Favorite Diane Warren Song

Nothing At All by Heart.

She certainly has rewritten the same song over and over again...

Love Will Lead You Back

My Heart Will Go On is not by Diane Warren.

Where The Road May Take You Back To Where You've Never Been Before is my favorite. I think Buffy St. Marie covered it.

World Without You Belinda Carlisle

"If You Asked Me To" by Celine Dion or Patti Labelle. Really beautiful song.

If I could turn back time. Jeez.

She written so many including a catchy tune/tunes by Chicago but I've forgotten the titles.

Didn't she write "I'll Be Your Shelter"?" That one. One of her least schlocky and maudlin tunes and quite underrated / overlooked. I can't think of anyone else apart from Taylor Dayne who could have tackled it so perfectly, except maybe Patti LaBelle. The production on it is also perfect.

If this was NOT a Diane Warren song, my sincere apologies to the person who wrote this. I bought the cassette single, lip-synced in the mirror to it many times, and lusted over the shirtless men in the video for months.

Well she wrote it for Tina Turner. Tina could have outdone Taylor.

Diane Warren didn’t write Nothing At All by Heart

I thought that she wrote The Flame by Cheap Trick but nope

I voted for How Do I Live but only because I like star LeAnn Rimes vocals

I'd not realized how many of Diane Warren's songs I have heard and really enjoy. There are so many to mention:

Everything Changes - Kathy Troccoli I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me - Expose I'll Be -Reba

R6: Patti's version is lovely but I adore Celine's version.

R9: What about Kathy Troccoli (who actually sang on the track with Taylor Dayne)?

Un-Break My Heart

Blame It On the Rain

Rhythm of the Night

And more!

[quote] [R6]: Patti's version is lovely but I adore Celine's version.

Both are great. Patti's was first and Celine uses the same vocal arrangement -- mimicking everything about Patti's vocal delivery.

I Learned from the Best - Whitney Houston. This song sounds majestic.

Maybe it's the horn arrangement. Or maybe it's because Whitney brought her fierce Cleopatra Jones/Christie Love game to the video.

Another vote for "If I Could Turn Back Time."

Oh my.

"My Heart Will Go On," also called "My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from Titanic)", is the main theme song to James Cameron's blockbuster film Titanic. Its music was composed by James Horner, its lyrics were written by Will Jennings, and it was produced by Walter Afanasieff and Simon Franglen, recorded by Celine Dion, and released in 1997.

I don't like any of the songs on OPs list. I guess I'm not a Diane Warren fan. Are these her best-known songs?

drek-ola

You Were Loved.

The link at R13 lists her most popular songs

Rhythm of the Night and Don't Turn Around are the only songs I can stand from that list of hits.

I had the time of my life

Who Will You Run To isn’t awful but I have a soft spot for mid-80s rawk.

By looking at the list of artists, you get a glimpse into how the industry worked. Apparently, the label had a lot of faith in Ace of Bass and were willing to promote them hard if they were willing to buy a Diane song for them. I had always assumed that their breakthrough success was a fluke. Interesting.

At heart, you are all fraus.

[quote] Well she wrote it for Tina Turner. Tina could have outdone Taylor.

For some reason, I read this as "Well she write it for Lana Turner" and I was really confused for a second.

She's the hippest and most fabulous middle-aged virgin of all time! Well, except for some Catholic saints.

They all suck pretty fucking bad.

Solitaire by Laura Brannigan.

What do I win?

Christ, she's got a face for radio airplay.

The ice is melting The walls are breaking down I'm ready to love again I won't be taken for a clown

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

She wrote Sisters of the moon for Stevie Nicks. Love it in concert!

McCain, "I Could Not Ask For More".

Bitch is a song writing machine!

Starship’s Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now

Boy, that dame sure has written a lot of crap.

Hasn’t Babyface had way more pop songwriting success over the past few decades? He was a popular performer, too. I wonder why he isn’t celebrated for all of those hits and influence like this woman is celebrated for forgettable garbage like I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.

Is no one going to comment on her hairstyle??

"Only Love Can Hurt Like This" is a great recent one.

"when i see you smile" by bad english

I always liked this one that she wrote with Roy Orbison

Celebrity Net worth says she’s worth $60 milllion. Doesn’t that sound light?

^^^^ Yes. She's got a big building in the heart of Hollywood with her publishing brand on it. I would think her net worth is north of $100 million.

Does she sing? interesting how she can be so successful in writing melody if she can't

R33 tells lies, sweet little lies. Diane Warren did no such thing. Stevie wrote all of her own songs, with only a rare occurrence of a collaborator.

She should partner with David Foster to write more trite tunes.

R47, only if they're produced by Walter Afanasieff. That is the perfect storm for early 90s balladry.

Arista/Clive Davis, Ace of Base's American label wanted them to record Don't Turn Around, which wasn't on the original version of their debut album that was released in Europe. However, Don't Turn Around did not originate with Ace of Base. It was originally recorded by Tina Turner as a B-side and later by Bonnie Tyler, in a dramatic version that I really like. It was also a #1 hit by Aswad in the UK in a reggae version before being recorded by Ace of Base. Others have recorded the song, too.

It's interesting listening to the four different versions on YouTube. They are really different from each other, which shows the song has a strong foundation.

I always thought she wrote nothing but crap. I see I was wrong; “Solitaire” and “Rhythm of the Night” are good.

The rest of it sucks hard. She’s inflicted a lot of bad music upon the world.

Another for If I Could Turn Back Time.

R33: Stevie Nicks wrote Sisters Of The Moon. She's talked about this song with Jim Ladd on the radio and also during an ABC's 20-20 news report. It was written about her first tour with Fleetwood Mac.

I vote "I don't want to miss a thing." She has written better songs, but this one seems to be the most exemplary of her style. All of her other songs seem to be variations of this song.

This song got plentt of play, but I don't think it was well-recognized.

RIP James Horner. He was a true musical genius.

I thought Dianne was great with the bombastic ballads. Her other genre efforts were hit or miss. Her R&B songs mostly went unreleased for a reason.

Dianne also wrote Landslide and Dreams for Stevie.

She wrote Lose Yourself for Eminem and Anaconda for Nikki Minaj. Those were pretty big hits.

Deeper Than A River - Olivia Newton-John

I've always liked Potato Actress Elaine Paige's take on Heart Don't Change My Mind

Potato Actress Elaine Paige's version of Heart Don't Change My Mind is better than Barbara Streisland's version of Heart Don't Change My Mind which is more overblown than a case of full blown AIDS.

The Supreme Diane Ross's version of Heart Don't Change My Mind is quite breathy stilted compared to Barbara Streisland and Potato Actress Elaine Paige

Glen Madeira's version of Heart Don't Change My Mind gives a unique cis-male take on Heart Don't Change My Mind but it still isn't as good as Potato Actress Elaine Paige.

Warren Wiebe gives a differently unique cis-male take on Heart Don't Change My Mind which is possibly as pleasant as Potato Actress Elaine Paige.

her music is too schmaltzy for me..none of the above

Despacito is kinda catchy. I also like her songs that Beyoncé recorded for Lemonade.

But Pop You In the Pooper is probably her best. I wonder why it wasn’t a big hit.
