Nothing personal, but I assume The Bunton record is some trashy cover of the Petula Clark classic? Can't we just have the original? I hate unneccessary cover versions.

[GazzaBTFC]

Nah, it's in the charts

[Rick the Dick]

No "Angels" theme Gazza? Missed an opportunity for a bit of Nazareth! Not to mention The Glitter Band, Eurythmics and of course Robbie. Look forward to Saxon though!

[Dilbert]

No wonder the crowds are down !!!!

[GazzaBTFC]

Of course, some would look to shoot the "piano player", eh Dilbert?

 

Of course Rick...I was all in a hurry to get this done tonight, I forgot...I still could end with a themed song...should we win.

[Dilbert]

Not the sort of music that appeals to the older supporter, although there are one or two there from my era.

Well, you can't please all the people all the time, although I do try to please most of the people...But there is a bit of Bruce Springsteen, Level 42 and I think you will like the Coldplay track as it's the version from Rhythms Del Mundo album...which gives it a latin feel...very good version. I expect you to shake yer maraccas at that one. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

"I hate unneccessary cover versions."

 

Agreed, not a patch on the original, but it should be pointed out that Emma Bunton's version was produced primarily for the "Children in Need" event, with most of the profits going to that worthy cause.

[GazzaBTFC]

Cover versions...now there is a whole new discussion. A song is a song and in some cases the most popular isn't nessecary the original. I don't mind 'em but there are two ways to appraoch them. If you're going to be faithful to the original, then do them well...

 

If an artist is going to do them and put their stamp on them, then make it special...or unusual.

 

Then again, who is there to say what is a good version or bad version? It's a matter of taste and I would suggest that (for example)Emma Bunton's version of Downtown is not appreciated more because of who she is and the classic status of the song (the same could be said about Take That's version of The Bee Gee's "How Deep Is Your Love") than her version and the way she has done it. In my opinion, hearing the song a couple of times, it remains faithfull to the original and isn't that bad.

 

Music is really down to personal taste and there isn't really any "bad" music (well, that damn "frog" ring tone thing does "buck" the music tag, IMO). The problem is, when you have such a wide audience (like before a football match), it is difficult to please everyone. Some weeks, you please one audience...others you please another...It's a no win situation...but it's fun.

Considering the Emma Bunton song has been released to help charity organisations I hope this single was bought. If not, maybe a donation could be made.
