Emilie Simon Covers David Bowie

After enduring mostly uncomfortable and campy covers on Canadian Idol earlier this summer, particularly one painful female fronted cover of 'Space Oddity' I was weary of another female fronted cover of the same song. Emilie Simon of Paris, France really impressed me, especially in the wake of hearing some excellent covers off of the "Life Beyond Mars " Bowie Tribute album. This is probably my favorite cover of the Bowie classic to date. When the glitchy African rhythms and hand claps kick in, I have a feeling you might agree.
