samhexum Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) ORIGINAL: EXCELLENT COVER: AWFUL COVER: How unimpressive. But of course anything Elaine Paige has ever done since CHESS is bound to be a let-down. So are they gonna mangle Lonely Boy and the MAD ABOUT YOU theme, too? (all written by Andrew Gold) I could’ve sworn Johnny Mathis was dead. Are they sure it was him recording? How come Jason Bateman’s father in law gets next to last billing on the cover? Never mind... I just realized they alphabetized by FIRST name. How is it possible an album of duets was recorded and Tony Bennett was not involved? I assume Idina Menzel was asked to do this before her Geico commercial ran… I couldn’t believe how annoying a Broadway star’s voice could be… so grating. Edited January 2, 2021 by samhexum

samhexum Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Is it still considered an excellent cover if the artist does a superior version after the original?
+ MysticMenace Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Is it still considered an excellent cover if the artist does a superior version after the original? yes. the recording artist to me has to at least make the original song their own and sing it as good or better than the original for me to consider it a cover. if they did not do both, or just sang the original version well, then they just...'performed' the original song...?♂️
TruthBTold Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Is it still considered an excellent cover if the artist does a superior version after the original? Well, to me it is just two versions of one bad song. If someone else had done a version of it, then you would have had one other person doing a version of a bad song.
+ aeikaryoko Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Loved the original with Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, but I think this cover is exceptional. + MysticMenace 1
+ MysticMenace Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Loved the original with Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey, but I think this cover is exceptional. I have this on my playlist...so amazing - they kept the integrity of the melody yet had its interesting individual twists to the song. ? + aeikaryoko 1
+ MysticMenace Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Check out another cover of this song from an X-Factor Philippines audition in 2012 (cover starts at 2:00): 7/20/17 (Somewhere Over The Rainbow) Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole Judy Garland 8/12/17 edit...to add Eva Cassidy's version
TruthBTold Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Masterpiece!! Fuck, what a voice! What is her name? Stupidly, she is obviously Asian but do you know what country she is from?
+ aeikaryoko Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Fuck, what a voice! What is her name? Stupidly, she is obviously Asian but do you know what country she is from? Kim So Hyang. South Korea. She killed Whitney Houston’s If I don’t have you as well. I’m obsessed with her right now. TruthBTold 1
TruthBTold Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Kim So Hyang. South Korea. She killed Whitney Houston’s If I don’t have you as well. I’m obsessed with her right now. And her guitar player ain't bad either. + aeikaryoko 1

I texted him around the time he left Cali. No response. I assumed he just moved on. Here is a cover that is excellent for the talent of the band. The players were all 20+ year old from Hungary. thomas 1
samhexum Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 I always preferred Olivia's cover to the original thomas 1
samhexum Posted August 9, 2022 Posted August 9, 2022 I know this is blasphemous for an ABBA fan to say, but I prefer the cover: thomas 1
