[edit] Articles about remakes for which there's little to no coverage of other versions
These articles are about notable versions of notable songs, but are weighted impartially in that other notable versions do not receive attention.
- I Promised Myself (A*Teens) - Covers strictly A*Teens version; other notable include Nick Kamen
- The Loco-Motion - Covers strictly the Kylie version; other notable include Little Eva and Grand Funk
- Super Duper Love - Joss Stone covered, but very little info on the original
- Sweetheart (song) - Covers Jermaine Dupri/Mariah Carey version; almost no info on original Rainy Davis version
- Word Up! (song) - covers the Mel B. version and not Cameo. Tragic!
- You're the Voice - Handles the Rebecca St. James version, which is about the least notable out there. Highly notable: John Farnham. Somewhat less notable: Heart.
