Belinda Carlisle - Leave a light on live ...Letterman's

[rhymeandreasoning]

is that Pattie D'arcy (Jones) the blonde back up vocalist? if so, she did pretty much all of Cher's concert tours as backing vocalist..sadly she passed away a few years back...

 Kirk..Montreal, Canada

[rhymeandreasoning]

@rhymeandreasoning PS..I am now positive it is Pattie. the voice and the energy and I got a good close up look at her at the 3:27 mark...

[cearleywine]

Love Belinda. She seems a little intoxicated during the interview.

[jraoul711]

Great live performance. Thanks for posting.

[marionettej8888]

Just saw her live yesterday! a dream came true :D

[leonball69]

i love red heads even more when thay can sing like belinda

[ParagramTree]

She used to be in a 70s punk rock band called The Go Go's. Check out the Go Go's punk songs on here from 1979 and 1980.

[bengtsjob]

Great LIVE performance...

there is such a big contrast between Belinda and the chorus women (especially regarding looks...)

[AnimalsRightToDance]

Disappointed Live your life be free didn't succeed as much as runaway horses. because its a good album. ok, since Belinda is my favorite female singer i want to musically connect with you with a song i made and give for free:

"I like to treat you bad " by ARTD

[Paulvbc]

Beautiful woman, love the husky vibrato of her voice (NOT WEAK by the way)... Seriously, she's been singing professionally for 30 years for Hell's sake! Duh.

[TrackerNeil]

This song is about...nothing. At all. In addition, the extreme amount of vibrato Carlisle employs is a dead giveaway that she's got a weak voice. Not bad, but weak.

[SollicitationisCrim]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[dxsmackdown8]

can someone PLEASE post the cd/radio version of this song ! all thats on youtube are these damn live versions of this song

[Teletran35]

This was such a great song

[MIORIGAMI]

na, if she's gonna do BANGLE'S music....then, she needs them.

[hilljayne]

We all used to get Ellen Shipley singing back up confused w/Charlotte during this period.

[brietta3]

She is the Woman!!!!

[dfizz27]

dear ms. carlisle..........you are always welcome in northern ontario...i took a few black eyes over the gogos.............it was worth it.....

[woodman1987]

Gorgeous and beautiful voice.... wrong politics....... but we don't hold that against her.

[petarphyle]

the Lindsay Lohan of the 80's/90's

[HogbergPhotography]

Haha, she almost makes me straight! Extremeley beautiful. I think the only competition for her is Priscilla Presley in the Good Morning America interview from 1979: youtube.com/watch?v=uIcsGPSbgz­w

[MrAdvent12]

I love it great song belinda is lovely

[ickefes]

@armintamzarian87 I don't know exactly what you are meaning trashy. Musically, appreance or both but Lady Gaga is actually quite good (in my opinion) and I usually listen to Punk Rock and Metal. Check out Lady Gaga when she play piano and sing Poker Face solo. Regards.

[Ra82]

Letterman had sneakers on - wow :)

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Belinda ROCKS.

I love her.

George Vreeland Hill

[johnteekay]

Great song, so underrated!

[captsense]

I'd make her leave her shoes on !!!!!!!

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

she was good but lost all credibility when she said she was all bound for moomoo land

[LukeVader77]

Letterman, back in the days. Man he meets so many great people!

[chocolatepoundcake]

Are her teeth veneers?

[hilljayne]

@chocolatepoundcake No, she's always had gr8 teeth...check out her book for pics of when she was a kid.

[MrRippJay]

so beatifull!

[lalbruiz]

Man, what the f...happened with the solo? Did he had any idea of how the original went?? Poor George Harrison should cringe when he listens to this...

[coolharvard]

what year was this? 

[Wheeljack35]

@coolharvard Around 1989/1990

[chap8938]

its funny how such a beautiful, beautiful, talented woman, could feel so insecure in front of a camera when doing an interview. she is such a knock out, one of the most, if not the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. a real star

[ThaSpook7]

Damn she is fine... pure woman... shape and curve... hot as... and a voice to match... she can park her shoes under my bed anytime :P

[pelicanp00]

Suddenly  it all comes flooding back why I had a thing for redheads back in the 80's and NOW !

[Aeolis7]

The most gorgeous woman in the world.

[egomezpastrana]

BELINDA HERMOSA, cuando vienes a MEXICO city?????

[gsm70565]

Belinda was one of the most divine women in the 80s and 90s, so absolutely sexy!!

Her songs are so greatful, I still get goosebumps... Why can´t time stand still???

[pkappel006]

@gsm70565 how about 2010???

[trekminal]

G-R-E-A-T song!

[timshel71]

I see a lot of comments about her looks and I agree she is stunning but that voice is so unique...wish she would get the recognition she deserves...sometimes beauty is a curse I guess.

[LittleSweety]

This song was in the top 10 in the world charts in 1989

[stevevandien]

Carlisle is good-looking and I've heard WAY worse singers. But there's something over-eager about her, as though she's saying "Look at me, I'm hot and a great singer, RIGHT?" Her voice and intonation are OK. That's about it. Carlisle is one of those innumerable performers with OK looks and a smidgen of talent who manage to get some reknown, like the Simpson sisters. Don't get me wrong -- they aren't bad in any way. But neither are they especially GOOD in any way.

[APRIL62318]

@stevevandien she is saying the exact opposite read her book

[stevevandien]

@APRIL62318 I'm sorry, but am not sure what you mean -- please explicate:) -- 

[APRIL62318]

@stevevandien SHE WAS VERY INSECURE AND ASFRAID PEOPLE WOULD THINK SHE WAS A PHONY CUZ SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS AND THAT SHE DID NOT DESERVE HER FAME. SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE AND SHE IS GORGEOUS UNLIKE MADONNA!

[gacysdad]

@APRIL62318 in her book she says she became anorexic because she thought she should look more like madonna

[APRIL62318]

@gacysdad I KNOW I WAS SAYING THAT SHE IS GORGEOUS UNLIKE MADONNA SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT I DID ANYWAY ISN'T THAT CRAZY FOR HER TO FEEL THAT WAY SHE IS WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL MADONNA HAS CREEPY MAN ARMS

[spursbackpacker]

My all time favourite song when i was 8!!!!!!!!!! still gets me

[chichiboypumpi]

so uncanny she looked very much mature when she was with the go gos

[xycadium]

Does anyone know when this was? I remember the album came out (or at least the single of this song) in 1989 (I remember the first time I heard the song on the radio). I bought the album in early 90. So, this show must have been aired around that time as well.

[toddmkimmel]

@xycadium It aired around mid October of 1989.

[640129]

No, it was Dina Myers in Starship Troopers, Jesus..

[JesusChristRulesYOU]

That girl is the same girl in the movie starship troopers and plus she had her own tv show.

[640129]

@JesusChristRulesYOU The people of the world thanks you - we always believed it was Dina Meyer who who played Dizzy Flores in Starship Tropers - not Belinda Carlisle...

[xycadium]

@JesusChristRulesYOU What are you talking about? Belinda was not in starship troopers. You must be thinking of Dina Meyer.

[buyong77]

@xycadium

wakakakaka i cant stop laughing reading his statement

[RussX5Z]

She looks so beautiful!

[garethella]

god she's amazing,i think she might be "the one".

[ScaredPiglet]

Luscious.

[gattoarancio]

[imagenpagana]

[lolakissx]

[DarkAngel2504]

i will sound stupid (but i only 16 ok), i thought she was british, since I saw her live at clumber park along with ABC, tapau, go west etc at a come back gig called party in the park at various places in the UK, like Leeds, Clumber park etc, she was great, though i'm a total metal head at heart

[grunt182820]

[acmor99]

Wrong, she 100% American,

[grunt182820]

[seby127]

[Baseley09]

[Heartboy1031]

David was dumb with the nosey questions in this interview.

[Jackbite69]

My answer to her request,, To leave a light on would a resounding "NO"

You got to thingk of the Carbon Footprint! MAN,

Although i'd leave a sock on the door Knob... XD

[bistaboy]

Carbon Footprint?! What a twit you are, there is no such a thing as global warming, complete rubbish to tax idiots like you into complete submission. Go find Al Gore's ManBearPig, and save the world.

[Jackbite69]

@bistaboy Firstly my comment was meant, tongue in cheek, & Secondly Thank you

for clearing the the trivial matter of global warning! I can sleep well tonight!!!

[verlisse]

She's using the program musicians as a back-up group.

[Meanchica]

i love this song...she have a great voice...

[tikebug1]

Oh my god I haven't seen a record since i was 8!!!

[Sharky165]

Wow, great stuff, thanks ! I watched Letterman's show pretty regularly back then, but must have missed it that night.

Guitarist didn't get the slide solo exactly right, but it was passable...and besides, there was only one George H., right ? lol

She sounds great, and looks sooo friggin cute here as a brunette.  She looks A LOT there like a pretty gal I went to junior high with, who's now a big-time actress (think of the first two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies)...

[kablamo9999]

Sexy voice

[mariano235]

So Great!!!!I LOve Her!!:PP

[maria98173]

I love it !!!!!

[StoneColdProduction]

Unique voice and still beautiful :-)

[mgparis]

LOL @

Why France??

he sounds so accusing, it's like an interrogation!

anyway, Belinda rocks :D

[nosfero]

So many memories..

[suzmicmay]

Belinda's voice live has a cute huskiness going on! i LOVE it!

She is beautiful here, as always, and looks AND sounds even better now, 20 yrs after this song's release.

[tigershoot]

She looked radiant. Great song too.

[Orfeus2009]

I love her!!

[XitlerikiNeolaia]

me too

[FRESNO777]

We all love Belinda

[matt84german]

SWEEEET.... she´s so beautiful!!

and nice song!!

[54spiritedwill54]

Good performance.

[Livenet90]

The way Belinda is tapping her feet she is just dying to kick off those shoes and sing barefoot. Anybody who slightly followed Belinda's career knows what i'm talking about.

Great song by the way!

[Armandos44]

THE TV HOST WEARS ATHLETIC SHOES!!!!

[si4106]

i could do with a girl like that

[jason6143]

belinda your an amazing women,just amazing,great voice and the hottest women of the the late 80s,

[Abe1659]

Gorgeous Angel

[gayboylaca]

Very good performance.

[Redcub7]

Belinda is great in concert and she was at her most sexiest here! LOVE THAT RED HAIR.

[gayboylaca]

Yes great red hair, and her voice was in top condition.

[festivephone]

rip george u made this song :-)

[Wimre]

BELINDA VERY AVESOME! :-)

[mungi4]

i love this song!

[ForeverAnalog]

That have that same LP. Play is all the time.

[richbates69]

Hey! One other thing which is worth noting about this song is that George Harrison was asked to play that cool slide guitar lead in the middle. Not Clapton, not Van Halen or any of his contemporaries. George, the master of the slide guitar. Paul Schaefer's guitarist butcherd it. Just thought people should know. Rock on Belinda!

[ryanpreston84]

She is hot.

[piggies1]

George Harrison played slide guitar on this song!

[danyyel755]

what a nice woman!! linda mujer y seguira siendolo ven a la argentina please!!!

[CINDIN33]

SEXY!

[SeanKasky]

[olivia4058]

The GoGo's were the first all woman group. I remember quite well "We Got The Beat." They were so popular. I recall Belinda's Circle In The Sand. She definitely has left her mark. She's a great singer and is still a beautiful woman.

[Huntinbear]

Beautiful.

[pazzolarson]

The hottest female singer ever to be on stage! No one since can compare. She recently went on stage in Salt Lake with the Regeneration Tour.  Still hot in her 40's. Really a jaw dropper.

[ikenbrodt]

It's funny that a woman with such an amazing & photogenic face is so shy about TV interviews! A reluctant celebrity, Belinda Carlisle was one of visual icons of the 80's.

[mgparis]

Lots of artists (not just musical ones either) are shy and self-conscious (just like lots of normal people are, LOL) - it has nothing to do with looks...

[LuxClassical]

Good performance

[LuxClassical]

Good performance.
