Her original version of "Here Comes the Night" hasn't left my turntable (OK - disctable) since I discovered it late last year. As far as Bonnie goes, you nailed it with this: "If I were a guy, I'd be terrified of this chick." Speaking as a guy - amen. Excellent point about how the rise of big-voiced singers cojncided with the arrival of the Career Woman. Of those you mentioned, I'd give Benatar some credit for getting better over time. Starting with "All Fired Up," she actually managed to make some decent records. ("Every Time I Fall Back" is a nice one, for example.) The fact that this improvement coincided with her commercial decline probably says a lot about what her audience wanted from her, and from her other loudly singing sisters.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-69998387496974092402009-10-28T21:31:24.060-07:002009-10-28T21:31:24.060-07:00I have to admit, I felt conflicted about dissing t...I have to admit, I felt conflicted about dissing this song when I learned that Bonnie Tyler is Welsh. Surely that should earn her a free pass for the full-throated passion of this song. And that story about the nodules -- suddenly I'm turning into Bonnie's biggest fan.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-14298532163033517482009-10-28T12:27:01.929-07:002009-10-28T12:27:01.929-07:00This song is the ultimate earworm.
