I don't follow current pop music fanatically (I hear the most popular songs periodically just by virtue of them floating my way), but you have to admit: "today's music sucks compared to the crap from when I was young" is a BS assessment, and has been so every decade since music was invented. Surely, if you remember 80s 90s music being good, you remember Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation taking a steamy dump all over it.

Susanna couldn't really reach that high note. Studio only, probably took her a bunch of takes to reach it. This appearance was a lip-sync of the released single. If you watch recorded live performances, you'll see she always had to dial the volume way back to reach that note. It was an awesome ballad.

One thing about the "visuals" and beauty of the group that always gets disregarded/set aside is how all members are so beautiful and magical in their own ways, you have Susana who completely took over the fans and made so many people (and cameras) fall in love with her for her alluring eyes and mermaid strong voice, but she also stands out thanks to the strong presence of the other girls, who are all taller and longer than her, with strong facial structures that really remind me of witches from another era (and I say this as a heartfelt compliment to them), creating a beautiful balance with her petite frame and delicate voice plus features. Susana alone can take over fans, music, but altogether proved to be not only underrated af til today, but also power vocals and a legendary group.

[@RobertGamble-b6l]

Wonderful arrangement by this classic 1980s female group, The Bangles, epitomises that essence of creativity that emerged in the halcyon period of popular music in those three classic decades, 1960-90 and continues to be pursued by those connoisieurs of romance, love and desire that permiated that era. This US group of four Jewish girls from California left to right, sisters Vicky & Debbie Petersen, lead singer Susanna Hoff and Michaela, produced one of the most polished live performances of any contemporary group, standing before their microphones effusing a result equal to any studio production much to the rapturous applause of the audience at Countdown UK, initially in anticipation, and ultimately at the concluding phrase "Do You Understand", even though acceptance of the comprehension of understanding only intensifies the desire expressed in their vocals and harmony, but does not make the reality any easier in our asset driven culture of now. The Eternal Flame perpetuates the ultimate quest of hope as time passages prolong the driven passion expressed by that sought within The Eternal Flame. Susanna Hof in the verse after the guitar solo hits the highest of high notes, superb from such a petite persona. Ultimately the girls step back from their microphones as they conclude with the perennial question to those on the outer, "Do You Understand" (no not really in an emotional guise, but maybe as the reality of fiscal essence, but that does not make acceptance any easier} and the girls stand humbly to the rapturous applause, hands behind their backs. Time has passed and they are all now in their sixties, married with families confronting the challenges that are embodied by father time and mother nature, but we can all be grateful that in 1989, this performance was captured for eternity and allows us to be submerged within the aura of emotion expressed by this superb female quartet.

Desde de 86 que acompanho essa banda magnífica,e essa voz marcante da suzanna. Oh tempo bom que não volta mais. Tempos em que se havia músicas de verdade.

Música linda e nostálgica da época que eu era criança. Lembro que tocava naquela novela "Que Rei Sou Eu".

Exatamente meu caro. Época que a rede Globo ainda fazia coisas boas. Que saudade. Eu era adolescente e ficava ouvindo o LP da novela e era a música que eu mais gostava. Tempos sem funk, sertanojo e estas coisas barulhentas que chamam de música. Fico observando como a cultura decaiu em tão pouco tempo.

Looks don’t mean she is a joy to live with dude, now put it away.

@@Slurped836@markwells2802 Well, they've been married for 231 years now, so I think that validates her being wife material.

There are very few people more beautiful than Ms Hoff They are yet to be born.

Beautiful song, but what pushes it it over the top to classic are the powerful background vocals. Wow. God bless whoever arranged this incredible work of art. Susanna....OMG. Thank you for sharing your talent.

What a voice.... What an amazing talent to control both herself AND the entire crowd! We absolutely ate it up back in the day! Where is she now? Probably is still the same!

I can attest, she's still singing and yes she's still smoking hot!

The lead singer knows how to use the camera.....and the other girls are such great complimentary voices. We need more fun shows like "Countdown", "Top of the Pop" and "American Bandstand." The lead must be one of the best ever at adoring her fans, the moment and the people watching on television.

This song takes me back to the club in Germany I was frequenting. I met a guy and we were hanging out the rest of the night with his friends. This song came on and underneath the table, he took my hand. It was such an incredible feeling. Two days later, I left to move to the US. Whenever I hear the song, it brings me back to that night, wondering what might have been.
