Celine Dion's AC/DC cover worst ever

Celine Dion's cover of AC/DC's 1980 classic "You Shook Me All Night Long" has been deemed the worst cover song of all time, according to the U.K. magazine Total Guitar. The 40-year-old pop diva has never released a studio version of the tune, but performed it as a duet with Anastacia at a Las Vegas concert in 2002. That version showed up on a CD/DVD titled Divas Las Vegas 2002. Total Guitar branded it as a "musical offense."

A panel of "experts" compiled a list of the five worst and best cover songs for the magazine. The worst were:
1. Celine Dion - "You Shook Me All Night Long" (AC/DC)
2. Girls Aloud/Sugarbabes - "Walk This Way" (Aerosmith)
3. Westlife - "More Than Words" (Extreme)
4. Will Young - "Light My Fire" (The Doors)
5. The Mike Flowers Pops - "Wonderwall" (Oasis)

The best cover songs were:
1. Jimi Hendrix - "All Along The Watchtower" (Bob Dylan)
2. The Beatles - "Twist And Shout" (The Top Note)
3. Guns N' Roses - "Live And Let Die" (Wings)
4. Nirvana - "The Man Who Sold the World" (David Bowie)
5. Muse - "Feeling Good" (Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse)
