Bonnie Tyler - If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man) 

Still very proud of this song, and the album it comes from. All credit to the amazing Desmond Child 💖

anyone from September 2024?

Bonjovi : You Give Love a Bad Name Bonnie Tyler : If You Were A Woman Ava max : Kings and Queen

This song has been sampled SOOOO many times but few people know where the sample originated. I absolutely love Bonnie. One of my favorite female vocalists. Such a powerful set of pipes on that woman!!! ❤️ 🎶 🎙️ 🎸

It’s sad this song didn’t get the recognition it deserved at the time. It’s a great song!

bonnie tyler is a legend and she is still going strong

This song was really ahead of its time. and has such an important message that even modern society forgets constantly

The best part of this song, is that both the lyrics and the videoclip can go beyond gender. It can be a metaphor to war, peace and acceptance altogether. Now that's art.

This song was composed by Desmond Child. He also wrote the song for Bon Jovi called "You Gave Love a Bad Name", that is why these two things have the same melody in the chorus.

Im 12 and im obsessed with this song. It's amazing!❤

My brain listening to this song: If you… All the queens… A bad name!

I feel like the song actually speaks about the difficulties of being a man in society, and the difficulties of being a woman in society. Sweet message, I like how it speaks to both genders, and not just women and completely ignoring the struggles men also face in this world.

Honestly thank you Ava Max....i didn't know that song. This is why i think sampling is important in music, it can introduce you to hidden gems like this 🙌

Even after all this time, her voice is still beyond legendary. It is eternal.

That voice... no words to explain it Bonnie, you are goddess 🎤❤️

"IF YOU WERE A WOMAN" - Bonnie Tyler "KINGS & QUEENS" - Ava Max

Ava Max' Kings and Queens led me here! And I got obsessed with both songs

This song released the same year my mom was born, in 1986. I'm too young to really understand how the world was like in the 80s, but I'm really glad the whole aesthetic of this decade is coming back. Because the 80s had a lot of incredible songs and talented artists to come out of that time period.

If it was possible to marry a song, I'd pick this one for sure. The instrumental has that undercurrent of synth with that consistent, thrumming drumbeat, the rhythm of the lyrics throughout the entire song but especially during "I look at you, you look away", the backup vocalists supporting and enhancing Bonnie's vocals, which sound so emotional and gutteral (exactly how I'd want a song with this topic to be sung!), the sax solo, the higher notes in the final 2 choruses, the intense outro that feels like it culminating in a fever pitch... It's all so perfect, I'll never get tired of listening to it ❤

This masterpiece moves me every day! I've been listening to it for months now, in the morning when I get up, when I'm getting ready for work, when I get home from work, while I'm in the shower. The energy of this song rises to the heaven. What Magic Affair's Omen III is to the '90s, this piece is to the '80s. Aesthetics, energy, words, music, video, fashion. All! A kiss at the end. And that glamorous walk on the way out. Fantasy!😮❤

Yes Ava Max and Bon Jovi and of course Desmond Child wrote this - produced by Jim Steinman. The video is peak epic 80s extra - Bonnie’s trademark gorgeous rasping vocals, radiant and resplendent with big hair big shoulder pads leather dress and diamanté earrings, huge spider’s web, all the extras from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax video, group synchronised interpretive dance and a huge saxophone solo. Why on earth was this not the massive hit it deserved to be? Criminal that this wasn’t huge!

A total underrated masterpiece encapsulating what the 80s were. Thabks for this amazing track and please don't ever let it die because this song is still relevant to this very day.

I "found" Bonnie Tyler back in the early 80's and still love the authenticity of her and her music. My daughter is now 15 and sometimes when I'm driving her to her friends, we crank up the volume and listen to Bonnie and sing at the top of our voices!

I remember when this video came out and I was kinda blown away. It was not just the great visuals and Bonnie's sexy voice, but what was said! This great song by Bonnie Tyler is very prevalent now! Seems it was ahead of it's time. I LOVE Bonnie Tyler!

To me, this will always be one of @BonnieTylerOfficial best (and most underrated) songs. Always been one of my favorites. It's sad this song didn't get the love it deserved back in the 80s (so much so, Desmond Child rewrote it for Bon Jovi into You Give Love a Bad Name, which charted well). Still, this was the song that made my (at the time when I first heard it in 1996 at the age of 14) gay self fall in love with Bonnie Tyler.

Bonnie Tyler is very a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice 😊Felicitations 👏🏻👏🏻🎤I love this song, I love Bonnie Tyler 😍

I love this. No body belts out the lyrics with passion like they used to these days .

Tekst piosenki: How's it feel to be a woman How's it feel to be a man Are we really that different Tell me where we stand I look at you, you look away Why do you say, we're night and day I'd like to try, another way Oh baby, for just one day If you were a woman and I was a man Would it be so hard, to understand That a heart to heart, and we do what we can If you were a woman and I was a man If you were a woman and I was a man How's it feel to be the hunter How's it feel to be the prey Is there really a reason For this game we play I look at you, you look away Why do you say, we're night and day I'd like to try, another way Oh darling, for just one day If you were a woman and I was a man Would it be so hard, to understand That a heart to heart, and we do what we can If you were a woman and I was a man If you were a woman and I was a man Hey, we're just two people trying to love Oh but how, how can we love With this wall between us, holding us back If you were a woman and I was a man Would it be so hard, to understand That a heart to heart, and we do what we can If you were a woman and I was a man If you were a woman and I was a man If you were a woman and I was a man Would it be so hard, to understand That a heart to heart, and we do what we can If you were a woman and I was a man If you were a woman and I was a man

This song is just vibes, upon vibes, upon more vibes.. it’s now 3am and I’m still vibing 😂 The legendary Bonnie Tyler is eternal 🔥

I LOVE THIS SONG

This song is still amazing after 35 years, Bonnie really is a talented woman.

A legendary classic. I still come back & it is still as exciting as the first time I heard it when I was a teenager! Time-defying masterpiece, and that voice, oh my God that voice!

2:49 sorry but this woman is so gorgeous

Damn her vocal is out of this world

MY FAVE TRACK FROM BONNIE. I CAN'T JUST PLAY IT ONCE. I PLAY IT AT LEAST 7 TIMES IN A ROW. IT JUST STICKS TO YOUR BRAIN, IN A ROCKIN' GOOD WAY. LOVE BONNIE'S VOCALS🥰

She is the best.

It's September 2021, Let's see how many people come back to this song everyday, this song is legendary

I love the comeback of the 80s in modern pop. Ava and Dua are doing an incredible job

“Shot through the heart and you’re to blame! You give love a bad name” “To all of the Queens who are fighting alone, baby you are not dancing on your own.”

This song is my favourite song of Bonnie Tyler. The clip video is really beautiful. And Bonnie is just a wonderful woman, I love her voice ❤

After years of listening only I NEED A HERO & TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART now I discover this one amazing song and it's my fav one of Bonnie!

Love this song! Bonnie Tyler you’re awesome

Once i got to listen "Kings and Queens" by Ava Max, first thing in my mind was "this looks like the Bon Jovi song". Then i checked and saw Bon Jovi's song is sampled from Bonnie's LOL. Pop music music evolving throughout the ages, iconic!!

God, Bonnie's outfit is pure ICON. The hair, the shoulder pads, the tassels, the sharp eye makeup, the earrings. Pure goddess material.

Pattie Smith : Because the night belongs to lovers. But this song feels much better dear Bonnie. Many loves from Turkey ❤

April 2020, is anyone else listening to this masterpiece? For me, this is a favorite song performed by Bonnie Tyler.

I have loved this lady... since i heard her songs for the first time.in the 80´s. I am her first fan.. I love her voice, her eyes, her preformance. all..!!!

This was a very good song. Loved the hook for the chorus...Desmond Child is great for that. He's worked with so many artists

One of my favorite song

one of the most beautiful persons i have ever seen. For more than 40 years that has been my opinion. OMG we are getting old/er 😉

How did this song not win #Eurovision?

I love this! And Im going on a throwback Thursday to the 80s; so much fun! It feels like the general gist of this music scene that I've come across so far at least, represents tough ass exterior motivated by an intense and sensitive fire of the soul 😍like I basically really feel these people lived by what they believed in, it totally gives me good vibes!

There should always be peace and harmony.

bonnie tyler still being my fav songer

1:06 "YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME..."

Definitivamente la mejor musica de la historia del mundo se escribió, se produjo y se cantó en la mejor decada: los 80s. Bonnie Tyler una de mis artistas favoritas de la epoca. Lo mejor de lo mejor 80s music forever

Bonnie Tyler yılların eskitemedigi ve eskitemeyecegi bir ses ve müzikalite.Mukemmel bir müzik.🙏

Such a great tune! No wonder Desmond reworked for Bon Jovi too. 2 amazing songs by 2 amazing artists from the same seed!

Beautiful music ❤

What a extravaganza of a music video!! Wow wow wow. Brilliant production with a super catchy pop diddy. I have this masterpiece on 12" vinyl and a 7" vinyl. I ❤❤❤ Bonnie Tyler ❤❤❤ This should have been a big top ten record on the billboard hot 100. It was only top 10 in France where it reached number 6 smart people in France. Check out another song that sounds similar to this classic "Where Were You Last Night" by Swedish hottie Ankie Bagger its also fantastic ❤❤❤

Bonnie Taylor is a legend and still going strong in music in 2021. Man and woman we ain't that different

Ava's song is great, but nothing compares to the feeling old songs give, so i will always choose the original

2024??

🎶You give love a bad name.🎶

I was born in 1972 and I didn't know that this song existed. The hook is so catchy that I'm surprised it didn't chart.

Im so obsessed with the chorus. I feel like Rambo and Arnold wearing sunglasses and holding heavy gun ready for war. Thanks Ava max for brought me here.

Шикарный вокал. И правда, певица с бритвами в горле. И эти бритвы ранят с первых нот. И оторваться невозможно.

We missed this song at Kilučiai legends festival, Bonnie. Thank you for amazing show! 🎉

Fantastic song...i play it loud driving at night ❤

love these 80s girls so much

This song will never get old

The 80s are the golden era of music

Love you Bonnie Tyler for your songs and albums and acting ❤❤❤😊😊😇😇😍

Desmond Child is a musical genius.

Uma mulher maravilhosa, músicas lindas que vem na memória passados esplêndidos. É o maximo

They simply don't make songs like this anymore, this is a masterpiece

Can't stop listening. Her voice is so good!

Veo que muchos se tomaron el mensaje de la letra enserio mientras yo babeando por Bonnie Tyler q mujeron Diosa !!! 😍😍😍❤❤❤

Saw you in Krakow this year, will again in Wroclaw at the end, xoxo

I wish we could go back to this time in music history. It looks like there was so much fun, originality, and freedom! ❤❤❤

If you were a woman and i was a man... Shot through the heart, and you're to blame... To all of the kings and the queens on their thrones... Or is it just me?

Wow this is brilliant. Bold stuff for 1986! Wow!

Talento letra significado todo para transmitir por medio de la música lo que se quiere decir . Simplemente Expectacular
