Wilson Phillips' cover of GYOW

[Cammie]

Hi Lis! Yes, it was certainly very unusuall!
Miss the hurt and anger! But as some say, if
one had not heard Lindsey's version one would
appreciate this more!!! Lindsey Rocks!!! Sky

[Johnny Stew]

I have to admit, it's actually not bad at all.
Perhaps it's because I was expecting something awful... or maybe I'm just happy to finally have the taste of Cranberries out of my mouth.

Nothing can ever top FM/Lindsey's version, of course, but I like the fact that they re-interpreted it.
I've always felt that if you're going to cover a song, you should make it your own, and do something fresh with it... otherwise, don't bother.

So, for what it is, it's pretty good!

Amen!
(EDIT: Um, apparently posting just 'Amen' is too short! lol <-- Well here's some more words!)

Yeah, doing something different with a remake, definitely doesn't mean it'll turn out right!

But since they at least tried, they get bonus points.

Exactly Johnny. I think either do it remarkably better or make something really different. Unfortunately covers are often used by performers running out of ideas or even more by performers who don't write their own stuff but get produced by some "production factory" people. Often it's just a copy or karaoke show. Then they get praised by their often very young fans who often even don`t know that it`s not their own work.
For this one- yes they changed it so the approach is O.K. The result- well it doesn't bother or annoy me but that`s all I could say.

I heard this on the radio today...on KVIL in Dallas, which is a light rock station. They play Rhiannon and Dreams sometimes. I do hope it's a hit.

Ummmm....Well, they made it different.

The vocals are pretty, but they should have done YMLF or something.

[Cammie]

AMEN!!! Wonder what Brian thinks!!!
Next time try YMLF or BTLHim!!!Sky

[iamstevienicks]

The chorus is realy quite 'nice' but the verses are so wrong, so so wrong!!

Its nice enough but doesnt quite work, this is based on one listen opinion might change

[iamstevienicks]

The CD single is released on May 18th so that may have some better versions on it???

[iamstevienicks]

Hmm and its only a B side as the extra track

Hmm and it doesn't even look like Wilson Phillips. Where's China Phillips?!

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Chynna is on the right, Carnie is in the middle (blond now as well as slim) and Wendy is on the left

[shackin'up]

well, the fact that it's different doesn't make it good. Drizzle. It doesn't give any new feel. It takes away the original feel and replaces nothing. Yes, ChiliD. Perfect for the elevator in fancy but faceless hotels.

barf.
