Donna is good, but ... ( 8 months ago by skyiscrying53)

Donna is good, but i would not go far to say that she pave the for Madonna, Janet and beyonce. They are a little more talented then Donna and Donna Summers had a great German producer behind her hits.

Donna Summer was ... ( 8 months ago by mascguy4upsl)

Donna Summer was the 1st modern day female pop star as we know them today. She broke down a lot of business barriers that her predecessor didn't have to confront. Besides many of today's pop stars cant even sing. Acts like Brittney, Madonna, Janet ect are all good but, they have to rely on image, gimmicks and controversy to capture attention. Their stage shows are all about dancers and lip-synching. Pure vocal talent like Donna's almost seems to be fading in pop music.

ditto. Her vocals ... ( 8 months ago by 50yoda)

ditto. Her vocals R stronger than ever. She looks great! Good for her. True talent passes the tests of time. Donna has plenty of that. This is way overdue. I'm glad she was able to take care of business!!! talent.

I tend to agree ... ( 8 months ago by ketterashley)

I tend to agree with you i think there were MANY singers that paved the way not just one singer though. So Donna can not take all the credit, i mean look at Tina Turner, Houston, Franklin, ect. There were many that paved the way.

I totally agree. ... ( 8 months ago by mascguy4upsl)

I totally agree. However, musically I think Donna's music has had a lot of influence on direction of pop music today. Her techno/Funk sound is heard in a lot of today's R&B & Dance/Pop mainstream music. Many of today's artist were influence by Whitney, Madonna & Janet who were all influence by Donna herself. Also, In her hey day the term "Pop Music" was rarely used. Her music crossed-over into so many different genres that the category of "Pop music" became more popularized by the mid 80's.

What Planet Are You From??? It's Donna Summer, not Donna Summers...

Janet is more ... ( 7 months ago by jonnj1975)

Janet is more talented than Donna Summer? Are you kidding? lol. Take a look at some of Donna's old stuff...her voice is amazing.

I know Donna's old ... ( 7 months ago by skyiscrying53)

I know Donna's old stuff and it's called disco, ok. Janet still make albums and sell out concerts since the early 80's and Donna does what? Listen, Donna has a nice voice but so did alot of others from that era.

Very well phrased ... ( 7 months ago by mrjones2u)

Very well phrased and great point! Donna deserves a lot of credit and songs like "I Feel Love" and "Love To Love You, Baby" paved the way for Madonna/Kylie Minogue dance/pop stuff and for the more sexy Madonna/Janet Jackson tracks. Go Donna!

Those ladies are ... ( 7 months ago by intre94)

Those ladies are not nearly as talented as Donna, she was truly groundbreaking, and what's funny is that Madonna and Janet have said that Donna was a major influence on them.

Actually Donna DID ... ( 7 months ago by krapug1)

Actually Donna DID the pave the way for ALL of the female entertainers that followed her. In the 1970's the women who were successful BEFORE Donna came along (Linda Rhonstadt, Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, and others never broke the "glass ceiling" in record sales, they all seemed to know their place. Donna however broke the ceiling, and them some. In 1979 when Bad Girls, the single AND album hit #1 on the charts, she was the fisrt female in 25 years to do that.

I like Debbie too, ... ( 7 months ago by mascguy4upsl)

I like Debbie too, But we all have our favorites. Donna & Debbie shared a common style during 79-80. But Vocally, I would have to say Donna is the ultimate star. I believe I have an old video interview with Debbie herself confirming this... Its all music, enjoy!

Great voice, great ... ( 6 months ago by jimmmmy41)

this is disco. what the fuck has everyone gone mad.

If Madonna, Blondie ... ( 3 months ago by mascguy4upsl)

If Madonna, Blondie, Tina are Rock & Roll females artist, then this songs must be Heavy Metal in comparison. The entire CD was Donna long time quest into her Rock and Roll roots from the 60's. The record company insisted in adding the 120 BPM to make a danceable brand of Rock. Take the beats out and you have you typical "Pat Benitar" style rock song. I don't get it, its plain old rock & roll? Is it the artist name that is affecting your ears? Which classic females do you consider more Rock?

After her 5 years ... ( 3 months ago by mascguy4upsl)

After her 5 years with Disco/pop success in the 70's, Donna spent 25 years after that trying to undo that strong image that put her in the box. She is a lot more versatile and really a true rocker at heart. She was discovered doing the Rock musical Hair. I appreciate your response, but your post is proof that many people still think of her past. I delete your response by mistake, Is there anyway you can send it back? If not, thks anyway...

thats a helluva a stigma the disco era. the same thing happened to the beegee's. although they were well established in the industry before disco. i believe it hit john melloncamp very early on aka johnny couger. that being said she may be a true rocker as you say but 25 yrs down the road she does'nt fit the rocker bill. you seem like a true fan of hers and thats cool but not the in the rockhall. i mentioned grace slick, janis joplin, ann and nancy wilson.
