Cyndi Lauper: "When You Were Mine"

[minecabus13]

of course Prince's version is better, it's the original ! hahahhaha

[Starkardur]

@minecabus13 I like both actually as a matter of fact I like this version a bit more. This one is slower than Prince´s.

[Maddluv4eric]

soooooooo Prince's version is WAY BETTER............but i still love her :-)

[baracuda72]

I love Prince for writing this song, but Cyndi Lauper brings to the song to a new level with her high pitch voice .. great performance on this one when she takes off her beret to unviel a blonde/red mess that would make lady gaga jealous.

[RAGNVALDLOVE]

Bonita,:::: la cancion , bonita cyndi Lauper

[YurrahAlHadi]

I think this really happened to her. This song is epic and I love Cyndi Lauper. Was this originally done by Prince. Because this song is about a guy. So maybe her boyfriend was gay. Or this is Prince song, it would make sense.

[wibbbel]

in this video prince look like a woman

[mjhart123]

Cyndi and Gaga have worked together with Aids, Now it needs to be a Musical duet! Lady Gaga and her idol : D

[TheHatedHater]

I'm Sorry but this sucks. Prince's original version is a million times better. What's all this screeching and wailing? Is that meant to be singing? Hahahaha.

[grrteenbnra]

@TheHatedHater You suck goat balls cyndi-hater



[fabianamedeiros]

Her look is so adorable :*

[av7573]

Prince must have wrote it for this performance. He'd never do it better...

[phillygrl69]

How can anyone not like this song as well as the performance!!!?!?!!!

[mclifep]

I love When she sings the keyboard part . This is my favorite song on So Unusual for sure.

[phillygrl69]

@mclifep Mine too!! God Bless!

[JagarTharn12]

I like it better in falsetto

[schockadelica]

Prince's song, very nice!!

[ricodawes]

She along with all the other artistes left the AMA's to record "We Are the World". She even kept on the same outfit

[itsjustnopinionok]

80's hairdos. Can't believe back then even i had a do with several colors going on at the same time.

[itsjustnopinionok]

Gaga, take notes

[juli3550]

The Talent Cyndi Has Is So Amazing. Her Voice Is Heaven To Me. I Have Listened To Her From 83 And Will Continue To Listen To Her Today, Tomorrow And The Time After That.

[xxxxcubbyxxxx]

This and WHATS GOING ON are tvers ever

[Wapakosis]

Gaga has nothing over Cyndy Lauper!

[puresickmermaid]

@ 1:25, when she rips the hat off, I get empowered, too! I love this song, but the performance just takes it to moon.

[backuptheholler]

Actually performing live and without Auto-Tune. Those were the days of true artists!

[Jeromepsy001]

I thought the bridge was just a keyboard effect, wow it was her voice!

[ISashaI]

@Jeromepsy001 wow me too!

[buddatheone]

It is rare that an artist can cover Prince and take the song away. She did, it's hers now and forever. Watching her is amazing Lady GaGa is a complete ripoff of Cyndi and Madonna, with 1980's keyboard riffs. I have heard it all before. Cyndi is an original.

[Gunnarsas]

@buddatheone Sinead O´Connor Nothing compares 2 U.

[trn17]

@buddatheone I don't know about all that, I wouldn't go as far as to say that, cause like you said it's rare for a artist to cover a Prince song really good. To me, he will always have the best version because it's his song originally and no one really beats the original. If that happens it's like every blue moon when someone out beats the original. She did however, do the song justice, and I like her version alot. She's just good like that :)

[80tal]

She´s like a good wine, she´ better with age. Love that woman.

[Gunnarsas]

I loved this cover - Its one of the best Prince covers I have heard - I think this may well be the best or second after Nothing Compares 2 U

[suzee971]

Omg, I remember taping this on my VCR when it first aired! Love this song!

[winston19841]

As good as the original by Prince.

[nosnhojable]

I've always loved Cyndi Lauper. I can remember hearing the song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" for the first time. Have loved her ever since. Little info for u that have never watched "Bones" she appeared in one of their eposides a couple of months ago as a physic. She still looks great .

[ah33333]

Totally getting Cyndi Lauper inspired hair<3

[AyahuaskaPop]

estaba mas rayada!

[djthurles]

exelente alguel lo podria subtitular

[HannaOllikainenMusic]

Can't count all the times I've watched this performance now. And OMG, it's just amazing. I love this song and I love her hair and I love her voice and I love everything.

This is what I wanna be. And this is what I'm trying to be. I'm speachless. :D <3

[phillygrl69]

@HannaOllikainenMusic You took the words right outta my mouth!!!

[devonrocks6]

@phillygrl69 lol errrr xD Cyndi is the bomb; but i'm sorry girls she's one of a kind

[AyahuaskaPop]

me encanta!

[Ceira20]

Far out her performances were so amazing!!!! Thanks for posting this it's awesome :)

[EnclosedSilence]

She's incredible.

[DJBouncey]

Prince has written this beautiful song.

[byndilaupsteen]

And to think right after this, on the same night, she went to The USA for Africa recording and belted out We Are The World.

[poplife6]

My girl she was and still is.......Cyndi was ahead of her time and yes she was unusual .......that is what attracted me to her and her music. I remember the video girls just want to have fun. Cyndi has alot of energy and she is fun and most importantly her music is funnnnnn!!!......that is what is missing in todays music!

[youngmoneylilwayne1]

she so unusual lol i love her. she sound so cute when she sings with her baby face

[cancankant]

@youngmoneylilwayne1 Hard to believe she's 30 in this performance. She was my absolute favorite in the early 80s!!!

[thisischavez]

Prince wrote so many great songs. This is one of many. Cyndi had a lot of energy on this.

[xgrrrl111]

fucking Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bubulah4Ever]

i was about 18 and i videotaped this performance. .it has such a large place in my heart.. i met cyndi years after and told her .. she is a very nice lady..

[backnineblues]

just saw her last sunday in englewood, nj - awesome show!!!

[caradecaballo]

This has got to be one of my favorite Cyndi lauper songs... she is amazing... love her vocals...

[ragazzott]

an Icon. simply put.

[NoLabelApparel]

Cindi Lauper is just amazing- these women now days may have some talent, but I cannot think of another female artist that is this talented vocally and visually, these other women have all of these machines making them sound good, and its like a 3 ring circus going on to take your mind off of how untalented they are vocally.

[rhapsody710]

I remember seeing this performance on TV when I was all of 4-5 years old. You don't forget something like this!

[phillygrl69]

@rhapsody710 No...you dont! I luv everything about her!! This performance was great!

[mrhobs]

@rhapsody710 LOL! I have some similar eighties baby memories... movies more though... (like the original Short Circuit) I guess I do remember some of the 80s songs from Alvin and the Chipmunks lol...

[RichKnight2010]

Its very dramatic when she pulls the hat off and reveals the red hair.

[purpleteardrops1]

awesome performance. i love cyndi lauper and this is one of my fav prince songs! :) <3 him too!

[wonderv8]

cyndi lauper barbie doll was just released. cool.

just wish they make another one with this look.

[noahsarcooo]

legendary performance

watch and learn lady Gaga!

[phillygrl69]

Could not have said it better myself!!!!

[BOWIEGIRL30]

Cyndi has always remained one of my favorite female performers. She rocks!
