yeah one of the most beautiful songs ever.
A song of pure acceptance and support. I have never, ever sensed even a whiff of insincerity in Cyndi, and that's why this song is so powerful.
Cyndi is awesome! Not just as an artist, but as a person as well.
Cyndi Lauper, as much as she already was a superstar in the eighties, is still underrated because she is one of the best singers and performers ever. She aged like fine wine and she became better and greater with the years even though her chart hits were all in her early career. If you don't believe me just check out some of her live performances on youtube or listen to less succesful songs like her rendition of Etta James song 'At Last' which will leave you speechless because of the quality of her voice and performance in this one. I bow my head to the talent of this woman. Long live Cyndi Lauper.
Hi dereck,cyndie Lauper excellent choice, listen this song" I drove all night"👍😉
You need to do a deep dive on Cyndi, she is an exceptional artist with a great deal of style and depth.
Totally agree👍🏻
She's amazing no matter who you are. She will make you feel accepted and loved. Cyndi is for everyone.
She actually wrote this song for a friend of hers who had AIDS. It's truly one of the first pride videos. That's why she references the rainbow. He didn't act the same, and she was trying to cheer him up with this song.
She didn't write the song herself, Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly did. She picked the song because of the recent death of that friend with AIDS.
this song speaks on so many levels. If you're feeling down or like you don't fit in or your voice is not being heard, you still matter and are important! It is a huge gay pride anthem yes and can still apply to other aspects of life as well! Bravo Cyndi!
It never get old.
This could not have been more timely. Cyndi’s mom just passed away in the last few days. I’ve had this song a lot on my mind ever since reading of her passing. Her mom was in most of Cyndi’s videos…and for a kid of the 80s (like me), it was always fun seeing her mom in the videos.
In this video, her mom is one of the ladies in the boat.
Thanks Dereck for this reaction.
Wow I'm so sorry that happened. That's very sad ❤️
omg, all these years later, i had no idea that was her mom.
Oh no, I hadn't heard she passed 2+ years ago. It was always fun seeing her in vids.
Still remains one of the most beautiful songs ever. The lyrics are gorgeous of course, but it's the way Cyndi delivers them that makes it hit different to any other song. Nothing but love for this.
She sings it with feeling behind it, so you feel it, I love artiists like her, who makes you feel the song, by the powerful emotion in the voice, not just belting out high notes, that is what makes one stand out to me from a singer.
I love this beautiful song by cyndi Lauper
Makes me weep every time with tranquility, melancholy and joy.
A true classic and she’s a remarkable talent one of the few artists in league with at least winning all major prices once.. Grammy Tony etc.
She's much more of this!!!
Hello *Dereck,*
What I liked about this song (of course, the arrangements, the melody, and the voice of *C. Lauper* are magnificent) are the lyrics (at the time, I had a much poorer command of English, so some song lines escaped to me).
I think many French people liked it for the same reason. The words used are relatively simple (for example: *Your colors are beautiful like a rainbow,* 90% of French people understand this sentence, even if they aren't fluent in English). These are often used in songs, slogans, etc., that almost anyone can understand.
Even if we can't explain the song word for word, we understand the general meaning the first time we listen to it.
This song delivers a beautiful message with lyrics that a child would potentially use.
It's generally the hallmark of the most beautiful texts.
Thanks for this new reaction.
Peace, folks. 🤗
Years ago I met cyndi lauper at a signing. I told her I was hiv and she was so supportive and loving. ❤️😇
🌈🌈🌈♥♥♥ Yes , thank you !!!!!!
Ronan
This is the song she should be remembered for. ❤
As per the Wiki: The single has become a popular anthem in the gay community. In various interviews, Lauper elaborated that the song had resonated with her because of the recent death of her friend, Gregory Natal, from HIV/AIDS.[7] Years later, Lauper co-founded the True Colors Fund,[8] a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating LGBT youth homelessness.
I bought the album in 1986 and still have it. I listen to it every time I go back home. This song was massive and is still one of the most beautiful pop ballad ever released. Cyndi is so so underrated.
Love Cyndi! 🥰
She’s a stunning singer …. You need to do Girls Just Want To Have Fun, Time After Time, I Drove All Night & Who Let In The Rain. Last time I saw her live was supporting Cher at the Meadowlands Arena in NJ about 8-9 years ago…… an epic show, both ladies were on top form and singing like there was no tomorrow …… one I’ll never forget for sure !!!
A so beautiful voice.
Love me some Cyndi lauper especially this song.
Cindy Lauper is a huge artist. True colors is the song of my adolescence. Thank you Derek for this very beautiful moment.
Saw her live ....................a great talent .
One of the most beautiful songs ever made!
Cyndi Lauper is a tremendous artist, singer and songwriter, she is the owner of an unreal voice and a unique and incomparable style and soul. That is why great artists and musicians such as Yoko Ono, Pink, Roger Water, Rod Steward, Jonny Mitchel, Jean Michelle Jarre, Phill Collins, France Gall to name a few love her work and her person.
Fan of Cyndi Lauper, She's Awesome. True Colors is a great song. Since you mention Erasure. You need to get around to their song with Cyndi Lauper...Erasure - Early Bird (DJ Manolo's True Colors Mix) (feat. Cyndi Lauper)
For 10 years she been doing Home for the Holidays for charity to end homelessness among LGBT youth, so many artists participated through the years, from Pink, Kesha, Cher, Adam Lambert & so many others. Even Marilyn Manson & Henry Rollins performing with Cyndi Lauper. True Colors is one of my favorite songs from Cyndi & my favorite music video from her. I Drove All Night is my favorite song from Cyndi, perhaps a future reaction.
There are some songs by Cyndi that will just leave you in tears - try I'm Going to Be Strong, Who Let In the Rain or Sally's Pigeons. Each one delivered with pure and raw emotion.
It's not easy to write a song which appeals to everyone while also promoting a message of unification and acceptance. At least not without sounding pretentious.
There's nothing pretentious about this song, though. It's very beautiful and sweet, but it's also a song of strength, empathy and genuine encouragement.
What's it about? Who is it aimed at? Well, in the tradition of the very best songs, the answer is that it's aimed at whomever you want it to be aimed at.
It could be a lover, a friend or a family member. Or even a colleague. And let's not forget the dual message of racial and gay acceptance with the rainbow motif.
It's hardly an original one. But in lesser hands, that message could've easily sounded like a United Colors of Benetton advert.
Cyndi avoids falling into that trap and delivers a truly emotional piece of music that stirs the soul as much as it comforts it.
She is one of a kind, always loved her voice and her style!!! Thanks for reacting to her
I can’t believe no one mentioned Cyndi singing Michel Berger in this comment section. The song is The World is Stone from the show Tycoon, the English language version of Starmania. She produced it herself.
Right... cyndi 's version of the world is stone is a pure jewell
Back in time for you dear Dereck 😉 nice react, look sooo young 😁. Great song, very deep and meaningfull.
Such an epic song !
simply beautiful. you need to see the live version of "Boy blue". it's chilling.
Cyndi sings the best version of I Drove All Night. The live version from "Live at Last" is amazing!
Along the same theme, check out Klaus Nomi - a new wave countertenor who sadly died of AIDS in the early '80s.
That whole concert is fantastic.
Exquisite jewel of a song. 💖 Glad you liked it.
This song is terific. I was 14 when the song and I have goosebumps each time I hear it. Thanks for that.
Ay amigo que recuerdos. Única, en un tiempo. Felicidades por tu reacción y gracias
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is Art - no doubt. 😜✌🏻🎶
Will always be one of my favourite songs. What you said about a simple message making someone's day. That really does sum up this song when I think about it. Emotional throughout, but with that underlying positivity message. It changed people's days back then and it will carry on changing people's days to the future. What a gift from Cyndi. Personally I struggled with confidence and depressive moods growing up, listening to this was like seeing the sun rise every time. ❤
Une voix magnifique ❤❤
C’est tellement beaux ;) i love cindy Lauper
Well ...at last !!! Thought you were angry or had a problem with this wonderful singer ( best voice I had ever heard...love so much the duet with Chris Isaak ( à short extract available on You tube)
A great artist: I liked Cindy a lot more than Madonna. Cindy Lauper is a wonderful artist who lives for her art and isn't afraid to be courageous in the stances she takes. Her voice is so clear and crisp. Perfect. This song has been covered many times and is a wonderful classic about acceptance and understanding. Just beautiful.
Me too, I like Madonna's music, But i prefer Cyndi. Love her style & great music of all genres from her, specially her pop/rock tunes. Madonna is more of Dance & pop artist.
I went to the true colors concert in Houston 💜❤️
😍😍😍💐💐💐💖💖💖
I really enjoy your videos Derek
I saw her in San Diego, during Gay Pride 2002. She sounded just like this.
Entertainment Tonight Canada had a segment of Gay/Pride Anthems from various decades, True colors was the 80's Anthem & Beautiful from the 00's. I love Cyndi Lauper, her music, voice & style. Must check out Cyndi Lauper - True Colors - Live Performance at WorldPride (Official Video) is such a great performance. More reaction videos of this Icon...
❤❤❤❤
💎
This song is an unofficial gay anthem. Cyndi Lauper is legendary. " I see your true colors, that's why I love you. it's beautiful like a rainbow 🌈 "
If everyone showed their weird all the time we'd have a better planet.
What a surprise you like rainbows
I had a boyfriend who was a DJ at a gay club in the early 90's and we broke up. He saw me come into the club and stopped the dance music and played this. This was one of our songs. It was romantic. Yes, we got back together for a short time more. We were both under 22 so you know how that goes.
Did he go for men
@@-M0LE Yes
@@-M0LE of course. If he works in a gay club it is obvious he was there for the sex opportunities.
Cyndi has a gay sister. When she sings this live, she sometimes wraps herself in the rainbow flag as she sings it.
Hi derek can you put the subtitle?
Hello, thanks for your videos! Can you listen "Rainbow" by LP
🌈🌈🌈🌈💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Phill Collins dose a nice version of this song.
This song was inspired by her gay friend during the aids epidemic. beatiful message.
