She had trouble transitioning from a teen star to an adult star, but she didn’t give up on her music. This Top 10 Tiffany Songs list will feature her best singles.

# 10 – Radio Romance

The first song on our Top 10 Tiffany Songs list is “Radio Romance” from the Hold An Old Friend’s Hand. This song has a pop and bubble gum pop beat. This joyful song is about her having feelings for a guy she hopes she can get together with. This song was appropriate for Tiffany because it has a youthful theme. She was a teenager when this song was released so it was perfect for her to sing.

When this song came out, her big hits were already released so this song wasn’t going to get the attention it deserves. This song was overshadowed by her biggest hit singles. The music has an old-school feel to it. The melody is similar to The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby.” It also has an 80s vibe to it. The title of the song makes it seems as if it is a novelty song, but it is actually a cheerful love song. The music will have you moving around in your seat.

Tiffany’s vocals are very strong on this track. She sings the song with grit in her voice like she is trying to turn it into a rock song. The grit in her voice is reminiscent to Belinda Carlisle. She sings the majority of the song in her soprano voice. She surprisingly holds little notes in the song which are worthy of note. This underrated song is worth listening to.

# 9 – Danny

The next song on our Top 10 Tiffany Songs list is “Danny” from her self-titled album. The song has a pop rock beat. The thought-provoking song is about her being in an abusive relationship. She wants to put an end to the relationship before it is too late. This song has a deep message about abuse. She was a teenager at the time when this song was released. People her age weren’t singing songs about this subject. They were singing about more upbeat things.

They weren’t tackling subjects like this one. This song can be a motivator if you are in an abusive relationship. Girls her age might have been going through abuse and could use a song like this to get through the pain. This is on the album with ”I Think We’re Alone Now” as well as her other big hits, so it was going to be overshadowed by the massive hit singles. This song has a deeper meaning than “I Think We’re Alone Now.” She was considered a bubble gum pop star when this song was released. This track is proof that she was able to sing more than just bubble-gum pop music.

It still has a pop sound, but it has a rock edge to it. There is a minor complaint about the song. The music takes away from the impact of the message. It should have had a stripped sound so the message wouldn’t get lost. You may get lost in the music that you may overlook the message. If you don’t pay attention to the lyrics, you may not realize that it is a song about abuse. Tiffany sings the track beautifully. She sings with a lot of passion and soul. She also belts and holds little notes you may not expect her to hold in the song.

# 8 – It Is The Lover, Not The Love

The anthemic song is from the Hold An Old Friend’s Hand album. The song has a pop beat. The lovelorn song is about what she went through after a breakup. She describes what it feels like to break up with someone. Most people want to give up on love after a devastating breakup, but she wants to find love again. Anyone going through heartbreak can relate to this song.

She wants her listeners to know that love is still a beautiful thing. She doesn’t want you to give up on love because one person hurt you. She would rather you blame the person and not love itself. The lyrics are real and describe heartbreak perfectly. The music is a mix of pop meets soul. This is the perfect music for the theme of the song. It is the type of music that will hit you in your soul. It doesn’t take away from the message of the song. Tiffany sounds different in this song.

She sounds like an angel. She sings it with a lot of soul. She doesn’t use the grit in this song as she used in the previous entry on our list. She sings in time with all of the beat changes in the song. She shows impressive power in this track. She may not have been going through heartbreak at the time, but she sells the song. She holds a note in the bridge that will blow you away. She gives it a dramatic buildup before she lets loose. She hits high notes without her voice breaking.

# 7 – Feelings of Forever

The emotional song is from her self-titled album. The song has a pop rock beat. The touching song is about how she feels about a man that she is dating. She doesn’t want the relationship to end. This is in Tiffany’s wheelhouse because she is singing about being in love. If you have ever been in love and didn’t want the relationship to end, the lyrics will resonate with you.

The music is a little misleading. You would think that it was a song about a breakup and not a loving relationship. The music also has David Foster vibes. He writes pop rock songs where the guitar and keys drive the beat. When the keys take over the song, it sounds like Jennifer Holliday’s “I Am Love.” When the guitar takes over, it sounds like something the rock group Chicago would have done. This is another song that appears on the album with “I Think We’re Alone Now” and her other big hits so it gets overshadowed.

Tiffany’s voice is powerful. She has the grit in her voice in this song. She sings this song with her heart and soul. She belts throughout the track, but she doesn’t hold any notes. She did miss an opportunity to hit a power note in the bridge, but it didn’t hurt the song. The song may be hard to find as a single, but it is definitely worth the search.

# 6 – I Saw Him Standing There

The mesmerizing song is from her self-titled album. The song has a synth pop beat. The romantic song is about her admiring and loving someone. This is a cover of The Beatles song so it’s time for the questions. Did she take the risk of remaking this song? Did she make the song her own? The answer to the first question is maybe. This isn’t their biggest hit single, but it was a hit for the group.

The answer to the second question is yes. She changed the title of the song from ‘I Saw Her Standing There” to “I Saw Him Standing There.” The Beatles’ version is a rock song, and her version is a synth-pop version. The tempo is faster in her version than The Beatles’ version. She has a knack for covering older songs and turning them into hits. The song was appropriate for Tiffany because she was a teenager when she recorded the song.

She refers to the guy in the song being 17 so the lyrics were appropriate for her age. Tiffany’s vocals are strong in this track. She sings this with grit in her voice. She is able to keep up with the loud music. She yells in the song and doesn’t sound pitchy. She ran the risk of being pitchy because of the loud music, but she pulled it off effortlessly. She managed to turn this song into a big hit.

People tend to say things about your significant other, but you have to turn a blind eye to it. Sometimes we have to deal with people who don’t approve of our relationships. Tiffany is letting us know that it is okay to ignore the naysayers and focus on your love. The lyrics are thoughtful and make you appreciate your relationship.

When this song was released, her popularity waned, but she proved she could still record excellent music. The music starts off with the acoustic guitar before the electric guitar takes over. There is a guitar solo in the bridge that shouldn’t be overlooked. It is one of the best guitar solos on any of Tiffany’s albums.

Tiffany showed that she is an amazing singer in this song. It is an excellent interpretation of the lyrics. She sings this song as if she wrote it herself. Tiffany turns the song into a power ballad.
