Emotional Performances

[Ric.ror]

Prompted by an AB contributor in the David Essex posting below
Which artistes omit the most emotions in their performances
An example would by Mariah Carey's soulless performance of Nilsons without you

I would vote for Linda Ronstadt's version of I Will Always Love You - second only to Dolly Parton's own version - and donated to LR for her album - Dolly sings backing vocals on it as well.

This is not to be confused with Whitney Houston's hymn of praise to a well-known internet company - 'I Will Always Love Yahoo' which, apart from a vaguely similar title, bears not resemblence whatever to this classic song

Cliff Richard - Lord's Prayer to Auld Lang Syne tune.

Every pop star- Rihanna, kylie minogue, etc etc. I think all the manufactured music is completely characterless.

[ummmm]

Boyzone - Father & Son.

You meant "omit" and not "emit"?

Ric.cor did mean OMIT- omitting the emotion to give a soulless performance
