[@tatesmith9085]

from somethign i heard. shes tryign to put together an all female metal group. Lizzy Hale was trying to help her with that. honestly so many bands only having female leads makes it feel like people dont think the girls can play as good or something but there are several out there that could easily rock out as well as any of the guys.

[@joshuaburba2905]

Ms. Formica, as someone old enough to remember when A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 came out, and when Dokken was a big deal, I just want to say that you more than did justice to this song. This cover was outstanding from beginning to end, and this is not an easy song to sing. You absolutely nailed it. Well done, and God bless.

[@joshuaburba2905]

@Scott Jarry Thank you.

[@codacreator6162]

Me, five! George Lynch lived in the Valley about then, along with Rob Halford and Alice Cooper, both of whom still live here, and a gaggle of others. Next to Eddie Van Halen (and I mean RIGHT NEXT) George was my favorite guitarist (at least until I discovered John Sykes). I always thought if Don Dokken could have just sucked it up and rode the wave, Dokken could have been so much bigger... Oh, well. It was great fun while it lasted!

[@sonicmayhym]

#1 your confidence and execution were top notch...#2 great song choice for your voice...#3 the highs at the end...money!!! you have really come into your own moriah...and doing this song only solidifies the absolute fact that should you have been born sooner, don would have been out of a job..just saying...i am not a young man and know this song and the 80's well..hands down best vocal performance that i have ever heard of the song and sorry don, but she's got you here...you shine..keep on shining..and thanks for sharing..much respect.be well.

[@siren481]

Dude..Agreed she nailed it. I am 5 years Bel Canto trained, have trained with Robert Mason, and others. Her vocal authority and execution are stunning. There are notes where she is in full head voice, where Don had to use "full throttle" falsetto. I just love listening to this song with Moriah singing, I would almost venture to say, it was the way Don heard it in his head. Now, there is No Way! She has Don in Any capacity on this tune. First, with all respect females sing in higher registers than males, Don was a full grown man hitting these EXACT same notes which are near impossible for most male professional singers. Second, Don had to write this masterpiece vocally (lyrics aside). The feel, nuances, range, the core is all Don Dokken. It's hard to do this, way hard. Did I say way hard? My hat is so far off it is on the ground for her, I can't stop listening to it, but Don Dokken is a vocal legend, she does not have him, yet......... Thanks for letting me chime in.
