Rachel Stevens-"Knock On Wood" Discomania

[laminage]

This is actually the "Third" Version. The first one was done by Johnnie Taylor who had other hit records like "Who's Making Love", and "Disco Lady" The Second Version was done by Aimee Wright in the 1970's, and was also featured in "54" about the notorious nightclub.

[whitbyjet65]

This has nothing to do with music. It's just vanity, posing, over-production & cynical marketing. I remember when women COULD sing & they didn't try too hard to look cute & sexy.

[TUCCamco]

The MOST Feminine Female on the Planet. i just LOVE this woman. Perfect in every way

[CocoKiindt]

2D's ex.

[DefenderOfTheFaith66]

Cheryl Cole learned absolutely nothing from this era.

[netchi2]

This woman is so gorgeous that she cannot possibly be human. She's some goddess is you ask me. I absolutely love this performance.

[sprmodelmelove]

lip singing

[terrycharnley]

She didn't record this did she? It's not available as a download. Bummer. Great cover, Amii Stewart must think highly of this.

[MisterChirp]

@terrycharnley She did. There was an album released in conjunction with this Discomania TV special and it appears on there. You can find the album pretty cheap on ebay.

[terrycharnley]

@MisterChirp Thanks, I found it and it was cheap! Not even two pounds. 

[k3llz67]

she wished she could sing this like ami stewart!

[alaxy75]

<3 i like it :D

[skorpion43]

La amo :)

[Baritonevoice67]

more emphasis on the tits please... they make a worthy substitute for her ( i use the following term loosely ) VOICE!

Hey how many hours do you think she posed in front of the mirror....i bet she posed for YEARS

NARCISSISTIC COW!

[Butterflyfleetwood]

Absolutely awesome! Love it!

[alexpc65]

The tune is SOOO low... it loses the high notes od the chorus...

[londonboy1980]

this is SO not TOTP :D

[fegasiva]

muy buena la version de la cancion very good

[allure2006]

I would love to have that shirt. >.>

[daveindublin1]

Rachel Stevens is gorgeous, genuine n talented, i love this girl n when i get a record deal im gonna do my best to take her out on the town hhahaahaa

[Baritonevoice67]

u r fuckin nuts..... she belongs in a porno

[wlintern34]

BRUTAL - an absolute classic butcherd

[rphlplayer4]

(y)

[ant8tfive]

who cares about the song, her tits are bouncing all over the place

[miavonni]

cute thats about it !! not even close to Amy

[jsayers38]

Who cares if she's lip-syncing???? There's no merit to a pop version of a classic, just enjoy the show! She is stunning, sexy and entertaining - she just married the wrong guy (i.e.not me).

[davedaveydave]

fuck the sound quality look at her tits, awesome, does anybody have thin high quality

[ipodjunkie144]

i LOVE this! any mp3 of this?

[BustyBlonde1983]

Rachel "midget with veneers and implants" Stevens? Huh? Who is this fukkin' UNKNOWN. She sounds like Kim Zolciak from the "Real Housewives of Atlanta." This is pure, unmitigated TRASH!

[ant8tfive]

rachel

u can knock on my wood anyday :)

[MickeyLove01]

Nice wig Donna. Stevens doesn't have the talent to sing a classic such as this.

[WtfUsuck1300]

I totally love this song. & i think she sung it well. i love both versions. <3333

[TruthRaider]

She's vanished!

[liebheart]

not bad but not great..she looked hot and that was her aim,as for the song,it needs someone who can sing the hell out of it,and that's not her.

[speedygonzoles]

it looks and sounds like shes lip singing it.

[technerdwannabe]

...she always looks like she's lip syncing it... (with whatever she sings). I wont be surprised if she was.

[jorlando2001]

They almost always lip sync with headsets because the microphone picks up the singer's breaths between words. If you can't hear the breaths, you know that it's lip synced.

[dancindivaz]

@jorlando2001 she's probably lip syncing cuz she's dancing too. also, she didn't even mouth the first few words, so i bet she is lip syncing... n e ways, just looking for a song 4 my solo next year... hmm...

[dmd856]

@jorlando2001 not to say this performance wasn't mimed. but a good performer knows when, and how to breathe when they sing. so you don't notice breath in take... so your judgement call isn't accurate.

[jorlando2001]

@dmd856 It's not an issue of when to breathe, but rather that with a headset microphone you can't get your mouth away from the mic when you do breathe, so there is no way to avoid recording your breaths at some point during the song. Add to that the fact that she is dancing, and so working even harder, and her breathing should be even more pronounced.

[bilalnumber7]

@jorlando2001 i don't care about rachel stevens but mic picks up breaths of all the baloney

[bondbug73]

It's alright. Trouble with modern remixes is that synths or computer's pale compared to the 1979 original.

[Stingray1603]

great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HelenDiazOfficial]

shame shes lip synching again :( she has a good voice (not amazing but she is a great performers and a lovely girl) x

[xXDK7Xx]

CRAP.

[arturocas90]

I wish there was a studio version for this song!!! I really like it.

P.S.: I like both versions a lot, I agree with what the positive things people have said about this one ;-)

[franckie47]

The studio version exist, it's on Discomania CD

[TUCCamco]

After watching this several times, I actually like this version the best, not saying that it is better than Aimee Stewart's, they are different, and both good. Maybe because Rachel's version is Fresh and New. Some people just dont like change, and I am one of them. I have always held a great love for the music of the 70's and 80's, but I have also enjoyed Rachel since the beginning of S Club. She has grown beautifully in singing, dancing, and yes, even in looks.

[TUCCamco]

Very nice Modern Version of a wonderful classic. For all those who have alot of negative things to say about this.... I dont see you up there, yet Rachel is up there. Hmm. Whats that say?.

[PJScooter]

There's only 1 reason to do this song and thats if you are as good as Aimee Stewart, and she was'nt even close

[jorlando2001]

Am I the only one who notices how incredibly hot she is? I think she looks much better in this video with her hair up than with straight hair; it counteracts her thin eyes somehow.

Also, while her voice doesn't compare to the greats, it really isn't all that bad.

[iangoodman1964]

she has made millions so they cant all be wrong, the US has the freak sigers that out number the US get a life all of you

[johnpizarelli89]

Mate, you're the geek actin' hard with the keyboard. Accept it, you're a cunt. Everyone else here is thinking it too.

[tilly365]

is she asian?

[j00cym00se]

tilly365 are you an idiot?

[tilly365]

what??? she looks part lol.

i noe she british though, chill.

[Lovejessicaalba]

she is part asian other things cant remember O.o

[allan123pemberton]

this song makes me laugh

[johnpizarelli89]

HAHA! good one. You know, being a sick fuck is hardly anything to be proud of. Neither is insulting me with a keypad. I'd like to see you have the guts to do anything to me or anyone to their faces

[lukkas74]

..............................­...

[Translucent1982]

Britney sampled this song in Womanizer :)

[johnpizarelli89]

well, i guess you'll never know if that happens, cos you'll be too busy jerking off to snuff films by the sound of it.

[jsmith19810808]

it was disco mania a disco nostalgia show rach's cover was really good, i realy liked it

[johnpizarelli89]

i wish there weren't stupid letches on the internet like yourself.

Keep your thoughts to yourself mate, no-one cares about your fantasies.

[johnpizarelli89]

you wish mate

[bkkid100234]

i totally didnt realize this was the rachel stevens

in S Club 7

[Paulnissan]

Sorry but what a poor version, such a disappointment just shows no one can better Amii with vooals or performance with such a classic dance track

[ganstathuginit]

this is not bad i dont think she trying to steal the song i prefer the original  but this is good to dont hate

[dede1463]

see is lipping it. she cant even do it live

[Zeitsplitters2]

It might just be me but this has none of the character of the orignal or the Amii Stewart versions... It all just seems a bit too soulless for my liking... At least they've tried to modernise it a bit I guess...

[sweetshuga126]

do you think she is actually singing on stage despite the fact she has a mic piece?

[JustAGirl95]

no... you cantr dance and sing like that at the same time... i think its just to make it look like shes singing

[fagmallion]

she mimed this beautifully, thank god she learnt a lot about singing being in S Club 7

[texcymbal]

korea does disco revivals alot

[yuanjar]

nice performance!

[mcld345]

original is betta

[guffley]

CRACKING TITS

[scribbles85]

hey all u rachel stevens fans in the uk u should vote for her on Strictly Come Dancing this Sat 22 Nov on BBC One!!!

[azninvasion22198]

they're both really good!

[sequoia825]

wow what the heck is wrong with original. Wow talk about awful!!!!!!

[pipepipe87]

U_U

[blaedvanderwoodsen]

[ahmsak]

pew pew pew Ic

[Benjiamillion]

I didn't see this! Brill song, fab singer! woop woop!

[turner60]

Jesus I get the horn every time she's on the TV.

[Ilovelee381]

it wasn't TOTP it was 70's mainia

[hallie1596321]

I LOVE THIS SONG DID A DANCE TO IT

[XxToRNx4EvaxX]

my dance song!!!

[KaijudoMaster11]

She can knock on my wood anytime, that's for sure.

[sucharadder]

Amazing, excellent version...

[silverwater006]

Please Rachel.. I knew you wanted 'More More More' but you should've left it at that and let US want 'MORE MORE MORE' lol ...For God's sake dont butcher Amii Stewart!!!.. your version sucks!

[Dancing0Em]

I like this version of the song but the dancing is horrible.

[teencreddywatson]

I Love Rachel Stevens

[USA4Eva1776]

I laughed out loud when I first cranked this up even though I like Rachel.You see boys and girls this is a lesson on what can happen when you try and improve upon(or even equal) the original Amii Stewart version and fail miserably in the attempt.Even the clone dancers trying their heart out to be sexy can't save this lame effort from disaster.

[UBIQUEROL]

i must agree with you there

[USA4Eva1776]

Thanks for the thumbs up UBIQUEROL,

you clearly have excellent taste in and appreciation of good music when you hear it! :)

[UBIQUEROL]

you're welcome, anything before the year 2000 is good for me

[Petethepedalopirate]

What the hell does she think she's doing?

Ami stewart? who's that, Do they not know this was written and performed by soul LEDGEND Eddie Floyd? This is rubbish

[UKLadNathan89]

It's a shame that she never performs live

[Highlandlord]

Probably something to do with a lack of real talent (aside from her shapely form obviously)

[speedfmtv]

it good to here a good song form speed fm

[llaauurreen10]

is it just a me or are all the dancers have black hair?

did they do tht on purpose?

[systemax2]

yeah they probably did it on purpose so that the lead singer would stand out from them more.

[BITEMEFAIRY]

Awesome and definitely sexier. Rachel definitely has one of those I'd do anything she asks voices! The bit at 2:40 shows you what I mean! Oh and anyone calling her live should watch some of Amii's vids on here of this. She isn't perfect. Some of you need to put your rose tinted specs down. The 70's and 80's were the worst offenders!

[WtfUsuck1300]

I luv this song both versions!

[ShadyLadyof08]

WOOT WOOT!!!!

[farisello]

This version sucks, Amii Steward its a lot ,way better, no version like amii's this one sucks.

[ComaLies225]

I prefer Amii Stewart too. This is too poppy, Amii's has a big voice. Sorry but this is pretty bad

[goochibabe]

has rachel released any songs recently?

[jerjes78]

SOrry but I prefer Amii Stewart. This sounds like Sania Twain

[itsbusinessbaby]

the original - only the best will do, indeed

[danje10]

And yet another hot number from Rachel Stevens! And no one has heard of her here in the USA or Australia! (my two homes).

She's another Kylie Minogue for sure!

But what's with her background dancers always wearing hot pants or mini-skirts, and Rachel is always in long pants? Comon, Rachel! Lighten up! skirts and heels, please!

(OK, so I'm a dirty old man!)

[BsstBlau]

so you're the one causing global warming

[jakepunjabi]

why did they say it's an Ami stewart classic? the orig was done by eddie floyd!?

[NitaBMe]

yeah, and truth be told I think they lost something with these hopped up versions ... let me think of what that could be- GENUINE EMOTION

[mamabear0106]

Yes, the original was done by Eddie Floyd, but even HE said he's made more money off the song since Amii Stewart did the remake.

[waynef91]

id well knock the back end out of her :p

lol

[draadje1979]

Ami Stewart is way better

[lukt1]

rachel is so fucking seeeeexxxyyy

[fedormmagod]

Rachael Stevens is a slightly better lookin Posh Spice......They have the same Talent. Both fuckin Crap.......

[fedormmagod]

Dancers are fuckin hot!!!

[paulsoho]

i love this version. really good

[mrcoffee67]

nice I love this song

[AimeeLeighOx]

This Is better Than The Original x

[campgalore]

After just watching Amy's live version-this one's a bit naff and lifeless

[zsushbear]

Oh NO!!!!!!!! Audio assassination.! Shut up Ms Stevens.

Leave this song along.PLEASE!!!!!.

[Zarah93]

The original is better but she is also good

[Jaketoshiba]

Balls she's good!

[06david06]

what albums this from?

[zedslivingdead]

Wow, original is SOOOO much better, this version's rediculously slow.

[Zarah93]

I think that she is pretty good.

[fedormmagod]

Who let this bitch kill a classic?

[Jaketoshiba]

fkn ITV. ze bastards!

they never make anything gooood. =/

[moderndayjoe]

always thought this song waz older.... like 1970s... how wrong i was...

[Katie4Aaron4eva]

go Rachel!! i love u!! this version better than whoever sang it before and its a shame that Rachel didnt include it on her album

[JPFanBoy2]

you lil bitch, tehe originall kicked this thing in the ass

[Katie4Aaron4eva]

what gives you the right to call me a bitch just because my opinion is different to yours?

[JPFanBoy2]

aw damn, excuse my little bother, he's home for most of the day and found out my youtube passwaord recently, and now he's been insulting people. Sorry for any insult he's done

[Katie4Aaron4eva]

[Lovejessicaalba]

I loved Rachel since she first

appeared in s club.

She is better solo than with them.

[JoJo9900]

i like listening to this ..!

[nirvana4040]

She sounds really good.

Better than anyone that's out right now.

[KALILITO1]

y soy peruano.... alguien me puede decir de donde es Rachel... inglesa. americana... escosesa. noruega.. peruana? por favor alguein ke me hable de ella

[mathtimms]

[KALILITO1]

dios mio ke esta hermosa y linda sirenita... es toda una Diosa de la disco....mis plegarias para ke siga asi.. nunca la escuche.. primera ves y la verdad ya me doy todo por ella un fan mas Rachel.. TE ADORO....

[Nogirchik]

lipsing

[sweepdisco7]

The highlight of that clip was Donna presenting! To be fair to Rachel, she's better than some of those 'pop princesses'. DONNA SUMMER = LEGEND

[latinocoolguy83]

She shoulda been as big as Kylie...but the UK I guess just didnt feel Rachel...but he album 'Come and Get It' is a great electro pop album.

[nicko02000]

i dont mind her, i think shes cool.

[Blusinger13]

Great song, she looks good but she made her career form her looks not her ahem 'singing'...!

[Sweetiebaby122]

first the lighting was really stupid. second is she the girl from s club 7? and third did anyone else think she was lip syncing??

[Miscillaniou]

Yes it was, yes she is, and yes I do.

[funwatcher]

where is the power in her voice? lightning was more a small lightbulb...üben üben popüben

[JapDude2000]

its ok, gotta admit i like the lightning

[mathtimms]

i like it...

[AnnieThu]

Wtf is that...
