Top of the pops - February 1981 Part 4

Joe Dolce - I'm sure he is probably a really nice bloke but his bl--dy record did my head in. Mind you so did Fred Wedlock with "Oldest Swinger in town" ( and I probably am now !)

this and amoureuse are brilliant ...

I LOVE this song as I had commented on it earlier but the ONLY thing I find disappointing with this performance is that she just stands in one place&hardly even moves.This sounds like the kinda song that a singer should be moving around the stage to but she just stands there EXTREMELY awkwardly as if she has NO clue what she needs to do with her hands&feet.I don't believe in insulting she sounds GREAT but I just couldn't help commenting on that. A bit of a boring performance for lack of moves.

hi, cameras in them days weren t as advanced as to be able to follow her around like today. Listen to her singing ON A MAGIC CARPET RIDE her best song in my opinion.

ooh I think you are being a little unfair. She moves plenty and she certainly doesn't look awkward. In fact I think she looks perfectly comfortable and composed. imho :)

I guess after the video revolution we've become used to multiple shots, fast edits, lights, dancing and the whole thing but back then the style was more static.

I bet if you looked at any performance from that time you'll find it much more restrained than a modern performance.

is it just me getting old or did music sound so much better years ago?

it is him

Poor Kik singing crappy Eleton John pop songs. You know she actually had quite a fine voice. Her first song was called Amerouse and it could take your breath away.

it looks so tacky and dated!!!!-yes she had a great voice but very cabaret

You're right about Visage. and the album is a classic!
