This certainly is a hard song to sing. It’s all over the map. The fact that Cyndi still has the courage to decide to choose to select to perform this difficult song amongst some of the other easier songs in her repertoire shows that she’s still not afraid of a challenge but also that of the skill, versatility of her voice, the stamina she has as a vocalist, but also how well she has kept her voice in excellent health after all these years singing for a living for all of us. She chooses this hard song not only to please us, but I like to this to impress us that she’s still got these amazing chops and this song certainly proves it by showing off her vocal skills. The obligato in the middle sounds just like on the record. Perfect. Great job, Cyndi, keep singing, your concert was the first one I ever went to in 1987 and I have loved you live ever since!
I could not agree more. Her name is rarely mentioned when it comes to listing the great vocalists of all time and that is a massive injustice to her. When she pours her heart out near the end of: “When You Were Mine” it almost brings me to tears; still after decades of listing to it. As for her song: “Time After Time” there will never be a time where it comes on and I would ever skip over it. It is one of those songs that will mean a lot to the people who listen to it decades from now. Great lyrics on their own cannot do that. Though it has been covered countless times, no one has come close to bettering the original; not in my opinion anyways. Unfortunately, I believe a lot of people from this time judged her for her odd appearance, quirky personality, and thick New York accent. With 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, it is great to see that the newer generations clearly remembered hearing their parents music and are now choosing to listen to it themselves because it is so great.
What blows me away is she was in her early 60s here and sounds phenomenal. This is the BEST live version I can find on TH-cam of her doing this song. The 80s AMAwards performance comes close though. The emotion and vocal delivery was completely on point in this video. Outstanding! 👏🙌
Cindy is a wonderfully talented person! This cover of the Prince song was included in her 80's album 'She's So Unusual' and Ive always loved the fact that she chose not to change the original words, keeping them as "I know that you're going with another guy". When sung by a woman decrying the loss of her lover, these words introduce a subtle gender/sexual ambiguity that make the song ever better. Back in the 1980's, this creative choice on Cyndy's part was indeed brilliantly courageous.
WOW! She still has a set of pipes! Fantastic vocals. I've been a HUGE fan from day one. Cyndi Lauper greatly improves the quality of my life every time I hear her spectacular voice :)
It's pretty clear she takes care of herself and her voice! 😍 She sounds incredible and still puts so much heart into her performances. I realize this video is from 6 or 7 years ago, but I've seen her recent performances, too, and she's still kickin' it in the ass! ❤👑 What a class act!
After all those years, she still performed that song exactly like she did in 1983 and that's rare. Many other artists whom had hit songs back in the days especially from the 80's would dubbed it down or played an acoustic version to make more a hipster sound for the 2000's and so on. But Cyndi kept it exactly the way it is when she first played it forty years ago.
She's So Unusual is my choice for greatest album of all time. Not most people's choice, but I don't think true music-philes would argue too much. The more i hear her various performances, the more I am convinced that she is also one of the most under-rated of all time.
I am there w you. I’m seeing her at Madison Square Garden for her farewell tour so I’m listening to absolutely everything I can from her. She can sing any genre impeccably. I’m gutted she hasn’t been given the respect she deserves.
Cyndi Lauper is One of THE Top 10 MOST: Creative & Prolific Singer/ Songwriters of Our Generation ( Dolly, Stevie, Willie Nelson, Dr no by B4 no no noDylan, ) Which Generation...All: of our Generations. Remember watchin Cyn singin this: "When you Were mine" ... Back in: 1984 on The American Music Awards. Lyrics & Vocal Still Stand Up as: Awe Inspiringly Brilliant. This is: ONE TIGHT BAND PRINCE Wishes that: His Version couldVe had: This Much Energy

Realmente Genial !!! ... Cómo sí no hubieran pasado los años...Su voz, su estilo,su belleza...su sentimiento y su originalidad que la caracteriza... cómo ella no no existe nadie, ella es única... porque ella es Cindy💞💜... Un gran saludo desde México!!!
Saw her when she toured with Cher in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the early '00s. Then again in Berkeley with the B-52s a few years later. Her heartfelt live versions of "True Colors" always brings tears to my eyes.
I used to love this song when it first came out back in the 80's ... But I have to say that NOW viewing the clip I was impressed by the Looks and VOICE of Cyndi. I hope more people could appreciate this voice that still remains among us today! Hope she can do some international Tours.
Love you love your music. I remember being a young girl in 1986 and seeing your concert and I was like to talk of my junior high because I got to go see Cyndi Lauper. Thanks for the Memories girlfriend.
Have to watch this on a regular basis. Great performance by Cyndi - as usual (but so unusual - to us) and by this particular band lineup, also. She "brings it".
Has there ever been such a time? ....were a better place than the here and now, feeling the line I've withstood circles back to the very end? I need you back like a shoulder lent metaphorically all those years past, Dear....
I can’t see good enough to realise if the drummer is Sterling Campbell, who had already toured in 1987 together with her, in addition to have been part of Duran Duran or simply David Bowie’s drummer or of the band The B-52’s too. In fact, I met him twice at the backstage of this band (2013 and 2019)
This certainly is a hard song to sing. It’s all over the map.

Have you heard Rett Madison's stripped back version? And Harma Superstar's version too?
I'd be interested to hear your take on both of them.
Exacto tremenda voz e interpretación la adoro
Saw her just a couple weeks ago (late 2024) and she absolutly belted this song out still.
How is this woman not topping all the lists of great Vocalists?? Loved Cyndi forever

Cyndi definitely did Prince proud with this amazing version of Prince’s song! Love you Cyndi. Missing sweet n badass Prince so much!! 💔❤️💜💜
How can she still look this young ? Same
Voice and everything. She’s a gem, must be protected at all times!!!!!! Love her
2014
Money changes everything 😜✌❤
Love Cyndi and looove Prince!! Missing him!! 💔💜💜💜💜💜💜
The soul shines through.
Crazy isn't it, I was looking at a video clip of Doc Neeson and considering everything I was quite surprised how good he's still looking.. 🤦♂🙄😉
What blows me away is she was in her early 60s here and sounds phenomenal. This is the BEST live version I can find on TH-cam of her doing this song. The 80s AMAwards performance comes close though. The emotion and vocal delivery was completely on point in this video. Outstanding! 👏🙌
And she looks damn good!
プリンスが居なくなった今、この曲が唄えるのは彼女しか居ない。cyndi i love u !

Me too... she bop
Agree.
I love this version! Prince wrote this amazing song and he paid to watch Cyndi perform live. He was a fan! I love and miss Prince so much!! 💜💜💖💖
Be sure and look up her performance on Austin City Limits. She still rocks!
Happy Birthday Cyndi lauper ♥️ I love yo 🔥

Agreed
Still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame😢
That's the absolute best version of her song. She is a class act.
Its a great cover of His song. But Prince is tough to beat!
💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥💜💜

She sounds INCREDIBLE! IS THIS RECENT??
Was lucky enough to see Cyndi Lauper Live.
Essa sabe o que faz com a voz. Grande cantora! Continua com o brilho de sempre.
👏👏👏👏👏💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I had to translate your comment Atila but I agree totally with you.
This one remains a personal favorite of mine from her debut. Such a brilliant interpretation, musically and vocally.
Un genio de la música, 🎉
Omg! My favorite Cindy Lauper performance! Methinks this story really happened in her life!!! I hope I don't breake my replay button!
Lmao. Same here w the replay
Red hot Cyndi!! 💥🔥❤ Love this performance! Nothing compares to the hits of the 80s!
❤️
Such a beautiful job on this song Cyndi. Loved it. I get too sad thinking about Prince. Watching this performance nearly brought me to tears. 💜
Back when people had to sing their own songs.... She's still got it!
Actually, this is a song by Prince. But she did a nice job of it.
Impressionante como as músicas da Cindy despertam tanta coisa boa!!! Um saudosismo de tempos bons!!! O que é bom é eterno!!! 🇧🇷❤️🥰

Always LOVED Cindy's voice, her style, her everything!
Continua espetacular com esse voz maravilhosa dom de Deus que Deus abençoe.
beatiful Cindy
Cyndi you make me cry with this one. So powerfully moving and authentic.
I like how Cyndi sings the part in the bridge and then the keyboard repeats the melody, very cool!
Saw her when she toured with Cher in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the early '00s. Then again in Berkeley with the B-52s a few years later. Her heartfelt live versions of "True Colors" always brings tears to my eyes.
Cyndi and all band is brillint !!! Great music and performace!
Awesome cover song! Yeah, Prince certainly gave birth to the song, but Cyndi adopted it, raised it, and gave it a soul and a heart. 🔥👏💗
Cindy is timeless
…after time….after…
I love how she is singing real far back behind the beat. Coupled with her emoting it really brings a distressed element to the song. Wonderful.
I used to love this song when it first came out back in the 80's ... But I have to say that NOW viewing the clip I was impressed by the Looks and VOICE of Cyndi. I hope more people could appreciate this voice that still remains among us today!
Hope she can do some international Tours.
Rainha 👑🥰
Forever 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
RIP PRINCE! Amazing version by Cyndi! So much emotion!

My favorite singer❤❤❤

What a fantastic vocal performance- but of course Ms. Lauper has never seemed to be short of those.
