FIRST TIME HEARING Laura Branigan - The Power of Love | REACTION

[@Zero8880]

Laura's version is so raw and powerful. My favorite version of this song by far.

[@Nugtroen]

Same here, man. I've listened to the CD and JR versions countless times, but nothing can beat the raw and saddest emotion of Laura's version.

[@Georgejmh]

Ditto!

[@rx7dude2006]

Better than Celines version 100 percent.

[@jodyjackson5475]

One million percent 😊

[@grahamgreenlee9874]

If you dug Laura, check out "Gloria," then "Self Control." She was a big 80s artist who rarely gets talked about anymore. But her voice was one of a kind.

[@davidw7]

Yes Yes... my 2 favorites also. "Self Control" by Laura - was something else... from the movie - Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Gloria and this song are great to react to. MTV found the video too risque' to play but Europe and the world did play it. "The song was about losing your self-control to the night or to someone," Laura said in a interview. "We had a man representing the night, wearing a mask. There were all these great dancers wearing masks by Willa Shalit. There's a shot where the man comes into my bedroom, taking me into the night. He appears and disappears. The video was also directed by William Friedkin who did (The French Connection, The Exorcist).

By far the best versiun,the most powerfull voice

[@itsisk2043]

Imho , Jennifer's is the best one.

[@JamesMorgan_LifeandText]

I don’t think anyone will beat Laura’s rendition😮❤

[@Cupra317hp]

Nope

[@jodij6280]

She had a great voice. Sadly, she died at the age of 52 from a brain aneurysm.

[@inukshuksixtyfour1164]

RIP Laura...She was a force. ❣️🌹✨️

[@butterflymama0838]

I was going to comment the same thing. She passed in 2004. She was so amazing! I was a teen back then. She was definitely one of my favorite 80's female artists from those days. R. I. P Laura 😢

[@SuperElizabeth54]

I think she was 46 when she died,

[@luckygenepi8476]

She left too soon and was so unique and really fantastic. R.I.P. Laura

[@scottfarley3644]

The best version of this song, PERIOD! Laura grabs you and hold on until She is damn good and ready to let go. All other versions are a performance. Laura's is raw emotion and believable.

[@gdouglas999]

This has always been my favorite version---by far.

[@terrylewis_]

Laura Branigan had an amazing voice, such a sad loss... my favorite song is Self Control, but that is mostly because it's 80's-tastic. :)

[@EchoesDaBear]

My sister had her cassette for Self Control, and I listened to it constantly (I was 5). Absolutely fell in love with her voice and that song! #1 track for sure!

[@Jamie-tl4or]

Astounding!! Without a doubt the dominant version!! Gives me shivers!! Passion to the max!!! Whoever thinks Jennifer or Celines version is better needs their soul checked over!!

[@bobaquatics6776]

I like the original by Jennifer the most. I think she has a way prettier voice overall. But thats just my preference, she was big in europe in the 80s so her voice is well known to me.

[@gregkluge]

Thank You, Laura's Version is the ONLY VERSION

[@SLEEPTHIEFofficial]

@@bobaquatics6776 Jennifer's is beautiful. But I still prefer this version and Laura's voice better.

[@sasapejcin3568]

One of the best american singers of all time!

[@mftoms59]

Laura does an excellent job here, Jennifer Rush would approve, RIP Laura. Fantastic voice, nice reaction.

[@justme-ll1qz]

People can talk about Jennifer Rush, Celine Dion doing this song. But Laura Branigan OWNS this song

[@ABBALAURAFAN]

She really does!

[@raymondweyiouanna2808]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

[@malcongrued]

the best performance ever

[@viviennepastor3188]

Incredible isn’t she. Just can’t believe anyone can have such a powerhouse voice with such control. She was gorgeous too.

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

Laura was a force. Gloria is the next one to check out. Great reaction!

[@Mntguy-nr9vl]

The climax to her song Solitaire,she holds that note till next week as loud as she can go.

[@venusmacawile924]

the best powerful voice one and only laura

[@garydunn9615]

Laura Branigan is still my favorite ❤.

[@filmsensei]

I am so glad you covered this version. Celine Dion has a nice cover and while technically very good as Celine always is, I highly favor Laura's version for being "edgier", the way she shreds her voice on this is amazing. I still miss hearing Laura's voice. She died of a brain hemorrhage/aneurysm several years ago. The man hosting is Alan Thicke of "Growing Pains" and father of singer Robin Thicke.

[@ronsmock1879]

Laura and Celine share another song called Unison. Laura again has the better version.

[@ronsmock1879]

If you want to hear a crazy good Celine rock/pop song check out I Feel Too Much.

[@scotties.3414]

I have all of Laura's CDs and was her biggest fan. If you want to hear her range then definitely check out Solitaire, Shattered Glass, How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, I Found Someone and Gloria. My favorite Laura song is not a famous top 10 hit but should have been nonetheless. It's called The Sweet Hello the Sad Goodbye, and it will haunt you.

[@gregkluge]

Don't Forget "OVER YOU" she blows it out of the water

[@pammcnary]

I love every single song on “Touch”!!

[@peterdennis4394]

For an impressive male cover of this song, check out Air Supply's version. But yeah, Laura had incredible range. RIP, she is missed.

[@nadinefrandsen6087]

Yes!! Agreed. Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply❤️

[@daz_n]

Would love to see you compare Jennifer Rush's original.

[@EmjayBaxton]

Self Control, Solitaire and The Lucky one are some of Laura's best songs. She was so talented.

[@karenladd1110]

That was my exact reaction after hearing Laura. Celine who??? She was AMAAAAZING.

[@RichardMctere]

The power of Laura's voice.

[@gary3341]

What a vibrato, fabulous, miss her badly

[@AM-jm5ux]

I met her once back stage at a club in Miami and she couldn’t have been sweeter and she even autographed a flyer I was holding in my hand and then a second one to take home to a friend who was ill. I’ll never forget her kindness and beautiful music. ❤

[@karehelene]

GLORIA. That's all any of need to say.

[@MRIB-pro]

Just heard this song on sound cloud in a ballard mix, I ran down to KZbin. The power of internet immortalizing history.

[@bartdrennon1764]

While the rock lovers were dissing disco, it was producing some of the best vocalists the world has seen. Especially females.

[@brianh9358]

Actually Celine Dion did do a cover version of this song - so maybe that is also why you had "Celine Dion" vibes. :)

[@eleanordockery5423]

Laura's Version So Beautiful &She Had So Much Raw Talent. ❤❤❤❤

She makes it seem effortless. She was one of a kind. Unique.

[@G02372]

Angel on Earth ❤

[@GaryDouglas-lj5bz]

In my opinion this is by far the best version of Jennifer Rush's original. Laura's voice is so much stronger and more emotional than Jennifer's or Celine's.

[@truckrboat]

Celine dion covered this song 6 years later. Laura B was a power pop queen of the mid to late 80’s. If you want to hear her power in An uptempo song check out Gloria. You can’t go wrong on any of her songs

[@hounddogtunes3203]

We had a lot of amazing performers in the 80s. So glad people are beginning to hear them again. We had such a variety then too. I wish it were more like that now instead of 10 songs by one performer on the Top 40. And we had way more songs about love rather than lust.

[@raymondreynolds5898]

That is one of the greatest performances ever. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@jas137]

I had such a huge crush on Laura when I was 11. I still have a visceral reaction to hearing her songs. Another band from that time frame that takes me right back to 1982 is The Motels- simply haunting.

[@monicataylor9977]

Motels yes! Only the Lonely

[@jas137]

Yes, Only the Lonely and Suddenly Last Summer could almost be a single video- same haunting vibe. They were a minimalist version of new wave coming out of LA in late 70s, but always had a haunting, yearning, quality that truly found full expression by 1982-83.

[@jodij6280]

Loved The Motels.

[@ed.z.]

🔥

[@ronsmock1879]

This isn't the whole version of the song. She has many songs with this emotion.

[@jaimecruz5199]

With this video I fell in love with Laura, with that passion any man would fall in love with her.

[@skipbohrer]

Got to see Laura in Las Vegas at the Hilton. She Melted the crowd with all of her songs and voice. I felt very fortunate to have a front row seat to really see how powerful her craft was.

[@erickoenig5994]

Alan Thicke is the host. He was the dad on Growing pains. Laura Branigan is such a power house! Love the channel

[@marke7441]

And also father of pop star Robin Thicke. Alan Thicke had a late night show (it bombed) so maybe this is from that.

[@mistab24]

Great reaction. She's got some more upbeat songs that she really belts in too. Solitaire, Shattered Glass, Hold Me and Spirit of Love. There's quite a few slow to mid-tempo gems on the "Touch" album though.

[@No1KCfan6]

They cut out the bridge.

[@trevorjames426]

She was utterly amazing, loved her so much. “The Lucky One” and “Self Control” are my favourites but soooo many great songs ❤

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Salvo! HIGHLY suggest checking Laura's Self Control, The Lucky One & Gloria! She had (RIP) amazing pipes! Personally, Jennifer Rush's version is the best & definitive, but Branigan did a marvelous job with this beautiful track! Cheers.

[@primemoverRR]

Laura Branigan was one of the biggest female stars of the 1980s. She had some monster hits with songs like Gloria (#2), Self Control (#4) and several more that broke into the top 40. One of my favorite albums of hers, simply called "Laura Branigan" from 1990, didn't get as much airplay, but has some really awesome hits with songs like Moonlight on Water, Let Me In and Bad Attitude.

[@richardmccarley281]

without a doubt the BEST cover version of this song!

[@ginalashley1265]

One of the most underrated singers in my opinion along with Irene Cara and Russell Hitchcock from Air Supply who also does an amazing cover of this song. I love her song Self Control and of course Gloria. She died way too young. RIP

She did a great job with this song, but Jennifer Rush's version is still my favorite.

La mejor calidad de interpretar esa canción

[@ZebraDazzle66]

Although I am a huge fan of Laura Branigan, when it comes to this song I still have to say Celine Dion’s version is impeccable. My favorite Laura Branigan song is How Am I Supposed To Live Without You. Sadly, like too many others she was taken from us way too soon. 😢

[@Mntguy-nr9vl]

When I was a kid I walked in and the song was playing in my mom was crying and I said what was wrong? She said she had never heard anything so beautiful. That's how I became aware of Laura branigan because I'm a little younger than when she was popular. She had resonance let me tell you something not a lot of range but her chest belts our next level beyond Whitney Celine and Mariah it can almost sound a little shrill like she could break glass. That's the best version of this song.

[@caseymacmacl7463]

Ti Amo is still one of my favs. I think she did a much better version of Power of Love than Whitney. Both amazing singers who where gone far too soon. Laura refused to take vocal lessons because she didn't want to lose the raw edge her voice has. Good call!!
