Ted Talk | Born to sing | Taylor Dayne

My Ted talk is part memoir and part performance piece and parts of the memoir I'm currently working on.
A birds eye view into some of my journey 💜

[@thomasdanz2969]

I'm speaking for the whole world who loves a true classic who sing's from the depths of her heart and soul , thank you taylor dayne for your beautiful uplifting spiritual positive singing to the world

[@rice6682]

No wonder why she has such a beautiful voice, it always comes out from her heart and soul.

[@robertwiegman1]

Was so blessed to have grown up in the 80s listening to her :)

[@originaldeftom]

She is the lighter sister of Donna Summer, a decade plus later. Equally underrated and with this she should become a Broadway actress or at least a Pixar voice over. Get this woman to work!!

[@CK-ok4uj]

She is one of the DIVA's DIVA but seriously underrated. Her vocal is way above the moon. Amazing singer in history

[@treasure2behold282]

I was riveted by her delivery. 👏👏👏 It was a mini concert in a speech. ❤

[@lilithrogers5204]

This is such a special way to tell her story. Thank you Taylor.

[@freddyfaze25tiktok48]

❤️I love your music Ms. Taylor. I was a teen in the 80’s and you were the 💣 bomb!! 🙏 Thank you!!

[@ro992]

*You are a gift to the WORLD* ! *Never forget THAT* ! *A great singer, & a great speaker indeed* !! 🏆

[@kristaparkinsonshollywoodc3149]

Love Taylor Dayne!! Use your tool, your gift, your VOICE! I had no idea that every song had love or heart in it. Amazing! "Born to Sing" was beautiful. Your voice continues to be golden!

[@thomasdanz2969]

beautiful excellent speech taylor , thank you for sharing your experience with the whole world

[@TheNormanmurk]

I've never heard so much emotion and on so many levels in a talk in my life. I really wanted to just hug her. It makes me so upset when I see others hurting that I just want to hold them and let them know they're not alone, it's ok to express yourself, and I'll be there for you not in a way I feel necessary but in whatever way You need me to be.

[@goldenthug9]

Her life needs to be in theater someone write a play please

[@joelalexander4513]

I think she's already done that. :)

[@MoonlightNothing]

Stunning! So important to listen to her example. 🕊

[@ronrendon]

Her account is heartbreaking. Her dad was my mom, always drunk and beating on me and my sister angela, so many nights, beaten for absolutely no reason. She's sober now but the damage, well, yeah, we are both healing slowly but like Taylor Dane I don't think I'll ever marry and or trust another human being. Thanks, Taylor Dane for sharing your story with us. It's "comforting" to know there are others out there that went through similar trauma.

[@Larsen3306]

[@treasure2behold282]

I can relate. 🙏

[@marlysgoodyear7970]

Trauma is hard.💗🌷💓

I hope you find your one. Mabye, he's waiting in heaven. Cause the show most on.

[@markzachenberg2797]

This woman could have succeeded at anything. So smart, articulate, wise. Beauty, and that voice.

[@hippylong]

From the first day I saw you to my last day on earth... you make my heart go pitter /patter. Thank you for being worth it...

[@kodzowilkinson2818]

Dear Taylor. So happy i am able to see you on fb and know more of you. You eould never be able to know how you affected me as a child growing up. All i had was music and your songs/voice to comfort me ftom the 'harsh' environment i was in. Humbly, Kodzo.

[@juannolasco2472]

My favorite voice ever!! Man i miss the 80s! Love u Taylor

[@user-mv2tg8hc8c]

Her voice is so amazing! She sings sincerely and from her heart which is an even more amazing combination!

[@SABOREAME68]

Sublime what this artist has bestowed upon us with her talented gift. Having said that, she's a survivor and for that I applaud her by given those women a voice by her own experiences in life.

[@lloydrobert6182]

You're beautiful Taylor. You hooked me on 'I'll be your shelter', and I love you so much.

[@song4mozart]

It's my favorite song of hers, too! ❤

[@1rocknroy]

I was working nights in a hot humid factory and heard her on the intercom singing in the 80s. She is the 80s to me. So inspiring, I'll be Your Shelter, a Diane Warren song. So inspiring.

[@lloydrobert6182]

@@1rocknroy And the 'hot, humid' atmosphere lent so much to the song! I felt that in your words. 👍♥️

[@joes2514]

You're one of the special ones Taylor. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

[@erikamiller9505]

Absolutely lovely as always. Well said.❤️ My dad too was first generation here. Nanny was from Kiev…and the Jews had to leave, or be killed. Somewhere in between World War I and World War II the immigrated here to United States, through Ellis island.

[@iamjustbeingji7269]

I love this! I always listen to your songs. I relate to you. Truly, music is something that I relied on since my life has been chaotic. I love your story. Thank u for sharing this and it inspired me as your songs always do. 💕 may we hear more songs from you ☺️

[@taylordayne]

I'm so glad!

[@mattdearment6171]

Your greatest gift is your understanding of life. Your are gift from God to be honored, loved and trusted. Your voice is an added bonus so you are twice blessed. You owe the world nothing but gave freely. You have given so much joy through so much pain. You are special not because you are Taylor Dayne but rather special because you made the most of your gift and you are a daughter of God. With no voice,no talent and no fame you would be just as special. There is only one Taylor Dayne and that is a great thing. You are not only sexy,classy and beautiful but very astute and wise. You had it all and now you have more. Ill always love you as in sisterly love. Thanks for all the music and hard work. Love your music and your insight on life. God bless, Lmd.

[@CantFightFate75]

Your music has helped me through many rough times and lifts me up with your beautiful voice…..🥰

[@Sansifer1]

Amazing! I've never seen such a brilliant and realistic performance of this wonderful singer in any other singer.Congratulations and keep delighting us with your wonderful voice;-)

[@AConcernedCitizen420]

I am 42 and never married! But I would risk it all for someone like you Taylor! You're such a wonderful woman!

[@claudiaguelli7688]

Wow !!! What a great woman, so beautiful inside and out .. and she sings like an angel!

[@MikeyBagofDonuts]

That was great! Surprisingly personal and deep!

[@LuckyCedarlane]

#BornToSing need to be a musical movie ! and a broadway show !!!!! maybe even a show when the led on stage could be a guy or girl .. THankYou So Much for this TaylorDayne and all the Music ... #afan

[@rudolphhohnenberg2809]

I am discovering that I have my own gift too, my voice, not like yours but it's great. I didn't know that I could develop it, but believe me that when I sing and the people clap me , I feel so happy, of sharing my happiness with a public. I don't want to leave the mic! 🤣

[@sdlonewolf]

An Amazing singer one of the best! Nice to here your story about your parents and their struggle!

[@pL3Ym0b1L]

I'm now feeling moved and also inspired Taylor. Bless you. Keep on, purposely, sowing seeds of salvation and sharpening your gifted love tool even more.

Taylor does have a gift .love her voice listen to her singing for 30 years.I was in a band in middle school sang loved it miss it so much.

[@SoundArtsOnline]

This music has a powerful purpose. Thank you for sharing your story..... Lisa Erhard ( Artist's Way class)

[@MJJYANA]

Tell it to my heart has always been one of my favorit songs. I too grew up with non emotional (and abusive) parents. The love and heart you were talking about has always been my search, because it was so natural to me. It took me toxic and unhealthy relationships to begin to search it within myself. Finally in my 40+ I found some love in myself and now I share the most pure unconditional love with my love. You were born to sing to spread what it's all about 💓

[@marlysgoodyear7970]

OMG...you are so beautiful and so full of love. Plus, so Authentic. I listen to you all the time. Now, I realize how special you are.

[@albertbenjamin8204]

You are a beautiful spirit and a beautiful woman. God bless you and may you always have happiness.

[@thomasdanz2969]

I believe that taylor you sing from down deep within your heart and soul and what you have been through life in your career as a professional celebrity singer and I love you so much and you are self explanatory in all your music and if infact anyone knows about lyrics to your songs they would agree

[@peterdurkin8980]

I will always love you Taylor!! Your still Beautiful woman!!!😍🙏👋👌

[@SamiJumppanen]

Thank you for sharing this! A reminder of how we are broken, more or less, and nobody is perfect. Still, we're carrying your perfect legacy, each day. Thank you for it. What I know about love is that there is the thing we call love, and then there is the love itself, and it doesn't come from us. I hope you reach it, or have already reached it. We all need it, and nobody can take it away. We just need to ask.

[@jessecline4226]

Loved your voice from the moment I first heard and laid eyes on you. I remember a couple times seeing you at Concord College (now University) in the late 80's early 90's. Beautiful voice, beautiful woman & a beautiful soul from what I have seen. Love your version of "Can't get enough of your love"

[@mgeronimo9523]

Jesse Cline Jesse, I was at that concert at Concord College too...just so you know it was April 25, 1990 on a Wednesday!!! I was in the front and sang every song...oh....I just saw her a few weeks back and she is stunning!!!! I got a picture with her....she is Fabulous!!!

[@michaelhutchison2754]

I loved you remembering Price singing Nothing Compares To You.

[@MeiZu0606]

Taylor must be in Broadway!!

[@pannoni8449]

She was in 2001 in Aida, appeared in a local Syracuse play several years ago, and nearly appeared in a Funny Girl revival in the mid-90s, but Jules Verne passed on. Her mother Laura was an inspiring Broadway actress at one point, but only appeared off-off-off Broadway in her career. Perhaps she could now appear on Roseanne as now that show is back on, the fact was shortly before the original version was cancelled, she was proposed to be added to the cast.

[@ChaChingSeeker]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift! Truly inspiring! 🤟✌🙏🌹

[@created4passion442]

Yeah I enjoyed your songs in the 80's when I lived in Miami they would always play your songs when I was up on stage always thought your voice was beautiful and this TED Talk you encouraged me cuz I was wondering what you were up to these days but it also encouraged me to know I was on the right track today putting some of my story my Memoir also up on KZbin. God bless you Taylor!
