"Butchering Kurt's songs" like man, what's wrong with you? If you sympathize Kurt and Nirvana as a whole, you would know that this is exactly what they stood for. Nirvana's songs are a legendary stain on music's history, but talking about them as if they're godsends that should never be recreated is just cringy. I'd say Kurt would love to see things like that. Don't demotivate a 14 year old girl who did a great job on a legendary song just because you don't enjoy it as much as Kurt's version.
