      Even if she was butt ugly....with a voice like that, holy cow she can sing! But I'm glad she's pretty tho. She's just nailing her notes, her adlibs are sweet, a bit of a gruff female voice bordering on rocker. Kind of reminds me of a prime Ann Wilson of Heart. Laura is one of the G.O.A.T for sure.

      She's lip syncing. Compare this with the music video or the track. Literally exactly the same. Also her face is barely moving when she's singing some of the most difficult sections. Even the most talented singers in the world can't replicate studio performances without any changes whatsoever. They might be worse or even better, but never exact.

    • @KitTaylorOfficial

      LIsten to Michael Jackson singing Billie Jean live versus lip-syncing. Live is always slightly different, and you can hear breathing, and pitch is never spot-on perfect. It's near impossible even with in-ear monitors.

      This song is a banger for sure, but what in the world is her fascination about this "Gloria". Maybe this song should be called "Laura" because it feels like projection. Or if it's not projection maybe "Gloria" should have put a song out called, "Mind your own business, Laura". Or maybe Laura is jealous because Van Morrison wrote a song about Gloria. Who knows but Laura really needs some self-control, am I right?

Then I reheard this song, and wow, I came to the realization that Laura Brandigan is one of he most toxic people in the world. Why in the world does she care so much about "Gloria". I've had people just like her in my life and I had to get hem out. Gloria should have a song telling Laura to mind her own business and let her run her own life. And the song is contradictory as well. In one line she says "no one seems to be calling you" and then the next line is "I guess you can keep them hanging on the line". What? Who is she going to keep hanging on the line if nobody is calling? I know people like this and they are toxic. Laura needs some self-control.

    I hear her songs once in a while and I start missing her all over again. I wish she had gotten medical attention for her severe headaches. It is possible she would have survived the brain aneurysm and made a full recovery. She would be 71 now.
    Such a great strong singing voice, incredibly talented and so pretty. I very much hope she rests in peace. Heartfelt condolences to her family. Losing a loved one is such a difficult thing. 😢
    ❤ to Laura. I miss you.

Over time, this process lowers the bar for new artists, and conditions the public to accept increasingly lower standards. When very low quality, low cost, products continue to turn over a decent profit, there's no longer an incentive to invest extra money into high quality music.
