[mrsoundwave]

marvin gaye song......nice job

[Hyp3boi]

[panzer2010]

solo una artista me a emocionado con sus canciones y es Cyndi Lauper nunca pense emocionarme solo con una cancion, gracias Cyndi...

[ghrpdx]

Anybody know who the backup singer is?

[quiquinella]

sempre bellissima canzone di marvin g. . brava cindy, the best song, for me. ;-))

ciao da ROMA - italy

[sassygirl8881]

i love how she sings this song :)

[alephman]

Extraño mi juventud, extraño los colores de los ochentas, la música, la candidez, la paz tensa, los líderes, las consignas, los genios de la música en su apogeo... en fin, extraño los maravillosos ochentas..

[goldrise]

She was Madonna's nightmare the other hot star of that time that scared Madonna.

[wwegirljazzie]

I love Marvin Gaye but i liek Cyndi's version better.:)

[annaleighclark]

strong woman.

peace, my friends

[ghrpdx]

Whoa! I can't believe this is FIFTEEN years ago. Still sounds wonderful!

[humanhimen]

you are wrong, this, is TWENTY TWO years ago!, on february, 1987! very avant-garde for its time!!!

[ghrpdx]

Hey ... thanks for pointing that out. You're absolutely correct. I thought this was released on Twelve Deadly Cyns but was actually originally released on True Colors, which I don't have in my collection. Either way, I love this song by Cyndi and I love her music. She's not just so unusual, she's so talented!

[marksanderlin]

hahahaha. love the video. but the guy playing the horn isn't fooling anyone. that's a synth. lol.

[8616420]

if u compare cyndy with madoona she live a life of simplicity and free, as her music reflects her personality the only regrets i have for her is that she really is a person of pure enigma . Hope she she could write the meaning of it..

[LiviaTosta]

These words are still very current !!!

[ncmpg]

Wow, this is really bad.

[humanhimen]

ass your comment.

[ncmpg]

@ncmpg There are many great remakes of What's Going On. This is not one of them.

[pxndx123234]

esta bien loca

en los anteriores videos pero ahora no que raro

[humanhimen]

la rola es de reflexion...pero es muy artistico y la version que hizo especial para el video, barrio a la version del lp!

[grecolar]

I think this is a case where both versions are great. Marvin's original is unique, and Cyndi adds a delicious 80's touch that makes it really enjoyable.

[ArianFire]

I love this version!! She's so emotional!!

[bowsun1]

balearic classic

[101SwimGal101]

she has weird hair and her voice is ok but in this one it sounds so bad. i guess to be famous people just have to like you and not even ur voice or if ur pretty or not

[jaguilar26]

nada que ver con marvin gaye, como marvin... nadie

[liljjjj]

This sounds awkward from a white person considering, blacks are the ones killing each other in inner city USA!

[pannyhoze]

Mr. Marvin Gaye's artistry was so profound, that even though he was speaking to a specific condition, in the end his poetry transcended race and sex and became a voice for all people. Marvin would probably be saddened and disgusted by some of comments to this great version of his song - Marvin Gaye belongs to everyone now and we need his voice more than ever. Wake Up People !! Look around and stop limiting yourselves with the race and sex game.

[oyboy67]

Agreed. I think your little comment is pure poetry. I'm not bad myself at writing articles etc but that is just brilliant, thanks.

[Ochips80s]

This song is to remember when times were the best times..enjoying the best music.

[hazanon]

INDEED! Tottaly agreed!

[mykelleygirl]

this is her own rendition, love Marvin Gaye as well.............least she did it justice!

[mikeyw1969]

I love Marvin Gaye and Cyndi Lauper who cares who sings it as long as the message is heard...damn, everybody gotta h8 bout somethin.

[hazanon]

People can´t just feel the heat... they´ve got to complain... that´s all bullshit. Don´t care about those wankers

[ajlabat]

Some songs just should never be aloud to be covered and this is one. By the way her cover of Etta James's at last sucked too.

[moro123x]

me gusta como mierda!!!! cindy lauper y sobre todo esta cancion de ella es lo maximo

[chivaleader89]

i love this version. I'm such a big fan of cyndi lauper's.

[Gnotz19]

was für ne schöne stimme

[cosmos90210]

I can't stand this for one reason. Marvin brought the essence of the sixties to such a reality with this song because he was there at the time. Please leave it alone. Can't stand this cover. It just does't have the eloquience of what Marvim was trying to represent of this tirbulant decade.

[cannibalcorpses]

thank god cosmos for being original :)

[hun615]

I am a Marvin fan. But I enjoy this version of "What's Goin' On" far more than the original.

[wax500]

I don't normally favour covers, but Cyndi brings her own character and charisma to this one. Outstanding!

[Bobbyb9331]

this you did not punish us with this remake Cyndi,outstanding, Marvin would be proud

[carliha]

Esta buena la canción me encanta....tiene buen ritmo....

[arilyn12]

najpiękniejsza piosenka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BroZiesin420]

man who thought that someone could pull off a marvin song! she did

[woahannablue]

I count this as one of my least favourite Cyn songs. I like the video, though.

[panzer2010]

gracias cyndi por existir!!

[mcqued01]

This is an awesome song--even better than the original version by Marvin (blasphame??)

[heavyes]

The first time I heard this song I thought it was her song 'till somebody showed my ignorance. now I love both, Marvin and Cyndi versions

[growupman]

great cover as she gives a strong interpretation for such a porwerful song

[pitabroodje]

I think she looks very pretty in this video

[yukiyu1974]

She did a great cover on this song. I love both versions

[diceglie]

check the live vrsion in my vids much better

[EricRG]

even more embarrassing. makes me want to punch her in the baby maker.

[EricRG]

OMG this is miserable. Possibly worst cover version ever. What a disgrace. Marvin would be embarrassed.

[sherri419]

Well "What's Going On" is such a 60s song that's probably why it didn't top the charts in 1986, I love it though!

I also love the next single "Boy Blue"

(She wrote that one for a friend who was dying), she really Rocks out on that one,

and puts so much emotion into it.

[handzam]

Though this song went only 13 spot in America's top 40,for me it should've been reached top 10, or even top 4. Cyndi proved that her voice could pop out and be named one of a good divas.Heres my top 5 divas.

1. Olivia Newton John

2. Whitney Houston

3. Cyndi Lauper

4. Celine Dione

5. Diana Ross

[trfollower]

This is a an extremely soulful interpretation of this amazing ballad. I rank Cindy second to Joni among the female musicians having left footprints on the planet

[MoonwalkerPJ]

i've always enjoyed Cyndi Lauper. this was a sweet surprise to hear her do this song. OPEN INVITE TO EVERYONE: come watch me cover this song on my channel - Mr. PJ

[robynsegg]

The best part is you have to keep coming back to a video you hate.

[teleny2]

And the vocal technique this comes from is from a true castrato: Jimmy Scott.

[Ochips80s]

what a beautiful version.

[evanymanny]

i didnt know she did this song...is it a cover? i think its a cover yes?

[atp1969]

Yes, it´s a cover song about war.

[jizl]

slickskillet is a jewish, conservative, pro-life, born again, overweight, asian, homosexual, homophobic, lesbian broad who cuts herself!

[slickskillet123]

YOU ARE ALL CUNTS!!!!!

[robynsegg]

I guess it takes a cunt to know a cunt. Now why pray tell would you call yourself that?

[slickskillet123]

oh,that was witty.by the way

i read your background shit.

you are mentally ill.

[robynsegg]

I normally don't like remakes but she made this her own>

[slickskillet123]

sorry,i didn't know you were a bitch.

[robynsegg]

So now you know. It take it as a compliment.

[slickskillet123]

i'm sorry i slaged you i

really mean ! i was acting

like a jackass i'm SORRY !!!!

[robynsegg]

You said some really hurtful things for no reason @ all. But I am a forgiving person, because my Lord wants it so. You are forgiven. & I hope you can forgive me for some of the hurtful comments I wrote back. Truce?

[Geston71]

Truce !

[slickskillet123]

TRUCE !!!

[slickskillet123]

bird shit

[robynsegg]

Sad douchebag

[slickskillet123]

you need to douche

you smelly twat!

[shaghybri2007]

fantastica ! brividi ed emozioni per una delle piu' nelle canzoni del mondo !

[slickskillet123]

poor washed up cyndi.the only gigs she gets now are on rosies queer family cruise!!!!

[livininnashville]

Funny how you know about Rosie's queer family cruise and cindy singing on it, I didn't really think that was common knowledge, unless of course you were on that cruise in the front row wearing your cheerleading outfit and pom poms.

[slickskillet123]

its on HBO ALL THE TIME!i hear you were the rear admiral.

[slickskillet123]

good one i jut seen it on tv.i only break out my cheerleading outfit on special occasions.ineed new pom poms though.

[sherri419]

It was really hard to get a peace song on the radio that year, I mean it was 1986, hut it still charted pretty high (it just missed the top 10).

[GroenGeleSer]

gaye's version aged much better, this is too much stuck in the 80's sound wise

[slickskillet123]

i agree fully!

[Rup86]

The best song of Cyndi with time after time, but this is more intense... so great!!!! so unusual...XDD

[atlante2020]

Wonderfull! The copy surpassed farway the original

[livininnashville]

I think this is by far Cindy's best work ever. She said when she released this song that she couldn't touch what Marvin Gaye had previously released, and that she could only pay tribute to him. Cindy, I think you have far surpassed Marvin, You my friend are phenonmenal. I drove all night is my next favorite that you did, followed by time after time. would love to see songs of this nature return. Keep up the good work.

[slickskillet123]

she doesn't comclose to marvin gaye in fact she rapes this song!!!!

[livininnashville]

obviously you know nothing about music, or presentation. Cindy rapes nothing.  I don't always agree that the original version is better.

[slickskillet123]

you are a fuckin'moron to think this is even close to marvin gaye.the only place she get gigs is on rosies'queer and freak cruises.

[livininnashville]

There's only one moron in this posting sweet heart and it's your ass.

[slickskillet123]

that was too witty

[livininnashville]

obviously you know nothing about music, or presentation. Cindy rapes nothing. I don't always agree that the original version is better.

[erreipt]

you don't know what you are talking about

[slickskillet123]

what are you talking about

[erreipt]

language!

[slickskillet123]

what language

[erreipt]

please get a life!

they sell them at wal mart so you can afford one.

good luck!

[slickskillet123]

for fucks sake another tea-baggin'canadian

muie tiganule futere!

[erreipt]

exactly what I meant: LANGUAGE!

[slickskillet123]

come again.

[Nebeskioganj]

its not bad but marvin is better

[Kennneth1971]

Love this song, I still have the 12" LP version. Yes, I'm old too.

[atomcrush]

Man people sure hate it when others opinions differ than their own. If you hate this version, go find Gaye's version and comment on how fabulous it is. For my money, I prefer Cyndi's interpretation.

[livininnashville]

I loved your comment, people can't stand it when you have a different comment about a singer. Cindy can out sing Marvin 7 days a week. Marvin can't began to touch the range of her voice. I love Marvin Gaye, but the truth is the truth.

[slickskillet123]

ask any true music fan and not your fellow rectum wreckers!!!!

[livininnashville]

have you had yours wrecked sweetheart?

[livininnashville]

Black Sabbath Right, I mean yeah, guess that sums you up.

[slickskillet123]

MARVIN IS A LEGEND cyndi pales in comparison.

[kumatosky]

one of the best performaces of this girl like the other good one (i drove all night ) she is a whole icon of the 80s,

[goldrise]

In the 80's I was more into Cyndi Lauper than Madonna.

[Cristinapb]

Amazing, just amazing!

[thedj2]

this single had a strange life span on the charts. Debued on singles charts in the low 60's. within 3 weeks was in the top 20 and had received Hot shot debut/Hot airplay/highest sales (yes, i'm old), then it took about 5 weeks to go from 20 to 12 and it stalled there. still wondering why radio stopped supporting it at the time.

[141414abc]

..really want to know !!

[hotblondie111]

Never knew who Marvin Gaye was. Cyndi did a brilliant version of his song. Marvin would be very proud!

[2ndLondonBaby]

this is so much better than marvin gaye's.

[kbs07]

that is a big nothing tops the marvin gaye version, definitely not this one.

[judydeneal]

Nah, it's different. It's an interpretation of the original. A feminine perspective.

[nellie2581]

her version is not good at all I've never heard a version so wrongly done

[LONBOX]

Marvin Gaye is something you don't mess around with! But Cyndis version on this song proves that theory wrong!

[suphollywood210]

this song is amazing, cyndi i love you

[PDR7544571211]

this one is slightly better than hole in my heart

[DivaChey]

Cyndi alwayz does it rite!!!

[matematyk4]

CooL

[breeeegs]

campy

"Brotha, brotha, BROTHA!" LOL

[cesar240884]

Me encanta la canción, la traduje al español y algunas veces la canto al español y me encanta, jeje.

La voz de Cyndi combina bien con esa canción.

El video también está muy bueno, es uno de los mejores videos que, a mi parecer, tiene Cyndi.

[enriquemoon]

amazing and unique voice and amazing cover!!!!

[RookieRick1]

love the rainbow shirt, scared more guys, than mice. This song is so under rated. " Canadian Idol" had Cyndi on, did "American Idol".She is my Idol,besides mom :) I Love you.

[RookieRick1]

I love that. So kewl. Like fuck...Whats going on?...Tell my son..whats going on, my mom..whats going on,..my lover...What Is Going ON!?

[diverbound]

A song that should be on the radio NOW.

[LONBOX]

Does this version hold its own with Marvins version? Of course not! Is this a passible remake? Yes it is! Better than her album version! Sometimes(remixes) are just what a song needs!

[johannapaula]

I love her. She sings very well!

[K57R57]

Muy bueno, muchas gracias por ponerlo.

[luckystar427]

It's actually from 1987.

[HairyOldCopywriter]

Breathtaking beautiful, an angel in our midst. Thanks for never giving up in the hard times Cyndi.

[wilddaisies]

Cyndi is amazing. I love her!
