Toni Tennille performs I've Got the Music In Me Kiki Dee

[coolsweetgroovy]

Toni Tennile rules

[enoboye]

Nah.

[1986billyk]

that isn't toni tennille's stle . she put out such a good girl image that's a hard sell for her as this is kind of a bad girl song. where as kiki as sweet and adorablke as she can be has a little more of that sassiness in her persona . thats what sells this song. technically kiki does the song better with the right timing and pauses as toni rushes through the number like....yeah this aint me lets get it over with.lol

[Tim777G]

See looks good for 70 years old

[goldheartbadge]

"I love Toni Tennille to bits, but she doesn't have the range! THIS IS MY-Y-Y LI-I-I-IFE!"

That was, of course, my impersonation of the UK's No.1 pop/jazz diva.

[coolsweetgroovy]

Wow awesome

[VrgniaMailman]

Love this song, and I also loved Toni Tennille, but the sum of the two parts is a LOT LESS than the two parts. This version is pretty bad. A very big disappointment. Why didn't they keep the original music and let Toni try to sing it?? Because that would have been smart

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

Toni can sing wow, got this one as well as she kind of gives me a bit of chills when she sings when it goes no foolish dream to make me cry, kind of does make me laugh, and this song really brings me a lot of the good old days to me everyday, and this is the best song ever, from 1974, and thats really a great song, and I do kind of like her long hair a bit. THAT'S A GREAT COVER VERSION OF A 1974 SONG, AND I LOVE THAT ONE. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS ONE! I LOVED IT! :)

[Julez0217]

my choir sang this last year, this song is so awesome

[anonymusum]

You can´t compare both singers! Kiki Dee is a soprano whereas Toni is a mezzo with the tendency to alto. And look how great she reacts after failing to hit the second falsetto tone. And by the way: this is live.

[jemb2000]

In terms of technique, Toni Tennille's isn't good here - she must have been nervous or something because her breathing is off.

[orangeclark]

Toni Tennille IS NOT as good of a singer as Kiki Dee, when Kiki sings this song! Kiki Dee blows her out of the water!!

[misshley]

What are you talking about? Toni Tennille IS a good singer!!! Kiki Dee is the original to do this song, but there's nothing wrong with Toni singing it.

[orangeclark]

Didn't say their was nothing wrong with Toni Tennille singing this son, she just is not a better singer than Kiki Dee. I actually like Toni Tennille, but her vocals do not come close to matching Kiki Dee's

[misshley]

Oh. So you actually like Toni Tennille? I didn't know that. Kiki Dee is the original and like they say, nothing like the original. I really like Toni Tennille vocals with EVERYTHING she sings. To each is own.

[orangeclark]

true, I like women singers in general. I think their voices are made for singing. Male singers are not as good as females!

[misshley]

I never thought about that.  But you could be right. Although there are some male singers that are good. Females are probably the best though.

[VrgniaMailman]

Oh yeah?? Females are terrific, yes, but what about Elton John, Freddie Mercury (of Queen), Paul McCartney, Vaughn Monroe, Roger Daltrey, Three Dog Night, etc., etc. Ever heard an all-female choir? Yes, they sing like angels, but the singing gets much, much better when some excellent male voices are added, tenors, baritones, and bass. Reverse is also true. An all-male chorus can sound great, but the singing takes a big leap forward when sopranos and altos are added.

[misshley]

Did you see the video of Toni Tennille doing another Kiki Dee song, Don't Go Breakin' My Heart? Toni sings that one with John Travolta. You'd probably prefer Kiki Dee's version with Elton John since you're a Kiki Dee fan. To each is own.

[dm5401]

I think it depends on the song. †hey are both great singers.

[coolsweetgroovy]

To me both Toni and Kiki did good jobs

[dm5401]

You could think of appreciating each singer on their own merits. When you say one is so much better than another, you lose the ability to enjoy Toni for what she can do very well. It is your choice to limit your self. Are apples better than oranges?

[dergola]

¡¡Great voice in this cover of Tori Tennille!!

[misshley]

You are so right!!!

[tennille1998]

I think the glasses are pretty cool and there's nothing ill advised about her hair. I think it looks pretty cool.

[Mrmarcoblair]

Wow, Toni Tennille is one fine looking woman and can sing like nobody's business. No offense but I don't know why she decided to sing the older standards, when this style of music is most suited for her

[tennille1998]

She does good with older standards. Perhaps she could sing both!

[nhgreg29]

Absolutely wonderful! Toni is one versatile singer!

[guitar49]

Toni Tennille is a fantasic singer.I love her voice.

[Mrmarcoblair]

Toni should have continue singing songs like this rather than the old fashioned songs she started singing in 1984 and their career would have continued but she loves it so, so do we.

[tennille1998]

You are so right!!

Her voice just warms my heart!!

[tennille1998]

I love her voice too! Her voice just warms my heart!!

[Danmark30]

I remember this is the first song Toni sang on the CAptain and Tennille show when it premiered on TV.

[isandrich]

Wow!!!

[wj5mjk]

Awesome ! this was also the very first song she sang on their show in the 70's.

[gryphongirl8]

is there a cd with toni singing this song? I love it! let me know...

[DA90027]

I love Toni, she was underrated! Then and now!

[tennille1998]

You are so right!! I love Toni too! She is way underrated - what a shame!!
