You have to remember this song was originally made in the 80's when Heaven 17 were alot younger and it was SENSATIONAL, so don't ever say it would be better without''that man''...
That would be Carol Kenyon, and yes she DOES have a tremendous voice. I will say that La Roux has given it a valient effort and actually complements Heaven 17 VERY well. But Carol's voice is simply stunning and made this song what it is.
Can't leave out Kelly - amazing vocals. This is another take. Her voice simply doesn't have the richness or power to carry it off. The backing vocalists sound more capable.
@@Macrogue65 Only really familiar with Carol. I wasn't an overly big fan of Heaven 17, but Temptation was my favorite from them. BTW, bit of history. Did you know how Heaven 17 got their name?
@@wilfredwilde9559 Her voice is softer, but I like the tone. Bulletproof is still my favorite from her, but In For The Kill is a close second. I like the more whimsical I'm Not Your Toy as well.
Much as I love the old...the fact that La Roux wanted to take on something from well before their birthday is outstanding, and Heaven 17 had a common vision. Upvote!
This video is full of comments slagging Elly off and the "In For The Kill" video from the same set is full of comments slagging Glenn off. Can't people just appreciate that two different artists are trying something a bit new? If you want to listen to the unadulterated original version, it's not hard to get hold of.
ShoeLube absolutely! if she actually at least sang it in tune ... it's more about her not actually being able to sing it in the way she's trying to, I don't mind what she's doing with the song, but then ... do it
30 años después el tema sigue intacto, bozarron de la chica hace la diferencia en este tema, escuchado en pleno 2019 casi a varias semanas del nuevo 2020 y este tema pone la piel de gallina.
i have been obsessed and addicted 2 la roux and 80's 4 a year now but id never heard of heazven 17 and la roxu til now and he is absolutely AMAZING 2!!! :)) x
Billie is better. Not only in intonation, also in the sheer strenght of vocal output. And, Billie has a much friendlier attitude. It is impossible not to love her.
Music maded from 2020 is just good, much musik maded in the 80ties is fantastic !!!!!!! I would not change my youth for no monney in the world !!! sooo manny great sons where maded in the 80ties !!!
GREAT SONG and brilliant performance from the whole crew ! the sound must be digital because it is so clear and good . Thanks for posting this !! never take it away please !
No she is not! Shes beautiful! And who gives you the right to judge her? She hasnt done anything to you. Shes perfect the way she is. Like MyBodina said shes putting emotion into the singing. Thank you. Have a good day.
I saw this when originally aired on freeview and watched it repeatedly for 16 hours and thought she did great. The "going for the kill" collaboration is particularly good.
Why's everyone here bashing Elly? She did a decent job considering the fact that the female vocals in the original version were heavier (Elly's voice is just not naturally that powerful) and more piercing and APPARENTLY sung by a woman with some sort of experience in soul music, as it sounds quite soulful. Elly was, in fact, the song's highlight and the spotlight. And besides, the note she hit in "believe" was the same as in the original. Ya'll are being biased, she was not that bad.
One of my favourite tunes of all time. Heaven 17's originals Martyn and Greg can still rock it after all these years, but La Roux definitely spoilt this one for me 😞
elly does it his way and his voice is so amazing in this song wuaoo: D she has a great voice, a free discussion that because she has a great voice and an end.! elly jackson the best: D

The singer is immortal
(perhaps ?!)
Bump!
Carol Kenyon is a much better singer and also Billie Godfrey.
God, she's awful
@@shiningbluenebula Most definitely, without a shadow of a doubt
I love how this song is a CONSTANT crescendo.

@@jukingeo most people know its the name of the fictional band in Burgesses 'A Clockwork Orange'.
I like La Roux but she hasn’t got a strong voice .Much better on her own .
@@wilfredwilde9559 Her voice is softer, but I like the tone. Bulletproof is still my favorite from her, but In For The Kill is a close second. I like the more whimsical I'm Not Your Toy as well.
Such a committed performance from La Roux and Heaven 17 still sounding good.
She's got a very weak voice. Billie Godfrey blows her out the water. La Roux is so lightweight. Spoils the song
@@teeninthe80s75 --- Yeah committed by she's not got a great voice.
I agree with you saying 'a committed performance from La Roux', but she's just not up to such a very demanding task
The perfection of "temptation" 30 years later ...
Cradle of Filth perfected this song in 2006!
40 years.
i absolutly Love this song ,the perfomance and elly
Everything about this is perfect. And those backing singers!
Amazing vocals, lyrics, musicians. Loved Heaven 17 since the 80s
that man is part of the reason why the song was such a great success
She's GREAT. Period.
So is William Hung.
Heaven 17, WOW! The Genius of the 80´s!
I just can´t get enough of this tune! God bless you for uploading!
Much as I love the old...the fact that La Roux wanted to take on something from well before their birthday is outstanding, and Heaven 17 had a common vision. Upvote!
cant wait to see the boys in November, what a amazing version of this song, well done guys...
love this! where have i been for the past decade?? amazing!

Agreed!!
Well she doesn't have the voice, she sounds limited in her own songs. Doesn't have the vocal range.
Dang Elly's an amazing singer.
Hell yeah! Elly sounds fucking amazing!
La roux nailed it
Absolutely awesome stuff.
The girl did his best. It's impossible to match the original, outworldly female vocals. Glenn's performance is superb as usual, classy and powerful
Gabriel Rearte yeah
30 años después el tema sigue intacto, bozarron de la chica hace la diferencia en este tema, escuchado en pleno 2019 casi a varias semanas del nuevo 2020 y este tema pone la piel de gallina.
This one is pure magic ...
80's songs rule...
I remember this song in 1983....Carol Kenyon was the singer...and she was mighty fine
Carol had a huge voice.
i have been obsessed and addicted 2 la roux and 80's 4 a year now but id never heard of heazven 17 and la roxu til now and he is absolutely AMAZING 2!!! :)) x
my god, that's dam good.
Billie is better. Not only in intonation, also in the sheer strenght of vocal output. And, Billie has a much friendlier attitude. It is impossible not to love her.
Agreed. Is Billie doing back-up vocals in this one?
the perfect song............
Wow, what a note she hits as 1.13. No wonder the crowd respond!
This is EXTRAORDINARY! La Roux with heaven 17 = HEAVEN!
La Roux sounds WOW!
So lucky to have seen the live version of this
Their singing live Dopey..............................
Im from Sweden and next year im going to Germany. I want to hear it live. Its magic over this tone.
fantastica ... stupenda ... meravigliosa ... unica ... incredibile ... great !!!
Quite simply, the best ever music/singing of a generation. Fact.
Haha... nowhere near...
Wow have always loved this song absolutely stuning love it
Music maded from 2020 is just good, much musik maded in the 80ties is fantastic !!!!!!! I would not change my youth for no monney in the world !!! sooo manny great sons where maded in the 80ties !!!
GREAT SONG and brilliant performance from the whole crew ! the sound must be digital because it is so clear and good . Thanks for posting this !! never take it away please !
ogni volta che la risento mi emoziono ... pelle d'oca !!!!!
Glenn Gregory sounds AMAZING !
Always and forever.
Very cool track, still sounds great. La Roux surprised me, she hit that high note!
What a logical and also very original combination of inspirational elements!
MeganLovesMJ- I totally agree, you took the words right out of my mouth. I love Elly Jackson! She is awesome.. this song ROCKS MY SOCKS!!
I love her so much
Different vibe, still great!
this song timeless
Nailed it , very , very well done ! .
Her voice is nowhere near as powerful as the lady that originally recorded this tune with Heaven 17..
trainspotting babeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I love this.
Thank you! This was a home run x ❤
No she is not! Shes beautiful! And who gives you the right to judge her? She hasnt done anything to you. Shes perfect the way she is. Like MyBodina said shes putting emotion into the singing. Thank you. Have a good day.

My god! The chills!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
VERY BRAVE YOUNG LADY!!!!!!!
La Roux. THAT is a cool band name 😊
Love this version.
Brilliant!!!!
so hot this song and performance!!!
loved Heaven 17 in the 80's, just loved this rebirth of their music with La Roux. Just feel old when people ask who Greg is!
tough ask to sing Carol Kenyon's parts but she does a good job
A-mazing!
Why's everyone here bashing Elly? She did a decent job considering the fact that the female vocals in the original version were heavier (Elly's voice is just not naturally that powerful) and more piercing and APPARENTLY sung by a woman with some sort of experience in soul music, as it sounds quite soulful.

You said it... "decent"... that's all it was.
Wouaouhh ! Great !
wow that good musicians exelentes duet
GRANDI!
love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favourite tunes of all time. Heaven 17's originals Martyn and Greg can still rock it after all these years, but La Roux definitely spoilt this one for me 😞
elly does it his way and his voice is so amazing in this song wuaoo: D she has a great voice, a free discussion that because she has a great voice and an end.! elly jackson the best: D
un amor el tema!!! vamos !! LA ROUX!!!
There are galaxies between Billie Godfrey and La Roux!!!
Great!
Very Very good
brilliant
Awsome
she is amazing! if anyone knows of any new la roux songs let me know.
Madison Urias she sang on new orders last album
damn I still love this!
great!
@SyracuseLax09 La roux is the name of the band, that she is the lead singer,
perfect match
It rocks. And lord, she has hair like Cameron Diaz in "There''s Something About Mary" to the nth power.
exactly!
Genial
Killer !
stil as good song brill
@Mabbeld The "ear-piece" that most artists wear while singing is so they can hear their own voice
