Covers that were better than the original

Adore them? I don’t even have Carpenters posters on my wall or listen to them Daily. I expressed they are my favorite artist. We ALMOST al have a favorite. Due to musicianship and/or emotional sentemantality.

If anything I play Beatles and have more memorabilia for them then Carpenters lol. I got Beatles books, tour guides from the 60s, the original butcher cover, playing cards, calendars... A shoe Ringo Starr lost off stage. (You can imagine why I bought that.) autographs, 3-5 copies of each album and from different countries (thousands yes.)

The only stuff from Carpenters every album on every format including reel to reel if it exists as I’m an audiophile (I hate digital.) I have every fan club letter every tour guide and that’s it. Nothing fancy.

I think the type of person you’re referring to is someone who is so obsessed it’s all they listen to, and have it plastered all over their house and car. I’m not one of those.

I think we can agree there have been some misunderstands and all and I’d like to move on so we can be friends and not have negative energy. I love talking about covers. :-)

You don't get that I have no problem with them, I do like them; my problem is the same problem I have in that sort of situation: my "problem" is with the people who adore them. It's a logic that applies to everything up to a case like Trump being a POTUS: my problem is not with his fundamental nothingness, but with the people that allowed him to be on top of things, just like with people who make The Carpenters great artists, or Kanye West an all time "legitimate" best-selling singer, as if he had more artistic talent than his wife.
I didn't say of imply anything about people being "dumb": "clueless", "lost", is not the same as "dumb" or "idiotic". As for being very popular in Japan, I do not need to come up with anything: the English language as an expression for that already.

Very befitting a redneck sensibility :cool: very blanket-curtains sort of aesthetic sensibility :mrgreen:

Ignoring the crappy 1984-1995 musical frills:

I have a MAJOR weakness for rednecks :-p That’s one of the reasons I’ve been exposed to country.

Right, because those are two totally different things, worlds apart.

Ah, so you are one of those who'd better live in a world with no electricity: no negative charges whatsoever. To me, Beatlesfetishism is pure negation of music: pure negativity :cool: :mrgreen:

^ two different songs. Dolly's has soul that Whitney's doesn't. To me, Dolly's tells a story, Whitney just sings it. Really well, but her soul isn't in it like in Dolly's version. If you understand what I mean.

Ultimately, what you may find so compelling about Parton's version is that she makes it more obvious that the song is about to ex-fuckbuddies, while Whitney's is the version that people prefer to play at funerals... popularity being a test for its perceived quality, according to certain people :cool: :mrgreen:
 
Nekrofilth's version is much more raw and messy, I like that.

Apart from the more obvous fact that Dolly sounds like a plain gal who can sing out her plaint, while Houston is a very skilled singer with a full voice from the very first breath in her singing: it's precisely because Dolly Parton's singing is not as clear and powerful (that 1974 is a better example of it), that it is less "musical", that one might find it more "real". It's like what happens to common people with verse and prose.

Yes DOlly DOes not have the power but Dolly wrote this song from her heart when she was leaving a counrty and wester TV and Radio SHow. Whitney had the voice so what!

So the voice is all in a singer: if you have the heart and the words, but not the lungs and the brains, just let anyone else sing it.
Ali prefers Dolly's version because her small naked voice sounds more "real", more "natural", more like just a plain girl expressing a feeling. It's the sort of people who can't "feel" art unless it "resembles" something and, for them, in Whitney's singing there is too much going on in the vocal department for them to relate aesthetically and emotionally. That's that.

Have we really skipped, so far, this classical example of what the title of the thread is asking for?

 
I'll add this one :lol:



Virtually anything produced by The Holy Beatles sounds better in whatever version... especially when you scrap the singing :rolleyes: :cool:



Because then you can (however hopelessly) try to put to actual music to the... original... musical... effort.
 
I don't know if it is better or worse than the original but it is so different:
