@Ellie I don't hate it but yes, utterly pointless. It also sounds unfinished, like he was having a little jam in the kitchen and liked it so decided to just throw it onto the album as is.

[POP!]

The fact that this was a US #1 made it all the more painful

I didn’t know this was a cover

 

[VoR]

I didn’t know this was a cover

Big hit in the UK in 1997



Actually the history of it is a bit more complicated. It was written for Monica, and Clive Davis ringfenced it for her, but sessions for her second album took a long time and in the meantime Eternal got hold of the demo and asked to record it.

In the end, when Monica’s version finally came out two years later it was huge in the US but flopped in the UK because this version was still fresh in people’s memories.

The Eternal version is far superior to me too, its odd how they didn’t have more of a go at the US market for the 2nd album, it was kind of tailor made for it.

Horrendous

I just remembered another iconic Jessica Simpson massacre. That woman was a menace!

I forgot this existed

 

[VoR]

I believe George himself correctly described this as ’vile’

 

[Shoat]

I hate admitting that I also prefer the Eternal version to Monica's (silkier harmonies vs oversung warbling) because obviously now EVIL

 

[funky]

Not a fan of either version to be honest. Gloopy nonsense.

 

[Shoat]

01:50 onwards is possibly the most SINISTER of all 1980 horror flicks.

 

[lolly]

If I'm honest, I can't decide if I love it or hate it.

Aw jesus, gross

This gets so much hate but I really like it! and the video!

 

[Lucille]

 

[VoR]

TOTP re-runs reminding me how vile this is even by Ronan’s braying standards.



JUSTICE4GERI!

 

[Halli]

She would have got the #1 if she'd have released 2 CD singals! I think!

 

[OutSynk]

I'm seriously disappointed at the lack of angry reactions.

Isn’t EVERY Cascada song a horrible cover version?

Rhett Larence produced lots of the later songs for Eternal including I Wanna Be The Only One. Surprised at them not wanting Monica to release it internationally but I suppose this was pre The Boy Is Mine fame.

How dare you, this is the PINNACLE OF DANCE COVERS

 

[Inner Smile]

This was well liked wasn't it

I hope that Mandy Smith SUES.
