The lyrics suck, but her vocal is awesome! That girl can sing.

Celine Dion sucks.

I love them, too, and my tastes are pretty crazy. Karen's voice was sooo gorgeous.

I need to download some Carpenters songs for when my iPod gets here. I'm so cool.

I hate "Let Her Cry" by Hootie & The Blowfish.

"In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins also makes me want to be sick whenever I hear it.

On the other hand, I? LOVE Donna Summer's version of MacArthur Park!

And for the record, "Turn the Page" is my all time favorite Bob Seger song and I will NEVER forgive Metallica for ruining it.

I'm with ya, Vicky.

I like Rod's cover of that.

And, how can you say ANY "countrified" version a Stevie Nicks song is "SO wrong" when Stevie's roots are in country? Just listen (hard) to how many of Stevie's songs ARE basically country chord changes & feel...MOST of 'em.

Yes, I do. But, not in the way that Celine Dion sucks.

I know that her roots are in country, but so are LeAnn Rimes', and she hasn't always stuck with it.

"Stand Back" is a good example, IMO. What if there were a country version of that? What about "I Can't Wait" or "Sister Honey" or "If Anyone Falls"? I don't think those work at all. JMO.


EDIT: Also, I think that there are some Stevie songs that are very uniquely Stevie and I wouldn't really approve of any remakes. I think "Rhiannon," is one of those, as well as "Edge of Seventeen" and probably "Trouble in Shangri-La," too. If I were a famous singer (oh how nice that would be) I would cover something else besides those because I would be embarrassed to cover those. I might do "That's Alright." Or maybe "Think About It"....yeah. Sorry, I got caught up in the fantasy.

Look, I suck at comebacks so this is not working.

Have those "Pickin' On" guys done a Stevie Nicks album yet? If not, it's just around the corner.

Oh, I edited my post, but it just turned into my usual ridiculous drivel, so don't get excited. Not that you would.

Anyway, I don't think I've ever actually listened to one of those "Pickin' On" CDs, though I've seen quite a few of them. What are they like?

[GateandGarden]

I thought of another bad song that I don't think has been mentioned-

Lionel Richie's "Dancin' on the Ceiling"

Not to worry, you and I and Celine all suck at something.

My favorite Celine Dion Sucks Moment was during the rehearsals for the first VH1 Divas Live. Carole King (who is the complete opposite of Celine Dion) was sitting at the piano rehearsing "You've Got A Friend" with Celine, Gloria Estafan, and Shania Twain. In the midst of rehearsing, Carole decides to go over a particular vocal part- Celine decides to do her typical over-emoting by taking the phrase and adding multiple-gymnastics-notes and Carole stops her dead her tracks and says, "No, no, no- just one note. Not a lot of notes- just one note." You could tell that Carole was irritated by the whole thing.

I was like Goldie Hawn's character from Death Becomes Her, where she was watching the Madeline Ashton movie where Madeline is being strangled to death. Helen (Goldie's character) keeps rewinding the tape over and over and over to savor the moment.
