Vote Your Least Fave!

Starting off first with Cabin Crew for me!

 

I do hope Ricky and Christina can stay in for a bit as I like that a lot and fear it'll be targeted early.

Awful Cabin Crew fake version of a cover that isn’t even that good anyway.

 

DMX to last as long as possible please!

Another list of songs I mostly like (though not very familiar with the first 2 so will need to refresh - pretty straightforward vote for Akon first.

 

I never remember which version of 'Star To Fall'/'Falling Stars' is which ngl but it's a good song either way x

Akon and Eminem first for me.

 

As I recall, Cabin Crew actually had the idea for the Waiting For A Star To Fall sample first, they just couldn't clear the original sample due to label politics so got the original vocalist from Boy Meets Girl to re-record his vocal.

 

But a little later, Sony then asked Sunset Strippers to produce a version and the sample was cleared (as I think both acts were on the same label?). That's as I remember it, but in this case I'm sure that was actually the cheeky cash in hijacking someone else's idea, it just became more popular in the end. Cabin Crew wasn't a fake version though.

 

I have always been one of the few in the camp of preferring Cabin Crew as I dislike the production on Sunset Strippers personally.

Ah apologies to Cabin Crew then and I stand corrected.

 

However I’m still not keen on either version and Boy Meets Girl >>>.

 

Akon and Eminem would be 2nd for me so happy for that to go; just really hope it isn’t DMX.

Yeah that's fair, also Mylo used the sample well with In My Arms as far as dance remakes go, also the same year I think? Not sure why it was so popular all of a sudden.

 

Hopefully DMX will stick around for a bit, it's a classic of its genre (but then so was The Next Episode :drama:)

Smack That

I'm all for any songs sampling 'Waiting For A Star To Fall' tbh.

Pendulum

Cabin Crew.

 

Not fussed about it in either version.

Nobody Wants To Be Lonely

DMX meh!

Madonna - Die Another Day

Nobody Wants To Be Lonely

Ricky Martin here.

Pendulum

Akon an easy first pick, I'm not sure which version of Star To Fall I know, but I've never minded it much, even if it's nothing on the original (and Mylo's In My Arms is better than both of them x)

I think Ricky Martin is just about the worst, although it was close with Akon.
