Annie Lennox - Sing (Official Video)

[astrolabe1976]

World AIDS Day 2011

[Noilamall]

In high school the winterguard did a show to this song

[bikermonkey74]

I am absolutely astounded as some of these comments!! the stupidity of them after all these years is mind blowing!! I hate to break it to some of you morons but GOD is not helping me with my HIV! ME and my dr.'s are. Before I even became positive I got an education about the disease. Its part of our generation and part of EVERY ONES lives whether you realize it or not I can guarantee that everyone knows someone with HIV.. Thank you Annie Lennox for helping others in your own way!! U R A SAINT!

[RoseEzellTV]

Annie Lennox is an icon in history.

[christinasteener]

thumbs up if you thought that transvestites sang this before you knew it was annie lennox :/

[grtpundies]

@christinasteener that is rude. baddie

[christinasteener]

@grtpundies How is that rude? I'm a member of the gay community, and so is my brother, and many of my friends. It is what it is, we don't take offense to those words because they aren't an insult, they are just words describing a bunch of people. This song, and Annie Lennox in general, is a gay icon. Don't be so self righteous for the hell of it, makes you sound stupid.

[allpowrz1]

@christinasteener Well, with a total of zero thumbs up. That obviously shows that everyone else knows that Annie Lennox is contralto

[christinasteener]

@allpowrz1 well sorrrry! Didn't mean to offend, jesus christ. This song plays at my job and everyone thought it was a song that was sung by Transvestites. Guess you guys don't have the same sense of humor. Remove the sticks up your butts ASAP. Thanks!

[Scotties61]

Brilliant video .. this is a desease too, no stigma should be attatched to it!! .. Keep up the great work Annie!!!

[JOLENE2008]

i love this! :)

[skipjennings1]

I love this song and I love the work that Annie is doing

[Diiva18]

It is a shame you can't hear Celine!! She would have nailed it ♥♥

[charleswcastro1]

We,from, Brazil need you, annie, to make people aware about HIV-AIDS. Annie Lennox , you are adorable for this iniciative of giving voice to South american women, we love you.

[charleswcastro1]

We,from, Brazil need you, annie, tomake people aware about HIV-AIDS.

[radioelargentino]

I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!

[greylinro]

gillian45631 is going to give stupid people a bad name :-(

[electrojon9]

i hear madonna

[esteban5638]

@electrojon9 can not agree more. but it's annie

[jeuleud]

Fully agree, Madonna's part is AWESOME... An eyewink at those who claim Madonna can't sing nor perform anything. Not only isn't she ridiculous by far but she's the song's next best thing

[HUMANOIDECIBERNETICO]

I LOVE YOU ANNIE LENNOX

[michaimeskinsek]

Annie Lennox is an angel of Beauty and Compassion.

[SirBounder]

Nelson Mandela was a criminal

[8182570]

@SirBounder if standing up for justice against the apartheid and eventually becoming the first south african president is criminal then sign me up for jail.

[Nicciolai]

@SirBounder No, he was a political prisoner. There's a big difference.

[Tarrant1976]

Is that Madonna at 1:41?

[ladonnarama]

madonna sounds gorgeous in this!

[Madeiras14]

This should be the most watched video in the internet...

[AllMadonnaMusic]

the great part begins at 1:40 (madonna!!!)

[DAVEJJR]

Madonna's part is great!!!!

[LaurentiusRex]

Aids is neither an African nor a gay problem... It's everywhere.

[gillian45631]

@LaurentiusRex The reason that alot of aids programs and videos are based in Africa is beacuse thats were the majority of the world is infected with it. South Africas water is completely contaminated so they have no choice but to drink it if they wanna stay alive even if they are at great risk of getting aids. And aids is not only transmitted by sex but also by water.

[LaurentiusRex]

@gillian45631

That's one of the most stupid things I read the last days... HIV cannot be transmitted by water, air or anything. The virus is very weak. Outside a human body it dies quickly.

[Ndakanatswa]

@gillian45631 Good Lord! You are painfully ignorant! I am South African and not even one word of what you had written here is true! Please don't post such misleading and dangerous information like this on YouTube, you will be very responsible for a lot of stigma attached to people with HIV. It is cruel, unecessary and very unfair!

[Makinwaves02]

@Ndakanatswa I agree. What a dipshit!

[WhiteRabbitTricks]

@gillian45631 Holy crap, I hope you are joking.

[fredaigno678]

@gillian45631 Really?!!... South Africa's water is COMPLETELY contaminated by AIDS??? where do people get these things from?!

[jeremyely]

22 people accidentally hit thumbs down

[SEMCLVPD]

LENNOX AND CICCONE!!!!! GREAT!!!!!

[ecclescake32]

Ive just give to the SING CAMPAIN . LOVE ANNIE LEENO X X X X

[Teddybear101ify1]

I wish that could be more people like Annie in the world

[prostiedvizhenija]

Annie Lennox I love you so much. Your music always lift me up. I hope to meet you one day it would be the greatest dream to ever come true for me.

[gatocatchat]

Annie you are a wonderful woman!!! J.C (from chile)

[fafatimassis]

we must do something about that...we can,nt just see that and not fell that we are just one ,can you see the love ,the really love in the sould of this personnes? I hoppe so...

[IMPei100]

those beautiful little kids just break my heart that because of the place of their birth they are afforded less than other human beings. when will humanity learn that what so ever you do to the least of my brothers....

[juanomar89]

where is shakira on this song ? i didnt hear her voice !!!

[fabiantubet]

for a moment I thought, I heard Madonna

[yucdon24]

@fabiantubet you thought right! she has a part

[BUweB]

@fabiantubet

yes Madonna is included and starts around 1:42"

[dontdarewatch]

wish Anastacia would sing a little more!!! she really rocks!

[FreakyKaren]

@dontdarewatch yeah! know xD her voice would have been great in this, dontdarewatch :)

[Schlimmerfinger87]

she's a hiv fan!

[baltaavyte]

love this song

[laggonsoy420]

if everyone would help..just a little i know together we cold make a huge impact on the world!it makes me excited to think abot this,but EXTREMLY upset that others disagree...

[shecklesdiva]

Thank you for sharing this video. I pray that more people see it and can help the people suffering from this disease. Iwill share this video with my friends.

[elrynx2]

I think Celine Dion starts at 3:26 through 3:33

[Frampa]

Sorry but fight cancer, breast cancer, HIV etc, this fight will never win through human beings.

ONLY God can cure it. GOD is the CURE not an artist nor KOMEN CURE.

GOD IS THE CURE

[maydagirl]

@Frampa its not really fight cancer u know, its help find a way to fight it.

[Alosjs]

Ok, religiouys freak, God doesn't cure shit!

If someone doesn't take medicine or medical treatment to fight the disease that person surely dies.

God doesn't come down with his magical powers, cures the person, drinks coffee with him or her & leaves.

So, be realistic, & stop being so stupid & stop acting like a kid that has an imaginary friend.

All these artists are there fighting so all the people suffering from all these horrible diseases can live & you come here saying that shit!

UGH!

[bhhandel]

@Alosjs

well you obviously don't believe in God, so you couldn't possibly understand..

if you believe that God created earth, then believeing that he can heal the sick isn't that difficult.

[sheppyweppy]

yes but god isnt real. you are sadly delusional. read the medical definition of "delusion" and then you can probably tell me what bit the christians added in.

We dont care about your invisible friend, think whatever you want. but when you try and influence others based on something that isnt real then it makes me sick. dont ever feel the need to comment on a medical problem again with solutions involving something that doesnt exist.

[bhhandel]

@sheppyweppy

and you have conckusive proof that god doesn't exist?

if so, i'd like to see it.

[Xarlot3]

@bhhandel That was pretty stupid. All you did is admit that God cannot be disproven, but that in itself is not proof of an existance. There is a very wide bridge between '100% true' and '100% false', and in the meantime, while you can't be certain that God will cure people, surely medicine and, let's face it, REALISTIC help is much, much better.

[AQUARIANA2007]

esa cancion tambien la coescribio p!nk ????

[ScarletAnne1993]

i want a hoola hoop

[13Andrianna]

beautiful

[beatricevoleste]

Annie Lennox it's a GREAT ARTIST!

[Thefireinbabylon]

God, I love her music!!

[Steffaass]

This is an important video..I wished I had seen it before.

And youre right..not enough people has seen this

<3

[laggonsoy420]

everyone would help..just a little i know together we cold make a huge impact on the world!it makes me excited to think abot this,but EXTREMLY upset that others disagree...

[salizarrr]

Wish Madonna woulda been in her scene

[Shintolive]

I have never heard this song before.I love it.

[yoroloco]

Not enough people have watched this video. It's sad to see how many views pointless videos have on here and then ones with messages as strong as this has hardly a fraction of those.

[Spinni]

@yoroloco

The same thing goes through my head as I looked at the numbers.

[yoroloco]

Then maybe you should listen to a completely pointless song, like something of Lady Gagas =3

[deamondeathstone1]

I did say that i wanted to be entertained, not tortured. Just that if i watch something with Annie Lennox it will probably be older, say Eurithmics era.

[prostiedvizhenija]

@yoroloco lol why are so many people dissing lady gaga? Her music is crap but she's highly talented.

[N3f4r1u5]

@yoroloco Don't do that. Don't go bitching on one of the few modern artists trying to use her fame and music to do more than be popular and make money. I agree that there should be more songs like this one, but I also like Lady Gaga and I believe she is truly trying to make a difference as well, and trying to better the world, in her way. You should check her performance of Imagine.

[dahlin82]

@deamondeathstone1 The purpose of this song is not to preach at you (or anyone else). Rather, it's intent is to help raise awareness of HIV/AIDS, to breakdown the stigmatizations that accompany HIV/AIDS, and to show that those who suffer from this ravaging disease are human just as you, me, and the next person .

[Anastecio]

I wish i heard more of Anastacia!! She's the best!

[BLAZAR777]

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!

[BLAZAR777]

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!

[BLAZAR777]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE LENNOX !!!

[barbwirerope]

one of my favorite people on the planet. i have loved her most of my life. she's amazing;)

[Desdelaperiferia]

I can hear Madonna, Shakira and Joss Stone if I'm not wrong

[BobiRules]

@Desdelaperiferia

Not only them, you can hear Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Céline Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angélique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright too. ^_^

[Desdelaperiferia]

are you kidding? to many women..... guau

i can't hear all the rest of the voices....thanks for the info.....

[BobiRules]

Well after reading your comment I was interested who was involved in this project. And I found that on Wikipedia.

[Desdelaperiferia]

that's what i call sense of investigation or gossiping..... that for me it's the same... lol... thanks again for the info....

[YagChem]

Hi, in fact, the other voice is Madonna...without doubts. I have read it in an interview to her and appear in the lyrics of the album "Songs for Mass Destruction" of Mrs. Lennox.

[dianatrivi]

what an inspiration thanks for this!

[cheekychick122]

Annie is such an inspiration!

[ERNIEausBERLIN]

thats NOT RIGHT... its MADONNA :)))

[pedroroldi]

That's right!! The duo is terrific!

Btw, both singers are engaged with causes in Africa.

God saves the Queen Madonna!

[dolphinguy32]

brings tears to my eyes cuz being positive in africa is almost alwayz a death sentence

[lucalukita16]

:'(

[TIMY564]

in this song collaborated:

*Pink

*Madonna

*KT Tunstall

*Joss Stone

*and Shakira

[ERNIEausBERLIN]

@TIMY564

in this song collaborated 25 celebreties!

[wishingclouds]

So powerful. =)

[barrytrussell09]

This is a great song,lift these woman up.Sing girls,sing!

[XXXJinisMusicXXX]

sing my sister, good song!!!

[anotheramely]

Is it Joss Stone singing too?I mean, I think she is doing one of the backup voices

[singer940]

yea it is 2:50 - 2:56 "come sister now sing yea sing loud sing proud" .-.

[vegishishkabab]

who is doing the other/backup voices? I heard someone that sounds like Madonna for a moment and than someone else...

[8182570]

these are the 23 women that are associated with this song about HIV awareness: Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Céline Dion, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angélique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright.

[TriceChanelle]

YEAH DAT SOUND LIKE MADONNA

[jamesS0289]

Despite how scathing people's comments are, I still think she's wonderful.

Obviously it's the people who have money who have the most ability to bring attention to something as big as the HIV/AIDS pandemic, so if Annie is willing to do that, good on her.

By the way, if anyone knows what language the final part of the song is in, and/or what the lyrics are in the language, please let me know. :)

[meshonii]

one of the best female voices ever...

[aroradreem]

An inspiring woman and powerful role model

[mzchannel]

I love this alternate version of the song, it's even better than the album version.

[MARCELLOmadonna4ever]

1:50 <3 <3

[pseudonym1964]

dasgregorian: Move along garbage, you are starting to smell.

[Ronaldmcgenius45]

[latinogott]

I Love Annie Lennox Ever since " Sweet Dreams" To the Present Huge Fan!

Love you Annie! huggs and kisses from Chicago!

[SEREEZY]

2 BIG THUMBS WAY UP!!!  Thank you for spreading awareness!

[tenntanguy]

great vid and msg

[JinisNewStyle]

super song mit ner gute message

[sokdudu]

Madonna has a beautiful voice...

[grahamka86]

idea of sisterHOOD against HIV.

[XAVIERKAKY]

Annie Lennox, you are the real angel on The Earth!

[aethas8]

i do like this idea, but i agree it help should go to men too. if a program was tehre that was helping men but not women, there would be so much outrage... why not the other way around? the song is good. i think help should be for everyone.

[nuttychomp]

The whole point is being missed,this is not abut being a man or woman it is about the prevention of hiv/aids being passed to a child from its infected mother,male and female children and that itself helps the entire population,also about providing medication and care to ALL of those affected which if you look into the campaign properly you will see.

[elyzajane]

I'm not sure it's about excluding men as much as it's about focusing on women and children in a culture where they're traditionally considered subordinate. Moreover, though it goes without saying, I'll state the obvious: helping boys means helping future men.

[dasgregorian]

More money needs to be spent finding a cure for women with HIV.

... because men having HIV is fine... but if women have it, then it deserves attention.

[Shenorai]

Men don't bear children that could carry the virus. Thus why the attention is given to women and their kids.

[ericeast82]

You know I am crying now after watching this video.

It's unbelievable touching

Annie Lennox, you are the real angel on The Earth!

[SEXandtheSHITTY]

annie lennox...we love you...you work your bloody socks off to help others...i get shivers just from you being a genuine nice loving angel of a woman...very kind woman.

[rygysmom]

Annie , I have NEVER seen anyone like you!!!

You are an amazing soul!!! I think you have a MILLION blessed voices from Heaven inside speaking to you and singing and writing through you!!!!!! You mesmerize me! It's not only the music. it's your beautiful soul!! Thanks for doing what some of us would love to you and will never have the chance. Love you so much, Teresa

[fofml]

Annie, Madonna, so wonderful!!!

[Herzelinde]

2.56 I can hear Joss Stone:)

By the way great song and great message!

[CajunGypsy]

Two decades ago, Annie sent a message with Aretha Franklin's help in "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves." This video shows that she—and they—still are. Brava, Annie and all the rest who participated...and let's get this disease ended already!

[simstud1982]

Annie sings this with 23 other female artists. The ones i can really hear are Madonna ,Anastacia and Beverley Knight

[Gav329217]

Pink

[flaviokrawczuk]

and Madonna?

[SOULEDGE449444944494]

whos singing? is that madonna with annie lennox?

[dontblink01]

1:41 - 2:12

[blondieguy93]

Annie apparently campaigned madonna relentlessly to get her to participate on this song, as former adversaries they're both commendable to come together for a vital aid cause..

[LittleIronDove]

does anyone here know the translation for the African lyrics at the end of the song?  I can't find them anywhere....? thx

[sparks12935]

best damn feminist song ever!!!

The damn song is so beautiful and she is so beautiful for singing it!!!

[sunraindance]

it's so great that she's doing this. Go annie!

[middlekick1]

Grazie..davvero!!

[AnastaciaBoy]

i love the "C´mon" part of Anastacia!

[Selyemmolylepke]

wonderful activity for the women and against the aids

[petercher]

Madonna really spoiled the entire production. They should have someone with a stronger vocal to sing that part. P!nk or Alicia Keyes would be a good choice.

[baskalayt]

ughh madonna ruins it. why does she get her own verse anyway? all the other singers have significantly better voices!

[puckeylut]

I agree but I'm guessing it's to get the message across having a fellow female heroine from the 80's sing with her.

[tomzzzzzzcasper]

beautiful track very important message

[leaoni321]

good on yer annie x

[wafy86]

...and Madonna!!! :D

[wendythehater]

No escucho a Shakira!!!!!

[piddy61]

GRAZIE..........

[guhakalki]

Breath taking,courageously inspiring,brave,&LOVING!

[fierce436]

Very beautiful video + song!!!

[beartech]

We've seen Avelilie helped through the SING project... and I imagine there are lots of other kids like her being helped thanks to this campaign...

good on you Annie... keep up the good work. You're doing it girl! big love.

[Tracymmo]

Amazing! I'm so grateful to see the video portray South Africans not as helpless victims in need of rescue by rich countries, as we so often see in charity videos, but as see strong women who need us to work WITH them. The video balances good info about the crisis (I learned some new things here) with showing a dignified people. And what can I say? Those little ones are adorable! I want to hug them all. Many thanks to Ms. Lennox!

[shimmer0001]

this is so amazing. she is such an amazing person. really sweet. she's got a gorgeous voice and is willing to give up her spare time to go to countries like this.Well done Annie xxxxx
