Ain’t she??

[@RuthKagl]

Girls just wanna have fun ..Watching in 2024❤

[@frankpalacios8120]

Cyndi. God bless you, and give you so much life years.

[@LinkRocks]

One of the best vocalist in our lifetime. She's way more than an image, she's talent.

[@popland1977]

I recently made a video explaining the backstory behind True Colors. You might enjoy it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJbZnZSnmL2SocU

[@ronylira8219]

Most underrated female vocalist from the 80

[@rabit818]

Now that is a live performance.

[@RosaBecerra-o4l]

Que Linda La Musica Y Voz Tan Linda Y Fina Me Encanta La Guitarra Suena Excelente Maravillosa

[@RosaBecerra-o4l]

[@arnoldespiritu3822]

She's really amazing. Hew voice seems to ger more powerful and higher the longer she sings. What energy and stamina and how she hold her compusure from all those mischievous fans...

[@komalley35]

Cyndi grew up in Brooklyn and Queens. The front row troublemakers didn't stand a chance.

[@davedillon1372]

Somebody got a shoe! Haha BTW- READ THE CREDITS TO THE 1st lp- I think it's half of Letterman's Band in the studio with her. She mixed up every single show I've seen the video of, regardless of the country, continent, night. That first LP was tough to beat.

[@adameves5970]

Queens native.

[@rosapreciado5737]

I so miss this decade. the music was amazing

[@JoseAguilar-oq2mi]

Always that I watch this concert I've fallen in love more and more.... I really love ❤❤❤CYNDI LAUPER❤❤❤. She's the BEST female voice pop EVER. thanks for sharing this magic concert. I don't got words to express so love for her.

[@ICTS22]

I've been listening to her songs since I was a kid but this is the first time I have ever seen her perform. I didn't realize that Cyndi was a real one all these years. She absolutely blew that Prince song out of the water.

[@albertorkenbjorken]

god i love this woman. ever since i was lil. she is just so amazing

[@sandrasaenz6100]

True creativity is only expressed by those few inmortal beings who don't care what others think of them!!!!! She was the best voice, song-writer, and female performer of the 80"s!!!!

[@ronnelbaday228]

The one & only cindy lauper is the best music energetic entertainer

[@smokeyjoe127]

Whoever was here live are some of the luckiest people alive because this was one of the greatest performances EVER

[@AMEER-114-]

You summed it up... Incredible...I was 14 then.. Loved her... But its even better now cause we see how real and precious it is when compared with the emptiness of the souless demons performing today

[@hermilamiranda8910]

I like watching Cindy Lupper because she motivates the whole crowd everybody in her concerts this is the type of people that we need here on earth people that will motivate everybody

[@theodorebradshaw9352]

Cindi is the quintessential performer ,singer etc. U are the best.

[@tonym5062]

I enjoyed her in the 80s. But im now really realizing i underappreciated her

[@jamespage7998]

Better late than never. ❤️

[@wayne_twentyfive]

WOW !!! .. That has got to be up there with the best live performances I've ever seen ! .. She has an AMAZING voice, and sounds just as good if not better than she does on her recordings .. and all during a very energetic display which would leave most singers struggling for breath .. Words can not describe just how GREAT this is !!!

[@AMEER-114-]

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@@AMEER-114- You're right .. I can't think of many ( if any ) modern day singers who could match this kind of talent and performance .. She was one of a kind, for sure !

[@davedillon1372]

2 years later than your comment - agreed. Madonna got pop ular but Cyndi Lauper had a real range - like Patti Lupone! When that first live version of Money Changes Everything came out: one black Chuck Taylor, one white Chuck & she has class. All mixed down‽ Nahh

[@garla5851]

I Miss The 80 ‘s !! 🥹

[@zoiloflores8700]

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SINGERS OF HER TIME. SHE DESERVES MORE THAN SHE'S GETTING RIGHT NOW.

[@jonidelara8632]

She's a part of my teenage life !!! ❤❤❤❤i love all her songs

[@Laffingrl]

I never appreciated her as much then as I do now. She is a unique talent! Wow!

[@rdm8524]

that was the thing. She was kind of crazly underpreciated back in the days tho all the success she had and iconic she was. I guess Madonna was well more commercial and Cyndi was and still all sentiments and hearted. No comparison at all

[@Stefanoantoniolli]

@@rdm8524 perfect 👌🏻👌🏻

[@dejavudf]

[@박기준-o4s]

Cyndi, you are the best live pop singer. And he's a true leader of the stage who does his best. I'm just amazed at the sound of the soul. Please stay with us and stay healthy^^

[@mariodelarosa2807]

She is the meaning of true artist.

[@mikewilder6728]

Please! She's a bubblegum, commercial singer. It's just pop for the everyone. Nothing artistic.

[@mariodelarosa2807]

Fame doesn’t automatically mean a lack of artistry, just like being underground doesn’t always mean someone is a great artist. She actually sounds better live than on her albums-she’s got stage presence, an incredible voice, and a live band that really adds to the experience. On her She's So Unusual album, she leans more into rock than pop, but even as a pop artist, she's fantastic. I actually listen to metal music, but when an artist this good releases great music, it hits differently. You can really feel the emotion behind her work, and I wish more commercial music had that kind of impact these days! cheers

[@acedd100]

Elle n'est pas seulement une artiste de studio. Un véritable talent et certainement sous-estimé dans le milieu. Que ce soit sur disque ou en spectacle, sa performance est la même. Bravo Cindy

[@ZiggyTheAdventurer]

one of the greatest singers performers of all time, they don't make-um like this anymore.

[@markarend8226]

For me Personal,the Performance of money is the best ive ever saw,pure,real and just great!

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

I did not appreciate Cyndi at the time, I was busy being young and stupid. But today I realize, she was 30 or 31 years old here, she was calculating and very talented, and AWESOME live!

[@andrewpotok2661]

Same here. I'm 63 and just realizing how great she sings. Performs. Dances

[@briankinney3140]

There is absolutely no one like cyndi lauper and those days are gone but she will always be a part of my life. She was kooky and fun and eccentric and passionate and smart

[@shee613]

I love Cyndi💓 I've loved her since I went to high school!! ····for 25 years. Her songs are special. The more I listen, the more I like it. She is very cuuuute!! And she's cool and powerful!!!(*≧∀≦*)b

[@joedee3291]

So many memories 1980's awesome time

[@fabiovillela4686]

Simply 80's. The best pop decade.

Oh boy what a performer

[@rfahy72]

She sounds and looks great in this! Such a great performer!

[@bobwilson360]

The true 80s superstar. She's a musician. Madonna was just a dancer.

[@kentlewis987]

Before her solo career, Madonna was the drummer for the Breakfast Club.

[@olarrist4273]

Her 83 New Years mtv show is her best.

[@TheReubenKincaid]

That looked like it was a blast to be there

No dancers, no sex appeal, no religion just a voice and fun…

[@ginaross5060]

good to see this again C.L. has a sound all her own she will never be forgotten

[@jessicafischerqueen]

Best live performer of the 80s and more- she was a true band leader. her bands were so well rehearsed they were able to follow Cyndi's lead during the live sets- not one of which was identical to any other. Her emotion and mood of the moment drove her and the band together.

[@lucat5479]

The only woman in a band of men. In the '80 it was something not usual. She made for women much more then certain histerical feminists of nowdays...Clever, independent, funny, able to laugh of herself, very talented, full of energy and passion and very sweety....an amazing human being...

[@clausanchez2243]

Que razón que tiene amigo, una gran mujer tan natural y tan mujer a la vez, hizo mucho por las mujeres. Como ella no hay igual.😊

[@Pepe-cn9if]

1983-1984 fueron los años de Cindy Lauper musicalmente hablando, pero ni se imaginaba que una joven cantante de su generación, tan solo un año más tarde, la destronaría y la arrinconó musicalmente, ella era MADONNA , que 40 años después aún sigue siendo la REINA

[@廣瀬勉]

シー・バップは、物凄い名曲ですよね。全米を沸かしたことでしょう。レジェンド！最高！❤❤❤❤❤

[@genesebelius4466]

Your amazing Cyndi 🌹

don't see that kinda passion in singers today. today seems to be about getting clicks, likes and tweets.

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Pure bs 🙄🙄🙄

[@robrose4694]

It’s called authenticity my friend and your right it’s sadly missing from today’s music scene.

[@jubachert]

yes, it's because Cyndi really wanted to be an artist, and not just famous

[@cr0426]

Agreed!! I love singers I actually believe.

[@sharonjarvis-young710]

Her energy is so infectious... you can't help but be happy and smile when you listen to her sing and watch her perform... I was a teen in the 80's and have always loved her music... She still reaches out and touches people's hands while she's singing on stage... I saw a much more recent video where she actually started crying and holding hands with people in the audience when she was singing 'Time After Time'... I cried too... she so authentic and true to who she is within the moment... You gotta love Cyndi!

[@tommilaaksonen3632]

We will...Allways!😍❤☮

[@tommilaaksonen3632]

Is that another video on youtube? I would like to see it...And cry....😊

[@marka.5135]

OMFG! I've been looking for this clip--her entire set even--for years! Reason being? I was there in the front row, and I just saw myself. This show included Madness and Specimen.

[@wailer27]

well this was uploaded 3 years ago and you only noticed it a few months ago, so i would suggest you haven't been looking that hard to be honest. Now suddenly you're claiming to be the biggest ever fan but it doesn't ring true does it

[@modularmuse]

0:30 She breaks away from an over-zealous hand-holder while singing in key, remembering the lyrics, not getting fazed and giving them a finger wave no-no. What a professional and a lot of fun.

[@wiesiowyniesio4552]

it happened when she started singing Time after Time as well. the fans back then were savage :)

[@evanwolf6618]

A very brave lady !!

[@MrMr-ru3bw]

Stunning Live Performance! Such power and precision vocally. She knows exactly what she wants to do and the band does great as she changes things as needed for her movements, she's a phenomenal talent. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needs to see this and explain WHY SHES NOT IN THERE YET!?!? True Colors, Time After Time, All Through The Night and Girls are legendary songs played heavily still on stations.

[@PabloDeModeOfficial]

A real masterpiece. One of a kind.

[@ryanspringer2579]

Thank you Cindy for the lesson of being your unique self. Thank you for having no shame of your style and of course your passion for being shameless. Passion is only expressed by those who don't care what others think. You helped unlock many peoples lives through your music.

One of my favorite all time performers and the soundtrack of my youth all the way from her music during the Goonies which was the most memorable movie of my childhood.. I seen her with my wife perform in a small club in Boston in 2015 and she was absolutely stunning and played both old and new stuff for 2+ hours… It was perfect!

[@crazyotto1338]

Ok, this is one of the craziest things I've seen out of a performance like this. Not only is she amazing and jamming with her band and sounding fucking fantastic, she's also literally fighting off a crowd that keeps grabbing her, literally ripping parts of her clothes off. She just tells them to be cool, a couple times, and keeps going out there. Nuts.

[@Dan-bm6mb]

later in the show she punched the one that wouldn't let go of her hand.
