Bon Jovi Cover Makes Duffy Feel She's Arrived
 Fametastic reports that Duffy feels she's "really here now" now that Bon Jovi has covered her #1 hit song Mercy.
Duffy's hit "Mercy" might have reached number 1 in 15 countries around the world and hit the top 10 in another 17, but she's revealed that it was only when Bon Jovi covered it during their recent tour that she realised she was famous.
She told Spin magazine recently: "It's a strange feeling when a person at that level is playing a song I wrote.
"It's like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm really here now. [Jon] Bon Jovi knows that I exist."
"A girl from Wales - that's all I am, really."
It's good to hear that Duffy is still so modest. The music industry is a tough business and even though it seems clear Duffy has the stuff you don't want to get too far ahead of yourself. Maybe years from now Duffy will write a song about how she's still just a girl from Wales.

Mandy Moore's Umbrella Cover
A Pepsi-Yahoo promotion on Yahoo Music called cover art has several artists performing covers of hit songs. The best cover among them is Many Moore's cover of Rihanna's terrific song "Umbrella." Moore says she doesn't normally listen to pop music but says that "you just cannot deny how melodic this song is." Rihanna's original video for "Umbrella" runs in the background during Moore's cover. You can see the original video from Rihanna here. Here is Mandy Moore's cover of "Umbrella."
