      Subscribed for sure! This is a stunningly good cover. Nikki's voice is a dead ringer for Pat's, growl and all. LOVE the contributions of Akasha and everyone else, too. Put this in the masterpiece column.

I said in an earlier comment that GREAT PRODUCERS are like a magnet for finding GREAT TALENT! And this video is a perfect example of just that! As more time goes by Darren continues to show the music industry just how deep his TALENT is. He continues to leave his counterparts in the dust! This recording and video shows what a GREAT PRODUCER does! Assemble the best musicians available and then step back and and guide them to an unbelievable recording! One for the ages!*

    Darren, with respect towards the other band that you were in, not trying to talk anyone down, how do I say this. When you left, you took a lot of the magic with you. That band isn't the same without you. It is obvious to my ears that you were the magic behind the sound in that band and now since you left, I hear vocal mistakes, mixing mistakes and more when I listen to their new videos. It's just not the same without you. Now I find myself here in music heaven. You are a master at what you do!

      It's like trying to remain friends with both people after a divorce. Noticed the ex saw fit to use Darren in his Today show promo, now that was a tad tacky. I would stand on broken glass to watch Nikki's stagecraft and Stef's wizardry. Darren is the ringmaster. Both bands have the benefit of expert producers and sound engineers and both will suffer from the lack of such, live. Maybe give each band the same song and have a shootout once a month. Oh what might have been.

    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...

    What an absolutely awesome cover! Cool to see Nikki’s daughter Akasha involved, bet she already knew what a powerhouse her mum is! Darren, you are a wizard, you were with HSCC and you still are with Singit Live, thank you for both and keep putting them out, love what you do!😊

    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.

    Not to forget the good job done by the man behind the camera, my countryman Mr. Zoran Paovic.

    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.
