  • she looks a bit like a female version of frankie valli

  • she killin it @ 1:38- 2:00 (:

  • Her talent here is still so great and impressing , that I as a man still can feel self pity over the fact , that I dont own her - but after all - she donated me - us - this beautiful voice and it came from her heart - so I - we - own her !

  • Beautiful and Amazing ...

    im not here to examine her life, i came to listen to her sing this Beautiful song .. some artist make it there crusade to speak out on this and that , thats fine they open themselfs to critism on their ideas and beliefs..then some are about the music they are class acts that sing their hearts out.. critique the song if you must ..thank you for posting

  • Ms.Gore has a right to her sexual preference..and no one had the right to criticize or mess around with it.Besides..she a talented performer..and that is all that matters here.

  • wow, her voice has really changed since the first recording of this song. Disappointing.

  • I agree with the rest of the positive remarks. Lesley Gore is a CLASS ACT. She has been singing since she was a teen and she is on the stage belting out her song without special effects. Yes her voice has changed. SHE GOT OLDER!!! Plus she is singing live instead of in a recording studio, of course her voice is changed. So has everyone else that age, which shows she still has talent and class. The rest of you close your mouths and actually LISTEN for once. You might learn what class is.

  • @dyn6sty That was about 24 years before this one so it would be surprising to say the least if her voice HADN"T changed. still good just a more mature sound.

  • This is good, I don'tknow how people could hear otherwise. Seriously.

  • There are very very few singers performing after 2010 that can hit the high notes. Most of the singers today are weak winded and sound the same. They could at least hit the weights and work on their lungs. Lesley Gore sings great decade after decade!

  • I would force my way to the stage , pass the security guards and HUG her - she is bigger than all the unworthy people critizising her and she is a talent where age , sexuality and look are surpassed by eternal talent . I love her !

  • Little kids are so fucking stupid. Leslie Gore is awesome!! Fine ass Jewish girl

  • so she's gay, so fucking what, it's a great song and she's a lovely singer, i couldnt give a monkey's chuff!

  • Rollerball. Hopefully someone will run over your ball. Leslie Gore wouldn't waste her time with your comments, because you have no class and she does.

  • lesley gore still beatifulllllllllll

  • she didnt want to be owned or told what to do sounds like i should take her advice

  • i have been a fan of lesley's i watched on american band an where the action is an today i lesson to her music she has a lovely voice i don't care what her life style is we don't walk in her shoes until then she still a great singer

  • shss a dyke!

  • @rollerball17

    No a dyke is a natural or artificial slope or wall to regulate water levels.

  • great song great vocal!!!!

  • Lesley will always hold a special place in the hearts of those of us who first listened to her songs in the 1960s; we remember her tuneful hits fondly (we can all still sing every note along with her) and she is a part of our musical history. A wonderful voice and fabulous showmanship - a class act all the way. Thank you, Lesley!

  • I know nothing about this artist or anything I like the chorus though. It seems that people are here listening to this because of the artist, not really about the song

  • She does look a bit below par in this video, for whatever reason. Another video, of her performing in 1989 in Australia, shows her looking very young, so I can only think that this particular concert took place at a bad time for her.

  • Lesley must not put "Preperation H" on her face! It works=====

    I love her, and her music!

    She's definetly Hard Core.

  • Wow, she was only 42 here. She must have had a rough life. She looked 62 :(

  • @bloogunproductions That is mean! Why would you even say something so hurtful about Miss Gore? She has accomplish much in life. Are you famous for something?

  • @Torqem Did you fail to mention the question and the sad face in my post? I love her, I was just shocked to see that unfortunately she looked older than her years here, she is a great performer. And no, I'm not famous for anything. How is asking that relevant to what I said?

  • @bloogunproductions Listen, you have my sincerest apologies and May be she had some hard times. Again sorry.

  • hate when singers try to hold on to the past. let it go. move forward. let your records do the singing for you.

  • Two words -- carry-oke

  • Was the theme song for many of us coming of age at that time.We needed songs of empowerment Thank you Leslie

  • Great clip. Thank you so much for posting it. Lesley and I both graduated SLC. Lesley Forever!

  • Whatever had happened to her wrist?

  • Thanks for uploading.  I've been looking for this video. I watched it when it was on PBS fundraising. (am I telling my age?) Lesley Gore is one of my favorite female singers.

  • damn, just cuts off when she's starting to really get into it. this song is badass. totally not just a feminist song. all about the human struggle w/ being controlled. <3

  • @lenn9o9n get part 2 and put them together.

  • @lenn9o9n The uploader did post the rest of the song :)

  • I could listen to her 24/7....DAMN...I MEAN DAMN.. GREAT.

  • This was a hit in 1964,; I was 14 years old. If you young people are watching "Mad Men" on TV, you will see the attitude that men had towards women-we got little credit! Dr. Joyce Brothers, now a respected rich and famous psychiatrist, got a scholarship to college back then. The head man tried to get her to give up her seat for a "man who has to support a family"; all she wanted was a husband. She was already engaged. 60's saying: "A man of quality is never threatened by a woman for equality."

  • meaningful words....

  • still pitch perfect with that zing in her voice

  • WOW! She did an AMAZING performance here! Lot of heart into it!

  • audio and video are out of sync

  • wow, i love lesley but doesn't she look a lil' like patti duke here? rough live version. gritty. cool.

  • @hotgritz4sho I agree - she does resemble Patty Duke. Ironically, Gore is a lesbian. Said she became aware of her sexual preference while attending college.

  • @BLM912er  Lessy gore !!!!

  • i like all the wallflower dudes in the background. they seem like they're really listening.

  • This was live, and she was in pain, she just broke her wrist hrs before this aired when she fell in her pool.

  • Ms. Gore is great....the band really stinks.

  • here we go go goooooooooooooooo - eminem

  • Awesome, she still has that great voice.

  • Her voice is just as good as it was way back then. Very strong! Love this song.

  • just superb. such a vibrant lady.

  • Age is a cruel...cruel thing.

  • older lesley lip synching her classic? who's idea was THIS?

  • @putdownan8dude

    Gee I am going to retire in a year or 2 and you sit and complain about a Star I used to dream about 35 years ago. Get a life. She was always the greatest.

  • .....she's totally lip-syncing that. I'm disappointed.

  • @kleoji Go listen to the original record. There is no way in hell she is lip-syncing in this performance.

  • .....she's totally lip-syncing that. I'm disappointed.

  • @kleoji It sounds live to me. How can you tell?

  • her voice years later stayed sexy..looking at her you have to see her back in the day. Where was she performing..this club is so freekin creepy. Makes video hard to watch.

  • Leslie sent us (young women a message when we so needed it.  It is so timeless! ... and she is every bit as beautiful and talented. Thank you for posting this.

  • she's still the bomb!!!! Love it!

  • not bad for a 42 year old woman.

    she does have a strong voice

    her lower right lip is a turn on....

    dunno what she did to it or whatever...

  • I don't care what she looks like in this clip I don't care what's she's wearing all that matters is that voice and she sings this with so much passion and emotion.

  • If you had just broke you wristi wonder if you would get on stage and perform with all your heart.

    She is fabulous and still is.

    What a great entertainer.

    She is still beautiful in more ways then one.

    sc in dallas

  • I love the statement. Also, I love her voice. She has that sexy husky thing going on...

  • wow, she was only 42 in this clip....

  • I was two years younger than she and just drooled every time I saw her perform. Her voice has yet to be matched by any contemporary singers. Even today I can't believe this once-gorgeous luscious female, my all-time favorite female vocalist and probably the best of the past fifty years, became a lesbian. My God, what a waste of a beautiful woman.

  • @brit1072 You say "What a waste of a beautiful Woman, because Leslie is Gay person.

    Dont you realize the contribution she has made to the music industry over these past 5 decades? Not too mention those lucky people who shes been close with, including any Loves. Gay Women CAN contribute plenty! Suzie Orman, Lilly Tomlin, Rosie Odonnel, Dusty Springfield......etc etc etc. Open your mind!

  • The band really messed up the song.

  • when i first viewed this i remembered when it aired.

    I really enjoyed she her performing again.

    I now know she is still back out there singing her heart out.

    Lesley you are wonderful.

    sc

  • There are so many hateful comments here. Why?? Lesley has more talent in her pinky than so many of those bozos that are out there singing now! She is a class act! Always for you L.G.

    Luv,

    Charla

  • if i could go back in time i would watch her playing sunshine lollypops and rainbows

  • @BeezerTwo Lesley your the greatest.

  • check out my video Talk with God

  • whc cares if she is lip syncing, if it is her songs..god give us A break. she is great,, and i and she fib it from time to time so be it

  • I agree that Lesley looks a little tired. She was probably belting out that song on 4 hours sleep.  And I agree with other posters that the dress is not flattering at all. Her hair wasn't very nice either. But the VOICE remains. Lesley is fabulous.

  • She is so beautiful.

  • Such a Sexy Voice! Still after all these years, you DO still have it Leslie!! Love your style!! Respectfully !

  • She looks rough

  • to crazzze88: i agree, she does look "rough"....and that dress didn't help either. She actually looks kind of strung out.....it's not easy getting up in front of a crowd trying to prove you "still have it" Some people just do not age well

  • Who woulda guessed she was gay.... Not a problem just who thought???

  • Lesley, this was fantastic!

    Beginning with her hit of "You Don't Own Me", she has sung some amazing versions of this classic!!

  • Sounds like Japanese enka :D

  • @ASnowPuppy Yes

  • This is called talent...and that woman is a class act.

  • You guys are so young and know nothing about talent, learn what real music is before u comment

  • where is she now?......someone needs to do a big tv special with alot of the 60's singers

  • @scarypowers she has a web site with current information and where she will be performing in the near future.

    Please note that she is "lip synching" here.

  • She's actually not lip syncing at all here, the video it out of time.

  • @Realteen Well, you probably know more about that than I do so, okay I guess. By the way, was her left arm in a cast when she did this?

  • She's awesome!

  • she looks 60 but she's only 42 here i believe..

  • Stop to do that superficial comments about her!

    She is great and i love her!

    Her voice still amazing. Love u Lesley!

  • It was the 80's-- cut the woman some slack

  • I'm watching it over and over again...

  • Why did I just watch this five times in a row? Mesmerizing....

  • She looks like hell.

  • Her Voice holds up , the Pajama's was a bit much.. but she can still sing

  • I agree. I love Lesley, but WTF is up with the pj's???? :0)

  • Hell, I know she is a lesbian, but this is really manly. And were the pajamas necessary? Anyway, still love ya, Leslie. And your voice is still one of the best. But if you looked this creepy 20 years ago.......

  • she sounds OK but OMG she looks like she drank a 5th a day since he 60's! Gawd

  • toxxic4343,

    She was in her early 40's at this point. Im am going to guess 42. I dont think she looks that bad...the makeup and hair were not great and the clothing was horrible. Not to mention HORRIBLE lighting. She doesnt look her best...but still she is not looking horrible. Oh...and those damn shoulder pads make her look like a freaking troll with no neck.

  • sfb001

    We all wore those shoulder pads because they made our hips look slimmer. LOL The pajama style is not flattering to anyone who is height challenged. Neither seemed to hurt her voice.

  • Is this Leslie Gore or Leslie West?

  • gore

  • very funny!!!

  • scary is all I say.

  • WTF . she was an angel before ? what happen now ? but still great song

  • sporting pyjamas i see!

  • Listen to Dusty Springfield's cover of this song. It's amazing....no comparison. Dusty miss ya daily. RIP

  • SHE BROKE herwrist when she fell getting out of her pool hours befor this show. After the show ,the doctor put a hard cast on her wrist.

  • how awkward.

  • whys this awkward?!

  • This song so spoke to millions of us girls who had controlling boyfriends, in a time of the 60's beginning "Women's Lib Movement." I love Leslie for that statement.

  • @Jibbie49 Yeah, And I'll bet you are a miserable single woman now. I've dated your type before. And they still carry on about us evil men who want to control. Sad to say that your type has helped destroy relationships.

  • @Jibbie49 This song so spoke to millions of us girls who had controlling boyfriends, in a time of the 60's

    Boy, how times have changed! Now, it's women who control men.

  • @SnortedColors Think again!

  • @SnortedColors YOU THINK YOU CONTROL MEN YOU STUPID BITCH, THERE HOWS THAT FOR CONTROL. LOL

  • @NICKIEYES1977 You are a ignorant, sexist, clown and a half.

  • @Jibbie49 hey dumb as this song is from the 50's!!!!

  • @Jibbie49 totally agree !

  • hahaha what the hell

    most bizarre musical performance ever?

    aging pop idol sings furiously to despondent crowd, alone on a stage, in pajamas and sporting a splint, with ghastly remixed backing track with outrageously inappropriate 80s guitar solo.

    what in the name of god is going on here

  • Thanks for posting this beautiful song by Lesley Goge.

  • love it and herrrr

  • What a sweetheart !

  • what a lovely crowd

  • too bad how it cuts out while she is still in the middle of a verse

  • What a sweetheart .....

  • I love Leslie Gore and this song but the lip sync. or the tape is WAY OFF!!!

  • Sometimes that seems to happen when you upload videos to youtube

  • just an encoding artifact.

  • is she a lesbian

  • are you gay? idiot

  • ya she is lesbian, lived with her "partner" for like 30 years

    she sang about boys boys boys but then she found out in her late teens she switched teams

  • your point

  • my point is I was responding to a question from steve89z asking if she is lebian

    thats my point

  • sweet.

  • what's the heck is that? it's some kind of joke of April Fool???

  • Just the  best ...great song luv leslies soul!!!!!

    shes still the best one of the best female singers .....babsie..xxfreay posting

  • This is Leslie "the barritone-years"!

  • I love this song as she sang it but here she sounds like she's having an enema.

  • yeah, but she sounds good.

    "...just let me be myself,that's all I ask of you..."
