Another diva who belongs in this pantheon is Tina Turner, who, believe it or not, was very resistant to recording “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” She thought it sounded too “white.” To be fair it was, but she added an oomph to it and well… we know how that went.

It was a different song structure - it doesn’t have a chorus distinct from the rest of the song. It’s more like a lot of verses.

Whitney Houston disliked Where Do Broken Hearts Go when hearing the demo, she said she didn’t like it and didn’t want to record it, but het manager clive davis insisted she did as he felt it was “hit material” she unwillingly recorded it and they released it as the 4th single from her second album which went number 1 and was her 7th consecutive number 1 hit that is a record that still stands today, the music video was also the video kevin costner saw which made him realise he wanted whitney for the bodyguard, whitney later said the song has grown on her and is now one of her favourites.

I once saw an interview here on KZread of Cher saying that she doesn't like any of her songs at all except for I Got You Babe. The reason why she said she loves I Got You Babe is because even though things didn't work out between her and her ex husband Sonny Bono at the time before he passed away she still loved him very much. The reason why she doesn't like the rest of her songs though is because she sings and performs for her fans and not herself. I actually really admire her for that considering that's what she said in the interview that I watched on here.

TBH, without being attached to the Titanic movie, I don't think "My Heart Will Go On" would have even been worthy of being a single. It was already then the tailend of the era of the 80s/90s power ballads as hiphop/R&B were about to take over the pop music landscape. I can also see why even for Celine, it sounded too maudlin & old-fashioned, besides not having a radio-friendly hook. It was just all about OTT melodrama that just happened to represent the intense, tragic love story in the center of one of the biggest movies of all time. It simply rode that huge, emotional wave to the top as luck would have it.

@@jonnyharvey yeah, and at some point they never played it live except on a few occasions. they thought it overshadowed their other works which isn't completely wrong. however they seem to have gotten over it in the last few years.

An other example is Beyoncé with single ladies she hasn't say it but she didn't performe it in her formation world tour, on the run tour and renaissance world tour

I think that’s because nobody wants to hear it. It’s not a classic. It’s very 2008. Beyoncé has done far better songs before and after. Single ladies is as basic white bread as one can get for a hit.

Was Mimi insinuating that Gloria Estefan, who also writes and composes her own music; was 'White Bread' ...Diva please! xo

@@jonnyharvey hehe true, though for the time I think the song would have been great for someone like Taylor Dayne, if Mimi had indeed intended it to be performed by another Singer. It would have been cute if Mariah and Gloria performed it together at Divas Live 98', as a little ode to that.

She said in an interview that the song was too huge for her and at the time she was asked to record it, she felt too boastful to utter "I'm every woman". But time passed and the essence of the song had grown in her and then she finally understood it.

it is kinda disrespectful to the songwriters. Not in Mariah's case of course cause she was the songwriter.

That means sometimes we still need another people. In thia case, singers need great producers to support them. Tommy motolla & Clive davis are the best producers ever, who can think out of the box. Even Clive davis spent 2 years with whitney houston (1983-85) before he made her first album
