to all CHEATERS: "your marriage is a tragedy, but it is not my concern... your private life drama baby leave me out ...and your sex life complications are not my fascination...."
These songs, lyrics, music and musicians must be the most underestimated things ever. She's a fantastic singer and performer, the music is just wonderful. The whole thing is just very well done and pretty amazing as well as entertaining and fabulous to watch.
@BodgyHeats666 Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. She's so gorgeous...it just doesn't seem right. A wearing a mask of yourself is like the icing on the cake!
@CartoonsAndGameShows word! i was totally fooled too. but you know, she worked with masks....did you ever see the video where she appears to be making out with herself? it is ballistic....but i wonder if it's the same mask-maker? someone told me it was her twin brother in the video with her, but that would be so beyond inapppropriate....even for grace. it was angelina and her bro territory. but who know? it is grace. if you get a chance to see it, let me know what you think.

@artisticfreedom Don't think I've seen that one. The only song I really know by Grace Jones is "Slave To The Rhythm". And just by watching that video, I can see she's quite different than most artists. I think she's pretty good actually:)
Grace just smoulders in front of any camera or stage-there's no one like her! She's especially attractive in this vid. But in truth, all of her work is fascinating, creative and well worth viewing. Grace NEVER disappoints!
Oh my God, there are no other true eccentrics out there today, like Grace Jones. The only relatively comparable persona would be Nina Hagen :-) Love you both!!
To all dark skinned black women who say that they can't find any makeup that suits them: Are you serious? Because look at the very dark Grace who always wears makeup no matter where she goes or what she's doing and it suits her. Even when she's wearing a lot of it, the makeup colors always suits her. Observe everybody, this is how you should do it! And it CAN be done!
@jrmetmoi Im a dark skinned black woman and I was just saying the SAME THING! And back then, they didnt have as many options as we have now so I dont understand why its so hard for some women to find makeup that suits them
@JBoogy92 Yes very dark skinned black women can wear strongly colored makeup easily and quite a bit of it too because it doesn't show up on them as 'too strong' or 'too far'. I see here that Grace is wearing strong, eye makeup, strong blush on the cheeks, and strong lipstick and this would be great for darker skinned black women at least for the evening.
I love how all the stupid people act like it's OK to misspell and use improper grammar. It's all over the 'Net and esp. on YouTube -- dummies reveling -- no, wallowing -- in their stupidity. Very amusing!
@AriesTRam Erm, no, tianimu's not dumb. Revelling is the English/Australian spelling and the more common world-wide spelling. Reveling is the US spelling. Both are right. Check the dictionary if you don't believe me.
@weirdunclebob OK, I'll check it out the next time I have a chance. It makes sense that it's an alternate spelling, just as "colour" is "color" in the U.S. Appreciate the correction!
@fierro760 Grace Jones in her 60's for your info. She is STILL lovely and Madonna will never want a day of Grace. She needs no botox, or those manmade injectables that the unlicensed children charge $1250.00 for in Manhattan. LOL Child, please! Do your research. Grace came first during the disco era... clubs like L'amour, Sanctuary, The Saint, Studio 54... Gaga even gave her homage by mentioning her as inspiration, so your argument makes no sense at all.
Even if Gaga wasn't around, people have enough knowledge to browse youtube. I'm quite young & I'm educated enough about Miss Grace to know that her music is iconic & will never go away, after the hands of time. You talk about GRAMMAR (you gotta spell it, before ya say it) and college & all that. HA-ha! Madonna... You can't even get her damn name right.
I GUESS WHAT IM SAYING IS IF YOU WER ONLY ABLE TO HEAR GAGAS AND GRACES MUSIC AND WERNT ABLY TO SEE THEM I DONT THINK PPL WOULD CHOOSE GRACE.IF GAGA HADNT PAYD HOMAGE TO GRACE AND OTHER GREAT IDOLS, HER MUSIC WOULD STILL HAVE SOLD. GRACE ON THE OTHERHAND RELIED ON HER ON HER KRAZII STYLE AND FASHION TO GET HER MUSIC HEARD.
THERE IS VERY BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER & A CERTAIN NEW ARTIST..TAKE AWAY ALL THEIR GLAM, MAKEup, KRAZY COSTUMEZ & FREAKY VID'Z.ONLY ONE OF THESE ARTISTS MUSIC WOULD STILL BE VERY POPULAR...& THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. THE MUSIC... I DOUBT MZ JHONES HAS OUT SOLD GAGA ON ON Itunes.LMAO!!!
@FIERRO760 Yikes, calm down. Music isn't about money :P its about art and expressing yourself. I love lady gaga but her young fans that don't understand music need to grow up!
@WHOBYFIRE333 UUMMM I NEVER MENTIONED MONEY.....BUT OK. YOUR TRYN TO BACK RIDE ON MY COMMENT....ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC....I WOULDNT BE CHILLING IN MY ROOM LISTENING TO THIS.UNLESS I WAS READY TO CUT MY WRIST.LOL.I AGREE WITH YOU.ALOT OF GAGAS FANS ARE FOLLOWERS AND ONLY TAKE THE GLAMOUR AND SEXUAL CONTENT FROM THE MUSIC RATHER THAN THE ACTUL MEANIING.UNLEES YOU WER AT A VERY LOW POINT IN YOUR LIFE WHEN "THE FAME"ALBUM DROPED I DNT THINK YOU FULLY RECEIVED THE MSG THE ALBUM WAS PREACHING.
@FIERRO760 - gaga is asexual and unsexy - even though she sings about sex and projects a 'sexual' exterior. She is not the magnetic animal who she pretends to be. Grace was what she sang about - gaga is merely a puppet.
@alittlebitofperil lol YOUR RITE.GAGA ISNT SEXY....GAGA WRITES HER OWN MUSIC, IF YOU DIDNT KNOW.....SOOO UMM,WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?. SHE CAME INTO THE GAME AS A MUSIC COMPOSER,PIANIST,DANCER &PEROMER ""NOT A FASHION MODLE""like grace did. .IF ANYONE IS A PUPPET,ITS GRACE. SHE NEW HOW TO GET PPLS ATTENTION THRU FASHION.AND KNEW TO ACT KRAZII AND ECCENTRIC TO BE NOTICED MOST LIKELY LERND FROM WORKING WITH DESIGNERS."GAGA IS A MUSIC ARTIST , GRACE IS JUST A PERFORMER.
@FIERRO760 - yeah, but grace did it first. Gaga is talented, i would'nt take that away from her, but she is empty (to me). Gaga has borrowed A LOT of stuff from various artists looks over the years, its not like she is unique in her style. Both gaga and grace know how to work the media.
I prefer grace jones's music to gaga's actually, i didn't find grace through gaga, i've been aware of grace since i was a child. I don't get fanatical about any singers - just observe.
@FIERRO760 Stop with the caps, tool. Grace is for people with sophistication and intelligence. Nico was a fashion model as well.. what's wrong with fashion models making music?
@Echsentriq sophistication and intelligence? LOL WOW,HOW CUTE,BECAUSE SHE CARRYS HERSELF THAT WAY YOU THINK ITS A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE. LMAO YOU HAVE ALOT TOO LERN.......MUSIC IS A ART THAT KANT BE TAUGHT ON A RUNWAY.
IT'S LIKE WITH BRITNEY THING,BECAUSE SHE LOOKED LIKE A JR. HOE SHE WAS ABLE TOO BE A SINGER....THE SAME THING WITH MODELS.RELYING ON YOUR LOOKS TOO GET A REC.DEAL. THATS WUTS WRONG WITH THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. YOU SHOULD JUS FALL BAK...IM DONE. THE ONLY PPL WHO LIKE GRACE ARE..
@FIERRO760 Grace didn't need to rely on her looks to get a recording contract. She's a talented singer/songwriter as well as a successful model. Talented enough for her music to still be relevant and listened to over 30 years later. Blahblah's is pap and will be forgotten in a few years time. You're just making an arse of yourself. Your use of capitals and your atrocious spelling, grammar and punctuation make you look like a naive, illiterate oaf as does your choice of words. Cry somewhere else.
@weirdunclebob OH STFU YOU OLD FART!!!IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR OLD ASS DOSNT UNDERSTAND SLANG. HER MUSIC ISNT RELEVANT IF GAGA WASNT AROUND NO1 WOULD BOTHER TO EVEN BRINGIN GRACE UP..... MENTIONING, PROPER GRAMMAR AND ILLITERACY REALLY?! MAKEZ YOU LOOK LIKE A LOW CLASS IGNORANT LOSER...I DONT KNO WHAT PAP IS BUT MY GRAMMER ISNT HALF AS HORRIBLE AS SUM OF THESE DUMB "ARSE'Z" YOU BRIT SCUM. THANKX TO TWO YRS OF COLLEGE AND CONTINUING MY STUDYZ IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY YOU STUPID DOUCHEBAG! LMAO!
@FIERRO760 ...it's Madonna not Madona.....and Grace Jones is a legend.With out these artist there would be no Lady Gaga's or Britney Spears ect.They opened the doors for many artist.And you don't have to be a 40 yr old dragz tranny like you said to listen to this,I am 19 yrs old and I can appreciate good old school music.Nowadays music well it kinda sucks.I rarely hear anyone singing anymore,it's basically all autoned,I miss artists that can actually sing.
@FIERRO760 .WTF are you smoking? yes gaga writes her own music...googoo gaga... gaga is a tool from a bunch of stylists and publicists... she's ugly as hell and can't dance really... gaga's music is so juvenile and irrelevant... she's unsophisticated and trash... she copied Grace, Bowie, Klaus Nomi and is a copie of Dale Bozio from Missing Persons... except she was hot... As for Grace, she is original and still true to herself and still performing 4 decades later and still relevant and herself.
@alittlebitofperil AND THANKyou FOR PROOVING MY POINT....GRACE IS LOOKS....NOT MUSIC.! gaga dosnt have to be a "MAGNETIC ANIMAL"....AND SHE IS STILL A POP CULTURE ICON.
feel blessed to have seen her at the Slave to The Rythm show at the Paradise Garage and her first show That's The Trouble/ I need a Man at Gallery thereb is NO one like Grace. Andre Leon Talley in his memoirs said the he thought that Grace is this best best dressed woman of all time!!
Also, I personally don't think a "red hood" is copyrighted to any specific artist, and that any other artist should even be compared to Grace Jones because of that :P
I wish more singers released covers of fellow modern singers kind of like in the jazz era, or in this case .I think it would spark healthy competition and have a cross over effect. It takes someone with a truly musical ear to hear a song and reconstruct (not remix) it to create a completely different feeling...just a thought~
@faddy24 I suppose to some. But not all of us are satisfied with choices of Taylor Swift, and Scarlette Johansson and on a very very generous day Halle Berry or Zoe Saldana...
I for one enjoy not looking at the sea of homogenized sameness that is the typical Hollywood "top 10 beauties" list.
I'm not sure how, but this video is extremely effective, its almost like watching a horror film where the violence is implied, you think you saw more than you did, and for me its kind of the same with this video,not much happens, but it feels like something did, and I can't stop watching. That says a lot about the power of Grace' charisma.
google russel hearty and grace jones interview 1981 ,now would you see that happening today ,thats REAL entertainment lol ,i remember sitting watching it
What a hell why people are comparing grace Jones with that trash of Lady Gaga? lady gaga just want to call attention been different... but to late, grace jones, madonna were different and others that came after are just wasting they time... lady gaga is not Unique and never will be... She is Ugly that is her difference...
Lady Gaga is just a tasteless and meaningless copy of many things from the past. Not a single grain of creativity. Just made for gathering money and brains from the suckers.
grace jones is just grace jones the others who want to look and act like her are just copy asses nothing wrong whit that but i think its wrong when people say that rihanna or other bitches = the new grace nope sorry honey but nope
Don't need technology. Don't need a million dollar video. Don't need to dance around. Don't need to show my body. Confident. Bold. Creative. You can't turn away. The Original. Grace Jones.
@joshtj44 you forgot Don't need autotune. Don't need songwriters. Don't need a 'creative department' of people under 25 to come up with ideas for clothing.
@joshtj44 OK? Please tell those fools like Jason Derulo or whoever for me PUH-LEASE! The further you go back the better and more authentic these videos look even some of the cheesier ones! LOL
@joshtj44 Are you serious? Grace Jones DIDN'T show her body? LOLOLOL. Maybe not in this video, but that's unusual. She didn't need technology? The stuff (like this) produced by Trevor Horn in the 80s was right up there with processing and technology at the time.
I'm so sick of people saying music was more "real" in some mythical golden age any time in the last 50 years, or that sex wasn't a factor. It's rubbish- there have always been manufactured artists, and sex has always been in the package
UrbanEsta is RIGHT. Grace Jones first of all is GORGEOUS...and will age as such...remaining gorgeous. Her voice and style and elegance is incomparably superior.She's sexy as hell.
To any dark skinned black women watching this video who have very cool (blue) undertones in their skin a lot like Grace, if you wear makeup, wear the exact same colors that Grace Jones is wearing here and you will NEVER go wrong with it. Because that lipstick is poppin and in a great way!
@DrLux I couldn't agree with you more. You have Rhinna who is the Grace Jones wannabe, Lady Gaga who wants to be Cyndi Lauper and Madonna put together. Let's not forget Adam Lambert who tries so hard to be like David Bowie and tries to sing like Freddie Mercury. I have more respect for the originators then these shomks
@DrLux lmao. Tische, Juilliard and MILLIONS of other people think differently. More than one artist can be good and wearing something different isn't copyrighted by one person in history XD
Well....you are just a vivid ingenuity :) Try some music culture a few years more and call me after. In the meantime force your AO harder because there are some horny elephants around that need satisfaction.
Also, try some music culture? as in take a class? I'm pretty sure I'm cultured enough, that wasn't that clear, I'll pass on the calling. Don't know what A.O is or what elephants have to do with anything, sorry.
@DrLux I disagree. One is not the other, there is no need to compare or draw conclusions that one is better than the other. They are both extremely talented artists. (But no thumbs down, tho...) :)
Nobody these days anyway can make a video this... simple.... and also they couldn't make it work or make it look convincing. They all need the same big Hollywood team that a film actor would need. They don't have it like this. Even Laurie Anderson had it like this back in the day.
This video is slightly out of sync. Watch her lips closely and you'll see exactly what I mean. What a shame that it is, since it's a great song and video. This is Grace's cover of a song by The Pretenders, that was written by Chrissie Hynde who is the singer of The Pretenders.
lady gaga rape grace jones......costumes lmao.....then some tv presenter from the uk have the nerve to claim that some-one ripped off one of gaga's costume......theif from tief god laugh.
If that makes Gaga more famous then so be it. Grace is living art, and people should realise a successful performance artist is not one who sells loads of records it is one who makes original, good music.

@FIERRO760 ...it's Madonna not Madona.....and Grace Jones is a legend.With out these artist there would be no Lady Gaga's or Britney Spears ect.They opened the doors for many artist.And you don't have to be a 40 yr old dragz tranny like you said to listen to this,I am 19 yrs old and I can appreciate good old school music.Nowadays music well it kinda sucks.I rarely hear anyone singing anymore,it's basically all autoned,I miss artists that can actually sing.

@FIERRO760 .WTF are you smoking? yes gaga writes her own music...googoo gaga... gaga is a tool from a bunch of stylists and publicists... she's ugly as hell and can't dance really... gaga's music is so juvenile and irrelevant... she's unsophisticated and trash... she copied Grace, Bowie, Klaus Nomi and is a copie of Dale Bozio from Missing Persons... except she was hot... As for Grace, she is original and still true to herself and still performing 4 decades later and still relevant and herself.

feel blessed to have seen her at the Slave to The Rythm show at the Paradise Garage and her first show That's The Trouble/ I need a Man at Gallery thereb is NO one like Grace. Andre Leon Talley in his memoirs said the he thought that Grace is this best best dressed woman of all time!!

Also, I personally don't think a "red hood" is copyrighted to any specific artist, and that any other artist should even be compared to Grace Jones because of that :P

I wish more singers released covers of fellow modern singers kind of like in the jazz era, or in this case .I think it would spark healthy competition and have a cross over effect. It takes someone with a truly musical ear to hear a song and reconstruct (not remix) it to create a completely different feeling...just a thought~

@faddy24 I suppose to some. But not all of us are satisfied with choices of Taylor Swift, and Scarlette Johansson and on a very very generous day Halle Berry or Zoe Saldana...
I for one enjoy not looking at the sea of homogenized sameness that is the typical Hollywood "top 10 beauties" list.

I'm not sure how, but this video is extremely effective, its almost like watching a horror film where the violence is implied, you think you saw more than you did, and for me its kind of the same with this video,not much happens, but it feels like something did, and I can't stop watching. That says a lot about the power of Grace' charisma.

@joshtj44 Are you serious? Grace Jones DIDN'T show her body? LOLOLOL. Maybe not in this video, but that's unusual. She didn't need technology? The stuff (like this) produced by Trevor Horn in the 80s was right up there with processing and technology at the time.
I'm so sick of people saying music was more "real" in some mythical golden age any time in the last 50 years, or that sex wasn't a factor. It's rubbish- there have always been manufactured artists, and sex has always been in the package

This video is slightly out of sync. Watch her lips closely and you'll see exactly what I mean. What a shame that it is, since it's a great song and video. This is Grace's cover of a song by The Pretenders, that was written by Chrissie Hynde who is the singer of The Pretenders.
