  • excelente version de piazolla (creo que la apreciaria mucho si viviera)

  • poor POOR Piazolla...

  • beautiful dark skin, high cheekbones, aristocratic nose...so beautiful!

  • Where is James Bond?

  • I never realised that this was a cover version until recently. Well atleast the music is. I have added this to my FB group dedciated to cover versions. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" Feel free to join in.

  • I don't see the big deal with Lady Gaga vs. Grace Jones. Grace Jones always has and always will be the queen. Lady Gaga is fine but it's not really a point of comparison for me...

  • she was good but (,as usually english speakers do) just make a mess about music... this tango is argentinian( a. piazolla? ) and she pretend to makes believe the people is french or something..

  • kay12may como puedes tu aceeptar tan desprecio de esta gran cantante te felicito por aber subido este gran video

  • I love her mysterious style ....

  • Grace JOnes face alone would put GA GA to shame. Grace is a peice of art. I do like GA GA but to me she looks like the witch in the wizard of oz.

  • dios mio esta mujer me hizo dormir y encima dice que lady gaga le robo?? ajajaj lady gaga es una artista!!! completa baila canta toca, esta grace es una catante con suerte

  • @tomi6368 queres q te diga una cosa esta mujer es una grande de la musica no como las cantantes de ahora q solo tocan temas sin sentido aperte la musica de antes no heran nosivos como las de ahora , asi q antaes de hablar de una gran cantante primero interiorisate cuando te interiorices rrecien hable

  • @tomi6368 No se que edad tendras o que habras esuchado de mas chico. Pero esta es una gran pieza musical, y si sos fan de Gaga, tendras el oido mas acostumbrado a ruidos mas fuertes y violentos seguramente. No hay necesidad de hace runa coreografia, romper algo, gritar, o enloquecerse para que algo sea bueno en realidad. Es una lastima que no sepas apreciarlo.

  • Gaga sucks, wake up people.

  • so the accordian is just docoration?

  • Gaga did not steal her style in no way i looked at the claimed photos each woman to their own style shut up and enjoy the music

  • Why you say Gaga stole her style, in which way?

  • @Thepomafame in every way possible. do some research

  • First Black lady to Dance at la follies en France - whom was asked can you talk,

    she replied, fluent French, Italian ,Spanish, Arabic, and I live in New York.,

    She also asked, are you a banker ?

  • Cantar foi um acaso, uma brincadeira na vida de Grace Jones ( para nossa sorte) pois ela era uma grande modelo, sua figura é por si só um icone da cultura pop.... da pop arte

  • gosto de musica em todas as linguas, que tenham ritmo , mojo, swing, o que quiserem, pessoa não entrei aqui para ler o que escreves, entrei aqui para ouvir Grace Jones, tentei dar uma resposta educada em respeito aos outros comentários, aos outros hermanos, alias nem devia ter resondido ao teu 1º comentário, chamou a great Grace de grossa, NÃO MERECIAS MINHA RESPOSTA MAS GOSTO DE ME PROCURAR SARNA PRA ME COÇAR PRA SAIR DO TÉDIO

  • soy

  • BRAVO,SINDA SEM IGUAL BRAVO

    JOAO

  • ella es unica , (no creo que a nadie le importe si el tango es con acordeon o con bandoneon). Ma alla de su voz ,hay algo mas. Lastima que no tiene trayectoria.Y si la tiene no la conozco.

  • @soledad01 importa en la medida que siempre se lo toma al tango como genero frances y europeo cuando sus raices son latinoamericanas, es sacar al tango de su contexto de producción. La calidad sonora es otra, no quiere decir que no pueda tocar con acordeon pero si tiene que estar fundamentado

  • fiasco

  • es una grosa esta mujer el problema que el tango es con bandoneon no con acordeon!!!!

  • @mlayelendiaz O mal da maioria dos paises latinos americanos é a falta do tempero, da mistura negra como ocorre no Brasil que consequetemente tem um idioma gostoso de ouvir, e uma música rica, ainda bem que os argentinos estão abrindo as portas e pernas para esta mistura com o negro, com o rap é o caso de gotan project , argentinos abram o tapete vermelho para Grace Jones, o melhor de vcs é Piazzola e Mercedes Sosa que infelismente morreram, assim acrescentarão nomes nesta lista mui pequena

  • @msuranio235 mira el portugues me encanta, me encanta la musica brasileña, pero me parece que estas errado en tus conjeturas. el tango tiene raiz negra, como el candombe, la murga uruguaya, la cumbia colombiana, la musica peruana, la sacha boliviana, etc, el tambor ah tenido diferentes rumbos a lo largo de toda america latina y se ha configurado de manera diferente según al lugar donde haya ido a parar, comparar culturas en terminos de superioridad o inferioridad me parece una mersada

  • @msuranio235 y continúo. La lista de buenos músicos en argentina es larga y muy variada, la diversidad de géneros musicales es variada, que tu conozcas poco de música argentina o latinoamericana, no te da autoridad para hacer critica musical. Si te puedo decir que argentina fue muy colonizada a nivel cultural por occidente pero eso se debe a cuestiones netamente historicas, pero lo afro y lo originario siempre estuvo latente

  • @mlayelendiaz a música argentina reconhecida além do tango que tende a se salvar com a roupagem (mais negra) do grupo gothan projet, fora isto é para consumo interno, ou para trilha sonora de cenas de casais de meia idade, é Mercedes Sosa e Astor Piazzola, não há outro mais contemporãneo, nem do rock nem de outro ritmo, pois o idioma não ajuda , me autorizam a fazer crítica os meu ouvidos acostumados com o melhor, respeito as que falam das raizes, da peruana da.... saudações hermanos

  • @msuranio235 CAPAZ QUE SEA POR FALTA DE COSTUMBRE... A MI TAMBIEN UNA CANCIÓN CANTADA EN JAPONES ME PUEDE LLEGAR A PARECER HORRIBLE, PERO ESA ES UNA CUESTIÓN DE GUSTOS, PARA NADA OBJETIVA.... A MI ME ENCANTA MI IDIOMA... CREO QUE TIENE UN SONIDO HERMOSO Y PECULIAR COMO LOPUEDE TENER EL PORTUGUÉS, EL INGLÉS, EL ALEMÁN, EL FRANCÉS, EL MAPUSUNGUN, EL GUARANÍ, ETC. NO CONSIDERO QUE EL GÉNERO LIMITE EN LA MEDIDA QUE ESE GÉNERO HAYA NACIDO DEL CONTEXTO PECULIAR DE CADA CULTURA.

  • @mlayelendiaz ok! é verdade, o problema é que és arrogante, e soi arrogante, e diz um ditado em meu país ... dois bicudos não se beijam, o resto é paz

  • @msuranio235 MUAC! ... ME PARECE QUE NO ME ESTAS LEYENDO... O EL IDIOMA NOS ESTÁ GENERANDO UNA MALA PASADA O HAY PROYECCIONES PSICOANALITICAS DE POR MEDIO. YO TE DIGO QUE TODOS LOS IDIOMAS SON LINDOS, PECULIARES O PARTICULARES Y PRODUCEN MUSICA LINDA Y PECULIAR SEGUN EL CONTEXTO DE CADA CULTURA, DE AHI A QUE NOS GUSTEN A NOSOTROS, ES SOLO ESO: GUSTO, NO ES UN CRITERIO OBJETIVO DE NADA

  • Oh I so want a Flat Top Hairdo again

    Olivier ( Olinda )

  • @samydjani Saudades de Olinda! Realmente, a música têm que evoluir, seja tango, samba, maracatu e outros ritmos...

  • I've Seen That Face Before: Magic and Mystery Grace Jones!

  • love it

  • jaj hagyjuk már

    játszik rajta 4 hangot

  • O tango é o mesmo, apenas incorporando a evolução cultural, como ocorre com o nosso maracatu e outros ritmos/danças tradicionais populares nas mãos de gênios como Chico Science e outros de Pernambuco e do Nordeste. São novos e não perdem a originalidade. Na Argentina foi Astor Piazzola.

  • don`t want to upstage you grace,but may wear a slingback from oxfam sellotaped to my head next month at your gig.you can`t fail recognise me,i`ll be wearing a pink carnation,and carrying a copy of the financial times..

  • caster semenya beta

  • I've been a fan of Hotel Costes for years now & never before made the connection that this woman was the singer of Libertango until now.

    I'm ashamed!

  • Strepitosa...

  • lady gaga rape all of grace jones costumes...then call it inspiration.  if some-one inspire you..that does not mean you must copy all their hard work. thats theft....in disguise.

  • COOL BEANS said Johnny

  • superrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • Divino este tango hecho de esta manera. Los felicito!!!

  • Interesting. Didn't know she was a singer. Can't stand it when someone holds an instrument in a music video but doesn't play it. Pure marketing BS.

  • EXCITANTE....si pudiera volver a ver tus ojos...

  • Gaga is a Bad copy of Madonna and Grace Jones...The Queen Grace!

  • muito bom, dá hora meu!!, queria eu esatr em uma ilha deserta com essa mulher...

  • where is the mic for her voice??? PLAYBACK FAIL!!!

  • ..... art school crap critics. just because its diferent, doesn't make it good. people fawn over fad fashion, art, and music because they can't come up with their own original thought. her flashy persona is simply a device to cover up her lack of musical talent. let's have so much other "noise' around to distract the audience so they don't realize i am a fraud..... i believe that is a snakeoil salesman, right? pretentious phony garbage..... broadway gonzo douche-baggery...... crap.

  • @iH8kanye00 well im happy someone else relize she cant really sing, Thats why i think comparing her to gaga is absured yes there shows are both incoparte fashion but gaga stuff is a little more theatrical and she can actually play instruments and sing and dance thats just my opinion

  • Iconic genius, the talents of this woman know no bounds. Saw her at the Royal Albert Hall in London a few days ago, really was the best performance I have ever seen...

  • You nutty bars. What the hell are you saying! Jones is well-reknowned for having a deep, luscious, strong and sultry voice! So because she dioesn't sound like another million Britneys and Aguilleras and constipated-sounding trashy bitches like katy Perry, she's bad. O go back to primary school and learn something substantial, will you?

  • She is iconic.

  • i love this astor piazzola's song and ms. jones makes it to b incredibly new.

  • you people are nuts!!!! this is horrible!!! she's a whacko. i don't think she's playing that accordian either. you don't have to dress up like a space alien if your voice is any good. the only thing worth a damn she ever contributed was showing off her butt cheeks in coan the destroyer!!!

  • You don't have to have a good voice if you have character.

  • yiacs!

  • timeless

  • wonderful she is the queen of chic thanks

  • Wonderful song! Wonderful singer!

  • poor piazzolla....such a good piece of music played this way :-(

  • i'm not very familiar with her music either but she is so intriguing! why don't we hear more about her?

  • Genial su interpretacion  de Libertango , es inigualable

  • used in "frantic", directed by roman polanski.

  • Grace Jones

    I love her voice.

    Great video.

  • wow, i'm not very familiar with her work, but I really like what I have seen so far. She has a lot of vitality.

    There's something very alluring and powerful about her.

  • A great song by a great performer! Grace Jones is the best!

  • ....Grande!!

  • Great!!!

  • santctus: Piss racist fuck.

  • WAT

  • tietajajoshua: and you can follow your racist friend down the shit path.Asshole.

  • You are talking no sense. Go take your medication. Deluded.

  • tietajoshua: you have a problem, garbage. Get help. I recommend therapy.

  • don't think she would mind being mistaken for a man, but it's irrelevant. she's 100% fierce beast. but the clip is far too short.

  • geat voice!!

  • Dear God!

  • que grande Zula!

  • Grace Jones.......a man.....fantastic. Very sexy and classy 'man' indeed.

  • She is a woman, she actually has a son with her then partner Jean-Paul Goude, he's a musician too, I tink his name is Paul anyone??

  • @StoryeTime He was actually a very talented artist!

  • @zane5153 Was??? I looked it up and their son's name is Paulo

  • es linda grande grace te lo dise natuxa

  • This is wonderful!

  • Grace y Piazzolla la mejor convinacion jamas vista....adoro esta cancion...come back to Chile pease!!

  • you guys diss but this is the most coolest video i have ever seen. I think he does an amazing job and for the rest of you you are all jealous

  • Lol! Grace Jones is a woman, not a man!

  • omigod you are so wrong. I will put money down. He was also in James Bonds Movie too

  • Lol, what makes you think she's a man? Does she sound like one to you?

    And yeah, but she played a woman in that movie.

  • w dziecinstwie byłam jak zakleta, gdy to uslyszałam..stałam jak zahipnotyzowana przed ekranem tv..a mialam niewiele lat..

    magiczny utwór!

  • HA-HA-HA-HA

  • dejen el tanto en paz... no lo arruinen como arruinan todas las cosas lindas en la vida..

  • Who cares whether she sings in English or not, whether it is a good homage to Piazzolla, or whether people are confused about the origin of the song - she can do whatever she wants with it.

  • Ela esta tocando o acordeon? mas nao faz movimento ???????Passei. To beje acrilica!

  • Ella lo toca, pero no lo ejecuta. es simbolico

    un homenAJE a Piazzola

  • not my kind of interpretation of Piazzola's Libertango....I think that the song is better with clasical instruments....and just for the record: "nothing is better then the original"

  • That´s not my point... I said that because people thinks that this song is from France (as well as many thinks that tango is french)... And this is from: Astor (with "A" of "A"rgentina) Piazzolla. Just that.

  • she's an absolutely amazing artist and working with the revolutionists that is Sly & Robbie must have been fantastic

  • why is she speaking in french when this song was composed by the great Astor Piazzolla? (a r g e n t i n o)... forget about the french!

  • Well, I wouldn't mind french kissing this woman -

    but that's a different story....

  • It's a really good song and I think it is the ultimate compliment for people to celebrate a song in as many different languages as possible.

  • Piazzolla lived in France, he may even have wrote this song in France

  • she's not a woman, she's a masterpiece. she always do incredible performances

  • mooi liedje!

  • hahaha

  • wtf?

  • She's so talented. I just saw the movie Frantic again recently and wanted to look up a video of her performing this song.

  • FRANTIIIIIIC!!!!! YEAAAAAH!

  • sooooo bad

  • Many years ago, after this great singer I was fallen in love with Astor Piazzola music forever and started to listen to original arrangements. She did her own interpretation. I think he would love it.

  • I don't know if he would love it or not, but that's a kind of distraction of the song... And I can't really understand why people can't see the Huge quality difference...

    This stupid video has 440,000 views and compared to this one, other videos, with geniuses playing in them, can't really reach the 1k views.... :/

  • @szeszti86

    Why not? If astor was a genious -and I trully belive he was- he'll enjoyt it!

    BTW, the name of this song -version- is "I've Seen That Face Before"

  • Whooooooo the &#@[] is this? Does Astor see this from heaven? I guess wouldn't be happy about it. :(

  • what type of song is this ??? wierd eh !

  • Libertango is a composition by the wonderful argentinian musician and bandoneon player (a kind of accordion) Astor Piazzola. He revolutionazed tango forever by fussioning it with classical music and jazz. What Grace Jones is doing is what she could do very well, pose with that instrument strapped around her shoulders, nothing to do with the original believe me.
