Dionne Warwick: "My ears can only take Mariah..."

.


When asked if she has any tips for young singers, Dionne Warwick, in an interview just before her performance at Live and Loud KL 2007 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia quickly said, "I don't give advice. I give encouragement." However, when it comes to naming young talents whom she listens to, she coolly replied, "Well, my ears can only take Mariah Carey, Usher and Brazilian music."

What about cousin Whitney Houston? "Oh yes, most definitely," she said.

Exactly. That's why when people go on about stars' personal bullshit, I don't look twice. Especially when someone had the voice she has/had. smile

I do. wink I admit that, that's the "divided soul" ((C)Marvin) in me. biggrin Matter of fact, I was screaming "SELLOUT" when she did that Psychic thing, lol. I only knew her through Whitney and "That's What Friends Are For" but I discovered she was the original singer behind "Walk On By", "Don't Make Me Over", "I Say a Little Prayer" and songs like those before Psychics came. biggrin

Well, Usher (ok, his producer Just Blaze) sampled Dionne's voice for his song "Throwback".

...how to sing melodies, and how to arrange songs so that you can actually listen to them, rather than be pummeled into submission by them - another lost art, perhaps.

that's one of the best compilations i've ever heard - 24 songs, and I can listen to every last one of them with genuine enjoyment.
