i don't claim to be an authority on the subject...i don't really listen to much country nowadays (except for the folkier-based stuff that doesn't have fiddles or pop lyrics)...but growing up, i saw the mandrell show, i saw the pop-glamour, she was definitely aiming for a pop audience...

"crossover" doesn't have to be a bad word...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...i think dolly parton doing pop music often doesn't work, she's kind of back to her roots now...i think when a country song has a catchphrase in it (like "save a horse" or "redneck woman" or "here's a quarter" like something on a bumper sticker), then it's a Southern form of pop music...but generalizing isn't fair sometimes...at the same time, all you have to do is look at the history, i'm not far off...

@NurseD2000 agreed...swift and lambert would be pop-country...i would say that barbara mandrell's sound straddled adult contemporary pop and country music...it wasn't strictly pop...just my opinion...i also found johnny cash to be more folk and glen campbell to be adult contemporary as well...but again, i'm looking at it as a rootsy thing...dolly parton dabbled in disco at one point and bluegrass...

@jimjr155 as far as women singers go shes in the top 10 of all time as far as im concerned you want to talk fake country look at all the taylor swifts and kellie lamberts of today
-
fun song.

@jimjr155 It's also what a lot of country sounded like at the time. Not everything labeled as country has to have twang and fiddles. This song won an American Music Award for Favorite Country Single.

i don't see how this is a country song...she maybe has a slight drawl, but that's the only thing that's country about this to my ear...i remember my parents watching her variety series on tv, with her two sisters...

@jimjr155 This is actually a crossover song, but considering it was a Billboard #1 country song and peaked at #102 on the pop chart, I've labeled it country.
