I personally cannot STAND Kara. Watching her sing makes me cringe.

[Scramasboy]

I'm sorry, I hate it. I don't think she sounds very good at all.

[idroveallnight]

I liked this. It would be cool to see Celine sing an unplugged version like this with just a guitar player.

[browseceline]

ok.. glad I am not the only one who does not like this version.. Celine has so much more power then this singer.

And in a umplugged version this song really lacks everything...at least when this girl is singing it. Don't know how it would sound

when Celine would sing it.. Anyway it was super to hear Celine live in Amsterdam singing this song and it gave me the shivers but this version...it lacks everything and I don't like it at all!

[Claudette]

I don't like her singing, but I think she is a good songwriter. I hope Celine works with her again sometime in the future.

 

I wish Celine would do an unplugged show... it would be sooooo great...

[luciusbright]

a good songwriter and an unplugged show is always welcomed~~

[seb68]

wow....thank U

[maceta_biloxi]

I like Kara's version, her voice is more rock than pop to me, she has certain edge...

[CSCfan]

Thanks!

 

I actually think her performance of this song is better in the clip with Dave Stewart on her official site

[Celinesongs]

Thanks for that.

Thanks Koolan...that was great! I like how she sang her own version instead of Celine's

 

And for those of you who watch American Idol...waaaaaay better than "Bikini Girl"!!!

Hey Britt, I know what you mean...I think it's her arrogance, but I kinda liked the way she sang it if I closed my eyes

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks she's arrogant. Like I said before: she is a good songwriter, but she is just arrogant as hell...

agreed. Did you see her in the Taking Chances DVD where she is working with Celine for "Surprise Surprise" and she won't friggin let Celine sing it her own way. She gets on her for every word she does. And Celine... her reaction to it is priceless!

Yeah, I saw it. I was just waiting for Celine to snap and give her a piece of her mind... but of course Celine is to nice... I wish I knew what went through her mind...

I did see that...that was before American Idol. I couldn't stand her after I watched it and it took a very long time for me to warm up to her on AI After Celine repeated the line the same every time, I would have loved to have seen her roll her eyes

Yet Kara managed to get one of the best performances from Celine on the album. Kara wrote the song, it was about her life so I think she was quite justified in making Celine sing the song the way she wanted. Really hope she can write a couple of tracks for the next album too.

I agree.

 

Personally:

 

"Surprise Surprise" IS the best song on that album. Case closed.

I love the song, that is not what I am saying. I also think it is one of the best she has - but that doesn't take away the blatant fact that Kara is OBNOXIOUS.

"Try, TRY, it's hard T-ry." UUUGHG.

Case closed.
