  • I've been looking for this for years. I loved her response.

  • he gets paid millions of dollars to be funny.maybe it was funny,maybe it wasn't,but he has to say something.these are artist in drag on stage in the mid 90's.they're put up there to get some kind of reaction???wtf.and then annie has an attitude when a comment is made(a very light one at that)annie>dave, but stfu

  • The guy is stupid....

  • I LOVE Annie's response to Letterman, she's totally not impressed! 

  • haha i love this. she's awesome and hell i even liked the drag queens hahah :)

  • This woman is a true artist! Not just her beautiful voice, but she can do a David Letterman show and show him to be the asshole he is, without him even realizing it. Kudos to Annie!!!

    wish i could do that with such classy "execution"

  • Those miming backing singers are fabbbb!

  • Such an amazing song.

  • Quisiera ver a algunos reguetoneros tratando de cantar en vivo con la afinacion de annie Lennox. Imposible!

  • @Saldivia eso seria bueno y un buen mix saliera bueno con Zion y Lennox o wisin y yandel

  • greatest Hits.......

  • so emotional

  • please see the original version by "the lover speaks" pisses all over annie's awfull vocals...

  • QUE BONITO CANTA PERO QUE PINCHE FEA ESTA!!!!!!!

  • @TheMotonauta1 no es fea, busca videos de cuando era joven, o su video "Why" donde con poco o nada de maquillaje se ve perfecta, lo que pasa es que es de arreglos raro y extravagante

  • awesome great voice she is amazing xd the number 1 of the world

  • mickey mouse ears....

    shes brainwashed by illiminati :( too bad

  • She feels the music, and digs it the most. I don't know.

  • its GREAT! from Georgia :))

  • She is a class act all of the way! This kind of professionalism is lost in this Nonsense music scene we call pop for the past 20 years and then some.

    Art is the goal not money. That is secondary, to any true performer. What a shame.

    Does anybody even know what real music is anymore?

  • @brwnhornet59 It's everywhere but you have to look in the right places.... Although, sadly there are no mor Annies!

  • Love those Mouse EARSSSSS!!!

  • one of the most unique voice in the world of music

  • @dynocrack one of the most unique voices in the world of music.

  • one of the most unique voices in the world of music

  • much better than the whiny nasal original

  • hey! look everybody, its mickey minaj!

  • @miszkendra01 LMAO

  • She reminds me of Carol Burnett

  • I AGREE SHE´S THE BEST ONE AWESOME............I LOVE IT

  • the duoswhose humming is amazing... goes very well with ANNE LENNOX S ,theway we three used to watch it....those times......but the original video was best not to miss....

  • never quite understood annie's fascination with mickey mouse ears.

  • I have not thought about this song in years until tonight....my beau

    I have no more i love u's for him....

  • I am going to remix tisinto trance with great respect....period

  • fantastica!

  • OMG! SHE SINGS GOOD ALSO IN LIVE!!!!!!!I LIKE ANNIE LENOX! I LIKE ALSO THE BACK UP SINGERS!

  • Es ist absolut genial. Annie verascht Amerika! Kommt im Mickey Mouse Kostüm und die Backround sanger(inen) sind Männer******* Absolut Geil*****lach schlapp. Eine Katastrophe für das prüde Amerika.....

  • simply the best...

    english...the best...for ever.

  • @SOLONOSTICO1 _ She's Scottish.

  • You want to talk about a true gay icon. There she is. Singing from the heart, taking men in drag very seriously, she even scoffed at Letterman's joke. I think what, for me, makes her a gay icon, has nothing to do with the gay issue, it has far more to do with the fact that she is a loving, accepting, moral person. And an example for most people, I think, of how to live well.

  • Looks like being on the Letterman Show was a real drag for Annie.

  • gay icon .... madam annie lennox! love from manila.ph

  • hahaha her backup singers are drag queens.

  • one of a kind gorgeous woman, artist, and totaly unique voice. love annie.

  • The best thing to come out of Scotland since.Deborah Kerr....

  • interview? where?

  • damn those backing vocalists are awesome.

  • This is ehere Nicki got your love from

  • Her rendition of this song is so classic, and her voice is so beautiful it gives me chills! And I love the backing vocalists in drag!

  • @Undermedveten Good Shout!

    Somewhere is the world Lady Gaga has just killed herself.

    Mickey Mouse Ears, Drag Artists as support! And WAY back in the 80's she was f*cking about with gender bending! It's all been done Gaga!

  • best, loved her so much when she was doing the live performance at the Dolce&Gabbana SS2011 show !!!!!

  • FROSTY.

  • she iis gorgeous! I do not think another Lennox like could penetrate the industry

  • i love her back singers super damn gay hehehe

  • wow... what a live performance! at it is at a tv show studio! one of the greatest talents... just gotta love Annie Lennox.

  • mmm nice

  • Great voice, move over Niki Minaj, you not ready yet....

  • @5511spider Nicki Isn't a singer, and only someone with the makings of a true artist would go back to the REAL artists, don't you think?

  • The Goddess and The Jerk.... and the greatest Background Singers I've ever seen... :-) I once saw a Eurythmics concert in Frankfurt, when they were just starting to be big here ( = when "Touch" came out). To this day, that was the greatest live performance I have EVER seen! As the last encore, Annie sang an accapella version of "Sweet Dreams"...even the concrete walls had goose bumps!

  • GREAT SONG! How bout the 2 dudes in the black dresses singing back up vocals[are they twins] lol...who knew!?

  • Annie doesn't seem to impress with Letterman rather turned off it seems.

  • great song, great performer, :)

  • I blast this shit so loud it makes my butt warts pop

  • shes the real deal. Can you honestly think of many vocalists who can sing live with such range and control?

  • Pa'que

  • Letterman is sitting next to one of the most talented artist of the UK and the only thing he can come up is with an homophobic joke?!?

    How can he be such an idiot?

    Annie reaction was perfect!, she is a true Diva.

  • @montotosk I so completely agree with you...just turning and going "hmm..." fantastic

  • i love this song reminds me of burdyy :D xx

  • That's where Nicki Minaj get her Song Your Love from ok lol

  • She seems pretty pissed with Letterman.

  • Immmppprreeessiiiooonnaannnntt­teeee

  • She looks like Mickey Mouse :-D

  • thanks so much for posting... having never seen this before it has made my day!!!

  • Sublime...

  • Comment removed

  • This performance is stunning.

  • very good performance

  • sublime the end full stop.

  • Amo esta música!

  • she seems egocentric when performing..but the bottomline is SHE"S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!

  • I agree she's the best. Thanks for your comment.

    If you watch the original music video for this song, you'll see she is performing the Tolouse Le Trec -like animated

    subject of a painting. Her bravura is only an homage with some irony thrown in.

  • @jeromekogure03 I prefer to call it a "Theatrical Presence". And that's why we love her - aside from her AMAZING heavenly horn of a voice

  • @jeromekogure03: How so? It's called not giving a crap and feeling the music hahaha! Egocentric...hmmmph! XD!

  • @jeromekogure03 Crap comment...PURE ART! Be Nice Please! Thx! LoveUGodBless, T and J KABBALAH MATTHEWSHEPARD MADONNALICIOUS

  • @jeromekogure03 I think the theatricality was part of the Diva album - she seems to adopt a character that goes with a particular album and then moves on to the next.

  • there is only a very very small group of female singers in this planet that deserve to be recognize as DIVA an you are the number one in this list. SALUDOS FROM TIJUANA MEXICO

  • Annie Lennox is so awesome, and boy did she look pissed at the end.

    From :44 - 1:24 reminds me of "Just for Now" by Imogen Heap. In fact, Annie Lennox is one of Imogen Heap's influences. :)

  • Beautiful voice and a beautiful looking women. She is amazing.

  • What an idiot: Cheap & witless. Annie, great and dignified as always.

  • Love her....think the back up girls might be guys...love it!

  • i like how this guy plays the bass!

  • Annie sounds GREAT doing Dave Letter.........Luv her sound ...its PERFECT !!!!

  • is that snake skin jacket a symbol of her individuality? line from wild at heart. great singer, great song. nice jacket too.

  • oh my i had to laugh, i've never seen annie look peeved in an interview but when he passes his comment, she look more then unimpressed and makes no bones about it HAHAHAHA good for you annie!!!

  • ANNIE You're the BEST

  • Nobody.....NO-BOD-EE...Does it like Annie Lennox does!!

  • one of the best performances...i love it how she gives him an attitude at the end for not feeling well

  • What a Tallent...

  • Anne didnt look to happy with dave at the end of this clip!

  • that's because of the comment dave did on her backup singers, and, since Annie is an active defender of civil rights (including for the gay community) she wasn't amused by himMy guess is that that they cut this segment short because the people behind cameras must have noticed Annie's reaction hohoh

  • SAY WHAT YOU SAY THIS WOMAN is among the best VOICES OF THE WORLD. It's great

  • I remember this song!!!!!!!!!!!

  • eternal singer. an angel singing for us. Love

  • And watz with the ears, Annie?

    Great, as always.

  • she´s the one singin' this beautiful song!!!

  • My god can she sing

  • she's such a fuckin legend. good scottish lassie.

  • Annie, you are the GREAT SINGER!

  • hang on wtf are those backing vocalists blokes?

  • Yes. In keeping with the joke in the video for this song

  • Well, the backing vocalists are just miming. It's part of Annie's regular practice of having fun with her performances. :D So they can be dudes she wants to.

    It's cool how she's using in ear monitors years before other people were using them for TV performances.

  • I heard this on the radio the other day in N.Ireland.... So glad it brought me back again.... xxx

  • haha, she hates letterman. Claudia read her right, annie is all " A tranny joke. How original."

  • I just love the "mouse ears" looking heard wear she has. Makes me smile everytime I see her in them. She is a great talent and this is a beautiful song. Thank you for posting this.

  • Annie Lennox is amazing!! love the way she gives Letterman a dirty look (or looks away) after he cuts to a commerical break; he should have been thrilled to have someone of Annie's talent on his show.!!

  • I think she gave him that look because of his comments about men in drag. Annie is a HUGE human rights supporter and has for many years spoken out in support of gay people/transexuals/transgender­s as well as others. Annie is a true human rights supporter - she helps all - not just the latest fashionable causes like other so-called human rights supporters !

  • I love Annies music, always have, always will. Kudo's for her sticking up for human rights. If men want to dress like women, great. If women want to dress like men, fantastic. Personally, I like to walk around with panties on my head and I hate all the evil looks I get when doing so. Keep up the good work, Annie!

  • astonishing performance! and live! wow, no question, THE BEST.

    And I absolutely agree on the LOOKS (more like it) that she gave to that self-proclaimed funny host. I bet they told him on the earphone to cut to commercials because he clearly upset Annie.

    I soo like her, she is a nice person and I'd be very very glad to meet her. She seems so polite and educated.

    GOOD FOR HER and everything she does

  • Not many know that Annie had a lot of 'classical' upbringing. If you notice, a lot of her music is 'theater' and she also did a number of songs that cryptly put down the 'modern' theater of today. Also if you study history, many or most 'female' parts in the theater long ago were traditionally performed by 'men'...Annie is a smart lady and knows what she is doing...

  • Annie attended the prestigious Victoria College of Music in London. There she studied piano and flute but hated her life there so much that she dropped out just before her final exams. She said the college stifled any creativity people may have.

  • since when latterman's show is in London?

    it's New York darling..

  • oops i just saw the end of the clip.. it is in london

  • bellissime le coriste

  • Easily my favorite cover version of all time !

    I love it when Annie does a TV appearance. She doesn't just stand and sing - she plays the part. ALWAYS a great performance.

    David seems terrified of her Annie ! Lol.

    Not sure why Annie didn't like the comment about the backing singers - she is usually good fun but I guess she was thinking she needed to show support for real transvestites.

  • simply wonderful

  • She's awesome.

  • hey guys, shut the fuck up, the fact is annie lennox is a legendary singer, timeless

  • Methinks when you can sing like that you can wear whatever the hell you like!

  • mickey mouse?

  • Why would she be upset about the comment made?

  • Because she's a self-important artist that thinks tolerance is a one-way street -- i.e. if she dislikes it, then you better fucking watch out.

  • HAHAAHHAHAHAHA she was soo pissed off at his remark about the chicks looking like dudes, thats so funny!

  • The voice. The artistry. The courage. She is simply brillant. LOL at her response to Dave's ignorance. She rolls her eyes, sucks her teeth, raises her eyebrows and then rolls her eyes again as she turns away from him. Classic! BTW - does anyone know the significance behind the minnie/mickey mouse ears that she wore frequently during this period of time? Thanks in advance.

  • cool song..

  • they are good at live! this song is beutiful

  • i love the two drag queen backup singers!! LOL Right on, Annie! I love her and this song sooo much!!!

  • Annie wasn,t too happy with that interview, was she? Letterman's a moron!LOL.

  • There was so little to it, who could tell?

    Really, she seemed pissed at his joke about the band members.

    It's rather ridiculous to be upset or sensitive to comments about androgyny when you're looking to make that selfsame issue, and all the sub-issues and movements embedded and applying (the theater, its history, through to the cultural mores of intolerance on gender that shift in ironic ways within and without), the centerpiece of a single or your art in a given moment.

  • Uhhh...what?

    Just having fun, of course, No really, huh?

  • What's the piece about? What's her point?

    That's my point.

    It's always funny when people are fans but too dim to know what they're actually supporting.

  • Is it so hard to be nice? The world could use fewer intellectual snobs who jump to negative assumptions about strangers. I had my own thoughts on what the ears represented, but was wondering if anybody happened to read or hear her thoughts on it! Jeesh.

  • This was one of the greatest bands existing during this time of experimentation with styles -- the punk rock era really expanded stylistic presentations, an era rich in self expression. Look at Cyndi Lauper-- no one would have thought twice had she stuffed plastic brocoli in her hair. Annie is so beautifully theatrical and emotive-- "no more I love you's" brings me to tears. what a privilege it is to see her, even on YT. I really do think that the "ears hair" was a stylistic choice of the times.

  • i so agree, something about this song that makes you kind of weepy.

  • Are you insane or retarded? So far as I know, I was never typing at you or responding to whatever dimbulbed tripe you focused your pea-brain on.

  • "The world could use fewer intellectual snobs who jump to negative assumptions about strangers."

    And yet, your point is what? Oh, right. That if you don't like it, it shouldn't exist.

    What could be more elitist than that?

    Ironically delivered in the most uncouth and underthought manner possible.

    You also, OMG!, jumped to a negative (and false) conclusion about me based off your own self-importance and obsession.

    Bravo.

  • shes so cool¡¡¡

  • Great, Annie......

    Great performance and very artistic.

  • How is this a "London" TV Performance? :(

  • That particular talk show was filming in London that particular week...they built a replica set across the pond.

  • Letterman is SO stupid! Looks like Annie Lennox didn't have a happy face on at 4:40 and when he said we have to pause for commercials. . .

  • And you know what, mummy? The monsters are CRAZY! :-D

  • The singers remind me of Farinelli, il CASTRATO

  • This song goes out to:

    Bill Morad

    Tom Murray

    George Malave

    Frank Jaskolka
