Back in the days of yore I played covers in clubs and the audience in those days liked close to the original. Like I said I can go either way depends on the song and the mood I'm in. Congrats on your YT success.

I hear ya. I have a long history in singing groups doing covers. Man the audience is brutal if you don't do the cover like the original LOL I used to do the song by Earth Wind and Fire called "Reasons". They came out with a live version and Phillip Bailey hit a note in the live version that I just couldn't hit. We dropped the song because if I couldn't hit THAT NOTE it didn't matter how good I did the song. It just wasn't gonna fly. LOL
