Mariah Carey Set To Destroy Foreigner Classic | |
- E-mail - orgNote -  Report post to moderator |
America's favorite bloated, human dog whistle, otherwise known as Mariah Carey, is set to remake Foreigner's classic 1985 number one hit, I Wanna Know What Love Is. Keep in mind that this was a real, legitimate number one hit, not a deeply discounted flop single disguised as a hit like so many of Mariah Carey's songs.
 Rude. Anyway, better this tune than to remake Hot Blooded.  | |

Rude. Anyway, better this tune than to remake Hot Blooded. WHY??? did this song need to be covered? I mean leave shit alone for god sakes, especially her since almos all her remakes have been awful...lets take a look at mariahs remake history She started good with I'll be there Vanishing But then down the drain with The Beautiful Ones (fucking Horrible!) Open Arms (terrible, bland no passion or emotion) Without You (there has been only 1 good cover of this song, and this AINT it) Ok with this one Bringin on the Heartbreak (she actually did ok, 1 of 3 good songs on that terrible album) "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

I just think she can "ruin" it all she wants. I never liked it anyway. | |

I don't like any of her remakes.She's not a good "remake singer"....she just makes the song more boring. | |

She is lucky she is hot and has great legs (though she has lost too much weight recently), because her output is really not something that holds your interest.

Didn't know. oops sorry, i always mix that one up, she covered an aretha song at the "mariah" soundstage the same time she did vanishing (same show) and the Aretha cover was supposed to make her first album but didnt, in place was Vanishing "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

seeingvoices12 said: Nick715 said: Don't forget she did "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins. and "Do you know where your going to" by Diana Ross yeah she needs to stop covering things at this point. though im guessing this is to re-introduce her to the ballad audience she totally ingored the last decade. Lets not confuse the ballad audience with the mid-tempo zombies "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

Nope. They are the same song musically and melody wise. If you listen to the choruses they are almost identical. Here's a performance of the song.

For me, her best song is Truly a Great song. Yeah, it is. But I guess my favourite from that album is this one. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Oddly I listened to the original for the first time about three years ago, just about twelve years after hearing Mariah's version (Nillson actually died around the time Mariah released her version oddly enough) and I kept thinking "why did Mariah mess that track up?" | |

[Edited 4/22/09 11:30am] There is a misunderstanding, Maybe you meant the contrary , since your post indicates that this song was stolen From Nsync but its the contrary, "its gonna be me" was released in 2000, "melt away" in 1995...so melody was stolen from mariah..... Plus, Its painful to watch Nsync on stage, chickens on stage, why they dance if they can't 
I now see the resemblance in the chorus

They say Whitney is remaking "I Won't Hold You Back" by Toto. So let the AOR treatments begin.
I'd rather hear Mariah take a chance and redo this: [Edited 4/22/09 13:06pm] "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |
