Donna Summer/Barbra "No More Tears(Enough Is Enough)"

[pophector]

The awful duet from hell? Meh, all I have to say is "What was Donna thinkin?" >:(

That said, the Jocelyn Brown & Kym Mazelle version isn't as bad though. Strangely their version never charted in the US(though they've charted alot as seperate artists) though made #13 in the UK.

[George Tropicana]

I liked it when Tina Arena was featured on the duet in Donna's VH1 Live and More: Encore!

I can't remember this song for some reason. But by the sounds of it I am not missing much

:)

[ClassicCase]

Just as the subtitle says; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Donna & Babs...man what a odd combo. I couldn't believe that this song EVER became a hit. What WAS Donna thinking?!!

[mst3k]

Never much cared for this song... Eddie Murphy did an amusing parody of it back in 1983 or so (singing in the voices of Buckwheat and Richard Simmons).

[Bob]

and now we have Diana Degarmo's heart-chilling rendition to add to the splendiferous history of this song

i LOVES it

[Hervard]

Yeah, this song starts out as a sappy song, and then gets worse when it suddenly breaks into a disco beat.

LOL, I remember those Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat parodies.  I remember the one where he did "Buckwheat Sings The Classics".  Among them were:

Unce, tyce, fee tines a mady
Wookin' pa nub in ah duh wong paces
A die danna diba dan ona dy eegah venny davee eyeeee
Oona panoona banka
I'm da baba of da bill bigaro bigaro
(Translated, that's "Three Times A Lady", "Looking For Love", "Bette Davis Eyes" (aka "? ? ? ? ?"), "Paloma Blanca".  Don't remember what the last one was - I think it was something that Alfalfa sang in "Little Rascals", something like "Barber of Dabill".

Yeah, it's "Barber Of Seville" (from The Marriage Of Figaro).

LOL... I loved when the "?????" came up on screen as the song title for "Bette Davis Eyes".  :)

[strong4PMB!]

Diana DeGarmo killed this sh**! 110% better than the original! Go Diana.

[Ling-Ling]

This song is likably awful.

[Pet Shop Boy]

I like it! It's pretty fun.

[NARCISSIST ELOQUENT QUEEN™]

I love the 12" mix of this one

[flamethrower]

I also love the extended 12" version of No More Tears...clocks in at over 11 minutes, if I'm not mistaken. I was seven years old when it became a hit.

[cartman2002]

No More Tears was #1 for 2 weeks for Barbara And Donna in 1979 believe it or not.

[areyoureadytojump]

Donna said she passed out while recording this due to that note she has to hold for a long time.

[Stefan85]

It's not bad, but it was legendary for a number of different reasons....

[Juanca]

Wow! I didn't think this was going to have such negative reactions!!
This was a SMASH! One of the few diva/star duets that have ever reached #1.
But I can understand that it all depends on the preferences of the listeners.
This is Barbra Streisand we are talking about, with all her theatrics, drama, Broadway, soap opera style in her singing. One of few occasions she went the Disco route, with another powerhouse vocalist like Donna Summer. To me it is like a telenovela turned into a Disco song. Awesome!! LOL
Another #1 on my personal chart. And I LOVE blasting it driving in my car full speed. I don't have this version on my iPod, but I do have Diana deGarmo's to enjoy it in a small doses

[HolidayGuy]

This isn't one of my favorite Donna tracks, I must say. But it was an undeniable event record.

[EPG]

I was repeating this song and "Heaven Knows" yesterday. <3

[Deleted]

Probably the one Streisand song I can listen to.

[divasummer]

I didn't expect someone to make a thread for the song only to tear it.
I started loving Donna when I was two in 79 so I remember it coming out on her "On The Radio" GH's double album.
It's was on Bab's current album as well at that time.
It was extremely catchy, fast after the regular slow Donna intro.
Looking back I guess it's lyrics are a little cheesy but it doesn't bother me.

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

Can't say it's my most favorite, but I thought they sounded awesome together and the song is pretty relatable. It's all about that girl power! 

[Dreams]

LMAO @ all the negative reactions to this song.


I like it tbh. I like it a lot.
