Ah am so steel een luv weeth yoo
I'd love to see the release of "Dancing the Old Fashioned Way" - but without John Davidson and someone like Michael Buble instead. The best duets are those that were meant to be duets from the beginning, not ones where it's obvious that a star's song was altered for another vocal (such as Barry Manilow's horrible "I Believe in You and Me" with the late Whitney Houston).
Many fell into this trap after Nat & Natalie. Natalie’s effort was a hit and it made people feel like it was okay to do. IMHO it isn’t. Natalie’s sounds about as good as this kind of thing ever will. Sadder, many people remember the “duet” version instead of Nat’a vastly superior original.
The entirety of Barry’s album is truly awful and I don’t know what he was thinking. There’s not one moment of emotional honesty in it - something he’s always excelled at. It’s his very worst. Even the album art is terrible.
