Top Gun was the block buster around the world in 1986! Top Gun's Love Theme: Berlin's Take My Breath Away was a huge hit! It's very hard for a cover to get near to the original! I can only say: Sandy's version is okay. I'm kind of missing Tom Cruise & Kelly McGillis' passionate loving (from the love scenes). When the title is 激情 you would expect more. But the performance was kind of passionless! That's a disappointment. Like I said before: maybe I'm older & got pickier! Perhaps it's bit harsh!
Top Gun那套戲當年真的是大熱, 我都不知在電視看了幾多萬次. 它把已經幾紅的Tom Cruise推到他事業的另一個level, 也同時hit了首「Take My Breath Away」出來, 個MV有d被播到殘的感覺, 這一類power ballad不是我個人喜好, 雖然也不dislike. 憶蓮的版其實比原版soft, 我比喜歡中文版多一點. 雖然if you measure by the "words", ;) I can see why it's not 激情 enough. 那時憶蓮的唱功也有待改善.
撞歌:
黃敏華當年都有首《誰願意知道》(來自《悟》嗰隻碟),
歌詞係講一個失意少女嘅心態。
Thanks for black lab's info.. 加番黃敏華嗰版了... 雖然個人它比不上其如兩個版.
black lab, thank you for sharing!
Well, comparing to others Zeta Wong's version is the worse! Now, Sandy's version is so much better now ;-) If Berlin' version=100 (perfect), Sandy's=80 (passionless but has heart/feeling) & Zeta's=50 (heartless, no feeling: "...who wants to know?...")!
I like other Zeta's song. But this one is bad! Perhaps the lyrics was the problem. Maybe when Zeta was recording this song with her thought: who wants to listen to this crap/lyrics? And so it was reflected in her singing "...who wants to know?...")!
Do u need Seiko Matsuda's version?
Really? 聖子都有唱過這首歌嗎? 唱日文定英文的呀?

Not sure whether there's a Japanese one! But this one sucks (her English is poor)! Her Englsih was better on the duet "The Right Combination" with Donnie Wahlberg (NKOTB) & liked that English Album!
;-) another one for your spreadsheet
