Under Pressure - Bowie and Lennox

[Piero1940]

Annie is a great singer but she is not Freddie Mercury...

[lukefromdownunder]

I did not enjoy that. Not at all

[mirush65]

comments should be about the MUSiC...FREDDiE, R.i.P.!!!

[dagoninfinite]

Oh like you all gay guys were there and fu(k3d Bowie in the arse.

[magical108]

@dagoninfinite is that some deep-rooted fantasy of yours? you must be a tired evangelical....so quick to judge when you know very little.....bless ya....

[dagoninfinite]

@magical108 all these gay people here think Bowie's their poster boy while he's nothing more than an actor.

[YazooMusic]

You know, there is a lot of homophobia and sexism in the comments that get made on all versions of this performance. Annie Lennox is a major star, a recognized singer, and a longtime campaigner on behalf of AIDS in Africa. Who, exactly, would have been a better choice for this pairing? She and Bowie do this wonderfully in the final staged performance.

[MrRetiredOfficer]

@YazooMusic I read somewhere that the bigger the homophobe, the more likely that person is in fact gay themselves. They put on that stance as a way of distancing themselves from that lifestyle. They know what they are inside, but hate themselves for it.But what does being gay or straight have to do with this awesome music?

[carey579]

there were a lot of lgbt singers in the 80s, bowie, boy george, queen, elton, george and all british! love them all but its like going backwards these days

[rehpycuol]

@carey579 George Michael wasn't a gay in the 80s though

[SureshVSPMNair]

To state the bleeding obvious to those losers who always seem to show up on every video to post their petty, whiny comments - these are 2 of the top artists in the world today. They've earned the right to perform this song their way and their rehearsal performance is amazing. If you had any clue about what it takes to create music you would know this. Freddie himself would've not only approved, he would've stood there and clapped with his big smile on his face because the man had a big heart.

[mjbjnr2009]

For goodness sake, people! It's a rehearsal! Anybody in showbiz will tell you that the purpose of a rehearsal is to mark things out (dancers also do this when theey're going through their paces)! Neither Bowie or Lennox would have been singing at their full potential! They're simply getting a feel for things! Watch the finished product, and you will be startled! It was stellar!

[TheIkitta]

I do not like how she sings it at all, sorry guys. Why can't she sing it like Freddie, it's his song at the end of the day

[talonfinitex7]

SERIOUSLY?? Mhh Maahh, Annie??? OH crap, seriously Brian May should have walked up and slapped her and said, 'What would Freddie do???' Then you would hav had a song....

[hoffmanshades]

@talonfinitex7 I suppose that's why he looked so fucking happy then was it?

[mamflyer]

is there any video of the rehearsals of george michael?

[carlosadao1000]

Maravilhoso

[rex666777]

And don't you dare insult Bowie. Cigs or not he's got a voice you will never have. If your voice had any character you wouldn't still be a studio singer.

[rex666777]

You are so goddamn wrong. That was an amazing performance. Annie nailed it

[studiosinger]

It's hard to believe Bowie would sacrifice the quality of his vocals by smoking. It's amazing he has a voice at all. They both sucked in this video and they know it.

[hoffmanshades]

@studiosinger And they didn't suck - They did fucking amazing. Both well established vocalists just going over the lyrics in a rehersal to make sure they could get it right, pleasing an original member of Queen, the audience and obviously a few people watching this vid. Why don't you watch the performance and see how it turned out? 'Legendary' is the answer. Anyway, here - Eat a cock, I got you a whole bag you greedy little piglet. - 'Nnum num num' says studiosinger.

[koilikethefish]

wow, its magic b4 the stage, without the lime green and racoon- but those made it better

[noiseonlyplease]

see, the whole video should of been george michael lip syncing to the song. now that would of been sweet.

[noiseonlyplease]

1:16 LOL WTF

[artistonhpvs]

Not at all impressed with Dave taking a puff now & again...1st time knowing he is or 'was" a smoker...

[dragosevm]

@artistonhpvs

That tells you only how much you know about "Dave".... not much I guess.

[sussan2006]

Bowie smoking while singing? Bad example or its an act?

[XXXAsgardiusXXX]

@sussan2006 Bowie is smoking what could happen? At worst it'll get cancer, I mean the cigarettes of course

[BERTRAMCAT]

@sussan2006 good example.

[feenelfuturo]

I like Bowie, I like Lennox, but I LOVE the old Queen and this is a peace of cr...p. Cats crying....

[XZYOE]

Ian Hunter in the beginning <3

[gilamonster001]

MARLBORO for ever !

[Montin83]

They all look kind of sad...the whole band

[baruchinR]

anyone else feels like this should have been a duet by Bowie and George Michael...?

[Kake947]

Jizz on a plate.

[joaoprmachado]

George Michael's sing-a-long is the best part of this video :)

[poupeerusse99]

@joaoprmachado I agree

[louietre1]

tHESE GUYS FCKN JAMMD OUT:)

[Saikaliz]

Awesome!!! Tomorrow nov 24... RIP dear Freddie Mercury. We miss u!

[steffilina1974]

I hav green eyes !!!!!!!!!

[nepasegalite]

Supercooooool!!

[jupiterisdead]

Mr. Bowie's always smoking...

[bgaffney711]

@jupiterisdead Yet he still sings better than most of today's singers

[MrBorninseptember]

Freedy`s heritage .

[wrightsong]

Having a smoke too huh?

[gabie33luz]

Ho, George Michael <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 ....

[Deel2506]

Nice joke at the beginning :)

[hibles1]

This sounded awful...

[sharonrasecht]

I guess Bowie holds his own with Annie Lennox, not the other way around...

[macduflives]

not many singers can hold their own with bowie on stage...lennox does and more so...

[dallasewings]

Great song love seeing them doing a duet together.

[spacecowboy7580]

It's not " the " Eurythmics...it's Eurythmics.

[axegas76]

with cigarette in hand

[Siyestrietza]

Both great singers, but both of their voices are so incredibly unique and distinct that they don't really blend that well. Super talented, but not good at duets.

[EnteleiEchein]

david with a cigarette in hand. chrchr..

the fit well together.

[URFACEINMYAS]

Yay George Micheal.

[SmokeBojangles]

Like this better than what was in the Show.A Much as I hate the Bathroom whacker pervert George Michael ,he does a great job with that band.

[FlyingTurtletastic]

SO AWESOME! I love how they aren't all business, and look like they're actually enjoying themselves! >< Bowie's so cute at the end!

[chilemagallanico]

Solo miramos desde lejos.

[blanchedubois11]

What is the joke he cracks in the beginning? :)

[concretepoo]

@blanchedubois11 instead of asking ' you alright' they ask am i alright because they know how each other are being psychics but not themselves :)

[blanchedubois11]

@concretepoo Haha,now i get it! It's just that he first says "psychiatrist",so i was confused. :P

Thanks! :)

[perezosa00]

i love to see george michael singing this song...this is one of my favorites songs!!

[ringafukenrosi]

She is ok. We all know how it could be better;) RIP Freddie

[TheRiceowlex]

I love Annie Lennox, so full of life and soul in every song..Just terrific

[Idolmakercat]

This couple singing just .......something is wrong. Not the power of the original song.

[hotrodswe]

@Idolmakercat There was an extra sparc in the live performance that isn't seen here. I think they did great live.

[blooddonor70]

@hotrodswe She was saving her voice veeerrry common.

[hotrodswe]

@blooddonor70 Might be the case but it doesn't matter much, the live performance was excellent and this was good too. I think that they get a kick out of performing for a huge audiance as well which makes them give a little extra.

[MissOphelia82]

@IronSheik00 Bowie is NOT dead! You scared the shit out of me.

[steffenvonmihajlov]

@MissOphelia82 same here.

[lEtudel]

@MissOphelia82 OMG!! same here!

[Bluedemon124]

@IronSheik00 Is this a new fad or something? It seems like every music video I've watched in the past week has some bs RIP comment, guess I'm out of the loop

[blanchedubois11]

@IronSheik00 Dude,he's ALIVE!

[Potts132]

@IronSheik00 David Bowie is alive bud

[bluhole]

@IronSheik00 He ain't dead



[LolableTV]

@IronSheik00 david bowie aint dead bro

[blooddonor70]

@IronSheik00 Stupid.

[MrRainydays]

I hate Bowie's smoking...Brian hates smoking!

[oybeutu]

Yo, best Vanilla Ice cover evah!

[Nasalea]

@oybeutu Okay, that was funny. Vanilla Ice, really? No.

[dupa333jelenia]

@oybeutu funny :)

[dmitrydonkovtsev]

большой привет Елене матьее Ваенге с Пусиком Михайловым. Вот одна из сотен причин почему мы никогда вас не будем слушать. Thanks for posting

[dupa333jelenia]

You know whats funny? Two awesome musicians that still can't put in the power that Freddie Mercury was able to put into that song.

[dlfunky1]

@dupa333jelenia its a rehearsal their not gonna wreck their voices for a practice run man!

[dupa333jelenia]

@dlfunky1

I saw the live performance, although better, it does not invalidate my previous statement. Also - nowhere did I say that this is bad. The duo is amazing. I just wanted to stress how good FM was.

[FlintboyG]

@dupa333jelenia Uh... David Bowie was on the original... 

[dupa333jelenia]

@FlintboyG

Yes.

[lordyendor]

Brought a beautiful tear to my eyes.



[rachelpere97]

Is that John deacon and Roger talyor In the background

[perezosa00]

me imagino que es el ensayo antes del concierto...me encanta ver a george michael tarareando la cancion...

[fatherfigure1988]

These =two are just amazing. And, George in the background is priceless.

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

Isn't it sorta weird how David kinda darts from around behind the guitarist at the very beginning of the clip (with the psychiatrist joke)?

[MrNaturalhigh72]

I love Annie Lennox and I think the tribute was a beautiful gesture but after hearing Freddie, there is just no comparison.

[mrfrogbutt1]

@MrNaturalhigh72 why waste your time making comparison? what matters most is that it came from the HEART and these two loved Freddie like we all do and always will. Annie is a tireless crusader for HIV and AIDS funding and awareness today. She is a huge attribute to helping those stricken with this disease especially in Africa.

[MrNaturalhigh72]

@mrfrogbutt1 --I love Annie--always have....just saying no one can sing this like Freddie. Both are legends in my book.

[madscientist2900]

shit

[Emzyvoicexxx]

hes just being himself its great :)

[dedfreex]

there were two physic's walking down the street and the first one says to the other, you're doing fine, how am i?



[Realtarquinn]

Ice, Ice Baby

[youduja]

Wow - was`n das für'n geiler Blick hinter die Kulissen? Bowie qualmt, George Michael singt auch alles mit - Hammer! :-))

[nocturne61]

@youduja Das hat mich gerade total mitgerissen. Super!

[hollaa19]

Annie didn't make that work at all. It's a tough song that I'm only ever seen Freddie nail so far.

[xLavenderBlossomx]

she ruins it :|

[tappman85]

David Bowie looks like Ryuk from Death Note XD

[kisut7]

who the f@ck is freddie prince? is that singer from the prince?

[katrin99verified]

this eyes

[TheBrradsullivan]

i love that george michael is watching them

[itachitheclankiller]

@TheBrradsullivan AND SINGING ALONG....

[CykciM]

@TheBrradsullivan ... and hate that he's being that asshole who always sings along when you're trying to listen to someone else.

[zbr76]

@TheBrradsullivan - it is comedic, and I think he's doing his best to lip-sync to their vocals too. It's a shame he made an incredibly messed-up pig's ear of Somebody to Love at the actual tribute concert.

[numbtesticle]

loved it

[elchatodeoro1]

Annie Lennox did a terrible interpretation of this beautiful song..... nobody like freddy

[Guitarsenals]

Trainwreck...

[bartonim]

Freddie would be proud.

[Obelisk2290]

they are just making sure the parts are right

[shandiva2838]

it's a rehearsal fcktards. of course shes not gonna sing all out.

[gcollin75]

Queen turned into shit after Mercury died.

[stratmancj]

annie lennox sucks ass ... doesn't do freddie justice

[Dravenswraith]

whats with magically snapping blackcoated david and then blue shirt david in the same shot? or is it just late for me lol 1:17

[noiseonlyplease]

i didnt get davids joke in the begining

[ivankaramasov]

@noiseonlyplease He says: "Two psychiatrists... no two psychics pass each other on the street. One says to the other "You are alright, how am I"". But his best joke was in an interview where he was asked: "Do you like pussycats?" and answered "Yes, but my name is not Cats.":-)

[noiseonlyplease]

@ivankaramasov hahahahhahaha thanks now i get it.

[PhoenixDranreb]

pushing down on me pushing on you!!!!!

[pascal2m]

Another proof that Annie Lennox could unfortunately never sing live... I do love her, but in the studio. (Bowie classy as ever of course).

[pateyongwanada]

Sorry gang, Annie is the talent. She sided up with the talent of David Bowie, George Micheal and Freddie Prince. Without her none of the three would be heard as much as they were. Annie decided male gay was not the end of the world. In saying that, Annie I am very much heterosexual.

[stephen3398]

@pateyongwanada Freddie Prince?

[sherp2u1]

She sounds like a cat on a hot ten roof!

[manystar]

fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[tiburcio9999]

take out that fuckin shemale.. she cant sing..

[mayhemburn]

@tiburcio9999 you can call to sing with ur super voice... rly, do u know this woman work?...

[tiburcio9999]

@mayhemburn i know your moms pussy..thats all i need to know by now :)

[mayhemburn]

@tiburcio9999 u have a disgusting taste... good luck with my mama pussy, i need a new bro

[JohnnyLovely2]

@tiburcio9999 Shemale? That's Annie Lennox, the singer of the great band Eurythmics. The only reason why the original song was good was because of David Bowie. Queen isn't even really good. She *can* sing.

[superjujujuice]

this woman is supposed to be a singer...embarrasing?.....Gail Ann Dorsey!

[foneBro]

interesting....

[pateyongwanada]

My Call, Leave them both alone.

[Hacker73]

That's the chameleon of Pop --- that's the real thing! The man DOES SMOKE. no pose in there, no fashion, no "health generation" that's it, man. True Real Cigarretes smoker. Old good Bowie...

[beeroosterm]

@Hacker73 Yup. But I don't think he's going to get much older. If had that level of heart disease at 57, he's in real trouble...

[downhill34]

THIS IS A REHEARSAL!! A RUN THROUGH. A PRACTICE. DO PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS??

[MissstefanoMcCartney]

freddie wins! miss u king!

[Shanzykellz]

By the way,,,the band ROCKS!

[Shanzykellz]

This is a great song...hearing it to the bones like this makes me extremly happy :)

[wtw88]

Anyone doubting the ability of these two should watch the stage version they were rehearsing for here. And, if you love this song, watch David sing it with Gail Ann Dorsey in his 2003 tour. It's on youtube. Gail Ann plays bass and sings Freddy's part.

She and Bowie were incredible together. I took my family to the 2003 concert and both of my kids, who were already musicians, have consolidated their talents since. The concert inspired them.

[sexybutterflybabe]

I agree Freddy could out sing her here, but she could also out sing herself. She has a really powerdful voice and this is just a rehersal.

[sexybutterflybabe]

@Sylvibear I think I'd rather have poor taste in music as renzogro does then be a racist asshole like you. take that racist shit somewhere else.

[TheUnknownUserAcc]

No. They should never try to sing this .-. Queen is the only band that should

[renzogro]

no me gusta ni mierda las voces.

[sftypinluv]

okay annie is a wonderful singer but anyone looks shitty compared to the magnificent 8 octave range of freddy mercury. just a fact.

[dlp2006]

2 legends, great....

[Kiekschapp]

Schade! Annie ist eine tolle Sängerin, aber dieses Lied kann sie nicht rüberbringen.

What a pity! Annie is a great singer, but she can't perform this song.

[vuotopiuscuro]

annie ear!!

[RBgoodplayer]

sorry, but i hate this version because of Lennox... /: she does not have a voice strong enough to sing this

[1800HART]

except for psychiatrist joke, erm .. psychic joke that is .. ~~ that version worked :D

[148stevo]

quite clearly, im having an affair with lennox and bowie. stop snooping or i will humiliate you. GFS TT

[PatGrahamBlock]

Brings up all kind of memories of what I was doing back then! :)

[Jimnup]

She was saving her voice - a requirement for professional singers - see the actual performance. Ms. Lennox shows why she is one of the most incredible performers in pop music.

[cbieber99]

I love how George Michael is singing along at 3:00 :) x

[BETH78900X]

Annie Lennox from 0:26 - 0:33 sounds like a strangled guinea pig, this is the worst cover of this song ever, its actually hilarious how bad it is. Under pressure is my favourite all time Queen song though =(

[n0rt0nj4zZ]

although bowie has a great voice, he can sometimes be a bit too laid back in a live performance, he let annie sing all over him in this and the freddie concert. when he goes for it , he is without doubt one of the very best.

[grayboy2222]

I love the way you can see in their faces how much fun they are having and how much they admire each other.

[existentialiste832]

super!

[semajtee]

Annie is not even close to the Gail Ann Dorsey version

[howltothemoon101]

EEEK DAVID *faints* I love him ;)

[youngsnaps100]

Got to be honest here,i love annie lennox but freddie mercury owns her ass,on this song anyhow?!@ dejahthoris,young ppl..Make that some young uns do have good taste in music,as long as they're not off their heads listening to repetative beats,that is?! lol i'm 34 btw :)

[dejahthoris]

how fucking awesome was that... old people like me ftw- young people or people who look good on the outside does not mean ART

[chandler1600]

I Love Annie

[faithgal101]

I like Gail Ann Dorsey better than Annie Lennox. That's just my opinion though. But Ohh my gosh. David Bowie I effin' love you.-3

[sdfgsdfg11]

@faithgal101 Nice info on Ann, she's hot.

[cac1987fcb]

annite lennox is hot..with all respect tho her.

[ArchoniusXXVII]

I know it's just a rehearsal but Bowie BRINGS HIS A GAME from the start. Lennox does awesome near the end and in the actual performance.
