Heaven 17 - Temptation Live

[Dosbat1]

Gods of pop!

[johnnyblunder]

Brill, but Glenns teeth job is a bit over powering lol.

[ma1com10tatgmaildotc]

MILF OF MILFS .. U FKN ROCK

[mickyday2008]

Super sweet

[TheGodParticle]

Wow! that blondes got some lungs on her.

[tagesmuecke]

cocaine is fucking shit...and thats what they mean in the 80's

[gavsky23]

Saw Billie Godfrey singing this on Loose Women ITV the other week, wow, she is brilliant!

[Hotlips4000isback]

Carol Kenyon sang this song SO much better, she was the best, why isn't she performing with them when they do this song?

This lady ruins it! :/

Takes me back to the 80's when i was a kid growing up :) (I'm 31 now!) i actually have there "Best Of Album" @ home, play it from time to time. :)

[TheDivineMissJayvee]

@Hotlips4000isback I couldn't agree more, Carol had a lovely melodic voice, whereas Biliie is very shouty.

[Hotlips4000isback]

@TheDivineMissJayvee

Yeah, this woman ruins an excellent song.

Its like getting Carol Decker(T'Pau(sp?) !) to "sing" this track, when all she would do is SHOUT it! :p

[EdgyBT]

Billie Godfrey is good but I personally don't think she comes anywhere near Carol Kenyon. I remember this from the first time around... LOL at the posters who believe Dani Filth's incoherent comedy version is better than this!! Sorry kids.

[BreandaenFitheach]

Pish compared to the Cradle of Filth version, this has no soul whatsoever.

[bedfordious1]

they ditch the black in this.wankers



[ttblade]

Saw them live at Sheffield Tramlines festival a few weeks ago. Brilliant!!!

[ChoPhilly13]

Used to sing different lyrics as a kid...

There's a pie in the friiiiiiiidge....TEMPTATION! There's a microwave neeearby......TEMPTATION!

[exiledalien]

If this is LIVE which I think most of it is,its fantastic,she can really hit those high notes,hope they go on tour soon

[number1authority]

So. Damn. Good. Still.

[TimeForTimer]

Oh my goodness, she is absolutely amazing

[SwineNahNah]

Oh my, she's fantastic!

[maurocordoba90]

trainspotting babeeeeee!!

[xxwendyx]

this woman has a better voice

[skitzojoey]

Could be a biased opinion but I prefer the cradle of filth version

[yumeoihito]

@skitzojoey woo hoo \,,/

[sunnyblack15]

Lady in Red WOW!

[1stumann]

In my opinion the best record of the 80's. Possibly ever.

[Carbon657]

Ummm Tuesday oh wait hold on, ok yeah I lied about the whinch

[MexxPowers]

This song needs more cowbell! Why is it gone !?

[schpongled]

Hahaha, wow how good is this???

They've both got amazing voices and completely nailed this performance.

[clausjensencom]

Great song, great performance. Absolutely brillant!

[67bones]

a heavenly performance ! (forget the high wire , this is LIVE WIRE !!)

[donnylad73]

that blonde lass is a cracking singer and bloody gorgeous

[67bones]

brilliant ... just brill  brilliante

[paul1944]

[clemo2879]

Now that's how you sing live, these guys could take todays acts back to school

[frankie4257]

[GolfBallHeads]

[donsee1000]

what a voice,a trully magical gift

[vortx100]

Best rendition, ever! - omg sounded like comic book man there....

[hobbesyhobbit]

She is good, but Carol Kenyon was better with the ooooey bit! lol

[lilrockere]

One word

Trainspotting :) x

[lintissa]

I have always loved the power of the vocals in this song, great work. No need for 'autotune' with talented artists who can sing for real.

[sibeliandrift]

@lintissa totally, I wish I could thumb this one comment up 500 times

[hollowedhead]

That was just Fuckin ace !

[Bittersuiteful]

I saw these live and she was absolutely AMAZING! Completely upstaged everyone, including Belinda Carlisle who was on before her!

[ShinyComics]

Anybody know where I can find Hands Up To Heaven by Heaven 17?

I can't find it anywhere. Is that even the proper title of the song?

[mattclb1]

shes georgous

[graybermann]

Anyone know who the girl is, she's fantastic, better than Carol Kenyon...

[Prototypeuk]

@graybermann If you read my description you will see her name is Bille Godfrey

[graybermann]

@Prototypeuk OK Thanks. Although "Billie" could have been any one of the other blokes if you don't know...

[kishawiboi]

@Prototypeuk no need to be rude you little bitch, just be gratfull people are watching your vidieos :S

[amaneciamosiameses]

@kishawiboi i don't think she has been rude at all..

[alicemarie1990]

@graybermann she was my singing teacher at bimm love her

[scarlebloke]

@graybermann Billy Godfrey is her name. A well known and bloody good session singer who also teaches singing.

[graybermann]

@scarlebloke Thanks, what a voice, and lovely aswell, some bloke is lucky :)

[anwfeliEpiviwsi]

@graybermann Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh NO SHE'S FUCKING NOT.

[graybermann]

@anwfeliEpiviwsi Jesus nigger, I posted that six months ago, you have too much time with your right hand.

[anwfeliEpiviwsi]

@graybermann Who cares when you posted it? Carol Kenyon was better than Billie Godfrey 6 months ago and she still is now.

[brushotti]

@graybermann NO WAY is she better than the great Ms. Kenyon..that woman has more soul in her pinky finger..not that Ms. Godfrey is bad..

[RonnyScroggins]

haven't stopped listening to this song since they performed on children in need. Am so glad they did their bit for charity as well as giving me something to listen to non-stop!

[Prototypeuk]

@RonnyScroggins I am just about to upload the Children in Need video.

[8beale]

great on children in need last nite, the girl singer is so much better than the original singer from years ago

[slim4711]

did you see them last night on bbc children in need..damn they were good.

[240ups]

Best band that merged electronic with soul!

[YCSMusic]

I met Glenn Gregory in a Tenerife bar in '84, what an obnoxious prick !

Good tune though.

[Zuzannaq]

On the other hand, Heaven 17's fans could respect the fact that someone actually sold the rights to CoF to record it, and that they must found that song good, so please don't behave like someone profaned your sanctity.

[Zuzannaq]

I just see no sense in comparing the original version and CoF cover...

This is a great sing and I like CoF - I think their cover is really cool and funny... the funniest bit is probably that lyrics suit so perfectly their genre. But I don't see any use in coming to Heaven 17 ' s videos on YouTube and writing how the cover is better - what for? Heaven 17's fans will always consider original perfect and CoF fans will find the cover nicer, so who you try to convince?

[valhalla49]

awesome 80's at its best !!!!

[winterlandboy]

Heaven 17 with Billie Godfrey on "Later" with jools Holland on Friday night22 October 2010

[bigfellethanks]

@winterlandboy saw the show ,brilliant song and that girl can sing ,any going to post it in you tube?

[soul4444]

Who'd have thought that anyone could sing Carol Kenyon's original part as good. Yep they found someone who can - Billie - excellent vocals!!!!

[scarlebloke]

Ah - Billie is so, so good!

[Lethanor]

Billie Godfrey: 10/10 in vocals AND appearance

[mikris50]

Teeth job, bald head under cap - shame!

[deviousdanoh]

there isnt many songs that are almost 30 years old and dont actually sound 30 years old if you get what i mean, this sounds as fresh today as it did 27 years ago, and billie godfrey makes this song even better

Great Song and timeless

[wankerscunt]

fantastic vocals from billie godfrey

[mrstychup]

I remember Heaven 17 the first time around and have seen them live several times. I went to the 80's Rewind Festival this weekend and I can tell you that Billie Godfrey gives Carol Kenyon a run for her money - simply awesome!

[langley6]

Is this live in bensham?

[TheSky16]

Does anyone know where I can watch this entire programme? Why am I only hearing about this now?! Really guys, come on... keep me informed won't you.

[ptech365]

this song is the business

[jordan16195]

what happened to the girl who origanly sang this song?

[teenytobs12]

Just came across this i've seen them live before and she is AMAZING

[anonymice14]

Who covered who? I prefer CoF's version.

[MAHBOI35]

@anonymice14 CoF covered Heaven 17

[marklee1783]

come back ian craig marsh

[maria461]

OMG better they are better than in the 80s!!!!

[neto4346]

OMFG !!! Excellent!!

[roxas485]

*goes to watch the cradle of filth version* O_e;; nooo thank you *returns to this* the original is sooo much better

[johnnybiggs100]

@roxas485 I respect the original but Cradle made it dark and better! It was like this song was made to be performed by Dani Filth!

[deviousdanoh]

@johnnybiggs100 no disrespect you you buddy, BUT the CoF cover of this song is horrible, the female vocalist on that is terrible, and the lead singer is equally as bad, no talent at all, deep growl voice aka no talent as a singer, man i can do that in my sleep as most people can, they butchered this song trying to make it fit into a genre it has no place being in

[GolfBallHeads]

@roxas485 just seen that version made my ears bleed

[seya567]

@roxas485 naaaaaaaa CoF version is more good than heaven 17 

[666Kleto666COG666]

Cof''s version is MUCH BETTER

[1980jlifts]

Holy crap.....AMAZING!!!!!

[ShanLoveXiarmaine]

cradle of filth vs heaven17 haha!

[drpoxy]

Thanks for posting this - much appreciated. A superb performance by all.

Slightly off-topic :- Does anyone (else) remember Glenn Gregory travelling from the BBC tv studios Wood Lane to Paris in around 35 minutes during an episode of Noel Edmond's Late, Late breakfast show ? I think he set a speed record.

[ravrik]

Wow I am very impressed by the live performance. I remember the song from when I was at uni in Sheffield! The girl is esp good. Is she part of the band or was she a session /backing singer?

[pyraplastic]

awesome singing Billie!

[nuwavegurl]

Martyn looks fab-o. This chic is awesome too.

[christhesnaildriver]

WOW! It's rare for a group to sound better live than the recorded version, but damn, this has blown me away! Such a rich unique sound with the keyboard and male harmonies, and her voice is incredible!

[PremaritalSex1]

This was an awesome performance. I'm not sure what genre it's classified as, but it's almost like a new-wave disco sound.

[zeboh]

Briliant song 5 stars

[jonasmjr]

omg, i was about to bash them for trying to substitute Carol Kenyon but this chick is AWESOME! very good!

[interplanetkitty]

LOVEEEEEEEEEE THEM!

[jlspma]

[foggy4xchamp]

Excuse the language guys but Billie Godfrey is FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[RogueBrit]

[aliwb]

Billie Godfrey came to my school the other day! she was helping train people for a school production 'stars in their eyes' and I met her!

[godisatan]

Can't believe how great they sound!!!

[monimania]

[nikkimooo3]

Saw them last night with so many other 80s bands it was amazing!!!!!

[javierpl311]

Trainspotting forever

[mgsherry]

what the fuck... its been 20 odd years, he dont look a day older

[schneiderlover]

I'm probably going to be hunted down by people with pitchforks and torches for saying this but i prefer Carol Kenyon's voice. The original and the best.

[noc99]

Carol Kenyon- oh how I fantasised about her. She's the reason.

[montyspond]

I saw this live on TV not so long back, I'm sure it was not more than a few months ago, if not, definately 2008.

[mullio]

what year was this screened?

[Prototypeuk]

November 2008

[foggy4xchamp]

Listen to Cradle of Filths version..... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT but brilliant too.... Just for different reasons... And no... I'm not some kid. 39 and love both xx

[foggy4xchamp]

When Billie came in it blew my bloody balls off!!!! AWESOME

[Prototypeuk]

She is great. I'd love to meet her

[aliwb]

[randomglen]

[PaulAllsop68]

[ykmsp]

You guys are so fortunate to have this show on TV! But thanks to YouTube, 80s fans in Asia like me can stilll wctch them : )

I have seen Heaven 17, Howard Jones and Kajagoogoo, Ali Campbell on this show on 1983, any other acts I missed out?
