[Namie Amuro] My love Namie Amuro wants to COPY THAT in her 46th Thread

[KarenPang]

lol this's why noidea & Maemi are on my Ignore list *deadpans

anyway I will only consider a song a cover if it's done in the same language/style ?

*points to Ken Hirai's take on ayumi's LOVE ~DESTINY~ as a prime eg

[aloopy]

Namie should do more covers/sample other songs.

because alot of times when I listen to other music, I always imagine what that song would sound like if Namie did it lol

^ lol Alex I'm fine with Ningyo & Namie was so pretty in the PV

[aloopy]

I don't like Ningyo.. I don't even know why lol, her voice is really powerful in that song & the melody is so pretty. but overall the song just doesn't do it for me XD

but yeah I agree with you that she looks great in the PV.
one of her best PVs imo

Cover = EXACTLY same melody. Arrangement and lyrics may be different, allthough it's common to use the same lyrics. Arrangement is usually different. Melody has to be the same though. ALso, the song has to be released at a later point than the original song being covered. If not it's more natural to label them as different verisions, like in the case of dragostea din tei.

Namie's 607080 are not at all covers, the melodies barely have any resemblance at all to the originals. lol

Ayu's sweetbox songs were released before sweetbox released them and are not covers. Tsunku's version of LOVe on the other hand would be, as would his beatles cover album, no matter if the lyrics are in japanese or not.

The main reason why I'm on your ignore list is because you can't accept my opinions, they can be sometimes harsh or too honest or maybe even stupid for you, and it's not like I blame you, because that's your problem.
But I guess you can't read this, so it's pointless...


Anyway, it doesn't matter if I'll call them samples or covers, because whenever I'll hear WHAT A FEELING, I'll think how much is better that version than Irene Cara's. The definition of "cover" becomes unnecessary.

ew, it is SO tacky to just go around and be like "yeah, this is why you're on my ignore list." People have been saying so much stuff out in public about other people lately...You guys, it's rude. Keep that to yourself, or in your circle of friends...

Blatantly saying it out on the forum for everyone to see is really classless.


I don't really understand the argument here at all...since...it's kind of fact that sampling is one thing and covering is another...so, seems quite pointless to me.

Besides, shouldn't we know for sure if something is a cover, since usually, there is some legal stuff going on, at least with the issue of crediting, and it's right in the booklets.

If it's not there, it's not a cover.


Whatever. Thanks to the person who posted the original Come.

Trying to think of my favorite songs...

1. Do Me More
2. WANT ME WANT ME
3. WHAT A FEELING
4. Come
5. ...Violet Sauce/Full Moon/No/WoWa

It's hard for me to think of only 5...a lot of her songs are along the same lines for me...


and woah, Namie's "Come" OWNS. Like amazingly owns.

thanks, I hate people talking about stuff they don't know much about, especially when they don't even know what the words mean! "cover" is not something you can take like: for me, a cover is... and for me its..., it's a defined word with a defined meaning, there's no "opinion" about it, either something is a cover or it's not a cover

and I didn't espect to be on KarenPangs ignorelist o.0 everybody, but not her, didn't know I pissed her off before xD

lol I swear I had always thought that she's a very friendly friend n a nice person here, until one day she said that I was on her ignore list, I was totally shock
This is the second time, I guess I was wrong about Karen a nice person would never tell out who are on her ignore list like this. God bless the girl.
Back about Namie, I truely hope that Namie will make some song like Come sooner or later!

yes!
I actually prefer the piano version of I WILL over the original as well! it's so beautiful and emotional.

yes I hope so too!
the performance of Come @ Play tour is amazing as well.. probably my fav performance of Play tour lol

i'm listening to melody.'s HOPE right now, and it reminds me alot of Come somehow lol

[pommy48]

^ Lol i know right! I even made a poll with HOPE and Come ♥ I love both of those songs *o*

I'm in that very small group of people who love Ningyo.

I love Ningyo too

[emi♡]

lol I keep hoping that she'll perform Come...only because it's one of my favorite songs...and then I realise there really isn't any reason why she would lol

I really want a song like Come too...but I think it's a little too different from her current style...but I guess it was different from her style on style too...


@RockyRaven: Karen IS a very nice and sweet girl. Just because people are on her ignore list doesn't make her otherwise...in fact...it's probably why she's so nice and sweet, she doesn't have to see all the crap that goes on lol I think she just made a mistake...it's not like she's the only one either, and she's certainly no where near the worst of them.

I hope you don't really think less of her because of it.

Erm, NO. NO NO NO NO NO. Just NO. How DARE you, srsly. I don't even know what to say to this. She can choose who to put on her ignore list okay? That was really low. Really low.. Ew. How mean.

[noidea]

^ sure, she can choose who to put there, but telling it around is insulting! Its like: You suck
