  • Cindy got her training in jazz at a very young age and here is proof that she still ranks with some of the best. Im sure Etta would be proud of this rendetion. RIP Etta and thank you for what you left behind.

  • The old song We are the World by Michael Jackson. She stood out in that song.

  • Why do some chose to critique Madonna (and I'm not a fan) over Cyndi Lauper, there was room for both, I favoured Cindi, and think that on the face of it, she did rather well, so, please, wise up, don't hate others, if you like, just like, if you don't, move along, someone who you do like will be along shortly :o)

  • i am a die hard Etta James purist to no end........and I am genuinely impressed. Well done Cyndi.

  • HOLY SHIT is not strong enough - I've loved Cyndi for many, many years and I've NEVER heard anything like this out of her! WOW!

  • Amazing.... shows a whole other side to a wonderfully talented artist!!! She should be on Broadway!!!!

  • listen my cover!!

  • DAM CYNDI Tair it UP GRIL!!!!

  • madonna stole the career and success she should of had

  • @Rumour49 forget her! I doubt M had anything to do with it, it probably has to do with how Cyndi released her albums. However, she will always be great in my eyes :D

  • Cyndi Lauper can sing the blues I dig her latest cdnever was a fan until I heard her sing the blues.

  • Etta, RIP, was great. This is too. Loved it.

  • Cyndi matured! Amazing delivery!

  • Cyndi sounds AMAZING singing this!!

  • WOW!! Fabulous!

  • This Little Honey has some set of " chops " ( vocal chords )

  • RIP Etta. Thank you Cyndi for your beautiful cover of this wonderful classic.

  • Another side of Cyndi. My first time to hear her sing this way. She is amazing.

  • Come on.... why even try to take on this song??? No one does it better than Etta James..... everthing else just seems fake. Not dissing Cindy...she's cool and all.... but this song is untouchable. Beyonce even worse

  • @JamesVibe Are you SERIOUSLY coming on here and suggesting this woman doesn't blow everyone's mind (aside from yours, apparently)? Perhaps your mind isn't quite up-to-par.

  • Holy Shit Cyndi you absolutely killed this song Etta would be very happy of this simply amazing

  • That is absolutely gorgeous! I never thought anyone could come close to Etta James with this one but, Cyndi Lauper has done and outstanding job!

  • Breathtaking......

  • R.I.P ETTA

  • R.I.P Etta James :(

  • Cyndi can belt one out or what! Not Etta, but good none the less.

  • Cyndi Lauper manages to capture the emotion that Etta James did, and that's not easy to do! way to go Cyndi, love your version!

  • Marvelous! Came upon this while going thru Etta James vids,after her passing over.Thank you!

  • I have always loved Cyndi and think the "true colors" of her talent have been overlooked since she first hit the scene. I'm not surprised that she does an outstanding job here with this classic and although very moving and impressive. Etta's version will still always be my favorite.

  • Cyndi used to be a cute gimmick, but she's matured into a serious artist. This is really moving and well-done.

  • Classic...Whether Etta, Cyndi or Beyonce... Love it!

  • I didn't know Cindy had it in her. Her stock just went up. Although, I liked her even before.

  • So its like that, (huh) Cyndi? The only thing i can say is You Go Girl!

  • Impressive cover, sure Ms. Etta James would approve.

  • @waverly24 yeah.. she would approve... from heaven :( R.I.P Etta

  • @TVmose Forgot to add "would have approved."

  • Terrific! It isn't easy to make a classic cover become your own style. And great voice control.

  • Best version, besides Etta :-)

  • i wanna play this over and over

  • She can still wail!!!

  • christina is the queen she sings this song perfect!!

  • Ужасно спела. Голос ужасный просто. Никки Йанофски в 14 лет в сто раз мощнее и красивей спела!!

  • 1. One of the most beautiful songs EVER; 2. Personally, I think that this is a very nice cover... I just love Cyndi; 3. The best cover of this song I've heard, was performed by Celine Dion ... WOOOOOOOOOW. Look for it!

  • @CostasRigas Just heard Celine's version, I agree. No-one can beat Etta James, but Celine sings it like a woman truly in love. As for Christina Aguilera, well, I remember when the song had a melody, not just the usual slung together wiggling about she's prone to...

  • Cyndi held a note for more than 19 seconds live, singing this song... Can any other singer do this?

  • @Cyndiblog56 Christina did? But Cyndi is amazing <3

  • Christina Aguilera just screams in the song. That's horrible!

  • Christina Aguilera sings the song better.

    La canta mejor

  • She is HOT!

  • Que fea mierda, me he visto no se cuantas versiones de esta hermosa canción y CINDY LAUPER es un asco

  • Beyonce sings better........

  • way better actress than madonna too wish she had done more acting

  • Wow amazing song, Beyonce did a good job at this too.

  • I really like this song. I heard it By Christina Aguilera first and i wanted to heard it by Cyndi. She's so amazing!

  • I love you Cyndi!

  • This is my absolute, most 'favorite' version of this song. Thank you Cyndi Lauper!!

  • I knew she was special, even better than madonna! But Madonna was smarter and now earns much money and Cyns not, but it's still a legend! Cyns believes in their music, and Madonna believes in the market and has done a great job too. I'll never forget ray of light of Madonna and everything about Cyndi. i don't know english at all, but i try i hope someone understand me

  • Stunning simply stunning, who knew. I didnt, what a voice what a talent. POP and I thought only a one song wonder. I have been proven so very wrong. I am sorry to anyone I have said bad things about Cyndi Lauper. I look forward to future songs from this one. A talent just tapped.

  • I had no idea this was her song!

  • @scottk5231 It's not. Etta James sang it first, this is a cover.

  • i love her version of this song..she's amazing..

  • One of the best songs cyndi has ever sung!

  • mis respetos para la reina del pop cyndi lauper

  • Wow!! Who knew this woman could sing like this and shes past 50 also. Pure talent no smoke and mirrors and a very classy subtle sexiness. The producer did a fantastic job on the video and audio. Hard to believe she did Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Pat Benatar is another one to check out her jazz standards.

  • Her voice is definitely well suited to standards....I LOVE it!

  • Great Great Great

  • Decent cover but it is hard to top the orginial...

  • adoro a música i´m gonna be strong que dizer eu vou ser forte, espero um dia ser forte mas não de musculo mas da psique! 1994. ea cara da tempo.

  • wow!

    Is the evolution of a great artist!

  • she is good....i love the song opening.

  • Of course she is amazing, her voice, her personality, everything about her, and that song, wow.

  • Uma artista não por opção.. ela simplismente tem no coração e na alma isso e ela ama isso com tudo que pode ...e tem humildade que tambem e reflexo da sua natureza artistica ..... ela simplismente não esta nem ae ... nunca esteve a midia declarou Madona a rainha do pop? Que se dane quem tem a sensibilidade artistica sabe... a difereça e não é influenciado por nada ... Falo por mim e por quem mais ama essa grande artista chamada Cyndi Lauper....

  • @TheMrcrowleyxx Vc escreveu a coisa mais sensata sobre a Cyndi que já li, parabéns!

  • Goosebumps!

  • awesome.....god bless u

  • veeeery good! well done!

  • Wow! Cyndi is Amazing!!!

  • never heard Cindy singing this way , impressive!

  • I lost the feel of this song when she sang it. I don't the key change thing going on...almost sounds off to me. As others said it was two short. Overall not impressed.

  • I love you Cyndi

  • awww she copied christina qwith the long note. she has amazing vibrato and she rocked that song! i love her...x

  • Wow!!! love this song, and this version is really good. Love you Cindy!!

  • I love this woman like woahhh. she's my lady Gaga. The Orginal head bitch. no one can do it like Cyndi. 

  • FANTASTIC!!! I am walking down the aisle to this song. LOVE Cyndi's rendition. It's the best I've heard!!!

  • wow...I like it but for some reason I have a hard time because everytime I hear Cyndi I instantly start singing "girls just wanna have fun" lol. this is good but etta's is the best

  • The bad part of this song is that it takes only 2:40! :(

  • @69kamykaze ya dont know good music when ya hear it im sure miley cyrus can help you out with that:)

  • she has no soul... or at least i don't feel it. call me crazy

  • @zaness Ok. You ARE crazy

    This is a great rendition. Maybe you have ear wax build-up.

  • @zaness I agree with you. Just think - if this song had been sang in such sweet way, it never be a hit. Etta's version is the best one, the one witch makes a shivers over neck, not the sweet tries like that

  • wow this is my wedding song!! wish found this version

  • Yeah.... this is what I was looking for =) Blow's Beyonce's out of the water. Sorry I'm just being real. Beautiful song! God, she rocked it here.

  • Cyndi doesnt get the recognotion she deserves for her voice.She's popular but only in a pop sense like madonna. Cyndi has incredible voice range like Christiana, but she has voice control which Christy doesnt (or cant be bothered to apply) and she sings like an angel,same as Celine but with that soul and bite which Celine doesnt seem to have! All said, it's Etta's song and npo one does it like her.

  • Sorry Eta, you've been outdone on your own song. Cyndi blew this one out of the water- Don't know what the top comment was in regards to but it referenced Beyonce's version- that is a pathetic joke compared to this version- this was done with such class and talent-keep shaking your ass and having lots of dancers Beyonce..you need to..Cyndi has a mic, a stage, and her talent to entertain her guests.

  • @PoweredHobbies - THUmbs UP!!!

  • super Cyndi!

  • best ever!!!!

  • Terriffic.. very well done... impressed

  • ummm the best version!!!! love u cindy just beautiful!

  • you can make a great 80's mix 's with only song about self gratification I know of at least 4 songs.

  • oooh lala. smexy.........

  • Wonderful. Love me some Cyndi and that voice equals magical!

  • I never knew. Very nice.

  • Wow! This gives me goosebumps!!

  • Wow! This gives me goosebumps!!

  • frissons!

  • I love this version. I can actually hear the words and, much as I love Etta's original, I can't make out what she's singing.

  • this is so much better than the overdone Christina Aguilara one on here. More grown up

  • flawless as always

  • :D

  • This isn't my favorite song by Cyndi but she shows hw talented and amazing she is and this has got to be her best work in vocal

  • rien qu' y a des mauvaises langues beyoncé la chante à la perfection et avec le style soul et black qui coule dans ses veines !

  • W.O.W.

  • fuck.... what did slayer3to10 say?

  • LOVE U CYNDI!! I would love for you to do a duet with either Christina A. or Renée Zellweger (you 2 could play mother/daughter -- just about!)

  • i would have this song as my wedding song.. for my love has come along at last!!

  • pure artful beauty

  • Comment removed

  • You may not like her as a person, but this song has character that most of the others are missing. She is magic here.

  • Chilling...Makes me want to cry....Makes me wish for the love that wrote this song.

  • Wow! You constantly amaze me, Cyndi! Beautiful voice! :-)

  • BORING O______O Cyndi, WTF?

  • I really love Cynthia

  • hahaha I love her eyes =_=

  • Thank you, Cyndi; that was pure magic... :)

  • you should look up her live performance of this, its actualy better than this. its here on youtube some where.

  • Feels like the 40's... epic..

  • Cyndi Lauper se supera a cada disco lançado!!!!!!!!!! Não duvida de ela é uma das maiores cantoras do mundo!!!

  • Whether or not you like her rendition, there's only a handful of current entertainers who could even attempt a song like this unaided by voice altering electronics.

  • Sorry, Cyndi....After Etta did this song, I've yet to find someone do better at it.

  • @PhantomOfTheMall actually there's a video of Christina Aguilera CAguileraVEVO doing a pretty good job of it -- you may want to check it out for yourself. Etta did it her way just as Frank did it His Way !!

  • rip amy winhouse.. wait wrong page -_-

  • LONG LIVE DOOM AND STRIDER

  • @amno1000 : yes.

  • @amno1000 apparently. Sorry. But Cyndi's voice isn't for everyone. Its an acquired taste... So I understand.

  • @amno1000 ....YES....

  • Comment removed
