Are you DEAF.....Belinda made a HORRILE decision making this song with whoever she is....the best thing she could have done is gotten Belinda high on some weed or coke
@@ms.felonystrutter2472 "Whoever she is"? just singer on the original version that was one of Belinda's favorite records as a kid.She has her sing on the remake with her, and gave her a boost.
I remembered watching solid gold as a young teen loved this show and I miss it lol and this performance with these two dynamic ladies rocked it old and new versions of the same song
I always appreciated Belinda's resilience to not dress like a whore. She was so gorgeous, yet in the 80s and 90s, she usually kept the clothes on in her videos and performances. Makes her all the more beautiful. She looks radiant.
Umm. Yeah. Right. "Look"? I think you mean "sound" but thats not true either. Freda jumped at the chance to appear on the re-make on BC's debut album. This is when BC was the hottest thing on earth. post go-go's baby fat, but before she died her hair red and wrecked her voice by taking lessons. What was she thinking? She was throwing a bone and giving a career boost to a one hit wonder and giving her more exposure than she'd had in 15 plus years. That's what she was "thinking".
Love them both, and this is one of my favorite songs. But why was Freda just a backup singer on her own great song?! Freda looks like she belongs on stage, Belinda looks like she belongs in the library!
I remember this video well. Remember being shocked thinking Freda actually looks better than Belinda. She had recorded that 20+ years earlier and was a lot older. That's what I most remember about this performance to this day.
Funny, everyone seems to be concerned about singer(s) outward appearance. Personally appreciate Belinda as an artist, know very little about Freda except for her one hit wonder.
@@davidlindsay9564 Yea, remembering so many years ago when I was an eighth grader in Jr. H.S. , her song went top 40 and, as I remember may even have made it into the top ten at the local AM station.
Um! Excuse me! Belinda should have done back up and let Frieda give the song the passion it deserved! But Belinda has to have all the attention on her when Frieda was the more talented one!
Don't be a twit. It was BC's single. I'd say pulling a one-hit wonder out of obscurity by remaking her tune, and asking her to sing on it with you when you are one of the biggest stars on the planet is pretty nice. When it gets picked as a single you insist that the sleeve have "featuring Freda Payne" as big as the title. and then when it becomes a hit in the UK you fly her over with you and when you perform it on TV, instead of being a diva and regulating her to just her part on the remake, and you pretty much take a backseat to let her shine,and sing lead, when its your record, and your career, and you graciously share that moment. I'd say that's the definition of "help". Ask Freda which she likes better. Here it is a duet, but o other performances on UK TV BC lets Freda shine and take the lead.
Yeah, Belinda Carlisle clearly had no friends. Because you wouldn't allow anybody you love to go out there and look that bad next to someone 20 years older.
I think she was being incredibly courteous by dressing down in an ill fitting suit personally. Just a guess but are you really convinced Freda Payne didn't insist on her dress for some reason or another so Belinda didn't even make the effort on purpose? Or maybe they were both just playing up the contrasts for laughs in the backstage dressing room after a few cheeky lines for all I know. But,, I mean,, this was her first video and solo single from that year 'Mad about You'. Just look at her. Seriously? It is a strange style clash however it came about though, you're right! :) ua-cam.com/video/XmdtJWmR9zQ/v-deo.html
First off it was the 80s. BC was the hottest thing in 1986. She dressed down and modest,Freda dressed up, so the age gap wouldn't be as obvious, so Freda would get more of spotlight.
@@lisamarielund6292 There's only so much room I guess. Madonna was huge, Whitney and Janet were coming on big, Benetar didn't fare as well as time went on either.
Freda Payne looks like a hot rocker chick, while Belinda is dressed like she is on her way to a church social on Easter. Belinda could sing, but she always dressed kinda frumpy lol.
In 1987 Belinda Carlisle was about 10-years into an admitted 30-year battle with drug addiction. As beautiful as she was, she often had an almost empty stare like she didn’t even know where she was. She has stated that she has been sober since 2005 so kudos to her.

lol. DUH. It was 1986 not 1970. Freda is only there because of BC.

Ms Freda living her best life🎉
Belinda looks great, but Freda is still smokin' on this!

Miss Freda Payne was in a league of her own. A true natural beauty with a voice of gold #Yes #Yas #E-Yes 💝💞💟❣💕💖💓
OMG, Freda is so fine back in the day.she had the moves to.what a lady.
I remember this like yesterday. One of my favorite Solid Gold performances.
Love the song old version and this one .. Belinda looks great ! always had a huge crush on her
Belinda was always appealing
Both of them rocked it
I use to watch solid gold every night! Loved that show!
They both rocked it.
Love this song! Always been a favorite of mine!
I remembered watching solid gold as a young teen loved this show and I miss it lol and this performance with these two dynamic ladies rocked it old and new versions of the same song
Belinda had this on her album.
This is fantastic
I LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you for putting this up on UA-cam. I remember this performance!!!!!
Business on the right, party on the left
Frida was guess star here. Belinda put this on her album.
Freda's sings it with her on the LP.
I always appreciated Belinda's resilience to not dress like a whore. She was so gorgeous, yet in the 80s and 90s, she usually kept the clothes on in her videos and performances. Makes her all the more beautiful. She looks radiant.
Reminds me of the singing scene in the Bridesmaids movie where they are trying to upstage each other.
LMFAO!
I think the contrast in their attire is intentional.
Freda Payne is not a One Hit Wonder. Her other Top 40 hits were Bring the Boys Home and Deeper & Deeper.
I saw Belinda Carlisle once at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London - she didn't sing this song though! And 'China Crisis' were supporting!
Freda Payne makes Belinda look like a sack of flower. What was Belinda thinking to even try to share a stage with such a commanding presence?
Funny Sir, I thought exactly the same thing.
She is high on cocaine
Yea, but Belinda is having a better time.....lol.
Umm. Yeah. Right. "Look"? I think you mean "sound" but thats not true either. Freda jumped at the chance to appear on the re-make on BC's debut album.

Belinda was just as good as frida.
After watching this 3 times i noticed someone next to beautiful , curvy Belinda Carlisle. Who is she ?
One of BC's childhood heroes that sang the original.
@@davidlindsay9564 You said it best.
Freda Payne. The original singer of this song in 1970.
Love them both, and this is one of my favorite songs. But why was Freda just a backup singer on her own great song?! Freda looks like she belongs on stage, Belinda looks like she belongs in the library!
I'd check out a book there!
Belinda's song too. She remade it, and had Freda guest on it.
I remember this video well. Remember being shocked thinking Freda actually looks better than Belinda. She had recorded that 20+ years earlier and was a lot older. That's what I most remember about this performance to this day.
I agree!; Belinda could have had a more zazzy dance outfit chosen for her. They both rocked though. Just didn't like Belinda's outfit.
@@davidlindsay9564 That's so funny, she would be the most beautiful librarian I would have ever seen.
One's wearing a sexy outfit and the other's wearing a business suit!
🙏
Belinda really rocked this as good as frida did
Funny, everyone seems to be concerned about singer(s) outward appearance. Personally appreciate Belinda as an artist, know very little about Freda except for her one hit wonder.
I wouldn't know who she was if not for BC doing the re-make with her.
Correction: Freda had a few hits. One of them 'Bring the Boys back Home' a protest dance song of the Vietnam war. Very memorable.
@@davidlindsay9564 Yea, remembering so many years ago when I was an eighth grader in Jr. H.S. , her song went top 40 and, as I remember may even have made it into the top ten at the local AM station.
Freda dresses like an old, bony street walker. Belinda is a young ,vivacious, curvy pin up.
At the time, Freda was 45 years-old and Belinda Carlisle was 29.
Both hot but Freda doesn’t need help.
she needed BC's help in 86 to get there in the first place.
Um! Excuse me! Belinda should have done back up and let Frieda give the song the passion it deserved! But Belinda has to have all the attention on her when Frieda was the more talented one!

@@davidlindsay9564 Well said
Great song and performance, but damn, what is Belinda wearing? She looks like a singing secretary...
Even Belinda would laugh at your remark in a polite way. 🤣😅🤣😅
Oh Gott
I'd like to give you a band of gold PAM 💗
Why was Belinda wearing a business suit?
Freda looks amazing! Belinda looks matronly? Wtf?
Belinda looked classy!
@@jessiem276 granny skirt suits from the 80s are not classy.
Freda out sang her and out beau-tied her...lol
Belinda was younger and pretty. Both looked good, but Belinda was no slouch.
Belinda was a beauty, so get it right!

Maybe BC has a job interview after she taped this.
Freda looks fantastic here but why is Belinda dressed like a secretary?
Lisa Marie Lund , IMO Marilyn McCoo looked even better during the 30 second intro than either of them, as hot as they were.
BC dressed down to put some of the spotlight on Freda. BC was the hottest thing in 86.
@@davidlindsay9564 Belinda was so gorgeous and talented. I’m surprised her career stalled the way it did.
@@lisamarielund6292 There's only so much room I guess. Madonna was huge, Whitney and Janet were coming on big, Benetar didn't fare as well as time went on either.
Why is freda doing back up to her best song? Wtf?
Belinda remade the song and asked Freda to appear.
Why does Freda need Belinda there? Don't get it?
Because Belinda was huge at the time and she threw a one hit wonder a bone out of childhood respect.
Belinda looks like a nurse
Freda Payne looks like a hot rocker chick, while Belinda is dressed like she is on her way to a church social on Easter. Belinda could sing, but she always dressed kinda frumpy lol.
Belinda don't even look at Freda. How rude
Just noticed that. Wonder what was up with that.

Freda should have sung that song by herself. She didn't need that chick in that song. Plus, that other girl made that song sound country.

That was horrendous,sounded like 2 drunk women singing karaoke in a bar.
well, we all know belinda has never had any clothing taste.
It was mid 80s. Would you rather have your wife dress like Belnda does here or Freda for the co Christmas party?
