Indeed. Ms. Irene Cara. An angelic gift from GOD ❤

[@toni4916]

She didn't have many songs to truly display her vocal ability. This song completely proves that she was born to sing. If those vocals are still in this shape in 2006, she is truly gifted and sounds EXACTLY the same.

[@nastypiglosi1788]

The big record labels tried to cheat her then she got blackballed because she fought back

[@danlivni2097]

@@nastypiglosi1788 Irene Cara was blackballed in the Music industry by David Geffen. Irene sued him for $10 million in unpaid royalties on her hit songs. It took years to reach a settlement, and during that time she spent all of the little money she had on lawyer fees, leaving her broke. The suit slowed her music career to a halt since she wasn’t recording any new material. Over the years Irene Cara has claimed in interviews that she was blacklisted in the music industry. The word around town was that she was difficult to work with, so nobody wanted to hire or collaborate with her. She claims this was related to the lawsuit. It was David Geffen behind these lies about Irene, cause she sued him. If you get a chance, read "HIT MEN," by Fredric Dannen. He talks all about David Geffen. Irene wasn't the only one he screwed over. There were a number of recording artists (David Crosby, Neil Young, Elton John, Sammy Hagar, just to name a few) who wanted to personally strangle that POS

[@catherinegore1032]

Yes...EXACTLY the same!!!

[@Meatball2022]

She sounds exactly the same because she’s singing to a track…. This is NOT live singing Edit. To be fair, she’s singing outside. She absolutely SHOULD be singing to a track. Stadiums are notoriously difficult. Especially in this where it’s really not set up for a concert right now. But - fact is, she’s singing to a track. And that’s ok.

[@Mick1Hasham]

Definitely, my all time, best song and singer of the 80's. Irene Cara's voice is breathtaking and I just love how she increases/decreases the tone of her voice according to the notes vocally. This song and her voice are a perfect match. No one could have possibly sung it better then what she did and has been doing. She also exhibits amazing raw talent! If this song doesn't inspire or motivate you to shoot for your hopes and dreams with passion and emotion, then I don't know what will. On a different note: It's heartbreaking and ironic that some of the lyrics used in the song mirrored Ms Cara's real life. Yet, the song was written before those events transpired. For instance, the line "All alone I have cried, silent tears full of pride" can be referred to the treatment the record companies handled her professional career, early on. They wouldn't pay royalties to this exceptional, outstanding women. I wouldn't want to describe what she must have gone through.

This is such a great performance by Irene Cara. Anyone who insists that she is Lip-Syncing is wrong. At time point 3:15 when she sings the line "Pictures come alive you can dance right through your life" she clearly holds the same note on the three words "you can dance" which in the original single version she does not, dropping a tone on the word "you". This is a live vocal performance people. It may well be the case that the background track is pre-recorded to add depth to the live orchestra, But Irene is definitely singing live!

[@CFWhitman]

Well, this certainly isn't the original single version of the song. There are several differences. One easy difference to spot is that there is no fade out on this recording. However, there are places where she seems to be lip syncing if you watch closely. I'm not sure exactly what's going on here. Is she lip syncing to an alternate recording from way back when? Did she record this live not long before the performance and then lip sync to her live performance? I'm not sure.
