STEFAN.... even on bass nothing else needs to be said. More Stefan!!!

[@jgpere]

Stefan is the ultimate musician, big fan of him

[@stefan_hauk]

Haha thank you for your kind words everybody!!

[@davidgriswold2647]

Amen! I keep relistening to Everybody Wants to Rule the World just to hear the solo and outro!

[@angelathayne1508]

Sings good too

[@angelathayne1508]

Stefan

[@mickey34jb]

With Nikki on the mic__you know its going to be great. Great entrance to boot!! 😎

[@claudeleclair2483]

True,!

[@richardcoffin5008]

Nikki that was the Stellar performance I know Pat Benatar would be so proud of you

[@CrownTO]

Incredible performance! Pat Benatar will be Amazed by this performance. It is perfect!

[@joesol5194]

Need more Akasha and that wild 80s hair! Love the energy!

[@BlueJavaTN]

Thought you actually sampled Pat Benatar in the background, then Nikki came out - wow! Great job!

[@I_Am_TheUniverse]

Yeah...that is what I thought, and then BOOM! Excellent and Brilliant Performance!😍

[@jeremiahg2716]

Yeah I thought the same thing. Wonderful job !

[@paulajarman9314]

Me too.

[@marcgattuso6129]

I think we all thought the same. Nikki nailed it!

[@blancoj]

Yes, I got fooled, too. Such a great production!

[@ripellis6056]

There she is…Nikki!!!…Kudos to everyone!!!…No flaws but more important to me is that they are making it their song and not a cookie-cutter version…Nikki has so many layers!!!

[@jimmydriveway]

LOL!! Quite the opposite. That was probably the most accurate rendition of that song I’ve ever heard. They nailed every part that’s on the record. It was absolutely amazing but my goodness, it was note for note.

[@nickstorelli559]

That's fantastic. Nikki's daughter reminds me of Kim Wilde when she was young. Nikki's voice is unbelievable.

[@bullstag47]

One of the better covers of any song I’ve heard. Great job guys.

[@johnfreeman440]

Holy cow that girl can sing her ass off. Holy smokes! Confidence, power, beauty...a showstopper.

[@ronkeyes659]

Nikki Kosmider-Heuskes is without a doubt an extremely talented performer with a voice capable of making others take notice immediately.. This rendition is spot on from start to finish. Each member performing on this cut contributed to making Love Is A Battlefield my choice on all of KZbin for this week's "Pick Hit Of The Week". Let us all take note of the beautiful blend of levels and effects which make the final product glisten!! Kudos to Darren who undoubtedly each week makes it all come together! Bravo SingIt Live!!!

[@mustseethis3140]

Greetings from Finland. Big fan of this song since the 80s. One of the best songs ever made! Your version is really good!!!!!!

[@davidnowel5199]

I like Akashi moves and didn’t realize that she is Nikki’ s daughter. Always nice to see her mother’s help in showing off her daughters talent.

[@realityboost4405]

This one of the classic, compact, direct, female-led rock songs from the 80's…And that's a very beautiful thing…And doubly so that in 2022 musician enthusiasts are keeping this music alive! 🥰

[@Guinnessbot]

I always enjoy watching Tzan play. He'll be looking at the fretboard, then looks up with an expression as if "Are you seeing this S%@*?" Great to see Stefan too, I had no idea he plays bass (and killing it!)

[@chaschampion777]

Spot on about Tzan... he's like "what?, oh yeah, that's nothing, watch this one!"

[@rosumparat]

Holy molly for a second I thought Pat Benatar was at the mic. Mind blowing voice!!!!

[@paulsanderkay]

What a sensational performance! And, love the opening, with Nikki off camera, and sliding in. Youze guys rock.

[@emanuelmota7217]

Yes, nice stage direction \ reveal in the beginning.

[@tube396]

Vocals 10+ Musicianship 10+ Song selection 10+ Sound mixing 10+ - That entire performance was brilliant!!

[@kaffeice7]

[@LittleLulubee]

And stage presence 10+ ❤😍❤

[@erniemckracken1593]

10/10 🔥

[@ronhansen994]

Niko and Crafty, separated at birth. And the incredible Hauk keeps them both in line (an impossible task)! Well done all. Perhaps my favorite cover ever. 😀

[@josephgiardina8716]

Just started following Singit Live. Now I know where the overall production value from HSCC went. The sound production and camera work are great here

[@gerardmcnally]

Stefan Hauk, unreal musician !!!! The Ladies are absolutely ......

[@hughle2579]

My god !!! You beautiful people have just knocked it out of the park ! Lush n pristine production, great performance and Nikki’s whistling at the end is a bonus. The twin guitar ascending harmonically towards the end is clever. Yep, better than your previous project ! 👍❤️🙏🔥🏆👏🎉🎼👌

[@gerohermanns1128]

Darren!!!! What the hell....? Unbelievable!!! My honours for you and your Team. Chappeau from Germany

[@magnumopus9631]

[@essexfarmer9610]

And both very beautiful as well as talented!

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

Geeeez...Nikki is simply a treasure! And her camera play is unmatched...she was born for the lens😍

[@davidcunningham7330]

Three of the best, BEST guitarist in SA! What's next, Stefan on drums? Oh, yeah - he does play drums...well, so does Crafty. Probably EVERYONE there plays drums! But no one sings like, wait for it - Nikki!!!!

[@enjaymarine]

Are you guys aware that us poor listeners have to listen to tracks this good, at least Three times..? Once to appreciate the audio excellence, twice to write comments like this, then the third time to ensure we didn’t miss anything on the first two passes..! And Yes, this will be one for your stage set, when you get out on the road..!

[@singitliveworld]

There’s a lot of things to see. Fun moments between the performers

[@seabreeze3906]

Only three? Sooooo many things to catch.

[@JamesFolkers]

It takes me 5 or more…

[@fja9wuz3]

Nikki's the #1 Aussie bad girl vocalist & rock fans of this crew like it like that! As for the guitar dude on Nikki's right, Tz.-man, I've been a long-time fan...unquestionable rock guitar chops from you, dude. Altogether a smoking team on this one!

[@rocharneauspielbergwaters813]

One of my fave songs Pat Benatar playlist played & sang by SingitLive. You are the best. Congratulations for everyone !!

[@chaschampion777]

Oh Lord, Nikki, I had no idea you were feeling that way. Thanks for letting me know! Just joshing y'all. Absolutely killer harmonies, a perfect match. Every person in that room provided us a master class. Always appreciated. God bless from Puerto Rico.

[@janedonovancoaching]

Oh my, goosebumps and a great big smile! My beautiful star sister and star daughter showing what love is. I’m so proud 🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@akashastarr1723]

i love you starr mummy

[@janedonovancoaching]

@@akashastarr1723 I love you more ❤️❤️❤️

[@michelleper5065]

this girl on the backround voices, looks like she was pulled out of the 80s in a time machine, wow lol amazing!

[@archstanton9206]

I am old, therefor I remember when this was playing on FM radio. (remember that "format"?). Amazing work, gang. About halfway through the song it struck me how rare it is for a artist and a team, to be able to grab hold of a song made world famous by someone else, work on it, and then perform the song with as much confidence, skill, and professionalism as Nikki does every time I see her behind the mike, whether here or on HSCC. She is a powerful force of nature. When teamed up with a group of people who are astonishingly good in their own right...well..you have Sing It Live. I hope someday you guys can actually make a vinyl record, or at least CD. I know," get with the times old man." --Old guy here, waiting impatiently for the world to come knocking on your door., and for you to come to Lake Tahoe for a show...

[@davepeterson1370]

You all are SO impressive!! I can't believe how great you all are. Absolutely LOVE watching your performances.

[@davelillig3848]

Anything with Nikki starts at "10" what at voice and great stage presence. Love the song too. Saw Pat Benatar sing it in concert, this is just as good. Kudos to Darren for his arrangement. So Nikki has another daughter. Love the harmony of families.

[@carbonking53]

The 80's vibe was palpable! Just the way it should be for this song.

[@Lookinyouryoutubewindow]

Music is god’s gift to us all. The musicians and singers are our angels. Thank you

[@LIVE3DPrinting]

Another masterpiece Nikki! I see where your daughter gets her looks! Beautiful young lady with a bright future. Pat Benatar is not easy to faithfully copy, but Nikki? You nailed it!!

[@sasastojanovic84]

Amazing wave of energy from Darren's basement ! You have hit the target right in the middle. Sparks fly from the start of the video. Ladies and gentlemen, you are from another planet !!! Not to forget the good job done by the man behind the camera, my countryman Mr. Zoran Paovic.

[@irisheyes7175]

Killed it!!! The smiles on everyone’s faces says it all. Darren looks like the cat that ate the canary…because he knew it was golden. It’s about energy & chemistry…the vocals were incredible…the guitar work impeccable…the collective Music synergy remarkable …You killed it!!!

[@ROCKY44]

The opening of this video is pure class.

[@gromit576]

The daughter(Akasha) got it from her mother(Nikki). Best mom-daughter combo.

[@emailrobertbm]

Wow just wow.... When that camera panned to Niki, I got compete chills. Had no idea she was doing the echos at the beginning and Darin.... Oh Darin... THAT MIXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! OMG. Every track of this is first class. Guitars, bass, drums,keys, vocals...

[@thatswhatmamatoldme8510]

How good is it to have the Darren back producing wonderful music and seeing muscians enjoying themselves. Such a big sound from a small room. Whether the recording has that ProducerNerd interpretation or is a more authentic reproduction of the original the sound always has a remarkable freshness and uniqueness. You never feel like the artists are just going through the motions to pump out another cover. TBH I almost don't want a song a week because I don't want the guys to burn out. It's also great to see Stefan Hauk and Mario Marino back in addition to the outstanding new talent. Hopefully we might see a few more familiar faces over the coming months. Thank you Singit Live team.

[@kevinallen1699]

Didn't expect that opening..... Fantastic !

[@GamesRuleDoctor]

I have been sick of this song for 30 years but I will listen to this version as it's not overproduced with a great mix, fresh guitar playing, and amazing - high energy vocals. I subscribe to hear your Olivia and now I look forward to future Pat

[@MManeval]

Folks, I am blown away! What a wonderful group, sound, the whole ball of wax! Darren, you have NOTHING holding you back now!!! Run with it my friend.... you have so much more to offer... I know it! AWESOME JOB!!!!

[@michelleper5065]

where's the bold bass player ??

[@singitliveworld]

This is not the HSCC. Yes, this studio is where they started but our producer/keyboard player and the person you mention had a falling out. They have gone separate ways. You get 2 new videos now instead of just 1!

Queen of Rock, just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Mizz Pat Benatar. Wow. Remember seeing her on TV on "The Midnight Special" for the first time, back in the late 70s: just an awesome lady with stage presence and a voice for miles. Thanks, mates, for all of your fantastic covers.

[@rollotomassi4768]

Besides being super talented, Nikki is drop dead gorgeous.

[@emanuelmota7217]

Yes, she's easy on the eyeballs.

I wish I had more suitable words to describe Darren & the absolutely fantastic & talented people he brings together. Darren, masterfully done as always. Darren, Nikki, Akasha, Tzan, Stefan, Crafty & the Great Mario Marino. Thank you all for sharing your talent. As has been said before by many, the pure joy, fun & love of performing you all reflect is undeniable. That joy passes right on through to us lucky viewers.

[@hubbaman9885]

Holy smokes! Another wonderful classic from 1983. Right down to the classic electronic drums, keyboards, and most of all, the voices. The young lady doing the intro reminds me of musician Kim Wilde in her appearance. And the other young lady sounds remarkably like Pat Benatar while still retaining her own distinct unique voice. I am impressed, oh and I like the purple lighting to. Prince would be proud of you all. Thank you all, hearing these songs from my childhood is such a treat, may the 80's live. Meeting you all and watching you live would be a great pleasure.
