Surely a remix, if the song is largely in tact, is just a different approach and arrangement of the same song?
The original artist is still at the heart of the performance.
A cover, is a cover, a different artist is doing their version of it.0 -
Takes too long to get going IMO. A shorter version of the remix may well be the best of the lot but what do I know... 😉kingstongraham said:
Remix of a cover version.
(I think the cover version is better than the original, and the remix better than both.)The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Don't know what you mean - it's only 5 minutes in that it stops completely for about 20 seconds before the singing starts.pblakeney said:

IMO the "intro" is too long, drawn out and repetitive without variation.kingstongraham said:

It is just my opinion though and I like progression or variation. Each to their own.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Hey now - London grammar (arty remix). I would love if they could do something similar to Billie eilish - everything I wanted.0

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles recorded the first version of "I heard it through the grapevine". Not sure if that makes Marvin Gaye's version a cover.0

Dream a Little Dream of Me by Mama Cass. A opposed to Doris Day and Ozzie Nelson.0

Something stupid - Robbie Williams and Kylie.
I actually quite like it!0 -
Yeah it's ok but doesn't compare the Frank and Nancy's version IMHO.shirley_basso said:Something stupid - Robbie Williams and Kylie.

It's fine, but the original is something else. Gives me tingles.skyblueamateur said:0 -
It is. And if I'm honest I prefer the original due to Spectors production. I just wanted to post for Lee Hazelwoods fine moustache.kingstongraham said:

This made me go and seek out other versions of this with Cait o'Riordan. What a voice.skyblueamateur said:

Here's one (not sure if I've posted on this thread): "Wil Horses" by The Sundays was much better than the Rolling Stones' original.
But then, most 'Stones' songs are improved by covers. See: "No Expectations" by Soulsavers.
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -
Wild Horses by Susan Boyle was seriously good as well. Seriously.secretsam said:Here's one (not sure if I've posted on this thread): "Wil Horses" by The Sundays was much better than the Rolling Stones' original.

I remember when the film version of Les Mis came out and Nicky Campbell asked whether the version of I Dreamed A Dream by Anne Hathaway was as good as the Susan Boyle version as though that was the definitive performance of it when it has been sung by pretty much all of the world's best female musical theatre performers (and some of the male ones). I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic.kingstongraham said:

Yeah, that's not the best version of that, but I seriously think her version of wild horses is the best I've heard.Pross said:

I would love to hear Susan Boyle sing Crazy Horses, doing the synth noise herself.1 -
You say Wild Horses, Susan Boyle says Wild hoss'
It is also a guilty pleasure of mine. Great version.0 -
I once said the same on another forum, and was roundly lambasted for it!joe2019 said:After The Goldrush - Prelude
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2Taxuott5s
I heard the Prelude version first, and I didn't realise there was another version for years (it's so easy in the days of the internet to find things out like that). I still think this version is superior musically, Neil Young sounds like he couldn't carry the tune in a bucket in comparison.
The older I get, the better I was.0 -
MM Minor just played me Postmodern Dukebox’s “Whoops I did it again” sung by Haley Rheinhart.
Night and day (don’t let the Brittany Spear’s version put you off)
