Yeah, but the original sucked too.Originally posted by molly bloom
Madonna's American Pie- truly awful.
This is the one that does it for me. The original is brilliant, the Fugees version is the lowest form of ****e possible. How the hell did this crap win anything?The Fugees- Killing Me Softly. Why did people buy this in preference to getting Roberta Flack's original? Lassitude? Ignorance? Get Roberta Flack's version, and you also have her stunning rendition of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face on the flip side.

Lavigne is Canadian eh! Bowie is pronounced both ways. It never fails to amaze me when americans comment on other peoples pronunciation.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

it's a derogatory term used by clubbers for the the type of house music that girls in white stilettos dance in a circle around their handbags to. ie cheesy and commercial.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

Is that kinda like the "punks" I saw in the most expensive clubs in Stockholm in 1979-80 with torn designer clothes?We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

yep, people trying too hard to be in a 'scene' AFTER it gets popular and totally missing the point that its the fact people like them WERE N"T into it early on gave the movement its credibilityLast edited by reds4ever; January 10, 2003, 16:37.Comment

A couple of years ago some R&B group did a Bohemian Rhapsody cover. I heard it once or twice, but, God, I'd rather die than listen to that ****e again.
I also think JXL's version of A Little Less Conversation was vastly overrated. I liked it at first, but when I heard the original I really just didn't see the point of it. The only innovative part Junkie XL added was the "electronica intermezzo", and that was just the part I didn't like.

Eh. if you liked a certain genre of music so much that you wanted to be become a musician, does it matter that everyone all of sudden likes that genre by the time you become an artist? Do you need to shoot yourself in the head like Kurt Cobain if you get too popular? What a dumbass Kurt is btw...Originally posted by Sagacious Dolphin

What people like and what you like should not have anything to do with it. And besides as reds4ever said, theres always money fame and grouppies. And if it doesn't matter to you, good. Butjust remember that the guy next to you really shouldn't care what you think either. Let him sing high pitch like a moron. It's all good~
just... get away... from me. 
This is true. But world is not always fair, and people also have different tastes.I know a lot of bands that are better and more original, but they don't get the exposure that Pop Idols get (for numerous reasons).:-pComment

going back to remixes that are actually better than original that was pages ahead... Christina Aguilera's "What a girl wants" was horrible and no one listened to it. When they remixes it it got real popular.
So it went from unbearable^2 to just unbearable.
quite an improvement

i had this conversation with a friend a couple of days ago (he's a big Nirvana fan) i've got no sympathy for the self absorbed, torturted soul type poet. He had the world at his feet, living the life most people can only dream of, then he tops himself...what a muppet!Originally posted by Calc II

The only ways pop stars should die young are from crashing fast cars, sexually transmitted diseases or overdosing on their drug of choice!
BTW how DO you spell tortured?

Technically that wasn't a cover. Elvis Costello wrote it, even if Robert Wyatt's version was recorded first.Originally posted by Tolls
For instance, I prefer Costello's version of Shipbuilding over the original (Wyatt?)...admittedly only just.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Sure it's pronounced both ways, but not when it's David Bowie.Originally posted by SpencerH

Everybody, but Canadians, apparently, knows who the hell David Bowie is.
