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
?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHGHGHGHGHH!!!
Thud.
<death by aneurism>
Sheesh. Not everybody has 45" monitors, Wonko!
Just to make sure we all keep the hate alive:
And for good measure:
Enjoy!!! At least there’s no sound.
Major Magdalene - Commander Foxtrot Company, Heavy Weapons, 19th Battalion Landing Team (F/19 GC)
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.
Oh behalf of the Irish Nation I would like to apologise for the abomination that is WESTLIFE and while I’m at it stick BOYZONE onto that list.
Their boring , look at me I’m gorgeous no talent way of doing things is a embarrassment to all right thinking mick’s .
Please when you think about Irish music think :
Van Morrison
Thin Lizzy
Rory Gallagher
U2
Some of Sinead O’ Connor
The Dubliners
The Chieftans
Bob Geldolf ( condolences Bob )
and many more …
You forgot the Pogues. Oh wait. The London Irish don’t count eh 
ducks rocks
But we appreciate the apology.
westlife, feh.
Enough said.
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?
Has anyone seen the Pop-up Video of her and Aretha (a real diva) where the Queen of Soul outsings and outdivas that little dog-whistle piece of shit?
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.
Maria Carey? I’ve got 2 words:
Nina fuckin’Simone
I’ve got two questions:
- Where the hell did Nina Hagen come from all of a sudden, and;
- Why is she shagging Simone?
But you’re right, John Learigan
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’ 
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.
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.
Way to miss that glove, Coldfire. You must have experienced a sudden wave of common sense.
