Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” has received a flawless cover. This is a stunning rendition of a classic song that most people know and love. Watch this short but jaw-dropping clip to listen to this young woman’s dazzling rendition of “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now).”

Covers are a time-honored tradition and are not going anywhere any time soon. It’s a safe bet that as long as there is music, musicians will continue to perform songs originally written, recorded and performed by others. So, if you aren’t a fan of covers, I’ve got some rather disappointing and potentially upsetting news for you.

When considering those who do not enjoy covers, their distaste likely has to do with one fundamental reason. Covers rarely, if ever, live up to or match the original. So, naturally, the thinking would be, “Well, then why even try?” That is entirely understandable, and most people will probably agree that covers, while a lot of them are thoroughly enjoyable, don’t compare to the original version. However, there are very rare occasions in which the cover surpasses the original, and a young woman might have done that with a Phil Collins tune.

In the video posted on YouTube, Connie Talbot plays the piano and sings “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now).” Of course, everyone is fully aware that Phil Collins, the former Genesis frontman, released the song way back in 1984, and it’s a classic for sure. Within the first couple of notes, you immediately recognize the song and are likely singing along soon after.

While Phil’s version is undeniably a classic, I would argue that this young woman’s is better. Her beautiful, crystal-clear voice makes this version a must-hear. You could easily listen to her sing this tune on repeat and never tire of it—it is that good!
