[missjazzynotes]

If Robert smith was to leave a comment then everyone would be like leaving comment after comment lol and then he wouldn't even have a chance to reply because of all the comments lol 

[missjazzynotes]

[ItsOttis]

this is just fucking awful, he looks like a dope head. studio version ruined for me now:(

[Olivia3078]

Vaya estoy viendo a Robert en este video y mmm no sé como que tengo pensamientos pecaminosos con él jajajaja. Realmente esta muy antojable y no veo y lo veo y siempre hay algo que me gusta de él aunque l haya visto tantas y tantas veces vaya es hermoso el tipo. Ñammmm

[Shopola]

On the bonus disk of Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me there is a live version of this song with, i think Frank Sinartra lyrics(?) in the middle. Does anyone know where I can find it on the internet?

[YeahImFromThe80s]

I'm gonna be Robert Smith for Halloween!

[jamespolitano1992]

@YeahImFromThe80s shit i went this year as him too!

[Walkthisway1993]

i swear i love this guy <3

[nhadz16]

he's so oddly beautiful...

[KawaiiCakei]

I love the little dances he does <3

[Olivia3078]

Grrrrrrrr lo amo !!!

[YeahImFromThe80s]

THE best version of this song yet! His voice is flawless.

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Your comment was removed, but I totally agree!!! Not many people can fluctuate their voice like that-freaking amazing! I'm addicted!

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 nice!

[TheSnoopy1750]

@YeahImFromThe80s Glad you liked it - my new favorite version is from a Canadian girl who made her own video with high quality sound.

Not In Love - Crystal Castles (ft. Robert Smith) Nanalew

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Wow she made that?? Nice! Robert Smith's voice is epic. Have you voted of The Cure yet? They're still at #3 :(

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Probably because you copy and pasted the link that I posted-that happened to me as well. YouTube wont allow links to be posted into comments so I'll send it to you as a message.

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 That's exactly what I said. Especially the RHCP lol that's a joke.

[TheSnoopy1750]

@YeahImFromThe80s Got it - just had to follow the site to the voting area. The Cure still #3 but I did my part.

Do they normally just induct the top 5 by popular vote?

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Great!

I have no idea...

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Yep I did post it in others, but it won't let me post the entire link... it shows up as an error :( Hopefully people will be smart enough to go through the site to find it lol. Yep I posted it in all of their top videos.

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@TheSnoopy1750 Yeah that's true, I'll do that. Thanks!

[TheSnoopy1750]

@waytobluee He can look and sound any way he wants - he's Robert friggin' Smith!!! The man is a once-in-a-generation talent.

[waytobluee]

@TheSnoopy1750 never said he couldnt.just said he look like a faggot

[TheSnoopy1750]

@waytobluee Sure, he looks a little (a lot) gay here but you can't deny his immense talent and free spirit.

[waytobluee]

@TheSnoopy1750 of course not he is indeed very talented :D

[nosajrekab]

I just love him....

[CaseyCain85]

Did he say 'hello poppet' at the end or am I hearing things?

[YeahImFromThe80s]

@CaseyCain85 yep lol.

[valdesgonzalo]

Awesome performance ! ! !

[thearken97]

Why can't I be Robert Smith wearing a Betty Boop t-shirt?

[mrcorvo]

Crystal like voice. So lovable and so adorable.

[tummanmusta]

Come here Robert, I'll hug YOU to death. (Maybe not death, but you got my point.)

[EillakNnaws]

why can't i be mary poole?

[SofiiaLetooSmiith]

the thing I love most of robert smith is his sexy voice!!! and then his beauty hahaha

[YoungerCsillagpor]

They don't give a f... about playback. :D

[mondiablue]

OMG I'm hyperventilating.

[andybondoir18]

hes a darling :3

[luiscastro1977]

In case no one has noticed, they are doing playback. Only Robert is singing live. Lol can barely play the keyboards, much less the trumpet.

[SatiaroVV]

simply elegants

[gorion79]

I've never understood the label of 'Gothic' or 'emo" in terms of the Cure. They're such a cheerful, and upbeat band. Many of their songs I can see people dancing to.

[BirdMadGirl39]

Robert is such a doll!! His smile stops me in my tracks and melts my heart!! Love that gorgeous man!! The Cure forever!! ♥♥♥ :)

[tajhau]

loove them

[uglythings]

Best performance of this song.  It kills me. SO good.

[llrjour]

LOVEEEEE IT

[llrjour]

Everything Rob sings "is quite delicious!" NEVER tire of this tune. :D

[strangeboy01]

Simply elegant!!!

[theunhappyhours]

i love this song./

[rafmi]

this broadcast sucks! One of the worst show ever on French TV!!! It says much on how famous Cure had become then in the world... if the worst of tv had to "adopt" them!! Ah! ah! But definitely not the best you d want to see Cure in public...

[rayito2005]

Rob is a chubby man but i like him.

[filbunk]

his voice.....it's so dis gu s t i n g l y perfect!!

[ENC13ROX]

THIS kids is emo

[QueenClitora]

The man has absolutely zero stage presence but you can't help but love him.

[ihatecurehaters]

Robert is so gorgeous!! Man alive!! Could that man be any more hotter than he is? I think not!! He just melts my heart!! What a true dream he is!! ILY Robert!! ♥♥xoxo

[darkrebel09]

Robert you are so gorgeous I'll do anything..... you are so perfect <3 <3

[BlackBembel]

@darkrebel09 For me YOU are <3 <3 <3 Kuss

[darkrebel09]

@BlackBembel My baby you are so adorable and gorgeous my sweet baby KUSS KUSS

[BlackBembel]

@darkrebel09 YOU, You, Youuuuuuuuuuu so gorgeus, i do anything mi bebe, KUSS KUSS KUSS <3 <3 <3

[darkrebel09]

@BlackBembel To me you are the best of the best my love KUSSSS

[Arturo1987dx]

Este video esta más xvr!!! =D

[FleshHungryFiend]

pretty good band overall but robert smith is obv gay and he h8s morrissey cuz he jelous of his dance moves and style and class

[nayen96]

@FleshHungryFiend I don't think he's gay, he's just very smart, image sells you know? so what's more entertaining to look at than Robert Smith? plus it's his personal style, something so many people have tried to copy and failed, I could easily copy Morrisey's look, it's simple and I understand why he hates Morrisey, I hated him even before I knew about The Cure.

[steveraff01]

@FleshHungryFiend He isn gay he is married to his wife since like the 80's or somethin :L

[wolfemmpress]

@FleshHungryFiend you're obviously clueless. >.> Robert Smith has been married to his wife since 1988.

[aforest86]

i think they weren't amused about performing with pre-recorded playback instruments ... cos they are a real good live band.

[Sonicmale]

Yeah. All instruments are "playback; pre-recorded".. That's what happens when they get close to exhaustion..... and little TV programs can't pay enough.  The voice was live.....

[magdala91]

Robert is the best improviser of the world! I love their live concerts..

[tabbythenut]

Robert is definitely my favourite person in the world right now. -3

[sagnyc]

Live vocals, lip-synced instruments? Seems like it. Vocals certainly different from the single/album. Plus he seems to forget the words at the end of the 2nd verse. He was ALWAYS forgetting the words to this one when singing it live!

[LoffleMe]

@sagnyc lip-synched instruments? :D

[SeriouslyRandom20]

Robert smith has one of the. Best voices ever

[bx944]

LOVE THE CURE ONE OF THERE BETTER SONGS UPBEAT THE GUYS PLAYING THE HORN WAS STRICTLY FOR VIDEO THE ORIGINAL SONG WAS ALL KEYBOARD WELL AT LEAST THE PARTS WHERE THE HORNS PIECES WERE EITHER WAY DAMM GOOD NUMBER WHICH WAS ON THE ONE WE ARE SOUTHERN CAL THANKS FOR POST.

[mmxstarr]

Why can't I be with him?? omg he is so sweet!

[peetrwilson]

Yeh, I'm pretty sure he is singing to a recording... while they are the Cure, they were also victims of the eighties... haha

[Abstract67]

@peetrwilson i was thinking that they were playing a little too good for playing live and with only one trumpet

[sweetpotatoefish]

he can be both super cute and super sexy at the same time!

[roadsideflowers]

There are no amps connected to the instruments o_o That makes me sad if they're playing to a recording.

[cmclsrnsee]

@roadsideflowers robert is singing live...

[damycityrocker]

Who's playing the trumpet?

[monica2505]

@damycityrocker playback i think

[MrSKINFLICK]

@monica2505: except Robert´s voice i guess...LOL

[monica2505]

@MrSKINFLICK yes, i agree...

[maleficrose]

@monica2505 are you crazy?!?

[tdscrz]

god i love him

[TommyTheCommi]

Yeah alot of tv shows want bands on their stage but dont want them messing up or doing anything different then what is meant to happen so they just have them play along with a recording.

[8watawat]

why i can't be ROBERT SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??

[Cyrraeve]

Yeah, it has to be a playback on the music, none of the guitars have any amp wires coming from them, lol I love it just the same anyway.

[JaveDMode]

The music is being 'lipsynched' but who in the hell cares? This is great stuff!

[girlwhodestroyed]

Robert is so gorgeous, amazing voice, song and everything, it makes me hungry for him

[Kurokuunheart]

the trumpet player came in late, so he's not really playing is he?

[slyvester117]

He has one of the wierdest voices, but it is so cool....

[UbermenschTheory]

Yes, the shirt is fine...I also love it when he wears big white marshmellow sneakers =)

Does he say "hello quebec...."?!?!

[ausserweltliche]

at the end of a long, boring, difficult day at the office, i wish i could jump up on my desk and flail about whilst singing this song, just like THAT.

[ThePlacebocure]

Why can't i have a time machine ??? SOOO DRRREAMYYYYYY.....

[mariano1386]

Quite enjoyable

[viobloodvolkhan]

Why Can´t i be you Robert Smith??

[lmsypj]

what a cool version!

[SuperTrickydicky]

why can't robert smith be everywhere?

[omtara]

I love him, but that big baggy Betty Boop shirt needs to go.

[arrisfilms]

@omtara don't tell him how to dress

[LateralisUndertow]

@omtara He is the only man that can wear lipstick,eyeliner & a baggy Betty Boop shirt & still be awesome!

[fantomuerte]

Purée, alors là j'avais 13 ans et j'étais raide dingue de R. Smith... Je me rappelle bien avoir vu cette émission, mes yeux étaient grands ouverts et ne clignaient pas !!! 23 ans plus tard, je trouve toujours Robert Smith croustillant et sexy à souhait (bah ouais je fais partie de ces filles qui fantasment sur les hommes manièrés et alors ???). N'empêche que lors de cette emission, notre chevelu préféré était particulièrement en forme...

[sanctorumdj1]

awesomeness!!!

[Arturo1987dx]

Terrific!

[AiyanaSP666]

I love how they have recorded music, and Robert's live singing :)

[ratayska]

la magie CURE LOVE

[caterpillargirl84]

Robert, why can't I be YOURS??? <333

*sigh*

[FantazmaYaqui]

[aclopezestrada]

Most original vocalist in the history of music!

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

[xxplankanxx]

He is one of a kind (L)

[MartaLovesPoirot]

I love the way he sings, so wonderful and original. :)

And totally cool.

He can do such amazing things with his voice, and he does. Beautiful <3

[colormydaisy]

AHHHHHHHH he's so cute

[NekoChanSenpai]

This vid proves it! Robert Smith is the moste hard-core person EVER!

KICK-ASS!

[sorayalis]

It is so fantastic....Robert is great!!

[sweeney48307]

Cure Rocks!

[83Brokenwings]

@sweeney48307 too true!!!!!!!!

[RiseingWithTheFallen]

i didnt listen to music like this at all. i listened to hard rock and metal some stuff but never this..

til i watched KoRn unplugged with the cure make me bad/ inbetween days it was amazeing.. so i looked for the cure more and ever since then i listen to them all the time xD love them now :D

[L3ft2D13]

The cure is..............THE CURE!!

[davidguaita]

Long life the Cure.

[juniebird72]

Robert is such a gorgeous man i must say. I have loved him for 24 years now. I absolutely love the cure. I have only listened to their music since i discovered them 24 years ago. their music is just so unique. I have raised my children on the cure since they were born and introduced my husband to the cure as well. We are all huge cure fans and my children wear their "Cure" shirts to school with absolute pride dispite the majority of kids in their school have no idea who the cure is. Sad really!

[Hardcoreehh]

Isn't it sad. I'm grateful my parents introduced me to good music like this when I was very young. And I'm only 16 but I listen to Led Zeppelin, The Clash, The Cars, The Cure, etc etc. I'm glad you've introduced your kids to it, I think what everyone is listening to these days is pushing classics like The Cure into the dark. Crying shame, really.

[juniebird72]

Thanks for your comment Hardcoreehh. i think its very cool that you love all that music. I was raised on all the cool music from the past and when i found the cure 24 years ago that was it for me. I just love them and that is why it was important to pass it onto my children. I think what is sad is when my daughter wears all her "cure' attire to school(she's 15) the kids always ask her if that is an "Emo" band. Her reply to them is"no you fool, its the coolest band ever.too bad you dont know.":)

[xmagicxx01]

fuck the way your raised , the music don't make you better. Its the way you take things around you and how make it. GET A LIFE HOE!

[XPUPA]

@xmagicxx01 SIMPLEY NOT APPRICIATED ON THIS SITE..GO AWAY AND B HAPPY IN YOR STUPIDITY.POZZ

[RiseingWithTheFallen]

i didnt listen to music like this at all. i listened to hard rocka nd metal some stuff but never this..

til i watched KoRn unplugged with the cure make me bad/ inbetween days it was amazeing.. so i looked for the cure more and ever since then i listen to them all the time xD love them now :D

[XINDIOS]

I wish you were my mum!

[juniebird72]

@ XINDIOS Awe , that is very sweet and kind of you to say! You sound like an awesome person! I am so glad you are a cure fan! The Cure Forever! :))

[MrsGothicDaisy]

[Seelenschmerzz]

Robert is amazing

[Badaponte]

*-*

[57Amstaff]

the cure que du bon !!!!!

[lustreboy]

hehe brilliant

look at Simon, bored as fuck ;)

clasic pop beauty!

[jgzero23]

i just want to know why the band isn't really playing... was it a common thing for bands to do on some shows?

[karlmata]

yep bands never played live in those days only vocals were ever live and the cure used to hate it

[tresh700]

he should be beatiful girl..

[chummy27]

como dije hace dos años.. todavia me encanta este temita.. y el recuerdo es el mismo.... todavia la amo.....con la vira..

[TheTroubleWithKathy1]

Bob Smith...wow amazing artist...saw The Cure many times..and I am older...now hahaha...BUT still luv them...thanx for this..beings back memories..of fantastic times and a fanatastic time to have been a little younger...cant turn back the clock...but..thanx again for making me smile....

[clm80sgirl]

What an wesome version! So old, so classic. I love the improv. Is this on any CD?

[clm80sgirl]

I meant 'awesome' , not 'wesome'.

[darkrebel09]

You are so perfect, so delicious Mr. Robert Smith.

[SeleCure]

yay <3

[elalella]

2.37...2.38 very nice!

[pinkeyes1972]

I've seen Robert in the 1989, and my life have been changed forever!!

[elalella]

I know what it means....

[XxxxxDarkBabyxxxxX]

It's not playback. I have a CD with 'why can't I be you' and it's not similar to this song ;3

Robert is just really talented! ;D

[iskanderr]

Of course it's play back, except for the vocals, and yes, Robert is the best!!!!

[elalella]

I think Robert's changed the lyrics, he's really adorable! Cheers from Italy!
