In your opinion, what has been the BEST remake TO DATE (musically)?

I mean it was sooooo HOT that it almost sounded better than the ORIGINAL.

( Is that possible?)

I'm thinking...I'm thinking...

I've never heard a remake that sounded better then the first, but looking forward to the list, maybe I'll change my mind.

A House Is not a Home-Luther. I don't remember the person who made it originally.

Just Can't Stay Away- EnVogue (1st CD) vs. Natalie Cole

I Still Believe Brenda K Starr vs Mariah

"Ribbon in the sky" Stevie Wonder vs ?????

I forgot the name of this group but they had another hit that went "It's all about you, every day, every way....." Their remake of this classic was OFF THE HOOK. I still love Stevie's, but this one has him runnin, lol.

I like INTRO's version of RIBBON in the SKY as well.

I also like Chaka Khan's version of My Funny Valentine.

EnVogue's version of Giving Him Something He Can Feel.

Lauren Hill's Killing Me Softly was off the hook vs. Al B. Sure's 80's remake which I loved also vs. Robert Flack's original, which I found to be kind of dull but still good.

As We Lay - Don't get me wrong, I like Shirley Murdock's rendition but I just LOVE Kelly Price's remake.

Anything made over by Luther is usually the bomb.

Oh, and All Cried Out. Original by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, remake by Allure and 112.

I think some of the best remakes ever are Aaliyah's remakes of 2 Isley Brothers' classics, "At Your Best (You Are Love)" and "Choosy Lover." I miss her sooo much. I also like Jesse Powell's remake of "Gloria." I forgot who sang the original.

I don't like remakes either, but if I had to chose...

Got To Be There- Chaka Khan vs. Jackson 5

Good choice. I forgot about that one.

Fire & Desire- Rick James & Teena Marie vs. Johnny Gill and Coko of SWV. I like the original better.

Also, Oooh baby baby- Smokey vs. Linda Rondstadt. Linda ain't got nothing on Smokey's version.

Thank you Crimsontide! I wouldn't of guessed INTRO for a million dollars.

Ginuwine vs Prince "when doves cry". NOBODY can beat the old prince
