pnyc1969 - This is the answer: It is the exact same that she wore on AMA. The dress was designed to be 'supreme ' when she performed on the AMA. More imporantantly it is a costume - full of rich color (won't fade in the camera), durable, and made to last for years. On AMA she wore pink to stand out amongst the many performers on stage with her. Believe it or not it one of Bob's originals for her. Yes! It cost $3,800. Therefore, though years later - one must get their monies worth.
@yesrossyes I watched both performances side by side and I have determined that you may be right. In 1987 she wears it off her right shoulder, my first indicator that it was a different dress. But at the end she wears it on the shoulder, like in this clip. In '87 it was shinier and deeper in color but it may have faded. Why would I not believe it's Mackie? It probably is. Let's hope she does an exhibit of her costumes for us fans to see!
I looked at footage of the AMA show when she sang this and wore a pink dress. This is a different version of the dress. It's not quite as pretty as the first one. I'd like to know if there is some significance of wearing such a style to sing this song. It seems strange to repeat a dress style many years later to sing a song that is not even an important one in her catalog. Does anyone know? She looks very pretty and sounds great here.
@pnyc1969 This dress and performance is more saucy for a more liberal audience. Diana definitely gets the specific commercial market thing. That's one of the reason's she's so wealthy
@SpazChat More liberal than whom? She wore the first version in the USA. It's not something she did for the European audiences, if that's what you're implying.
A little gem in her catalog and a perfect example of the mid-80s flirtation with Caribbean sounds that was everywhere at the time. The 1985 AMA performance of this (maybe the only other?) was even better. I she wore this dress on that show as well. It's already quite old at this time.
@81StrangeFruit I know. But that doesn't answer my question. I want to know if there is some particular reference to be aware of for the pink, girlish, almost identical dresses she wore in performances 7 years apart.

I like the way the band interprets this song here, much better than the record.

@pnyc1969 The style fits the song because she can twirl like Marilyn Monroe and show her panties.

Each time I hear this, I'm reminded of the soundtrack of Weekend at Bernie's II. If they ever make a third one, this should be the theme song.
