Indeed, Jonathan! See - we *do* agree on a lot more things than we disagree on!  |

No, can't get behind this. Used to think it was tolerable, but, no, it's a 1.

nice, 4th song with the word "voodoo"in it. These are not fantastic transitions....

Catchy tune indeed.  |

Heh, little flashback here... String Cheese Incident used to play this before most of their concerts in the late 90s.

I like her voice, and the musical sensibility here. I want to hear more of her stuff. But I don't want to hear this song, ever again.
Ick.

You gotta be kidding, I would like to hear the original version because I think this artist and this song is really worthy of airplay. Makes you want to dance around...and I am rather serious sort. So long live Angelique Kidjo's music-lets hear more! |

had to bump that one from a 6 to an 8 - had since gotten significantly better speakers and now hear a lot more intelligent layering to this reprise.
Check out Beautiful People's "If 60's Were 90's" album - it's blended with amazingly aranged cuts from Jimi's work, some bytes are rare. I'll have to upload from it...

I will have to agree...From an incredible song that actually changed my perception of music...comes this MEDIOCRE rendering..what a shame... |

I spent two years in the Peace Corps in Benin, where Angelique is from. I have unfortunately never seen her in concert but hear that she puts on an absolutely mind-blowing show. I listen to this and think, "She comes from one of the 30 poorest countries in the entire world." I know well the area where she grew up. THAT blows my mind. More power to her!

Wow - I thought I had commented on this song before, so I checked. Yep. And Yep - it's still complete crap.

Usually I enjoy 're-interpretations' of classic songs. This one is for the birds.. Give me Johnny A doing "The Wind Cries Mary" ...
