PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY OTHER VIDEOS ON MY CHANNELS!
Here Laura sings her great song "Imagination" in Akron, Ohio (US).
This is the first song in the concert (a total of 13 songs!)
This audio was given to me by a kind YT user called 'Wilhub' ( / wilhub ) thanks!
{SONG 1 OF 13}
LYRICS:
Imagination
(Michael Boddicker/Jerry Hey/Phil Ramone/Michael Sembello)
He says that he can read my mind
The power to turn iron into gold
She says she's seen the other side
And knows the place the fire burns all night
There is an answer to that question
So long ago down below
It's a hard real life, every day
Once you have it, it never goes away
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination
Your magic of the secret door
I can take you down and show you more
It's easy, once you know the way
It's farther than the closest thing you are
You've got to walk right through that fire
It will not burn you
And the once you may love
Only life won't make it or just burn away
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination
You've got to walk right through that fire
It will not burn you
And the once you may love
Only life won't make it or just burn away
Imagination
Imagination
See the pictures in your mind
Let your body move along in time
Imagination

As a Freddie Mercury fan of over 3 decades, to my ears, in terms as a powerful, versatile, inventive vocalist with a vast range and extensive vocal modulations, Laura Branigan is the female equivalent of Freddie Mercury. All the vocal tricks Freddie did, she did them too just as well. It took a long while, I finally found Freddie's female vocal match.

[@kbittner]

Wow - what a performance of this song! She sounds amazing here, even better than the single!

[@AdvantageYT]

SURE IS. EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN THE RECORDING ONE

[@mjmcclara]

The lowest note I have ever heard from Laura is at 3:01. She has wonderful control and she brings it every time she sings. Laura, Ella Fitzgerald, and Mahalia Jackson bring the low notes.
