This is just a stupendous vocal performance! I can't believe it is a live performance. Such a powerful yet sweet voice, wow, hat's off to Donna Summer.
I lie this acoustic version of this tune; It's so dramatic in it's presentation. By the way, it's been confirmed that Donna Summer will be in The rock and Roll Hall of Fame next year? If that's true, Amen!
Why is she not singing nowadays. She makes some awsome music. Wish talented singers keep singing and giving the new kids on the block some competition.
Hate to out the young folks of today, but this is true talent and performance- and live, no less! Much of what we're offered today is mostly highly produced junk. I'd pay to see Donna, Chaka and the others of yesteryear. Not sure I'd accept a freebee to see the "artists" of the current skool. Donna simply killed this one...
This song was nominated for a grammy for best disco recording in 1980, she was also nominated for Best Pop female and Best R&B female for Bad Girls, and Best Rock (vocal) female for Hot Stuff which she won. She should have won Best Pop for Bad Girls, that year ... but she didn't they gave it to Dionne Warwick ??
That voice was only used in the 1st few lines, she was pretending to sing like Rod Stewart because this song was originally written for him. She later follows with her true voice,
No way...lol She is just that good. Not much differnt from the real recording. You can tell because some of the lyrics where change in the 1st few verses.
@caribeandude1 o ok coolio. yea i know she was a powerhouse. So the video must've been lagging or something. Don't know why i thiught she was lip singing.
Estoy contigo, Donna Summer tiene una voz increíble, y qué coincidencia soy recientemente un fan de Donna Summer, la conoci por Last Dance y On the radio, en un concierto de Selena donde hace un extraordinario cover y posteriormente en este concierto de Donna Summer en Nueva York, conocí a otra grandísima cantante, Tina Arena. Las grandes cantantes están entrelazadas.
She is singing this in an intrepretation of Rod Stewart as if "he" were singing it. Hint": Maggie May. Originally she wrote this song for him, but chickened out at the last minute and kept it for herself. She explained that in the beginning but it was edited out.
Despite a couple rough notes near the end, this was a great song choice for Anoop, I'm actually sad he's gone, more sad hat I would have been if Adam Lambert were voted off!
Anoop shouldn't have another chance anymore , he don't deserve to be in american idol ,cos he has bee bottom three for most of time ab out 4 time with 2 bottom times ,and that 's obvious the people don't like him and now amount of them,this round ,lil and anoop should be fired
This makes me sweat...sooo sexy...great great singer!!

Donna is SO under rated. She had paid the price of being caught in a moment of time. Her voice is timeless. (and effortless!)
