Original Song vs. Revival Song :)  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. danitykane (2523)   ranked 32 out of 2,052 in music lover 3 years ago

One of my favorite artist of all time is Michael Jackson. It made my day complete whenever I hear his song being played on the radio. Then, as I opened my television I saw Fall Out Boy singing "Beat It" on MTV. I'm not really a big fan of artists doing revival songs, I always liked the original version. But the band give a little spice on the song making it more edgier thus, making me wanting the song much better. I also like the version of "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm. It got nice rock beat into it! I can't deny the fact that there are artists who give nice twist or version of my favorite songs.

Are you a fan of artist doing some song remake? Which revival songs do you liked most? and why? :)

"Weird Al" Yankovic is my favorite as far as parody songs go. In fact he did two of Michael Jackson's "Eat It" and "Fat". I don't favor other artists doing remakes. The originals or so much better

LOL! Hes funny. Yankovic style is really unique. He is a funny guy. And his videos are very entertaining.:)

Nothing beats the original I think. And I'm also not a fan of revival songs. Though I appreciate some because revival can be more better than the original. Peace! (^_^)


myLot reputation of 99/100. danitykane (2523)   ranked 32 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

I agree Shebang! Though there are really great versions now a days you can't help but like it too. Happy lotting. :)

Yeah I agree that nothing betas the original. I really hate it when someone tells a singer to take a song and make it your's. And the singer take the song, same lyrics, but different beat, or rhythm.

Just to make someone say "wow this singer is original" ahahaha

But there are exemption's for me.

I love that version of Fall Out Boy as well! You just can't help but rock to the beat of their revive.

There are artists who really make a revive song sound better than the original one. But most of the time, the original songs are better. happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. danitykane (2523)   ranked 32 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Well, you're right don! there are few remake songs i didn't like at all. But i find myself loving revival songs that has rock twist into it. :)


myLot reputation of 90/100. donsky14 (3558)   ranked 631 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

True, revives with a rock twist really sounds nice. thumbup

The original song will always be better, but some remakes are actually good, unless they butcher the song, like some of the Beatles songs remakes .


myLot reputation of 78/100. Boyetski (481)   ranked 1,053 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

Yeah. Some remakes are actually better. May I ask what beatle's song are remaked that is actually good?

Can anybody actually remake Bon Jovi Song's, or Aerosmith song's and actually sound better?


LissaLovesYou (28)  3 years ago

Mmm, i'm pretty sure i've heard some Beatles songs remakes that were good, but i've never heard a remake that sounds better than the original .


myLot reputation of 67/100. Shebang (212)  3 years ago

Really??? There's a remake of beatles songs?? I'm a huge fan of Beatles so I wonder how a remake would sound like... (",)

Michael Jackson had some very good songs and was a good dancer. It is a shame people think he is some icon


myLot reputation of 95/100. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (6932)  3 years ago

I'd rather hear Alien Ant Farm do "Smooth Criminal" than Michael Jerkson...but I think he sucked. Although it was never proved in a court of law...lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. danitykane (2523)   ranked 32 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

He is a great pop icon I think. He is very talented no matter what issues have been bombarded to him we cannot deny the fact that he made huge contribution to music around the world. :)

For me there is no one answers, it has to be case by case. Sometimes I like the remake other times I don't. One of the best remakes that I liked was As my guitar Weeps by the Beatles remade by Steavie Ray Vaun ( I also liked his version of Little Wing even though I love Jimi Hendrex )

Hi danitykane! I'm not such a fan of revival songs either until MYMP came to the music world :) I really like their revivals coz they don't twist or change the original melody or tune of the song. Plus, Juris is a great singer! :) So far my favorite from their revivals is "Power of Two". I also like their revival of "If you ask me to".


myLot reputation of 99/100. danitykane (2523)   ranked 32 out of 2,052 in music lover  3 years ago

hello veron!

Oh yeah! i love MYMP too!they have great cover songs! I like their version of "Getting Over You" and "Waiting in Vain".wub

I hate MYMP because they love butchering songs without giving credit to the original and I also thinks its inappropriate to cover a song and put in your album if the singer who sang it was still struggling on her career. I have an argument to a cousin before because he was such an MYMP and Westlife fantard, I hate those artist who do nothing but to cover songs on their albums.
