 A song impossible to ruin - ruined.There are a number of songs that are just impossible not to enjoy. "Good Vibrations" is a perfect example. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is another. "I Want Candy", with its infectious chorus and toe-tapping, Bo Diddly beat - yup, that's one too. With that in mind, its no wonder that its been covered more than once - an almost guaranteed hit, and an almost guaranteed enjoyable rendition. Until now. For "Miss Credibility" Melanie C, this was surely a way to get back into the top ten after years in the pop wilderness, after increasingly ignored singles and (self funded - the shame!) albums. The soundtrack to the recent Brit-flick of the same name, it only reinforced the following: 1. Mel C has one of the flattest, most boring voices in pop music. 2. Mel C cannot do sexy. She's wearing a catsuit, she's rolling around on the floor and talking about how hot another girl is - and its about as alluring as waking up next to a dead tramp. 3. Mel C needs the Spice Girls reunion - stat. So guess what happened? The single stiffed, the follow up single barely scratched the top 50 and the album sunk without a trace. And after YEARS of saying she would never go back to the Spice Girls and she was a credible solo artist yada yada - she bounces back with her equally unsuccessful Spices for a shameless, pointless reunion tour. Surely "I Want Money" is more fitting? See Mel C: I Want Candy www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfZFSObn-cc |

If you have ever been in a real club (by real I mean in New York or DC) you would agree that the club cuts are outstanding!!!

ORGINAL COMMENT FROM AMAZON.COM
Well, having never been in New York or DC (or Marvel, for that matter), then I guess I haven't been in a "real" club. If by "real" you mean clubs that play Melanie C music, you must be mistaking "real" for "laughable."
And your points about the "club cuts" being outstanding proves nothing. I already said "I Want Candy" was an almost impossible song to ruin, so getting token Generic Dance DJ to put some beats behind it is no mean feat - and even further proves the low quality of Mel C's version.
Besides, what are we talking about here? I mean, come on - Mel C DANCE remixes? Is there any level nearer to Hell than THAT?

Good God, my wife was watching "Dancing With the Stars" tonight and guess who's on it? Actually, Scary looked pretty damn sexy, but the cheetah print wasn't winning her any fashion points. But to answer your question: yes there is a lower level of Hell than Mel C dance remixes. Reality television. [cringes]

Ahem. Yeah, she really does. This latest flop single of hers is a true example of her never-ending talent.
Seriously, where do these people come from?
