If anyone has time to watch the whole thing I'd love to hear a rock fan's take on this performance. From two or three years ago on Idol Gives Back. I believe there is a studio version but this performance is what I remembered. :grinthumb

It wasn't that bad...but it can't hold a candle to the original Stairway.

Sacrilege...:heheh:...that made me smile Garrett, I wonder what Jimmy, JPJ or Robert think of this cover of their most famous song.:think:

I'd rather wash my eyes out with acid, and drive 16 penny nails in my ears than experience that ****ing trash video again; I've seen a bit of it before and it made me puke. I agree that Vai should be shot... And that nasty bitch on vocals should be have her tongue cut out and jammed up her ass, and then set on fire and burned alive. BLASPHEMY!

Between my left and right speakers...
A verse [or two?] was missing, the solo was misplaced and she dragged the closing lyrics too long. Not hip to it being re-arranged so much. Very sloppy. I'll give her this, Blige has good taste.

Due to my random and unfortunate encounters w/ her music I would like to go on record and say I wholeheartedly disagree w/ the above good taste statement.
