Concrete Blonde - Heal It Up

[cautionimbored]

legendary voice! 

[ruskiggy]

Sounds like that fat, depressed, suicidal Brit "Adelle," was "influenced" by Johnette's voice, no?

[MrZeroOC]

Note to all the hoochie video girls. THIS is sex appeal: A pair of jeans & a poets shirt!

[6S6l6a6v6a]

I actually read some article where she said that she thinks she sucks, although she is one of the best female vocals I've heard. Definately the best from USA.

[elgonzalessssss]

GREAT!!!

[fubar50cat]

wow, really glad to see that all these peeps still love johnette and concrete, kind of restores my faith that rock is still loved

[tarmike23]

the most under rated voice in rock

[juliephelpsjunocom]

she effing rocks!!!!!!!

[PooPooOnMyNewShoe]

Such a sexy yet haunting voice.

[trapper439]

Best frontwoman in rock history, and possibly the best voice in rock history full stop.

[meeeee1968]

the amazing Johnette Napolitano

such a powerhouse voice

she looks so sexy in this video

timeless classic

[jnilvr]

Couldn't agrree with all of you more! Underrated and missed and this song..it will stay with you for life. A masterpiece.

[Rosangelapaluza]

What a voice!!!!!



[morningstar1981]

tocava muito na Fluminense FM - A Maldita.... saudades.

[heykyleinsf]

this is my favorite CB song.. because of Johnette's vocals here.. 

[666demonangeleye]

This band is truly amazing, and I was fortunate enuff to be able to take my teenage daughter to see them live twice.

[pouchfreeman]

the vocals on Heal it Up remind me of another amazing singer, Grace Slick. Mexican Moon makes me lovesick and orgasmic. Long Live Johnette.

[Insibiat]

SOOO hot and SOOO talented...I will love her forever! I have been a fan since the first time I ever heard this band.

[AntipodeanStar]

Johnette is surely one of the most beautiful women on the earth. With her untamed hair and earthy goddess looks she makes the plastic Hollywood brigade look like fake trash in comparison.

[lonemom14]

yay!

[ABTE67]

the master of linda perry

[SMMHonda1]

I revisit this video about ever six months just to confirm that I'm a fully functional male. She never disappoints. Great voice, great personality. I would give her a thousand dollars for that shirt she's wearing.

[dawgmata]

@SMMHonda1 i do the same..and yes id pay that too....

[Hacker73]

My god she is the Joan of Arc of rock

[bobosharkey]

I'll be honest, I just got a boner.

[wendylynae777]

one word GODDESS

[Lucidanz]

One of best female vocalist of our time period

[Henriqueelroque]

incridible comment @Lucidanz

[Scarlock138]

I get chill bumps every time she hits the chorus. every time.

[dlosterman]

Thanks for rocking us

[guyonearth]

This is a band that should have been a lot bigger. One of the greatest female voices in rock.

[bosszeroboss]

Napolitano used to be so sexy.

This video is nearly 20 years old.

Wow.

[Hacker73]

IMPRESSIVE how Johnette looks totally different at every video... Here, she's sssssssssmoking HOT!

[GhostDistortion]

I actually love this album, maybe more than the others.

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

this my 7th comment on this vid....i've played this song more than 1000 times since 93.. and it still raises the hair on my arms everytime!!

[derekpeter72]

I know the fire you speak of!

[carol563110]

I THINK jOHNETTE IS TOTALLY AMAZING.....SHE POURS HER ALL INTO THIS SONG....AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE, MIXTURE OF ANGER AND PASSION COMBINED!!

[distillersrule]

fap

[Jacksonjesse3]

Not like- love!!! I hate to say that I am glad johnette and Mankey never made mainstream- selfish, yes, seen too many artists fall short if the mark, money, fame, it ruins you! Money does! Don't let that be a deciding factor- ever! You and concrete blonde have always been such poetic music/ rock! I met you once in San Fran- with your little white chihuahua! Slims?

[jsniccu]

Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde explains what happens when heat, cross-country treks and tequila mix poorly. Read more at The Worst Gig (WorstGig.com).

[C0okieMonster1920]

nicki minaj has nuthing on Johnett Napolitano.... =)

[RaoulDuke3221968]

hear that, kids? That's what a kickass voice sounds like WITHOUT fuckin auto-tune.....

[marcio3519]

Ela canta demais , saudade dessa banda australiana .

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

i remember this....this is when female artists actually had mind blowing vocal ability right? I think it was called the 90's or something like that..I can't really remember cuz its been so long since I've heard talent in the music world.

[kernpoa]

eu amo a voz dessa mulher, eu amo ela.

I love this woman's voice, I love her.

skern from Brazil

[Azrael1964]

Top Comments...Womanity???? ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..hee hee..oh dear..my ribs hurt ha ha ha..

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

wow......



[Ferdirov]

She must be really awesome in BED, whats her number please?

[Papiermeister]

she is to this day awesomely hot and talented. i have loved her voice for many, many years. have seen her live many times in seattle, LA, and las vegas. awesome stuff 20 years ago and now. rock on johnette, time HAS been kind to you!

[jamescamp64]

Across the board, all genres, the most incredibly amazing control of vocals at full throttle. Lets start a list, not in a specific order: Johnette Napolitano, Linda Perry(4 non blondes), Ann wilson, Pat Benatar, Jennifer Nettles, Reba McIntire.............. I cannot decide about Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. Who did I miss.

[mabomori]

@jamescamp64 only ones from your list that even come close are probably benatar and houston. the others? not even in the same ballpark. and the two i mention have powerful voices but don't come close to conveying the kind of emotion and goosebump raising chills that johnette does, so i suppose this is all moot.

[robertsteffenmusic]

major respect. Johnette is more authentic and sexier here than most women flaunting their bodies with no class or allure. Something tells me she would have far more to talk about too!

[trapper439]

I remembered Concrete Blonde as a very good band. I've spent the last hour listening to them and they're absolutely magnificent. Kudos to my younger self, you had good taste in music, son.

[crazyunclerex59]

James Mankey at his best, ROCK THE FUCK ON!

[Hacker73]

The incendiary guitar of James Mankey tears the air in a track of fire, the thrilling drums of Harry Rushakoff keep the rhythm of express train and the swinging bass of Johnette takes the heat to the maximum level.

[EnigmaOnThe5th]

here voice stills makes my arm hairs stand up....freakin awsome!!!

[MrBesthings]

/watch?v=o7SWqecIyAk  Full Video

[palehorsepalerider]

this looks pretty normal now, but in 1987 this was really weird music, clothes, etc to the normal people/

[dweebcentric]

@palehorsepalerider - seriously? even with bands like the cult being out and making hits then?

[hessdx1]

So overlooked was Concrete Blonde ! So Awesome !

[mdhedges]

Hot, hot, hot............I forgot how much I love this woman.

[mdhedges]

She is one of the handfulls of women out there with such a powerful voice, God I am in love.

[homeskilletishable]

I fell  in love.Such power in her voice, WOW She is something!!

[lamiastrix]

NO ONE is cooler than Johnette. PERIOD.

[jornybear]

@lamiastrix Totally agree with you pal.

[larintrey79]

One of my all time fav bands ,and song

[johnnyandalice]

The strength of the song is matched only by her wonderful voice!, No one like her. You look incredibly sexy ...

[shempi666]

she's smokin

[rko440]

johnette looks incredible...one of my favorite CB songs...gives me chills...

[janeclea]

Incrível, o verdadeiro rock'n'roll!!!

[1jzgtedevin]

So fucking sexy! I wish she was mine! So hot!!!!!!!!

[wagnermeira27]

Com certeza uma das vozes mais lindas do Rock...

[meeeee1968]

[meeeee1968]

a goddess with a truly amazing powerhouse voice

timeless classic

no more to be said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hacker73]

This song is DEVASTATING. EPIC. CLASSIC.

[ogalindo]

I love this song as much as when i heard it the first time

[111redthread]

12 people are 100 years old

[Haxe1968]

A real rock and roll lady and a great band

[79barkingspider]

@Haxe1968 Never liked the band, took away from this chick's great vocals and interpretations. The drummer could do nothing except bang.

[mypigpile]

i can't seem to get enough of her...

[soren1435]

Empowering, seductive, and dark.....power in one voice she could bring anyone to their knees with that voice...

[TheBeswift]

I can't get enough of this. If we were only as timeless as this video.

[permanentbliss1]

excellent song even after all this time muchos gracias! MOI!

[bruswift]

This is a fantastic video!!!

[cubanPUNK1]

This song gives me goosebumps!Love her!!!!!!

[cassiogt]

This song is just...ageless. Best road trip song ever, IMHO.

[TheLookoutroad]

WOW!!

Your voice has always haunted me.

[TheLookoutroad]

WOW!!

[06ruiz]

THIS NOT ONLY MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE, IT MAKES ME FEEL EMPOWERED, even though we all know we are powerless..... america needs a wakeup call. Revolution be thy name!!

[21centuryretrothang]

This Woman's voice makes me drunk

[Haxe1968]

love this song still.....

[spadehatesscrewtube]

<3

[padraoexe]

IRADA, GLORIFICADA, ESCOL!

[vladofdoom]

Great video, love the visuals. As a hardcore heavy metal fan I have to admit Concrete Blonde was one of the top 3 best concerts I've ever attended. I could never get tired of her voice.

[huilnik]

fucking great

[chromaryan]

I Love her voice!! I was only familiar with bloodletting album and title track from Mexican Moon. Pretty sure i like all of their stuff after hearing this. Mankey is a tasteful guitarist!!

[ABTE67]

@chromaryan

linda perry poor

[vikingyth1]

They may be underrated, but not at my house. I'm raising my kids knowing Johnette!

[Violator2891]

This woman reeks womanity, her voice speaks to the male animal in me.

[trapper439]

@Violator2891 And yet there is a part of me that is uncharitable.

[dumbthings1970]

amazing.

[dumbthings1970]

amazing....

[dumbthings1970]

amazing.....

[JustaSadd]

Kick ass all the way Johnette!!

[80spoop72]

one of the best 90"s songs. Don't know why it doesn't get more play.

[cosmicdingo]

12 peeps can't heal--

[jucurtis23]

i clicked on this video by accident and thank god i did.......this is fuckin' fantastic!!

[FABCASTLE]

Her voice is so damn powerful!!!!

[M22OHIO]

Great tune so sexy.

[ircknemcke]

i've seen her do this ..first back in a festival in reston va in 1989. she and the band blew everyone away. really, the most powerful live concert i have ever seen. then saw them again in Atlanta at center stage in 1991..i think and they did it again the seven people i went with still talk about that show.

[TheMrsGongaware]

I just won tix to see them tomorrow from one of my local radio stations. I AM SOOO EXCITED!!! :)

[TheMrsGongaware]

well minus the kick a baby part i am right there with you executiono :)

[22latino]

I don't know if this is for anybody else...

but, I like the fact that Johnette and Concrete Blonde are not highly recognized.

It makes them more elite...in my opinion :)))

[CyndyNeg]

i have seen her/them a ton of times the past few years...still kicking ass...

[wannabgirrly]

6GUNSOUTH. I have to agree with ya. I've heard 5 outa the 6 you mentioned Live, but the intensity that Johnette sings , no microphone is needed. Ann and Pat a very close second.:)

[23sharbear]

She is every kind of awesome. I can't say enough about her.

[russellrosario]

12 need a microwave to heat it up

[PlutoPowered]

What an amazing song and artist!

[garbagegirl42069]

johnette is a freaking GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hypno318]

Damn i remember when i bought this cd, great album.

[MistressACrowley]

love this song

[art4arts8]

waste of time yammering over commercial musos.... all are affected, and by the mass media craving...hows about going with the actual talent than falling into the media manipulation? Damned fantastic voice!!!!

[Nonkn4mr]

I would love to see American't Ugmo contescan'ts (American Idol Contestants) try to hit the notes Johnette can hit. Hey you stupid talentless judges THIS IS TALENT!!!

[bobosharkey]

@Nonkn4mr It's not the judges fault. Her voice is quite lite literally one in a million.

[Nonkn4mr]

@bobosharkey my point is Idol sucks the music sucks and the talent is commercial copycat crap.

Oh I agree Johnette sets the bar.

[bobosharkey]

@Nonkn4mr The only Idol star with a seriously great voice was Kelly Clarkson but the music was commercial crap. That is however, what the public seems to want. Meanwhile the vast majority of the world says, "Concrete who?" Oh well, there's no accounting for taste.

[Imachowderhead]

dammit shes hot!

[ldylkr]

@Imachowderhead uh huh! Total Hottie!

[WILLJR1973]

always loved her voice. and she is incredibly hot too. MEXICAN MOON is such a great album. brings back memories.

[siouxsieandziggy]

Johnette has ALAWAYS been hot dumbazz!

[reesnixon]

"Deep in your eyes you're 100 years old!" So awesome. What a great song.

[MrSoccer75]

Are they doing any shows in the USA?

[BoojumFed]

@MrSoccer75: Their websie says they're slated to play in Pheonix on Jan 15th.

[hembentakamitakana]

i love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[lightgearwire]

What a voice!



[addy18hale]

Saw CB at the Astor Theatre Perth Aust last week and they were incredible. Johnette was captivating and in fantastic voice. Jim Mankey was amazing

[filtronegro]

yeahhhhh she is the best singer of the universe!!!!!! i love you NAPOLITANO!!!!

[soopertrucker2004]

Pure awesomeness. She is ageing very well. Beautifull woman with a beautifull voice.

[bieldo39sempre]

MUIIIIIIIITO FODA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[floriego7]

i was at the enmore show on thursday too and then flew to melbourne for the gig last night - ROCKED!!! Love you Johnette...but then I did tell you that about 7 times during the show ;-) ....you are sooooo hot!

[fayevski]

Saw them live twice at the Bomb Factory in Dallas. They were just as good live.

[wvheelfan1]

I could never understand why this song wasn't more popular. One of the best vocals ever, Johnette is a goddess.

[bobosharkey]

If her voice was a car, it'd be a Hemi Cuda.

[danbau08]

Ay Carumba! ... This woman is the definition of such. That voice could kill or bring back to life, depending on your perspective.

Love this band, not enough recognition some in the late eighties early nineties but wtf?? ahh maybe its better that way. I envy those who seen them live.

[mreunome]

She rocks! My favorite, especially when she sings Heal It Up and the way she sings in a sexy rock whisper. What a rocker . . . one of the best and under rated.

[DoctorZ400]

Was listening to Concrete Blonde earlier in the year & said to my other half I wish they would reform & come to Australia as I would so love to see them.......... Well sometimes wishes do come true...... They are playing in Brisbane on 19th November & I get to see them live............. Yeeebloody haaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Life just got AWESOME!!!

[PaulUmbarger]

She has that kind of voice that can sound like a daughter, a girlfriend, a mother or the wicked fucking witch. There are no "American Idol" people who sound like this. No real musician would cut it on A/I. Just goes to show, most of the world today sucks. Now pardon me while I crawl back under my rock... where the best music is and hit re-play on this vid a few dozen times.

[cpkphil]

I love that profile!!!

[andrewweis]

She actually got HOTTER as she aged!

[Benwa487]

@andrewweis - Deffinatly I just came back from a gig in melbourne australia 23/10/2010 ! and can i say OMG she was amazing ! Voice has not changed abit, and for a woman pushin 50! Damn! she can still move!

[roxybellarossa]

@Benwa487 DAMN STRAIGHT !! :) I was at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Thursday 21/10/10....man she is a complete soul....walking piece of art....and yeh I had the same thought too ! she hasn't changed a bit at ALLL !... What a great bottle of red !! :p I'm still buzzed ...best show I've seen in a  long time !!

[blondiejw22]

@andrewweis THEY  DO NOT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE I LOVE HER

[issofunky]

@andrewweis YES, yes, she did.....I saw her live in RI back in the winter of 93....and She AND Jim were just the coolest fucking rock stars to EVER sign an autograph for me....they just freaking rocked...

I LOVE these guys....wish the comeback had gone a little more smoothly for them.

Oh...and FUCK DAVID BYRNE for suing "the heads" out of existance....that one album was WAY cooler then ALL of Byrne's paul-simon imitation elevator music

[11marylena]

She is fantastic!!! 

[GSorkut]

FANTÁSTICA a Música e Ela!

[Anastasia77100]

She is so smokin!!!

[MrBCornish]

Powerful Pipes!!

[Paulocity8]

I don't like many female vocalists but I am an enormous fan of Johnette, fantastic and well under-rated group are Concrete Blonde.

[atomcrush]

Easily the best female rock vocalist after Ann Wilson. They both have voices that command attention.

[blisssanctuary]

when a soul is reaching in reflection
