Subject: Mariah Carey needs to be stopped

you'd think they'd at least get the year right.. 1983 not 1993..

The review made the record seem all right. I must say, Mariah has good taste in cover tunes. She doesn't have very good skill at covering tunes, of course, I'm staying far far away from this one, but what can you do? At least she has the good sense to stay away from covering an all-out classic like "American Pie" or "Satisfaction," unlike some of her peers.

This musical chaos of cover after cover will never end, will it? ::)
I can only come up with one word for this particular case -
Sacrilege.
Wait until TV9 hears about this! :o

Actually, that's wrong, too. That's because "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" was off of Def Leppard's 1981 album, High 'n' Dry, not 1983's Pyromania. But the song wasn't actually a hit until the Summer of '84, when the High 'n' Dry album was re-issued w/ a new remix of "BotH" (which was then released as a commercial single), and the extra track, "Me & My Wine". So the correct answer is 1984...

yup.. I was going to say maybe it hit earlier in the UK, but according to my book it never even charted in the UK..

Now...if she starts covering hair metal bands and re-hashing their hits...the music industry is officially dead. Mariah can sing, no argument there...but they have NO new material to work with. Puffy saw to that. It's bad enough that they decimated the old seventies soul music and sampled the 80s to death...now they're moving in on classic metal?
Hmmm...I wonder if Puffy would do a cover of Metallica's 'One' if they'd let him... ;)

That, and The Police's Roxanne...
The cover they did of Every Step You Take was done for a good cause...but now that's ALL it is...they take a song, rehash the beat, add some new riffs..and BANG...new #1 for the next four days
