It is so very that Dionne Warwick was not an inductee in this year's r&b hall of fame. All due respect to the other artists. However, Dionne Warwick's many decades of chart toppers should have been considered as well. She has had the longevity that many have not. Why she has been over looked is amazing and appalling. Who has master her vocal range and technique. Promises Promises alone is both difficult to play and sing. Yet, she went from the lower range to hit and sustain the high notes effortlessly. Although she was honored this year at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, she has otherwise been far too long overlooked. Cynthia Erivo sang "Alfie" which was a breathtaking performance. She nailed it and honored Ms. Warwick's classic. Dionne Warwick I have followed you from the Scepter years to present. The voice of the ages. Many may have forgotten you Dionne Warwick, but I yet play you (piano), listen to your artistry and remember when. Bravo Diva Dionne Warwick w/love always. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I honestly do not care that she is lip syncing here. What is the big deal? so many artists have done this on so many shows. It's not like we don't know that Dionne is talented and can sing. She is still enduring in this fickle industry after 60 plus years in show business. Her lip syncing on TV shows occasionally does not negate or diminish her talent. She is and always will be relevant and fabulous.
@@robertspiegel9215 Yet, I certainly would not appreciate paying to see a singer lip sync. Of course, a television appearance is an entirely different animal with different dynamics. I, for one, thank God that(as a vocalist) I escaped the scathing rigors of being a worldly entertainer. “Only what you do for Christ will last.” PWG
Ms. Warwick is royalty and anyone who tries to berate her or bring her down to what ever degree is the lowest form of social BS there is. She is on a pinnacal above and beyond others.
Is she lip syncing here? It sounds pretty much like the recording. Also promises promises is a song that leaves very little room for deviation or embellishments - It pretty much has to be sung As Is. So why do you believe she's lip syncing?
@@markpeter4304 She is lip-syncing here. Play the original studio vocal and play this one. They are identical. No singer sounds exactly like their studio vocal when they sing live. (Also, if you watch her breathing, she isn't taking the slightly larger breaths you need when hitting extended notes. That's a dead giveaway. I'm a longtime professional musician and singer, and this is an easy one to spot)
@@squirrelbutler2119 That's because there is no band playing live, it's a UK programme and alot of the programmes never allowed singers to be live. Look at Top of The Pops
Whether a song wa lip synced or not was usually the decision of the producers of the show, for several reasons . . . the lack of a live band onstage, problems getting vintage sound systems adjusted, etc.

@@danadams4714 Yeah, I think spinadnmarty was simply saying that Dionne Warwick was so talented that she would never need to lip-sync. And she was def lip-syncing on this one Doesn't make your point invalid, though, that it's not necessarily the artist who gets to decide how they will be performing
There's another video of her visibly pregnant & she's singing live. THere's a moment when she sings the high C# & she looks like she's praying her water doesn't break. She absolutely crushed it

Such an incredibly difficult song to sing. Just beautiful 🤩
Yes - very tricky writing and changes in meter. And she makes it seem effortless- a great recording.
Such beauty, class and elegance to go along with that distinctive, melodic voice.
Great song Burt you will be missed Dionne belt it's out very great singer the best of the best
This is a song that I heard often and every time that I hear it, I get tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful and unique voice!
Que voz ela tem , causa inveja boa né ,god bless her voice❤❤❤
Her voice and the great orchestra just make this song EXPLODE ! Many thanks to the incredible Mr. Burt Bacharach
And - it’s from a B’way Musical! One of the last Top 40 hits (along with songs from HAIR around the same time)coming out of a musical for many years.
omg, I think this is one of the best promises performances she ever did! she made this song seems so easy, but it never is!!! thank you for sharing!
This is lipped, this is the studio version.
Yes, this is lip-synced, not live, so it is, indeed, "easy" here!
A fantastic song, though!
@@ragnabolt683 So what?
@@Original-arica_bee It wasn’t intended as an insult, so you can take that elsewhere.
@@ragnabolt683 Nope
There can only be one Dionne!!❤
Brilliant! Dionne Warwick was a superb singer! Beautiful!

Lindo de mais
Who you talking about?
Saaaaaaaaaaannnggg Icon! Ms. Dionne you are the best!!❤❤. Btw, this is lip sync but we know that she does it live better than the recording😂😂😂
Flawless lip sync. Always wondered that was like for the audience during a taping. Nevertheless that recording is terrific!
She looks even more beautiful than her vocal stylings! PWG
Geez whew
Shes actually inverted
It’s rare that Miss Warwick would lip sync.
This is the first tv appearance that I have heard her lip syncing.. she always sang live😂

No to lip sync. She’s better than that. Come on Red.
yes, she is lip-syncing here

She looks pregnant which may explain the lip synching.
There's another video of her visibly pregnant & she's singing live. THere's a moment when she sings the high C# & she looks like she's praying her water doesn't break. She absolutely crushed it
Pregnancy doesn’t hinder singing abilities- I sing and my pregnancy did not stop my ability or breath control.
Sounds EXACTLY like the recording 😮😢........time for you to lyp sync for your liffffeeeee
She is lip-syncing to the record here

And perfectly.
@@danadams4714and nevertheless it’s a great recording and her lip sync is flawless.
