Dua Lipa, Shakira, Céline Dion … Ten Divas within the troublesome job of versioning AC/DC: Worse to higher | Culture | EUROtoday

When on this newspaper they requested in an interview with Angus Young concerning the model that Shakira had product of his traditional Back In Black, The guitarist and soul of AC/DC didn’t know who the Colombian star was. We talked about 2008, when Shakira may now not exit attributable to his nice reputation. But Young has all the time lived on this world, however in a spot the place solely blues is heard. When somebody provided details about Shakira, Angus believed to know who he was: “Ah, yes, it sounds to me. But I have not heard the version of our subject, well? Well, one thing is sure: she is much prettier than us.” The mind of AC/DC (which act on July 12 and 16 within the Metropolitan of Madrid) is concerned about what different musicians do with their repertoire, some songs that interpreted in a sure context present a sure channel level to which they sing them. A placing phenomenon is to hearken to Pop divas to face compositions that can not be additional away from their fashion. The final one has been Dua Lipa, just a few days in the past, on his Australian tour. We have collected 10 of those variations, positioned worse to higher …

10. Shakira- ‘Back In Black’

On its 2003-2004 tour, entitled Mangosta tour, Shakira carried out Back In Black. Then I embrace the piece on a dwell album, Live & off the Record (2004). It is unquestionably not a model to edit it in any album or to be interpreted in a live performance the place it’s charged (and fairly) to enter. That gradual introduction, which goals to be a relaxed environmental impact in order that then between the highly effective riff Composed of Angus Young, it’s tedious, and the interpretation of the Colombian is pressured, as if it will not be believed. The solely factor that may be highlighted is the competent execution of guitar solos.

9. Shania Twain- ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’

Shania Twain holds a terrific cause to face an AC/DC tune: she was married 17 years (from 1993 to 2010) with Robert John Mutt Lange, Producer of probably the most profitable disc/dc. So for an album and video of a live performance in 2004, the Canadian ready You Shook Me All Night Long, of the album Back In Black, With Mutt Large to the controls and one of the best -selling rock disk in historical past. So far every thing is ok. And effectively, the primary seconds of the video are pleasant, with Twain winging the hair in Rockera Plan. The disappointment comes under: a model nation Pop fairly meliflua the place the general public accompanies with palmaditas as an alternative of with a fist. All the vitality of the topic is left alongside the best way and a soundtrack for a rodeo ends.

8. Carla Bruni- ‘Highway To Hell’

In 2017, Carla Bruni revealed a model album. He dared with Depeche Mode (Enjoy the Silence), The Clash (Jimmy Jazz), Lou Reed (Perfect Day) o is Highway to Hell. Everything is shocking and exceptional: the guitar of the Young brothers are changed by a piano and winds that sound a bit flaccid. The fashion is of a business jazz of musical thread. Bruni’s voice works, with that seducer leaves the exmodel. But it’s not sufficient to maneuver from the anecdotilla chapter. By the best way, on its 2018 tour, Bruni carried out this traditional in Madrid within the presence of her husband, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the wedding José María Aznar and Ana Botella. Difficult to beat this cocktail …

7. Anastacia- ‘Back In Black’

In 2012, the American star Anastacia revealed an album of variations of solely male artists: therefore the identify of the album, It’s a Man World (It is a world of males). Among Led Zeppelin songs, Foo Fighters, Rolling Stones, Oasis or Guns N ‘Roses, it’s included Back In Black, of our protagonists. The error makes the model of the piece musically, and when the wild berrido of a, in 1980, impetuous Brian Johnson is anticipated, the gentle voice of Anastacia arises. She strives, however the factor does not work.

6. Joan Jett- ‘Dirty Deeps’

If it’s already troublesome to make a model of AC/DC, the factor turns into nearly inconceivable if a tune of the Bon Scott stage is chosen, which achieved in its interpretations a mix of chulería, energy and harmonic talent. Here the courageous is Joan Jett, who deserves all of the respect of the world for her stage in The Runaways after which alone, particularly along with her first albums with The Blackhearts. But we’re on the finish of the eighties, with the MTV asking for lacquered hair and damping rock to devour as a household. Jett edited in 1990 The Hit List, An album of variations that recorded between 1986-1989. There it included Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, that she shortened Dirty Deeps. The very first thing that catches our consideration is the bassist coping with the topic as if he have been taking part in for a cruise of powerful rock vacationers. Joan’s voice sounds with a metallic echo (non -metallow) typical of the eighties recordings of Rock MTV bands, and the choirs, so moody and credible within the unique model, appear right here interpreted under the water. Joan Jett has his gap within the historical past of rock, however on this model he’s abusing our credulity.

5. Judith Hill- ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’

The Californian Judith Hill was introduced in 2009 the chance of her life … however her very well-known godfather died. In 2009, Hill was chosen by Michael Jackson to kind duo within the tune I Just Can’t Stop Loving You In your present This Is It, which was canceled earlier than beginning at Jackson’s demise. Hill ended up singing on the funeral of the interpreter of Billie Jean. Since then, the singer has made a profession, though she has not managed to fill enclosures outdoors the United States. His first album was produced by Prince himself (which reveals that Hill actually likes good singers) and took part within the expertise program The voice, American model. Hill meets right here with Scary Pockets, a Los Angeles band specialised in Funk. The staging may be very tiny desk for a model of Funky Soul with pleasure. The incorporation of the choir is a hit and the remaining is answerable for a unbelievable voice, that of Hill, able to transferring from silk to the sandpaper in the identical sentence. Taking under consideration Brian Johnson’s waterfall, it’s not a foul concept to rent Hill to do the choirs within the new Australian tour.

4. Céline Dion con Anastacia y Meredith Brooks- ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’

Céline Dion labored in 2002 in Las Vegas when a letter as male as the feminine trigger appropriated You Shook Me All Night Long (You shaken me all night time). The Canadian began taking part in the imaginary guitar (the favored and rocker air guitar) And then he made the Duck step of Chuck Berry that Angus Young practiced. And then: the tune style modified, and now it was a person (as an alternative of a girl, as the unique says) that “it was a fast machine” that “kept her engine clean, the best man I had ever seen.” All these sexual insinuations are relevantly accompanied by Céline’s picarones gestures. More feminine energy? The arrival of Anastacia and, above all, an outstanding solely from Meredith Brooks guitar. This female model of You Shook Me All Night Long.

3. The Bellrays- ‘Highway to Hell’

If you stroll by means of your metropolis and see a poster the place they announce a live performance by The Bellrays, you have already got a plan. These days are exactly touring Spain. From the nineties he has this American band on the street providing in small and crowded golf equipment his soiled rock and soul. In entrance is Lisa Kekaula, a type of runaway Turner and Garito. Some years in the past the group recorded an incandescent model of Highyway to Hell fairly devoted to the unique. Kekaula confers furia and depth to one of many nice ac/dc cásics and we consider that no Australian fan can put combat. To test it, we depart a research model and one other recorded within the El Sol room in Madrid.

2. Halestorm- ‘Shoot to Thrill’

Halestorm are liable for exhausting rock followers to belief the validity of the style past the classics. His 41 -year -old vocalist is the aguerrida Lzzy Hale, an AC/DC devotee that along with contributing a voice with the virulence that gender requires, performs the marvel guitar. Hale sings with macarrismo and energy Shoot to Thrill, Theme of Back In Black. We are the closest factor to think about how this tune would sound within the voice of the lacking Bon Scott.

– And one of the best: 1. Dua Lipa- ‘Highway to Hell’

It occurred 15 days in the past, in the course of the Australian cease of the tour of his album Radical Optimism (which is able to go by means of Madrid on May 11 and 12). With lots of guasa, Dua Lipa proclaims that he’ll make a model of “a local band”. And then the not often overcome explodes riff of Angus Young guitar. The English faces the theme in a second of the present the place it’s positioned in a second stage, small, along with her musicians forming a circle and she or he within the middle. An unique staging. She will get into the paper and her throat emerges the fiercest growl she will emit. Tlayed all through the topic with a white artificial leather-based chal and strikes as she solely is aware of how you can do it, however it stays within the circle, contained, with which we save ourselves and compelled rock poses. The model is sort of devoted to the unique and she or he is sensational. Bon Scott can be proud.
