I've got a Lisa Bonet Crush, laugh all you want, her singing that shit song was hot

CinisterCee said:

If my memory is right I think I like that one better than Benet's, but it's been so long since I've heard it it's hard to remember everything about it.

I kinda figured as much.

Wow, you guys have hit the nail right on the head with your choices. I have to say that I couldn't have picked better worst cover tunes. Although, I must admit that I like Tom Jones's version of Kiss

I hated his covers of Sweet Dreams and Tainted Love too....two of my favorite 80's songs ever.

How do you like Alien Ant Farm's cover of "Smooth Criminal"

Alicia Keys "If I Was Your Woman / Walk On By" Horrible re-make of half of Gladys' song no need for that!!!

Tiffany - I Saw Him Standing There

i know...its a mortal sin.

i think he realizes he has no talent and therefore has to try to steal others songs....and all he does is massacre them.

Lennon said:

you're welcome

that song blew from the beginning. i can tolerate Madonna's version, though it's certainly not a favorite.

Mariah Carey ~ "The Beautiful Ones"
Mary J. Blige ~ "I'm Going Down"

GrayKing said:

Yeah, thats true. Maybe her version belongs in the "covers better than the original" thread, now that you point that out.

every time i see that commercial (for whatever it is) with Los Lonely Boys butchering Johnny Cash's "I Walk The Line" i want to vomit in my shoe and throw it through the screen

I no y'all gon' hate me 4 this, but I'm just 1derin' how many black folks think that Sinead's version is better than The Family's or Prince's???? 2 me she just anally raped the SOUL outta that that song.
It's just my opinion & curiousity, OK!!!

I'm with you there. I think here version was a disgrace to music.

How dare All Saints butcher the Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge"?

The Britney cover of "I Love Rock'n'Roll" was admittably rather crass now that you reminded me of it.

HrdwcH said:

I hate the Family's version. Prince's isn't that much better. Sinead did the impossible and actually made the song listenable.

I LOVER Prince, but....

He DESTROYED "I can't make you love me"

On the other hand, "The Beautiful Ones" by Mariah, made me LOVE that song..


Yeah, yeah, I know.....

tritoncin said:

I actually like Mariah's version. I feel it's one of her better performances, more emotionally honest than we're used to hearing from her. If she'd duetted with Prince instead of Dru Hill, maybe people would have reacted differently.

Novabreaker said:

Even more crass was the fact that she thought she was covering Pat Benatar.

tritoncin said:

and how!!!

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
