I fucking Love this song! JLT and I were born on the same day (August 2nd)! So what if Dio's version is more powerful or anything? JLT is a great singer and he did a great job, no need to compare Rainbow singers, just enjoy the magic ^^
Turner is not Dio, however he was and still is a great singer. He should receive more credit for what he is than what he isn't. I think he does a good job on the "Bonnet tunes" also. Over the Rainbow is awesome-might as well call it Rainbow-Ritchie's kid is a satisfactory replacement.
@-Schiaffer: Replace Dio for JLTurner ,to change into a more ,,Pop,, RockBand ?????? I do think you forget about Graham Bonnet here, He was the man replacing RJ Dio!! And did a Great Job , Since You''ve Been Gone, All Night Long ...to stay ,,PopRock !!! Graham was also the man who had to do a lot of ,,Dio Songs,, live ,listen to Stargazer or Long live R&R as Graham Bonnet''s singing. Forget RJ Dio on a Power Ballad ????? .......again I do not agree !!! Do some research !!
I agree with IowaRocker1, MTV used to play real music but now it sucks big time. Too much (c)rap, gangsta etc etc. Not really a music channel anymore for me. And yes each singer had his own style. Rainbow was a superb band, Rock on forever! Peace all!
Joe Lynn Turner had to come into Rainbow and sing material originally done by four very different singers - Ian Gillan, David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, and Graham Bonnet. (Gillan and Dio have some especially loyal and vocal fans, too.) That couldn't have been easy. I think he did pretty good.
Joe Lynn Turner is no Ronnie James Dio on this song. He is a good singer in his own right: and even Bobby Rondinelli really doesn't have the impact of Cozy Powell: although he is a good drummer- Cozy was a Superstar drummer and more powerful.
Unfair to compare Dio to Turner. Two completely different singers. Both rock n' roll greats. Blackmore felt like changing the band to a "pop" rock band, for the most part, and he succeeded with Turner. Forget Dio on a power ballad, but he's got the goth/medieval metal to the tee.

without Dio it is not so good. I really miss Rainbow.
I'll go to an Over the Rainbow concert( with Blackmore's son and JLT.)
I hope it 'll be good. Does anyone saw yet this band?

Remember seeing this on MTV when MTV used to have music in the 80's. Great stuff. Rainbow, no matter the singer, one of the great bands.
