I remember her from when I was young.Her cousin used to live next door to my mam and dad in Wern Cres in Caewathan.Your songs will live on through generations to come.Lynn Hutchings, Caernarfon
I saw her back in 1969 she was singing in a working mans club in Glynneath.Her voice still gives me goose pimples.Thank you for what you have given us all.Haydn from Llangain
Bonnie is a true great.The husky singing voice is so distinctive.Total Eclipse Of The Heart is still played frequently in the gay clubs of Swansea.It still gets me up and dancing each time it comes on!She owns a unique voice, she colours the world with her songs and epic videos.Sharon, South Wales
Hi Bonnie, I saw you at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cardiff recently.You really involved the audience in all your songs and displayed such a brilliant sense of humour.Przemek from Poland
Hello, I'm a fan of Bonnie.She is fantastic person.Bonnie in Sopot one time.Bonnie, GOD BLESS YOU!!!Her voice has more emotion in it than almost any other singer, and she is the defintion of a classy female rock singer.Unlike all the crap out there today, (read Brittany, Shakira, etc), Bonnie made it on her voice and her innate ability to interpret the music.Ok Bonnie, now come set Nashville ablaze with that voice!Katharine, Croatia
I was 16 when I heared you singing for the first time.Please, never stop singing, never.Do you know if Ron or Beattie Williams is still around?Norwich)
I have listened to you throughout my childhood and still do now in my early 30's.Your powerfull songs and unique voice make you one of the most distinct artists ever.Cook from Bath
Bonnie, you are our national treasure.Mumbles Swansea having a curry!Perhaps that is the secret of the gravel voice?Keep rocking you wonderful minx.Helens
In my opinion, Bonnie is a brilliant artiste with a fantastic, easily recognisable voice.And ultimately, that is what matters most, you can recognise a singer simply by hearing them sing).She has made some memorable singles and her work with Meatloaf was outstanding.She also has the right type of vocal style to sing rock ballads, which incidentally, I am listening to at the moment.Long live Bonnie Tyler, Queen of Rock !!!.She is now my idol and I now run a stage school and make sure I always include a Bonnie Tyler number in shows.Minisite home
