Truth.
“Powrhouse vocalist.” Not even close to a “vocalist.”
The female Rod Stewart.
“43 years”..........ugh. Don’t remind me. lol
Great song which I’ve listened to many times, but the video in the link I’m surprised her voice is really breaking on those High notes.

I don’t get how it’s a “rock” song. Always seemed poppish to me.

Note: The theme of my daughter’s prom in 2012.
Also note: They did not play the song at the prom because they hired a hip-hop DJ

“rock legend”??? Where? Croatia???
I’ve always enjoyed her work. It’s strong, the lyrics are clear, and her songs tell stories.

You nailed it. Perfect comparison.
That post makes me feel old
Time flies
I liked that
“What kind of private school would let in these kinds of guys?
It started out as Hogwarts, now it’s ‘Lord of the Flies’.”
