Because of Annie, this is one of the few times my eyes were not 100% glued to Bowie. What an amazing talent and beauty she is.

Perfect Woman

[@triggerpointtechnology]

I met David Bowie while piloting a jet he chartered. While walking back to use the facilities I caught his eye and said: “Under Pressure with Annie Lennox, one of the best performances of all time”. He just grinned at me and politely nodded his head in acknowledgment. That was all.

[@badbudgie1539]

How cool is that !

[@bigbasil1908]

Sadly he had probably had the same comment made to him a thousand times. This would result in an underwhelming response from him

[@erik3371]

[@bonniesimpson1636]

Exactly. He was such a class act, that was the perfect response. Good grief this Kardashian world. ​@erik3371

Annie, to me, is the only person I can imagine ever living up to Freddie's shoes on this. She performs beautifully. Shivers.

[@contrabbasso76]

Absolutely agree. How easy it would’ve been to cheese up all of Freddie’s scat singing improv, and yet she performed it in her own style and nailed it.

Annie hears the crowd at 1:11 she acknowledges their contribution with a nod and finger-point, transforming their bond, and at 1:18 David purely watches with amazement. Stunning performance by Annie, David, the audience, all backed by Queen?!!? We lived in great times and we knew it.

Annie did one of the best performances on the concert

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Agreed!!!!!!! She looked exquisite and sassy and feminine and everything else, I can't stop listening and watching especially when she says "That's okkkkaaayyyy" and stomps her way forward to the part where she sings about her brains across the floor...these are the days ❤️

Must have watched this a dozen times… it difficult to upstage Bowie, but Annie Lennox steals the show… a command performance

[@craigbuckland6584]

She's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen anyone sing someone else's song better. I also believe one of Bowie's greatest gifts was his ability to allow people to take charge when it was called for. He didn't seem to have an ego in that way

[@Pittip2]

david is a little princess after all.

[@gwenwachsman3739]

Annie is such a natural beauty and performer. She enraptured the viewer with her theatrical style.

[@ernestortiz9496]

I used to blast this version of the song in my college days back with friends in Austin, TX. I actually had the tribute concert on VHS. Now I’m alone in NY and as I watch this my emotions run the extreme from despair to joy. I’d love a genuine hug as I watch this on my phone in bed. A hug is not going to happen but I’m return I send hugs out to anyone who is reading this. This thing called life - we are all in it together!!

Two legends at the peak of their Art, with Anne doing justice to Freddy singing a song so hard to sing. Anne had retired from doing live shows until David offered her the role as a Duet, bringing the crowd to a frenzy. What a great day for the artist and fans to remember Freddy.

[@1974greymalkin]

Can’t help but bursting into tears. Today I spenti it celebrating the life of David through his music. Of course I stumbled upon this masterpiece where he was celebrating another beautiful talent, with Annie being absolutely marvelous. I instantly felt so lucky, I’m living in a world where artists like Bowie and Mercury existed and keep living through music. Sometimes we give things for granted, but we need to acknowledge this is a great gift. Rest in peace.

[@SuzannaKiraly]

Her voice gets amplified for a big live performance so that all the people can hear it. Also, performers do give more effort for a live performance because more effort is needed there.

[@tomasandrew9354]

In rehearsal some singers “mark” their vocals, meaning that they don’t sing at full capacity, usually to save their voice for the actual day. But the other thing is you also want to keep an element of surprise and spontaneity for the live performance in order to blow everyone away, which she obviously did. She knew what she was doing in the rehearsal.
