Melissa Etheridge and Sophie B Hawkins | VH1 Duets | Part 3 | 1995

[@millennialfalcon8958]

The divine sapphic energy this radiates is sublime.

[@evafemme8674]

Yesssss... Home

[@DoctorJoanieTool]

Love & Affection is simply the best

[@garlowe8565]

This was such a great performance. Twenty years later I still get chills. This song especially had to be a delight for Melissa to sing - she herself is such a clever lyricist, and this song is right in her wheelhouse. The two together are fantastic!! Love Sophie and Melissa!!! ❤️

[@ellenmiller8612]

100% Agreed ! Can still watch it over & over. All of the VH1 DUETS SERIES (3) are AWSOME! Joan Osborne, Paula Cole, Sophie B Hawkins, & Jewel. When they all do Joan Armatradings "Love & affection " WOW AWSOME PERFORMANCE!❤

[@teaberrywmn]

I think Melissa did what Brandi is doing. She has always collaborated with wonderful women. Great stuff!

[@richardhal]

Oh. My. God. So much talent in one space, how could everyone cope. Love all these artists so much, and the songs, so good, no autotune, just raw talent

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Damn, the amount of artistry combined with pure feminine rawness is just so beautiful to see

[@epistte]

The sexual tension between these two is thick. Sophie was one of the few people who I ever saw make Melissa blush. They ere just about ready to move in together.

[@JC-yy8iv]

“Sophie B. Trouble Hawkins” omg the chemistry here

[@elaine8013]

these two women opened doors nobody thought could ever be opened.

[@chrissystepford2263]

Damn this is breathtaking.

[@z9elka]

"damn I wish I was your lover"- thank you !

[@GaryRManganiello]

The sexual tension is riveting in this performance!

[@elaine8013]

Oh the rumors that flew after this!

[@HipJipC]

What I would have given to be THERE THEN with two of my favorite women in music history to see, hear and FEEL this performance! It's TOP OF THE LINE! I saw Melissa, now I'm finally getting to see Sophie May 17, 2024 at the Bull Run in Shirley, MA, Yee-f***ing HAW!!!!! Front row, I'm going to burn holes in the floor when she does this song! YEAH! And the Rolling Stones have always been my favorite band so the mention of them in this song was awesome, Sophie's got great taste obviously!

These two were the coolest rocker chicks then and now.

[@Kathy-vt6xk]

My favorite love song with my husband and I danced for him , amazing times for us at the beach

[@Kathy-vt6xk]

That’s funny my husband and I danced so many times at the beach to this great sexy song ❤

[@tommypsue]

Ultimate hair tossing...can't get enough of this.

[@themaggattack]

"Ultimate Hair Tossing" sounds like an X-Games event! 😆

[@tanyataylor7593]

Such a great song!!. The energy they have gives off, that- they had. " been there done that."..😊

[@touchstoneaf]

Thank you so much for rescuing these, I haven't seen them since they first aired, so many powerhouses from '90s woman power Rock going on here, thank you thank you thank you

[@wakedawncat9290]

Thanx for posting this classic!💗. Luv it when Sophie holds that note & does a full back bend & drops to floor.😻

[@kategeraghty2591]

The final song is so great with all of them together! Best collaboration of more than 2 singers I have ever heard. No one trying to out sing the other. Fantastic!

[@roseyoung7075]

too funny, never saw Melissa so shy before!! LMAO

[@epistte]

I doubt that she thought that Sophia would say it. Sophie was very open about her sexuality.

[@traekas7228]

epistte, I didn’t realize that Sophie B had anything different about her sexuality, before now. Trippy.

[@epistte]

@@traekas7228 Sophie was very open about being bisexual. This was radical in the early 1990s.

[@zombiiesque]

​@@epistteabsolutely!

[@andrea439]

Boy is this a treasure!

[@sandrahudson9679]

I think they both wanted a little of each others jungle book loll

[@deinaunderhill7132]

I do, too! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Briguy75]

Yep, Melissa would walk across the fire 🔥

[@katecoffee4744]

Ooooo, spicy!

[@jmo5186]

Goosebumps! Damn, wish I had been there!! Thank you for posting.

[@Jen848]

I remember watching this live on VH1 back in the day. Good times.

[@OhSusannah63]

Damn I bet Melissa Etheridge wishes she had written this huge classic song. They sound wonderful together and the best is excellent.

[@tinacampbell1302]

Melissa said at the beginning “I shoulda done this!” Sophies original was much more wistful, yet still powerful. Hearing the two of them collaborating..... sophie with her “evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” And Melissa with her “hey, heyHey HEY.... Just perfect.🥰

[@yolandadejesus7183]

Shucks for me there is no other 💚

[@LisaMorgan-vu6lj]

Actually watched this live for the first time in 1995 ... I was in awe of these incredible voices. Jewel blew me away and I loved her ever since

[@1200daytona]

I bought in the late 90’s a cd of this show and played it day in day out until it was grey. What a rock chicks. Perfect

[@chrisv.h.2307]

In "Love and Affection," I love how each of the artists sings it like it's her own song, but they sound so good working together. It's clear they have such respect for each other. And "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover"... well... this performance was the reason I chose that song for my college a cappella group Senior Solo 🤣

[@elissa3188]

Loved all these women! And Jewel is still #1 for me- I have every album but Melissa gets regular play in too.

[@UpsNdownZZZ]

Sophie had so much energy! No wonder could be an old mom and still keep up with her kids!

[@ceceliagrill4774]

OMG! Singing these tunes all day long😂

[@maryfaure6682]

What I love about this video. SBH wrote it..and she just let's Melissa go with it.....alot of trust there..

[@karenstevenson4876]

THEY BOTH ROCKED OUT AWESOME TOGETHER. DAMN!

[@christimcmillan1923]

What amazing talent! Love them both!

[@tammief3515]

two great singers

[@N199UA]

Damn, I wish I was their lover. ;-)

[@robertyoung1777]

Great band Great performance Nice to see and hear this in high resolution

[@jdale9539]

I still have the VHS I recorded off of tv when this originally aired. Love it!

[@amandabeegle5632]

sophie definitely my major girl crush

[@epistte]

They were both very conservatively dressed but there was serious sexual tension and a lot of estrogen on that stage. This was fun to watch.

[@danjoda755]

That finale, Love and Affection, one of the incredible collaborations in the history of contemporary music! Everyone's individuality contributing to an incredible sum. Grateful for this upload ☺

[@PersephoneRising333]

All Hail the Divine Feminine 🙌 this was an absolutely amazing collaboration of talent 💕

[@ryderkick3899]

They totally nailed it!

[@Y2Jin99]

This Love and Affection performance was fire. One of my all time favorite live performances. Joan Osborne should have been a bigger star. Absolutely love Jewel. This was before Paula Cole blew up with I Don't want to wait. Sophie B. 25 years? Insane

[@gingerlady11]

love and affection my God what a fab version

[@ElectroAnnie]

This version is what got me into Joan Armatrading in my teens. Also Melissa's version of The Weakness In Me.

[@wholeyanasesame2067]

wow..this was effin lit.

[@markusolk4311]

I Love both of them and wish I d be theire lover

[@CaptainLeftHook]

Yeah sure, absolutely, no problem. After that performance you can be my lover anytime.

[@galenandronis5513]

Just had a love horescope.. it said I got a new love interest. Enjoying tge song, Wish you was my Lover! Feels fine you were greatThank you Melissa a

[@roseimmad3079]

Sophie wanted some of Miss Etheridge .............

[@katlady5000]

Maybe but I think she just gets off sexual energy when she performs.

[@traekas7228]

Roseim Mad, Hell, I do, too!
