I remember Prince commenting on it at the time, saying it was cool but wasn't meant to be a "duet" | |

Harlepolis said: blackguitaristz said: Alright Harlepolis....what it is? How is it "redundant" if Mariah covered Lovin U? Who is EVERYBODY that has covered this song? The only person that I know of that I ever heard played on the radio doing this as a cover is Shanice. That was in 92 wasn't it?
http://www.allmusic.com/c...=17:919217 The torch has been passed since 1990, I thought that was already established 
Personally, I find her subtle "odes/tributes" to Minnie to be FAR more effective and genuine than an outright cover of Lovin' You which is the expected thing to do since she's the alleged "5 high octaves" diva, right?
Been there, done that! Listen to 4th Of July, Subtle Invitation, Bliss(and many others). Now these songs are examples of the grandest hat-tip that Ms.Carey could pay to Ms.Riperton,,,,something Shanice wouldn't come up & chose the easy way out. Mind you, I'm not commanding Mariah for covering some of the songs(some were bad choices, unoriginal, insincere and hell, it eliminated all the hard work that was in the process, which killed the spirit of the song IMO). Thats EXACTLY how I feel about Nippy's version of "Every Woman" and Shanice' infamous cover of Minnie,,,,it lacked hard work and originality and instead it gave me this random spur-of-the-moment feel. I have a feeling that Mariah respects Minnie TOO much to put herself in that predicament and chose more "subtle" methods to pay her respect for Minnie. But then again I'm extremely biased when it comes to Chaka & Minnie  when somebody sings their songs,,,its a total waste of time, energy and money that should've been saved instead.
[Edited 9/2/09 18:43pm] I can dig it. Chaka and Minnie have always been two of my all time favorite female singers. Me personally, I STILL think Mariah should have covered Lovin You,...Sure it would have been an obvious choice but a cool choice never the less. Plus like I stated, for me, I wanted to see how Mariah would have sounded doing Lovin You. Cuz I never thought it was an "automatic" thing that she would have nailed it. When someone rides so hard on the high pitch notes ala Minnie -risms Mariah was doing, I, like many o.g.'s were like "Whaaat?!" when we first heard Mariah copping that. So for me, right away, I was like "Oh, o.k.. Then why doesn't she do Lovin You since she's sooo bad?!  Let me see her try to fuck with that." Cuz I have loved Minnie's voice all of my life and her voice was so pure and clean. Elements that I had never really heard in Mariah's voice. So I was like "Get with Lovin You, Ms. Hot Thang!". But truthfully, I don't REALLY give a fuck if Mariah covers Lovin You or Scooby Doo. Cuz I'm not REALLY keying in on her voice when I'm LOOKING at her. And girl STILL looks good.  She and I share the same birthday (March 27) for we were born on the same day of the same year. Now I don't know what time she was born be it that Sunday morning, afternoon, evening or what. I was born that Sunday morning. I figured whenever I meet her, I'll ask her.  [Edited 9/3/09 0:06am] SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Hate that whispering thing she does in the chorus, but it wasn't that bad actually. Better than I was expecting. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ

I agree her cover of "The Beautiful Ones" was HOT! I never cared for Dru Hill but it worked very well as a duet. Just wish she would have sang more of the song with the powerful vocal she delivered towards the end of the song.
"Lovin You" would have made a better cover than "I Want To Know". But, I'm afraid she probably would have whispered through the whole thing. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

A simple cover without her half naked body is really unusual, and I love it! Should have been the album cover

She needs a brick to the head whenever she starts that whispering.
