It seems impossible that one person could have that much charisma. David Bowie is like the alien god of our dreams. We were indescribably lucky to get to share the planet with him.
Imagine Bowie at your feet, singing to you on his knees, looking up into your eyes and not having your heart come to a full stop. Cher is lucky to have survived this.
I feel the SAME right now. I mean what's that? Why I never saw it? It gives off such a strange vibe, but I love it so much. And I would kill for those shoes Bowie wearing
You could put David Bowie back in the 1920's and 30's and he'd be right up there with the crooners of the day. Put him in the 40's, 50's also and he'd fit right in. He was timeless....
SORRY! A hell of a lot of Bowie's stuff Doesn't stand-up! Some classics But a ton of dreck crap! And Cher can't sing a note! Never COULD! And this is an abomination!!! Utter Sellout! This belongs on american idol! REALLY Sad!!!!
I really love how special Young Americans always sounded live. Whether it was intentional or not, whenever David would go off script during this song I would always love it. When he asks "Happy?" at 5:10 and then says "aw you're no fun", I really think it just shows how much of a light he could have been to others around him. I miss that light a lot.

@Huawei is a criminal organization. I just meant in terms of Bowie's career is all, and I don't think Bowie ever collaborated with The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, .. . though he did cover some Springsteen songs and work with Roger Waters (of Floyd) a little decades later.
@@BreockJamesHeale Well how come before my nieces were born i knew their personalities. y sister thought her Cancerian daughter would be a girly girl but i knew that sign are usually tomboys.

@@eifionphillips3004 If that story is even true then it would be absolutely nothing other than a lucky guess. There are a huge range of environmental and genetic factors which contribute to the formation of someone's personality. Psychologists have done plenty of research into this.

@@ianfindly3257 Agree. Last thing you want to happen is have Bowie & Cher take their act to Las Vegas, and perform for all those grandmas from Iowa, wandering over from the slot machines in the casino
+caylen dana It makes sense. He may not be with us anymore, but his pictures and videos and voice is, and they're dreamy as hell, thus David IS still dreamy (and not "was")
I didn't know how much I liked David Bowie until I found out he passed.. I can't believe he is gone.. he was so cool, ever changing and staying relevant all these years, very fearless artist and great sexy voice
Love Bowie's hair color and dance moves in this clip (and of course vocals) - what a gifted individual he was and loved how he absolutely made being different soooo cool.
I remember seeing this when it aired, and I was kind of in disbelief, because it was a big step away from what he'd been doing only a few years before. Now, when I see it again, it is just a strange and a very unique performance from David Bowie. That is why it is really kind of important to watch now, because it shows a side of David Bowie we never saw otherwise, in his long career.
+Music For The People Ya know, seeing THIS makes me say one thing out loud - Thank GOD Brian Eno and Iggy Pop came along when THEY did!!!!!!!! Proof that even in the 70's Bowie had his sell out moments!
Whoa! What fun! Bowie at his hottest. They are having a blast together. Kinda kitschy, kinda shameless, kinda great. And they feed off of each other's silly, fun cheorgraphy. And that wig! Yikes! It made me smile, and even laugh. Encore!
Cocaine has ruined many a precious life...but DAMN, it has also left us with some sublime art and entertainment. David Bowie at the height of his Thin White Duke period doing a `70's pop medley worthy of an Atlantic City casino with Cher in an orange pyramid wig, and it's SMASHING.
I remember this like it was yesterday, so incredible and surreal...so excited that he was on an American television show, and so appropriate that it was Cher's...
Cher's voice was so fluid n under control it's crazy! never realized how strong it is till hear it in perfect harmonizer with Bowie's infinite sweetness tone. it's like they were completing each other! and they look very elegant and proud here, also like having sm fun. how cute.
This is a fantastic performance- The band- back up singers - perfect tempo-Bowie and Cher’s dancing and singing total pros ....... Especially like Bowie’s Elvis moves on Youngblood. A+
i’m so glad youtube recommended this to me! i feel like nowadays artists are more worried about their stage presentation and appeal to the audience that they forget that sometimes all you need is just a band and a stage. These two were clearly having so much genuine fun and feeding off each other’s energy!
I probably watched this when it aired in 75, laying on the carpet in my pj's infront of the console TV. My mom loved to watch the Sonny and Cher show and then the Cher show. How could I appreciate it then? Nowhere near how I appreciate it now. What two giant talents! What pinnacles they both reached. Our lifetimes have been better for for it. This is a real treat to watch again.

Has there ever been somebody with as much effortless cool and charisma as Bowie? Cher is also up there on high too!
a woowoo friend of mine has this big Bowie story about reincarnation and him being a leader a long time ago, and how many of his fans lived under him.
Only David Bowie could go head to head with Cher and match her, they made a great duet
THAT would've made a great full length or regular show!
Match? He's much better
