"What a Feeling" is more than just a song; it's an emotional journey that lifts the spirit and ignites determination with every note. From the opening chords, it transports you to a place of hope and optimism, where dreams are within reach and goals are attainable. Irene Cara's powerful and emotive voice guides the journey, conveying a message of empowerment and perseverance. Each word resonates with tangible passion, reminding you that you are capable of overcoming any obstacle and achieving your boldest dreams. The melody envelops you like a warm embrace, infusing strength and courage into your heart as you immerse yourself in its unforgettable tune. In summary, "What a Feeling" is a song that makes you believe in yourself, inspires you to pursue your dreams, and reminds you that within you lies limitless potential to achieve the impossible!!!!

Olivia Newton John, Irene Cara, and just slightly more recently the passing of Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. Music is very personal for the listener as much as it is to the messenger. I thank them all for sharing their voices with the world, and conjuring my own emotions through the power of song. Such a feat, to be able to positively impact people in that way. They are worth so much more than the record deals. RIP.

This is a common practice for most if not all musical guests on shows like, American Bandstand, Soul Train, Solid Gold etc. It's a time is money thing. If she were to sing it live, and made a mistake, they would have to start over and keep doing it until it was perfect. This is all scheduled, what if she was sick that day, or had other issues with her voice? They can't reschedule because of artist schedules...etc. Much easier to let her lip sync...and the average viewer doesn't notice. One take and it's done....in the can, as they say.

C&C Phx - her beauty is about God’s gift to mankind. She’s something else! Thank you Lord for the woman you made. We could never ask for anything more, from our youth into our old age. If only we really knew how to be grateful, humble, trusting, gentle, giving, strong, always true, and protective of her and for her in the truest sense. For all our weakness, shortcomings, thoughtlessness, cruelty, impatience, and selfishness toward the incredible gift You gave us, we are sorry and ask first for Your forgiveness. Give us the strength to persevere and begin anew with a clean heart to try ever harder to cherish the woman with a love like You have for us all. And please Lord, give her a humble loving gentle heart when she, also in her human weakness, lives her life together with us. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but in spite of this cold world, it can be done with the help of God’s grace.
