So on a lighter note today.....
I heard this AWESOME song on the radio yesterday and totally fell in love with it. It's called "Not Strong Enough" and it's by a band called Apocalyptica. They are a band that does a lot of orchestra type stuff and they have different singers perform their songs.
The version I heard was this:
This version is sung by Brent Smith from Shinedown. I love his voice. I think it fits really well with the song....
I wanted to post this song on my facebook page but when I went to youtube I found this version:
Why is Doug Robb from Hoobastank (another great band) singing the song now?!?!?!
Why do artists do this? I bought the Shaman CD by Santana a while ago and heard "Why Don't You & I" and loved the song. On the CD it was sung by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback but when they released it on the radio it was sung by Alex Band of The Calling.
Don't get me wrong, I like The Calling and I loved his version of the song as well. I just don't understand why artists do this? Why even release a song with 1 person singing if you are just gonna re-release with another person doing it. I don't like it... :(
I could be totally wrong... What do you think? Which version do you like better?
**Ok, so after some reading, I found this on wikipedia:
"Due to distribution rights on [Brent] Smith's vocals, "Not Strong Enough" was re-recorded with Doug Robb of Hoobastank before being released to US radio on January 18, 2011."
I still think that if there is going to be an issue then why was it released at all? :(
