HOWARD JONES no one is to blame

[NESCartFan]

His cover of White Flag that same night was the BOMB!

[lafesil]

The same,old and big emotions.......

Le solite,vecchie e grandi emozioni.....

[CelesteK]

He should have won. :)

[yellofury]

dude still sounds amazing

[Moeswithhisdoubts]

I wouldn't like to come back to the 80's and I really don't think He has ever been the best or still it is.

But I'm sure this is a great song written by a beautiful person.

[80swerethebest]

I should have read down but the resemblance was so striking I thought I was the first to notice it!

[80swerethebest]

Good God! He looks like John Lithgow. But I still love him.

[schlabresfan]

OMG did he get old, now I feel old....

[MrNathan791]

so amazing,howard still sounding good after all these years. just like good wine aging gracefully so has howard. and this is such a beautiful song;this song has and will continue to stand the test of time.great music never grows undated.just like mozart. this is a classic.

[samaniegoomar]

80s the time whe the soul and the love used to walk together as one...

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

he is awesome...

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

i love this guy

[whitejmw]

This guy has got to come and perform in HK

[TheSovietSteel]

He looks like John Lithgow.

[jondy3]

@TheSovietSteel ,

yes, he does, maybe from his role in Cliffhanger, what do you think?

[Soundman1963]

The 80's was a musical renaissance. A lot of inspiration swirling between bands. I could feel this movement going on with art and music so it became a way for people to connect with each other. There was this sense of absurdity whether it was punk or big hair in oversized suites that was intoxicating! Then the 90's dropped in and major labels ... are you depressed now?

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

@Soundman1963 well said

[jacksnack1111]

was in castlebar last night to see howard jones, amazing amazing , still as good as ever

[thom2805]

one of the best songs ever!

[WelshMasterz]

It's amazing how you discover great songs.

I heard this on an episode of Family Guy and liked it so much I memorised all the words and searched for it on google.

Amazing song.

Simply perfect.

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

@WelshMasterz hahahaha that great hahaha and of course gotta love family guy haha.

[speedymice]

He is still the best !!!

[bella1975]

yess

[calferath]

Same here. I'm still stuck in the 80's.

[DarinWW]

He sprung back "the reclining Buddist"

 (Howard Jones)

[francsgarcia]

I often wonder if we could just go back to the 80's the best time of our lives if we actually would ?because when we were that young I couldn't wait to to grow up haha... stuck in the 80's

[cdecast]

me too

[danlee1234]

Fantastic Go man Gooooooo, he should have won!

xxx

[LoriKimM]

No One to to blame.................but

[AHAPXuCT100]

Шедевр!!!

[riophel]

i wish i could turn back time and pause the time at 80's... long live 80's

[supersabrejet]

MAGNIFICO!!!!!!!!! Music for ever, music for ever.

[cajun37]

WOW! Dude aged big time! I so remember those days back then, how much would we would love to have them back......I love the lyrics, "you can dip by the pool, but you can't have a swim, you're the fastest runner but you're now allowed to win" love how he did the lyrics..anyone have a time machine so we can go back to the awesome days of life?

[popcur]

@cajun37 that is song writing, right there

[marcozanzadj]

... Bella !

[sliver345]

I love this song so much, although I was surprised that the young girls in the crowd knew the lyrics. I sure wish I could see him live. Please come to Canada sometime Howard.

[justgetsome]

He stills rocks. They just don't make them like this anymore.

[msbearr]

I love the way the song starts out. I took piano in school when I was a child now I do a lot of music by hear.

He has a great voice

[zapkvr]

Well he can carry a tune but he really has such a great voice. Howard and Paul Young were the two great finds of the eighties.

[tadtravis]

I miss the 80's...its a shame the lame music of today doesnt posses .01% of the talent that used to dominate the airwaves.....r.i.p.

[98Snake]

the musicians are just as talented, they just don't know how to use it like the 80's stars.

[tadtravis]

I know talent is all relevant to ones opinion, but I haven't heard a decent guitar solo in mainstream rockin over 15 years...very lame guitar players coming down the pike in this generation...

[51to49]

Can not agree with you more. The music these days are just remakes of classic 70' and 80's tunes.

[jtno2]

Today's music has no soul or character. It's all carefully and painstakingly crafted to appeal to the widest, most profitable demographic possible. That's why it sounds so incredibly generic and forgettable. I'm sooooo glad I grew up in the 80's.

[justgetsome]

Oh man that was awesome! and I'm glad myself to have grown-up then as well.

Music went off a cliff somewhere around 1990 I think.

[ilyich1218]

Try Radiohead.

[Epiphethes]

Omg he's sounds just as good as he did way back then :)

[bella1975]

yess

[Benedicta123]

This song is awesome in my teens. Great job in this presentation.

[nederwiet1]

@jtno2 agreed

[colinlebon]

fernon key,,,,said this went to no 1 ,,,,,,i cant recall it,,,,,did anyone else?

[wryly1968]

Still one of the BEST songs...

[foreigner666]

aprovechemos mientras tengamos pelo severo mechudo y termino siendo el papa de la pelada...jajaja...me encanta esta cancion

[NCFB4Life33]

this song kinda cushins the blow

[kishanabear]

i loved and still love this song. i wondered what he was up to these days! is it just me or is he starting to look like john lithgow from 3rd rock from the sun? still hot though!

[darkpoet25]

LOL, I didn't notice until you said so. He really does look like his character Dick.

[LoriKimM]

No One Ever is to blame?

ya think?

Great song? Makes you wonder.. hmmmm

[tumbleweed741]

awesome

[Shrykespeare]

Note to poster's comment about Howard being the only Brit on the show (besides the host)... not true. I distinctly remember Flock of Seagulls on the show as well.

[buddy34]

Happy Birthday Howard Jones (2/23)!!!

[iain2761]

just got back from the states- this song is played all the time on the radio

[jackieevans]

I swear I feel like this song was made because of all the chances I had to make a huge success of myself and I failed by just my timing but not my ideas.

[wsbunee]

I loved HoJo and I will always love HoJo!!!

[1982pacman]

I watched this show every week when it aired a few summers ago.. it was pretty fun. I specifically searched-up this song from the show because at the time I thought it was the best performance of the series.  Always loved this song, particularly back in '86.

[marcozanzadj]

Beautiful song ...

[LDPMB20]

I heard Rob Thomas (from Matchbox 20)singing this song.... Is amazing !!!! This song is wonderfull !!!

[ibcannonball]

Phil collins produced this guy and got him started in the buisness. Phil knows talent when he sees it.

[gmansi]

But on the second version of the song, not the first.

[angelxtrminador]

Y en la version original los coros los hace el mismo Phil Collins... Escuchen y encuentren la inconfundible vos de collins

[ibcannonball]

hey ya have to speak english if you want me to understand your reply

[angelxtrminador]

OK No Problem... But try to speak a little of Spanish... If you listen very carefully the song, the second voice is Phil Collins in that song. It's very clear and recognzable. I hope you enjoy it.

[WouterJ]

Not to mention that drum sound, there's only one guy who plays like that.

[atremorer]

Howard had a very successful album before Phil did the producing for this song. The album version was not produced by Phil--just the radio version. There were at least two other hits of this album (Dream into Action) before this one was a hit. I don't think you can say Phil got him started in the business.

BTW...it's funny for a long I liked the album version better than the radio one.

[WouterJ]

Maybe not but Phil Collins DID give Jones more contemporary sound. Collins' style of production and Collins' signature powerhouse drumming (I've seen Collins live at Genesis 2007 tour and the man is an animal behind those drums.) made the single version of this song an entity of it's own. I'm pretty sure that Howard Jones was open to the changes Phil Collins made otherwise it was never released as such and he wouldn't be performing it in the Phil Collins way at that show.

[hlnklr]

ah yes, this is quite a song. tres nice

[kidzluvgunz]

LOL @ 2439383's comment!! luv it :) Amazing 2 see a new version of thz song back in the USA billboard top 30 ( aug 07 ) by katrina Carlson. howard provides backing vocals & piano!! And i guess 4 those of you who don't know..Mr Howard Jones is still very much on the go touring the world over & releasing new material(eg)Revolution of the Heart(2005),Piano Solos Vol.2(2007)& a must have; Revolution: Remixed & Surrounded(2007)

[briendomi39]

I'm glad to see he's still performing some of the most unforgettable songs of all time...

[QueenCrazy46]

AWESOME! this is an absolute fantastic song! Howard is still as cute as always!

-Nikki.

[2439383]

Total cutie! Love this song and his accent! a song 4 anorexics! u can look at the menu but u just cant eat! Awesome!

[2439383]

Wait! Lets b politically correct. Food challenged!

[lcarmjer]

That was good.!!!

[AllieLuvs30STM]

He was the best and should have won this contest hands down! I don't know wth was wrong with the audience picking Irene Cara as the winner but at least he got the phone votes. I think he's really talented and I love this song! =]

[gloriousmaiden1]

i am not writing as a hj fan.i know howard as he is musical director of a buddhist choir of which i am member. we meet once a month and occasionally do public engagements. i have gigged with and also played piano to HJ. i was born in 1980 so remember virtually nothing about the 80s. its hard to fathom just what a big star he was back in the day.

[supasugacrisp]

Brings back so many fond memories!!

[ElVirtual2007]

It's nice to see that i'm not the only one who got old. Love this video and thanx for your comment. Keep on rocking.

[MChelada]

Wait a minute, he was on the charts TEN TIMES! What the $#@% is he doing on a One-Hit Wonders contest?

[TrejosEd]

I agree. he is SO MUCH BETTER than a "1 hit artist"

He was a WHIZ KID a WUNDERKIND and much more.. and STILL IS... Up HO-JO!

[kidzluvgunz]

Ooh my sweetness...i cant reveal my sources [lmfao] otherwise id have 2 dream up @ least 101 ways to make you yelp like a biatch when i apply chocolate sauce 2 your erogonous zones!! xmwahx like i luv ya ;D

[LiteraryDreams]

:O Where did you get the clip? :O 143 xxx
