Guilty confession - The X Factor

Glorfindel · 09-11-2009, 17:24

I think the song 'Purple Rain' is rubbish. There, i've said it.

Anyone else secretly loathe a supposed 'classic'?

ellenpagerocks · 09-11-2009, 17:27

Umm do people consider Bleeding Love a classic lol

pau11n3 · 09-11-2009, 17:27

oooh i hope you have a big wall to hide behind!

electric_badger · 09-11-2009, 17:27

I'm worse, not only do I not like the song, but I also hated Ruth's version last year

The "classic" song that "everyone" likes that I cannot stand is Imagine by John Lennon. Absolute drivel!

smile371 · 09-11-2009, 17:28

I can't say i particuarly like it, qute bland in my opinion

researchshirley · 09-11-2009, 17:28

I like the original but it should never be covered ESPECIALLY by Danyl.

mummypigget · 09-11-2009, 17:28

I don't like it either

it was released the year I was born my hubby said Danyl did a good job of it and I was like..."Really? Then that is a baaaad song"

Sorry

It belongs to Prince. It's just one of those songs that should be left alone.

I think the song is a classic and probably my second favourite of all time, however not the way Danil sang it. He should be out IMHO.

Thank you. I can't stand that one either.

I also hate I Just Called To Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder.

And all the massive 90s movie ballads - Everything I Do (I Do It For You), Love Is All Around, I Will Always Love You, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing and My Heart Will Go On.

Dancing In The Street by Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

pink sparkle · 09-11-2009, 17:32

I agree

Phyllis Stein · 09-11-2009, 17:37

I'm a huge Oasis fan but I loathe Wonderwall

newwoman · 09-11-2009, 17:38

Hero by Mariah Carey *shudder*

Agent Krycek · 09-11-2009, 17:39

Wonderful Tonight makes me want to commit acts of random violence

Oh, and I really, really don't like anything Queen ever produced - There, I've said it

I can't stand Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You. The song itself, when sung by Dolly Parton who wrote it, is fine. It's just Whitney's catawauling I can't stand, like nails scratching on a blackboard.

Want to share my flak jacket?

ZipGypsy · 09-11-2009, 17:44

I HATE 'You Raise Me Up' with a passion.

Phyllis Stein · 09-11-2009, 17:46

That 'Build me up Buttercup' filth is actually physically painful to endure.

Glorfindel · 09-11-2009, 17:48

Now, aren't we all enjoying getting this off our chests?

newwoman · 09-11-2009, 17:49

I also hate Respect (love Aretha normally)

BlocParty · 09-11-2009, 17:49

I absolutely hate Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns n Roses!! Hate it! I hate all Guns n Roses songs! Pub jukebox favourite... enough to stop me going to pubs!! :P

AGREED

For controversy:

I hate Oasis. They have the odd good song like Wonderwall, but also a lot of filler. I always play "Guess the original song" when they come on the radio.
