comment lang. I am spending the night with a bottle of cheap fruit wine, playing free cell, and watching yahoo music videos when Jessica SImpson appears with her rendition of my most beloved secret indulgence fave of a song, Tom Cruise's top Gun theme song, Take my Breath Away. Man, did she ever ruin it for me! The sultriness is overlapped with shrilliness. The passion is undermined with shallowness. The richness is gone, replaced by something runny and thin. JS should just stick to the likes of ...Boots for Walking. She near invented that character and it fits her. And I actually like her in that video. Purposely challenging and provocative and saba! And please not destroy for me my pristine (!) childhood memory of my first glimpse of a real kiss on the silver screen! That song is perfect for the dusky thick air as Tom Cruise and Mimi Rogers rode into the sunset. Strong and deep and passionate. Top Gun's version of that song was/still is hot!
I am not usually weird on other people's versions of songs, until this one.
