Never mind, my user name, long story, I'm a guy if it matters. But back to Cyndi, I've always thought she is a fantastic singing talent, and regret never seeing her live in concert. she is absolutely unique and amazing, even to this day now in 2011. I love her music., her voice and lyrics stand out and reach out with emotion and meaning, in an industry where crap sells. I love you Cyndi.
Wow! Thanks so much for posting. I'm not sure if I've ever seen this, but if I had to pick a favorite song off "Girls" this would be it. She's so brilliant & so unusual, god(dess) bless!
So captivating and mesmerizing. I can never take my eyes off CYndi when she is performing live. Just magical! ***** DIE for + Cyndi KILLLLLLS me in this. Cyndi is SOOOO much more innovative and creative on these American Music Awards in 1984 than Madonna doing Like A Virgin like a cheap slut with her thighs hanging out with no imagination on the 1984 MTV Awards!
i still remember this performance from the ama's. love the dancing, the painting, and her voice. she sang her heart out that night. before there was lady gaga, there was cyndi being so unusual.
A great cover of Prince's song. Nice! Both versions are awesome, but Prince's will always be my favorite. Cyndi still tore it up though, she is always outstanding.
Just one performer on stage, singing with their real voice, no autotune, no support from flashy pyrotechnics, backup artists & other distractions to make an attempt to disguise flaws in the performance. This is reailty, much respect.
In 10 years we will think of this as what it truly is...an amazing, truly dead on performance for the books.... a legend thats what she is I only wish the 80's legends had a longer more complete run...cyndi has so much more to offer.... hope we get a rebound
CYNDI ES ÚNICA...ESTO EN DIRECTO Y SUENA ESPECTACULAR...SU VOZ ES TAMBIÉN ÚNICA, Y SU PERFORMANCA, VAMOS, NI HABLAR...NO NECESITA RECURRIR A EXTRAVAGANCIAS PSEUDOERÓTICAS PARA QUE SU TALENTO OCUPE EL LUGAR QUE LE CORRESPONDE COMO LA GRAN ARTISTA QUE ES.
This is the best Cyndi's performance ever! I love this song and this performance! She sounds even better live. Great video and great quality. Thank you for posting it!
this performance is incredible. A very taleted singer a great performer. Madonna then and Lady Gaga now have copied her very bad!

I think I remember this...it's the American Music Awards performance...later that night "We Are the World" was recorded.
It's a fantastic performance. Really legendary! Such sincerity. Great song by Prince, too.
