Pat Benatar - I Need A Lover

[cageomatic777]

This version is classic Pat. As someone who saw Pat in concert 2x this summmer... her voice has changed A LOT. Spyder still the same OFC. This was vintage Pat.

[mkl62]

1-10-2012. Isn't it fine, isn't it fine? Pat is 59. Happy Birthday, PB. To Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, etc., this is how it's done.

[MisterJokerToker]

Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Boy George and Queen have ALL done something YOU never will.....they have sold MILLIONS of albums. How about (YOU) TRY to sell just one....we'll wait!

[cageomatic777]

@MisterJokerToker

ORLY?

During the 1980s, Benatar had two RIAA-certified Multi-Platinum albums, five RIAA-certified Platinum albums, three RIAA-certified Gold albums and 19 Top 40 singles,

[fkutwo]

this chick could sing the pants off anybody!!!

[doable1]

Awe Pat baby,...you are the best

[Manito275]

Damn she's hot!!!

[the124Lscania]

fuck the youtube ads

[margaritaESP2007]

I need this type of lover too. They're hard to come by. Lol

[woowoo1967]

That girl is just mega fine...

[clipperfan90]

wow go pat circa 1979 rockin this classic when music  was music now john cougers version was great also.lets just say they both are classic timeless hits that will be around when we are all gone 50 years from now well depending on how old you are, but pat belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame thumbs up if you agree

[welcomehomeHD]

This versions good, but i like John Mellencamps better

[comanche142]

NICE!

[rotorblade709]

pat has the most powerful voice in music, she can put all the other female singers to shame, madonna - crap

[joshuacmarr]

It just doesn't have the sound the original by John Mellencamp had. Love Pat, though.

[woowoo1967]

@joshuacmarr  I agree JCM's is better but Pat does it justice....

[RamAirBandit]

I agree with you all Pat kicks butt....and the 4 women of rock should be 5 You forgot Chrissy Hyde of the Pretenders.

[trip189n]

@RamAirBandit And Lita Ford should be 6

[71farhan]

Only 4 Women Rock Artists

1 Pat Benatar

2 Stive Nicks

3 Joan Jett

4 Patty Symth

[innamorata40]

@71farhan - so agree with Benatar, but..... Ann Wilson for reasons

Pat Benatar

Ann Wilson

Grace Slick

Stevie Nicks

Joan Jett

and the bottom feeders!

[innamorata40]

@innamorata40 I forgot Chrissie Hynde!!!!

[hustlemuscle1]

I agree with most of that but I beg to differ with you on the beyonce thing.Pat argueably shares the rock crown with ann wilson but to compare beyonce with her to me is like comparing freddy mercury with marvin gaye.two completey different music styles.and with all due respect brittney is nowhere even in the same ballpark as such an amazingly skilled singer as beyonce.whether one digs her music or not her skill and passion are undeniable.on another note,pink invincible remake.Hear what I hear?

[lokye40]

THE QUEEN OF ROCK

[RayenMalal]

@lokye40 ¡¡¡Definitivamente...♥!!!

[StephStance]

She still kicks it

[flxdcatbruce]

If anyone ever doubts that Pat Benitar does'nt have it all has not seen this video! This is the best PB video I have ever seen, thank you

[skidnapper]

i bet she's still sexy as hell.

[tacomonster98]

I always thought it woulda been cool if her an Joan Jett did a duo

[flxdcatbruce]

@tacomonster98 Pat and Joan together would be incredible, their voices would blend together and compliment each others style perfectly. Nice thought.

[tender128]

Im reading her book right now and its phenom! I defintely reccommend

[2tromProductions]

O MG I've been listening toPat Benetar since i was like 11 and now I'm 45..... she is awesome and she brings me back to my youth. I totally agree she needs to be in Rock N Roll hall of Fame. Pat u Rock!!!!!

[PeteTownshendFanatic]

@2tromProductions - I've been listening to her since I was 10 and now I'm 45 as well! I still remember when my best friend's older brother played her music for us. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was astounded by how great she was.

[gizmo2371]

I have to say that Pat benatar is ONE VERY HOT WOMAN. I remember being at one of her concerts and accidently found myself backstage. I used to have a shirt she autographed inscribed DAN- Rock on and remember we are youn. Stay coolsigned Pat Benatar. Just playing these videos reminds me how awesome the 80's really were.

[gizmo2371]

I have to say that Pat benatar is ONE VERY HOT WOMAN. I remember being at one of her concerts and accidently found myself backstage. I used to have a shirt she autographed inscribed DAN- Rock on and remember we are young. Stay coolsigned Pat Benatar.

[bunkhouse]

Love Pat Benatar, but I do like Mellencamp's version much better.

[lucasmellencamp]

@bunkhouse I Agree

[rocknrollrobinson]

What a SMOKIN" hot, sexy, talented lady!!!!

[deadenear]

How great the eightees were.

[arnoudgitaar]

Ever since so impressed with this "rasp" (do not know the right English expression) in her voice. In Dutch we call this "the grain on her vocal cords". Great preformer.

Thanks Patrice (and Neil) for all your songs.

[kiddd10000]

fuck madona, faggy gaga, and all the rest of these bitches of today's music can't compare to pat, she rocks, damn pat should been to the rock n roll hall of fame before that slut madona today's music sluts can't sing shit

[riverlioness]

@kiddd10000

Fuck the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame. Pat Benatar is probably too cool to suck board member pricks. The fans know the truth. It's part of that political correctness shit...like calling Lady Caca talent impaired.Nobody can outshine anyone else, cause they might cause losers to break down and cry on the Oprah show. Boo hoo, everyone abandoned my plaque and rushed over to Pat Benatar. Evolution is so unfair.

[yieldyieldyield]

@riverlioness here, here!

[robbjmc]

@riverlioness Pat's actually said that she likes Lady Gaga.

[ladymesc1]

@riverlioness Ooooww! Lady Caca. Love it! Pat wasn't one of those "see how cute and pretty I am?" women. Great, husky voice, great presence, great performer...she had it all. Love to see her and Joan Jett on stage together. Hell, I'd love to see them anywhere together!

[210acer]

much better than john mellencamp

[dlguitar75]

she's absolutely amazing!!! and neil is an outstanding guitar player.  They were made for each other lol

[MusicalMagicProducer]

Pat and Neil are one of the best couples in Rock, and he doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing. And she is the Queen of Rock, IMO! :)

[guyluvsbeauty]

SHE IS FIERCE! SHE IS SEXY! SHE IS A ROCK GODDESS AND LEGEND!

[rotorblademan]

pat sure has one powerful voices and she's such a babe too

[penrose964]

LOVE IT.

[soundofmadness11]

i think only rockers should be in the rock n roll hall of fame, thats why theres a rock n roll genre, why classify every genre in rock, makes no sense.

[annachestnut]

She is a miracle. Lovely! Perfection! Talent!

[basmikiemike]

eat your heart out all you dumb bimbo's THISIS A LADY WHO CAN PERFORM LIVE!!!!!!!!

[trip189n]

She puts attitude into this song,something John cougar couldnt.

[JaracaraAsper]

Notice you never hear her version of this song on the radio. Always Mellencamps slow draggy version. PB just belts it out!

[sophiejune]

I get to Pat and REO in July and I can't wait

[theguard84]

@sophiejune

Got to see the concert in KC- Starlight ... Pat rocked out 13 or 14 in a row and the crowd was on their feet most of the show. She even gave us a special treat with "If you think you know how to love me" from the first album (In the Heat of the Night). TREMENDOUS SHOW !!! She can rock like NO other.

[sophiejune]

@theguard84 yes, I was at Starlight in row 18 it was great. I went to the book signing earlier in the day too. I had a great day. I got a couple of good pics too. The best show I have been to in a while.

[detbrkdwn]

Fuck the GEICO commercial!

[tcs709]

Many thanks for this good single. Respects.

Doc, TCS-709 Station (France State)

[hanleyfallsmn56245]

You Betcha!

[broadcastappliance]

Benatar has so much poise. The way she tilts her head back, totally fearless. And this is a big house she's playing in front of. She just kills this song.

[fredfinizzi]

She is barely 5 feet tall and tiny but her voice is insanely powerful. I was a kid when this was made so I went thru childhood and teens (early teens) and I still know every word to all the songs of that time period. Cheap Trick, REO,April Whine,the eagles,asia,acdc,blondie,chris­topher cross, lover boy...and so on..it was more about the music and less about the look or image....where are all the real bands at today.. Rap..hip hop..techno.....talent and ability mean nothing now....

[ole9421]

@fredfinizzi I'll probably catch a lot of flack for this but, most of the talentless crap out there these day took their cue from the likes of KISS. For many, many years during live perfomances KISS sounded like crap. But they had quite the stage show that kept most of the audience distracted.

[annachestnut]

beauty and talent. can carry off the lyotard look.

[bruho5]

I Love her even though I am a Stevie Junkie Pat is still a Tour De Force..Love her. Timmy Brandt.

[ikliefthardcore]

I adore this song. It's so lovely!....

Can't get it out of my head! (and I don't want to)

No one is as good as Pat Benatar. <3

[jferkfjkj]

i despise john mellencamp, but i adore pat benatar. this song goes either way for me

[letiziaytito]

no singer today can stand next this woman!beyonce brittney shakira and the so called country singer of the year?dont remember her name...none of these lightwieght goat sounding singers can even stand in the front row when it comes to PB!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@letiziaytito Amen!

[Mas8baller]

@letiziaytito You dont get out much do you? Mommy & daddy still keeping you at home little boy? Grow up & maybe you'll not only get really taste in music but women too. You probably like Duran Duran Tears for fears Boy George & Queen too. I hear Liberace's looking for a come back boy toy.

[shempbatt]

@Mas8baller Woah, what's up with the knock on Queen, They fuckin rock, the rest are douches though!

[tattooyou18]

@letiziaytito idk, the singer from the donnas isn't to bad

[MagnusTheSnake]

I think John's version is better, but I still love this one. Pat makes this song sexy!

[hrtfulofluv]

she is really a great singer her songs have meaning....I really like her

[paullafort]

i need pat benatar as a lover

[josephjuhasz]

My first exposure to John "Cougar". Lifetime addict. Very rare to versions of same song can be so great!

[DianaBoston]

Now THAT is a voice. My entire childhood and adolescence was FILLED with every Pat Benatar album and single she ever did.

[vakeromty]

in your face!!!!!!!!!!! what a voice that´s rock

powerful version...hats off geraldo!!!

[BaFlaBooey]

John's version is good. Pat's version is better and bonus ...... She's HOT

I wish this would get played on the radio. The only one I hear anymore is Hit me with your best shot.

[Vortigern99]

Wow, I've never seen or heard her version, this is incredible. I like John's version too, but this one rocks.

[MRGXX64]

Pat Benatar should have been in the Rock N Roll Of Fame way before Madonna !!! Pat Benatar is an icon !!!!

[maxrobinson]

Madonna should not be in the Rock'n'Roll of Fame.

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@MRGXX64 You Ain't LYING WHATTA DAMN SHAME!!! Pat Benatar was ROBBED!

[Skaternick911]

@MRGXX64 Pat is a fuckin poser. Her music is shit.

[kronlof2]

Saw her last week and she still does this one live, very good too.

[ninernuttt]

John "Cougar" Mellencamp penned this song in 1977 as I recall, so I would guess that he sang it first....just a guess....

[saxysai]

I believe he did. I can't decide if I like is version or her version better. They're both great.

[Siege1k]

He did in fact write it and get song credits on her fisrt album .. she however recorded his song first.

[twoaxis88]

who sang this first? john cougar or her?

[robi2000]

Love the way Pat shows up straight from ballet practice

[xxsidikaoukixx]

I need Pat comes back ! This voice is unbelievible ! Thank you too ! C'est fille est trop cool ! J'adore!!!

[rgncajun21]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've always prefered Pat's version to John's.
