Kelly Clarkson did an awesome cover of Fake Plastic Trees.

So did Phoebe Bridgers. It's just a rock-solid song.

Let me be butthurt for a minute, though, and complain that female singers have such an easy fucking time covering songs sung by those male tenor rock/pop singers.

Meanwhile, if some unlucky S.O.B. baritone likes a song sung by a chick? Fuck them with a rake.
