the covers, I just don't like feeling disappointment with a Finn song.

I got lucky enough to hear Jimmy do this one live last summer ...
Here are my favorite Crowded House/Neil Finn covers ... with YouTube videos below.
1. Ron Sexsmith & Jesse Cook - Fall At Your Feet
2. Oh Mercy - I'm Possessed
3. Jeremy Carter - Nobody Wants To
4. Joel Brigginshaw - Not The Girl
5. Marillion - She Goes On
6. Kenneth August - Song of The Lonely Mountain
7. Diesel + The Girl - Fall At Your Feet
8. Susan Boyle - Don't Dream It's Over
9. Boy & Bear (ft Bernard Fanning) - Don't Dream It's Over
10. Shawn Colvin - Private Universe
11. Kit Richardson - Private Universe
Kit Richardson’s Private Universe gave me chills! Still not as good as the CH version but she and her group captured the spirit of the original. That is not an easy thing to do.
And I'd also like to include Tim Finn's cover of "How Will You Go" which rips my heart out. I'll call it a cover ...
This is the best CH cover I’ve ever heard: https://youtu.be/ptOphaPQvFY
Clint Hollinson - Fingers of Love (really amazing cover)
