  • Guess what? I've gained a few pounds since I first danced to this song but I close my eyes and we're all young and I can dance in my mind with people that were taken from far too early.

  • @BigTimeHomo ...OMG..You said this perfectly...I too have gained weight sadly not only age and health...but the memories that come with this song and other awesome Disco songs are so sweet, fun and bring a smile to my face, remembering yes those Thin Slim Trim days from dancing all the time, dressing up every Fri & Sat Nights in those infamous "Polyester" Dresses and Jumpsuits and we looked like ladies and Gents...even if the guys had their shirts 1/2 open & Gold hanging down..:))

  • I mean really, great singer, great person, but did she have to let herself turn into a large cow. I'm her age and I am in better shape than when I was 17, watch my diet, I'm buffed, work out harder with weights than kids 30 years younger than me. Just because you get older it is no excuse to turn into a fat pig; the age thing a a false cop out. Come on France.

  • @RTT8001 You sound like an idiot, she's not a pig

  • @RTT8001 .A cow?..You are a PIG!! She can have "Health" issues that can hinder exercise, any weight loss, increase weight i.e. meds, inability to exercise much. I'm her age too, once very slim, athletic & danced but health declined & w/meds like Prednisone, Chemo Drugs i.e. Methotrexate; Lyrica +_RA can't exercise much now, I gained too. Say Prayer of Thanks for your good health so you can be "buffed" . Remember what I've said when your words come back to bite you, it will. Shameful!

  • She may have gain weight but who hasn't.....She can still sing her ass off!

  • France, you still got the VOICE, beautiful lady!!!

  • I just wish someone could answer this question for me. I am not even in show business, yet I was determined to not stay overweight when I was young. I worked painfully hard to take off the weight and to keep it off, and now that I am 50, I can proudly say that I am still thin at a point in life where so many other people who WERE thin are now overweight. What happened in France's life in order for her to get like this? She is not just chunky, she is morbidly obese. A shame, really.

  • @telamon2011 ...STOP! What does it matter to you or anyone..why does she have to answer for her appearance..it does not change her voice..clearly hasn't!! She may have health issues, some meds put weight on even if you watch diet . some issues prevent from getting needed exercise like RA, etc...Just cause she's smiling and singing doesn't mean her life incl health is all Roses!!..Stop judging and give Prayer of thanks you've been able to maintain your "physical" appearance...

  • YES THAT IS HER NOW Keep on Singing Girl :-)

  • Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! She was fly back in the days! WTF

  • Terrific!!!!

  • Wow. She is a big beautiful lady now !

  • I would like to see all of you at her age, and see how YOU physically have change... the important issue here is that she still has the GIFT of her voice... don't Hate congratulate!!!

  • OMG IS THAT HER NOW?????????????

  • I would like to give her a big hug too, she looks so sweet and kind. I hope she will try to take care of her body so that she satays around for long. If I was her neighbour I would ring her door every day and take her for a ride on a bike or something that would wanna make her loos some weight, but she s still beuatiful, because it from the inside

  • mi favorite song of this season!!!!

    

  • Man she can still belt it out!!

    You go girl!!

  • France is awesome so stop picking on her.

  • However, She still has a great Voice & Talent, more than some of these so call artist of today!

  • @SABOREAME68 AMEN

  • O-M-F-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She looks like the girl who ATE France Joli!!!!!!!!! Fat has ruined more gorgeous women than Syphilis.

  • @brismoore : ROFLMAO!!!! .......ok - so true and soooooo funny. LOLOL

  • @brismoore does it somehow make you feel better about yourself to say such vile things?

  • Is that Ozzy ?

  • Ela continua cantando super bem...Sei que a aparência não é tudo, mas ela tá muito detonada e ela nem chegou aos 50 anos, o que assusta. Parece outra pessoa...

  • At least she has the guts to get out there and rock! And her face is still beautiful.

  • Who gives a damn. Mama still blows ya'll.

  • I don't care how big she got...she fucking ruled when I was little...she fucking  rules now.

  • Man, she used to be so thin, those damn hot pockets will do it to you.

  • All she needs is a little ephedra and good metabolism changing life style. Get in their girl. We know you got the spirit with a soul like yours!

  • Wow...All I can say is time really takes its toll on people.

    She still looks good though, even with the weight and her voice sounds great. It was just a shock, becuse I just watched the other video with her singing it from 1979.

  • France, I fell in love with your voice not your size! I don't care what your size is, as long as you can blow like this, your happy and your healthy! xoxox

  • I agree with trezz.....Lets see what they can deliver from inside....

  • she can still blow....she has got the chops for being able to deliver this song after all these years. Hats off to you, France Joli.

  • she is a human being, just like all of us.... just because she was a star doesnt mean she doesnt have faults, defects and proclivities like us all....... we all are going to grow old, fat, saggy and / or wrinkled,,,, get over your superficiality.... she is a star by any means....

  • Damn, she got BIG. How is that possible? But still the same voice.

  • God, what happened to her? She was my age back in 79 and I don't look that bad. She was so hot for several years

  • @RTT8001 artist are probably much different than other people no matter how she looks ; fat or skinny , good looking or ugly .... she is and forever will be france joly!

  • how come she to be fat like this ?

  • Look, her weight is none of my business. And, anyway, who the hell really cares? She's always been awesome to me! Today I drove from Tucson to Phoenix on business and the only thing I remember doing was listening to her greatest hits on my iPod in the car! France Joli is a Disco goddess in the music pantheon!!

  • fat but so what.. she's still rockin' !

  • I'm only 34 years old....born in 1977...Bronx, NY...and I LIVE for this! LOVE France Joli!

  • Well, I prefer to have an old singer many pounds heavier but keeping her voice in good shape (and singing her old songs in the original pitch) than some coked-up and heavy-operated vocal wreck who can't accept the golden age is over... GO FRANCE!

  • She still has amazing pipes!!

  • She can still sing though. Too bad about the weight gain.

  • she got fat!!!!!

  • hwta happened, mamita?

  • Still has the sweetest voice of disco. I don't care if she's fat: I'm too.

  • Jeez. Poor France. The years aren't been nice to her. She didn't lost her voice though....

  • What a tragedy - good voice, and she was so beautiful at one time.

  • wow her voice is the same..But its something what weight can do to a person...She was beyond beautiful back in her time

  • Elle a encore la même superbe voix...C'était le bon temps, les années 80, les belles années Disco Inferno!!!

  • @DRUMSOLO5 Heuh.... c'était pas durant les 70's le disco il me semble? Dans les 80's le genre était déclaré mort.

    M'enfin.....

  • Uuh my god ... what happened to her ?

    She looks like Karen Young.

  • a eso le llamo tener voz

  • Do you still speak your origine Language France = French? The first time you sang your one hit wonder you had 16 years old in Quebec !

    Probably you do not speak french annymore after left Quebec at 16 yrs old for Los Angeles,too bad.

    So Celine Dion still use french in her entire life!

  • I had the opportunity to share a stage with France Joli back on November 6th of '10 for Mickey B's Disco Extravaganza show in Patchogue, Long Island. France could not have been more gracious, beautiful and down to earth. Her voice, presence and stage command were unmatched and her humility was obvious. She truly loves and appreciates her fans. She's a damned good person and THAT'S what matters most. On November 6th, 2010, I fell in love with France Joli...

  • @Normsdad I have been in love with her for decades. Do you know if she married and had kids? Does she tour?

  • I live in Montreal..and she is a fellow Montrealer and oddly enough I don't think she ever performs here..great singer :-)

  • She was hot what happend??

  • Great THat she is still Doing it <3

  • immer noch eine super-super stimme!!!!

  • She still sounds terrific. Love you France.

  • Her voice is not the same, in fact, it has improved

  • She sounds GREAT! I got chills watching this.... thank you whoever posted it!

  • France still sounds as amazing as she did in '79 - and is effing gorgeous! She deserves so much more recognition and appreciation than she's received. Fan for life!

  • what i like about her is that she doesnt change the songs around like a lot of stars who sing the same song over and over again. sometimes you go, see the people you remember and its a disappointment

  • amazing how she sounds the exact same

  • wow , this concert look like a blast ,really wish i was there for this.

  • OMG!@ I can't believe sheis still singing! That's wondeful! Her vice is still great! I haven't seen her since her debut in 1980!

  • Note to Brian4043...

    ...France Joli has had hit records and has made a mark on the society of pop and dance music. She also is a genuinely GOOD PERSON. But I've never heard of you. What have YOU done? What are YOUR accomplishments?...

    ...Instead of utilizing your feeble and juvenile attempts at being funny, why don't you go crawl into a hole. And don't come out...

    Until you grow up...

    Yours truly...

    Dennis...

  • I think she ATE a few disco balls.

  • my dear god,what happened

  • Disco Ball 9 @ Trump Taj Mahal Resort Casino Atlantic City NJ on SAT OCT 16, 2010. Live in concert...Gloria Gaynor, Santa Esmeralda starring Leroy Gomez, Rob Parissi of Wild Cherry, Sister Sledge, Norma Jean Wright & Luci Martin formerly of Chic, The Trammps featuring Earl Young, Musique, Rose Royce, Anita Ward, Sugar Hill Gang, Linda Clifford, Peaches & Herb, original performance group of Lime, original village people cowboy Randy Jones, WCBS FM DJ Joe Causi & Smokin Joe Frazier.

  • Holy shit. That couldn't be the France Joli I used to listen to and get a hard-on for. Goddamn, she must've sat down and ate burger after burger instead of sing. She used to be so damn fine and now looks like a jumbo whale. But I would still do her any day.

  • OMG what happen to her it's been 30 years

  • No way this could be France Joli.  I used to work with her.

  • @blueyedsister1

    I dont even know her..LOLLL..but found song on Ramson Records label of her.."Gonna Get Over You"..

    How r uDenyse?

    Rob

  • @RobKuyper Listen to "come to me" and watch the video from 1979. One of the best Disco songs ever.

  • @pittrage

    listening back I remember "Gonna Get Over You"..

    'Come to me' was pretty much a club hit i think.

    thanks

  • COME to ButtHead huh huh heh huh...

    Wow, France Joli stills sings GREAT ! and she's a hott lady now. Cool.

    OKAY, who's the dummy that sed she was with The Mamas And The Papas ? BWAAhaha that's so stupid... FUNNY but stoopid.

    I'm all for some DECENT songwriters to give her new songs with some hit-making potential, because she's definitely not over yet, know whut I mean?

  • Great Video- Wow the Los Angeles 80's disco scene was the best!

  • Why are people dissing her,she still looks great.

  • i don't care what nobody says-weight be damned!-france is still one hot ass mama!

  • @mypuss77 still a fine mutha.

  • This is a clear example of don't fall in love with somebody's body...bodies change...so look into people's soul, at the end that's what will make you happy, or not...

  • Love it!! What a party that must have been.

  • You notice she is only singing in parts because i think she is to fat and out of breath to sing straight through, thats why the audience is singing for her.

  • @MrMatto1 DUH! She is having the men sing Tony Green's solo part, everyone else is joinin HER for her part. Wow. How mean you are.

  • She still sounds great, but damn, what happened to her? She used to be totally hot.

  • @Dietpepsivanilla what you mean what happened?She maybe picked up weight,but she's still pretty.

  • What a difference 30 some years can make. That woman recorded one of those most seductive dance songs ever. I can't even believe that this is the same woman, from 30 years ago. I have only four words: Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Drink that before eating and you will lose that weight, because unlike all those other weight loss claims...This stuff works!!!

  • @THEHUNGRYVEGETARIAN I used to use organic apple cider vinegar, and I lost lots of pounds. I'm starting again tomorrow. Thanks!

  • hey she got fat what up with that i would never put on weight like that !

  • my god what happed to your body...no exercise eating to much chicken France Joli..this is time does to you when you just sit on your butt.

  • I think France Joli had the Elvis Presley´s effect, they kept their beautiful voices but became pretty whale alike...

  • @raulchinchin baLOOOOgah !

    AAArrr, me mateys ! Harpoon tha chiggen from the sea !

  • aw right ms. joli! hot ass song then and now,and she still looks beautiful with the weight-take it from a black guy who knows!

  • Its not over until the FAT lady sings !!!!!! These songs are about hoagies and philly cheese steaks.

  • she is my sweet dream yesterday, now and forever

  • Wowww..she still a great performer,very nice, I live in Maui and I hope one day she come here for a show at MCC...Aloha.

  • sombody ate france joli

  • She better slow down on the weight. This can be deadly.

  • @messianicsephardi I know...she used to have the figure of a model..i wonder how she gained so much over the years..

  • She sounds terrific!!!!!!!! Congrats on a great performance Mrs Joli!!!

  • I wish disco music was popular again. Either that or I had a time machine to go back to the 70's :-)

    France Joly rocks!!! Viva disco!!!!

  • WTH HAPPEN TO HER ??? Damn!! Not a very good look for her...lol, but still got them killer chops though!

  • It's shame people let themselves go while aging. Stop the overeating, use your mouth for singing. Such a pretty looking girl in her youth, there's no reason for blowing up like a whale.

  • Yes I agree people are stupid they only focus on the external, France is a sweet nice woman who sings like an Angel. Who cares about her weight.

  • Too much noise on this video-does Not sound like the F.J. i know...oh my oh my...PLEASE GET A NEW RECORDING! I am thk.ful for the old ones so far!

  • I never liked this song, thought it cheap but what happened to her?

    Yes she can sing and looks good but whats her story.

  • Dang! She put on some pounds!

  • @HereIamWhatNow its been 30 years

  • Wow did she pack on some weight, wonder if from some medical issue. Regardless... she still has it. I got goose bumps listening. Just wish the camera would have shown more

  • keep you safe and warm and then some......!

  • Wow...didn't age well !

  • I was there!! in the front. this was at the greek theatre in los angeles. great disco show everybody was having a blast.

  • GREAT!!! FRANCE you are beautiful!!!

    Come to me...please!

  • She still has a great voices . your a beautiful women

  • WOW OHH MY GOSH AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  • She was cute back in the day. it's funny how you gain weight and it changes your whole look.

  • wowowo same 1979 wowowwo

    same voice !!!!!

  • This was AWESOME to see her more recently! She's fantastic! This is one of my all-time favorite songs! It's definitely great to see that she's still performing! GO FRANCE! And please... take care of yourself! God Bless her!

  • I met France a few years ago, VERY nice woman!

  • Our Disco Queen...magnifica!

  • It's amazing how her voice hasn't changed at all. She sounds exactly like she did when she was 16 years old!

    France is divine. Portly or more stylized, what matters is that she is one hell of a singer who has never been given the recognition she deserves.

  • @Elixir155 Wel not so amazing, because she just playback -))

  • @Elixir155 she was 16 when she sung that song..!!

  • omg! France you really let yourself go, but you've never lost that voice :)

  • I so agree about the weight. France's you have a great face, a bet with a big weight lose you've be right ON again. Come on girl! Will be here waiting for you cheering you on! LOVE your voice girlfriend! Just do it! Stay ALIVE for your fans!

  • I'm a huge fan of France since her beginnings, If she lost some weight she would be a super queen again.

  • I loved her when she was with the Mamas and the Papas

  • @tonydel99

    she was never with the mamas & papas
