'almost-forgettable 1980s power ballad?'" What is that supposed to even mean, and how dare anyone diss what is probably her most-known hit from the 70s, not the 80s? Get the title right much? and WTF is a "power ballad?" I read no further than the first line but here's the article in case anyone give a crap! I was lured in by the idea that people would pay on EBay and so on far more than an item is worth for something that no doubt reached its best-before date decades ago, and which was likely recreated with a different name many times since. https://ca.shine.yahoo.com/most-in-demand-discontinued-beauty-products-151359 599.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2014 16:45:07 -0700 From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Joni lyrics in the most peculiar places Yup.

I did a search on the title as she wrote it, and it turns out there was something in the 80s by that name, and here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i28UEoLXVFQ Never heard of it! Ha ha ha! ________________________________ From: Catherine McKay To: Lori Renee Fye Cc: JMDL Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 5:46:19 PM Subject: Re: Joni lyrics in the most peculiar places So, by the wikipedia definition of "power ballad," the writer even got that wrong. "BYT" doesn't fit that description at all. And I agree that "Yahoo Beauty" sounds like an oxymoron. Maybe there's some other song that none of us have heard of. ________________________________ From: Lori Renee Fye To: Cc: JMDL Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2014 4:37:34 PM Subject: Re: Joni lyrics in the most peculiar places > and WTF is a "power ballad?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Ballads_(disambiguation) I was thinking maybe Yahoo Beauty (that's funny in itself) columnist Laura Sherman was referring to Janet Jackson's song, "Got 'til It's Gone," but that wasn't released until 1997. I'd like to know WTF Laura Sherman is on about.
