I don’t watch or listen to covers of “Waterfalls” so I wouldn’t know how her cover compares to others. Also, I don’t listen to much acoustic coffee house type of music*.
Finally, my comment was speaking to the genre from which her cover derives. Her version, like I said, does not borrow from the 1990s R&B/pop sound Organized Noize used for “Waterfalls.”

*Hmmmm. Maybe this is why I disliked Lauryn Hill’s MTV Unplugged joint
