Cover versions that should never have happened...


Recommended Posts

Posted

At this present time the song bugging me most is One Day I'll Fly Away, originally by Randy Crawford and then covered by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.

 

The original has so much soul and magic, but I think the Kidman version is horrible! She sucks all the soul out of the song and makes it boring!

 

Other covers I can't stand are:

 

RHCP's version of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground, don't get me started! :angry:

Madonna's version of American Pie, OMG!

Lindsay Lohan's version of Stevie Nick's Edge Of Seventeen, musical MURDER! :nono:

 

Which covers get under your skin?

 

:pinch:

Whitney Houston's You Light Up My Life (what a disaster!!!)

Celine's Feliz Navidad (sounds like a novelty song lol)

Kelly Osbourne's Papa Don't Preach (this woman is a waste of space in music world!)

Mariah Carey's I Still Believe (hoarse!)

Avril's Knockin' on Heaven's Door (i like avril but she can do better than this 1)

i like Nicole's version actually. its unique in its own way. naturally, they had to remake it to fit a musical. furthermore, Nicole is not a professional singer

 

i dont fancy Il Divo's version of Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore. i cant remember what other remakes i dont like lol

for Celine's feliz navidad well it's with her family.. ok! so it's special......

and for MC's i still believe i thought it's good...

Courage don't you dare fail me now!

Omg that is what I was thinking as soon as I read the title of this thread. Her version is just awful, terrible can't believe they would give such a beautiful song to someone like that :doh: :doh: :doh: It just made a mockery of the song :glare:

Posted
I LOVE Celine obviously, but her version of What a Wonderful World just doesn't emotionally grab me like Louis Armstrong's :confused:, the song is very significant and special for me but I don't really like her version. I was gutted though watching the footage of the song the day her father Adhemar passed away oh my goodness heartbreaking :teary:

I won't be mean and post about what I don't like, but are you guys serious about Jessica's version of Angels?? I think she did an amazing job, honestly! She sings it with a kind of passion Robbie never had, and hit some incredible notes!

Leona Lewis' "I Will Be."

Avril's versions (I know she wrote it) kicks its butt.

"People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."

- Céline Dion, 1990

I kinda agree with Jacqui on "Angels". Even I seem to prefer Jessica's version to Robbie'e :ermm:

 

And Alex, Leona's version of "I Will Be" surely lacked the passion Avril had... but it's good to hear both of them sing that beautiful song ^_^

 

Leona's and even Celine's version of TFTEISYF

Westlife - "Home" ... seriously, what were they thinking?? Even with the alterations, it was a farce to Buble's original.

 

There are some more... just not in my head right now :lol:

:doh: I didn't even know they covered this but I'm a BIG Buble fan so I don't even want to hear this...

 

And nobody should try and cover Josh Groban songs... period. Westlife and You Raised Me Up = no good :no:

Ilse DeLange - I Will Always Love You

Lara Fabian - Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore

 

The latter one bugs the hell outta me, because it seems like she speed talks through it. And both Dolly and Whitney have sung the hell out of IWALY!!

LIKE A DAGGER IN MY :heart: !!! :rip:

Since Dhena started it, she and not I should be the subject of criticism for this post of mine :innocent: :P

 

Some songs that Celine should NEVER have covered:

 

1. I Wish

2. Alone (sorry, Davey 'oney)

3. Feliz Navidad ... oh God! what was she thinking?? :blink:

4. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

5. At Last ( I adore Etta James' version)

6. Fever (the BIGGEST :doh: )

 

 

these are some which I don't like and it's just MY opinion.

HOW DARE YOU???!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

 

 

 

 

Whoriah's Ken Lee should never have happened then!!!! And That IS A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I'd say Lindsay's "Edge Of Seventeen" was a real disaster. Bigger than Hurricane Katrina, bigger than the tsunami in 2004, bigger even than the earthquake in China. Never cover Stevie Nicks. Ever.

Personally I don't agree with this but I'm happy you spoke your mind on what you thought. Kudos to you. :yes:

Every single cover than Westlife has done has been a crime against music. They should go on trial.
