Most of "I'm a Rainbow" sounds tired.

A blast from the mirrored ball past that, however uneven, recalls that Summer was at her best when she was singing "Bad Girls," not trying to act like a good girl.

There are a few songs that might find favor with the VH-1 audience, but excitement is lacking on this album.

With Summer and backing band in fine form, it's difficult to refrain from singing along to kitschy hits like "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls" and especially "On The Radio."

Donna gave credence to the much-maligned disco genre and these versions aided by modern recording technology, really pack a punch.
