Favourite of the big hit soppy ballads from Gloria Estefan

[BoysForSeles]

Gloria just didn't have the Latino flavoured bongo frenzied pop hits, she could do a glossy, drippy ballad as well as any of them. Below are the three biggies though. Which is your fave?

Her new album is very good, such a shame her profile has slid so much. Don't Wanna Lose You Now is an orgasm.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I agree, Miss Little Havana is really enjoyable. I love the title track, Make Me Say Yes, Wepa, Hotel Nacional and Medicine the most.

 

[straightorbroken]

I LOVE Medicine. I'm surprised at the songs Pharrell wrote by himself - they fit her so well.

'Can't Stay Away From You' but I like them all.

I have to admit I've always preferred her ballads to her uptempo stuff.

 

[straightorbroken]

Her Coming Out of The Dark album was pretty shit if I remember correctly, but still gave her a few hits. Now if only the Freemasons would tart up some of her current songs to make them better for the gym and rubbish gay clubs.

Did Little Miss Havana even get released in the UK?

 

[straightorbroken]

It does seem strange that she did no promo in the UK, so I really don't know. I don't think she's even with Sony even more.

Words Get In The Way

 

[funky]

you kinda missed "Words Get In The Way", "Here We Are" and "Coming Out Of The Dark", but nice thread. She really can NAIL a pop ballad.

"Don't Wanna Lose You Now" is one of my favourite pop songs of the 90s. So that.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Miss Little Havana only came out on ITunes here.

Funky, you're quite right but I just went with the three signature ballads that were top 10 here.

I’ve had the Spanish version of ‘Coming out of the dark’ going round my head all day for some unknown reason

Excuse me?

What are these lies and how very dare you!

I wasn’t expecting this to be the thread that this notification was for. I meant she is basically known generally for the uptempos but she also has these quality ballads in her repetoire not just the high voltage Latin stuff.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Anyway, almost 13 years later I declare ‘Can’t Stay Away From You’ the winner.

 

[VV]

Poor 'Here we are'!

Poor 'Here we are'!

It was a UK top 10 poll only but yes it’s up there too.

Wonder why Jo Fuzzbox (DEAD now of course) had such hatred for poor old Glo?

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh I liked a bit of Fuzzbox and I loved The Darling Buds.

Was Jason Donovan seriously meant to answer that question?
