BTW... Not sure which CD store you shop at but, Every Rock star I know is in the POP/Rock section. Unless your heavy metal, but people don't consider that Rock & Roll anyway!
She can be pop, she can be disco, she can be rock...she's always great!
And I would actually like to see Pat do some covers of Donna's work and Vice-versa would be nice ;)
Both great vocal women/artist.Pat's "Heart Breaker" was the first "Metal/hard rock" song I ever heard on the radio,I freaked out at 10 years old when I heard it at home all alone (I cranked the volume way up!)and 6 years later I was an Iron Maiden Fan!!
