Bonnie Tyler is a singer, not a pop-idol-cutie who lip synchs, but a real singer who carries through a song, and not some short, sugary, forgotten imitation of a song, but a song that sometimes verges on overlong but never overstays its welcome.
"I need a Hero" is an example of something I cannot see any of the top 100 US singers being able to carry off, or, for that matter, anyone else in the world. It is bitter, and it starts as if it is a rant about the men but shows it is an inner conflict that drives it forward.
Watch out, she is addictive.
Unlike the "songbirds" of today.
