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.

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

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

Wasn't that the remake for "Thank God I Found You?'' The original "Thank God I Found You" was done with 98 Degreez (and Joe).

I acually loved ms. morgan's rendition. jamie foxx's recent hit with mary j. 'love changes', originally done by mother's finest, was butcherd. speaking of k-ci, I wanted to shoot him dead when he remade bobby womack's original 'If you think you're lonely now'. I mean k-ci copied all of bobby's nuances and inflections in the song. make it your OWN.

Michael Bolton is the WORST offender
Michael Bolton remakes songs that were done right the first time. He remade "Sexual Healing"  That sh*t sounds horrible.

I've never seen the original Omen, but it has GOT to be better than the remake with Julia Stiles....

It was.  Part I and II were the best Omens. That crap with Julia Stiles and that silly looking little boy was a waste of time and money.
<----thinks that people should always watch the original before watching the remake

Rest his soul, but I did not care for Luther-Beyonce's "The Closer I get to You"

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".
