It greatly depends on the audience ... many 'older' folks enjoy hearing a performer put his/her own interpretation to a song, while most 'younger' people NEED to have the song sound just like original ... IMHO, this 'NEED' is one of the factors that contributed to rise of DJs ... and the rise of DJs helped feed the NEED ...
Back 'in the day' when I had a band in New York City we COULD play any pop song in 'our own style' and the audience enjoyed it ... but that happens less and less with younger audiences ...
