I don’t understand why people are buying Carrey, Houston, Dion, and the lot. Haven’t these people ever heard of: Ella Fitzgerald Nina Simone Chris Connor Una Mae Carlisle Bessie Smith Billie Holliday ? ---

Did you guys see the latest version of the song in question. Yes, she actually did a COVER of a 2 month old COVER. But this time, she isn´t alone. Nope. She combines her incredible heaps of talent (read altered boobs) with those of the also incredibly gifted lads of WESTLIFE. Yes. Westlife. Those pathetic little vibrato morons that make albums faster than Frank Zappa takes a shit. The fucking horror, I tell you. I´m sure even Phil `Quick Buck´ Collins is having second thoughts at this stage. ---

don’t they have on bottles of poison the label that reads “to induce vomiting, play maria cary songs” and don’t they kill animals that sound like her singing, just to put them out of their misery? ---

I’d like see if Pariah could sing if you tied her hands down. Whats up with her waving her free hand all the time when she sings? Is this supposed to show emotion? She is MTV trash. Nice rant Coldfire. ---

I’ve got two questions: 1. Where the hell did Nina Hagen come from all of a sudden, and; 2. Why is she shagging Simone? But you’re right, John **Lear** igan 😉 ---

hey, come on now…Mariah Carey has the best voice that i have EVER heard! The way she sings makes me jealous…i wish i could belt out those notes as well as she can! i have been a fan of her since 1997 when i was only 16. i heard her hitting those notes [no…not the ‘screeching car’ ones] but those powerful ones that just made the song totally great! if you’re looking at her appearance and bitchin about her because of that and ripping on her singing, you better give the songs she sings [or covers] and try to find someone as good as her! christina, faith, brandy, stevie nicks, sheryl crow, dido…NO ONE! granted…these people sing well…but nothing like mariah…and whitney…i don’t even wanna go there, cause ‘iiiiiii, will always hate her’ 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by PammySPY \* > **i wish i could _belt_ out those notes as well as she can!** You misspelled “belch”. And welcome aboard - just don’t expect too many people to share your taste in music in THIS particular thread 😉 I’m gonna go easy on you - but an experienced poster would get a serious ass-kicking for even VAGUELY SUGGESTING that Mariah Carey can sing better than Stevie Nicks. But hey, let’s give the newbie a break. ---

Gah. Stevie Nicks? Even _Mariah Carey_ sings better than Stevie “gutteral, kinda incoherent, basso sotte” Nicks. Then again, maybe it’s just Fleetwood Mac en toto which makes me want to puke. Still, Mariah sucks ass. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Amok \* > > Do you know if Collins did give her permission to cover the song? It wouldn’t suprise me if he did, and that’s probably what happened (I’m sure Phil enjoys money as much as the next guy), but it is [possible](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_324b.html) that she recorded and released it without his permission. Anyways, just curiosity on my part. > \*\* If Phil didn’t write it, he don’t need to give permission to someone else to record it. And I think he deserves any pain he might get from hearing a bad cover after he did that shit remake of “True Colors.” ---

I thought Mariah was ok when she released her first album in 1989. Then she got scary and unlistenable. She tries to emulate Minnie Ripperton(whom I don’t care for anyway), and makes people’s heads explode like she was the weapon in the movie Scanners. Then she goes all out hooker after her divorce from Tommy Motolla(made immortal in the song Cherchez La Femme). I am innundated with information about this mediocre talent via all forms of the media and it is tiresome. I think that Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilara, Britney Spears, Whiney Houston, The Spice Girls, and their ilk should be put on a firing squad with the rifle holding singers being: The Glorious Nina Simone The Amazing Etta James The Phenomenal Annie Ross The Demi-Goddess Annie Lennox The Real Colatura Pat Benatar The Real Disco Queen Gloria Gaynor The Winsome Sarah McLachlan and The Entrancing Kate Bush They will be armed with hollow point, teflon coated, heat seeking bullets. Then they will sing Ave Maria. Yee-ha. ---

A-fucking-men. I would like to add **Tremendous Tori Amos** to the firing squad, though. ---
