Not bad but if Ritchie wanted to re-visit his old DP and Rainbow stuff then he should have either reformed Rainbow permanently or formed another rock band. Candice Night is a very good singer (and gorgeous :)) but I dont think her voice is powerful enough for the Hard Rock songs that this band play.
I don't get why they'll allow this on youtube but they won't allow the original. Just doesn't make sense. Maybe the original version is just too good for youtube ;)
When you mentioned the parts in "Self Portrait" where the lyrics are "flashes of lightning that burns only for me" and "down, down," Dio put power in those lyrics, but not Candice. But I could see Ronnie saying that Candice did pretty good on "Rainbow Eyes."
Of course her voice lacks power compared to Dio,but still she does pretty good.Listen to the part where she sings "flashes of lightnings that burns for only me.." Also the "down,down" part..
Speeding up "Rainbow Eyes" wasnt wise,it lacks passion.She didnt put her heart in the song the way did did.
You think she did good on "Self Portrait"?! Her version of "Self Portrait" lacked power--compare it to the original with Dio. This song was written more for her. I think the Dio version is better, but this is still a very good version.
They breathe new life into it but the questions are... is that such a good thing? And is it important? The original cannot be touched, it's fricken imortal, but nevertheless, there is that killer soloing to suffice, so not all is lost here, she is just tedious, otherwise it's great... but the questions are still valid.
Not bad but the original has much more feelings... Too bad that Ritchie wasn't able to cover his own song...

Yah, I quite like this, but I agree with most people, Rainbow's version was better.

I think it's a pretty good version, but I may have to fall back on the Dio version.
