FOREVER DONNA - A TRIBUTE TO DONNA SUMMER

In my years of being a real FAN-atic with Donna I never thought she would be so close. Mardi Gras / Universal in Orlando was a real dream. I took my spouse of 20 years to see the show of a lifetime. It was a little past 9:30p.m. after all the beads were caught and the Mardi Gras entertainers began working the crowd into shouting "Donna, Donna, Donna!" as loud as we could, so she could listen to her demanding servants chanting her name. All of a sudden, a roar of thunder, lightening struck the stage! There she was in a burgundy evening gown with little circular design, and it all began. "MacArthur Park" was springing in the air. Donna's voice was so pristine as she began with her big colgate smile, long wavey brunette hair, hips swinging side to side.

		There were 2 large screens opposite to the stage. You could not miss any action. Once done with the "MacArthur Park Suite", it was "I Feel Love" and "This Time I Know It's For Real". It was for real! She was right in front just a few yard's away. She continued on to sing "Could It Be Magic". Beautiful sireness touch. Never done live before. After those songs were belted, La Donna was getting personal about her boyfriend experience and the "Red Ferrari". Here a letter is written and talked about "On The Radio". During the prelude, dancers show up and Donna is strutting her thing to the latino beat. Salsa baby! The crowd laughed as she talked about her Versace jacket and the $20,000 dollars she found inside a pocket which was splurged on everything Donna style. Then it was about how she met her man and the final experiences after taking the Ferrari for a long ride. Leave that up to your discretion.

That turned into the "My Man Medley". She and Mary sang an outstanding rendition of "No More Tears (Enough is Enough). Next thing, Donna walked off to the change tent and there was a little break for Bruce to introduce the band and their musical abilities. Donna returns on stage in a black gown to sing "Hot Stuff", "She Works Hard For The Money" with 5 male dancers. I thought that was a working woman's song. Oh well, they made her look good on stage. Donna then continued to sing her latest songs from the Journey CD and finalized the night with "Last Dance". It was a dream that turned into reality. In the morning I woke up to notice it was all over. Oh No! Not another wait. Hopefully, she won't retire leaving us stranded in time. She should depart stylish like Cher or Tina did. :>) Eduard
