In this version of this song, the Roland D-50 patch "Fantasia" was heard.

I didn't know she covered this song in live performance. Tina sounds awesome! It would be nice to hear her revisit this style of Soul influenced Dance-pop.

[@tur74d56]

She won’t perform any of her old songs before Chains , and hasn’t to this day

[@fantasia243645]

She is no Whitney but no can be. However, her lyric articulation is off, her vocal power was stunted due to her weak breathing, her stage presence was lacking, and her vocals didn't move. I felt like she sung the song with almost no change in volume with vocal variety. In my humble opinion, the band sounded better than Tina while she was just okay.

fantasia243645 Chile lol

[@Hulk2k6]

Bare in mind she was relatively young and a unknown at this point. She did get better as she aged.
