However, the point that obviously wronged the final result was the great contradiction that existed between its old disco-pop aesthetics and the character of the space that hosted it. The singer referred to the important purpose for which the concert was organised and his fanatical fans shouted the now classic “Saki….”įilmed just now at Rocks The Parthenon in Athens 🇬🇷 performing If You Were A Woman (And I Was A Man) #ReuniteParthenon /KLpPRJkAeF The appearance of Sakis Rouvas, in formal clothes this time, did not hide surprises as he sang two tracks from the older album of “Ola Kala”, which was produced by Desmond Child in collaboration with Phoebus who had taken over the artistic direction of yesterday’s event. The legendary Bonnie Tyler, although tired of vocals over time, made a decent rock appearance while Rita Wilson proved that in addition to acting, she also has vocal skills. The songwriter also referred to the Parthenon, making his wishes for the return of the sculptures.Īs for the musical part of the night, the immovable Alice Cooper emerged as a big performer at the end of the concert, singing two songs in a very theatrical way, stirring up the crowd and receiving, rightfully, the loudest applause. It’s wonderful to be here,” he told the crowd, confessing what an amazing experience he was having.
#Who sang i hate myself for loving you on the voice full
The host of the evening, Desmond Child, sitting at the piano accompanied all the singers, could not hide his excitement for the unique, full of history scene that stretched in front of him, with the illuminated Parthenon shining under the starry Attica sky. #ηρωδειο #DesmondChildRocksTheParthenon #desmondchild /hTsgbcXrGU
Some of them, such as “Livin ‘On A Prayer”, “You Give Love A Bad Name”, “Bad Medicine”, “Born To Be My Baby”, “I Was Made For Lovin ‘You”,” I Hate Myself for Loving You”, “Poison,” and “Bed of Nails”,” Vida Loca”, were heard yesterday. It is remembered that Desmond Child has written many good songs and in different styles that have been performed from Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper to Cher, Ricky Martin, Katy Perry and Sakis Rouvas. I’d probably end up singing the football version onstage by accident.Thousands of people filled the near 2,000 year-old Odeon of Herodes Atticus theatre in Athens last night to see Desmond Child, Alice Cooper, Rita Wilson and many others to voice their support for the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece from the British Museum in London. “I’m just glad I don’t have to sing the new versions. “I’m not Kanye West and I’m not on the radio all the time, so it helps keep my band paid,” she says. So that’s $272,000 as a base figure, which will be split 50/50 with Desmond Child.” When added to performance royalties, international screenings of ‘SNF,’ as well as sales of the original track prompted by fans hearing it, Gretton estimates it would have netted at least a cool half-million for Jett alone.īizarrely, the writers of “I Hate Myself for Loving You” initially didn’t want to hand over their baby to NBC, but Jett has come to terms with it. “But even so, it’s a well-viewed show, so I think she probably got a couple of grand a week, times that by a 17-week season over eight years.
“ 2006 was a bit of a lean period for Joan, so NBC probably low-balled her,” she speculates. Veronica Gretton, founder of New York based music publishing company 401K Music Inc., estimates that although Jett won’t be hurting financially, she probably hasn’t earned quite enough to move next door to Mark Zuckerberg just yet. The track got a new lease on life in 2006 when NBC picked it up to be the theme tune of their primetime football show and renamed it “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” Over the past eight years, new versions with altered lyrics have been sung by Pink, Faith Hill and Carrie Underwood, but Jett and co-writer Child have enjoyed the spoils.
Released in 1988 and co-written with songwriter Desmond Child (who also co-wrote some of Bon Jovi’s biggest singles), it originally hit the Top 10 on the Billboard chart. The rock ’n’ roll queen isn’t someone who allows herself to splurge on $75,000 electric cars or other flashy accessories very often, but it’s one of the things that “I Hate Myself for Loving You” - the theme to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” - has bought her. “When I bought it a few months back, it was the only one in Nassau County,” Jett, now 55 and still touring hard with her band the Blackhearts, tells The Post. She’ll be the one riding around in a brand-new Cadillac ELR.
The next time you happen to be on Long Island, look out for Joan Jett.
