She was poorly managed. She should have been a megastar. People in the states don't know her outside of Breaking Glass. Her voice is one of a kind, beautiful!
Dougie Smith you bet saw her Fleetwood doing blues versions of songs with the two girls brilliant little did I know her mum had just died two day before came down after talking and signing CD s sad thing is only 80 there
The golden age of British female singers, Hazel O'Connor, Toyah & Kate Bush. I know Hazel has got older but I really miss the attack and desperation of the original version from Breaking Glass.
Mark Reynolds i think she first started singing this in 78 or 79. The film Breaking Glass made her famous and that was 81 i think. This song and Will You was featured on the soundtrack
simon jonassen. Walt Jabsco, Hazel's voice has matured. Some of Hazel's songs are all the more beautiful for it. At first I wasn't sure when compared to her Breaking Glass days, but the way she sang in that film was pure character acting after all which is sometimes easy to forget due to how well she performed in the film.
Forgot to say, and yes you can slap me for it, she still has it. One of the very few women I would convert for, though she has a bit of competition at 3:02 where the one in red is concerned. :-)

she's still got it
Can't be the 80's, I was at college in the late 70's listening to this in the pub in Tunbridge!
Mark Reynolds i think she first started singing this in 78 or 79. The film Breaking Glass made her famous and that was 81 i think. This song and Will You was featured on the soundtrack
Will you was released 1980 so that before could just be 79
It came out in 1980 so very early 80s
go on Hazel,remember the days
get well soon Hazel gutted to hear how u are so poorly! get well soon love!!
get well soon Hazel
Thank you for this and sad the audience don't get the message such is their narcissism.
She's probably the no.1 cause of cyber-phobia. This song certainly spooked me in the 80's.
This song was way before it’s time and so apt into days world humans have fucked it all up which Hazel predicts here
She was far too ahead of the times! Like all of us, she has aged! Sad so many of the kids here don't seem to get message!
She would be excellent in a Poison Girls tribute band!! Vi Subversa. :-)
Luvly jubbly 😁
nigel woodwards brothers bird when we was at woodllands!!
Saw her live on Saturday in Southampton! Pity the public are so dirty though- bottles on the floor everywhere even though there are bins available!
Hazel is great.
Nice recording,shame someone next to you seemed to want to talk through most of the performance.
She reminds me of a female John Rotten in a good way 🙂
sheesh...
she must be close to 65+....
but man does she still portray that song as she did in 1980 !
Not quite. Her voice has gone.

With age her voice is a faded croaking sound that no longer reminds us of her past success.
romakayak absolute rubbish voice better than ever
Are you really the only one that noticed mate ?
Not Hazel's fault,but still the voice has depleted with age.
No comment???
Piled on the pounds
AI envisioned in the 80s

Poor cows trying her best, good luck to her.
A SONG SO FAR AHEAD OF ITS TIME - AND WELL BEFORE THE FIRST "TERMINATOR" MOVIE CAME OUT!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The EIGHTH DAY Lyrics: - - -
In the BEGINNING was the word, man said:
Let there be more light
Electric scenes and laser beams, neon brights the light abhorring nights
On the SECOND day he said: Let's have a gas
Hydrogen and cholera and pest
Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms
Man will NEVER be suppressed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he said: Behold what I have done
I've made a better world for everyone
Nobody laugh, nobody cry
World without end, forever and ever
Amen, amen, amen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the THIRD we get green and blue for pie
On the FOURTH we send rockets to the sky
On the FIFTH make the beasts and submarines
On the SIXTH man prepares his final dream:
In our image, let's make ROBOTS for our slaves
Imagine all the time that we can save
Computers, machines, the silicon dream
SEVENTH he retired from the scene
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And he said: Behold what I have done
I've made a better world for everyone
Nobody laugh, nobody cry
World without end, forever and ever
Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the EIGHTH DAY machine just got upset
A PROBLEM man had never seen as yet
No time for flight, a blinding light
And nothing but a void, FOREVER NIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He said: Behold what man has done
There's NOT a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
World's at an END, everyone has DIED
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He said: Behold what man has done
There's NOT a world for anyone
Nobody laughed, nobody cried
World's at an END, everyone has DIED
Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)

Lots of mistakes in here, eg, it’s surpassed, not suppressed.
Lots of others.
Great effort by Hazel, shame the audience have morphed into such cliches; nice England football shirts and Slash hats...
Croaky but puts the song over brilliant
szánalmas
Illuminati confirmed.
On the tit!
I'm not knocking hazel but it's time you retired luv she's just crucified one of the best songs of all time
It's her song ...... she can do what she wants with it
@@LULABEK1 well said. 👍
Nah. 🤪
Well it was a weird version and the band sounded pretty light to me
Now looks like my granny ( and sounds like her )
who ate all the pies??????
Ironic, but I doubt anyone cares.
Difficult to listen to
Time to retire
So piggy
