I had similar thoughts about Nightbird. I dont care for the song but if I could pick the next single from RAL it would be If I Were You....even with no video.

I Cant Wait was the first time we saw Stevie's weight gain and not as glam as she used to be or could have been. This was the beginning of her hairstyle of the mid/late 80s that I always hated. It was puffy on top and straight on the sides. She stuck with that look through the Big Love video.

There are parts of the Talk To Me video that are fine. But I hate the blank room dance with her brother appearing on the wall playing sax. I wanted to see more of her at the mic instead of those far away shots. It seemed they tried to hide somethings with only close face shots and far away shots.
Now for my 80s flashback. We did not have MTV in 1986 and I would tape the TBS Night tracks and hope to catch Talk To Me and I finally did one Friday night. And guess what, I could fast forward the VCR with a remote control that had a long wire attached to it. Ha ha.

Yep, I remember thinking the same thing. First time I saw Stevie not looking "so good" in a video.
