I thinks that Valensia's reinterpretation of "I'm in love with my car" as a duet between Freddie Mercury and Kate Bush really has its own soul.
And on the side, I really like his interpretation of The man from manhattan too, especially the guitar work between 1:20-1:30.
Do you have links to these? Would love to see them! :-)

Man From Manhattan
This is a pretty interesting album. On many of the songs, they don't perform them exactly as Queen did, but instead come up with arrangements very much in Queen's style.
The down side of this approach is it can come off a bit contrived, and it has also typecast the artists involved as Queen knock-offs.
But for what it is, it's a great album that can only be truly appreciated by Queen aficionados.

I am listening the album right now.
1) I find Liar to be the most creative
2) Love of my life is beautifull
3) Killer Queen. Interesting slowing down the tempo.
4) 2:41 on Take my Breath away i thought i heard Freddie on the line "anywhere you go"
The Queen Tribute album by Valensia remains still my main favorite cover-album, which I actually listen back from time to time. Most other cover albums I have are more for 'collection' purposes: listen once/twice, and then keep them nice and stored :).
Going back to the initial question on covers with their own soul,
the cover by Karin Hougaard & Carlos Vamos of "All dead, all dead", on the album "Karin Hougaard sings Queen", is quite a nice different versions, which I would describe as a bit more rythmic and Santana-like guitar.
(ps. with the remainder of Karin Hougaards covers, I had some trouble adjusting to her way of singing, but kudo's for her covering less known songs).
