  • can you feel it.! >:D

  • IRENE I LOVE YOU

    

  • I think the video is out of sync...it don't think she's lipping this one

  • elle a du coffre !!!

  • Good grief, this was taped in Japan - no wonder she looks like she's lip syncing. I'm sure she doesn't sing in Japanese. Japanese movies recorded in Japanese even have mouth movements that never match the words and are out of sync with the dialogue.

  • That original Diva from Sparkle...

  • she sonds like lady gaga... lol

  • @theanimelover903 Gaga ain't got shyte on this lady.

  • SHES LIP SINKING!!

    

  • @theanimelover903 And? A lot of singers synced their own music. She recorded it and it's her voice. She wasn't lip syncing in Sparkle and it's the same voice.

  • Respond to this video... So? She recorded it, it's hers to sync to. She sings on the movie Sparkle and it's the same voice, so it's hers to mouth the words to. May have had a sore throat and you know how that goes - on with the show. 

  • I wonder if Alejandra Guzman copied Irene with her "Ahi viene la plaga" video. Similar style of hair, Dance-moves, Dress, and so.

  • lady gaga has lots to learn from irene

  • Camera guy or gal checking the tetas of one the girls from the choir; nice tetas too =)

  • @Irene Cara Fine fine hair !! Awesome singer ( Live too ) !! Very good dancer !! Good looking !!

  • what a total package!she got the beauty and the voice.i always love her!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • kenge e bukur emocionuse

  • Irene did not say Black men were Gorillas Vanity said it.

  • @flashdance6666 And she was right.

  • good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she's makinng playback ...

  • seems like the audio is off with the video

  • She's like a doll - a wonderful, talented, fantastic one!!

  • She DID achieve fame!! There is no doubt about that!! A brilliant and talent woman!!

  • Chanson tres belle mais c'est pas syncro la musique et le mouvement des levres avec la video dommage.

  • 歌と口があってないwww

  • She should come out with a new album

  • @PeaceNdLovee come with a new album?? how? she wasnt shit then and aint shit now, she would be doing better today if she hadnt opened her mouth and said in Rolling Stone mag that she would never date or marry a black man.she had some nerve to make that comment when it was blk americans that made her shiftless,poverty stricken hard luck ass known with parts in Roots and other movies, now she is trying to hustle other blk singers with a group called " caramel" but sorry that wont work either

  • @vernontrumpet2000

    Wow didn't know that. What I really think "happened" to her though was that a magnificent a voice as she had she had absolutely no stage presence whatsoever.

  • What was Japan Aid 2nd... in 1987, Japan really didn't need anyone's help.

  • @adweb30

    This is BandAid Japanese virsion.

  • Thanx for liking my comment y´all!

  • I love how this was performed in 1987 and the fashion is the same as today!!

  • love this song...and this is the song i wont forget until the last day of my life..coz all of us will live Forever..in our friends heart , to the people knew us and to our Family...

    Thanks Irene Cara..!

  • I love this, thanks for the upload. These songs fit perfectly together and her voice has also helped define them as well. I love the 80s passion and energy, great decade of dance music.

  • Lauren Bacall is great! Thanks.

  • funny how she distanced herself from black americans but when it came down to getting a part in a movie like "roots" or singing in a band her ass embraced african americans like a man who hadnt touched a woman in 15yrs because of prison....opportunistic hypocritical relationship so called Boriquas and other puerto rican types have with black americans. Blacks cut her lose when they became aware of this ,thats why today she aint shit but a damn has been

  • @vernontrumpet2000 "Isn't" shit.

  • @vernontrumpet2000 how did she distance herself from black americans? isn't she cuban / puerto rican? do you mean she says she isn't black? that, "i'm not black i'm domincan crap" pisses me off, too, but i never heard it about irene cara.

  • @Diomedes22 she once said in a magazine that she would never marry a black man

  • @vernontrumpet2000 you're wrong. I remember that statement, and it came from Vanity, not Irene. Vanity made a comment about comparing a black man to a gorilla or something like that, but has since apologized for it since she is now an Evangelist. Get the facts straight man, Irene never said that. She adored her dad and has borthers as well, that would be very stupid of anyone to say something like that when she had to face her dad and borthers on a regular basis, plus her fan base!!

  • D I V A !

  • what a talent!!

  • How ironic that she is singing about fame although she didn´t achieved the amount of fame se deserved!

  • @chrizdean Very insightful. She was talented and gorgeous. There have been a lot of performers who've "passed through" with a modicum of success, but never received nearly the respect/fame they deserved. This girl is at the top of that list. BTW, did I mention gorgeous?

  • Why do the greatest singers have to be SO under-rated and so under-appreciated? Simple: the Industrial "Music" SHITSTEM is ruled by PERVERT PSICHOPATICS who only want sell ROTTEN UGLY SHIT FAKES such as Madonna and Gaga and they want made us all a bunch of billions of MOROMS with NO sense of good taste for so good things and REAL TALENTED ARTISTS such as Runaways, Concrete Blonde, Bolshoi, Blondie, Irene Cara, Sinead O'Connor, Kim Carnes, Sandra, Laura Branigan, Randy Bush, Suzi Quatro...

  • omg she looks so frantic :( What happened to her over the years... (yes, I read a few comments on her)... it's so sad.

  • @1Natasya I read somewhere that she now has a new band named Caramel.  I didn't even know about her being on coke.

  • Boricua beauty

  • for the most part she has recovered and she is performing with an all-girl band called hot caramel. i've heard them, but the band doesn't seem to do irene's gifts justice, but she is happy now. she was on a reality series with jermaine jackson on the country music network, but she left the series after an episode. i love irene, but i think the music business has really psychologically damaged her and i don't think she can handle any type of stress or conflict in her life. i'll always love IC

  • OH MAN! this is when I was just born!

  • 화끈하네요~ 야~호~*^^*

  • Did she fall over at 0:14 ? Regardless, these songs of hers rocked the 80's and are up there with ABBA as being party night songs.

  • i love irene cara and have always loved her...i remember her from television in series like roots: the next generation, sister, sister by maya angelou, aaron love angela, what's happening...as for her music, man she could have been the next donna summer. unfortunately, the music business was not good to irene at all.  they stole her money. they got her hooked on cocaine. i love her music, but i'm glad she's away from the music business if it means keeping her soul and sanity..

  • @petercox9 AAARRGGH!! This is so depressing! What happened next? Is she still performing and recovered? I thought she was the best thing in the movie.

  • she is so pretty , luv her <3

  • man i can play this song ten time better. man i wish i  was born back then... LOL

  • what a energy,what a song!!!

  • and energy and everything

  • what a voice!!!

  • do you younguns even know how BIG this song was for years after it came out. I was like 13-15. it was HUGE.

  • Shes my 29th and a half cousin.

  • 1987, yaaaaa.

  • what an awesome singer! :)

  • why is the tempo so fast?????

  • @Miltonnewyork its a disco song, probably the reason

  • @JohnHFilms oh yeah??? its a disco song? i didnt know.... but you should compare the recorded version of this song to this video, and youll see, the tempo is much faster..

  • awesome....

  • 彼女は最高です

  • completamente fora de sync

  • 口パクじゃんW

  • muy lindo ehhh el tema e irene

  • I never knew she sang Flashdance?

  • That was back in the great days when the USA was number one in the arts, with Fame school. Now, the Russians have taken over with their Mariinsky school.

  • Yeah swann, you mean because of Tatu ? I don't think so honey

  • Lena and Yulia. Not your cup of tea? :)

  • I like Tatu a lot actually

  • thought you might. :)

  • Is this a japan music festival or something else (ex; live AID)?

  • 最高!!

  • She looks good here. She really held up well over the years. These were the songs of my high school years. We loved Irene Cara. Thanks for the post.

  • Ditto on the "great voice" comments, and unfortunately, on the VERY lame crowd. Regarding ethnicity, we Puerto Ricans run the gamut of races and mixes within our ethnic group.

    Many gracias to the original poster of this vid!!

  • irene i luv youx! luv your voice

  • I Love it  xlL'

  • WAT A GREAT VOICE!

  • wot a lame crowd

  • wtf... why does it look like that woman behind the stage is singing... and irene is just... singing cept faster... wtf? problem with video? sheesh bullcrap

  • problem with the syncing, with video and audio

  • Who cares? at least u get to hear her amazing voice!

  • she is not black she is from puerto rico and a lot people dont know

  • I figured she was hispanic. Or at least maybe half.

    Thanks for clarifying

  • you've never heard of a black-hispanic before? what are you talking about?

    her dad is a dark as wesley snipes, but he was born in puerto rico. her mom was born in cuba. irene is not from the islands, her parents are. she was born in the bronx, new york. get it right before you start posting please!!!

  • Shes actually of Afro-Puerto Rican (dad) and her mother is Cuban/French...very beautiful girl..we all wanted to be like her as kids..

  • "she is not black" ignorance is very dangerous. Do you wear glasses or what, Puerto rico is populated by all races . You most have been born in mainland states. Very ignorant comment, go to school and learn your history.

  • Hi Rotena25, some Africans (black people) we shipped to places like Puerto Rico, Brazil, Cuba, etc. Irene Cara's father is described as "Afro Carribean" and her mother is a "French-Cuban American". You make a very good point that Puerto Rico is populated by all races. So is the U.S. Irene Cara seems to have a combination of racial/ethnic mixtures.

  • I hear what you are trying to say. But many black americans themselves are racial/ethnic mixture. You can be light skin and be black. Black is not only race but cultural. They way she sings and music she plays is of african american origin.

  • Rotena25, I agree with you 100%. Black people are not just one dimensional. Just like whites encompass many cultures, countries and languages, black do as well. They may be from another country, or speak other languages, but African blood still runs thru their veins.

  • Puerto rican is an admixture of races, however, Irene Caras Afrikan genes are kicking in because you can actually see the afrikan features. She is no lighter than my sister who is african american. I will agree that she has latina culture though.

  • She has west african features. Not all africans have the same features. And their is not specific latina culture or a latina. Go to europe for some latinos.

  • rotena25, calm down! She has african blood and it is obvious. There are only 3 subgroups she can belong, whether you want to admit or not. Caucasoid, Mongoloid, africoid. So that nonsense about american blacks, puerto ricans, dominican, whaterever, is a moot point. BTW Puerto Rican is not white no matter how light she is. Puerto rican is an admixture. Geesh!

  • @johnsde1 why does it MATTER what blood she has -___-

  • she is sooooooooo lip singing or the sound is late but i love this song! <3

  • its a delay on vid cuz its off by a lot nd shes too good to lip sync

  • Not playback i think , because low quality :)

  • playback ????

  • She's not lip syncing...it's just a problem with the video, there's a delay.

  • its not her real voice..

    man

    i love the song

    but not her

    =(

  • its her voice, but its live

  • ah whata 80s.

  • They blocked the Fame intro. Did she do this on purpose for money?

  • did they?

  • whit this songs I remember the hi-school....

  • amo  estas dos canciones thanks por colgarlas no sabes como la estuve buscando

  • after song when interview'd shes hoarse. she could not have been singing.

  • dont know what song shes lip syncing to but it's not the song thier playing.i can read lips.

  • she doesnt sound that good live, her voice sounds hoarse..

  • Count Whitney Houston in!

  • It's true that she doesn't sound great, but she still sounds better than most of the singers today.

  • LATINAS STAND UP!!!!!!!!

  • thats a Morena- Black women stand up!!

  • I love this song

  • que manera de apopiarse del show tan madura, unica

  • I loooove flashdance .. the movie and the

    song :D

  • So beautiful she's made herself to the occasion...

    (She should be An American Icon!)

  • I totally agree: Irene Cara DESERVES be The Great American Icon ---- instead Madonna (argh!) --- Irene Cara is PERFECT: Divine, Beautiful, Charming, Passionate, Talented, Poweful, Brillant... IRENE CARA IS THE GODDESS!

  • This is beyond perfect...

  • She's absolutely stunning! She's amazing!!!

    play69ball

  • ive met her. my ex girlfriend knew her.

  • yup,, lets pray for the day a saviour of music comes =) i know i will =)

  • i agree. i rreally wish music comes back and not crap in the future..im so not a freak for lovin the 80s =)

  • i absolutely love her outfit

  • I like skateboards, but I don't spread it around on the interyoutubenet.

  • The dubbing is off or something.

  • quelle robe...horrible mais la chanson est super

  • i don't see her as a great voice never have she's just a energectic entertainer.a actreese who sings'''/ kinda like a judy garland with soul.

  • its not her its the guy who uploaded this

  • The timing is off because, and Im no expert, on such a big stage

    she cant exactly tell if she's singing in time cuz theres so much happening around her on stage (reflections etc.)

    But they should fire those background singers-LOL!

  • super perfecto

  • regine velasquez made a remake of this song with a lot of justice!!

  • By the way...the timing of the vocals are a little off. LOL!

  • She looks and sounds great in this clip! Irene Cara ROCKS!

  • I've spent all day listening to the number 1 hits since January 1, 1955. And so far, all of the top music is GREAT! I'm afraid to leave the 80s and enter the 90s because I feel that is when all music just became garbage, money-making propaganda.

  • Whats the deal with YouTube and video/audio sync? Tons of great videos are turned to shit because of it.

  • those audience are the most stubborn people i've eva seen. c'mon ...fucking dance....she's Irene Cara.If i were there i'd be like ..wooooooo....

  • I know they stand there doing nothing!

  • God,... what happend with music ? why the music of now is so bad ??? i love old music.

  • grotesque playback !! nul.

  • irene cara is the best.. shes pretty as well.. one of a kind! hmmmm

  • Esto es deprimente, me entristece ver a Irene Cara cantando con una banda de baja categoría. ¿Qué le pasó a esta chica?

  • Irene is a class act! Always loved her performaces...

  • she is the greatest and flashdance...what a feeling is my fave song of all time. Its so catchy

  • Irene Cara is the greatest!

  • Irene Cara is the greatest!

  • that's playback... cos apparently she doesnt even know the lyrics of the song,or then she's singing something totally different but something isnt right there for sure!

  • hahahahaha the sound is off from the video, its a technical difficulty with youtube LOL do you not really know who she is? she's an amazing talent lol trust me she's singing, its just a tech. problem with the video and audio ^-^ you can't tell?

  • for some odd reason i luv these two songs and im not even an 80's hahaha well i am but i was wayy to young to remember anything before 89

  • Glad you like her music. It proves you don't have to be from that era to like the music. Which is why so many people still like the Beatles.

  • yeah i totally like alot of 80's and 90's music lol it feels so funny to consider 90's music oldies cus i grew up with it lol
