Laura Branigan - "Self Control" (1984) LIVE

[rawventas]

de la conchasumare

[MystikWizard]

Brilliant in distracting the audience of her flub in going out to them as she repeated the verse at the beginning. What a pro.

[MrAndreina1990]

ben riuscita anche questa

[ohrofax]

oh oh she was to often on their way, in the night and now her voice dont hit some tone

[MrAndreina1990]

ben riuscita canzone anche con la Branigan

[keskinadem]

During my teenager years I used to listen this song, even I didn't know good Eng. to understand the lyrics. So, years after, I got the meanings. I didn't find that good the lyrics but the song still remains in my memories.

Greetings from an old-boy Laura, I hope you hear me.

cool

This goes to show how a GOOD singer just goes with the flow... You can tell early on that she was aware of the lyric error, and she just kept on going and made it sound like that is how it was supposed to sound... She didn't freak or panic... Perfect.

[Shonaripa]

doesnt look like 1984, this is later

[7466309change]

yes she was quite beautifull.

[jucurtis23]

R.I.P. Laura.....you were such a beautiful woman.....love the music......

[guperro]

thanks for the video! although ytour watermark could be a little more discrete :)

[BobbyTwoTimes]

She's so sweet all the comments are about how nice she is and it's not a problem if she got mixed up. She's quite generous going to see the people in the audience and having some fun with them. Great human being.

[elnako209]

Great song Thanks for posting this video.

[bertiejr]

nice,,,this is ACTUALLY live

[tragedy224]

she seemed kinda shy in the begining but it still a great performance!!

[patriotnzbg]

top hit from 1984 all around Europe!!!

[Mateo7800]

Great to see the LIVE performance of this fantastic song. We miss Laura so much. I hear her songs almost every day. Such a good, strong voice!

[kbittner]

and the fact that she's singing to a track meant she had to save herself--no band to help out! Yikes!

[telmocarmo]

class

[diginymph1]

LOL, love the fact that when she realized she made an error she just smiled it off and carried on entertaining the crowd!!

[cloudysky115]

oh what? I heard that quite clear she got confused and inevitably mixed the lyrics...instead of singing the first refrain ended up singing the chorus twice!!... In my opinion I think she still brought it out very well!!!...that's what you called a real performer...but I can't forget the look in her face at 1:02-1:03 she knew she made a mistake but then she smiled at 1:05 instead...damn she's cute...

[retroguy1976]

r.i.p. laura branigan =( this was an awesome song

[TheTabloidMix4U]

Singing lyrics at the beginning didn't go too well, she got it mixed up but she looks lovely and she seemed very nervous, she looks very caring towards people, a very warm enthusiastic person!!!

[gwashingmachine]

DEFINETELY!

[churchy1ify]

@gwashingmachine Thank's for sharing this video. It's rawness is beautiful. Laura is much missed

[time2act1001]

@TheTabloidMix4U.... we have to thank our lucky stars as over the weekend every studio version of this terrific song has been blocked ...something like 10 of them by various ' interests'.... If she was with us she'd have a fit I'm sure.... thanks for the post....

[churchy1ify]

@time2act1001 the studio versions are back online as of today thank goodness. Thank goodness for people like gwashingmachine though, at least we have been able to keep getting our Laura fix. Tip for next time....try typing in "self control lyrics", there are loads of videos to listen to :-)

[gilimiligili]

Look at her face at 1:00 , she is really nervous.

P.S. Thanks for the upload.

[jett2005]

[gwashingmachine]

[jett2005]

[Hsncn93]

Thats was funny :D :D

[gwashingmachine]

Well, It Was A Pretty Big Audience!

And By The Looks Of Things Many Many More Were Watching On TV.

Being Nervous Is Perfectly Understandable, But She Managed To Pull Off Yet Another Great Performance!

Thanks For Commenting!

[sookie2007]

Wow she must have been real nervous, I have never seen Laura fumble with the lyrics this bad before. not to mention singing live can really put a toll on someone. Still a great performance from her!!
