The ladies do many of these better. (Yes, I know many of their bands contain men).

| Thanks! Tori Amos did a whole album covering men's songs in a very unique way. The way she covered Eminem's song about harming his wife was chilling. |

India Arie's cover of Heart of the Matter is one of my favorites.
