Anyone else over 20 slightly disturbed by Bobby Brown songs being covered
Ms. Spears is on my tv doing My Perogetive at the moment...something not right about that song EVER being covered by anyone in any serious manner.
oh feck the next song is some new club version of Hungry Eyes...this industry is dead. |
What scares me more is that songs I rocked to in High school (early 80's) are now in the mix on "classic rock" stations :helpme
|
It's been a sad trend for a few years though - classics getting badly covered and hitting the charts. You sit there and wonder why the hell they bothered especially when the 'new' version sounds so similar (but never quite as good) as the original.
The worst cover I've heard in recent years was the dance type remix of a Floyd track. That was just scary. |
yeah but it has reached the point where songs that sucked the first time are being covered
|
"yeah but it has reached the point where songs that sucked the first time are being covered"
Well, i can't say Bobby Brown is an icon of our youth, lol, so, yeah, I'd say so, lol |
I closed the door on mainstream music years ago. My car radio seldom leaves the AM news/talk stations.
|
I heard that loser BB has a new reality show coming out.

i was in love with bobby brown when i was 15
|
She just needs to admit to the tit job and then go about her shitty life and die already
|
Something else I find more disturbing, is the cover of Cameo's song by Korn - 'word up' C'mawwwwwn.
I think Brit's doing it cuz of the whole getting married and shit, the title of the song is only fitting, still no excuse tho...has she written any of her music? |

Britney is soooooooooo awful!!! Bobby must be happy to be making money again though.

I think people are missing the point of why she did the song. She did not do it cause she's running out of fresh ideas (she's got a team around her , that will never happen). She did it to give a message.......GET OUT OF MY FUCKING BUSINESS AND LEAVE ME ALONE, IT'S MY PEROGATIVE. That's the point of the song. I think it's dope that she did it and i feel her frustration. When you're a celebrity your life is a fish bowl and every little detail is blown up 10 times bigger than it is. It kinda sucks. Then people say - "oh well you knew that was gonna happen when you got into the industry". This may be true but that does not make it right. Not to mention if music is what you love to do and it's all you know - you're kinda stuck. Then they say "oh well she has money that should make it better"...No amount of money can make up for youe piece of mind. You can be Bill Gates rich, but if you're on the verge of going crazy it does not matter. Cut Britney some slack people, she's just a normal human being trying to make it thru life just like the rest of us. No one is perfect and we all do dumb shit sometimes, it's just that no one has a bull horn announcing our mess-ups to the world.

There is no stopping to the bastards that make covers..........

The "I dont recommend anything in my signature" tag is nice. Very funny. I'm not here to spam or try to send you guys to some business venture of mine. I do buy and sell traffic but i'm here because this place is interesting. Once there was "i wandered here by accident" or something along those lines next to my name. Thats a negative also, i've known about this board for some years now. I just recently decided to jump in and add my 2 cents here and there. Maybe i'm to out spoken, sometimes my opinion may not be warranted but i see some really crazy things in here some times so I say what i think. As long as the moderator is having fun changing the tag under my name, i guess that's all that counts right.

I hate recycled music, especially music that sucked the first time it came out

Confused? If that's how you took my post then that's great! I dont know how the moderator works so i had no idea that your tag changes depending on your number of posts. Excuse my ignorance.
By the way, The Skillz are Unlimited always will be..... dont sleep. |

One of the guys was so ashamed that he had tried to commit suicide. :( Sad thing that the real Milli Vanilli voices never became famous. |

okay #1 the song sucked balls the first time around #2 she deserved to have her vocal chords ripped out when she covered I Love Rock and Roll (which I know was a cover in the first place). #4 Please, she needs the press like puppy needs its shots. #3 Do you run her fan club? |

Was the original any good? May have to try and track it down on Ares now as I'm curious. |

Just giving you a hard time. :-) |

lol..yes, I knew that was awkward as I was typing it..lol |

Yeah it is pretty good. It is a male group so it has a slightly different vibe. My husband liked the Arrows so we always have a friendly fight over which version is the best. You are right, I shouldn't know this stuff but I do. I just found out Toni Basil's 'Hey Mickey' is a cover. Go figure. |

Actually it is fairly similar other than that it is done by a man and it called 'Hey Vicky' or something like that. I heard it on a great radio show/website crapfromthepast.com Letting people know that Tainted Love was not original to Soft Cells does appear to be one of my missions in life too. |
Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town My car is fast, my teeth is shiney I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie Here I am at a famous school I'm dressin' sharp 'n I'm Actin' cool I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper Let her do all the work 'n maybe later I'll rape her Oh God I am the American dream I do not think I'm too extreme An' I'm a handsome sonofabitch I'm gonna get a good job 'n be real rich (Get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job) Women's Liberation Came creepin' across the nation I tell you people, I was not ready When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie She made a little speech then, Aw, she tried to make me say when She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick Oh God I am the American dream (P.U.) But now I smell like Vaseline An' I'm a miserable sonofabitch Am I a boy or a lady . . .
