I feel really, really, really sorry for your generation. You’ll never know what it’s like to have “happy” EVERYWHERE. A time when happy music dived into the minds, hearts, and souls, of everyone around you. It wasn’t perfect, but it was happier.
Her voice is out of this world. I was a big fan of Taylor growing up, she can sing just about anything. My personal fave is “Love will lead you back” #1 hit for Taylor Dayne
Taylor Dayne is a R&B singer thrown into the Pop category. I remember her being on "Showtime at the Apollo". She brought the people to their feet. 👏🏽Apollo will let you know if you're not bringing it. Taylor's vocals are phenomenal live. I can testify. She's still hitting those notes. Just watch " The Mask Singer"
Apparently this hair was part of the actual weave Whitney Houston wore in the "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." They literally gave her Nippy's leftover hair.
This Jam will NEVER get Old!!! One of the Greatest Bops of the Late 80s. I Still have this Album. She had a Voice Now and She brung it with the Ballad Voice also with Tracks like "I'll Always Love You," "Carry Your Heart," "Upon the Journey's End," "Love Will Lead You Back" and "Heart of Stone." 😎
I was 15 when this came out,.. I was obsessed with it going to nr1 in the charts. It did. It reached nr 1 in the Netherlands for 1 week. I LOVED that song. So catchy, so happy, so danceable. I love the 80’s
I'm so glad you gave a shout out to that choreography. I remember when I first saw this video, I was like "WTF was that? Was that supposed to be dancing?" LMAO!
When I was at RINGLING there was a Gay Club called THERAPY. One day I walked in … this is 2001 … and literally … upon my arrival … she’s on stage singing this song. I thought it was a DRAG QUEEN at first … but … it was totally real life happening. WTF???!!! Hahahaha!!! My memories of back in the day are awesome 💜💜💜
Ahhh to me this is one of the fire bops of all fire bops 🔥 I’m still a loyal Empressionist though, we don’t have to agree on everything. One of my favorite singers of all time and she even opened for MJ during the Bad tour P.S. Topanga was also the first person who came to my mind when I first saw this video 😂
A few friends & I when we were in school made the outfits that the dancers were wearing. A bit of bleach on the jeans, some yellow and red socks and some chains....yep, we got looks! Haha...
🔥I was obsessed with this song and video for a minute when it first came out. It was a massive hit in Australia too. That VOICE! Not to mention cute dancers who would’ve looked sooo grown up to me back then! Just noticed now that they were doing a little light vogueing in the background right when you said “shout out to this choreography”. Taylor had a few big Aussie hits including the ballad Love Will Lead You Back. Hearing her belt a ballad is an EXPERIENCE. So funny how you chuckled every time the “I can feel my body rock” line happened 🤪 And it’s interested you’re not into that 80s hyper beat style of production. I definitely didn’t love that sound at the time, it all felt influenced by Stock Aitken and Waterman, the producers behind Kylie and Rick Astley in the late 80s/early 90s. It’s energetic to the point of irritation. But I do love this song just because her vocals DESTROY. I remember back when this song came out, me drawing pictures of her with coloured textas (markers) as just her hair, green eyes and that big painted mouth! I always thought that hair was kinda cool kinda ridiculous. It’s like she’s one of those hairdressing dummies that the whole beauty school has tried a technique on 😂
That choreography (especially during the bridge) is an early example of vogueing making it to the mainstream (1988), even before Malcom McLaren (1989) who is considered the main predecessor to Madonna's Vogue (1990).
@@dtaylor939 Jasmine Guy from "Campus Show"!! (that's what they called it here to emphasize the connection to the Cosby Show). I didn't know she had a musical career!!
taylor dane is unreal, she and debbie gidson still hang out together, still look great "tell it to my heart" is a good catch phrase..like "talk to the hand" haha
She was called along with Dusty Springfield, Joe Cocker (RIP) Lisa Stansfield and Hall & Oates one of the best Blue Eyed Soul Acts according to Vibe Magazine.
Taylor Dayne, from Manhattan, NY, then Long Is., and not too far from me in Brooklyn, could also do ballads. Her bigger hit was the ballad "Love Will Lead You Back".
Popcorn from the Masked Singer! But more important, the greatest but most under rated singer from the 80s. Her ballads though! Love Will Lead You Back!
I just recently listened to this song and yes no one could escape it. First time I heard it was of course as a kid in the 80s but on radio...The video a bit later... Your laughter about the choreo is priceless!!!! Cheered me up big time!!!!! 🥳🤸♀️
those two boyz dancing like they're from Alyssa Edwards' Beyond Belief Dance Studio trying to peek from behind Taylor's weaves, y'all... lol... I can't... I love that the layers are two different colours, too. Song = 10s... Video = unintentional 10s for the cheese factor
You might not dig this song.... but I'm curious though -- have you ever heard the original version? It was first sung by Louisa Florio. Give that one a listen too, if you're curious.
This song is forever stuck in my head and Idk why. It's a good song but, not one of my favs. I'll just be going along at work and all the sudden I'm singing this song in my head. It don't matter if it's been 3 years since I heard it. Lol. 🤷♀️
When Taylor Dayne was new on the scene, I made the mistake of telling my girlfriend that I thought she was hot. My girlfriend said that Taylor Dayne used to be a man. I said you’re lying. She said, “you can’t tell by the voice? Just look at her.” Like an idiot, I believed her for years. Lol
Met her at pride fest in Chicago in 2017 (my friend is a big fan) and she was the most awful and rudest celeb I’ve met in person and I’ve encountered a lot. As we approached the meet and greet (seemingly free) we waited in drizzling rain (Taylor was under a canopy) and as we got up to Taylor her manager demanded $40 and Taylor said “hurry the f up with your $ or move out of the way”. My friend felt bad and coughed up the $ and she was still incredibly rude and shoved us out of the way in 2 seconds to collect her next $40. It was borderline pathetic and I will never support this Trolls music again. No wonder she’s doing gigs at mar a lago bc she’s alienated her LGBT fan base. You aren’t Mariah sweetie.
I'm sorry you and your friend had that awful experience. Is he still a fan? Though I really think she's a great vocalist, I stopped being a fan and lost respect when I found out she performed at Mar-A-Lago, and that goes as well for Teri Nunn of Berlin. You know I wasn't even going to comment on this video until I read your comment. The other "artist" I never liked from the start, Vanilla Ice, was not a surprise that he performed there too.
@@FirstYT40 he isn’t. He disliked her as a person after that incident but still listen to her music. After her pandering to the mar a lago crowd he’s completely done. She had a steady $ performing at LGBT pride events across the US each summer. Idk what she was thinking bf she’s never getting booked again.
@@joshuas8258 I'm glad to hear your friend is over her. And I agree, she should not get another cent. But in reality she might in some way--there are Caitlyn Jenners and the ilk out there supporting a system that's against their own community's interest.
I think my favorite Taylor Dayne song is I’ll be Your Shelter. She looks completely different from this look… Which, I, too, just cannot understand the hair. There was too much of it! What’s going on!?😍
I can respect your not loving it. Personally it might be my favorite song/video combination ever. (Or at least it ranks with the very best. Including MJ, Prince, Madonna, U2, Metallica, more,). And glad you acknowledged the choreography. Amazing. They had NO budget, and everybody probably just brought what was in their closet. And Taylors outfit was simply amazing! It's all good though. Still was an honest and sweet reaction.
Love ur review, she changes up completely with her later music that shows off her voice better, I'll be your shelter's probably my favourite song of hers, written by the legend Diane Warren.
A fantastic 80's tune. You're right her voice is incredible. However that hair! It was a distraction for me, even back in the day! " When bad hair happens to good people"
You nailed it! Couldn’t agree more! Her voice is phenomenal but the material is over produced Velveeta. Yes, you’re tapping your toe but you’re kind of mad about it. That’s not good.
Oh, I never liked this song. My sister loved it, but it was just basic to me. She does have a good voice though. Maybe she just picked the wrong genre.
Madonna makes 10x better songs than this. A better vocalist doesn’t always equal a better artist. This song isn’t even as good as a great pop song like Open Your Heart or Lucky Star let alone a true pop masterpiece like Like a Prayer or Into the Groove
"I'll always love you" and "Love will lead you back" are two songs which really showcase her vocals. Both big hits as well.
Yes she's gotta do those...saw her at a gay pride in SJ like in 04
"I'll Be Your Shelter" is another great one.
I feel really, really, really sorry for your generation.
You’ll never know what it’s like to have “happy” EVERYWHERE. A time when happy music dived into the minds, hearts, and souls, of everyone around you. It wasn’t perfect, but it was happier.
I have to agree.
Definitely...I miss the 80s and 90s so much!
Glad I’m not the only one who feels like this.
except for AIDS... and Reagan/Bush... and trickle down economics... let's not get too nostalgic for the past, but at least the music was poppin'
all about happy, feel good music. thats why this generation is so marred in misery!
Literally like 6 different styles of perm on her head at once. Talent.
Taylor Dane had serious pipes. She could hang with anyone when it comes vocals.
-> STILL HAS serious pipes.
This was one of the best songs of 1988. I was 9 years old at the time, and it was a big hit here in the UK. Reached number 3 in the charts I think.
#1 in Germany in 1988
Her voice is out of this world. I was a big fan of Taylor growing up, she can sing just about anything. My personal fave is “Love will lead you back” #1 hit for Taylor Dayne
Taylor can SANG. She was just on The Masked Singer. I love this song and her voice.

i think that might've been some of the finest walk-dancing ever recorded !
🤣🤣
Another great voice from Longisland
Love will lead you back is a great one by her.
When you said that her voice was too big for this song!!!! You are spot on!!!! Great way to describe her voice and her vocals. Smile
Definition of banger. Lovin your giggles Empress.

P.S. Topanga was also the first person who came to my mind when I first saw this video 😂
This song was Taylor's debut in 1987. Topanga character wasn't around until the 90's.
I know right! 😅 For me, I was like, Topanga is doing the Taylor Dayne look!!!
Dayne always felt to me like she always gave you her all.
Taylor Dayne was on The Masked Singer this year. She can sing! Definitely a BOP.
A few friends & I when we were in school made the outfits that the dancers were wearing.
A bit of bleach on the jeans, some yellow and red socks and some chains....yep, we got looks! Haha...
Its the crimped bang for me. 🖤 Loved Taylor Dayne since the minute she came out...the drama...those VOCALS!

You can also see vogueing in Jasmine Guy's video for "Try Me".

@@LaurentChevassu Oh yes.. she had 1 album around 1990. I love it. She has a few music videos and some tv appearances like Arsenio Hall.
taylor dane is unreal, she and debbie gidson still hang out together, still look great
"tell it to my heart" is a good catch phrase..like "talk to the hand" haha
You always have such great positive energy in you videos. Love watching your reaction videos. Send love your way.
Thank you so much!!
This is such a guilty pleasure.
I have a friend, straight, born in 1997 and he's obsessed with this and always plays it in his car. So much fun :D
Smiling watching you react to this. My brother loved her back in the day. While I was pretending to be Madonna in my bedroom. 🤪
That walk with the hair flick, I dig this song. Top choice. Good to see 👑 laughing along , the joy and lack of seriousness of the 80’s.
💯💯💯

I have seen her in concert she's really talented man she can sing
I like your honest reactions.
Thank u‼️
Freestyle Fire Bop. Passion and emotion with killer beats. Taylor Dayne was one of the best to break out from the Freestyle artists.
Popcorn from the Masked Singer! But more important, the greatest but most under rated singer from the 80s. Her ballads though! Love Will Lead You Back!
I love it. Freestyle was HOT. Great vocals.
I just recently listened to this song and yes no one could escape it.
First time I heard it was of course as a kid in the 80s but on radio...The video a bit later...
Your laughter about the choreo is priceless!!!!
Cheered me up big time!!!!!
🥳🤸♀️
I can't believe you didn't like tell it to my heart. I'm shocked. Maybe you'll like prove your love. That's my favorite from Taylor.
The beat Taylor Dayne song ever is the number 1 hit song
Love Will lead you back
Taylor 'WOW' Dayne in her heydays
Taylor Dayne is no joke. She can sing with the best. Check out . Can't get enough of your love. Barry White cover
"All right, so this is 80s." All you saw were sneakers, double denim and lips. And yep, you guessed it!!
Whaaaaaat!!!! I love this track #bop
I much preferred her second album 'Can't fight fight' released in 1989 ♡
those two boyz dancing like they're from Alyssa Edwards' Beyond Belief Dance Studio trying to peek from behind Taylor's weaves, y'all... lol... I can't... I love that the layers are two different colours, too. Song = 10s... Video = unintentional 10s for the cheese factor
Her and Tina Turner rocked the big hair back then
That was fun
Love this song.
70s and 80s music had actual talent
You might not dig this song.... but I'm curious though -- have you ever heard the original version? It was first sung by Louisa Florio. Give that one a listen too, if you're curious.
Didn't know it existed. Thanks!
She is Awesome!!!
Reminds me of my trip to Miami 1988.
Coming from London, it was a big deal!
Anyone else thinks she looks like a young Bette Midler?!
The 80's - good times.
She is so amazing!! You should do Don't rush me!! Your so cute I love you cakes crinckels🤣too cute. Crimping was the term
😊 thank you
I agree with you here. I remember it from Summer of '88. Check out I'll Be Your Shelter. She sounds like Tina Turner on that one.
Love this tune👍
She made me buy a hair crimper it was that popular, lol.
🤣
Love the 12”inch version!!!
🤣I prolly still won't
This song is forever stuck in my head and Idk why. It's a good song but, not one of my favs. I'll just be going along at work and all the sudden I'm singing this song in my head. It don't matter if it's been 3 years since I heard it. Lol. 🤷♀️
This is my childhood 😂😂😂
Taylor Dayne powerful singer Gurl can really sing

OMG, she does have Topanga hair!!!!

Will do
How in the hell can you people say you never heard of the most popular drivers and songs in history.

The irony of women today criticizing 80s hair when sporting hideously long gaudy looking fingernails is absolutely amazing.

Another instance where the video does the song no favors. This is her first video and it shows.
The song is 🔥 but the video is funny.
I don't think they knew what to do with Dayne. She would have been better in a rock band. Missed opportunity.
interesting!
Loved the song but the choreography was probably done by a part time painter.
😂
I used to LOVE her until she totally sold out to perform at Trump's New Year's Eve party. Good luck getting those Pride event gigs now, girl!
She never sold out.
Taylor was unbeWEAVEable.
Oh, I never liked this song. My sister loved it, but it was just basic to me. She does have a good voice though. Maybe she just picked the wrong genre.
I loves me some Taylor, I have a couple of her CDs....but the video is cringe-worthy!!! Lol
😂😂💯💯
she sings her ass off but she shouldn't dance and should chill out on the hair spray and makeup lol
The worst hair extensions in HISTORY.
Is she wearing 3 colors/texture weave? 🤢 lol
And to think that Taylor considered this her Madonna type song and I was always like hell no, Madonna could never touch these vocals.
Madonna makes 10x better songs than this. A better vocalist doesn’t always equal a better artist. This song isn’t even as good as a great pop song like Open Your Heart or Lucky Star let alone a true pop masterpiece like Like a Prayer or Into the Groove
