Subject: I see Donna Summer has released (another) greatest hits album. Only SAW track is 'This time i know its for real'. Pitty-I would love to hear the single versions of 'I don't wanna get hurt' & 'Loves about to change my heart' digitally remastered

• Yes it has been advertised on ITV1. The problem with an artist like Donna putting out a single CD greatest hits like this is she wont satisfy all her fans. She needed a double album. There are really big hits missed off it. But I too wish she'd put a greatest hits out with the PROPER SINGLES OF Hurt,Change and Breakaway, instead of the dull album ones. b (NT) -- Danny boy, 19 Jun 2004, 20:52:00
  • Ironically, there is a double-CD limited edition of this release on the shelves, but CD2 is lacking any glimmer of a SAW production, not even the remastered 12" of TTIKIFR which graced the US version. Still, at least we get "Dinner With Gershwin"! (NT) -- DiscoManic, 19 Jun 2004, 22:43:59
    • On this topic did anyone see Discomania on Saturday (UK ITV1). Donna performed a couple of solo songs and also a fantastic duet with Mark Feehily and the rest of Westlife backing him up. There is no wonder Mike said she had the best voice he worked with- she was as powerful as ever, putting V and Girls Aloud to shame! It was quite a shock to see her though- she's put weight on. my last 'viewing' of her was around 89 when she promoted her SAW singles. (NT) -- Danny boy, 22 Jun 2004, 21:15:22

        • Sorry but her 'duet' with Westlife was CR*P. She was OK, but they might as well have been sat on stools for all the energy they gave this song. Bring Back Kim Mayzelle and fat Jocelyn I say! (NT) -- All You Ever Say Is .. . . Wait now!, 25 Jun 2004, 18:54:19
          • I dont think Westlife can ever be in as entence with the word CRAP. I've seen them 3 times and they wipe the floor with so many bands. If SAW reformed they could have a field day with Westlife- both ballads and up tempo. (Also just to set the record straight- I wasn't criticising Donna's appearance- she looks great...it was just a surprise after all these years. she used to have an alost eerie presence(seeher album covers). Now she is resonant, warm and big diva-ish. Fantastic all the same. (NT) -- Danny boy, 25 Jun 2004, 21:21:57
            • Are you kidding me? Westlife are the epitome of crap! Talk about the most engineered boy band of all time. If they're so great, how come there was very little live vocalising going on in their "duet" with Donna? Answer - the autotune machine failed at LWT. Give me a break, I'd rather listen to howler monkeys or Nadia from Big Brother trying their hand at "Enough is Enough" over those talentless automatons. (NT) -- WestTripe, 25 Jun 2004, 21:34:21
              • Westlife managed to restore my faith in good, honest pop music. You're entitled to your opinion (and I expect lots will agree with you) but I just think they're amazing. Does anyone agree...no...okay then. (NT) -- Danny boy, 26 Jun 2004, 13:25:23
                • Re: Danny, I like Westlife, too. I have all their albums bar the recent one. I don't buy new CDs, only second hand, so I will keep an eye on "Turnaround". So you are not alone! (NT) -- Holger, 26 Jun 2004, 18:54:36
                  • You won't regret buying Turnaround. It gives Mark more of a chance to show off his great voice. The mix of slow/mid/upper tempo songs is great. And I really do believe that the clinical pop production/electronic instrumenation on their tracks is reminiscient of the SAW sound- particularly their ballads. (NT) -- Db, 27 Jun 2004, 13:20:22
                    • I find the linking of Westlife to SAW quite offensive, to be honest. SAW were full of pop perfection, not afraid to experiment, filled with variety and energy. Can you say the same about any 'Tripe track? Quite. (NT) -- WestTripe, 27 Jun 2004, 16:32:11
                      • Yes. Turnaround for one. The last thing I would ever do is offend SAW. (NT) -- Db, 27 Jun 2004, 17:25:55
                      • Just an observation... Westlife had one minor hit in the US and never truely broke into the market. As an US citizen, I can attest to the CRAP music flooding our radios, MTVs and store shelves. If Westlife were so CRAP, they would have been HUGE in the US. Since they weren't, they aren't. ;) (NT) -- PastaCartel, 28 Jun 2004, 8:47:52
