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

Damn! I wish I was your lover! Sophie B (Trouble) Hawkins and Melissa Etheridge. Next song is Love and Affection, the Joan Armatrading song, sung by all: Paula Cole, Sophie B Hawkins, Jewel and Melissa Etheridge.

[@millennialfalcon8958]

The divine sapphic energy this radiates is sublime.

[@evafemme8674]

Yesssss... Home

[@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

[@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!

✨✨❤❤

[@teaberrywmn]

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

[@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!❤

[@z9elka]

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

[@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

[@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 🔥

[@elaine8013]

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

[@ServandoIV]

how they harmonize each other’s voice is amazing…professionals

[@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

[@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!

[@tommypsue]

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

[@themaggattack]

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

[@GaryRManganiello]

The sexual tension is riveting in this performance!

[@tanyataylor7593]

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

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

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

[@chrissystepford2263]

Damn this is breathtaking.

[@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

[@ceceliagrill4774]

OMG! Singing these tunes all day long😂

[@yolandadejesus7183]

Shucks for me there is no other 💚

[@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!

[@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.🥰

[@UpsNdownZZZ]

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

[@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 💕

[@mjd111]

I'm 💯 with you!! 🤙💫🔥☮️🎸🎤

[@zombiiesque]

Indeed! ✨🙌🏼🌙👑♀️

[@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 🤣

[@andrea439]

Boy is this a treasure!

[@elissa3188]

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

[@karenstevenson4876]

THEY BOTH ROCKED OUT AWESOME TOGETHER. DAMN!

[@dabzprincess92]

This had to be one hell of a show

[@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

[@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.

[@CaptainLeftHook]

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

[@ryderkick3899]

They totally nailed it!
