R&B Guru 2009-02-01 05:45:52 Total Posts: 2527 | Ah man! I never knew Maxwell's This Woman's Work was a remake! Who did the original? Also, good look on Intro's Ribbon in the Sky. I'll add Profyle's Overjoyed to that list as well. What album did Monica cover Richard Marx on? | |||
gloomypoet 2009-02-01 08:28:27 Total Posts: 48 | Mine are: Az Yet - Hard for me to say I'm sorry Mariah Carey - Without You Beyonce - Wishing on a star Rihanna - Umbrella Whitney Houston - I'm every woman & I will always love you Aretha Franklin - Respect Lauryn Hill - No woman no cry And definitely agree on the Boyz II Men's Yesterday remake. But we should also object on the covers mutulating our beloved songs such as Britney's Prerogative(aaaaaaaaaaahhhh!) | |||
lpc26 2009-02-01 08:40:30 Total Posts: 732 | R&B Guru...Monica covered Richard Marx song on her 2nd album "The boy Is Mine". That was a beautiful song. @Gloomypoet I don't think Aretha Franklin "Respect" count as a remake unless she remade from someone else. I had no idea that Rhianna "umbrella" was a remake. That remake of "my perrogative" by brittney spears sucked to me. I think Pink would have did a better job of that song. Here are some more remakes that I like: Boyz II Men- "can you stand the rain" Boyz II men- "yesterday" Usher & Monica- "slow jam" Allure- "all cried out" Blackstreet- Love is in need (it was by stevie wonder) D'angelo & erykah Badu- your precious love Justin timberlake, Monica, Brittney Spears, and other artists- "what's going on" by Marvin Gaye | |||

gloomypoet 2009-02-01 22:37:35 Total Posts: 48 | Dear Lpc26 the song Respect was first released by Otis Redding 2 years prior to its remake by Aretha in 1967 and for Umbrella you are right I heard it by a british group where they mixed up the numbers and after thorough checking it seems they made an awful remake of the original not the other way round. Dear Guru I thought I'd hear from you by now what are your fav. covers man? | |||

R&B Guru 2009-02-02 05:51:03 Total Posts: 2527 | Gloomy, never mention Britney spear's Perogative again. Sickening song hahaha. I heard that the first time and was ready to break down and cry. I'll add onto what bunky said All 4 One - I Swear Now you guys have me wanting to check out some of the originals here. I really want to here Kate Bush's This Woman's Work as to me, Maxwell MAKES that song. | |||

R&B Guru 2009-02-02 13:49:21 Total Posts: 2527 | So I don't knw how your list made me think of this song Havok, but II D Extreme's Up On The Roof is another awesome cover! And Babyface's Not Going Nowhere is NOT a cover, but it's on a cover album. And that song is one of the best. So I'll include it. | |||
