I guess the story of the song may be completely different had it been performed by a different performer.
I just can't believe that Paris Hilton turns down a song for her. Choosy hehe.
songs performed by other artists for sure will have a different impact, great share buddy. :)
Paris Hilton oh I never realized she is a singer too. Being choosy into something leads us to surpassing a great opportunity for us to regret it, so its better to give it try sometimes.
it might have been a destiny these singers were the ones who actually sung all the songs that were supposed to be for other singers. It was a actually a hit. That was nice of you to have done some research about it.
I miss this songs. This should be compiled and listened to in a long day's work. Thanks for the list! :D
every singer has their own version of any song they would like to sing. .that is why it always pass by who can make a more appealing or hit version. .
Some artists turned down the song for a reason, probably not the right one for them nor their voice.
Music has never been that interesting knowing this information. Maybe, that's meant to be. The songs turned out to be hits after all.
They may have been the second choice, but what an opportunity to these singers. Luck as they may say.
though it was sang by another singer... they still had given justice to the song. Yahweh bless. ralph
