Even if she was butt ugly....with a voice like that, holy cow she can sing! But I'm glad she's pretty tho. She's just nailing her notes, her adlibs are sweet, a bit of a gruff female voice bordering on rocker. Kind of reminds me of a prime Ann Wilson of Heart. Laura is one of the G.O.A.T for sure.

It's timeless because she is so very good and so is the song itself. She claims it was about someone she knew....I think that someone stared back at her every time she looked in the mirror.

[@beckydoesit9331]

This song is a banger for sure, but what in the world is her fascination about this "Gloria". Maybe this song should be called "Laura" because it feels like projection. Or if it's not projection maybe "Gloria" should have put a song out called, "Mind your own business, Laura". Or maybe Laura is jealous because Van Morrison wrote a song about Gloria. Who knows but Laura really needs some self-control, am I right?

[@erepsekahs]

What a voice! Pitch perfect and ripping into it, this woman is magic and sends tingles down my spine.

[@NoTaboos]

If she needs fireworks and a huge light show, then her music is worthless. Imagine Bach using fireworks.

[@erepsekahs]

@@NoTaboos She is certainly superhuman.

[@KitTaylorOfficial]

She's lip syncing. Compare this with the music video or the track. Literally exactly the same. Also her face is barely moving when she's singing some of the most difficult sections. Even the most talented singers in the world can't replicate studio performances without any changes whatsoever. They might be worse or even better, but never exact.

[@KitTaylorOfficial]

LIsten to Michael Jackson singing Billie Jean live versus lip-syncing. Live is always slightly different, and you can hear breathing, and pitch is never spot-on perfect. It's near impossible even with in-ear monitors.

Me too, I danced to this song too. But as I grew up I noticed that there were toxic people in my life and just had to remove them. Then I reheard this song, and wow, I came to the realization that Laura Brandigan is one of he most toxic people in the world. Why in the world does she care so much about "Gloria". I've had people just like her in my life and I had to get hem out. Gloria should have a song telling Laura to mind her own business and let her run her own life. And the song is contradictory as well. In one line she says "no one seems to be calling you" and then the next line is "I guess you can keep them hanging on the line". What? Who is she going to keep hanging on the line if nobody is calling? I know people like this and they are toxic. Laura needs some self-control.

I ABSOLUTELY REMEMBER THIS GIRL, REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL

[@itzcosmic222]

Coming from a blues fan, after having the worst season start in 2019 and eventually switching things around and eventually winning our first Stanley Cup in an unforgivable season after switching our new theme song to Gloria, thank you Laura Branigan. Every time I hear this song, it just brings joy to us. Rock on.

Here the COMPOSER of this legendary song: the Italian singer/composer Umberto Tozzi, in 1979: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWKzaZ16iNisocU&ab_channel=MusicworldTV Later on Laura made the English version.

One of my favorite singers. What a shame she died so young. A wonderful entertainer and singer. She brought out some great songs. RIP Laura.

Sad she died so young, Gloria was a great song and I listen to it when I work out at the gym it pumps me up when I feel tired.

Хороший голос и красавица! Будет жить в наших сердцах! Мы тебя любим Лаура!!!

[@Last_Vestiges]

Even though this performance is lip synched, Branigan had such an impressive vocal range. To this day, I love her style; she was fabulous. One of my many ‘80s classic faves! Growing up, I loved watching Solid Gold as a little girl, and I remember hearing this song during the ice skating scene in Flashdance. Some things never leave you. The hanging disco balls and stage firework explosions were the best!!!!!!!!

[@jiehanimabbas408]

A big fan of her in the 80s..may her soul rest in peace...
