In her day she was well worth a blurt

[francois8329]

Encore tout mon enfance....

[byLivio]

Damn,thats a crazy chord progression.lol

[hnm3000hnm3000]

Landmark pop song, but dull playback performance here Thanks for posting anyway.

[GOLGOTHA01]

Is that cameron Mcvey at the turntables ?

[level242]

SHE HAS A SEXY MOUTH!

[mlovet100]

Excellent song from a supremely talented woman. Absolutely wipes the floor with her contemporaries such as Janet Jackson.

[heatherfriday13]

if they got her on celebrity big bro she would win it she is cool as fooooook

[MariannabyMillais]

Yeh, it's a proper pity about the miming, but I guess that was the parameters of the time.

She will always remain the hero of my formatives.

[norrisonthespot]

....back to when I enjoyed hip hop.

[ethnohouse]

this woman was ahead of her time. she did not have to sell her sex to show she had real talent in the hip hop world

[ShogunSushi]

I was there! This was during the Diamond Awards in the Antwerp Sportpaleis.

[andrewbarrett42]

Epic song,anyone notice that you can here seegulls in the song.

[marmackk]

Heard the song is about Lenny Kravitz and his relationship with Lisa Bonet

[helikestv]

@marmackk wasn't buddy x the one she did about Kravitz?

[BiserGeorgiev]

cool

[TheNaomiengland]

I am making a sid vicious sildeshow and manchild would be great music for it

[mazpaul1030]

[robin38250]

the dj is robert del naja from massive attack

[TheCheshireCatIsMe]

What lip-syching.... Ruins it

[YvesIsaki]

She probably can sing; she just used a pre-recording and lip synced to it cuz she didn't feel like singing on stage cuz it's easy or whatever.

Overall, yeah it ruins it.

[fernetpunker]

one of my favorites of the 80s

[SuperEric39]

She is amazing, really came out and made her own music Thank you Neneh as a biracial man you gave me something real and I love you

[Andyontherocks]

@SuperEric39

you know as a white kid growing up with her music i got the same vibe. I dont think many artists over the years have trancended the race barrier but she definately did when she was making music. I was among a group of white kids who totally loved Neneh when we were 13 or 14, who do we have these days that can do that?

[SuperEric39]

Totally feel what you are saying Andy I was about the same age and it was an exciting time for music. Nice to see you and Happy New Year to you and yours.

[Andyontherocks]

@SuperEric39

same to you mate :-)

[RicoCoracao]

grow up with her music and

still nice to see some clips here :-)

[tanrat7]

shes lip syncing

[kakaduty]

Such a beautiful woman!!! :-O

[TheDeadlyAvenger]

I love Nenah, takes me back.  Her voice reminds me of Roxanne though.

[KOALAsounds]

she left us 3 records

now she ownes us a fourth!

[MegaWunderkind]

Mmmhh da werden schöne Erinnerungen wieder wach....traumhaft schöner Song!!

[caligari89]

Is dit van de Diamond Awards in het Sportpaleis?

[nthrcrpusrnme]

The most ironic thing is: you go your whole life, looking for a man. A man that is going to be there for you. To support you. To make you feel safe, to support you, emotionally, financially..every way.

Then you find out, there's nothing there. Just a littel boy, wrapped up inside a man's body. We were lied to all along. All the fairytales. We're the one's have to rescue ourself. Men - children.. Women - little girls who HAVE to grow up to look after men. Where did the REAL men go?

: (

[sashacoe25]

where did the faithful stand by your man women gone ? ah thats right trying to find another guy that dont exist gl hunny

[Catchild82]

funny how most women think their bad experiences are representative...

[rubenchomontoya]

@nthrcrpusrnme you have to learn to support yourself .. detach your mind from the pair of opposites.. then you'll realise that you will have to stand alone untill the end ot time.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@nthrcrpusrnme: sorry. maybe that´s the mistake in your life: that you expect "power" from anybody else, including so called "powerful" men, instead of looking for power inside yourself. most modern gay real men would have NO pity with you and just say: BABY, SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS and leave men in peace with y o u r heterosexual "problems". okay?

[Isochest]

@nthrcrpusrnme You need to look for an equal: A Team Player. I can say the same about many women. I'm not dissatisfied being a happily married man. But my nieces go back to unfaithful (in one case violent) losers and they do not see what they are doing to themselves.

[G0IMB]

@nthrcrpusrnme Boys and girls need to throw away the false ideals of what we should be. We should always try to be ourselves but sincere and considerate to others. I've found we boys have to rescue ourselves too as many women have not the abilities they profess to have. I don't care if anybody dismisses me as a litle boy wrapped up in a man's body. Otherwise, how could I relate to my own children if I could not think as they do?

[RicoCoracao2011]

@nthrcrpusrnme

...and where are the real feminin Girls ????

soooooo RARE and hard to find....

(only a reply from a good Boy ;)

[FireitupBedford]

@nthrcrpusrnme I hear what your saying. I raised my 2 daughters to depend on oneone but themselves. That's the best way to stay strong. But if you do find a good man that's great but ALWAYS put something to the side in case he just ups and bolts out the door. The best advice a father can give his daughter...

[LSDAddikt]

Yeah this is pretty fitting for spax3

[HarryPartridge]

WTF: linda de mol in antwerp!?

[shunt]

I was there, I saw someone throw a bottle of Spa into her cute face and she was very upset!

[Nenehfan]

If anyone would like to see Neneh performing that song live - please check the video response.

[madipowa]

Thanks so much for this video! It's so rare to see "old" Tv appearances from Neneh.

[nottobeoutdone]

You can see her in an episode of The Young Ones. She is preforming a song. I don't recall the episode, but I think she was just 16 at the time.

[Applebaum]

My Role model love you always Neneh still waitin on your next album xxx

[sharonneedles999]

So ahead of her time. Just scan the airwaves these days and see how many contemporay pop artists have borrowed from her.

[kuddenchristo]

Don't like this at all. Neneh is a talented singer, she doesn't need to mime.

[VideoOverload]

Unfortunatley a lot of (Neneh's) 80's TV appearences we're mimed or with a live vocal over a backing tracks due to the logositics of filming multiple bands quickly for television, rather than a reflection of anyones musical ability. This clip is posted for it's rarity value (& Neneh's great outfit) rather than her vocal talent.

X

[encise]

the miming was a condition of the majority of televised performances back in the day. it has absoloutely nothing to do with nenehs talent or vocal abilities. check your history dude.

[FireitupBedford]

@kuddenchristo I really think she's singing this. I'm usually good at picking up on lip-syncing. The reason I say that is because when you lip-sync you sing into a dead mic but at the end of the song she says (I can't believe you know all the words) Clearly shes holding a live mic. The music is recorded though.

[kellygiluk]

@FireitupBedford I agree. It's obvious she was singing live to this. You can hear that she was.
