I think the original is $h!t.

Love it. Love it. :heart: IT!

neither were GA :lol:

 

tbh, I can't see why people love the original so much :blink: I find it pretty bland

 

It's anything but bland imo. It has a great raw sound in it unlike this over-produced mess of a cover. The original is an absolute classic, and one of the first rock/rap collaberations. One of the best songs of the 80's imo. :wub:

Oh dear! http://bestsmileys.com/eek/3.gif

 

Not the best cover version I've ever heard!!! :arrr:

Whether it's charity records, dance remixes or whatever...when is this incessant need to do cover versions going to stop....can't people write original songs anymore!!! :unsure:

can't people write original songs anymore!!! :unsure:

I can only name about 3/4 artists of the top of my head who do that :lol:

can't people write original songs anymore!!! :unsure:

 

Pop stars of today seem to be so lazy and just do nothing other than ruin classics songs. :( Westlife would do a better cover of this song. :lol:

Correct Scotty, the Run DMC/Aerosmith version is a totally classic and seminal track... Nu Metal/Rock Rap/Gangsta Rap got all their ideas from this tune... Anything but bland... Frankly, if you think the 80s version is bland then you're either dead from the neck up or your brain's been infected by so much manufactured MUZAK then you dont even know what good music is anymore....

Personally I thought Band Aid was a $h!t song with good lyrics, however this is the best Comic Relief song made imo because every single one of them in the past have been complete c**p but I do think fairly highly of this one. I realise that this topic is about the song but even anyone who doesn't like this song or them as a band must admit that Sugababes really do have great vocal talent and that is definitley proven when you see them live, they do actually really work hard at what they do and are the best pop act around in the current market imo. This is coming from someone who isn't a fan of pop music in paticular but Sugababes are just brilliant at what they do imo. :)

Exactly my thoughts too on Sugababes, without them this would sound alot worse

 

All Saints were the 90's lad's girlband and now it's Sugababes for '00's. And yeah they are talented which is why they don't make manufactured chaff

 

Just generally decent :)

Definitley agree with that, All Saints are quite underrated currently though but as such I think they're attempting to sound similar to Sugababes now when it would have been better had they maybe stuck to what they were good at, that way Sugababes would have their own style which they were good at and so would All Saints. Having said that they have never been that dis-similar to one another in terms of sound but I just think maybe All Saints aren't having the sucess Sugababes are having is because maybe the music industry has moved on, however All Saints are still my 2nd favourite girlband. :)

I don't think All Saints are trying to sound like Sugababes AT ALL.

 

Their style is completely different to all "pop" at the moment imo.

'Rock Steady,' really did sound very alike to a Sugababes single to me.

Well it sounded like a Girls Aloud track to other people and i couldn't see that.

 

What Sugababes song did it sound like?

It wasn't any Sugababes song in paticular I just thought it sounded a lot like something Sugababes would make, it was probably closest to 'Hole In The Head.'

 

I didn't understand the Girls Aloud comparision at all though. :lol:

I honestly can't see any difference between HITH and RS. :P

I presume you mean resemblence as difference would mean that you agreed with me that they sounded similar? :unsure: :lol:
