Kareha (Autumn Leaves) - this one is a hard one since there's so many versions of this song that it's hard to pick a favorite, but hers definitely can stand alongside the others

I'm sure I'm missing some songs that she's covered but this is just a basic list. Anyone else share a similar opinion with me that whatever she touches she usually makes better?
I agree with some of the stuff on that list. I think "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" is definitely better. "Love is Blind" also. I can't say the same for Autumn Leaves though, Charles Aznavour has the definitive version of that song, but there's is a place in my heart for Shiina's rendition.
