Fuck that! Nothing was wrong with The System's version

I think his version stands up to the systems'.

The original is THE real classic. It's a electronic musical masterpiece.

I love you paisley (and you're unaware obviously) but not this shit again. Facts were presented, discounted, taken out of context...the discussion/argument went on and on and on.

It wasn't that bad at all. He did it justice.

Robert contacted The System before he recorded the song and they gave him their blessings. David Frank even played keyboards on Robert's version. If they didn't have a problem with it, why do you...a quarter of a century after the fact?

robert was a fucking hell of a singer,

sure, he did a few covers,

but overall, he was the shit!

to be honest, i like both versions.

The systems is obviously the best,it has the amazing electronic synths and beat.

robert's is more of a rockier version, still bloody good mind you.

Agreed. Robert's vocal talents won't be forgotten. Rest in Peace Robert

Allow me to clarify my poorly constructed sentence - unaware of the previous discussion re: Palmer's cover version...not unaware of my "love" for him.

RipHer2Shreds said:

actually, i was laughing at you bringing up that other thread.

Palmer's version was the hot shit...you kiddin me Ike?

IAintTheOne said:

I didnt know that he had contacted them and remade it. I never said it was BAD...i just wanted to know why he kept remaking things that were made in the same 10 year span of music.

That's like Foo Fighters doing "Dirrty" by Xtina...WHY?

Ripher2shreds...yeah I never knew there was a post about that b4..lol...it sounded like it was funny

I thought you were gonna ask why he would remake Mercy Mercy Me - a song pointedly about pollution & the environment - as ameldey with a sexy love song.

When he sings "I want you, but I want you to want me too..." is he singing to the Planet?

I don't know if I heard the other one you're talking about.

Now with that, he did the medley because he loved Marvin and his music. I ain't got a problem with him doing covers, lol.

bobzilla77 said:

did he do that too??? laaawd

paisleypark4 said:

Word. The original was THE bomb.

Giovanni777 said:

it was tight. palmer's vocal arrangement were loose and kind of not on the beat.

paisleypark4 said:

He thought that too. This is why he re-did his vocals, when it was placed on one of his greatest hits CD's. Although I like the System's version, RP's version, seemed to funk a little bit more. That's just me though.

Quamirozsaz said:

AND BESIDES.....THE SYSTEM GOT PAID LIKE A MUHFUKKA!!!!!

MR. PALMER DID OTHER REMAKES & DID JUSTICE TO THEM AS WELL:

1)I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON- CHERRELLE

2)I WANT YOU/MERCY MERCY ME (THE ECOLOGY)- MARVIN GAYE

ALL HIS REMAKES ARE COOL BECAUSE HE HONESTLY GAVE A SH*T ABOUT THE SONG

NOW START A THREAD LIKE "WHY THE *&%% DID MICHAEL BOLTON....." !!!!!
