for STEALING from Aretha's Aint no way. And making it a lifeless souless diva excercize.

But-but-but Bon Scott said hell ain't a bad place to be.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

They can go to supper clubs, then.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

What if they serve a reasonable champagne there?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Feh. The point is I won't be there. Man, when was the last lively, soulful diva exercise? "Hit 'Em Up Style" by Blu Cantrell?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh, no. Not that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Patti labelle?

― robert lashley (brotherman), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:45 (twenty-two years ago)

You wanna get Alicia for ripping off Carole King in the same song, too? (PS - it's a great song; I guess I know why, now.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Dirrrty.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― Robbie Turner, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

ouch

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

aint you got a klan meeting to go to bitch!
Go say that shit in a black neighborhood and see if you have all your limbs.

― robert lashley (brotherman), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

And what does Keep up motherfucker. Be in touch with your frightfully ignorant, culturally backward Angry white rock critic standards. No bitch, you keep up, or at least try and get a little bit of culture.

― robert lashley (brotherman), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

WHEN CANONS COLLIDE!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

If Aretha is good then nicking from her is also good, at least potentially.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

oh cool it dude no black people listen to aretha, only middle-aged white guys who feel guilty.

we want less soul, less life, more plasticity, more artifice!

― Robbie Turner, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

no black people listen to aretha

I take back anything I ever said about David Allen's statements on the thread on "feminist rants" being the stupidest shit ever, because this clearly wins that race (for last place).

― hstencil, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

This one's for Ned:

Hey LADIEEEZ
If your man's gonna get buck-wild
Just throw back hit-'em-up style
Get your hands on his cash
And spend it to the last dime
For all the hard times

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

All I can think of is that damn arrangement and her annoying way of singing. No and no again.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

And I paaaaaid
All the bills about a month too laaate
It's a shame we have to play theese gaaames

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Ned surely you jest, that's a wonderful song! Besides which Kevin Shields wrote it and the riff is actually a heavily processed Butler guitar bit from a Dog Man Star outtake

well, I tried

― J0hn Darn13ll3 (J0hn Darn13ll3), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice try, John. (And no, never liked it from the first time I heard it. Sounded like a really bad showtune backed by those fuckers in the Squirrel Nut Zippers after having been sent through a blender...finally.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I am confused. Does this mean that Bernard Butler has more soul than Aretha Franklin?

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, he knows he's gotta move with the times, for you to be miiiine (his), you to be miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.... (his, not mine)

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I think its her hysterical emoting over the word "ladies" near the end that makes it the last diva exercise I genuinely enjoyed.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Does this mean that Bernard Butler has more soul than Aretha Franklin?

These are strange times according to some.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps the end times, what with the turmoil in the middle east and asia.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 18:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Welllll, no...not really. But not for reasons of race or ethics.
If one makes a sucky cover of a great song by a great artist, they should be held accountable for their lack of quality control. A sucky cover is a sucky cover is a sucky cover.

― Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Custos what does the word "potentially" mean?

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I was agreeing with the "potentially" part, Tom.

― Lord Custos Omega (Lord Custos Omega), Wednesday, 15 January 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Are we talking about the Keys song that sounds like "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman"?

― Curtis Stephens, Wednesday, 15 January 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, it's like the same song...

Curtis, they mean "Impossible" by Christina.

― Stuart, Sunday, 19 January 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Like, "Impossible! For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage!" Impossible?

― jm (jtm), Sunday, 19 January 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

yellow pumpkin? squash?

― keith (keithmcl), Sunday, 19 January 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Aretha Franklin's version of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" = great

En Vogue's version of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" = GREATER
