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.
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.
I adore her (and this comes from a heavy metal guy). And her version of this song absolutely buries Celine, Air Supply, Jennifer, and anyone else that sang it.
My husband and I slow danced to her singing this song. He's passed now and it breaks my Heart each time I hear this. Absolutely Beautiful! So much emotion! And I was hisLady and he was my Man. 💔 💔 💔
I have listened to this song by Céline, Jennifer Bush but Laura's version makes me believe that she understood soul music, from the heart, she held nothing back in this song.❤❤❤
I was born August 28, 1980: just turned 43. I have heard so many versions of this song: Andre Bocceli and Sarah Brightman, Russel Watson and Sarah Brightman, Marcelito Pomoy, etc....This version is such a powerful ballad epitomizing the sound of the '80s, when I was made.... Thank you!
No echo chamber, no audio manipulation, just one woman with a POWERFULL VOICE! Wow, Laura you hit this out of the park decades ago. This will stand forever as the best version of the "Power of Love." RIP you beautiful soul!!!
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.
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 one is recently uploaded one. She sang almost exactly like album version and I guess it was not lip-sync one. ua-cam.com/video/old2EgKw-SE/v-deo.html
With respect to Celine, Laura absolutely crushed this. This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. I listen to it about once a year and it never lets me down. She was taken from us way too young. One of the absolute most underrated vocalist of all time in my opinion. RIP Laura
It just boggles my mind how Celine’s version was a bigger hit, just like her version of If You Ask Me To paled to Patti LaBelle’s but was a bigger hit also.
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.
talk about CRUSHING it.. this is the POWER of Laura Brannigan live..I can't help practically shouting Jes Us Kristi, every time I hear this version and I almost start crying 'cause I am overcome with the beauty of her emotion when she hits those high notes with such precision.. simply the best version ever ..RIP Laura..miss you so much !!
What a voice. Please induct her into the music hall of. Fame. Unique voice. Powerful range. When she sings you can tell she feels the music. Love you. Laura Brannigan.
It gives me goosebumps hearing Laura sing this song. Laura's version of the Power of Love will always, and forever, be the best version of this song! RIP Laura, we all miss you! :(
@@tabbsjennings6884 there are some elements, or techniques, which Laura applied not on Celine's, like the vocal break + growl in "ready to love" & throughout the latter part of the song, well...
been listened to it.remeber when it was released. Not a patch on Laura's version y a LONG shot, even if she did write it! Many people do not prefer the originals. Take Whitney Houston's version of I Will Zlways Love You. In my opinion she ruined it with her marbles, but for many they consider it the definitive version. I believe even Dolly Parton likes it.
With the power of internet, we can easily still come to know those who who have departed. It is truly a miracle. If we live on in the memories of the people we leave behind, then the internet has gifted us immortality, at last.
@@ariella4444 I feel that we are only given a glimpse of what is possible in this world 🌎 through music and through our experiences lives and friendships. The best is yet to come.

Wow ! Just wow. I've never heard her perform this song before , this is incredible. Oh sweet Laura, you are missed. Thanks for leaving us with your beautiful voice. ❤

Im michael in colorado. I saw her perform this in person at one of her concerts and its the most beautiful song ive ever heard from any female singer. Its her legacy and gloria is second to none
@Keith Grout Absolutely. That grit and rasp in her voice is the passion that Laura adds to the song -- almost a ferocity at times. It's exactly what the lyrics needed.
@Keith Grout Love Amy Lee and I will look up this Irish singer so thanks for that. There's no doubt Laura left us too early. A different style but love her voice for its depth and texture was Karen Carpenter -- also taken from us way too early. Cheers. Hope you are well.
Oh yes , that raspie voice so sensual. I must tell you all these years after her death I still grieve. Such a beautiful women . I’ve seen her in interviews I want to hug her .concerts with that earth shattering voice . A true artist/performer ……. I guess I love her …. It’s the power of love!
2022! And I still can’t get enough of her version of this song! Power beyond ANYONE EVER! Especially at the end where she just BELTS THOSE OUT bringing her knees to her chest!!!!! I miss her RIP our Laura. 😢
The best and the greatest version of the power of love. I keep playing this song without getting tired of it. Very sentimental song that keeps me reminding of my past girlfriends😂😅Love you Laura. RIP.
My grandmother turned 97, she met my grandfather when she was 17. Since my grandfather died 15 years ago she spends all day watching TV, she doesn't enjoy anything and every night before going to sleep she writes a message for my grandfather in a small notebook.
I love this version of the song. The raw power of her voice, the overwhelming emotion, it brings tears to my eyes and yes, I know that power of love. I wish everybody could experience it, it's a life-changer.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I couldn't agree more with so many who have commented. Laura's performance epic! I had never heard her sing this until just a few months ago it came on UA-cam while I was driving. I had tears down my face. I couldn't help it.
Because only Laura Branigan sang this not just with powerful voice, but also you can feel the song coming from her heart, Laura brought the true meaning of the song, and no one else
Laura la canta espectacular , Celine también , pero la tristeza interior como la canta Jennifer la hace inalcanzable y por ser la cantante original , no solo por la canción , el vídeo es INMORTAL.
@@robertbyington7715 It's very obviously lip synced, it's the version recorded on the album. A real live version is here though: ua-cam.com/video/ypWWYHPd43Y/v-deo.html
No shitty auto tune today’s singers many of them couldn’t do these hits on notes she really was so passionate about her music we don’t have that in our music today it’s very blazah
@ho ber you can't compare laura to Jennifer rush, Laura had a very powerful strong voice Jennifer rush didn't give that impression from my perspective.
Still the most superior version of this song ever. This gal still gets played in my iTunes in 2020 - I have all her albums and will always say she was underappreciated - she deserved to be known like Mariah and Whitney and Barbra.
@@ralfburon6179 Yeah,no hate on Laura(RIP),but Jennifer Rush sung it with passion and soul.You could feel the emotions in her voice.The original and the best.
Oh,! 👍👍👍👍👍 sinceramente ésta es mi versión favorita y realmente es la mejor😍☺️👍 y cuando la escucho se me eriza el cuerpo, por lo potencial de su voz y la forma como la interpreta.(Laura, nunca te olvidaremos, y por siempre vivirás en nuestros corazones. Gracias😊💟 por dejarnos éstas hermosas canciones. Saludos desde Venezuela.
Mucho poder y drama en su voz, extraordinaria y la escuche con las otras voces ,Jennifer y Celine y no tienen el poder de esta, me encanta Laura , me encanta esta mujer
@@roxanaa.5794 Veo que tienes buen gusto linda , a mi lo que me gusta es él dramatismo y pasión cuando interpreta , eso conmueve mucho y lo vives, Gracias Laura Branigan con una poderosa voz de cuatro octavas
Simplemente, la mejor intérprete de todos los tiempos de esta canción. Aunque podrán haber cantado otras con un tono casi a su nivel, pero nunca podrían acercarse a la pasión con la que cantaba. Honestamente, estoy seguro de que ninguna la podrá superar. No me equivoqué cuando la consideré mi primer amor platónico, tanto en ranking como en tiempo, incluso antes de escuchar esta canción, sino con Gloria. Pasarán los años y este video llegará a más de 100 M de visualizaciones con todos los que siempre la amamos y no la cansamos de escuchar y verla, aunque pasen los años. Es la segunda vez que veo que un video tenga comentarios en los 7 idiomas más hablados en el mundo entero. Eso sólo lo pudo hacer nuestra querida Laura Ann Branigan, QEPD.
I absolutely loved her ... I wore out that 1995 cd, I still play her music, esp. this one. Her husband would've been ill by this time, passing in 96'. This song had to have held quite a depth in meaning to her. That shot of them; her kissing the side of his face, is truly beautiful. She passed in 2004, just 9 years later. What a sad loss ... she was a gift. Superior vocals. I wished she had finished that next album she had begun working on ... it was not to be. RIP to them both.
No importa si son latinos,europeos, africanos, negros, blancos,mulatos... pero estos fueron las estrellas que iluminaron al mundo entero en los inolvidables años 80s Desde Colombia Muchas Gracias
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.❤❤❤
No, you're not the only one. I'm still teary eyed several minutes after listening to her version of the song, while reading through some of the comments.
I will soon be 79 and have listened to many bands,artists . Laura's rendition of the power of love makes me feel the emotions of one person pouring out their soul to one that has taken possession of their heart and saying yes to one of the most powerful feelings that we as humans will ever know.
@@Mr.BusDriver Branigan died in her sleep at her lodge in East Quogue, New York, on August 26, 2004.[27] The cause was attributed to a previously-undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm. It was reported in the media that she had been experiencing headaches for several weeks before her death, but did not seek medical attention.[Wikipedia
Branigan's husband (m. 1978), was diagnosed with colon cancer. Branigan refused to accept the medical prognosis, and left the music industry to devote her attention to him. Branigan put Kruteck on herbal treatments, eventually nursing him full time. Kruteck survived for another two and a half years and died on June 15, 1996 in New York. Wikipedia.
One of the best singers with unique voice that the Lord brought to this world to show us the true meaning of music.The world will surely miss this awesome woman forever.
This performance is far better than the entire clown show known as music industry today! She doesn't need to expose her body and shake it to earn popularity and respect! She has done it with the main talent a singer has to have which is her voice! One of the greatest songs I have ever heard! Rest in peace, Laura!
Rest in Peace indeed. However, there is a more powerful voice, one that is unmatched, her name: Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish. Fans who know her, call the ending of her songs, a Floorgasm. Anyway, no other singer can compete with Floor. Laura was great, but Floor has her, and everyone else, beat.
You know, you can complement one artist without tearing down others. Female artists can wear whatever they want and If they want to shake their a$$ along with it then so what.
She had a great voice . She died in her sleep at her lodge in East Quogue, New York, on August 26, 2004. The cause was attributed to a previously undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm. a great singer , i will never forget........ rip.
its hard to believe all these years has passed and i still listen to this remarkable hit from all the artist who sing this song i love laura branigan version more than the others. what can i say you cannot touch the 80s music.
Sin duda la mejor versión de "The Power Of Love", Laura Branigan tremenda intérprete y una de las mejores voces de todos los tiempos!!! I love branigan ❤
Try listening to opera. Mozart Magic Flute is a good one to start with. Listen to the Queen of the Night Aria. Could Laura have been an opera singer with training? I don’t know.
Emotion 😍moves the universe!!! law of attraction. 😇the Gospel of Thomas.😇 get the feeling. get the emotion . imagine. let it completely go. forget about it. like a juersy guy. 🐸FORGET ABOUT IT🐸 do Pilates while you project. duh da vibe😍😍😍
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.✝
40 years after, I come back to this performance every third month or so. Laura you really outdone yourself and everyone else!

Jennifer Rush does so much better

2022! And I still can’t get enough of her version of this song! Power beyond ANYONE EVER! Especially at the end where she just BELTS THOSE OUT bringing her knees to her chest!!!!! I miss her RIP our Laura. 😢
Hers is THE version of this song.
Catwalkpurz I agre with all of my heart. still cryes when I hear it . edited for spelling errors
Put her in the HOF already. I just came in my shorts!
The best and the greatest version of the power of love. I keep playing this song without getting tired of it. Very sentimental song that keeps me reminding of my past girlfriends😂😅Love you Laura. RIP.
This is THE Version
My grandmother turned 97, she met my grandfather when she was 17. Since my grandfather died 15 years ago she spends all day watching TV, she doesn't enjoy anything and every night before going to sleep she writes a message for my grandfather in a small notebook.
My dad is 81 he was only with Barbara 3 years but they were kindred souls barbara died 3 years ago & my dad hasn't been the same
This is a wonderful song. Many versions are really outstanding, but to my personal opinion no one has done better than Laura Branigan.
I love this version of the song. The raw power of her voice, the overwhelming emotion, it brings tears to my eyes and yes, I know that power of love. I wish everybody could experience it, it's a life-changer.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..
I couldn't agree more with so many who have commented. Laura's performance epic! I had never heard her sing this until just a few months ago it came on UA-cam while I was driving. I had tears down my face. I couldn't help it.
fabulous singer
Because only Laura Branigan sang this not just with powerful voice, but also you can feel the song coming from her heart, Laura brought the true meaning of the song, and no one else
Laura la canta espectacular , Celine también , pero la tristeza interior como la canta Jennifer la hace inalcanzable y por ser la cantante original , no solo por la canción , el vídeo es INMORTAL.
Никто и никогда ,эту версию " Сила любви " !Так и не смог перепеть! Лаура, сладких вечных снов!
Дженифер Раш
Lauras voice was so powerful and emotional.Gone but not forgotten.
Perfeto...
Beautiful voice
Suaranya seksi. Serak serak basah
No backing tracks no dubbing or lip syncing just a God given powerful voice
This is the version recorded on his album. Here she does not really sing.
It's lip synced. Notice the ending.
@@dennydeckerful
Sorry it’s not lip syncing don’t know what your seeing; you couldn’t move and hold notes like that if your lip syncing.
@@robertbyington7715 It's obvious, but believe what you want.
@@robertbyington7715 It's very obviously lip synced, it's the version recorded on the album. A real live version is here though: ua-cam.com/video/ypWWYHPd43Y/v-deo.html
100% - Real
100% - Legendary
0% - Auto-Tune
One of the best vocalists of all time, gone too soon. Rest in peace. 🙏
@ho ber - I heard the original way back when. This version though is my favorite.
100% Laura Branigan
No shitty auto tune today’s singers many of them couldn’t do these hits on notes she really was so passionate about her music we don’t have that in our music today it’s very blazah
Yes 😭

I've listened to the CD and JR versions countless times, but nothing can beat the raw and saddest emotion of Laura's version.😢
Voices that give you goosebumps….. they are the best, and she’s one of them!
@ho ber never heard of her
@ho ber nobody cares
@ho ber you can't compare laura to Jennifer rush, Laura had a very powerful strong voice Jennifer rush didn't give that impression from my perspective.
@@dgillian183 this versions is 10x better trust me.
@@tryphenatomlinson3730 I will check it out 😊
It's not just her voice but her passion too
Linda demais,infelizmente a Laura nos deixou em agosto de 2004
Still the most superior version of this song ever. This gal still gets played in my iTunes in 2020 - I have all her albums and will always say she was underappreciated - she deserved to be known like Mariah and Whitney and Barbra.
She is good, but no one made it better than Jennifer Rush with the original version.
@@ralfburon6179 Yeah,no hate on Laura(RIP),but Jennifer Rush sung it with passion and soul.You could feel the emotions in her voice.The original and the best.
after hearing this have to agree All i remember her for was a few pop songs didn't realise She had this much natural vocal talent yeah Love it

Mucho poder y drama en su voz, extraordinaria y la escuche con las otras voces ,Jennifer y Celine y no tienen el poder de esta, me encanta Laura , me encanta esta mujer
Una interpretación realmente excepcional.
@@roxanaa.5794 Veo que tienes buen gusto linda , a mi lo que me gusta es él dramatismo y pasión cuando interpreta , eso conmueve mucho y lo vives, Gracias Laura Branigan con una poderosa voz de cuatro octavas
My favorite version of this beautiful song. I miss Laura Brannigan - she was phenomenal.
هل ماتت
She is the only "diva" on the planet that I will never ever forget in my heart...
Simplemente, la mejor intérprete de todos los tiempos de esta canción. Aunque podrán haber cantado otras con un tono casi a su nivel, pero nunca podrían acercarse a la pasión con la que cantaba. Honestamente, estoy seguro de que ninguna la podrá superar.
No me equivoqué cuando la consideré mi primer amor platónico, tanto en ranking como en tiempo, incluso antes de escuchar esta canción, sino con Gloria.
Pasarán los años y este video llegará a más de 100 M de visualizaciones con todos los que siempre la amamos y no la cansamos de escuchar y verla, aunque pasen los años.
Es la segunda vez que veo que un video tenga comentarios en los 7 idiomas más hablados en el mundo entero. Eso sólo lo pudo hacer nuestra querida Laura Ann Branigan, QEPD.
Her heart and soul were present.. she is not just singing but also story telling at the same time. RIP Laura
D best version
Truth !!!
I absolutely loved her ... I wore out that 1995 cd, I still play her music, esp. this one. Her husband would've been ill by this time, passing in 96'. This song had to have held quite a depth in meaning to her. That shot of them; her kissing the side of his face, is truly beautiful. She passed in 2004, just 9 years later. What a sad loss ... she was a gift. Superior vocals. I wished she had finished that next album she had begun working on ... it was not to be. RIP to them both.
Great female singer of all time

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.❤❤❤
Exactly !
Am I the only one that tears up when I hear Laura singing this🥺
No, you're not the only one. I'm still teary eyed several minutes after listening to her version of the song, while reading through some of the comments.
Me too
Me too😢😢😢😢😢
You're not the only one, I tell you that
nah brah

I will soon be 79 and have listened to many bands,artists . Laura's rendition of the power of love makes me feel the emotions of one person pouring out their soul to one that has taken possession of their heart and saying yes to one of the most powerful feelings that we as humans will ever know.
한국에서도 듣고 있어요.
She was a great one! Died in her sleep too young, but her music lives forever!
Jude Whedon how did laura died?
@@Mr.BusDriver Branigan died in her sleep at her lodge in East Quogue, New York, on August 26, 2004.[27] The cause was attributed to a previously-undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm. It was reported in the media that she had been experiencing headaches for several weeks before her death, but did not seek medical attention.[Wikipedia
Branigan's husband (m. 1978), was diagnosed with colon cancer. Branigan refused to accept the medical prognosis, and left the music industry to devote her attention to him. Branigan put Kruteck on herbal treatments, eventually nursing him full time. Kruteck survived for another two and a half years and died on June 15, 1996 in New York. Wikipedia.
how sad ti know that
like forver young by laura branigan
One of the best singers with unique voice that the Lord brought to this world to show us the true meaning of music.The world will surely miss this awesome woman forever.
The power in her voice is unbelievable... Loved her, gone way to soon..

This performance is far better than the entire clown show known as music industry today! She doesn't need to expose her body and shake it to earn popularity and respect! She has done it with the main talent a singer has to have which is her voice! One of the greatest songs I have ever heard! Rest in peace, Laura!
Written and performed by Jennifer Rush...
Rest in Peace indeed. However, there is a more powerful voice, one that is unmatched, her name: Floor Jansen, lead singer of Nightwish. Fans who know her, call the ending of her songs, a Floorgasm. Anyway, no other singer can compete with Floor. Laura was great, but Floor has her, and everyone else, beat.
абсолютно верно!
You know, you can complement one artist without tearing down others. Female artists can wear whatever they want and If they want to shake their a$$ along with it then so what.
She had a great voice . She died in her sleep at her lodge in East Quogue, New York, on August 26, 2004. The cause was attributed to a previously undiagnosed ventricular brain aneurysm. a great singer , i will never forget........ rip.

Shit,didnt know that. Was lazy to google where the heck was she.
Thanks for posting
@@ilovegrimes951wth! same here I had no idea she had died till today 4/9/2020😞 I guess I do live under a rock.
WHILE ASLEEP OR UNDER ANESTHESIA, IS "MY TIME"
Everyone have skills in this life but I admire the singers, they are incredible theirs voices always will live in ours hearts.
Lahat ng kumanta ng POWER OF LOVE
walang makakatibag kay laura .
Dabest .kuhang kuha talaga ung meaning ng power of love..😢😢😊
Her voice gives me chills. Wow, what a voice and delivery.l
OMG what a powerful performance. Cant help keep coming back for more.
Truly one of the finest vocalists of all time!
Gets under your skin...unforgettable Laura Branigan. Their music will be heard on radios around the world for a long time to come.
No autotune. Pure talent. Miss you, Laura!
She was actually miming, this was not live. Love her singing though.
Never knew Laura sang this! Wow! Best version EVER. Unbelievable vocals! RIP sweet lady :(
The original version is the Jennifer Rush one
Nope. Celiene did it the best. She struggled with this
Google who wrote the song The Power of the the power of the love
@Mr Lex compare to voice of celine and voice of laura and jennifer rush,for me laura is the best voice,
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.
its hard to believe all these years has passed and i still listen to this remarkable hit from all the artist who sing this song i love laura branigan version more than the others. what can i say you cannot touch the 80s music.
Magistral, espléndida, liberando el potencial vocal en esta canción, además de hermosa, te fuiste pero sigues aquí evocando con tu voz toda una época.
Love this song ! I come here again and again when I am in a bad and good spirit and it is never enough.
RIP dear angel !
Class, talent and beauty ..what is there not to miss. take me back to the amazing 80s...
Wow...just wow...This is an amazing performance. Laura's talent is so raw!
Sin duda la mejor versión de "The Power Of Love", Laura Branigan tremenda intérprete y una de las mejores voces de todos los tiempos!!! I love branigan ❤
Plenty of doubt.
Hola gabri
Sin duda la mejor versión
@@Theemo2.0 This is the song she chose and it sucks ass!
Creo que la original de Jennifer Rush sigue siendo la mejor pero Laura es increible tambien!
The most powerful female voice I have ever heard. Unbelievable how she could hit the octaves. Gone much too soon. R.I.P. Laura. Never forgotten.
Try listening to opera. Mozart Magic Flute is a good one to start with. Listen to the Queen of the Night Aria. Could Laura have been an opera singer with training? I don’t know.
Her voice is really weak compared to Jennifer Rush
@@paulscott7186 Stop it. Jennifer Rush doesn't hit the Octaves like Laura.
February 2021, still listening & loving her powerful voice & songs. Anyone else? RIP Laura 🙏
Forever in our heart, beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
Greetings Cdmx
I'm always listening to her album's she's so amazing!
still listening,she os one of my favorite singer pf all time..lobe her songs
Simplesmente fantástica!!! A melhor interpretação que já ouvi dessa linda música!!!
NO ONE COULD EVER SING THIS....LIKE LAURA DID....OUTSTANDING...FOREVER!
Ooh ooh ooh YEA
That is a great assessment but Miz Laura Branigan shifted me emotionally😂😍😂
& EVER😂😂😂
Emotion 😍moves the universe!!! law of attraction. 😇the Gospel of Thomas.😇 get the feeling. get the emotion . imagine. let it completely go. forget about it. like a juersy guy. 🐸FORGET ABOUT IT🐸 do Pilates while you project. duh da vibe😍😍😍
Great cover but IMHO nothing beats the original by Jennifer Rush!
OMG ! That gave me goosebumps & I'm crying now, talk about moving. That was an incredible performance.
Laura has the best version of this song !! Makes me cry every time ..the emotion is lifting up the world power
Laura’s version was much much better than the rest! What a beautiful unique voice, miss her!
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.✝
@ho ber So do I
I think this is the version where she poured all her feelings in to the song. Outstanding performance
Awesome rendition of this great song.
Amen
She is a Fantastic vocal Queen ... she killed this in my opinion #crushed it. No one can touch her she hit every note with perfection
This is by far the best performance of this song.
Absolutely!
I agree I love this more than Celine’s version
