Akasha Starr has nailed the classic 80s look.

[@ravenjento]

I love the hair of the background singer. She is so beautiful and cute.

[@thezagquery]

Cannot release my eyes from her. ❤

[@singitliveworld]

You're very kind thank you 🙏🏼

[@jetnavigator]

Akasha really has great stage presence and an aura of an 80s girl teleported to the future!

[@akashastarr]

why thank you very much 🤟🏽

[@carlosruiz6935]

She really looks like a 80's girl and besides she is stunning

[@carbonking53]

She definitely has the look. The first time I saw I had a Miami Vice flashback. One of, if not the best TV shows of the 80s.

I was wondering, when did Erika Eleniak get a singing career? She is so good!

I don’t need to say how good this was….I love how “little Nikki” looks at “mom Nikki”…..it’s really kewl to see.

I would love to see Little Nikki do a solo with the band. Another fine cover by Slingit Live!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

@@MSDOGS1976 I agree….Little Nikki has earned her opportunity to spread her wings. I would love to see her do Lita Ford “kiss me deadly”….NOT Pat Benatar ( That’s to easy)…..And NOT Celine Dion (joke)

[@MrThuggery]

Looks like a young Kim Wild!

[@AaRr-bn3xx]

I think we all want more of the gorgeous girl with the Kim Wilde look !!

[@kevinnelson66]

Nikki and Akasha, like mother like daughter. Sounding great, ladies.

[@gatorshd]

Wait. What!

[@tomtube1012]

Didn't know they were mother and daughter till I read this comment and looked it up on the internet. Looks like music talent is in their genes.

[@robcarter9330]

Ah man, amazing 80's synth colorization, custom arps and a phat retro fuzz guitar, just like the original. There ain't nothing I can do about it, gotta watch it again!

[@jellybean8167]

Yeah, except the ORIGINAL had none of those things you just mentioned Rob!

Somehow this video got bumped and was playing on its own when my phone was sitting on counter i honestly thought it was the oldies station on the radio ! So when I realized you weren't the original artists I was floored on how amazing your cpver is!!!

[@devilmahon666]

Stanningley beautiful Mother and Daughter with Amazing Voices. I love listening to you two. The way Akasha looks at Nikki at the end you can tell she idolises her Mother.

[@rikrushton6826]

So Im not too sure how many "new favourites" I'm allowed to have - but anything with the "Beautiful Heuskes Ladies" goes straight to the podium - The Supremes meets Kim Wilde meets the "Twin Heuskes Hearts".... All with the @producernerd mix - That will be on high rotation - thanks again everyone for bringing your talents to our devices each week ❤🙏👌🎤🎶🖤

[@JamesJohnson-xw9jn]

Been listening to this cover A LOT since it was uploaded and felt a 2nd comment was needed regarding the work done by Damien Steele Scott. You don't realise how much of the song relies on the bass as the foundation but he absolutely nails it, not a shock if you listen to his other works but a special mention should be made when warranted. Keep up the good work @bassgoose!
