  • In each of the live performances, Annie gives us a slightly different dance and vocal performance ... I simply cannot pick a favorite one, for they are ALL terrific...

    What an incredible TALENT !

  • creepy song and I LOVE IT.

  • i actually got to work with this amazingly wonderful women in an industry of false primadonna's

  • wow! my childhood song!

  • creativity. total original. what a talented amazing woman.

  • She is real GENIUS!!! Amazing woman with amazing voices... Any= 4 octave's :)))

  • The monsters are crazy! Six of them thumbed this masterpiece down!

  • Nice to actually hear every note of her voice, rather than the over produced muck that passes for singing today. Music has returned to the one hit wonders we had in the 1950s and early 1960s where music was produced like sausages from a machine. To compare any of the current crop to Annie Lennox is pointless. Lady Gaga is one of a few who has a voice that can stand on its own. The reason people prefer to download today's music is the product is not worth paying for!

  • @davkarshobby2468 Gaga sucks. All she writes about is sex, fame, or pop culture. Pure trash.

  • fucking bizarre performance.

  • le puse este video a mi señora para que se quede tranquilita jejejeje

  • Perfect.

  • WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!!! ANNIE IS SECOND TO NONE...A TRUE ORIGINAL. Thank God I was child of the 80's...you couldn't give me a ticket to go see one of these one of these overrated and talentless singers that saturate the airwavs today.

  • She lives the song....she's a magnificent performer!!!

  • Amazing woman with an amazing voice. Annie you are one of the best.

  • I love,love,love this song..Annie Lennox is an absolutely amazing, gifted singer!!!

  • Good cover of a great Nicki Minaj song. Fair play Miss Lennox.

  • @samulsamulsamulsamul ...Please tell me you're joking. This song was made by Joseph Huges and David Freeman in 1986 and was covered by Annie in 1995. Nicki took the pattern and made it into an entirely different song just last year.

  • @Orion4442 I think it's a shame pedants like you have to go and ruin music for the uninformed and ignorant. Nicki is a more original artist than you'll ever be. Lots more I hate yous.

  • @samulsamulsamulsamul Not really understanding how my comment ruined the song for you. Sure it may have been a bit rude, but still, I wasn't downgrading Nicki for using this song's pattern; artists sample other artists all the time and it doesn't make them any less original.

  • @Orion4442 ah, you mistook my enjoyment of a song with that of the 'uninformed and ignorant'. Annie must be turning in her grave.

  • @samulsamulsamulsamul Sorry, then.

  • @Orion4442 I forgive you. so does Nicki. I just pray Annie doesn't bare a grudge. As for Joe and David, christ knows how they feel about you.

  • @samulsamulsamulsamul Nicki Minaj is not even an original artist let alone she's a product of the music industry.

  • @PopRocknSoul this is not your fight prns. Stop now.

  • @samulsamulsamulsamul Not my fight? I just gave my opinion like you did buddy. The difference is I have concrete proof to prove my own. As if two different people who have two different views are enemies.

  • when there are no more words to speak, we sing or (and) dance to express our selves.

  • Unlike some people her voice is the same in concert as it is on vinyl or cd,dvd.

  • she is one of the best voices of our time she can be ranked there with the beatles and the eagles her lyrics are meaningful and her voice just translate theminto something you can feel in the deep ofyour soul

  • Glorious.

  • SAW THIS CLIP " LiVE " on SNL!!! OBVIOUSLY, ANNIE WAS "QUEEN"...Thnx

  • What I can say about Annie Lennox is that her voice dances and her body sings!!!!!

    Amazing Annie!!! No Words.

  • Like this if you liked this song BEFORE Nikki Minaj's "Your Love."

  • Comment removed

  • @TheMoralAmbiguities I bought the album when it came out. Was Nikki Minaj even born then?

  • who's here cuz of Nicki Minaj's song "Your Love"!!!!

  • I love Annie Lennox. She's pure awesome!

  • Nicki Minaj Your Love lol

  • silence. Yes.

  • Oh how I love Annie Lennox, she is indeed a legend .... if you don'r like her you have to be crazy.

  • I don't think y'all could've misinterpreted my remarks any more if I'd been speaking English and all you knew was Greek.

  • @NIGHTMARERAY I'd have to say you're right. To those who don't seem to understand, he said she's too awesome for SNL. She should have her own show, or performance stage, or something. Honestly, she is eccentric is such a good way.

  • @Talrose Holy hell, someone else here comprehends English at more than a single-digit reading level. That's exactly what I mean. It's such a strange show she does here - she plays every aspect dead serious, especially the weird parts (pirouetting between lyrics, the childlike interlude part, the odd hand gestures). But by being Annie Lennox, she demands to be taken seriously. Theatrical as hell, but not corny.

  • @NIGHTMARERAY you are impossible to take seriously, and you are Not awesome!

  • She's dancing and pirouetting on the stage! This is impossible to take seriously, but it is just so awesome! SNL cannot contain this performance; it's wildly out of place on the show. SNL is just a carrier for this performance; all everyone can do is basically watch in shock that this is happening on an otherwise trite show.

  • @NIGHTMARERAY Despite the context this is very special.

  • I think the lyrics are slightly different in Annie's version, compared to The Lover Speaks's version.

  • Is that Dr Phil on sythesizer!

  • Thank you so much for putting this clip up! I haven't seen it in years and have been searching for it for a long time.

  • wow i heard the original version of "The lover speaks". Annie really saved this song...:)

  • Keyboardist face at 2:45 is hysterical.

  • I can't stop rewinding from 3:50 - THE BEST PART OF THE SONG!! But the way she sings at 4:07 - - - Definitely my VERY VERY VERY Favourite part!!!!!!!!!!! Damn!!

    she looks incredible besides!!

  • Love doesn't cover by a wide wide wide margin how I feel about this woman

  • ayfkm......On the Bright side......LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • Hmmmmm.....see what I see?

  • My Aching heart would bleed for YOU to see......

  • annies great man thanks for posting

  • is that dr. phil on keybaords?

  • @radiodead74

    No hun it is not Dr. Phil, This was back in 1995

  • grosaaaa!!!

    

  • this is one of the great singer of 80´s and i will always remember this song.....ever

  • Annie+music=art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • all my life i thought annie lennox wrote this song. this song is a cover of a 1980's band i believe is called " the lover speaks" . Its not a bad song but it annie took it to a higher level. The lyrics are outstanding to this song.......

  • This performance is the absolute best performance ever on Saturday Night Live.

    Pure, delicate and haunting. I remember the night I saw this....couldn't sleep.

  • Love Annie...I'm also loving the background singer a lot!!!

  • Unreal song out of another world.

  • Una de las mejores voces femeninas que he escuchado hasta ahora, gracias por el video!

    One of the best female voices whose i can heard until now, thanks for posting!!

  • Ela é fantástica!!!

  • this is just so....deep i guess. never forgot this performance.

  • Sooooooo MANY MONSTERS! A Melhor parte.

    Annie Lennox, my Diva! I love you

  • IF I EVER MEET THIS WOMAN I AM GONNA JUS SLIT MY THROAT IN FRONT OF HER!!! SHE IS AMAZING!!! LOL BUT IF I WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF HER WHILE SHE WAS PERFORMING THIS SONG I WOULD SHOOT MYSELF IN THE EAR!! I LOVE HER!! LOL

  • @AREIELLEMAC88 crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • @prokoveniko LOL THTS JUS DRY SENSE OF HUMOR ME N MY FRIENDS HAVE!! I WUDNT DO THT SERIOUSLY! HAHAHA

  • i love her voice

  • D.I.V.A.

  • Fabulous....the language is leaving me in silence....

  • los pet shop boys en vez de hacer covers con lady gaga podrian hacer uno con annie lennox, estoy seguro seria algo sorprendente

  • This was a performance. Frightening to watch so much talent all in one person.

    Very gifted.

  • 1st time i heard this, I just found my boyfriend with another woman. I was crushed....totally! But I hung in there, and now I'm with the most wonderful man, he is the love of my life, he owns my heart forever! I love you Bill forever , thank you for coming into my life. When one door closes....another one opens...a better one! Thanks you Sarah

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever performed and sang by the most talented female singer of my lifetime, brings tears to my eyes every time... thankyou

  • favolosa Annie Lennox !!!!!!!

  • Is that G. Gordon Liddy on the keyboards?

  • Her voice in this song <3

  • no matter how many time i leten it whenever and wherever it still makes me cry

    what a huge awesome performance I DO LOVE HER MUSIC ONLY SENSITIVE POPLE CAN APPRECIATE HOW MEANINFUL IT IS

  • so beautiful

    her and this song

    those back up singers are sooo cute

  • Love it! I am in love with this woman. She has been such an inspiration, not only in her music career but in her help and work around the world. Especially with the SING campaign.

  • she has to be one the most kookiest, humble kind hearted female singers out there, amazing voice amazing song she's just pure talent

  • True artist... many of them back in the days.

  • I actually liked the creepy video made for this song. I should have known we'd get one of Annie's live interpretations that would be far better. True divas can't help being what they are.

  • Holy...

    This is the problem with music today. LISTEN TO THIS!

    She sounds just like she does on the album! Nowadays we can't sing without some sort of assistance to the vocalists. Especially the background singers, you'd swear it wasn't live if you weren't seeing it!

  • @Arc13 Annie is singing live here, but the background singers are not - they are lip-synching to a recorded track - that's Annie voice(s) overdubbed on the background voices - she often does this for live performances on TV

  • @tennis219 Even then...

    I prefer to see an artist struggle and fight to hit that impossible note like they did in their song, rather than the song have that one note, and then live they can't seem to even attempt it.

    Annie can do the first thing, what we have today is just a bunch of people that do the latter. Maybe that's why they aren't as famous, because they can't work themselves as hard to hit a few notes higher than usuaL?

  • LMBOOOO .. I LIKE NICKI'S YOUR LOVE BETTER

  • @misterroyaltee AE,im just waiting at the start for nicki to come in lol

  • She sounds like she does on the album. Perfectly. That, is amazing. I remember watching this show and thinking, wow, I wish i was born thirty years earlier, so I could have still not had a chance with her, hehe. Talented, creative and gods damned beautiful as you can get. And I love her little dance she does and the voices for the song. Before this, I had never known that she did those herself, in time with the music. I thought that was a backup singer part or something, but it was all her!

  • Finally, A real video of Annie Lennox, singing her beautiful song of overcoming a sad (psychotic?) state of mind.

  • This is the best live version of this song. I love Annie Lennox!!!!

  • this lady is multi-talented and incredibly beautiful inside and out. We love you Annie!!!!

  • One of the best songs ever. Great performance.

  • Agree with 1967 1903 (and all of the comments I've read on this first page.

    This is her masterpiece.

  • so sick... annie lennox is the bomb

  • @iedaderrico Rapaz...

    Eu acho que este é o diferencial. Ela realmente vive a música dela, a fantasia dela... e consegue passar isto. Eu chego a arrepiar... coisa de louco. Não é coisa deste mundo... ela canta o que realmente sente... é divino !!

  • All in her is beautiful, her eyes, her voice, herself... great song.

  • God was really inspired, when he created the voice of this woman. She has a shockingly talent!

  • Her voice is so pretty it makes me wanna cry.

  • She so beautiful ...her eyes just kill me....And her voice....mmmmmm

  • Totally agree on the eyes...

    Along with her eyebrows, her eyes are one of the most beautiful I've seen

    ah, and of course, the voice, the persona, the artist in her!!

  • @19671903 REALLY IT HAPPENS TO ME TOO IT MAKES ME CRY WHAT A NICE SURPRISE TO FIND OUT SENSITIVE PEOPLE A BIG HUG FROM COLOMBIA

  • Annie has the voice of Heaven's angels.

  • One of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Woooo ahhhhhh.

  • A singularly shockingly amazing talent -- that voice! Clarity, articulation, range, control, emphasis, meter... words... I need more words... truly a spectacular performer ... and she clearly enjoys sharing her talent. Cheers!

  • kdt29!!! hell yeah!! you were right about that...peace guys!!

  • w0w! im stuned with her performance...she's the best performer ever.../no1

  • I'm speechless. She is just so good on so many levels it takes my breath away.

    Gotta make a point of seeing her live before I die.

  • Annie is one of a kind and sexy to boot. That "Love is a Stranger" video is the work of a true chameleon and man, is it ever hot!

  • I love this song!!! =)

  • why dont you fuk off 501chorusecho you rude c**t, theres no need to be sarcastic and 'big' over a computer screen and oh forgive me for making a spelling mistake on youtube..i like annie i just thought she was miming cos this live performance sounds so much different to her others....fukin idiot go and die u mug

  • she is not "miming" here mr. expert.....that is without any question a live vocal.

  • she is miming here though....but still fantastic :)

  • magic

  • a performer is someone who can transmit an emotion through their art, that be singing, dancing, painting or sculturing a piece of rock. This was an amazing performance. :-)

  • I have been watching SNL since 1975, when my sister and I would stay up late and watch it. I have seen a lot of lackluster performances and substandard musical acts on this show. This performance, by far, is one of the best performances that I have EVER seen on SNL by ANY musical guest. She is not high.... she is showing why she brought the word "DIVA" into our lives.

  • Jesus, does everyone have to be high these days?

    Annie moves and performs on stage like she's studied movement and performing arts. Its not really all that strange.

  • she is proffesional and she is great in this song but she is a bit weird

  • Comment removed

  • @MrFaze09

    "proffesional" huh?....maybe your spelling is a bit weird

  • Annie's way too professional to ever perform high. :)

    One of her many amazing talents is the way she always delves into the experience of a song in every live performance, no matter how many times she has already performed it. (Again, I think she's too professional to disrespect her audience by doing it any other way.)

    "No More I Love Yous" is no different. Annie's just being Annie and doing that amazing thing she does. Aren't we lucky to be able to watch? :)

  • I think I understand what you mean about her being high... but NOT, she's just Annie being Annie,.. which by the way is absolutely great!!!

  • @ShaolinViolin ---- Nope . . . just a good performance.

  • wat a voice...!!

  • Annie has a dynamic way of dissociating from one part of the song to another, and also from project to project; the dissociations manifest in different personas.

  • nice i been looking for this performance!!!!

  • I think I can answer that for you. Annie sings all the vocals on, No More I Love You's. The males in the official video are lip syncing to Annie. I am not sure about this performance though, it sounds as if the back up singers may be lip syncing to Annie's live performance.

  • No one uses histrionics as well as Annie Lennox!

  • Oh, you're wellcom. I'm glad to share Annie with her Peeps.

  • thanks for upload this!!! wow!!!! annie is sooooo fantastic!!

  • You are wellcome!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh, yes I remember this from Saturday Night Live. One of my favorite performances of this song. Thanks a lot Peep.

  • You are wellcome, sweet Peep.
