Bonnie Tyler was so much more than just "Total Eclipse". The entire 1983 album that track is on is a banger.Love me some raspy voiced female singers. Here are a few other tracks from Bonnie that I like (was too busy to post this when the death sticky was up):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK-SVR86ThY - notably recorded before she fucked up her vocal cords.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lz3t7uKNXohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEOl38y8Nj8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0tTjr9ODVYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1yTMT4VvcI - sound quality kinda shitty, only one I could find that's LP length.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cBYiLZiqWUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqnh46SuCY4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay_AiJ2xoYohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwfCB5OYvUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyRCtdgwyCchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT2BfDXe1aMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZtowUZMxDYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIbAoz8ihLYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T0WGN4ndJ4 - before Tina Turner struck gold with it a year later.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0VvrjnGnrw - notably covered by Cher.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqSdIXGFTXY - notably covered by Ace Of Base (kinda funny, in "Total Eclipse" we were encouraged to turn around).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_4X3j0f62Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H41zmM5Eyfk - 90s dance cover of "Total Eclipse" I always liked.Also try and find a picture of her smiling with teeth showing, its pretty much impossible.Also how the fuck do you get a perforated intestine? Kinda sucks everything spiraled out from there. She was still touring so it feels a bit unexpected.Also, weren't the 1980s just 20 years ago? The fuck happened?
>>130890934>bonnie being a little too sexyyeahi unironically always thought her bird-like face was sexy>islandsi always thought it was cool that oldfield got her to sing at her commercial peak. though the song's a bit too long, it's from the one 80s oldfield pop album i really like
Last few interviews. Depressing, sounds like she had several years left that she wanted to preform. She loved what she did. At 4:40.>What am I gonna do, stop and die?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHj-1PkcuTAThat did not age well. It's exactly what happened...>>130890955>i unironically always thought her bird-like face was sexyShe kept the same "same face" and hair style for like 40 years, lol.I posted that album cover because it feels so out of character, like the label was desperate for anything to get eyes on her, so they tried sex appeal, but the album itself was a dud.
>>130890994Aw fuck, got my links mixed up, I'll have to find the one where she said what she said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl7MurmPCOsI DONT WAAAAAAAANNA LET IT ENDI DONT WAAAAAAAANNNNNA SAY GOODBYE
>>130890994The US cover of Natural Force tried to do that, it was a rare instance where Europe got the more innocuous cover and Americans got the naughtier one.
>>130890934>Also how the fuck do you get a perforated intestine?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_perforationThere are a variety of things that can cause that.
FTTSON is an unnecessarily common Goodwill -core album. Also Jim Steinman was never good.
>>130892463Yo she danced on the ceiling years before Lionel Richie did!
>>130890994>>130891031Man what the fuck.Turns out I did have the correct Youtube link. I had pre-written what I wrote yesterday, and that video was over 8 mins long (just googled the URL). Why cut it down so much and reupload it? Copyright strike?One thing I am noticing with her death, which I assume is common now among big celeb/singer deaths, is non stop videos being uploaded to Youtube to capitalise on her death for views/money. Just real lazy shit that regurgitates things you could easily look up on Wikipedia. Or stitching together various interviews. Already came across an AI video where someone likely said "chat, tell me about how Total Eclipse came to be as a song" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaM2_eC9e2Q). And several reaction videos to Total Eclipse - like are you for fucking real? It's one of those 80s songs that transcends decades, you're telling me your zoomer/alpha ass has NEVER heard of this song before her death? Give me a fucking break. It's all so disgusting and disingenuous, like vultures pecking at a corpse. To die now in this modern age is to be made a mockery.Even legacy media all uploads their same legacyslop that just keeps mentioning the same three songs she's known for (eclipse, hero, heartache). I guess Bonnie knew she would always be chained to this song when she died, but at least she wasn't bitter about it and said she always loved singing the song.
>>130892496That shit is straight up horrible.The original cover with her in the yellow car is nicely composed. Nothing wrong with it. This album already had the big hit on it, why even change it?The US cover looks terrible. Uninspired and lame. It's as if they took a picture of her and she forgot her shirt was undone. It's insulting to her as an artist, she should have never agreed to it.Also hate the practice of renaming an album with the hit single title just because it's the hit single. Fuck off with that crap it's such a stupid desperate thing to do.
>>130890934Missed one...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hViExVcrjLQ&pp=ygUJSnVnYWRvcmVz
>>130892776you're not finding me in disagreement that the US cover is tacky
>>130894811>AiUnironically end yourself.
>>130890934>Also, weren't the 1980s just 20 years ago? The fuck happened?If the song "1985" came out today, it would be about a millennial stuck in the 2000s.
>>130896762If bfs did "2005" I would find it both funny and sad at the same time.
>>130894811LMAO!!!!!
Jim Steinman was unique in his ability to bringing theatre to pop music.He will forever be missed.
>>130898700Even though most of his stuff follows the same formula, I can't get enough of it.
>>130896229AI is the future. Deal with it, luddite.
