This performance must be one of the best ever given by any artist.

[@larissanoon]

Annie live is..... perfection ❤️

[@000_x9]

Her song cold is pretty remarkable too.

[@СтаньоКоновски]

Couldnt agree more , brother! Couldnt agree more!

[@johnk.8688]

I have been a soldier for the last 30 years. And Annie Lennox is the only one that made me cry

[@pescapuma]

🤟🏼

[@davidlammas3629]

Possibly the best performance by any human being, ever.

[@az-bb8qf]

Back here again in June 2024…. Pure, pure emotion. Still give me the chills when I hear this

[@СтаньоКоновски]

Respect! Love! Life! ❤❤❤ Larger than life!!! Always!!! And forever!!!

[@nathdizaradi6775]

Here in 2023.. the feelings and emotions that run through my body and soul can't be put to words listening to this mesmerising performance.. thank you for this.. cant get enough of it.. heard it so many times and will listen to it many hundreds of times more throughout my life.. I'm a man down to the bone and yet it speaks to each one of our soul man, women or otherwise.. love you Annie.. thank you ...

[@SpiralsHappen]

Meanwhile 15 years later at the 2015 Grammy's Annie Lennox still has it.

[@shadeydude6678]

I'm a man... I'm a man who goes out and loves to fight... I'm a man who loves hockey, who loves Harleys, who loves Van Halen and anything Rock and Roll !!! But more than anything I love powerful songs!!! This is a Powerful, Powerful, Powerful song, that stops me in my tracks, and immediately brings me to tears!!! What a beautiful, sad, and powerful song, backed by an equally beautiful singer, in Annie Lennox!! Thank you!!!

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

yes

[@IgiWhiteman]

Amen, brother

[@CarlosSanchez-kd8et]

I agree with you

[@wandaprescott6672]

Your a Man ? Really...

[@FIZZYTOP]

Loves to fight lol shut up stupid

[@notsodelusional]

Over twenty years later - I still get chills when I listen to this.

[@miguelmelo8735]

So do i ...i love her so much she is wonderful!!

[@Neuroneos]

I love how she leaves the room immediately after her performance lol, hey I'm Annie Lennox just came here to blow you away and go back to my room :)

[@gnelj7298]

Hands-down, this is her best performance of ‘Why’ ever. She made you know “how she feels.”

[@tishawarren2653]

I cannot listen to this song without it bringing me to tears. It puts into words the emotions of my relationship with my daughter. It's a painfully, beautiful song.

[@lisacolbert5987]

Yes , this masterpiece speaks to the often gut-wrenching human experience of love in all of it’s forms. None any less powerful than another. Three+ years after my mom passed, what is the biggest thing I want her to know, that I hope and pray that she knows? The words and the way they are expressed here tells it all.

[@Maelle-Liraz]

Absolument, I feel the same way to you! ❤

[@69100leegrant]

This is the art and power of music that needs to be expressed more frequently. Incredible live performance.

[@alicesteanson4097]

I totally agree there is nobody on this planet like Annie

[@kasienkakaminska6915]

Art and power of music

[@RealGrover]

Desperately needed some goosebumps. Came to the right place.

[@mr.forster2939]

Truly one of the greatest female singers of all times.

[@jaywar69]

Without a doubt... one of the best female voices ever !

[@chrissyhammond9089]

Absolutely!!!🎶🎤💞

[@justincadzow382]

I agree with that

[@MARTIN-bd7gm]

Best voices period man or woman

[@lindajenkins5092]

Too bad her eldest daughter refuses to acknowledge that her Mom, Anne Lennox influenced her to sing. So sad.

[@lindajenkins5092]

What a beautiful song. Gosh.

[@iminthemomentru3003]

A standing ovation before she even walks 10 feet on stage.That's what happens are one of top 5 women singers of all time. ... Her range is almost untouchable!

[@nathanrobbin6341]

When you....

[@sacredaustin]

I simply cannot imagine opening my mouth and hearing that.. gift.... leave my soul and lips.... God Almighty.... I am just in awe of her.

[@Smittenhamster]

"A true artist" - Truer words cannot be spoken.

[@CARMSFAV]

True....SO TRUE!

[@ЮраСердечний]

Казковий , музичний інструмент, голос Енні Леннокс, як завжди не перевершений. БРАВО !!!❤❤❤

[@beanmchne]

The great ones make it look so damn easy. Perfection.

[@thomasaonyango]

OMG! I love you Annie Lennox. . . I thank the Lord for the blessing that is your life. And I will never be able to know how you feel but I know that you know how I feel. God bless you always.

[@frankcharlton1234]

Lost a good friend today sat here listening to sad songs that’s how I feel but this lass always makes me feel good thank you

[@craig893]

There are so few artist (truest form of the word) that could deliver this song in the range that she did, the raw emotion that she showed AND dead stop,TWICE, turn to the audience and grin. As if to say, "You're eating this shit up...ain't ya'?! It's not arrogant, or cocky. It's a self-assuradness that's pure and warranted. She's even a little embarassed when she got the standing ovation before the song and after. A diva with humility. A rare trait.

[@SterlingRe]

Such a moving piece of music. I never tire of this song. Annie is astounding.

[@robbiewilliams8569]

I would love to go see her. I just looked her up, no shows😢.

[@brianbrantley4067]

The Great Annie Lennox.

[@MSkallywagg]

No autotune just pure class, something very few have and almost none of the so-called artist have now

[@CSM100MK2]

lmao ok boomer

[@FondelMikeRotch]

@@CSM100MK2 Will Bieber doesn’t count

[@bstb1958]

powerful stuff Annie and the timbre in her voice is like an arrow to your soul

[@simepanda6764]

One of the best live performances EVER!!

[@illusorynj]

[@yarbest]

[@bobtucker8705]

[@drewmurdaugh424]

[@leesanders1407]

[@pauljordan4452]

WHY do you suppose that is?

[@leesanders1407]

It’s not

[@sg9077]

What a Queen.

[@BestHBCU]

Awesome! A mesmerizing performance. I love watching it!!!. She loved it as much as we did. Great.

[@airbagradiohead]

One of those performances you have to hear before you die!

[@DavideGarrone-pn4fo]

[@ohMamarazziScrapbookingVicky]

Damn, this was a heartwrenching performance! I freaking love it!

[@donaldterry3017]

Listening to it..10 years later it's still a 360 slam dunk..Last second Touchdown...Walkoff Grand Slam..in ONE. BRAVO ANNIE!!

[@louisgargallo2734]

Quelle interprétation, quel talent, quelle performance artistique. Merci Madame Lennox pour votre oeuvre 😘❤️

[@MarcosSouza-gb9hj]

What does it take to turn this beautiful ballad into a masterpiece? A voice,a piano and "a little bit of" soul...And Annie came up with it. Bravo!!!

[@bryanstock281]

10 - I mean, what improvement could you make? This is what one can produce when they have raw talent and then master their craft. Absolutely crushed it. Wow

[@shastrishoon4109]

Deep sigh of wow. This song is heartbreaking, and wonderful all at the same time.

[@ashdravencrow6328]

She’s the best underrated singer of all time. Annie LenNOx is truly a legEnd! The world does nOt deserves her talent!

[@davidimhoff2118]

One if not the best performance of this song. The way she's able to go do crescendos and decrescendos is unreal. I didn't grow up with her music except for knowing sweet dreams but the older I get the more I appreciate her vocals

[@matthewsims9512]

I love this. I can't imagine how many times I've shared it. I love the fist pump at the end. One of, if not THE most riveting solo performance I think I've ever seen.

[@dmbassa]

I agree, Sir. She is absolutely mindblowing. Especially in this particular performance, and I'm not even a fan. I just think she's great.

[@BestHBCU]

I agree. I love the first time she stops playing and looks at the audience. I love to watch her enjoying her skill and talent. It's not arrogance. It's just being confident and comfortable sharing something that others appreciate.

[@Gollam99]

Check out the other ones, too. Every time a different version. And every single one is fantastic, in a different way.

[@davidwhirled6024]

if you love this as much as I do, and I think you do, then see Nina Simone , the ballad of Hollis Brown,,, and enjoy,,,, peace

[@nathanrobbin6341]

performances...

[@saracampana771]

I don't even try to define this performance, anytime I listen to it, I let myself FEEL it

[@adamswitlak1242]

This is obe of the best live performances I have ever seen in my life.

[@bizfix11]

This is as badass as live music gets

[@bobtucker8705]

why cant you see this boat is sinking? I am destroyed, love you Annie

[@thoughtcriminal7036]

Wow, what a talent. She is so gracious and all class the way that she enters the stage. A true beauty.

[@jenderamos1787]

This song makes me cry........so beautiful, so poetic, and the music is simply magical.

[@JerseyCWP]

She is only of a few female singers that get me choked up just about every time she performs.

[@foliaguardada]

there's another pianist assisting Annie

[@kirkwatson1442]

I don't want to...cry

[@veganfoodconfidential67]

This song……. hits the emotional strings in my heart…strips and bleeds it raw.

The depths of artistic talent between Annie and Dave. Just wow. During the Eurythmics years he was out front as the genius of the music. When Lennox came out with her solo work it was a revelation.
