The other day is was in a fancy clothing store, (they had nice t-shirts on sale) and I heard a cover of Streets with a female lead vocalist, and the main melody was played on piano. It was actually pretty good, so does anyone know who its bye?

Did he do it solo, or with The Goo Goo Dolls? Seems decent.

He teamed up with Les Paul to do it, dunno about the whole band though...

And for all you lot giving the VC cover, don't be so harsh lol - she can sing (although the more I listen, she sounds slightly flat but I can't talk - my voice is fucked at the moment so I can't really sing at all lol!), but obviously she's not got the quality of Bono's singing, the voice that the song originally had in mind.
