Adam Ant covering "Where did our love go" on the Motown 25th anniversary show.

He was introduced as Britain's biggest star (1983) and I could have curled up an died. Shameful, truly shameful.

The only way is up by the yaz bird or whatever her name is

Remus,

I agree with you it's a poor version but i know for a fact GEORGE JACKSON who wrote the song was a very happy man when the royalty cheques came rolling in. He must have earned more of that one cover version than in the rest of his career put together.

Conclusion hate the cover version but love the end result.

How about anything to do with Joss Stone - middle-class school girl sits down with producer and listens to authentic Soul, instantly becomes a Soul diva. Zero Gospel background, just gets it over night.

Sunday supplements faithfully and uncritically reproduce her PR of "new Aretha" tag (now come on!).

Kind of fits into my "Top Shop Soul" category - disposable pap that provides the soundtrack to bad fashion decisions. See also Anastasia.

Though I suppose it's not strictly a Soul tune, check out Joss and Melissa Etheridges terrifyingly histrionic tribute cover to Janis Joplin. Nasty.

Joss Stone is great :graynone:
