Live Performances and Cover Versions
On May 5, 1999, Paige performed "Crush" at the 1999 World Music Awards.
Emperor Entertainment Group of Hong Kong bought a license of the melody, and made a Cantonese version sung by Cantopop diva Joey Yung called "Unknown", which is included on her debut album, EP/JOEY, and compilation album, Love Joey 2. It won "Best Performance of Cover Song award". This becomes Joey's first big hit in the Hong Kong music industry, achieving charting success with 3 number-ones (out of 4 charts in Hong Kong). "Unknown" is still a remarkable and popular hit of Joey now.
Lea Michele recorded the song for the November 18, 2009 episode of Glee. It is also featured on the second soundtrack album.

Famous quotes containing the words live, performances, cover and/or versions:
“Andrews: Do you love her?
Peter: A normal human being couldn’t live under the same roof with her without going nutty. She’s my idea of nothing!
Andrews: I asked you a simple question. Do you love her?
Peter: Yes! But don’t hold it against me. I’m a little screwy myself.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
