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

To be fair, I don't much like the Ike and Tina Turner version of this song - and I love Tina Turner.

Why did I go in for a listen? Awful. Can't stand her voice as it is.

Over 30 year ago I saw Tina Turner in concert at Wembley arena. Still remember it today and it was the best concert I have ever been to and I used to go to a lot.

I've been reading about the production of it. It was made when Phil Spector was at his height, maybe starting to be a bit passe, and believed that the producer was of paramount importance. So he walled the sound out of it. Buried her vocal so deep it needed more than a river...

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?

I think it is always the 80s in Celine Land. That's her whole appeal, probably.

.., that and feeling things more deeply than they've ever been felt before.
And being skinny, obvs.

I actually liked the first 2 minutes but then she starts sounding like a panicking sheep stuck in a bog, so I had to switch it off.

I clicked on the link. I can’t unhear it. Awful.

She is known as "Sealion" Dion in our house, and any sing by her is accompanied by the clapping of hands and sealion style barking.

Member984815 · 09/04/2021 14:27

I can't forgive her for her cover of power of love

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/04/2021 09:11

What's that now? She covered what? No, no, no, no....
