Bad name's double
 

I may be late to notice but anyway...

I was having a friend listen to BJ earlier today and when he heard bad name he said:"Hey, this sounds like Bonnie Tyler's If You Were a Woman!", so we downloaded it and indeed the two chorus sound very much the same. So we checked the dates these singles came out to check who might have stolen the other and guess what, both came out in 1986 and were written and/or co-written by... Desmond Child.
I'd never thought this guy's influence would have made BJ sound like Bonnie Tyler for anyone. :?

very old story...but indeed...both songs are Desmond Child songs.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do have the impression that Bonnie Tyler's version was released before Jovi's......so it was like Mr Child was attempting to turn Jovi into...ugh, something :?

It doesn't make any difference which was released first...which was written first?

hey, Bonnie Tyler is cool. I like her.

And Desmond Child tried to mkae Bon Jovi a Hit Mashine and he managed!

Bonnie Tyler? uhhhhhm well okay I admit that she's not the worst there is...

and Desmond, well thank god he didn't make synth-pop-hit-making-boy-band out of Jovi :wink:

no, they did that themselves!
