I get such an [b]ick feeling[/b] from the fact that this needed to covered [b]a white dude[/b]. The original is so much better.[/quote]

I think people are upset that a white dude is topping the charts with a song written by a black, lgbt woman. Country music and its fans don’t exactly have a history of supporting black people.  [/quote]

How can you be upset when her music is reaching a different genre of audience and new generations plus making her royalties?  Glad for both of them. Good music is timeless. [/quote]
Yes, I agree that good music is timeless. But this reminds me of the “black music” that got no airtime during the 1950s but as soon as a white dude sang the same songs (Elvis) the songs rocketed up the charts.

Interesting article about Elvis and his black music:
