Get it out of m head... it hurts!!

Bloody Gary soddin' Davies.

It's been around since 2008 apparently. I have never heard it before. I was happy then!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

AIBU to scream and scare the neighbours?

What a crap cover version.

donquixotedelamancha · 08/04/2021 12:19

It's been around since 2008 apparently.

It really feels very 80s. That's a strong contender for worst cover of all time.

Why would you post this, OP? What did we ever do to you?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 12:27

I felt the need to divest myself of some of the horror.

If I have to suffer so should you - ALL OF YOU Halo

I've sent it to a number of my friends now as I feel they need to share the misery.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 12:35

That's the ticket Grin

I may Facebook it, REALLY share it round!

Dogscanteatonions · 08/04/2021 12:43

I would. It's only fair tbh

FuzzyPuffling · 08/04/2021 12:44

Howling, warbling, swooping......
Noooooooo.

floridamanatee · 08/04/2021 12:46

It's been around a lot longer than 2008. I first heard this on an album I had in about 1996.

Fontella · 08/04/2021 12:48

I'm scared to click on the link! Confused

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 12:48

You OWNED this?

Wow!

floridamanatee · 08/04/2021 12:54

That's the one!

ShinyMe · 08/04/2021 12:58

I just heard this on the radio and was getting really frustrated at how terrible her diction was. Could hardly make out any of the lyrics.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 12:58

TWO OF YOU!

And I am ignoring the aptly name poster who is clearly bereft!

Be fair @ShinyMe It's Celine Dion. You can never hear the words Smile

DH worked in Nigeria in the 90s and brought back the Nigerian pronounciation of her name, as best as I can, Slin Gin. Which has stuck in our family Grin

Do I love you, my oh my?
Damn you!

OwlBeThere · 08/04/2021 13:07

Hmm, yeah. I mean objectively speaking I can say I know she has an amazing voice. But it’s just not for me. The same as most of those ‘diva’ type singers, Mariah, Whitney, even Beyoncé doesn’t really do it for me (halo being the exception).

OwlBeThere · 08/04/2021 13:09

@ShinyMe at least she has the excuse of English not being her first language, dunno what Ariana Grande’s excuse is. That girl infuriates me with mumbling.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 08/04/2021 13:09

@CuriousaboutSamphire

You OWNED this?

Wow!

The album sold about 2 million copies in the UK alone. I imagine a lot of people own it.
PrudenceDictates · 08/04/2021 13:09

MUST...RESIST... TEMPTATION...

Bollocks 😞

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 13:10

I said, and was shouted at, on the Best/worst singer thread a while ago that I thought Dion is not a good singer. She has a distinct sound but also has a lot of those vocal ticks that vocal coaches work very hard to get rid of... eeeeeoooo for any u sound, for example. It's not her accent, she does the same when she sings in French too (her Eurovision song, for example)!

Wingedharpy · 08/04/2021 13:10

I'm with @Crazycakelady17😁
I do have a soft spot for Ms Dion though.
"Immortality" by her and the BeeGees is truly gorgeous and the stuff of goosebumps (not the video though, that's just naff).

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/04/2021 13:11

Now now, don't go getting serious @StillCoughingandLaughingStill
