Cover vs. Original

Under Pressure / Ice Ice Baby


Because of this blatant rip off of real musicians like Queen and David Bowie, Vanilla Ice will forever be a dead man to me. Anyone votes for Iceman, and your are either crazy, stoned, or just doing it out of spite, hopefully the latter.

I do agree that Ice Ice Baby isn't a cover, and most rap artists take beats from everywhere anyway, but that is not them saying "I came up with this and didn't take it from somebody else." After saying that I hate the song and think Vanilla Ice is an uncreative SOB who got paid for nothing. What do rappists (rap artist) need to make music? Just a computer and a thesaurus where as Bands like Queen need multiple talented and creative musicians. Vanilla Ice will never have half of the talent Mercury had as a singer. This song killed Freddy Mercury not the AIDS.

I HATE VANILLA ICE! Queen is my second favorite band so I'm in no way defending Vanilla when I say for the record he did take a GREAT song and turn it into catchy dance beat. AND I think that the live Queen version without David Bowie sounds WAAAY better than this one.

I love both of the songs. They're very creative and beaty. But it's obviouslly David Bowie & Queen who should win this battle.

una mierda pinchada de un palo...(Gordon from Atlanta)
I don't get the whole sense but I think it sounds like a shit on a stake......that's what vanilla ice is, just like anyone who says that ice ice stuff is a good song.
especially you, Raymond from Sault Ste Marie.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! This is a joke, right?! Vanilla Ice? No contest.

He just played in Ohio (6/30/07). He was 3 hours late and was on stage for 43 minutes. The show sucked and so does Vanilla Ice Hole. We went as a goof, and it wasn't even worth doing that. Don't waste your time or money. The next time you are lucky enough to see him, remember to chant:
Ice Ice Hole,
Ice Ice Hole,
He really likes that. I think he also like Ron Jeremy in his Ice Ice Hole, at least that is what it sounded like during the show.

Vanilla Who? How many known songs has he had compared to Queen? ONE!! and he couldn't even come up with an original base tune for it, but rather rip off another artist's.
I rest my case.

I say again, Killed the song(Under Pressure)and renamed it(Ice Ice Baby)!

When it comes to the song "Under Pressure", here's the thing! First, there was Queen with David Bowie but then in 1990.... things GOT A LITTLE TENSE! In "Ice Ice Baby", Vanilla Ice killed the song and renamed the song that I was talking about but hey let me tell you "Under Pressure" from 1982: #1 ROCKS! #2 If something tragic happens, sometimes you just gotta play this song because if big breaking news happens right here in Southern California, you better tune in the news because I know this song is gonna gimme the creeps! SO KEEP ON ROCKIN AND ROLLIN!

Vanilla ripped off Bowie/Queen and then tried to say he didn't - Ice is nothing but a wann-a-be.
