Yeah i agree, im really glad that labels are changing focus, and now talk shows are at least booking "older" acts, there are alot of "older" acts coming out soon that are gonna get the same dedication too.

I can't stand her and I will never respect her. She dissed R&B after having a number one single from it. She sought to detatch herself from a genre that she had no problem collecting a check from True artists are true to themselves.
No love for this one. | |

No love for this one. Uh, she was never an R&B artist. She was known as a Dance/Pop artist. "I'll Always Love You" peaked in the 20's on the Billboard R&B chart. Maybe you're thinking of Lisa Stansfield??? | |

Maybe you're thinking of Lisa Stansfield??? Wrong. She was marketed directly to the R&B crowd with "Tell It To My Heart" only to later refute her 1st album, saying that she was made to do that style and didn't like it or the R&B genre. At the time, "Dance" was not a genre. Eff Taylor Dane. [Edited 2/24/08 11:42am] | |

Isn't there a rule on this board that you can't come in a thread to say the artist sucks? Why start trouble? You don't like her, so don't read the thread, and definitely don't post. Hey, you'll never see me in a Madonna or Kylie thread..... | |

But the mid 80's were very much about "Freestyle" and "Dance" artists like Expose,the Cover Girls,Lisa Lisa, were at the forefront, and than the likes of Johnny O,Cynthia,Company B etc.. this was dance music, and the only reason it got "warped" was every label tried to inject RAP into these artists, and thats why "freestyle" lost its "style".

Dance pop was totally a genre...what were "Into The Groove" amd Madonna's other early dancey cuts. It had R&B influence, maybe, but it was not pop in the same way someone like Sheena Easton was (I'm in a Sheena Easton phase...bought her first four albums on vinyl). Some people say disco never died...they just called it dance. Sort of. I think disco when into different dance genres which were either established or emerged soon after. Including R&B pop (Michael Jackson), funk (Prince often), techno pop/new wave (Yaz) and of course, dance pop (Madonna). That sounds very strange of her to say that, but I don't think you're wrong. I always thought of "Tell It To My Heart" as pure dance pop of the day, right up there with Expose, which just happened to have amazing vocals. I don't know that it should be considered R&B. If anything a track like "I'll Be Your Shelter", which was probably from the second album, sounds a lot more like R&B (as do the samples of her newer stuff...a kind of R&B rock vibe and heavily straying from dance pop). | |

That chick's voice is as pleasant as the sound of someone vomiting.
I don't know HOW her nasal yelling is called singing by anyone with ears. | |

She's shit. Some twats reckon she's a great singer, like Amy Winehouse 
Like Amy, she doesn't connect with her lyrics (even though Amy wrote them!). On the new album, she's covered one of the most beautiful songs ever written called "Satisfied" by Lewis Taylor (check out his album "Lewis II", you won't regret it), but has invested no emotion in it at all. But she's always been a detached singer like that. Still, it doesn't stop bellends doing "Amy is the greatest" threads on this site. She could be good, but she is underwhelming. | |

She performed well, but I'm not really sold on the song. | |

"Tell It To My Heart" was considered pop. There was no separate category for "Dance" in 1987. You people have selective memory. Just like songs like "I Wonder If I Take You Home" by Lisa Lisa, "Tell It To My Heart" was marketed on the R&B stations as well as the general Top 40 stations because the rock stations weren't trying to play it. The reason was because there were electronic artists that were successful in the R&B market - Soulsonic Force, Man Parrish, Cybotron, and all of the electro-rap artists of the time along with people like Shannon (Let The Music Play) and Lisa Lisa, who's music "rode the line" so to speak. Taylor is the only one who dissed the genre that made her. She said this in an interview and it came straight out of her mouth, not on paper. So again. I say "eff Taylor".
You create a thread of praise, I have the right to speak my mind on her. I didn't say she sucks. She has a powerful voice, unlike Debbie Deb and some of the other pitch-shifted party music queens. I expressed my dislike for her because of her lack of integrity, not her abilities. She said what she said and I have no reason to lie on her. I don't care what anyone else "believes". This chick ain't important enough for me to make up shit about. [Edited 2/24/08 19:39pm] | |

I'm coming from the perspective of someone that loves all that eighties music even though I don't remember exactly when it was playing on the radio. I guess the catogery of freestyle (as well as dance pop) came around much after the fact. I hope nothing I said come off as saying you were lying. I'm just surprised at Taylor Dayne considering all of her later music (post the blockbuster albums) tend to skew much more R&B. Shame on her. It seems like most threads of praise on Taylor never mention this fact or criticize her at all. I love her voice, but don't own any proper albums (I might have had "Naked Without You" or might still have it). I just know her from her mostly her singles. | |

Well, the reason it stuck with me for so many years is that it was the first time I had heard an artist do that. I was young at the time and I remember getting angry about it. I couldn't believe she had the audacity to go on national t.v. and say that after her previous record had been in heavy rotation on R&B stations. After that, I never listened to anything she has done since.
She also gets praise around the org because she did some work with Prince, so that bias will always kick in with some people. | |

Mmk everyone seems to be ignoring one very important thing.
What in the name of Ducktales is wrong with her face? What kind of surgery is that? | |

She did a nice job with what she had to work with. Not a standout song, though. "Try to remember how you used to feel about me
and think about how you're treating me now. Then try to reconcile them, if you can. But you don't even remember, do you?" | |

As a former NYC dj, I gotta say this analysis is spot-on. Freestyle, Hot-103, 92KTU, and all that sort of music was very popular in the late 80's, parallel to New Jack Swing, and just before the emergence of Gangsta Rap. As for Taylor Dane, she was the Darling of the Dance Music set, right after Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, but like Donna Summer a decade before her, she didn't want to be typecast into just one mold. Kinda like Prince and his various musical experiments and genre-busting albums. Back then, if you are an artist known for A, you could never do B. Nowadays, even Bobby Brown is trying to do Country. LOL. I'm sure she refuted her R-n-B / Dance Music, kinda like how Prince tried to be anything but "black" until this decade when he acknowledged Sly, James Brown, and all of the other funk music that came before him.  
Some people tell me I've got great legs... | |
