[@BigBass-xf5yi]

This can’t be an easy song to sing live. It almost sounds painful but yet brutally beautiful and emotionally wrenching. What music is supposed to do in my opinion.

[@atokoek6625]

La cancion suena asi porque ella fue operada de la garganta y la voz le quedo asi

[@cpurssey982]

She slaughters it 20 years later.

[@alanwoodwind5265]

She's always had a raspy voice, and had vocal problems over the years. It's extremely rare that a singer with a good amount of natural dirt (grit maybe a better description) in their voice can keep their voice intact. Ronnie James Dio is the only one I can think of, held on until he was 60. But even then he just couldn't hit the higher notes, he still had vocal power.

[@gcsiciliano]

Sooooo well put 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shermanmullen9526]

Yup I thought it was just me.

[@ailtonaraujo390]

Even with a problem with her voice, she didn't give up and made it her trademark. She is fantastic and this hit is immortal.

[@sseacre]

Agree 💯A true classic!

[@musicmangd]

The hair, the voice and the soul. I wouldn't give up growing up in the 80s for all the money in the world. I will be holding on to this decade with both hands forever.

COM CERTEZA E MUITA SAUDADE ❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@sinajakelic]

the amazing Rory Dodd as the male voice, the hidden gem of rock’n’roll. He sang rock’n’roll dreams come through and surf’s up on Jim Steinman’s solo album and did a lot of the demo recordings for Jim’s songs. Also sang as a backup singer for Meat. A timeless and underestimated voice. Bonnie glows as usual, and John Denver announcing is the cherry on top

[@bioluminescent6205]

Rory is a legend!!!

[@Kutjin]

Seems like the amazing Rory sings back vocals on this,. Amazingly as always!

[@tonyoliver2334]

Backup singer killed it as well. Heck of a pair of voices

[@cekerningdas7624]

He's the most underrated singer. He's Rory dodd

[@misterkota1252]

Those incredibly haunting backup vocals, man. Wow. Full goosebumps every time. (ON REPEAT FOREVER)

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Hell Yes !!! Too bad he wasn’t utilized just a little bit more in this song.

[@micahemerson388]

Dude I know, the backup vocals/harmonies in this song always get me

[@stephenbetley9596]

Rory Dodd of MeatLoaf fame. Amazing voice, made this song.

[@inlakesh555]

Rory Dodd. Jim Steinman featured him on the "Bad for good"-album😃👍

[@jamescatabay9694]

😂😂😂. a great performance live ..only u can't satisfied on that song @@BigBass-xf5yi

[@harrycurrie5295]

I'm so lucky I was a teenager in the, 80s loved her husky voice

[@Goodfella1960]

To sing that song live. Amazing!!!

[@marks.gregory460]

She deserved the Grammy

[@davidmuller9938]

She didn't win. Irene Cara won for Flashdance.

[@jomc7425]

Someone actually performing live at an award show.

[@josearaujo1679]

3 words the vocal trinity (Mariah Whitney and Celine)

[@killionkwe]

And managed to do it while keeping her clothes on

[@thathawaiiandude787]

……and sounding great, too??! I miss growing up during the 70’s and 80’s when I was spoiled with amazing musical artists. I was a sophomore when this came out. Loved it ever since. She sang the sh-it out f this one. Once she could hear the instruments. 😁 The great Jim Steinman….R.I.P., brother.

[@lulu7gaming535]

that's the way it used to be

[@hinjurock70]

She killed it here.

[@jeanpauljouicarvajal7315]

[@upinsmoke5035]

[@mikegentry1193]

I remember watching this live and being absolutely blown away. What a performance!

[@anniedowling1762]

I wish I had watched it … I was 9 years old with clueless parents. I missed watching Michael Jackson at the 1993 Super Bowl too. He was in the audience in 1984

[@richardbjrsvik2954]

The way the light shines on her hair, makes her look like an angel.

[@luciancombs4463]

Such a raw performance. No lip synch, no auto-tune, no synchronized anything. Just pure power vocals. I truly pity this generation that will never know that. Maybe Taylor Swift does it.

[@renanrpm]

Taylor Swift is a mediocre singer, she is definitely NOT a representative person to the “talented ones” category. Also, there was a lot of lipsynching in the 80s, basically every european tv show would make the artists lipsynch. Top of The Pops is really famous for the lipped performances.

[@luciancombs4463]

@@renanrpm Respectfully disagree. And, Madonna aside, if you really want to check vocals go to a concert or watch a live performance. Paramore, Debbie Harry, Beyonce, Evanescence, and yes, Swift, have amazing vocals. And Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill. I know there are others I'm just listing a few artists I listen to. And I dare ANYONE to go up against Nina Simone.

[@renanrpm]

@@luciancombs4463 Why are you citing all these current artists if I talked about the 80??? 🤡 And no, Taylor Swift is a poor singer. She has a bad technique, more speaking than actually singing and has a limited voice. If you understood a bit about vocals, you would never say she has amazing vocals 💀

[@luciancombs4463]

@@renanrpm Annie Lennox, Tina Turner, Laura Branigan, The Cocteau Twins, Lita Ford, Tanita Tikaram, Toni Childs, Joan Jett, Olivia Newton John. You're being a jerk just to be a jerk. Have fun with that.

[@renanrpm]

@@luciancombs4463 What are all these names? It doesn’t matter how many names you bring, it’s a fact that almost every tv programm would make artist lipsynch in the 80s. Even amazing singers as Whitney Houston would lipsynch due to that. Stupid 💀🤡🫏

[@kenteoth]

Comparing this to the studio…I think this version of her voice should have been the actual recording….it’s real and raw and the TRUE CHARACTER of her voice shines through…..she sounds so much younger on this version, more like a teenage girl sounding so pure and innocent….this is by far my favorite version , especially when Rory gives his true voice…. I LOVE IT!!

[@greatkingrat]

God, what a darling. She’s so beautiful and that voice. Unique and unforgettable. Love it.

[@nlv9848]

Best live ever of this song! She never sang this song better than this.

[@bagdadakimbayev8444]

Now that’s when Rock was ruling the world!!! Amazing!!!

[@rvnmedic1968]

I listen to all of it except for the 90s and up. The 1970s ruled but also when it blended into the 80s. Each decade had its own major hits and styles. I'll be 77 next month and I lived through the transition from country and pop to the early rock songs. Cheers to all!

[@xophsl479]

Impressive. She didn't even alter the studio version's high notes

[@ncast54]

That node of approval by Gladys knight at the end of the song said it all. What a magnificent performance

[@SLAmey-mu9hd]

And this kids is how you sing live. Overflowing with power and emotion. Imperfection is what makes performances like these perfect. Absolutely stunning vocal delivery.

[@NikkieTwix]

I love the way she flings her shoulder back right on the beat, such a great performer

[@federicochang3249]

And yet after this larger than life rendition, she lost to Flashdance by Irene Cara. Another classic gem, quite different but quite good to. 40 years later and both are not strangers on my random playlists… and 40 yrs later and we seldom get any song that catches our souls and ears like this one. Damn better music times.

[@damiankelly-i8i]

That was a worthy song to lose to!

[@katielovatt5112]

My grandfather loved this song and so I listened to it a lot growing up and when I was older I realised this woman taught me to sing from my heart
