1. Angel Of The Morning -- Juice Newton...5 (a good cover, basically made it her own)
2. Baby I Love Your Way -- Big Mountain...2 (okay, but I wasn't really feeling it)

4. Crimson & Clover -- Joan Jett...4 (a good cover)
5. Dancing In The Street -- Mick Jagger & David Bowie...3 (cute for pop's sake)
6. First Cut Is The Deepest -- Sheryl Crow...4 (not bad at all)
