'The Hunter' is a brilliant album... Love this song.. I don't understand at all why people say Debbie is a bad dancer... or why they even care about dancing!! She's a musician, not a professional dancer! she's not even a little bit fat or chubby here, either... wtf!
Well, in general, people's attitudes about her kinda suck. She's a stunning brilliantly talented phenom who is untouchable in every way. I think some people are threatened by such a woman and how dare they objectify her. She's the absolute most stunning artist and entertainer that ever lived (and lives).
i remember my dad back in the day was disgusted with the fare i enjoyed on MTV. so one day he tells me one day he happened to see such beautiful music on HBO the other evening. 'it was called blondie'. hahahhahahahahhaha!!!!!! really, dad - never heard of them. you liked it, you say? haha
I agree, I saw them in Boston Sep 2011, was awesome, god I love her , she sounds/looks great! The band was mega tight and had a blast with extended encore!
critics slaughter blondie during the hunter era, sales didn´t help the band... as a die hard fan of blondie, i have to say i really like the album, maybe the most quirky and experimental of their records, and this concert is an outstanding performace, debbie doesn´t look fat at all, she`s gorgeous here

Actually, Billboard gave it a spotlight review that was very favorable.
I don't think she is fat here, she just has a few extra pounds which don't affect her look at all, her body fits perfectly with her clothes on this concert (this and the purple one), and you can't say her face isn't perfect.
Love the song. My only problem with The Hunter is that Debbie's vocals sound muffled on most of the tracks. Maybe to give them a "jungle" vibe? And it's a shame the extra verse was cut from the final version, those lyrics are great.
I saw this concert and I remember that my cousin commented on Debbie's big hips, but I thought that she looked great. My cousin later turned out to be gay. Duran Duran opened for them and at the time I didn't know who they were. There were a lot of girls in the audience and they all seemed to be wearing mini skirts, which really distracted me from the music. At the time, my favorite song was Dragonfly, but Danceway was also among my favorites. The melody when she sings, "let's get in the car" really worked for me.
@@todd6851 Men are usually pretty accepting of how women look. However, I find that gay men are usually much more critical and this is even a stereotype of gay men being "catty".
@@wordsofcheresie936 Stereotypes are a dangerous thing. I am gay and the vast majority of the gay people I know are in no way "catty" or critical. It would be great if people could learn to stop stereotyping. If you find that gay men are much more critical you are tapping into a small subset of the gay population.
@@todd6851 I used to do musical theater and over half of the men were gay and flamboyantly gay. You can talk all day long about how stereotypes are not true, but spend just a few moments back stage in a musical and every stereotype will come to life in living color.
@@wordsofcheresie936 And what percentage of gay men are involved in musical theater? Two percent? Again, you are stereotyping gay people based upon your experiences with a small subset. Some might stereotype you as being gay for being involved in musical theater. Does that sound correct to you?
@jas22 Not if you saw her in 1977-78. She was just starting to put on the weight in '81-'82. Check out her Rapture vid by emiamericarecords here on youtube. Put Rapture in the search box and select the one by them. Also view her Call Me by emi music where she romps around on Coney Island beach. NOTE: emi music is different from emiamerica.
debbie can't dance?!? debbie set the trend for dance, back during the NEW WAVE!! the quirky, awkward movements are on purpose...that was the style....dah!
Best song on this album. Destri again. Should have been a single.
Jimmy composed great songs for Blondie, Atomic and Maria for example.
Any song that mentions the Brooklyn queens expressway is all right with me!
That's why I'm here. I heard that name mentioned, and I couldn't stop singing this song.
Deborah's live performance is always touching.

my fav song off The Hunter!! written by keyboardist Jimmy Destri
Yes he is very underrated, wrote Atomic and Maria.
The big difference between Debbie and other gorgeous women/artists is that she really could sing very well with a clear,sexy voice.
And happened to be the most gorgeous of all. 🙂
LMAO Her face when her shoe falls off gets me everytime!
he wrote many of their great hits!!!miss him.
Jimmy Destri
I still cant get enough of this! If they would only play this once more live :(

My fave vid ever!! Deborah dances her shoe off! :) Much Love x
So infectious performed up-tempo! Please play it again on your next tour!

Happy birthday Debbie !!
@msmdude68 yup have to agree, i saw them in Boston Sep 2011, was INCREDIBLE!!!!

@ShaylaScissorhands She's still beautiful, still love her.

2nd beat song on Hunter behind War Child
Love this song.
Jimmy’s are classics
Much better live

notice she wore the same shoes as she did in the original Heart of Glass video...the glass-like heels...
I did 12'instumentals before 12

What is the connection between your cousin thinking she has big hips and his being gay have to do with anything?

it DOES pre-date phil collins' solo work! :)
do u mind tellin me where u got the video? thnks
like Cows ice cream - yum
Patsy?? Sweetie Dahling!! :)
I think Jennifer Saunders is a Blondie/Debbie fan so I’ve always wondered if she maybe styled Patsy on Debbie??
debbie can't dance?!? debbie set the trend for dance, back during the NEW WAVE!! the quirky, awkward movements are on purpose...that was the style....dah!
What’s wrong with Clem in the beginning?
actually, thats what i liked about her. her "roboticness" was eerily attractive. lol.
Great live performance who else would not edit the shoe falling off not care and just carry on every thing is so scripted these days and so false
There was no emotion or any of that Blondie magic from any of the group in this performance.... they certainly weren't a band anymore.
The Hunter is by far their worst album during their first run, but it had a few gems, War Child, Danceway, Island Of Lost Souls, For Your Eyes Only.
