    One of the most beautiful, soulful love songs in the world. Unfortunately, she died far too early and far too young. Thank you for your great voice and your music. Rest in peace.

    1978, The first time I saw her, I was 32 years old and deployed in Germany. She was on German tv. All the duds went crazy, Laura Branigan, young and beautifull and an amazing voice.
    1985 juli 11th, remembered the day, it was our 15th wedding ann, me and my wife experienced her concert at the Six Flags Jackson, New Jersey . Wow, what a performance. She grew older but even more atractive to watch and still that powerful voice. Her skills on the piano and the rendition of The Power Of Love make my wife grab her tissues.
    1990, Atlantic City, I witnessed the best performance ever from Laura Branigan but without my wife, she passed away a year ago. With her emotional Power of Love on stage this time it was me searching for tissues.
    2004. RIP Laura Brannigan. Forget Madonna, Beyonce and all those other clods. You outcast them all with your talent.
    2020. I’m 74 yrs old now but still get my eyes wet watching your vids and remembering my wife.

      Actually, that information is wrong. They had to make a correction of her obituary because there were several things wrong with the facts. She was 52 when she died, not 47. She also is best described as having grown up in Armonk, New York, and not Brewster, as the AP's original obituary said.

    Céline, Jennifer and Laura all had incredibly strong versions of this song. What I love about Laura’s version is the slight raspiness to her voice and the immense emotion that she brings. There’s a slightly rockier feel to it, yet she nails every note with complete precision. Amazing.

    • @myothaw
      @myothaw 3 роки тому +76

      Laura started with Key G and shift to G# and taking all the souls of her fans with jaw dropping notes.
      Jennifer Rush's music video version was sang with Key A it was really good one I think, except her movement with the music was a little funny or she may shy with camera. Her six minutes album version was awesome and that's why "The Power Of Love" is the becoming the textbook of how to sing a song with heart and soul. And she is also the song writer and she is the boss. But album version was sang with Ab key.
      I don't really like Celine Dion version as I was already mesmerized by Laura and Jennifer and feel like Celine is so fake in this song.

      @ho ber This is not a competition of who sings better as most people feel the need to fixate on, but instead it is just recognizing a woman who has an amazing voice. I’m aware of the original version by Jennifer Rush as well as the cover done by Celine Dion which also was beautifully done. Maybe we should just appreciate talent.

    I have no answer as to why I'm just seeing/hearing this for the very first time but dear Lord, what a powerful song & performance! I've known of her other songs but can't ever recall this. She had one of the most talented and strongest voices, not just in the 80's but of all time. She was taken from us too soon in her young life. As said by others: Miss you Laura; R.I.P.✝

    Magistral, espléndida, liberando el potencial vocal en esta canción, además de hermosa, te fuiste pero sigues aquí evocando con tu voz toda una época.

    Amazing range in her voice. She sings with so much power and still she is playing with the notes. In my opinion a very underestimated singer.

    Celine Dion's performance is impeccable, Jennifer Rush's voice is beautiful, but this interpretation of Laura is out of category. She succeeds in elevating a sentimental song to a higher level. She moves our minds very deeply, in a way that we will never forget her. Thank you, Laura.❤❤❤

    I think this is the version where she poured all her feelings in to the song. Outstanding performance

    La piel no se me pone chinita... pero siento un GRAN NUDO en la garganta de emoción al escucharle cantar... para mi es una de las mejores versiones de ésta canción y respeto y admiro mucho otras... pero para mí... ésta me emocionó al máximo.
