Lol! Otto! Thats how I got here! I had long forgotten this song until I heard it watching reruns of 70's Show! Love this song & never knew who sang it. Not at all surprised though, Neil was an extraordinary singer & song writer, VERY VERY TALENTED!!! Love the song too. Gonna have to look up the words now though. I grew up in the 70's but some of the songs, I had to just make up the words! Lol! Like this one & I think my friends & I all sang diff words to "Wrapped up like a douche in the stroller in the night"! ROFL!!! What fun we had bk then!
@@margaretjiantonio939 That's because we were young. The 70s itself is associated with Watergate, Vietnam and its aftermath, inflation, 15% interest rates, oil embargo, Iran hostages.
Neil Sedaka is always a pleasure to listen to. I remember this piece from TV. I’m glad he enjoyed great success on his own, after spending years writing hits for others. Bravo, Neil!
Holy shit - the trumpets on this make my hair stand on end! He looks so joyful too! Until 9am this morning I’d never heard this song ever - was watching clips of the 70s show which I’d only discovered last night. I’m from the Scottish highlands and was born in 1977 - I’m gutted I’ve only discovered both in the last 24 hours!
I love this song!! I swear I wore it out on a 45. :) When I found out that Elton John was going to sing with Neil Sedaka, I nearly lost my mind! What a great team! I was in love with both of their voices at that time and still am today.
Neil Sedaka's groovy performance in 'Bad Blood' is a testament to his incredible talent. His ability to feel and convey the music's emotions is what sets him apart as a great songwriter and artist
Absolutely! 'Bad Blood' has a beat that just pulls you in, and it's a must-turn-up-the-volume kind of song. Neil Sedaka's music continues to bring joy and energy to listeners.
Wow....... All those years ago and Mr Neil Sedaka rocked the house like it was yesterday, not forgetting the band who is tight as! Left handed drummer who kicks ass, the 2 ladies backing vocals were spot on, and Neil,,, obviously in his WELL DESERVED realm. Place this guy in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Please. 10/10. My favorite Neil Sedaka song. You Rock Sir :)
The '70s had some unforgettable tunes, and Neil Sedaka's 'Bad Blood' is definitely one of them. How special to have had that record at the age of 7-such a nostalgic journey! 🌟🎤
at 29 seconds Neil introduces yet another head-move ... Kind of throws his head and hair back. -like he's having his moment/day. -Love Neil - what a monster career. .
at about 50 seconds Neil plays-out, 'acts' the part of the woman in his story. It's amazing how Neil figured out the staging of his own songs. Maybe it's a no-brainer but Neil leaves no-stone-unturned. Makes the performance so electrifying yet even humorous. Like there are 10 or 15 Neil's up there.
Great choice! Neil Sedaka's 'Bad Blood' is a classic, and it's wonderful that it holds a special place in your head. Kitty Forman's backup vocals add an extra layer of brilliance. Cheers to the fantastic music!
I'm right there with you! 'Bad Blood' by Neil Sedaka is the perfect tune to lift your spirits, and thanks to 'That '70s Show,' it's like a blast from the past that never fails to make us happy
Elton was good on the original, but the ladies singing back up... KILLED IT! Same for the band! So what Neil's dancing isn't anything like todays? But hey, he's FEELING it and having a good time! I had a great time watching ! This beats 98% of today's music.
Neil Sedaka is a maestro, and your respect for him is well-placed. "Bad Blood" is a fantastic track, and it's wonderful to see appreciation for the great music he has given us over the years.
The power of music! Neil Sedaka's 'Bad Blood' has that timeless quality that lingers in the mind. It's like reconnecting with an old friend after four decades. 🚗❤️
I was thinking the other day how much I admire Neil Sedaka. -for his boldness, talent(s), lyric's - madness - Musta killed Neil - those 11 years when he was on some kind of forced hiatus. .Luckily it was Rocket Man to the rescue - so the World got itself back its' Neil Sedaka. .
Getting Elton John to sing back up on this song was brilliant. It probably had a lot to do with the success of this song originally. Not that Neil can't sing in his own right, it's just the combination of Elton singing the backing was a great combination. A lot like Rockwell and Michael Jackson singing "Somebody's Watching Me". It's not the same without Michael. Like this song isn't the same without Elton in the background.
Agreed that there is NOTHING like Elton's tone in the upper ranges in the period, and made this song EXTRA solid. Sounds Great. Actually, this was Neil Sedaka's 2nd album on Elton John's label (Rocket Records), and the first of new new music (the first was a compilation of songs from three albums that had only been released in the UK). Elton says he only sings backup on artists he really likes... and he was a Sedaka fan, even before signing him to Rock Records. So there you go - Elton was thrilled that he landed Neil! (And Neil didn't have a contract, so probably was glad to land the deal with Rocket), and Elton was happy to sing backups. Cool stories, (imo), and GREAT music. makes me feel good..
@@magneto7930 No doubt. Neil has a great voice and he's a great entertainer/musician in his own right. But your right, having Elton in the back ground vocals added to this great hit from the 70's. I remember hearing it on the radio all the time when I was a young boy. Elton was doing quite a few "duets" back then. "Don't go Breaking My Heart" with Kiki Dee comes to mind too which was around this time too. Elton is one of the greatest musicians of our era without a doubt. He's been going for 50+ years and he's still creating some incredible music.
Elton John on back up vocals for this song was big news. It caused people to be interested in it. And it was a hit. I agree that it would probably have been a hit without Elton. It’s that good. Anyway, this fantastic song revived Neil Sedaka’s career. He’s a very talented man. But his success at up to that time, 1975 .... was with quite formulaic 50’s and 60’s pop songs for teens of that old era.
Neil Sedaka's music, like 'Bad Blood,' has a special place in our hearts. His daily concerts were a bright spot during the pandemic, and his dedication to entertaining his fans is truly amazing!
Happy Aloha Friday Thank you Neil for cheering us up. You give us positive influence & a ray of hope in the midst of the chaos all around. People are disregarding the existing danger of the pandemic, causing more harm than good. So sad. God bless & stay safe, continue to be careful.🌺🌈🤗🙏
I cried tears of joy today when I found out Neil had recovered from c-19 He needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame before we do lose him.
If anyone deserves to in the RRHoF, it's Mr. Sedaka! He is an AMAZING song writer!!
Yes! He does.
what is c-19
@@clikftp Covid 19. Neil himself told he got it.
@@WellMefisto Would you have cried tears of joy if he recovered from the Flu? No? Sounds like you have some investigation to do.
I think that is Kitty Foreman on backup vocals!
Otto Metzger hahaha i thought same
Otto Metzger don't forget Eric somewhere around
Doug Henning on ba'ss
Eric is busy behind stage, prying his dad's shoe from his backside....

Hard to believe Neil Sedaka STILL isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...
@Dayga Ah but of course your songs are great. Gmafb
@Dayga Why would you come to TH-cam to watch a song you don't like???
@Dayga Your a fwit
Totally deserves to be there
@@kympridham8267 yes he does
Seeing Neil Sedaka perform a Neil Sedaka song kills a Neil Sedaka song.
Bad blood such a perfect catchy pop song for the 70s very infectious
Neil sedaka live voice has always just as great as the records. Massive talent.
You have a great music taste Susan. Thank you.
I have an aunt who dances just like this after 5 or six G&T's.
My aunt only needed a shot - one -
.
LOL I was gonna say, I think Neil had a line or two backstage before this ....
@@groofoot he was a big time coke head . Crack too
I love this song!! I swear I wore it out on a 45. :) When I found out that Elton John was going to sing with Neil Sedaka, I nearly lost my mind! What a great team! I was in love with both of their voices at that time and still am today.
One of the greatest vocal performances of all time
One of the best ever live performances of the 70s hands down !!!!!
The suit and the head bobbing left and right is so 70s and im here for it! Laughing and loving every minute of it! 💗
That 70s Show brought me here
“Career Day” episode
Mom, Kitty gets down on singing to this song on the drive home from her job as a nurse
I thought I was the only one😅
Fuckin same aye
And there she is singing background at :38 and :40
Dido
Thinking same thing Eric and his mom on Thats 70s Show
Neil Sedaka gave me such joy with all his songs! Sang ‘‘em all in the 70’s - I was a kid with good taste❤
Love the line ‘treat you like small change’. Excellent lyric. Really hits home for a lot of people.
Hit home for me
I love these dance moves. Pure confidence. This guy is cool.
...without a doubt!!
It's rather adorable when he walks over and puts his arm around each singer during the do-ron segment. Neil was such a class act!
Love him groovin along as he belts out this wicked tune. Guys such a great talent. No wonder he’s such a great song writer He just feels it
Neil Sedaka's groovy performance in 'Bad Blood' is a testament to his incredible talent. His ability to feel and convey the music's emotions is what sets him apart as a great songwriter and artist
Is he a better entertainer/singer than Taylor Swift?
What an infectious beat. The volume automatically goes up whenever I hear this one on the Golden oldies channel!

My parents took me to a Neil Sedaka concert when I was 9 or 10 years old 🤩
He is so talented. He is also a classical pianist,,,look it up and listen
a prodigy that his Dad recognized.

LIVE !!! NO BACKING TRACKS LOVE IT !!!! AWESOME
Love when Neil gets real-cocky up there - i.e. The Neil Sedaka Strut.
(the entire song)
"Sedaka Strut" shoulda been a dance craze.

His music is indeed depiction of mastery
This was one of my favorite songs that year
Such a catchy song g !!
I just saw him last night at Saban Theatre, in Beverly Hills. Major music icon and a great man!
Always liked this song. Neil Sedaka is a very talented singer-songwriter.
Still one of my favorite songs Neil was feeling it! Great performance!
Sedaka's Bad Blood....is an excellent classic...love it man
I was thinking the other day how much I admire Neil Sedaka.
-for his boldness, talent(s), lyric's - madness -
Musta killed Neil - those 11 years when he was on some kind
of forced hiatus.
.Luckily it was Rocket Man to the rescue - so the World got itself
back its' Neil Sedaka.
.
if I had a choice between an Elvis ticket and a Neil Sedaka ticket - I'm
sorry but it'd be Neil from square one.
.
He's more fun, there are more twists and turns to every song/performance -
and Neil's fined-tuned, perfected it down to the expression/attitude.

I'd have loved to hear Sir Elton do this one on his own! He'd have blown this one away!
I think it would have been a hit without Elton on it, but you have to give Elton credit for encouraging Neil to get back into the music scene again.

0:42 - is that Dwight Schrute on keyboards?

Is it me or is Elvis Presley playing keyboards with Sedaka on stage
Can't beat classics!
Neil is quite the hoofer.

Yeah, lefty on the drums, double kicking. Drummers know what I mean😎
HAPPY 79TH BIRTHDAY NEIL SEDAKA (MARCH 13, 2018)
Wow what a mo.
Oh. Those moves.
Neil Sedaka sure knows how to entertain with those moves in 'Bad Blood.' It's a showstopper!
Ohh man those summer nights and my mickey mouse AM transistor radio 🤣
Great 70's version... love it... even though Elton John missing.
Ryan Whites favorite song...
Rumor has it that his on stage movements were the inspiration for Mick Jagger.
But what does it all mean?
Amazing drummer. Anybody know who it is?
Really cool… I also wonder who the drummer is.
Is that Bob Odenkirk on flute?
Bustin' a move!
How could anybody possibly mistake Neil Sedaka for being gay?!
Somebody get Data out of the holodeck... he's frightening the aliens again...
