[uberdedoo]

Amazing

[CartoonsAndGameShows]

Wish this song would've been a hit here in the USA.

[QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER]

Rick belongs to ST.HELENS!

[OtomoTenzi]

Oh my fucking god, what a goddamn bullshit generation of retarded shitheads and talentless fucks... :  P

THIS here is a fine example of what REALLY GOOD music should sound like, and it shows us how it's done to perfection!

[Alyssa0401]

His songs makes me smile, happy, dance, fall in love ....he has a great voice , sexy , he is so good .still have the same humour ....... love his smile, and that great voice. so funny to have him as a friend on FB . see what his up at the moment ... ya his still singing .

[Sora2314]

Sounds like hes lipsyncing because it sounds just like the original, and you can hear the special effects in the voice. But hes still awesome :3

[Alyssa0401]

[felixesco07]

rick astley is awesome

[edrezeva]

viejas pero buenas

[eltoncharles]

rick 4rever.respect from brazil.

[supercreamysperm]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this song. The tune is great, Astley has a great voice, and the 80s were a marvellous time for music.

[dawgsnsuch]

looks like 2 people dont know good music

[Enkei1989]

Always a classic for whenever you feel like dancing out of your bathroom, naked. :)

[Biscom]

Ricks songs are great.

[ArbyArthur]

agreed

[fanofprotopic]

he always looks SO uncomfortable. I suspect he doesn't the music he's doing.

[popactor]

@fanofprotopic Yeah force to lipsing, i would uncomfortable especially when he knew he had a great voice and by the way if you researche on the net, Rick has been touring for two years and yes...singing these same songs but live!

[Jack1790849915]

Shut the fuck up. Seriously.

[83Brokenwings]

I had a crush on him when I was like, 4 or something!! I was like "Mummy I'm gonna marry Rick Astley when I grow up"!! lol! Nowadays I don't find him quite so appealing!!! Still, his music is so cool compared to much of today's garbage!

[boybblue]

He is hot, better tahn jackson /ç(r.i.p) and more man¡

[OblivionKnight457]

I'll bring my love to you

I'll bring my love to you.

I've been stood up and messed around and taken for a fool

But next time round I'm gonna change the rules.

And I don't care about things that people say

It's you I think about each and everyday.

It's much too late for you to change your ways

I can't keep holding on expecting you to stay.

When you're all alone and if you're feeling down

Call me I'll be around!

[JimmytheTexan1441]

oh and did you know hes Irish?

[vascorocks]

I just saw him at Here and Now show, he was fantastic!!!

[makaveli5245]

what a great tune, this has got to be rick's best hit!

[krayzgerman]

This reminds me of Simply Red, also underrated.

[Ragitsu]

Am I the only male Rick Astley fan? I only ask, because it seems all, if not most, fans of his are female.

[chrizdean]

No you are not

[CANBERRACOURTBOY]

no you aint i met him when he played in leeds in 2004 nice bloke

[NOAHofDEATH]

I wouldn't be surprised of u were lol. He sux :D

[neillorentzen]

I love Rick Astley and this is my favorite song of his. I even have the 12 inch vinyl of this from back then.

[Ragitsu]

Glad to hear that.

[45calibermedic]

@Ragitsu Nah. Count me as another.

[lesfree]

it's better o'chi brown's version

[OblivionKnight457]

i was born in 1995 :P i would've loved the 80's

[PcROX123]

lol thats soooo 80s

[strike1977]

Love Stock Aitken Waterman!!!! Bring them Back!!!!!!!!!

[StarChaser08]

forgot to mention - in concert - people did sing live (again, except for milli vanilli), but on these TV shows, it was all lip syncing.

[StarChaser08]

Can we put this to rest??? YES - He is lip-syncing. For those of you born AFTER 1985 - this is just what singers did. EVERYONE did it. EVERY singer - across the board. Check out the American Bandstand shows from the 80's. Check out Solid Gold. This is not news. It's not like there was a choice...hmm..should I lip sync or sing live??! I mean, how many people besides milli vanilli would have actually chosen to lip sync?

[shoyrufan999]

I'm sad he's lip-syncing this though :(

[428andChuey]

Haven't heard this song in a long time. This is one of my favorite songs =)

[yoyoboypo123]

add &fmt=18 to view in high quality

[duney]

...or press the high quality button

[Shverina]

I LOVE this song!!! He has an absolutely gorgeous voice and YES, he did have some very cute rhythem with his dance moves. Very under-rated.

[fuelsavergirl69]

sure thing Ricky what's your phone number??? hehe

[yoyoboypo123]

awesome

[unclescrumple1]

everyone get together and bring back the 8os.....be nice wouldnt it

[lynjef7]

Rick is so beautiful just love him.

[creaturebotman]

You know.. I got Rick rolled and rediscovered this guy..you know..he is pretty good..I think he needs a good producer like a Quincy Jones to bring him up to date.

[MrsMJFox]

man i love his songs.....i wish young people who like 80s songs would stop facing so much discrimination; these songs are cool!!!

[duney]

I'm 21 and love '80s songs and in fact, I'm having an '80s themed barbecue party at the weekend - I'd NEVER hide the fact that I listen to music from the '80s...listen to your '80s music with pride!

[duney]

Wow, if that was a reply to me then you have a pretty warped interpretation if what I just said....the 80s is the best decade! unfortunately others see it in a completely different way.

[67tr876]

@duney no all i was saying was dont let no one to you what you like sucks. i love the 80s stand up for what you love. man thats all :) i love the 70s and 80s to you know.

[67tr876]

@MrsMJFox hey man i dont care what the kids say to me. i love the 80s ! they just missed out on a good time with great muisc !

[strike1977]

I love this Track! Wish that Stock Aitken Waterman would make some new tracks for 2008 and onwards!!! Miss Them!

[bmrocks59]

Rick is an absolute doll! still looks great and his voice hasn't really changed... hopefully he'll be coming to Toronto - April 2009, can't wait!

[djames4488]

this song was always my favorite Rick Astley song. Thanks for posting!

[elissalpz]

born 06 feb 1966 young forever !!!!!!!!!

[shazam2121]

@elissalpz  exact bday as ma dad :D

[whelshguy]

he is in his early 40's now.

[lukealexandersulliva]

"Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Whenever You Need Somebody" are my two favorite Rick Astley songs!

[SuperSmashbroskid]

Mine Too

[lonelymanfromthepast]

I love Rick and I love this song!

[havanasting]

hes extremely bad at lip synching lol, i gurantee hes not singing there, regardless of whether or not its his voice or not

[RustySacks]

Shows like Top of The Pop are always lip synced to album tracks or are re-recored by the artist. Sometimes the backing tracks are recorded by people who work for TOTP and the vocals are done live.

[icyrazor]

he kinda can make it believiable but, everybody lip syncs in music videos and concerts

[VABkWrm]

I always remember my first born, about 18 mos at the time this was on US radio, would wriggle back and forth to this song, and sing "oh-wo-wo!"

[mrmoore1970]

Nice! But this only a REMAKE of Ochi Brown's "Whenever You Need Somebody." Does anybody O'Chi Brown's version of this song? Thanks for posting this clip!

[bmw8792]

never heard of Ochi Brown

[valandbooda]

O'Chi Brown was a female R&B singer during the 80s, her video was played frequently during the mid 80's on the BET network.

[sistex]

the best singer in 1981 until 1995

[BOSOX9004]

Who was the best singer after 1995?

[tmd02]

he left the music buisness in 1995

[kamikase2006]

chris cornell...xd  hahahha

[turner60]

He looked like the cartoon character Tin Tin with that hair do he had.

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

Excuse me,my hair is exactly the same!

[mononokehime316uk]

Im in shock this great song is twenty years old. Im only twenty four but suddenly feel so old lol.

[lestarimerah]

Some songs are meant to be evergreen.. It doesn't requires u to be in certain age to enjoy and appreciate these kind of songs.. Even my lil' sister 5 years younger then u knew this song... Love Rick forever..!!!

[XxkimxX17]

I Love His Deep Singing Voice !

[naturalproperty]

He sure doesn't like lipsinkin...

[BOSOX9004]

Yeah he's lip-syncing, but who give a shit!? It's fucking Rick Astley baby!

[enikavicsos]

Yeah, on this video he looks like ate a sour pickle ...if he sings live, he always smiles, making faces and happy. Enjoys the music. Lip sing or not his voice is lovely.

[loudchicgal]

love the video! Rick is yummy.

[engreena]

So glad this video is on again, one of my favourites. Who was the meanie who reported it?
