Since the 4th of July is almost here, I thought that this would be appropriate. Dave Chambliss YouTube - America the Beautiful.wmv

Oh, my GOD. Lounge singer discovers synths. That is HORRIBLE. Seriously, almost unrecognizable. "America The Beautiful" is a wonderful song, and whoever this person is has freakin' BUTCHERED it. 
Just googled him, and found an equally retched version of "Say A Little Prayer." My GOD, what a hack!

Well that's good enough for me.

Stevieb. Why are you so offended by my arrangements? Do you feel that there is only one way to play a song? If you say it's horrible then it must be. You are entitled to your opinion, and free to express it. "God bless America" ...... You probably wouldn't like my arrangement on "Dixie" either. Would you care to post one of your recordings? If you have one already on the board, point me to it. I'd like to hear how you approach a song. Dave Chambliss

This coming from the first guyto start whining and crying like a little bitch if someone else is half as harsh???? You're calling him names (hack) just because you don't like his version of this song??? I hate this stupid song and I'm not crazy about his version, either, but I'm not going to let it get my blood pressure up. Careful Stevie, you're going to give yourself a heart attack or a stroke because you're all wound up tight like a super-ball. Watch your blood pressure...and while you're at it, change your diapers and take a nap, you pathetic little baby.

You, too, are entitled to your opinion, Rami. By all means, have at it.
I have noticed that you are quite opinionated, too, yet are VERY quick to whine and bitch when somebody ELSE puts forth a strong opinion- A sure sign of self-loathing. You might want to talk to your therapist about that. Interesting, too, how quick you are to assume (yeah, we all know how to break down that word) that I am, some how, worked up about it. I can express strong feelings and not have my blood pressure soar, but given your comments, I can only assume you can not. So, which of us has a blood-pressure problem, hmmmm???
You don't come to anyone's defense, but rather get pissy when someone displays behavior similar to yours. Sorry, bud, but you can not claim any exclusive, here.
Dave, I always have approached a song posted here expecting to enjoy it, and I never pull my punches- if I like it, I say so, if I don't, I am just as forthright, and I try to find something positive, even in songs I find woefully inadequate. Conversely, if there is something about a song I don't like, in spite of it being, IMO, a good effort, I say so, then, too. As I said, I truly like ATB (more on that, below) and was looking forward to hearing your version- until I did. No, I have not posted any songs here for review, and I fully expect to be roundly beat to a pulp when I finally do, if only because I have been so unmerciful in my reviews. The real reason I have not posted a song here is because I believe that, unless I can add something to a song, and I mean something truly special, I may have a perfect right to play that song, but I have no right to foster it on others. I self-sensor my stuff so severely that, so far, none of it has made it here.
"Offended?" No, Dave, your version did not offend me, even the slightest, but I do want to say this: ATB is a truly fantastic song- some feel it would be a much better "National Anthem" than "The Star Spangled Banner," as ATB 1) celebrates the natural beauty of the land the United States lucked into claiming as it's own, rather than a brief moment in time when our predecessors were beating the crap out of somebody else; 2) is a much better song, and 3) is so much easier to sing at ball games
. (I agree on all three points, btw.)
At first, I didn't find any redeeming quality in your version of ATB, and I owe you an apology for not recognizing your patriotism is that quality- you certainly deserve credit for that, and I applaud it. I celebrate all patriotism except that which seeks to quell dissent (which I find to be false patriotism at it's most extreme)- and I did not see any of that in your post or comments.
I truly agree, America is beautiful. Certainly, one of our best reasons for celebrating.

I stopped reading the rantings of a whiner about 2 sentences into that. I will say that you did something worse than what you cry about other people doing all the time, you hypocrite. Being opinionated and attacking someone in the MP3 Clinic for something they posted are 2 different things. I've never done that, ever.
You attack someone personally just because you don't like their version of a song and then you try to be Mr. Morals around here? I feel sorry for the children you supposedly teach. I certainly would never leave mine alone with you.

In possible partial mitigation of stevieb's first post, I got the impression you didn't initially realise that the original poster was the guy behind the tune posted? I may be wrong, but seemed to me that you just thought it was a post in celebration of independence day.
May explain why the criticism seemed a little personal? I dunno.

You are correct, I did not realize the poster and the tune poster were the same person- but having said what I said, I decided to stand behind it, feeling that saying something like "I didn't know it was you!" would have seemed disingenuous.
And Rami, if you didn't read my post, you have no business commenting on it.

So, basically, you're admitting that you wouldn't have bashed this tune if you knew you were actually doing it to the artist's face. So now you're admitting that you're a coward, too. Congratulations, fatso.

Yeah, that's the funny thing. And then he tries to defend it by saying I've done the same, which is bullshit. Then.....he admits that he olny insulted the OP because he thought he was really insulting someone else....in other words, he doesn't have the balls to insul;t someone directly. A hypocrite and a coward. What a waste of flesh....lots and lots of flesh.
