[scseg33]

Lil Kim cant compete with Lauper!

[MrSoulshock4444]

@scseg33 was she trying to? this is called a DUET not a contest

[aranaoreiro94]

@scseg33 Kim is a rapper, Cyndi is a singer.

[bornchozen]

[2308Pascal]

They should release this.

[travisesturm]

[laloRawR2894]

i think she's full of motivation,bitches root snakes dont live that long -Lil Kim

[MrSoulshock4444]

and kim actually pulled off some pretty good notes here. i love that she wants to grow up as an artist. she's an accomplished rapper and lyricist, she's multi talented. she also proved she could dance her ass off on DWTS. go ahead kim!

[MrSoulshock4444]

her voice is shaky because she's nervous as hell: firstly it was the first time she was doing a singing live performance, secondly she had to do this with an accomplished vocalist/legend. i'm pretty sure she sounded hella good at the rehearsal. that being said kim is DA SHIT

[liltree87]

and her time is done lmao dis is STREET? but yaw call da NICKSTER commercial! she sound worst den rihanna!

[gycurtischicago]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! I am a fan.

[damanuluv]

LOL@put your lighters up!!! I LUV IT!!! HAHA nicki will never get a chance like this... u mad nicki stans!!! hate on this too!!! and COPY THAT!!!

[kristik38]

love this song done it at karaoke for over 20 years now

[buttrpecan9]

i like this collabo.

[christopherjpaige]

Crazy combo but I liked it!!

[BoutIt02]

no matter how she sounded she is a hardcore rapper that got the chance to sing with cyndi lauper...only icons get to do shit like that...respect what you have to!!!...Queen B

[LiveRainbow]

freeze frame at :20 it totally looks like diana ross sitting there instead of kim.

[thatsingerjoe]

i think people are forgetting that lil kim is not a singer! she is a rapper! she did very well considering xx

[predator45655]

@thatsingerjoe she a trashy whore who thinks she white or want to be

[Darterri]

@predator45655 STOP H8ING. YOU KNOE DAMN WELL SHE'S GOOD SHE'S PROVING SHE'S AUTHENTIC...AND NOT WHAT SICKI AND CAMP TRY TO MAKE HER OUT TO BE. I LOOOOOOVE REAL TALENT AND REAL PPL

[WayneDaStarTV]

Kim didn't sound the best, but I still love this performance though, because it was a nice crossover. Cyndi ROCKED the "Lighters Up" though. :)

[PEACE63641]

i love u kim S2

[lufffy]

lil kim has a singing voice. she doesnt sound super as cyndi but she can sing. you can hear shes nervous and she knows she isnt that great singer. but hey the best she does is rap and its pretty good for a rapper that sings pretty well. it could be worse, atleast she didnt sing out of tune

[drewkgill1982]

My mother worked with Cindy Lauper's family! My mother was no good though! Lil Kim's people in Florida too. They weren't good people though!  Jadakiss why, bush, yuck, excuse me, they doing me fould still!

[bubblesxxxo]

omg kim sounds shit lmaoo

[jaydiarae]

Lil' Kim sounded pretty bad. Her vocals were real shaky. Just keepin it real.

[perkins0734]

best part 2:38-2:52

[bitragale]

Although Kim didn't have the best vocals, I'm surprised she can actually sing.

[purecorkboy06]

Lil' Kim is brutal singing!

[kiwibelt]

Oh, God....defend her all you like but this is an AWFUL vocal performance by Lil'Kim. Sucked.

[M3devac]

woW! Cyndi was such a gangsta here! Great job for the two of them!

[MiamiChicky]

I think Kim sounds great she just has breathing problems when singing softly but sounded great on the chorus especially at 2:00.

[MrSoulshock4444]

@MiamiChicky i think these breathing problems are due to stress

[masterskywalker73]

Kim ruined this song - Cyndi should have gone solo - LOVED the lighters up rap part Cyndi did. Girls got skillz. Thanks for posting.

[dovail1]

i was shoked i thought she was gonna rap

[RickyFitz]

not sure what to think of this beat along with Time After Time.... doesn't really fit and sounds awkward to me.

[PotOrBust]

I love how they incorporated both songs into it, giving credit to both of them as songwriters. Awesome performance, loved when Cyndi Lauper sings the few verses from Lighters Up at 2:37.

AMAZING

[kennylondon123]

Versatility, an important tool that only a genius possess..Cute ..

[0rnaMusic]

I love this song so much,!!I just posted my version of this song in a mashup with coldplay fix you, check it out and let me know what you think!Thanks xx

[angelahoney1]

what event was this from?

[Funkster228]

Mandela day

[jetgirlcomet]

This song was not in a comfortable range for Lil Kim...she seemed to struggle with it...maybe if they gave her a higher part?

[javarie19]

But ashe still id good..ii love it...its not here style,,but ii nt believe it

[SunShine1732]

OMG this is surprisingly 1 of the best callabo's (spelling ?) I've ever seen!!! They both did very well! I love Kim and Cyndi and performance is AWESOME!! I love how they switched rolls...the way Cyndi busted that rap was amazing!!!

[schwerhoerig]

i like cyndis Rap, sounds cool

[mevrouwtjekoeiman]

wow!

[JCDameano]

Unique. How refreshing to see some artists step out of their own genre, not be perfect but still be so interesting. Impressive.

[chersnumber1]

Lil kim did so well. it seems like a really hard song to do well and i cant even imagine the pressure of doing it with cyndi. they both did brilliant !!

[Justanothertomm]

Cyndi was GREAT rapping. I'd buy her hip hop album.

[bettedavisfan1]

They did the performance so GOOD.

[AustrianWorld]

Great!!!! Love it !!!

[bethtiing]

every1 stop hatin on lil kim's singin voice. she's not a singer and cindi's not a rapper (even though she ROCKED it) :D

[taragh22]

Haha lil' kim is a SHIT SINGER!

[SunShine1732]

@taragh22

Actually I think she sounds pretty good being that singing is not her profession.

[kweli69j]

this is the strangest thing....i like it though

[mulioctaveman]

Is that radio city music hall?

[LiveRainbow]

far away lil kim reminds me of diana ross in that dress

[BeelzabudSF]

lmoa!!! Was that Cyndi Rapping? Awesome.

[gpedraza93]

she sounds just about as good as ashanti

[mulioctaveman]

have u heard Ashanti lately?

[gpedraza93]

no.

[mulioctaveman]

The sun-like proscenium lead me to think that. It kinda looked like that when I was there.

[twanbiz2]

she actually sounds good now

[likemic05]

Very heartwarming. Beautiful.

[M3devac]

Lil Kim sings pretty decent for a rapper. She's no Lauren Hill, but at least the bitch doesn't lip-sync like Britney Spears have been doing her whole career.

Oh, and Cyndi can totally be a thug rapper if she wanted to. She's awesome!

[mtvbillboard]

cyndi its so talent!

[Kroelf]

absolut überzeugende Vorstellung..... thumbs up

[babygurl9128]

that went alot better than i expected upon clicking on this clip lol

[cxyqco]

that's why lil kim isn't a.... singer as that, she's a hip hop performer, n cindy she's yet a singer one, whatever the duet its absolutely amazing an emotive!!! anyway both are great!!!! and no one can say they're not!!!!!!!!!!

[buchanan590]

wait are the people saying this is good actually serious? haha i love lil kim but she is an absolutely horrible singer

[belizeanboy1]

That's because she's not a singer smart guy.

[whatsmy411]

kim singin and cyndi rapping lmao, it was ammazing!!!

[papliunmillon]

grande cindy!!!!!!!

[starsiaeve]

Lil Kim can't really sing. She's not even comparable to Cindy.

[justmeandmydogs]

you have to admit that this was a beautiful duet no? so raw so real. tugs at the heartstrings

[MoonTheDeadlockWolf]

Wow kim sounds great while just singing, and cyndi's parts were really good, nice combo

[cerclerouge]

kim was so nervous but rocked it.

[TCutie]

@cerclerouge I know she was very very nervous lol... love Cyndi and Kim

[1kingmoney1]

its always sum hater BITCH WE KNW KIMM AINT NO SINGER BUT FOR A RAPPER DA QUEEN DID NICE FUCK U MEAN KEEP KILLING DIS BITCHES QB

[zakura12]

o.0 omg, i never knew cyndi can rap, and she was awesome!!~

[chersnumber1]

Whoa lol like the song....ne way i loved it so much ! shud be released

[adam15ND]

kim started out rocky, i was so embarrassed for her but she turned it around and really impressed me! i can't stop watching this.

[momills1]

i loved it!

[MrSoulshock4444]

i dont know if someone noticed its kim who takes the higher part on the chorus

[tazzy775705]

@MrSoulshock4444 yeah i know she sounds good singing high

[blacksberrys1]

WOW!! Kim is da shit! She's a brave girl to do this.. she started shaky and nervous but she got better. Go on bad gyal!! Love you KIM!

[BaileyDolceTM]

lil kim did an amazing job they were both great and we got to see a a nother side of both of them

[souniio]

lil kim was brave to do this, but cyndi lauper just blew her away

[peeples38]

well kim isnt a singer so ofcourse cyndi did better but damn kim was gettin it

[cjcuz37]

cyndi killed dat dam rapping though lol

[PutYourLightersUp13]

I'm impressed with Lil Kim's singing voice and Cyndi Lauper's rapping. That was a great performance.

[MrSoulshock4444]

kim was nervous, that's why she had problems to breathe at the beggining. im sure she did better at the rehearsal. but still she hit some pretty good notes. she just needs a little more work

[shaneele]

LOOOOL

lil kim was SOOO nervous wen she was singin'

nd cyndi was sooo good !

[hangshimkim]

She looks beautiful, Lil' Kim, is that Tracy Chapman?

[AntiCrackerLiberals]

lil kim's singing is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it reel

vocal therapy prolly still won't help for her singing

just rhyme, that's it

[brenden718]

I love dat rap skit in da middle dat shit was hott...I adore Kim and Cindy Lauper! I think Kim was trying to immitate Cindy's voice exactly...datz why she sounded so off but I think she has the potential to sing...

[zayzay92]

cyndi murdered that rap shit

[alligaytor]

cyndi did not murder the rap. she fuckin DID IT!!

[zayzay92]

murder = extremely well she rapped very well for a 80s singer

[alligaytor]

thanks for the school.......my bad

[xThisIsNotHappeningx]

At 0:59 Cyndi looked over at Lil Kim -- the look in her eyes was almost like, 'Bitch you are butchering my song!'

[cuteally1]

She was nervous okay !

[atomicPipe]

As if, get a fucking life! Some of ya'll just love to reeeeeach!!

[hangshimkim]

ROFLMAO

[DwaynasFallenAngel]

Damn Lil Kim.. no offense but stick to the stuff you know lol

[opachucho]

CYNDI THE BEST.......THE QUEEN......I LOVE CYN......... eres la mejor artista del mundo CYNDI LAUPER......sin lugar a dudas la mejor....no dejas de sorprender al mundo.....TE AMO CYNDI

[genie121]

OWCH lil kim! perhapes stick to rapping.

[isborn7]

lol! sounds like CrossCut316 is very upset! lmfao, sounds like you need a good therapist. whites have been trying to be black for years, i personally think its all to the good tho. anyway take 2 of these (middle fingers) and comment on me in the morning! LMAO!

[whitetailhunta]

as i fan all music, i say this was not bad at all. and could be a hit song.

[WhoIzDeejayYoung]

omg I love the eclectic mix...what a great idea. Two great artists. Ok! nice, why did I miss this. Go ahead Cindi! yassss! lol

[Miguelito203]

I that that if Kim sticks with it, she will no doubt improve over time..just like she did on Dancing with the Stars, which she should have won. She is an awesome dancer. After she gets the singing thing down, I bet she could go into acting.

[LocaDiff]

Lil Kim doesn't "gotta be able to" sing.... again, that's Queen B. both of them (Cyndi and "B") are awesome in the video.

[shanae7]

cyndi killed it!!!!!!

[alimajbabygirl]

i thought lil kim could sing... ;-(

[jrxande2]

I really enjoyed!!!

[dancewitmi]

I guess with more and more practice she will become a better singer. She couldn't sing anyway, but is obvious she been taking singing lessons, but it isn't good enough yet. but she tried and did well, would had most likely been better if she wasn't so nervous. At times she hit it.

But was an awkard perfomance over all, for me!

[CrazyworldFab]

cyndi Lauper showes us again, she is the Only one , love her :)

[TakoKaribian]

lil kim is totally shit house in this fuck she must have lost her nerve or somerthin' next to cindi hahhhhhhh

[rainbowchucks7]

What a unique mix....I am actually impressed. I really enjoyed it A LOT. ;-)

Cyn looks so cute when she is rapping.

[bajankim]

lil kim cant sign this type of music but good try

[atomicPipe]

lil' kim isn't a SINGER, she's a RAPPER. Considering that I think she did pretty amazing.

[pboss09]

come on lil kim.. YOU CAN DO IT!!

[DieuSait73]

I got faith in you kim...Keep working @ it

[Ursugarspice]

Cyndi you're an amazing....talent and humanitarian....my daughter was 6 in 1984 when she was battling a brain tumor and you were her hero....your song "Girls just wanna have fun" kept her fighting...and she made it....you were her inspiration...rock on......

[Ursugarspice]

The style and tempo of the song is not Kim's thing what was more meaningful is the tribute and the message it brings...interesting the criticism on here...don't f....king listen.

[michaelcleare]

come on lil kim i know u can do it , keep on doing it u will get better

[Cherbette]

Cyndi is both a better rapper and a better singer as proven by this video. Lil Kim sounded weak as hell...and Cyndi even gave her a run for her money rapping. Lil Kim sounds weak rapping/singing period. Stick to dancing Lil Kim.

[Chumpster1981]

Cyndy is always a cute one. Shes straight on it, no media whore there. Lil Kim.. Love your dirty rap shit... Kinda think she should stick to it.. but this was good though.

[kgurlballin]

Lil Kim was nervous, but pulled through..she never gave up..She is versatile and deserves more respect :)

[d0p3boifur3sh]

u knoe wat i luv kim and she did pretty good 4 not beein a natural singer but she did pretty good

[kilroyrichard]

oh god this is so HORRIFIC! lil kim needs to be put in a field and shot, everything she did after her first two albums is total turd, and she looks a mess. Trust shit like this to go on a simon cowell show

[slowdayz87]

Wow Kim still working with legends.

Her singing was different but cool. lol @ Lighterz Up Cyndi so gangsta! lol

[jonsalvator]

What's with this American Idol idiocy comparing Cyndi and Kim? The show is stupid run by a c*nt called Simon with no talent and that type of critique is completely tedious. Both are Brooklyn greats and so are the songs. Kim's from Bedford Stuyvesant & Cyndi's from Bensonhurst. Practically the same thing in the scheme of the world. The performance was great in whole. Get over it.

[bossofthenight]

2 of Brooklyns best girls. Holla if u agree.

[jordanaguon1]

lil kim sucks big ass!!

LOVE YOU CYNDI LAUPER!!

[mtvbillboard]

Cyndi Lauper Its really talent , lil kim dont doit great but Cyndi save the preformance

[kyleknndy78911]

Cydney Killed That shit and she did better on lil kims song than kim did Lil kim is Bugging she need 2 stop

[CityOnilne]

CYNDI THE BEST !!!

[dskennie]

RANDOMEST DUET EVER!!!! but i lyke the lil' interpolation of "Put Ur Lighterz Up" she figured singing wasn't for her halfway through the song so she began to do what she doez best....rap

[preeminencia21]

I love cindy lauper, she always gets my props, lil kim is the shit even though we see some sort of confusion with the changes in her image, this puts a shadow on the fact that she is not afraid to step out of her boundaries, touch diverse culture's and combine with her own.

[mrscbbridges]

I dont care wat nobody say Kim & Cindy killed it Kim can carry & tune but when Cindy got off on ya'll with da lyrics 4rm Lighters Up that was crazy...check out her face...Listen 2 Cindy say she 4rm BedStuy in the end

[bossofthenight]

Cyndi from Brooklyn too yo. Close enough.

[upclose22]

Lil Lim & Cindy Lauper's performance was definitely a special one, heart and and soul. Loved it! Kim has a beautiful voice!-Loved seeing Cinty Lauper perform again!

[Booniedadsgb]

Nope.

[mtvbillboard]

cyndi lauper its so talent

[Vandalyzm]

This shit is a big bowl of fail.

-Majorz

[duciemcfly]

It was a brilliant concept that was executed nicely. It wasn't a dope performance but I got it! Big ups to them both for doin that for Nelson Mandela!

[vafu4ever]

kim may have done not up to par but it was a good concept so overall it was okay

[ryanmarmaduke]

wow, i actually thought that was soo good!

[DieBlondeBiatch]

I love them together, lil kim was good maybe not the best but i love her singing voice. Rock on Queen Bee

[cometome356]

i dont know wy

but this made me smile so much

[brooklynfinest08]

ok it was different i kinda like it
