The Carpenters bashing now is the same it was in the 1970s. People simply do not want to look past the fact that a geeky/creepy brother/sister duo made good music. Yes, they were a mess due in no small part to their parents. The fact remains that they made great pop music.

Richard was an excellent arranger, and they were both great students of jazz. Karen (as Anx already stated) was a drummer, and a pretty damn good one at that. Richard was a wiz on the keys and had a real ear for appealing pop melodies and hooks. On top of it all, Karen's voice was one of the very best in pop music. I'd say next to Dionne Warwick, nobody did heartache as well as she did. There was also a dreamy quality to her voice that elevated the best of their upbeat numbers. Yes, they came across as naive little do-gooders in a music scene full of hippies, edgy rock performers and socially conscience rock and soul, but had they hit just five years earlier we wouldn't even be having this debate. They made unabashed, brilliant pop music.

I am a student of the song Superstar; it's probably my favorite pop song. I could give a whole class on it. If you ask me (and you did by allowing me to ever post here ) Luther's version of it isn't that great. I love his songs, song writing, production and what he brought to R&B, but his take on it is hard for me to wrap my ear around. He made a smooth R&B ballad out of a song about groupies. Had that arrangement been attached to different lyrics, I might have liked it more, but it just didn't work with the mood of the song. The Carpenters' take on it was likely the best version but it wasn't the first. It had already been recorded at least two times by the time they released it.

And Luther's version of it was, without a doubt, inspired by The Carpenters' rendition. He uses the lyrics for their version, which are slightly different than the others - "and I can hardly wait to be with you again," rather than "and I can hardly wait to sleep with you again."

End of Carpenters defense for the jury.

I don't think they realize that you weren't calling Luther Vandross a wuss
you was just answering the question of who listened to The Carpenters music and your response was Luther Vandross, among many others

Oops!
Sorry, guys.
I misread the title of this thread as "Who has the biggest wuss in music?".

Imago said:

and hand puppets. remember that?

EMINEM.




picking fights with Boy bands.

Imago said:

Co sign! That was seriously weak. Funny thing was; Ice T called him a "rapping nerd" and strangely Eminem made no response, yet he made a big show of attacking that badass hellraiser Moby who had said that some of Em's lyrics were a bit objectionable. Strange.

whoknows said:

....and speaking of Moby!

dancerella said:

Moby is a serious street fighting man! Eminem only picks fights with the heavyweights; Britney, Christina, Vanilla Ice, Ricky Martin. The toughest of the tough. Then 50 gets beef with Ja Rule and Eminem shits his pants and starts talking like Ghandi.
