"I am 30 years old and well remember the Tiffany from the 80s. I wasn't a fan then, but due to her new album (The Color of Silence), I definitely am now. This single "I'm Not Sleeping" is good, but there are many other, better songs on the CD including my favorite "Open My Eyes" and "If Only." I have read the reviews from the professional music critics about the CD and they are right on. Her music is fresh, meaningful and beautiful. I give her a lot of credit for taking a second shot after being out of the music scene for so long. I hope her music gets all of the attention it deserves this time. Tiffany has matured as an artist and her music very well reflects that. Anyone who writes off this CD thinking it's the "old Tiffany" is missing a wonderful work of art. You won't be disappointed. Hopefully Tiffany is here to stay this time!"
Tiffany is back and better than ever!

"Many of you will remember Tiffany, the pop star who was at the top of the charts in the mid- and late-1980s. After taking a decade off, Tiffany has returned to recording and is better than ever. She's clearly grown up, and her voice and singing style reflects it. With a harder edge and now writing most of her own lyrics, Tiffany's sultry voice sounds better than ever. "I'm Not Sleeping" is the first of what should be many hits from her new CD, "The Color of Silence." Chances are if you are a fan of Paula Cole or Alanis Morrisette, you'll love the new Tiffany. Try it, you'll definitely like it!"
Not the best return

"I've been a hardcore Tiffany fan ever since 1987, and was eagerly looking forward to this new single and her album 'The Color of Silence'. After months of delay and back-and-forth, this single was released to radio stations and the public in October 2000 on Eureka Records. The single has two tracks - the album version and the radio edit. It comes in a Diskpack cover, with the lyrics inside. The CD itself is a cheery red, with an interesting font.Considering that her last noteworthy album release came in 1993 ('Dreams never die', released only in Asia), and now that shes 28 years old, its not difficult to understand why the music sounds the way it does. Its not at all like her earlier stuff, and much to her credit, its perhaps the best she has ever sounded.This single, featuring Krazie Bone, is hardly something thats going to burn up the charts (blame Eureka Records for the shoddiest effort at distribution seen this decade - they could singlehandedly be responsible for this song's early demise at sales), but its fiery and strong - something that Tiffany has not demonstrated in her long career. It also boasts some decent songwriting, and a laudable vocal delivery.However, the appearance of Krazie Bone is a little grating. He appears at the end of Track 1 on this 2-track CD single, and while it doesn't sound really out-of-place, it DOES strike one as somewhat silly and unnecessary. Also, he doesn't have the best sense of rhythm, and the lines hes been given are somewhat amusing ('nightmares (pause)... in the night', etc.).This could well sink without a trace as has most of Tiff's releases since 1988, but lets hope that listeners find this at least halfway catchy. Its sure better than anything thats currently on the airwaves, thats for sure!Highly recommended!"
Hey......So thats what happened to Tiffany

"Hmmm....first of all this is not the old "I Think We're Alone Now" Tiffany......its seems shes aged and instead of singing the bubblegum pop that made her popular in the 80s shes pulled off her own Alanis Morrisette transformation from cheesy dance pop to angry rock chick. The good thing is she pulls it off...and well. The only reason im not giving this 5 stars is that i know some people do not like rap and this single features Krayzie Bone....i like it but if u hate rap you probably wont like the song as much. All in all this single seems to be a good preview to what Tiffanys doing now in the 21st century....on her new CD"
Remember, this is the CD Single

"I have seen many reviews up on this page mistaking this title for Tiffany's new album 'The Color of Silence.' This is just the single version of the first single from the album.The single CD has two versions of the song : one with a rap section, and one without. Apparently, Tiffany's management decided on this so that radio DJs could pick which version to air. Unfortunately, no DJ in America really picked up this song for serious airplay, except for certain parts of California and Tampa, which is why it never made the Top 200 Singles Charts, and died an early death. Pity, because this is much better music than all the trash out there at the moment.I got this CD the week it came out, in 2000. Pick it up as numbers are limited, and also try to get your hands on the entire album, which is a gem not to be missed.Thanks for reading!"
