The WORST remake....
As kinda a spin-off from "the best remake" thread, what's the worst remake you've ever heard??
Don't get me wrong, I like Mary J. Blige, but she turned my stomach when she tried to remake Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman." Actually, there have been a-many of artists to sing that song, and although Aretha's not the first...I think she's the best.

Worst remake
The worst remakes I have ever heard are:
1. When Doves Cry ~ Ginuwine
2. The Beautiful Ones ~ Mariah Carey & Joe
3. There was an old Prince song that TLC remade and the name escapes me, but I remember thinking to myself that it was horrible.
I have come to the conclusion that you cannot remake many of Prince's songs because he writes them for himself.

Mariah and Joe remade Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever" and Mariah and Sisqo remade "The Beautiful Ones".

The worst remake :"Do I Do"-Ja Rule and Case (I'm not a big fan of case). They butchered one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs. Maybe if they had let Donell Jones sing the chorus, I would like it better.
I also can't stand Mariah's remakes of Make It Last Forever or I Still Believe.
Didn't like Allure's remake of "All Cried Out".

Donnell Jones - Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie wonder He butchered that song (with his no talent azz!).
I love Stevie, and that was my favorite song of his. Mr. Mocha and I danced our first dance off of that song at the wedding. And he had the nerve to remake it with his &^@#$#$@% ..... Okay, that's enough.
Moving on...
Usher and Monica - Slow Jam. HUH   ?

Actually, that's how you spell her name. But my mom likes that song. I've outgrown it. When I think of some bad remakes, I'll post them.

The absolute worst: Mariah Carey (seems her name comes up a lot under worst remakes) and Luther Vandross: Endless Love 
Yes, that "All Cried Out" remake was horrible, as was Slow Jam.
Whomever remade "Ribbon in the Sky" (K-Ci, JoJo?)?? It was bad.
I'm sure there are other really bad ones that will come to mind.

I actually liked Donnell Jones' version of Knocks Me Off My Feet, but I absolutely HATED Tevin Campbell's version of that song, it was horrible. I agree with you on Usher and Monica's Slow Jam.

"Knocks Me Off My Feet" was on Donell Jones's debut album, My Heart. I actually liked his version. I thought it was better than Stevie's, probably because I heard it first.

She remade this with Cisqo from Dru Hill for her '97 Butterfly CD. Is there another one with Joe?
