Cover versions are fine, provided the artists in question make it their own, and it isn't just some karaoke cash-in.
The ultimate example: My all time favourite cover version by Pet Shop Boys, of Always on My Mind. They made the song 100 percent their own. This is a Pet Shop Boys record through and through (and was rewarded by being at number one for four weeks throughout Christmas 1987/8 in the UK).
