Cyndi Lauper - When You Were Mine (live performance)

[@elektrckevin]

This certainly is a hard song to sing. It’s all over the map. The fact that Cyndi still has the courage to decide to choose to select to perform this difficult song amongst some of the other easier songs in her repertoire shows that she’s still not afraid of a challenge but also that of the skill, versatility of her voice, the stamina she has as a vocalist, but also how well she has kept her voice in excellent health after all these years singing for a living for all of us. She chooses this hard song not only to please us, but I like to this to impress us that she’s still got these amazing chops and this song certainly proves it by showing off her vocal skills. The obligato in the middle sounds just like on the record. Perfect. Great job, Cyndi, keep singing, your concert was the first one I ever went to in 1987 and I have loved you live ever since!

Have you heard Rett Madison's stripped back version? And Harma Superstar's version too? I'd be interested to hear your take on both of them.

Exacto tremenda voz e interpretación la adoro

[@knighthaunter]

Saw her just a couple weeks ago (late 2024) and she absolutly belted this song out still.

[@cherrybomb1386]

How is this woman not topping all the lists of great Vocalists?? Loved Cyndi forever

[@jaymiller6009]

I could not agree more. Her name is rarely mentioned when it comes to listing the great vocalists of all time and that is a massive injustice to her. When she pours her heart out near the end of: “When You Were Mine” it almost brings me to tears; still after decades of listing to it. As for her song: “Time After Time” there will never be a time where it comes on and I would ever skip over it. It is one of those songs that will mean a lot to the people who listen to it decades from now. Great lyrics on their own cannot do that. Though it has been covered countless times, no one has come close to bettering the original; not in my opinion anyways. Unfortunately, I believe a lot of people from this time judged her for her odd appearance, quirky personality, and thick New York accent. With 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, it is great to see that the newer generations clearly remembered hearing their parents music and are now choosing to listen to it themselves because it is so great.

Cyndi definitely did Prince proud with this amazing version of Prince’s song! Love you Cyndi. Missing sweet n badass Prince so much!! 💔❤️💜💜

[@MusicWizard85]

What blows me away is she was in her early 60s here and sounds phenomenal. This is the BEST live version I can find on KZbin of her doing this song. The 80s AMAwards performance comes close though. The emotion and vocal delivery was completely on point in this video. Outstanding! 👏🙌

[@oneeyeman6258]

And she looks damn good!

[@Thaisc67]

How can she still look this young ? Same Voice and everything. She’s a gem, must be protected at all times!!!!!! Love her

[@anitakos1375]

Love Cyndi and looove Prince!! Missing him!! 💔💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@harrassee]

The soul shines through.

[@misplacedspirit6162]

Crazy isn't it, I was looking at a video clip of Doc Neeson and considering everything I was quite surprised how good he's still looking.. 🤦‍♂🙄😉

[@neo_sonic_boom]

プリンスが居なくなった今、この曲が唄えるのは彼女しか居ない。cyndi i love u !

[@MarinaB63]

Cindy is a wonderfully talented person! This cover of the Prince song was included in her 80's album 'She's So Unusual' and Ive always loved the fact that she chose not to change the original words, keeping them as "I know that you're going with another guy". When sung by a woman decrying the loss of her lover, these words introduce a subtle gender/sexual ambiguity that make the song ever better. Back in the 1980's, this creative choice on Cyndy's part was indeed brilliantly courageous.

[@FernandoFlores-go7gc]

Happy Birthday Cyndi lauper ♥️ I love yo 🔥

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

WOW! She still has a set of pipes! Fantastic vocals. I've been a HUGE fan from day one. Cyndi Lauper greatly improves the quality of my life every time I hear her spectacular voice :)

[@Sindelicious]

Me too... she bop

[@garyginther6742]

Agree.

[@anitakos1375]

I love this version! Prince wrote this amazing song and he paid to watch Cyndi perform live. He was a fan! I love and miss Prince so much!! 💜💜💖💖

[@springdalton7417]

Be sure and look up her performance on Austin City Limits. She still rocks!

[@kennethwatt3491]

61 Yo. when this was Filmed and still Rockin'.........;)...........

[@whoknowsyimme]

It's pretty clear she takes care of herself and her voice! 😍 She sounds incredible and still puts so much heart into her performances. I realize this video is from 6 or 7 years ago, but I've seen her recent performances, too, and she's still kickin' it in the ass! ❤👑 What a class act!

[@mojavemagnolia7009]

Jesus Christ!!! She is AMAZING!!!!!!!! That voice!!!♥️❤️♥️♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️❤️

[@yamilramos4209]

Te amo Lauper..

[@RunningFreeForeverFree]

Was lucky enough to see Cyndi Lauper Live.

[@philliplandry4139]

After all those years, she still performed that song exactly like she did in 1983 and that's rare. Many other artists whom had hit songs back in the days especially from the 80's would dubbed it down or played an acoustic version to make more a hipster sound for the 2000's and so on. But Cyndi kept it exactly the way it is when she first played it forty years ago.

[@suzidunn7743]

I saw that tour in Virginia. So awesome. Luv u Cyndi

[@taramoonshadow363]

She is such a BEAUTIFUL SOUL!

[@jeronimofranciz6733]

Que voz! Continua a mesma dos anos 80, vida longa pra essa lenda ❤️🇧🇷

Forever 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@coldwindblowing]

Amor eterno 🇧🇷🖤🇧🇷🇧🇷🖤🇧🇷

[@espressogirl68able]

She's So Unusual is my choice for greatest album of all time. Not most people's choice, but I don't think true music-philes would argue too much. The more i hear her various performances, the more I am convinced that she is also one of the most under-rated of all time.

[@hobocat33]

Waaaaaaaaaay underrated, way✌️

[@Laura-rp2ki]

I am there w you. I’m seeing her at Madison Square Garden for her farewell tour so I’m listening to absolutely everything I can from her. She can sing any genre impeccably. I’m gutted she hasn’t been given the respect she deserves.

[@nickh9140]

Agreed

[@appletree6898]

Still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame😢

[@adamschweninger5494]

Cyndi always makes me smile because of her talent and beauty

[@Iceman-ty2mf]

That's the absolute best version of her song. She is a class act.

[@rebeccacrawford1111]

Its a great cover of His song. But Prince is tough to beat!

[@anitakos1375]

💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥💜💜

[@karalynne7616]

Red hot Cyndi!! 💥🔥❤ Love this performance! Nothing compares to the hits of the 80s!

She sounds INCREDIBLE! IS THIS RECENT??

[@MoonDoggie999]

Such a beautiful job on this song Cyndi. Loved it. I get too sad thinking about Prince. Watching this performance nearly brought me to tears. 💜

[@davida1606]

I recently had a dream where I was at a Cafe on a sunny day somewhere, looking out into the street, and standing to my left side in the cafe was a beautiful brown haired girl smiling at me, and she began to sing this song to me. I felt that we already had something special. Where are you cafe dream girl! I had forgotten this song a long time ago back in my teens, and it came back to me in a dream. I really enjoyed it when she was singing it to me, I hope to see her again someday.

I love how she is singing real far back behind the beat. Coupled with her emoting it really brings a distressed element to the song. Wonderful.

Saw her when she toured with Cher in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the early '00s. Then again in Berkeley with the B-52s a few years later. Her heartfelt live versions of "True Colors" always brings tears to my eyes.
