Arguably the greatest female singer songwriter and performer, ever! Annie is Iconic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ehLeanne311]

I know i can't believe some documentary that was saying she flopped early in her career and was going to through the towel in struggling before they changed their image before Sweet Dreams and she was going to throw the towel in

[@animaljustice7774]

Go Scotland!

[@john78lewis]

Damn, what a voice. Some singers can't hold it anymore as they age, but she's amazing.

[@louise_rose]

Oh yes, she has the range and ability to project (and colour) her voice like a flame - a quality very reminiscent of great opera singers. By the way I think she did "Little Bird" twice that day - I have a clear memory of seeing her performing it on a smaller stage out in the street (watched it on TV) sometime in the afternoon, with a smaller band, a more stripped-down version but with just as fine vocals.

[@andrewcarroll7641]

This tune is a Banger & Annie's voice is timeless & pitch perfect.

[@NatureandSpirit111]

Man! Annie has got to be one of those one-take singers in the studio. Amazing live sound and incredible voice as it ever was.

[@louise_rose]

Bet she is, just like David Bowie and Ian Gillan often were.

[@robertczwartek4709]

One of the very few singers who sound life almost as good as the studio recording. What a talent! Love her since I was a teenager.

[@jeffcomstock3164]

No words can properly convey just how incredible this woman's voice is.

[@leedorney]

It's got it all 🙏 total power! I once seen Alison Moyet live and she was brilliant and would love to see Annie 😍

[@juliandarch9278]

Vocals do though😂

[@sturmgesutz]

Wonderous talent, and a incredible voice, a voice like no other. No electronic studio mods, no auto tune, nothing needed.. just Annie's natural Contralto powerhouse voice.

[@liopleurodon3422]

amazing annie a voice at the highest level that makes you dream

[@HillaryBTV]

*This song brings back the best memories with my mom 🥺❤️ My mom would grab two hair brushes and we’d pretend they were microphones and we would sing this together and dance! I miss the simple days!* ❤️🙏

[@bethmendez9498]

She looks like the aunt everybody wants to have....

[@filthyclown8033]

She actually looks like my aunt 😂

[@deanbrady2841]

Seriously man she must be in her 50s the voice absolutely on point without doubt Scotland’s best female artist ever

[@autentyk5735]

She was voted the ten greatest female artist in the history of rock.

[@pamelaadams6290]

Unbelievably talented.

[@joyzus2001]

Year born in 50's, 1954 - saw her live in 2004 voice and performance live the best!!!

[@susankeller164]

100 best says Rolling Stone. What do they know, I says world's best female rock singer! Hands down! AND she's kind....😃🎶🖤⭐

[@humankindmedia9741]

She was 50 at the time of this performance. Name 10 singers who brought it like this, vocals and dancing, male or female. Okay, then name 5. Yep, she's about the only one, other than another Anne, and that would be Anne Wilson. Maybe Linda Ronstadt and Chaka Khan. Annie Lennox is the queen.

[@robramsay6408]

What a genius she is. Proud to be scotish and live. Who is watching this ?

[@robg4729]

Why are you proud over something you aren't responsible for? Weird.

[@lyndaclancy7643]

In 2022!

[@robramsay6408]

I was responsible for everything you say .​@@robg4729

[@humankindmedia9741]

Who was better than Annie Lennox in her prime? Correct, no one. How I love this woman. What a performance.

[@alexrichinho1319]

Dua Lipa have wet dreams of sounding this good

[@jackson4socks]

A lot of singers do

[@johnsudron1942]

Staggeringly gifted.

[@grxengine6188]

Is it just me? I have this strange feeling in my pants every time I see this woman sing this song!

[@nicoladoyle8011]

Absolutely fabulous, this is my best song of all time! It’s makes me cry but happy at the same time xx quality xxxx

[@georgechristopher4179]

Effortless. She is SO AMAZING

[@marcocruz4856]

Whenever I listen to this song: My mind flies to the moment when Demi Moore comes out of having bathed and starts dancing this song with her towel on her head 😍

[@autentyk5735]

Whose doesn't..

[@DW-yv6cx]

I think everybody....

[@stevengatewood2725]

How do you not thumbs up awesome Annie?! Love her.

[@alanhobden8847]

At the age of seventy five there aren't many artists that can still give me shivers but Annie is certainly one of them.

[@hossesarse]

Wow. First time seeing this. I grew up seeing her vids in the 80s, thinking she was the weird chick with short hair and men's attire in the Eurythmics, but she actually has a voice. This was an experience. I am in tears.

[@southface06]

"she actually has a voice" is quite the understatement :) You have some musical gems to discover, her solo albums Diva, Medusa, and Bare are fantastic

[@MasterJammer]

I watched this live. It was this performance that introduced me to Annie/Eurythmics. Lifelong fan 😃

[@traciebolton1951]

She can really sing live! 💘

[@Sam-nb9kr]

This song is so good and perfect 👍 because she was 38 years old the same age as me now because me 39 next year and the year after that I will be my biggest 40 so um 😶 since I was a little baby I had a kidney problem so so thank you so so much Annie I love your music videos but this video was so so amazing just like you my darling I love you Annie your a perfect singer and a perfect person and songwriter but the best video ever is little bird right you planted the video was sooooo right for and my favourite video as well is um 😶 I love to listen to behove xxxxx

[@itosilva71]

I love song and great performance 🎼🎼🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️👏👏

[@mensamoo]

Live voice... same as studio voice. What an act.

[@roseagaatsz8403]

You rock Annie 👀superb performance 🎤🎧🎼❤️

[@marieblue]

In this piece, the little bird has fallen from the nest, and it’s time to see if “she” can fly. For Annie Lennox, it was a matter of taking flight as a solo artist after a decade in the Eurythmics. Despite her unimpeachable reputation as one of the greatest vocalists of her time, she doubted herself. The little bird did indeed fly : her album “Diva” (1992) was embraced by fans and most critics. In America, “Diva” earned the Scottish singer-songwriter a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. In her native UK, it won the Brit for Best British Album of the Year. Furthermore, Lennox collected her fifth Best Female Solo Artist trophy at the ceremony❕ In the video, a pregnant Lennox serves as master of ceremonies as various actresses show up in the looks she used in previous vids. She recalled : “When I was about to make the video with Sophie Muller, I was seven months pregnant, so […] I came up with the idea of finding look-alikes to represent some of my different ‘personas’ […]. We held this audition that was probably one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Sophie and I were in the darkness of a theatre, while people queued up to present their version of what they thought could be a potential ‘Annie Lennox’ performance. It was the maddest thing.” Let’s agree, Ann Lennox is one of a kind‼️ 💚🐦💜

[@hen-l]

Blimey, I never knew the depth was so great, I just knew it was such a video, But i knew the vocal had great depth the in moment, but to such a crazy extent?! No. Awesome: performance and raw talent alike.

[@marieblue]

[@RobertAller-s9z]

Annie is an absolute powerhouse It is a privilege to listen to her

[@saltedllama2759]

She also took us home at the end of the brilliant Lord of the Rings trilogy with "Into the West." She's brilliant. SIDE NOTE: Does anyone still picture Demi Moore dancing naked to this song? No? Just me then...
