Performance tip

Keep the first chorus controlled so the final repeat still has somewhere to grow.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

A strong women's karaoke choice for a mixed-age room that responds to familiar oldies. The main demand is sustained control through a demanding chorus; the chorus gives the room a clear place to join.
