Lets Talk About Cyndi....

[foxyluva]

I feel a new obsession coming on....

The songs "Who Let in the Rain" (Thanks Carrie for the recommendation) and "I Drove All Night" are on the top of my playlist at the moment, but of course I love the classics like "True Colours" "Who Let in the Rain" "Time After Time" etc....

Lets talk Cyndi fans :D

oh, god ... i drove all night. that song gets me hot and bothered!! have you seen the video??? dude. have you heard "shine" or "above the clouds"?? did i send you the body acoustic?

actually, "above the clouds" is my ringtone. :o

so, which albums of hers do you have?

[DrummerDeanna]

I only have 12 Deadly Cyns but I have to say it's one of my all-time favorite albums.

I bought it in 1998 - only knowing Time after Time and GJWHF. I was blown away that she has other stuff beyond that that doesn't suck :laugh:

I have always meant go get more of her stuff...but havent :shrug: In 1998 or possibly 1999 my sister and her husbadn went to see David Letterman in NYC _ Cyndi was the guest that night and I was SO jealous..still am.

I actually was familiar with Celine Dion's version of 'I Drove All Night' before I heard Cyndi's - and I love both, although I do have a soft spot especially for Celine's version *shame*

Yes, you did send me "Body Acoustic" but I forgot about it, and it expired :(


actually, "above the clouds" is my ringtone. :o ?

Cool! I have not heard that song. What album is it on?

My ringtone is Blondie - Good Boys :thumbsup:


so, which albums of hers do you have?

So far just "Hat Full of Stars" "True Colours" and "The Essential" - but Im looking to get more...

I was being silly - just messing with you guys -

Thanks...I got the PM...and am very excited about it! I'm all set to listen to lots of Cyndi on my road trip tonight...when I, in fact, drive all night.

Oh Favorite song...

Gosh - I do love Sally's Pigeons...but erm. What is a pirate smile :o

And I really love That's What I THink :p

[foxyluva]

when I, in fact, drive all night.

Perfect song for it!!

Although I would recommend Celine's version *ducks for cover*

NOOOOO! I heard Celine's after Cyndi's and remember thinking, "what the hell is this..who ruined this song!?!" *don't hit me*

Then some country group did it...even worse. I'll stick with Cyndi's version :nod:

Well I am gay - and I think it is a requirement of gays to like Celine Dion. You don't get to join gay society if you don't :laugh:

re pirate smile - i've wondered the same thing. she's never explained it, as far as i know. the person to ask is goldustsongbird, although i think i asked her once, and she didn't know. ooh, that's what i think is good, too! i forgot that was on 12dc. at first, i didn't like "what's going on," but it's growing on me, especially because she is super HOT in the video!

Sounds kinky ;)

[carrie721]

[foxyluva]

:laugh: Actually - is there a picture of you anywhere?

[Villavic]

Time after time is my fave, it makes me remember my trip to Europe, I was 18.

Followed by She Bops

[carrie721]

:laugh: Actually - is there a picture of you anywhere?

:lol: i'm disturbed by the context of this question ... but there are several of me in the "what do you look like?" thread. :woohoo:

[foxyluva]

I bet that "She Bops" is Carrie's anthem ;)

:lol: What do you think Im going to do? You filthy minded heathen :lol:

Aren't they just of you as a young'n though?

Hold up, Imma go check.....

Oh right. It's like the Ani DiFranco requirement to be a Lesbian. I've already been shunned from lesbianland because I HATE Ani. Oh well :laugh:

Anyway - Elton John also has a reference to a pirate smile in Tiny Dancer.

Is it just a quality some smiles have? I just don't know and it's always driven me nuts.

[carrie721]

Is that really you?

yep! sher is.

[foxyluva]

yep! sher is.

How cute! I just wanna pinch those cheeks of yours! :lol:

[carrie721]

lolllll, you sound like my mom!

[foxyluva]

lolllll, you sound like my mom!

Well, they just look so pinchable :laugh:

[goldustsongbird]

Yay Cyndi! Have you listened to all of HFOS yet? I think it's one of those albums that people, mostly those who aren't/weren't major followers either love or hate. I love it because... well, duh, it's Cyn. But I like that it was the perfect departure for her from the 80's into the 90's. Too bad a lot of people fail to recognize it. :\

BTW, if you're interested - I just got this yesterday, its her appearance on Leno in 1993. She sings Who Let in the Rain and That's What I think and talks a bit in between. She's so cute! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FQN4Z8QX

[UnwindedDreams]

I saw her 3 times...

[goldustsongbird]

I saw her 3 times...

Cool. When and where?

[UnwindedDreams]

Cool. When and where? One time she was with Cher at Nassau Colosseum, Once at the Garden back in September of last year at a benefit, and the Decades Rock show...

Ooh, you saw her on DRL! That's awesome. I loved that show. I saw her once on the At Last tour in Hamilton (boring crowd, holy ****!) and this past December in Toronto. :blob1:

I think I might go see her at BPAC or HOB AC or maybe even Foxwoods...

[goldustsongbird]

Hope you get to go. :D I'd love to see her before she takes off for this supposed European tour. I don't know if that's still going on or when it's starting.

[skcin]

I only have Essential & Body Acoustic and the At Last Live DVD, but I really must get more. I f*cking love me some Cyndi. "I Drove All Night" and "Change of Heart" are my most loved tunes.

I saw her summer 2004 (2005? Damn, can't recall) at the UB Center for Performing Arts. Small venue, incredible performance. :nod: I'd love to see her again, hoping she adds more dates.

Hot. Yeah, get more, definitely!! I love the At Last DVD. A lot of the songs from the At Last CD sound better done live... Despite high sales, a lot of people who reviewed it got really nasty about her and the vocal work. :shrug: I didn't think it was bad (if anything, I thought it would, at the time, open everyone's eyes to her true talent!); it just isn't my favourite CD of hers.
