She still sounds great, and it's so good to see someone who knows how to use a microphone.

[@mezza001]

clearly we can see many young people in the crowds who appreciates the 80s music!! Respect!

[@bjohnson1489]

Had good parents

[@ulyssesfilmchannel]

Great to see Carol still looking and sounding so good after all these years.

[@ukissumaru2538]

I was born '93 But I crying every time I hear 80's song. It's like time travel from my life before

[@julianmarsh7993]

Carol stole the show......Nailed it.

[@Win-xl7no]

Had my first slow dance at school disco to this absolute masterpiece back in the 80s. I remember dancing awkwardly, walking out of there with my girlfriend, having a snog out in the playground, and then coming back in for a second dance to The time of my life from dirty dancing. Happy memories. She was lovely.

[@johnchristiananderson5242]

Gosh! Her voice sounds as good as it did in the 80s! 👍💕

Thirty years only enhanced her already epic voice. This version would make for an awesome rerelease.

[@mandymarshall9220]

Carol Decker has got an incredible voice!! This is a very special performance with the orchestra....LOVE IT!! ❤

[@ofoulis1125]

Amazed by this orchestration. Her voice is still powerful and does justice to the original but the arrangement is MUCH BETTER. Speechless.... Thanks for the upload.

Pretty common comment, Adele, Pink etc can’t hold a note? There was a lot of crap music and singers in the 80’s too we just don’t hear it anymore.

[@ianmuir6217]

Goosebumps. Thanks Carol.

Great. Her voice even better than back in the 80s, more open, freer, warmer, more mature.

This has always been a great song since day one and I am sure I am not the only one who feels as though Carol Decker's voice sounds better now she is older.
