"What the HECK were they thinking" Thread.

Let me start by saying I am really liking some of the new singers I'm hearing lately. That being said there is some cuts that just blow me away...in a bad way.

Exhibit ONE for your "aproval"....

Michael Buble remake on Crazy Love Special Edition Of
"Cry Me A River"

How can anyone that can sing screw that song up? Kettle Drum start??? Really? What was he thinking???

My "What the HECK were they thinking" song is Hillary Duff's track "Reach out and Touch me" where the beat from Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus was either sampled/used. Pure sacrilege IMO. Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus is an amazing song. Johnny Cash's cover was cool as was Marilyn Manson's but this horror with a corny rapper is just wrong.

I liked Marilyn Manson's cover of the Eurithmics "Sweet Dreams", at least the video where he rides a big-ass hog (animal, not a Harley) is hilarious.

I like the Joe Cocker version of "Cry Me a River" (Leon Russel arrangement).

When an artist or producer tries to put a new spin on a classic without respecting the original, it is rarely successful.

Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt" was heart-wrenching.
