Yes. I don't have any idea if it's true or not.

In Mariah's defense she does have some early songs that are great to balance her covers out. (IMO)

All we're saying is that she's horrible at cover renditions. I haven't heard Everything Fades Away in forever.

There are hundreds of other, better songs that she can cover. I like "I Want To Know" well enough but I don't think it's the right choice of a song for her to cover. Unless she does something totally different from the original arrangement, I don't think it's going to be that great. I heard a while ago she performed Chaka Khan's "Night Moods" in concert several years ago. Now, that would be one hell of a cover if she went with that one! It certainly suits her voice more than the Foreigner song.

Ah man! My favourite Mariah song along with "all i ever wanted" and "till the end of time"

I didn't realise how many covers of BIG hits he has done, especially since she's a 'singer/songwriter'...

Can't stand "I'll be there' but liked 'without you' - Was 'The Wind' a cover?

She should sing "Hot Blooded" over the beat to Funky Cold Medina, a post-modern cover.

wow and to think he hasn't even heard that rumored remake yet

ok going through this thread, i noticed almost any good song of hers is immedietly thought to be a cover damn

Nilsson's version is a cover, too.

The song was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger - it first appeared on their 1970 album, "No Dice".

"America's favourite bloated, human dog whistle"

People are bastards!

PsychedelicGoof said:

Wow! Never knew that it was a cover...This is why I hang out at the "Org", the stuff that you learn...

shorttrini said:

Me either! Thanks, PsychedelicGoof!

Timmy84 said:

The original version sucks!! It sounds more like the demo version...

shorttrini said:

Oh for real?

Beautiful Ones (pretty bad)
Against All Odds (worst)
Bringing On The Heartbreak (yuk)
Endless Love with Luther (good but nothing new)

Just ignore it. It'll go away.

NOOOOO!!!!!

Her remake of "I Still Believe" wasn't very good,either.The original version by Brenda K.Starr is effectively wistful and emotional.Mariah's version is flat and boring.

I hate Phil Collins, but I liked her remake of "Against All Odds".

Cinnie said:

I did too I think its better in my opinion.


But Im not looking 4ward to this remake..but it will be better than some tired r&b slow jam she had put on the last album..I hated ALL those slow songs on e=MC2 except for I Wish You Well, wich is in a class of its own unfortunatley

carlcranshaw said:

Oh yeah she coverd I Didnt Mean TO Turn You On and Just Be Good To Me (live only)too

SoulAlive said:

How dare you? .. . ...how dare you. Her version was the one that was flat it needed more umph.

paisleypark4 said:

I think Mariah sang the song better, overall. Especially the way she hit the high notes. Brenda sounded flat in parts in her version (to me).

However, I still that remake is pretty bad. Especially when she's singing the verses. She was slurring her words at that time (like she did with most of the songs on the Charmbracelet album).

paisleypark4 said:

Don't forget "Funkin For Jamacia" and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" were remakes for that project.

She also sampled Make It Last Forever for the remix of "Thank God I Found You".
