Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart Live

[cjmb251963]

Wow!!!!



[Enjoysock]

I am sure Tina Turner wrote simply the best for Bonnie Tyler and Cher <3

[Earssss]

@Enjoysock ,,,,,, wrong,, bonnie wrote ,, the best,,, tina , celine etc stole it from bonnie and called it,,,, simply the best

[NeoMoonlighter]

@Enjoysock YOu know that who wrote this was Meatloaf...right?

[Enjoysock]

@NeoMoonlighter I was just saying that Bonnie is simply the best in a cool way..

[NeoMoonlighter]

@Enjoysock Oh, now i get it ^^

Sorry.

[Enjoysock]

@NeoMoonlighter No hard feelings :P

[vuman40a]

@NeoMoonlighter Actully the writer of the song is Jim Steinman. He wrote songs for Meatloaf, Air Supply, Barbara Steisand, Celine Dion and Bonnie. Jim always puts the awersome piano in his intro and endings..

[justsoof1998]

hahahaha



[justsoof1998]

did she eat sand? not that she can't sing.

[ARoN903]

@justsoof1998 It's so funny that you'd say that. When she made an appearance on "Nevermind The Buzzcocks," she said that she actually DID used to eat sand!

[donnelly64]

Rory Dodd was the original male voice on the recording, shame he's not mentioned on this. By the way he's my friend.

Cheers George T

[bonnietylerfan13]

real music

[Franz2099]

Her voice is unique, no one has that particular timbre...

[OriginooGunnClappah]

Real Emotions!

[kenjidog100]

emotion a la bonnie tylor thats great

[Juzsayit]

She owns this song definitely even with a wounded vocal, no other could bring out the emotions of this song the way she does

[Tlazohtzin19]

Thumbs up for that YouTube never remove this video...

[maryloubieber1]

omg she is super!every time i listen to this song i cry......

[maikeltricolor]

The best singer of the history. No one can do it better. =) Good times...

[GAYNORTYLER]

@maikeltricolor i agree

[elijah7k]

Bonnie gets high marks from me with this live version of Total Eclipse of the Heart!

This song rocks and her hair looks great!

[jokomocotoko]

do you now what keyboard is that he`s playing with bass(piano)

[sobeetja]

i love the rocker voice in the actual song but when she performs live she sounds like shit

[bandus1981]

She cant sing!

Her voice is just like a metal cup.

[bonnierocks67]

One of her best performances of this song!!! Love her hair. That's how I remember her from the 80s.

[souler999]

In the description, it's written "She manages to keep her voice from cracking for most of the song." does it mean the rapiness she has? Because, It's only better if she "uses" the raspiness, it's connected to her!

BONNIE STILL ROCKS

[bonnietylerfan2008]

Great performance from a great woman! :)

[bonniebaby78]

Her performance n voice is always the best n she never gives less than 100%. Bonnie u re still the best. LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing. GREAT JOB!!!

[CrazyworldFab]

sometimes Bonnie looks shy on stage, but Here She's give us Emotion.

Answome !!! LOVE BONNIE<3

[linderjustin]

her voice isnt the besat now but you know shes got seriosuly guts for singing with that voiuce.she definitely rocks assw with wat shes got

[kenteoth]

Well go see her live and you will for surely change your opinion on her voice, she rocks when she sings live, especially blues songs!

[Maglorz]

=S

sfdfdsf

[kenteoth]

This performance makes me think of Stevie Nicks and Janice Joplin with a lil bit of Tina Turner attitude! It makes me think that Bonnie is singing to an Irish audience with the way she makes her voice like she's in a pub singing to her friends.

[kinterodavid12]

i think her voice is especialy horse today

[kenteoth]

Bonnie herself admitted that she uses her rapiness the way she wants to and that is a true gift especially with her voice being very husky. She can also hold a note as long as celine and barbra streisand. Listen to the end of Heaven98 and you will understand what I mean. I think it's somewhere here on you tube to listen to it's amazing

[dondelusion]

Yes, a husky voice is good for rapiness.

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

[BackToTheShit]

her best version? you mean the badest ever!

[andresballester]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!

[piratebastard1]

Bonnie is an angel for throwing Jim Steinman a bone, here. She totally didn't have to, it was a real classy move and I'm sure any songwriter appreciates a little nod every once in a while. Not many musicians would do that. :D

[truckintheband]

oh mate i agree, steinman is brilliant

[pepe6666]

stienman seems to have his finger in all the pies. that guys a genius.

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

thats my favorite bonnie hair style(:!

[ARoN903]

I will second that any day. Bonnie looks foxier than ever in my opinion. It would be awesome if she would do her hair like this for just one more show for old time's sake.

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

ohhh I'd loveee that!!!!

[kenteoth]

Hi aaron, I wouldn't hold my breath. I heard on a few recent interviews that she hated that look and won't do it again. I loved how she looked on the Notes From America cover. She still looks stunning after all these years

[tobinger]

i think that was at the donauinselfest in vienna

[tobinger]

i always liked the song and the westlife version is even better

[54spiritedwill54]

i like the raspiness of her voice, it ROCKS!

[piratebastard1]

It sounds so ravaged and pitiful, she definately rocks the hell out of it!

[CrazyworldFab]

I don't think it was in 1988, I she's got the BitterBlue hair and clothes Style.

Thank you for This Video, Bonnie is amazing!! I Love her

[kenteoth]

I am working on a website for Bonnie for the 25th anniversary of this wonderful song, anyone interested in sending messages or their story about how they came across TEOTH would be greatly appreciated message me privately for details

[Akee1990]

That's a great idea kenteoth.

[skizodeadman]

I love her voice when she doesn't make too much.

Best performance:grammy 84

[bonnieisbest]

this woman is just amazing.

[bennemmashirley]

You cant beat the grammy performance of this song.!

[GAYNORTYLER]

cette version est vraiment super !! bonnie revient nous faire un concert en france !!!!

[TotalEclipse07]

I was at the Las Vegas concert, too! She is amazing! I want to see her again SOOOO badly! We need more of her in the U.S., am I right? :] I LOOOOOOOOOOOVEE HER! And she's no smoker! In fact, she's known for not doing drugs or smoking!

[jvyeadon]

she is pretty, but she looks really pretty in this concert!! also i LOVE her voice, there is NO replacing Bonnie Tyler!

[kenteoth]

The more I watch this the more I am convivnced she was singing like Janice Joplin. No other singer can do that!

[ARoN903]

The more I watch this, the more I wish I could turn back the time to November 3rd, 2007 at 7pm.

[kenteoth]

I just told a few friends of mine that yesterday I would love to relive that whole weekend a few times! :-) gmta=great minds think alike!

[cocorico666xxx]

On dirai qu'elle a un chat dans la gorge mais la version originales est quand meme bonne!!!

[EvianBaby]

a female axl rose

[pompoggino]

Dedico sta canzone al mio amore Lucilla P. che tra poco ascolterà sta song con fare gelgertico e pargenterico con immediata sensazione di palurtico....TI AMO!!!!!

[megabonniefan]

This is just breathtaking!! I love her hair and her voice is just amazing. Thanks for posting.

Bonnie, don't stop the music, we need it to dance, you're so fantastic. And thanks to God for having you on this planet, you're a very great inspiration, love you!!

[ARoN903]

I'm actually kind of worried about her future. She said in an interview that before she retires, she wants to return to the U.S. for a tour. And starting November 2nd, she's going to begin touring in the U.S. starting in CA and working her way east. I have a front row seat for her concert in Vegas on the 3rd of Nov. I really hope she's not thinking about retiring. Because she's only gotten better as she's aged over the years.

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

omg she cant retire! she said that later this year that she is returning to the states too record a new album with jim stienman!!=] praise god another super hit! i dont think she will retire yet she doesnt seem to be that kind of person i mean what will she do?! she said her life is on the stage!! i love her she is my role model she cant retire now i need her!!!<3 =..[

[kenteoth]

I have heard that she is NOT planning on retiring and I too will be seeing Bonnie in concert but on the 3rd in Las Vegas. Hope you enjoy!!

[ARoN903]

Well, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! I'm glad people are going to her U.S. concerts. Bonnie's quite underrated here and I was worried not enough people would go and she might cancel the show, but apparently enough people bought tickets.

How close to the front will you be? I'm going to be within 10 feet of her... maybe closer depending on where she stands.

[kenteoth]

I am in the front row center stage, I forget exactly what seat is. We may be close to each other. I am meeting with some folks who are in the same Bonnie Tyler club I am in. Maybe we will run into each other there. It will be pretty easy to pin point me because I walk with a cane (I have Parkinson's Disease), but it hasn't kept me down and Bonnie's music has helped me get through some of the roughest spots in my life. I CAN'T WAIT TO BE THERE!! Hope to meet you and other fans there too!

[ARoN903]

Ah, a whole club of die-hard Bonnie fans? How fitting! I shouldn't be too hard to recognize, either. I'm a guy with long hair who wears grey shirts all the time... And I'll be in row A, section 2, seat 19.

[kenteoth]

Well we won't have to worry about what we look like cause guess what???? I am Row A Section 2 Seat....you will never guess......18! we'll be right next to each other LOL! I am leaving Phoenix Friday evening to meet a fellow from the TBTIC yahoo group, we've been buddies for ages and I am getting very excited as the minuts go by! I can't wait!

[troywinnipeg]

You have no need to worry! There is no way Bonnie is retiring, at a concert in niagra falls, on september 28th i think, Bonnie said she is going back into the studio next year with Jim STEinman!!! How cool is that! And it turns out the album they are going to record is gona be country/rock, which i cant wait to hear!!! So no worries she aint going anywhere

[ARoN903]

That is EXCELLENT news! She and Steinman really rocked the charts with their previous work together, so it'll be interesting to see what they can put together this time around.

[kenteoth]

I had the pleasure of meeting ARoN903 last weekend in Las Vegas at Bonnie's Concert, She's a sweetheart and her hubby Robert is so cool! I agree with megabonniefan, she's THE BEST!

[kenteoth]

Have you been to a cocnert or met her face to face????? Yes I agree she is a great inspiration, I told her that she doesn't know womnay hearts she has touched through her personality and music, she was so cool and so was Bobby!

[megabonniefan]

Yes I've been to a concert in Berlin, in the Hard Rock Cafe, it's a view years ago, it was a concert to the album "Heartstrings". After the concert she came out and had time for her fans, for about 1 and a half or 2 hours!!! That was amazing. I agree, Bonnie and Bobby are very cool. It was a night, I'll never forget in my entire life!!!

[lauraxbraniganfan1]

Well although she wasnt spose to talk at all after her surgery, and caused her a raspy voice, its done her a big favour although she does sound like a female version of Rod Stewart. Keep it up Bonnie! xxx

[kenteoth]

I hear a lot of hints of Janis Joplin in this live version. I think she was just doing this because she simply can LOL. Yes Bonnietylerfan23455 I agree about her surgery and the fact her doctor told her NO TALKING but she did it anyway. Her hard-headness turned out to be blessing in disguise and here we all are listening to her with her transformed voice. The rasp won! You Go Bonnie!

[kenteoth]

Bonnie wasn't drunk not a drug dealer or a smoker. Get off this page if you can't be respecful and you know who you are. Bonnie can sing hoever she wants. She actually reminds me of bette midler and the great Janis Joplin. So Scorpion you need to stop and go somewhere and get happy. Don't go away mad just go away. Bonnie don't need jerks like you cutting her down. Go play in traffic!

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

yes i agree bonnie is the world to us and theres no way you can change that!!!go way and respect bonnie you dont need to put people downin an to attempt to raise yourself up because nothing will break our bond with bonnie and thats coming from a 13 year old girl so i would take my addvice and leave

[jcj99degree]

i really fucking love her voice. she's a real inspiration. what can i say more bout her? she's fucking hot too. a fucking legend.

[madonnamadscion]

much better live than the original.

xD

[bonnietylerlover]

i would kill for a voice like this!!!

[bonnietylerlover]

ohh yea the 47 million copies were sold on the first day of releasal

[ARoN903]

Wow, I didn't know that little tid-bit... Just another showcase of Bonnie's utter greatness!

[N0nS3rv14m]

@poster:

"She manages to keep her voice from cracking"

OMFG, what? The rasp is a technique she can turn on and off like a light switch. That's what makes even better. She is best-in-class *at this technique*.

See Phil Anselmo. You can't do that for a year on tour by REALLY screaming. Your voice'd be gone in a week.

[ARoN903]

@ NOnS3rv14m

"The rasp is a technique she can turn on and off like a light switch." - This is very true. But when she first began singing, she couldn't really control her voice as well as she does in this video. She keeps the legendary rasp without cracking her voice, which she did A LOT in her early years.

[zaireendv]

i like the raspiness of her voice, it ROCKS!

[hunterpinarello]

She's hot and has a sexy voice.

[lauraxbraniganfan1]

she's drunk

[scoorpion88]

yuuuuuuuuuuuuk what kind of voice is that !!! westlife is better performing it i love them cioa phsyco's

[bonnietylerfan234555]

if it wasnt for bonnie westlife would be shit.

[bonnietylerlover]

westlife is shit thewy cant sing with CRAPP

[scoorpion88]

hey bonie you are right when you said if it was for bonnie, but whats the use if the song is great but the singer has a voice of a sheep ?? lol so... plus WESTLIFE is one of the biggest band ine world they sold over 35 million albums 13 no1's so fuck your self every one loves them and in my opinion i think that bonnie whats her name ??? bone lol ok she is is not a smoker no she is better than a drug dealer l

[bonnietylerlover]

shes in the guiness book of world records

sold 47 million copies of her cd total eclipse of the heart

has produced 47 albums

8 or more have gone platuinm 6 have gone gold

had the number one song of the 80s

her work was featured in 4 movies

won 3 grammies

and is still producing albums today at 53!!! bite me!!!

[bonnietylerlover]

ohh yea and this song by her has been the biggest signature songs for over 20 years!!!!!!!!!!

[jcj99degree]

well bonnie is totally awesome and westlife is fucking good too. I like then too. but they're just pop boys how can u compare a boy band with a rock star? most of westlife's songs were copied from the others. am i right? but they're good.

[EMMANUELLELIMA]

Learn English Tongue before try to write anything, because I couldn´t understand you.

Bad English. Bad typing.

Improve yourself, the very way you express yourself, then come back, saying whatever, okay?

EMMANUELLE LIMA.

BRASÍLIA-D.F.

BRASIL.

[kenteoth]

Bonnie has been in this business for over 30 years and has sold more singles and albums than many singers. I have been a fan 25 years now. You need to watch your filthy mouth dude, there are people under 18 who use this page. Have you ever got up on stage and sang?? Where are your grammy nominations, world record titles, albums and singles, gold records, and the like?? Stand in the middle of Kansas while watch a house get dropped on you!

[kenteoth]

This was supposed to attach to comments made sometime ago, I apologize for not getting the right thread

[xobonnietylerluverxo]

what are you talking about? are you saying bonnie stinks at this song?

[kenteoth]

then go on to westlife's site and get out of this one, you disrespectful undisciplined psycho!

[JenRocksx]

This is a very good video. She does sound really good, then againn.. It's hard for a smoker to not crack while singing, I know. Haha.

[bonnietylerfan234555]

shes not a smoker you idiot. back in the early 80's she had an operation to remove nodules off of her vocal chords that could have been cancer. But to be on the safe side the doctors decided to remove the nodules and after the operation the doctors told her she needs to stop talking for 6 weeks to let her voice heal properly but bonnie didnt listen. thats the reason her voice sounds raspy today and alot of her fans like her voice better this way. so you see shes not a smoker

[JenRocksx]

Alright, genius.. Then why did she admit straight to MTV in 1992 that she was a smoker?

[kenteoth]

Hmmm never saw that she recently on Las vegas radio deny denied smoking cigarette smoking and drinking whisky......so why don't u just relax and serve the hatorade to another crowd?? life is to short for arguing. She sounds great and be happy for that!

[ARoN903]

Oh come on, that's ridiculous... She never admitted to anything of the sort. Don't go making things up just to try to back up a claim that's got no balls. It's not fair to Bonnie, or her fans for that matter.

[kenteoth]

And to add to that I sat right next to her and she doesn't have smokers breath and there is no hint of tobacco on her when she was in Las Vegas 11/03/07. Aaron is right making up such stuff is so unfair and why try to bring her down when she is such a sweet woman??

[puffball9]

i belive the rasp in her voice was caused because she accidently yelled out in frustration after having surgery done on her vochal chords causing her distinct rasp, not smoking and drinnking!

[yandrfan4ever]

what show was this from? Or is it from a dvd?

[yandrfan4ever]

Sounds good.I'm glad it's the extended version and not the radio edit of it.

[kenteoth]

Me too, I love the whole version, she did it recently in Las Vegas. She sounds so much better in person than on studio edits.

[sensitivegurl]

WTF BONNIE IS AMAZING I LOVE HER VOICE

[mgranat]

OMFG there's a swedeish girl that 11 years old her name is mimmi sanden that competed i talang 2007 shes so much better surch on -sweden talang mimmi eclipse-

[vandem2]

She must have a serious sort throat. It sounds like a cat screaming behind a mall allay.

[lauraxbraniganfan1]

she does sound terrible live but i do like this one, this is the only one though!

[lindsaydawne]

It is impossible for someone to talk let alone sing if their vocal chords are taken out. She did not have her vocal chords removed, she had nodules removed that were on her vocal chords.

[pdeezie2]

nO shE had hER vOcalS taKen out And iTs amAzinG aNd shE caN stIll sIng

[Candy1567]

I love this song!

[ARoN903]

Actually, the story behind her unique voice is she had surgery to remove nodules from her throat. She wasn't supposed to speak for 6 weeks after the surgery, but chose to anyway. This gave her the raspy voice she has now. But while it sounds very unusual, it still makes her voice very distinguishable.

If you want to know what she sounded like BEFORE her surgery, listen to "More Than A Lover," "If You Ever Need Me Again" or "Bye Bye Now My Sweet Love."

[pdeezie2]

aron903 thank you so much this guy tried to tell me its impossible for someone to sing with there vocals taken out finally we have intelligent people in this world

[hunterpinarello]

Great performance. Her raspy voice is sexy, powerful, emotional, and sensual.

[monstersloose]

fair play she sounds like shes on kareoke

[lauraxbraniganfan1]

i prefer her on the album, but this sounds better than all the other things ive seen live!

[richiecockburn]

that sounds bloody terible live

[happyoka]

westlife's version is also amazing! it's the best rendition ever done by male.

[lauraxbraniganfan1]

she is a female version of rod stuart!

[guiprokofiev]

was she dying?

[sisypheansearch]

i can't think of anyone who could do a better rendition of this song...it's raw but perfect; she still sings hard from the heart...pretty voices are a dime a dozen & would ruin a song like this.

[dGmons03]

She's Drunk..

[randy33016]

dam men she 2 old men this looks like its the last time she sang

[heffylicious23]

I've noticed that she sings this song a little different Live than the way it sounds on the cd. Either way I can listen to Bonnie all the time.

[maggus999]

ofcourse it sounds different, thats the whole point, ppl want to hear the artists perform the songs without having a recording studio around them. When it sounds like the cd, the artists use playback, and thats no good

[lesseNazdomi]

I love her Voice!! so cool!!

[rday14]

her voice is dying

[harleyguy5]

Bonnie can still rock, shes the best with a voice of an angel, love her

[annebeeluverbug]

her and joplin. :). the only 2 women I know of who can actually sing like this.

[ErickMN]

Actually, a very respectable performance. Not edited/manipulated/enhanced like a in the studio...but that's not what we should expect here. Her raw, though very much in tune, voice is PERFECT for the emotion required by this challenging song.

Too bad she wasn't able to establish a real career in music. She is a talented lady.

[ARoN903]

Actually she did manage to make an extremely successful career, just not here in America. She performs in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and parts of Australia.

[ErickMN]

I didn't know that. Thank you. She deserves her success. That is good news!

[caleokat]

The woman is passion friendly...

[ArthurDilson]

Thanks for this. I've never seen her live before. It does seem a bit weak, not only her voice but the drums leave a lot to be desired compared to the studio version.

About extra verses - this actually follows the ALBUM version almost exactly. If you heard new stuff then you must have only heard the radio edit. The 6:57 album version is an awesome recording.

[cabernere]

weel what can i say her voice its so beautiful but in this performance she talk with her heart with all her sould and give the best of her a take the hat in front of this performance

[BunnyCrazy]

Several verses I hadn't heard, perfect!!

[BunnyCrazy]

Love it, much prefer the live versions than the studio edited stuff

[ROCKERBOY92]

she is freakin hottttttttt

[bouncybean03]

this performance is fabulous!!! sounds unbelievable =D i love you bonnie

[TheArvy]

omg her voice? :O

[lavenderblossom]

Wow.

That was really bad.

And this is her best song.):

[emosag]

I love this song but cant enjoy this live performance. Her voice is so raspy that it grates on my ears. I'm not criticizing her for the fun of it - I just don't think she has a pleasant sounding voice.

[ARoN903]

Yeah, she sounds better on her albums because she has an editing team to edit out any bad spots in her vocals.

[evenlittle]

Great Bonnie!!!

[fcukboy]

Not her best performance, tired voice. But the passion is there :)

[kwab]

"She manages to keep her voice from cracking for most of the song."

Are you being for real? It seemed like her voice was about to ENTIRELY give out during most of the song.

[ARoN903]

Listen to her other live performances of the song. (not ocunting the lip-synchs) You'll find that this is easily her best one.

[yorlenr]

i usually listen to heavy music and i hate pop, hip hop and shit like that..

but this voice is awesome!

bonni tylor is the best!

fuck britney spears, jessica simpson, and all that untalented shit!

give back the great talented music!

[distantm]

i agree mate

[felipeasjardim]

very nice song! thanks for up it!

[hamasakitetsuya]

I guess her voice was failing... =(

[Kikyoshere]

Yup probley it is so slow I'm used it going so fast ya know? =(
