Actually they adore each other. Are not comparable except for the timing and the amount of $ they raised for the lgbt+ community. Cyndi is a rock singer Madonna is dance. Only one can still pack an arena 3 nights in a row. Has the sales record. Madonna is not a great singer. But her first records are pre auto tune and iconic. Why can’t they both be Queens. No one ever pits men against each other. It’s so lame and uncreative. And Cyndi, a stellar vocalist was shit in this performance. Btw. They both have moments. Not to mention Debby Harry, Pat Benetar, Ann Wilson, Heart, Belinda Carlisle and a shit ton more....
For reference, I'm 43. She's So Unusual was the first full album I really loved and this was my favorite song. I had no idea what it really meant at the time, I thought it was about dancing. Now knowing what it really meant, I wonder how many adults were shocked at the time seeing me start singing it.
Please do her biggest hit "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" Tonight Show March 1984, then please react to Wilson Pickett, "Land of 1000 Dances" live in Africa 1970 you won't forget it. God bless to you and yours.
My mother is almost pure French, very conservative and her understanding of English was limited. My mother use to blast that song in the car when I was a kid. When I turned 13 or 14 and listened to the lyrics and realized the meaning of that song, I couldn't stop laughing.
I love 💛 ❤ this TINY WOMAN, But SHE IS a POWERFUL And an Extremely TALENTED TINY Female! How i WISH you would've done the studio version INSTEAD. 😢 😢 She writes A LOT of her OWN Music and Songs, And she plays something like 5 Or 6 different instruments. She has WON Numerous Awards since the 80's But she first started off doing Cover songs with a Band since way back in the 70's. I'd love to go see her Production of KINKY BOOTS (which Also got her a Tony Award) But i've got NO idea if that Show is still on Tour (??). She had a REAL SAD Troubled past But THANK GOD, she overcame that NASTY "Hurdle" and stuck to her Music because her Career TOOK OFF when "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" became a Top 10 Hit IN MANY different countries (NOT just here in the U.S.A., which by the way, she was born in NewYork). #CyndiLauper 💛 ❤ #KinkyBoots 👡 👢
I've always loved Cydi her music is always fun!! I think she was one of the most underrated singers her range is unbelievable I don't think I've heard her sing a ballad? Her music is always kinda silly like this but listen to her range!!
I always enjoy your reactions. I did not know the meaning of this song until now and heard it around growing up. Sometimes I'd rather not know the meaning so I can just like a song.
I was just a kid when this came out, and I thought it was a fun, catchy song, but I didn't understand the lyrics. I just thought they sounded strange and I was like, "What does that mean, anyway? 'She bop, we bop and you bop'..." It just seemed nonsensical. It was only years later that I read about the actual meaning of the song, and I couldn't stop laughing - just think of all of us little girls out there, dancing around to this song, no idea what it really meant. Cyndi was and is unique, and I love her for writing this song.
I've been binge watching many of your videos, I love the reactions. A new subscriber here! Please react to Pentatonix Hallelujah, Golden Earring's Twilight Zone, Prince's Purple Rain, Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf, Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time, Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl, and Sweet's Little Willie.
Studio versions are always better because they so exactly the way the artists wanted. Too many complications with acoustics and less instruments when the do live versions.
Did you know that this song was on Tipper Gore's Filthy List back in the 80's. By today's standards it's Sesame Street level, but Al Gore's wife tried to get it banned. Cyndi is golden and my favorite. Thank you for reacting to her music and keeping an open mind. When I was your age, you would have never caught a young guy admitting to liking her. I was bullied hard for loving her.
One female singer, who in my opinion, doesn't get enough recognition is Nina Hagen. She is from what was once East Germany then moved to the West. She is a bit eccentric in dress and singing style, but she has done everything from punk to disco to opera to 1940s covers. She now does Christian rock. She has a great sense of humor while she sings. My favorite song by her is "Born in Xixax". Her only American hit is "New York, New York".
A Great live performance by Cyndi Lauper is "Baby Workout" from Paris tour. Money Changes Everything (Live Music Video) & When you were mine (AMA 1985) Must see!
I don't think this version does the song or Cyndi justice. Good Enough from the Goonies soundtrack is one of my favorites, and True Colors and Time after Time are also beautiful classics of hers.
Cyndi Lauper's True Colors is really beautiful. She looks tired in this performance. She's usually a lot more energetic. This is still a really good song. ✌💞🖖
My favorite memory of this song was when a local station was having an 80s night and some woman called in requesting it. DJ: You know what that song is about right? Woman: Yeah it's about dancing! DJ: It's about masturbation! Woman: What?
bop = masturbation lol, that's why this song has meaning still today! Things about "Vibrations", etc.. It's basically about sexuality and freedom, which after the sexual revolution, was still taboo for women to talk about masturbation, and still is, or at the very least, it is only permissible as fetishization, instead of about self gratification, and sexual liberation. Cyndi putting this on mainstream, for a personal interest instead of say, for the gratification of men, talking about self pleasure, was pretty dang radical. It reminds me of Janelle Monae's Pynk. "I can't stop messing with the danger zone, they say I better stop or I'll go blind" "She bop he bop and we bop , I bop you bop and they bop....Ohh ohh she do she bop."
This is the first time I've seen your reactions. Even tho I thought her voice was weak [and bad!] the best part is that YOU DIDN'T INTERRUPT THE SONG. Music lovers HATE when a song is interrupted, especially time and time again. Keep it up dude.
Cyndi is amazing but this is not one of my favourite songs she did. "Time After Time" and "I Drove All Night" are both extremely beautiful and really show off her voice
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You have to watch the official video! Hilarious, brilliant, and yes - it's about masturbation. (She's at the Masterbingo game show in one scene of the video.) I am not in love with this live version... And I LOVE Cyndi Lauper.
If you haven't yet you need to listen to some Tori Amos... she can play two pianos at once. I would recommend a reaction to Silent All These Years (it's intense, tells a story).
To really understand her voice, listen to I Drove All Night, or one of her most iconic hits, Time After Time. But this song was really progressive for its time: 1983, and about how women (and everyone) masturbates and it shouldn't be seen as a shameful thing. This was a radical message at the time (this was during the era kd president Reagan, an extremely conservative time, especially when women and laws about women's bodies were concerned). So here was this quirky pop star singing about how "I bop, you bop, they bop..." With the underlying message that everyone should just calm down and stop shaming people for it. I was 9 when this came out and didn't know it was about masturbation until probably ten years later. i laughed so hard when I realized what I had been singing along to in elementary school!
I would love to see you react to Madonna’s performance of Like A Prayer during her Blonde Ambition Tour in the early 1990s - th-cam.com/video/wf_VkDSVsdk/w-d-xo.html
Incredible voice, but with all the other great voices and bands coming out at the time, she had to be different to be noticed. All Through the Night is her best vocal hit.
Perhaps you've not chosen the best song to define Cyndi Lauper. And live... Please forget it and try with "Time after time" or "I drove at night", studio versions with good sound quality. You'll get a better idea of Cyndi's music.
You can tell on this song so much, but Cyndi is a vocal powerhouse. Shes an incredible vocalist.
Cyndi Lauper and Madonna came out at the same time and she was wiping the floor with Madonna.
Too little realize that was the case.
Cyndi is the true Queen.
Lies. Madonna is the most successful female artist ever and the biggest of the 80s. Cindy lauper is also a force and a legend
Actually they adore each other. Are not comparable except for the timing and the amount of $ they raised for the lgbt+ community. Cyndi is a rock singer Madonna is dance. Only one can still pack an arena 3 nights in a row. Has the sales record. Madonna is not a great singer. But her first records are pre auto tune and iconic. Why can’t they both be Queens. No one ever pits men against each other. It’s so lame and uncreative. And Cyndi, a stellar vocalist was shit in this performance. Btw. They both have moments. Not to mention Debby Harry, Pat Benetar, Ann Wilson, Heart, Belinda Carlisle and a shit ton more....
80s baby. I am glad you are seeing her live. Super energy and great voice.
you should watch and listen to her song "time after time" (her best SINGING) in my opinion.
I'm Gonna Be Strong would be my pick.
Boy Blue Live In Paris has to be up there as far as best singing.
For reference, I'm 43. She's So Unusual was the first full album I really loved and this was my favorite song. I had no idea what it really meant at the time, I thought it was about dancing. Now knowing what it really meant, I wonder how many adults were shocked at the time seeing me start singing it.
mine too, I was just a toddler but already on a path of hedonism and disgrace lol
whelp I was today years old when I got it. thank you for this
-30yrs old
Yes!!!!!!
I love her....saw her on her True Colors Tour!!! She is fantastic! This song is great!!!
Lucky, lucky Shelley! :-)
Please do her biggest hit "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" Tonight Show March 1984, then please react to Wilson Pickett, "Land of 1000 Dances" live in Africa 1970 you won't forget it. God bless to you and yours.

My mother use to blast that song in the car when I was a kid. When I turned 13 or 14 and listened to the lyrics and realized the meaning of that song, I couldn't stop laughing.
😂😂😂
If your want to see what a great singer she can be, listen to "I Drove All Night".
Seconded, along with "I'm Gonna Be Strong."
Definitely
She did the best cover of that song. That whole symphony behind her made such a full wall of sound!
I wish you heard the studio version. It was so much better!
Yes
I love 💛 ❤ this TINY WOMAN, But SHE IS a POWERFUL And an Extremely TALENTED TINY Female!
How i WISH you would've done the studio version INSTEAD. 😢 😢
She writes A LOT of her OWN Music and Songs, And she plays something like 5 Or 6 different instruments. She has WON Numerous Awards since the 80's But she first started off doing Cover songs with a Band since way back in the 70's.

My favorite Cyndi Lauper song
I've always loved Cydi her music is always fun!! I think she was one of the most underrated singers her range is unbelievable I don't think I've heard her sing a ballad? Her music is always kinda silly like this but listen to her range!!
Watch her "True Colors"
She`s so unusual ! Love her voice !!!

Forgot about this one...Fun, fun, fun...
♪♫
Do I want to go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more...
Bop is an invented word for what everyone does in secret!!
I saw Cyndi Lauper in concert with Cher...wow 👏, 👏 , love Cyndi

I'd love to see you analyse the lyrics, for example this song is about self pleasure
A very specific type of self pleasure. Lol
I'm an '80s kid. I love all of Cindy Lauper's stuff.
Its actually about bisexuality.
liquiddymonds no it’s about masturbation she said it herself. Listen carefully to the lyrics. They say I’d better stop or I’ll go blind
Look it up
@@liquiddymonds Wrong. Bop is masturbation. She bop, he bop, we bop. I bop, you bop, they bop. We all masturbate.
You r right! Female masturbation
Nooooo! The original!!!! Listen to her sing in “We are the World” She kills it!!!!
Cyndi Lauper...Time After Time...a Classic
You need to check her out again. She has a mind blowing voice and she doesn't always showcase it!
"Blue Boy" magazine was a gay porn mag. Couldn't get a lot of women's porn back then.
Great stuff you made my day
Thank you
The studio version is better.
Yes but her live performance on Johnny Carson was a great version too.
Studio versions are always better because they so exactly the way the artists wanted. Too many complications with acoustics and less instruments when the do live versions.
You boys need to watch Talking Heads Stop Making Sense. I just know you would love it so much!

Wow! That's just so disappointing to hear about Tipper Gore. Idk... censorship like that bothers me... judgemental. Shame is such a shame
Cyndi Lauper was rockin' the shaved head on one side and bright colored hair on the other long before the people today did. She was a trendsetter.
Awesome live performance 1985 American Music Awards When you were Mine by Cyndi Lauper
You might want to react to the original "I wanna Be Strong" by Cyndi. Her voice is out of this world... Love you guys! :)
First time seeing Live! I liked that. Yes - she was a huge star of the time
All Through the Night
In concert, she is one of the best and most powerful singers I have seen. I dont think it translates as much on video.
One female singer, who in my opinion, doesn't get enough recognition is Nina Hagen. She is from what was once East Germany then moved to the West. She is a bit eccentric in dress and singing style, but she has done everything from punk to disco to opera to 1940s covers. She now does Christian rock. She has a great sense of humor while she sings. My favorite song by her is "Born in Xixax". Her only American hit is "New York, New York".
I have been a huge fan of Nina Haagen since the early 80s. She is amazing!
Got to see her live. I was worn out by the end of the concert! Don't know how she does it! It was amazing.
Cyndi has an amazing voice which many people do not realize. This song doesn't really show her true talent but it was still good.
Another good one to react to is Chris Isaack's Wicked Game.
Girls just wanna have fun....Cindi Lauper True Colors
You might want to check some Alanis Morsette “Jagged Little Pill” or “You Ought To Know.”
A Great live performance by Cyndi Lauper is "Baby Workout" from Paris tour. Money Changes Everything (Live Music Video) & When you were mine (AMA 1985) Must see!
A few good ones by cindy lauper is girls just wanna have fun and the Goonies are good enough great songs you should check.
This woman can play any instrument....
Bop....self pleasuring
Time After Time...a classic...
Great pick.
I don't think this version does the song or Cyndi justice. Good Enough from the Goonies soundtrack is one of my favorites, and True Colors and Time after Time are also beautiful classics of hers.
Cyndi Lauper's True Colors is really beautiful. She looks tired in this performance. She's usually a lot more energetic. This is still a really good song. ✌💞🖖
Cyn the best ever!
Aldo Nova on guitar. Check out his song "Fantasy", or his work with Bon Jovi on "Runaway".
This thread is full of fun facts I somehow missed back then. Had no clue Aldo Nova was in her band. I studied his music back then
I used to jump & jump up & down to this song, playing it over & over. Should've played original official video.
Cyndi Lauper 💘😌😎🙊
My favorite memory of this song was when a local station was having an 80s night and some woman called in requesting it.
DJ: You know what that song is about right?
Woman: Yeah it's about dancing!
DJ: It's about masturbation!
Woman: What?
Girls Just Want to Have Fun is another good Song by her.
The title might also work for this song. LOL
Girl power!
bop = masturbation lol, that's why this song has meaning still today! Things about "Vibrations", etc.. It's basically about sexuality and freedom, which after the sexual revolution, was still taboo for women to talk about masturbation, and still is, or at the very least, it is only permissible as fetishization, instead of about self gratification, and sexual liberation.

"I can't stop messing with the danger zone, they say I better stop or I'll go blind" "She bop he bop and we bop
, I bop you bop and they bop....Ohh ohh she do she bop."
A few good ones by cindy lauper is girls just wanna have fun and the Goonies are good enough great songs you should check them out.
Or.the national anthem she performed! My God!
The official video is great.
This is the first time I've seen your reactions. Even tho I thought her voice was weak [and bad!] the best part is that YOU DIDN'T INTERRUPT THE SONG. Music lovers HATE when a song is interrupted, especially time and time again. Keep it up dude.
if he didn't interrupt, the video'll get blocked by youtube.
Cyndi is amazing but this is not one of my favourite songs she did. "Time After Time" and "I Drove All Night" are both extremely beautiful and really show off her voice
cyndi made me tired just watching her run up and down those stairs
Yeah cyndi rocks 🎧👠🎶🔥💐👌🏼👩🏼🦳💃
I was in high school when this came out.
I've never heard the live version!
Blondie Man From Mars hilarious
Rapture?
Please do "True Colors"
Cyndi’s is fun music & love her performances... tho this isn’t a song I care for much.
Didn’t mind this song when it came out.
I Love Rock n Roll by Joan Jett.
Sound stage recording far better than live.
She'll go blind if she bops
I used to jam to this song and try to dress like her! Lol
Iko iko & True Colors
The video for this song is funny, as are most of her videos.
Or "Maybe he'll Know " when she was with Blue Angel.
I got a question, how much do you have to do it to go blind? Hopefully it's not 5,000 and 1.
The Official Video is better because it plays like the original record.
And We Danced by The Hooters
try hunter by bjork!
You should listen to The Police and some Blondie
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
You have to watch the official video! Hilarious, brilliant, and yes - it's about masturbation.
(She's at the Masterbingo game show in one scene of the video.)
I am not in love with this live version... And I LOVE Cyndi Lauper.
If you haven't yet you need to listen to some Tori Amos... she can play two pianos at once. I would recommend a reaction to Silent All These Years (it's intense, tells a story).
try Bjork - Human Behaviour
Please watch and listen to Cyndi Lauper's song True Colors and Time After Time really good songs decent videos very old 80s
To really understand her voice, listen to I Drove All Night, or one of her most iconic hits, Time After Time.

True Colors by Cyndi Lauper...
Did this sweet kid ever understand the meaning of this song?.
The live version is fun. But the official video is great: th-cam.com/video/KFq4E9XTueY/w-d-xo.html
Cyndi is a gilf
Does he know what this song is about?
Blondie (Debbie Harry).
PET SHOP BOYS "OPPORTUNITIES"
I would love to see you react to Madonna’s performance of Like A Prayer during her Blonde Ambition Tour in the early 1990s - th-cam.com/video/wf_VkDSVsdk/w-d-xo.html
You should listen to feel good inc by gorillaz
Check out The Cardigans "My Favorite Game (Dead Version)".
th-cam.com/video/Z-Vosrjdj0Q/w-d-xo.html
I was like 8 when this song came out...didn't know it was all about female masturbation till a few years later.
I wish he would have done the actual video instead which would make it very obvious what this song is about. Funniest song about masturbation ever !
Incredible voice, but with all the other great voices and bands coming out at the time, she had to be different to be noticed.
All Through the Night is her best vocal hit.
Perhaps you've not chosen the best song to define Cyndi Lauper. And live... Please forget it and try with "Time after time" or "I drove at night", studio versions with good sound quality. You'll get a better idea of Cyndi's music.
