The secret to a good cover song is to not replicate the original but to use it as a framework and investing it with that singer's set of unique strengths. The goal should be to interpret and re-invent, not slavishly reproduce.

I'm on my 5th listen of this in two days :)
wondering if i will be hearing Obadiah Parker's version of
"Hey Ya" (Outkast) on this mix? It certainly falls under your stated "secret to a good cover song". :)
I'm liking this Portishead cover...very nice!
