This is so excellent! I just posted a comment about another vid of Luv Un where I felt they were lip-synching. THIS looks, sounds and feels absolutely authentic as a LIVE performance. I love this because it absolutely (to my mind) affirms and confirms that these ladies were the classy, sassy and ...

I love seeing the pictorials of the Sups. They're so pretty AND so beautiful.

They should have released this acapella as the single and just let folks remix it as they pleased. THAT would have KILLED!!!

@anntheia59 This clown face is a better singer than Marvin Gaye? !!!Q@!!!!!!!!~!!!!!!!

Your next album should start with this groove and run buck nekkid wild with funky-assed bass-lines, stripped down vocal lines, super smart lyrics and ear worm hooks. Dammit Janet, your voice and delivery are sexy enough; you do not need overt sexual content in the songs. You used to deliver albu...

Her epitaph:Great performer; LEGENDARY beauty.

Vastly under-appreciated album in my opinion. personally, I'd just lost a job (closed down) and learned that one who I thought was a great friend wasn't. Had to start over again. Broke and bruised. New job's manager was often mean spirited. Needed the money. Soldiered on. Listened to this CD ever...

I'm a fan of this singer/songwriter. Not every song, though. This is one of the songs I really admire. So beautifully written and rendered.

Too much production. I'd really love to HEAR this extremely talented artist. Who is this? What's she singing about? Can't hear her over the noise. Kelly, grab/write some great lyrics and give it a great melody and just sing your song to us. That's all we want. A chill, "unplugged," acoustic set w...

@crosbyshow87ful Yep. That bass line alone will be used and/or copied forever.

@Joy4EC Thanks for sending that track. I liked it more than a lot of what's on the Damita Jo collection. It's not that DJ was especially poor, simply that too many tracks sounded like polished tracks but not finished songs. Since Control, I've come to expect Janet albums with at least 2 bona fid...

One reason why this man will remain a legend -beyond the fact that he can rip your heart out with a searing honesty and that soaring voice- is his phrasing, mirroring Jazz and Blues musicians. He sings like an instrumentalist. Everything has value. He also tells a story with his songs. Singers wh...

I bought this CD the 1st week it came out. It's my 1st and only Eurythmics recording. I played it every day for almost a year. Mostly I played this song. Almost nobody has the courage to sing this way anymore- long, full, big notes. Love is so unimaginably huge.

Thank you so very much for posting this. I've been searching for this for over ten years. I heard Lennox do this on a morning news show those many years ago and she sang in this soaring soprano which blew me away. Absolutely magical and sublime. Thanks again.

Shhhh... Listen: Real singer. Real musician.

Bought the CD when it debuted. Loved it. Played it daily for almost a year. 1st time seeing this vid today. Assuming the WWII imagery is meant to be irony. Hmmm... I suspect, had this music collection been released post 9/11, this vid never would have been created. Interestingly, their "Peace" al...

Thunderstruck! 1st time seeing this vid or hearing this song. Stellar. Though, I think she's channeling kewl combo of Jagger and The Weather Girls. WOW! New fave.

@detweilcny Nina Simone was never a Pop singer. She had superior chops and a blazing talent as singer and songwriter and pianist. Back when she was recording in America, a Black woman who looked like her (dark-skinned- full lips, broad nose) was shunted aside in favor of Lena, Billie and Ella phe...

@Phillip7TheGreat Love is like a drug, it allows us to create an illusion of what we think we want. She removes the wig to expose the reality. She is still a very beautiful woman, but not quite what her obsessive fantasized. Then again, maybe she's the puppet master who's created the fantasy.

Whitney's "look" to Mariah is the one that all performers give to their teammates when they're about to hit a big moment. They're synchronizing. That's it. Pure and simple.

@Linternauter It hit #1, didn't it?

@animalsrockcatsrbest

I've enjoyed songs by many of the artists you cite, whether Country, Pop, Hip Hop, whatever. I also enjoy Jazz and Classical, but never thought I'd enjoy Grunge, but I do. My experience has been this: Great music touches YOUR soul. Great songs have no boundaries. Whitney ...

She's beautiful. Simply beautiful to look at; her startling music talent aside. Back in the day, she would have been a celebrated Botticelli beauty.

Truly FUNNY!!! Even with the cursing, they were still CLASS act!

Oh soulful ache and exquisite pain!

This was SO sweet! The younger singer held her own fairly well, I think. She's got pipes! I thought it was lovely how Whitney sang a lower harmony at the end rather than taking over the final moment. Loved it!

Respond to this video... What a gorgeous post. Lovely.

Oops... "might", not "mike."

For all the technical merit and near flawless runs, what hits me in my heart is that she's telling me a story. And she's FEELING it like she's living it right now. That's some kinda love- and pain.

@ilovemusic555

Tina Turner came before those you cited, however, there are many others before

Joplin. Joplin shined brightest early and flamed out quickest. Brilliant and awesome talent, she was.

Strangely, this reminds me of Judy Garland and Streisand singing together. Brilliant and a bit scary. Hope this outcome's different.

Waaaaay under-appreciated singer and all round entertainer. Interestingly, though, she reminds me less of Madonna than Annie Lennox.

It'll be interesting to see where she goes/evolves next.

The honesty in the lyric and the singing are simply amazing. Hurts so much and so painfully beautiful to watch. I love this brilliant, brilliant video.
