They were way too talented to resort to gimmickry like this. The costumes and "novelty act" flourishes are exactly what they said diluted the music and boxed them into a corner in the '70s. Not a high point in their career, that's for sure.

@yougottabee I get it, but they can package their talent in many forms: fun/serious/quirky/trendy, etc...

great songs, great voices, great dancing, WHY the costumes!! i mean, sci fi meets KISS... they could have done quite better w something more simple, like a dress and heels. the song is fabulous though

I think they look cool they have tons of energy and when you are the pointer sisters you look great in anything you wear!

PEACE AND LOVE

@leftfieldmind agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lady gaga is never even close to 5% on what the Pointer sisters did or had accomplished. June Anita and Ruth will always be on top. Always be the number one female group. The youth of today....... geez! I pity those kids.

Thanks so much for sharing. The P.S. are so great even when dressed up like that !!!!!!!!

This reminds me of the movie 'Foxes' where Madge says: " He (a pimp) can hypnotize you like a cobra and the next thing you know you are out on the Boulevard dressed like the Pointer Sisters." That was a classic line!

Lord help us, what a nasty era the 1980's and '90's were for talented women. YUCK.

Audience is just about to loose control!! LOL =)

@yougottabee I think they're just putting on a show. This wasn't their schtick for everything. But even the best of singers can be a bit boring just standing there and singing the whole time (especially when it's an uptempo song).

[leftfieldmind]

yet this was 88 ppl,,,, in the 70's they were doing Jazz, both great genre's for them but they hit it BIG in the 80's when they changed to pop... and REALLY with lady gaga coming out of an EGG at the grammies, REALLY... at least these ladies had REAL talent and could sing lady gag, and yes i said GAG, WAY under the table...... ppl worry and write about the LAMEST things on youtube,, gripping about the outfits and shoes, REALLY.. these women BUST it out,, WHO CARES what they wear.. GEEZ
