IMHO it was a cringe moment during her career with her "I Cant Wait" funky dance during the carousel organ part in the video with her gloves. She seemed so out of her element and it was so inauthentic. Gurl, you are not Madonna and not 22. I cringe what a Sister Honey video would have brought.
It was her jump the shark moment abandoning her rock roots for cheeze. From Bella Donna to this in just 5 years  |
She could never adapt well to 80’s cheese. I just listened to some of Rock a Little yesterday after reading this thread and it’s mostly trash. Sister Honey is terrible. I find nothing appealing about her videos or performances from this era. The 80’s have a lot of cheese but she just couldn’t pivot into it in a way that wasn’t painful looking. And I was a kid then and I love cheesy 80’s music still to this day. For example, most people (including Ann and Nancy) hate Heart’s mid- to late 80’s output - I think it’s great! I don’t care that they didn’t write those songs, they were able to go 80’s glam cheese and make it work IMO. The change in Stevie in 5 years post Bella Donna are striking. Her songs were really on fire from the first FM album right through Mirage and The Wild Heart (to a bit of a lesser extent for me). After that it was hit and miss - mostly miss.
