I saw this tour in Oakland, CA - she did this number. It was incredible. She also had fancy lighting, and while there were no fireworks there was a confetti cannon that when combined with the disco ball on her head was pretty spectacular.
Well, certainly not for her singing. It's Trevor Horns production which made that song a hit. The vocal line consists of just four notes ... and she has still problems hitting them. And ... come on, Grace, dress up, you're 70 years old!
baby...the fact that hula hoop never fell. hell I can't chew gum and walk! let alone hold a note, hula hoop and walk!! Grace Jones was one of the most amazing people of my generation...wow what a hell of a woman!
The fact she did this in stiletto's and never stopped with the hoola hoop and she was in her 70's......Wow - just wow...her voice is amazing.....now this is real art and performance....
the stamina is unbelievable. you've got 'so-called singers' who grunt a few times into a microphone and call that a concert. Then, you've got Grace who is 50+ singing while hula-hooping non-stop. Oh, the stamina!
There is no one like Grace - her lyrics, her gestures, her voice and her act on stage is unbelievably unique and one of a kind! Truly free spirited, creative and walks her own path.
A woman America was not ready for , she was already modeling at age 13 , that unique look of her landed her in Paris where she began to model for high end designer during the 1970’s era , she did not stop there she went further and pursued a career in music , then came her first album “ Portfolio “ in 1977 and she sounded like wowwwwww who is this , every thing about her was different, her look , her accent , the way she dressed , the make up , the hair , an icon was born , I guess I knew because interestingly I was 13 in 1977 living my own teenage years with a certain way where I knew I was ahead of my time ,I was fascinated by fashion , American music & culture , I knew I was different and destined to greater things in life and somehow Grace jones may have impacted my outlook on life , I followed that woman for 45 years as a fan , now 58;and her 74 and I am amazed on how good this woman looks in her almost mid 70’s and how she continues to perform on stage and defying TIME !!! My favorite album remains the first “ Portfolio “ with the songs ( sorry, la vie en rose , that’s the trouble ) second best for me is slave to the rhythm , that performance on stage is worth a million dollars , only can Grace pull that kind of performance and get Wawa’s with it . May Grace live long and to more stunning appearances on stage . LOVE that woman . May O
Maybe Grace Jones then just should focus on the singing, as that is hard enough for her. Come on, she's not a good singer and that songs melody is jut four notes! It's Trevor Horn's production, which made that song a classic, not Grace Jones vocal performance.
How the hell does she do that? That's amazing. I don't think I can keep the hula hoop going for that long, much less sing a song while doing it like that. Grace Jones is amazing!
Amazing!!! Hula hooping , gesturing, singing and all at the same time and doing it at 63 ! I get goosebumps every time I see this video. When this song came out it was Shocking fabulous and it still is. I'm sorry Lady Gaga, but that nah nah song just didn't cut it for me. Listen how strong, and expressive this song is from the beat to the lyrics . Sorry Lady Gaga, but you never rose to Grace's level.
Absolutely true! A mere 25 years ago, it is amazing that she employed this many real musicians, playing real instruments, not pre-recorded electronic, digital shit. Probably the end of an era when live performers could actually make a living at this, besides the Big Five orchestras and the Met---and now that they are no longer being paid as of yesterday, who knows what lies ahead?
This performance to this song from the GREAT 🌟GRACE JONES 🌟 is ONE of The GREATEST performances I have ever watched. This woman was and still is an ICON, PIONEER, TRAILBLAZER, and A LIVING LEGEND!!!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
There will never be another Grace Jones ,she stands alone on life's stage most mesmerizing and so unique in every performance it is raw natural talent never to be duplicated !
Grace I LOVE YOU!!!!....This lady is a landmark in Rock history....Nobody can beat this beauty...The best there is .the best there was, the best there ever will be....!!!
I was waiting for her to drop the hula at the end, but she moves on and go out of stage and this is smart: "Never stop the action", she keeps doing it and we have the impression it is still going on... forever.
@secret squirrel why are you here then?? to be hateful & ugly & use foul language to criticize a performer whom many around the world admire as beautiful & unique & strong unlike a sad useless & truly pathetic internet troll who contributes zero to the world in any way - why do people ike you do this?
Hula hoop not missing a beat to the music! Fantastic entertainer, Grace Jones is very talented! She's very physical and puts so much emotion into her music! Spectacular in ever way!
And for those who have not been paying attention for a while, this is what a proper celebrity, pop star, vocalist, and most importantly what a model looks and sounds like, a human on the very top of the pile... So many decades of loving this woman and her voice.. Miss Grace Jones..Superstar..
UNSUNG!!! This woman is amazing, powerful and so fierce! Remarkable presence, voice and style!!! Ahead of her time! I saw her performance in a small club in NJ. She showed out!! Standing room only. I was so close to her I could touch her feet. Can you imagine looking up into her tall stature? I was mesmerized and done.
I love her voice and her stage performances are so interesting and well done, and those endless long legs are just amazing. He whole character look is what makes her so special.
Each video I watch I fall in love with her even more... It's very clear I was born in the wrong time. O well, at least I get to watch these videos, and I'm loving the inspiration I'm getting from them...
Incredible feat. That hula-hoop "never stops the action!" Miss Jones manages to "keep it up" throughout her entire --live-- performance. All well-deserved references to her iconic and/or legendary status aside, I just wonder how many ladies her age could pull something similar. Incredible.
I remember her on an interview with Russell Harty this was years and years ago when she actually hit him you do not argue with Grace Jones in it 61 to be able to do that I think is amazing from Queen to another one brilliant darling brilliant
I am 75 yo and been rockin' for 65 years. THIS is my second fav of all time (the "long version" of The Doors "Light My Fire" remains #1). ALL hail Miss Grace Jones!
I have not seen Grace Jones for a while on regular televidion, she looks great, her voice sounds the same, her stage performance is fabulous, she knows exactly how to keep herself relevant. She sure knows how to work that hulla hup. You go Grace, make that money.
I don't want to think of how many times Grace has done this in practice and performance. I can't keep a hula hoop going for even a full minute, let alone sing, dance, and walk while hula-hooping. And it's a great metaphor for the song; she's a slave to the rhythm of that hula hoop.
Some artist Are just in a class all their own, and Grace is one of them… And besides, who else could ride a hula hoop, and seen this song to perfection… You go, girl… Keep on rockin

Grace Jones is the only person who could hula hoop throughout a song and have it seem completely normal.
It's only idiots like you who think it's normal
and wear those shoes!
I rekon she does the hool hoop when she's puttin on a boil wash and de-wormin the cat
@BP63 Let me see if I can find a fuck to give about what you’re saying. Nope, can’t. Now off you pop.
IDD she's got the breath and stature to do it! Amazing!
She has no dancers, no fancy lighting or fireworks. SHE IS THE SHOW. and the band is incredible! All hail Grace Jones, pioneer and wonder woman. ❤
I saw this tour in Oakland, CA - she did this number. It was incredible. She also had fancy lighting, and while there were no fireworks there was a confetti cannon that when combined with the disco ball on her head was pretty spectacular.
Agree it made me cry it was so good 😢
Cada vez que la veo me encanta y me vuelvo más joven otra vez
Yes, indeed!
Ms Grace didn't miss a beat! This woman is more than amazing! A beautiful Black Queen 👑.
It's amazing that she was able to hula hoop and sing the entire time and not run out of air....i can't even hula hoop alone for a few seconds
She is used to it. She’s been doing it for years. Plus hula-hooping is her favorite thing to do
With stilletos on!!
Because you're useless that's why
That's what I thought too... Then I saw the 9 minute version!!!!
th-cam.com/video/RW8FBRYnKEY/w-d-xo.html
Yeah but it's a big hoop, like... shes fresh off the boat into hoop world like
She is part of a small group of giants unique and unreachable who are impossible to imitate.
One of the greatest female performers of all time.
Correct.
Just lose the word "female"....
Well, certainly not for her singing. It's Trevor Horns production which made that song a hit. The vocal line consists of just four notes ... and she has still problems hitting them. And ... come on, Grace, dress up, you're 70 years old!
@@f.herumusu8341 -- thanks once again, Mr Horn.

Proud of our black lady
She’s one of the best people ever.
baby...the fact that hula hoop never fell. hell I can't chew gum and walk! let alone hold a note, hula hoop and walk!! Grace Jones was one of the most amazing people of my generation...wow what a hell of a woman!
Was?
Amazing! Love her!
I love her SO MUCH
She is still one of the most amazing person. You talk as if she is dead.
Yeah. "Was"? She just pounded it out at a festival last week. 67.Tits out and everything!
The fact she did this in stiletto's and never stopped with the hoola hoop and she was in her 70's......Wow - just wow...her voice is amazing.....now this is real art and performance....
Nice comment. What's stiletto's meaning?
.. Its not correct .. she is 62 years old .. btw .. Great Performance
@Rene Santos stilettos are a type of shoes...Heels...high heels.
@@luckypook3 thank you for your attention. Appreciate it.
She did this song again recently in her 70s.
I love her so much! Who is here in year 2024? ❤🥰👍🏼
Me, from Brasília-DF.!❤
Me. She’s a fearless queen
Yesterday she was in Skopje, Macedonia. It was Unforgettable!!!
At 67, Grace is still snatching people's edges clean off! wow such an amazing entertainer
the stamina is unbelievable. you've got 'so-called singers' who grunt a few times into a microphone and call that a concert. Then, you've got Grace who is 50+ singing while hula-hooping non-stop. Oh, the stamina!
Matthew Davidse my god I wished i hadn't missed her live at the Trocadero in SF in the 80's! I hope she tours here again!
67 OMG!!!!!!!
Shes now 70
so she is 60 here?...wow, I mean. WOW.
There is no one like Grace - her lyrics, her gestures, her voice and her act on stage is unbelievably unique and one of a kind! Truly free spirited, creative and walks her own path.
she has always been on an entirely different level. god bless this living legend

An opera singer once told me that one of the hardest things to do is to move and sing at the same time.
Slartibartfast I’m a dancer, and not only singing, but wearing that mask! It’s hard to see where you’re going!
@Slartibartfast No shit Sherlock! 😂🕵😆
Even harder with a hulla hoop
Maybe Grace Jones then just should focus on the singing, as that is hard enough for her. Come on, she's not a good singer and that songs melody is jut four notes! It's Trevor Horn's production, which made that song a classic, not Grace Jones vocal performance.

pretty amazing voice for a live performance and this version of the song sounds incredible with the orchestra
I love this song.
love your content, its cool to find you in the comment section of one of my favorite songs
Agreed. This song was made for an orchestra!
How the hell does she do that? That's amazing. I don't think I can keep the hula hoop going for that long, much less sing a song while doing it like that. Grace Jones is amazing!
67 years old too
When you can't go to the gym because you have a concert, but don't want to skip cardio.
LOL right... I feel inspired to do that at work lol
I almost piss my pants:_)
Thanks, you make me smile.
😄😄😄😄
It’s called skills which none of you have and your humor is dry try some water if you’re too lazy to get to the fridge.

Grace Jones as Hula- Hoop Queen in the Guinness Book of Records.
She´s fascinating !!!
If you haven’t ever hula hooped before than you have no idea how impressive this is...
This performance deserves at least 100 million views as it is pure quality!

this girl knows how to captivate and work the crowd, not many performers are capable of doing this, and she's in her sixties, wow.
Grace Jones is a PHENOM! So out of this world, the audience didn't know how to react. Mind Blown!!
I was waiting for her to drop the hula at the end, but she moves on and go out of stage and this is smart: "Never stop the action", she keeps doing it and we have the impression it is still going on... forever.

Unbelievable. Respect!
Happy earthday Grace Jones. Love you my Jamaican sista!!

SIR CHAMPA Definitely a great legend. I love her so much it's ridiculous and amazing.
John Buckhalter wow you're really lucky to see him
