To what computerized voices are you referring? Because from what I've heard thus far, Chloe & Hallie, H.E.R., Esperanza Spaulding, Arianna Grande (of whom am I not a fan), Beyoncé, Tannerélle, Janelle Monae, Miley Cyrus, Lauryn Hill, T Pain, D'Angelo, Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak are all really great singers, whethere you like their music or not. What the h@ll are you taking about?

[@tonymontana897]

Yes indeed. She has a special voice, a talent not seen much these days. Someone who sounds that amazing live does have proper talent. I was there back in the early 80's when Fame and Flashdance came out and yes, I miss those days too. The 80's were the best !

[@brucew3641]

@@skineyemin4276 It's called auto tune and corrects the pitch of singers. Every artist you mentioned uses it, so it's helpful to do something called research before you publicly make yourself look foolish in the future. Stupid is a terrible look for anyone...

This is why KZbin is so valuable. We NEVER get to see concerts like these!! EVER!!! Think of how many concerts you have taken for granted on KZbin. It's really mindboggling. I only got to see Irene Cara at halftime shows for some sports show or some telethon. I never got to see her show live. Hell, as a kid, I didn't even know she did shows like these. ❤‍🔥

And so many rare live concerts gets deleted every day for copyright reasons. For example hundreds of Prince live videos shortly after his estate started to enforce the "no media appearances" rule again.

Thank you for uploading this piece of gem. Irene passed away a few days ago. I am so sad. Most of us only knew Flashdance What A Feeling and Fame. She had so much more to offer. She showed her qualities in the Marvin Gaye medley alone. It's such a shame that somehow she never found more good songwriters and producers to write more songs for her. She truly deserved it. She lives on in her music. She is unforgettable. Thank you, Irene, for the music and all the joy you brought. R.I.P. Irene Cara Escalera

[@evnstvn58]

The industry had warned of lawsuits if they did anything for her...in other words, she had been canceled for some reason, that's why we hadn't heard from her but, before her career was railroaded, she was a superstar at the top of her game!

[@buchananjeneen3739]

I agree... I remember her in Electric Company children series years ago (in the 70s on PBS) far from before Fame, Flashdance, D.C. Cab, Certain Fury, Roots: The Next Generation, & etc. You see, she was already famous before Hollywood really noticed her for real. But, she will always be part of my/our generation because we will forever remember her name. 😥🙏🏾🎤✌🏾

Irene Cara always had a special pure quality which is far removed from the music industry today. She was a talented songwriter in her own right & it’s tragic she was I guess blackballed from the industry. I remember her from her Electric Company days & really fell in love with her voice in the “original” movie Sparkle! Not only a talented singer but just as talented of an actress…It’s so sad to hear she lived the last years a recluse. Rest in heaven Irene Cara you spirit will Sparkle ✨ always ❤

As a longtime fan of the late, great Irene Cara's artistry, I'm enjoying this vintage concert coverage very much and am appreciative of you sharing this beautiful piece of her legacy. Watching the juxtaposition of the beauty and majesty of Tokyo's urban infrastructure/natural landmarks with Ms. Cara's energetic and feel-good performances, I feel that it takes away some of the sting of the sad news of her passing. Coincidentally, it makes me feel, too, that she really hasn't left this physical realm, knowing that she will live on in her massive body of musical magic.

It's definitely bittersweet though, knowing that while American artists tour overseas all of the time to give those fans an opportunity to see and hear them live Irene was in a situation at that time where she literally had no choice in the matter. And she poured all of herself into that show because they deserved no less than her best. Irene Cara is in my mind the definition and the epitome of unsung, it makes me smile seeing the outpouring of love, appreciation and respect that she is receiving and I pray that Irene's family and loved ones are uplifted by these words. Irene, you truly will live forever because we will always remember your name!!! Rest in Heavenly Peace Songbird ❤️❤️❤️

Many many years ago, while taking acting classes in NYC, I used to run into Irene in the lobby. This was right before she did Fame and hit it big. She used to encourage me to move to NYC and do the acting thing full time, but it wasn't possible, and I really preferred Los Angeles over NYC. The first time I remember seeing her was on the children’s TV show The Electric Company, and we had some laughs about that. She was wonderful and even though I never saw her again in person, she always remained in my heart. I remember sitting at Carney's in Los Angeles on Sunset Blvd and seeing the big billboard promoting Fame and was SO happy that this talented lady had made her mark in Hollywood. Also, when she opened the Academy Awards, I was blown away and SO proud of her.

In 1985, I spotted her in the Japanese bullet train. Then, her manager (?) signalled me, putting her index finger on the lips. Left the place, nodding. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only one. Later found her surrounded by some my colleagues. Fair enough. She was already a star. We were moving somewhere for training as freshmen in the company.
