A LEGEND AND AN ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blind reaction to Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time (Live - 1984) 

She not only sang it, she wrote it. Won a Tony award for writing music for Kinky Boots.

still touring in 2024 she is 70 yrs old had damaged her vocal cords was told she'd never sing again took a year off rehabbed her voice with a vocal coach, Do not think that this Brooklyn Girl just gives up.

Not only was she an amazing singer, she is/was an absolute genuine, kind mensch

In 1984 I was 27 years old in the prime of life, Cindy Lauper, Duran Duran, Hall & Oates, Prince, The Cars, The Eurythmics, Elton John to name just a few, the music of the 80's will never be matched.

Something I think a lot of people overlook about Cyndi is that she has perfect pitch. I own every album she has put out, I believe. She is a powerhouse. I was 18 in 1983 when her first album came out, and I've been a fan from day 1. LOVE her.

1 She's one of the best, if not the best pop singer EVER. I am not kidding. Mariah Cary, Celine Dion, even freakin' Whitny Huston, she's better than all of them. See "Cyndi Lauper, Best Live Vocals". 2 She's got a whole body of work you have never heard. Pop, Blues, EDM, Standards, Country. They are all good. 3. For a live performance, Try "Cyndi Lauper, Live from Paris" (1987). There is a version on RU-vid where they edited out the song Boy Blue. Avoid that one. Her live performances of that song is why her husband says "She cuts a vein every time she goes out to sing." I've seen her twice live in recent years, she is as strong and energetic as ever.

Cyndi Lauper is one of the artists who forged the pop aesthetics of the 80s

She's amazing, and she acts too. She made several appearances on Bones as a clairvoyant

She has always been so beautiful! Loved her since day one!

VoicePlay created such a good version of "True Colors," so unique and heartfelt. I would bet they'd make this song amazing as well. I was barely out of diapers when this song came out. I would steal my mother's makeup and put on blue eye shadow, I wanted to dye my hair red, I'd purposely wear mismatched socks, and apparently my sister actually shaved half her head... much to our mother's horror, haha! That is how iconic she was, that two kids not even old enough to read and write wanted to be like her and knew her music was awesome.

Oh the '80s and the wonderful world of MTV when it really was only Music TV.

I was 17 in 1984. I grew up listening to my dads music, Hank Williams, George Jones, The Statler Brothers. But I would catch artists like Cyndi Lauper, Hall & Oats and all the other singers on MTV.

@DJ_410 I don't know if you noticed, but didn't mention it, but did you notice that the audience was DEAD SILENT throughout the entire performance? You don't get that from Post-80's Concerts. This audience sat there in silence because they wanted to hear HER sing the song. Only after she finished, did they explode in cheers and whistles. That's respect right there. The kind of respect you rarely find in a modern concert audience. As far as how Cyndi sounds now? The exact same. Maybe a bit better (decades of experience can only make you better). I heard her sing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" a few years ago and she sounded exactly the same, but less raw and more refined. She has the skill and experience now to not rely on her rawness, but instead to be able to turn it on and off as she sees fit, thus bringing more nuance to her performances than back then. She really is a remarkable singer. Singers who never stop never lose it. Prime Example is Dolly Parton. She sounds every bit as good now as she did in her prime. Again, maybe even better now due to her decades upon decades of experience. I can't remember if you've heard it yet, but Dolly Parton did a remix of Jolene with Pentatonix in 2017. Not only was she able to keep up with Pentatonix, in many ways she "showed them how it was done." I'm not really much of a Pentatonix Fan, but I respect their talent. THIS performance, though, was INCREDIBLE. But yeah, Cyndi is much the same because, much like Dolly, Cyndi never stopped singing and performing. And, like Dolly, Cyndi took care of her voice.

All Through the Night by Cyndi Lauper is also amazing 😍

If you've never seen Bones, she plays a recurring roll as a psychic and sings an absolutely stunning version of At Last by Etta James durring the Booth and Bones wedding episode.

I have always felt that because of her persona, somehow she got labeled as a novelty act or for whatever reason was never taken as seriously as her talent and style demanded. Regardless of her many huge hits..she never received the accolades she really deserved

Such an iconic look and an iconic song! This performance was AMAZING. Thank you Bumblebee Whisperer for this fabulous choice and opening the whole Herd up to more options for our requests!

QUEEN!

She still has pipes. But at 70, her voice is very different than when she was 30. She put out an album of old jazz standards -- which seems to be a thing aging rockers do when they lose some of their range -- and it's fire.

Have loved her forever. I remember this, lol. It was the year I graduated HS.

You will see the real Power of Cyndi Change of Heart (at Last Tour)

Great Reaction Dylan and for your next reaction you have to react to the gentleman from this years America’s Got Talent contestant doing Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing he sound exactly like the lead singer 👨‍🎤 And It Blew Me and My Family Away Have a Fantastic Day/Evening Take Care Dylan 💜💚💜😊

Great performance. Also check out or react to Cyndi Lauper - True Colors (Live on David Letterman 1986) another great live performance.

Thanks DJ 😊

In 1984 I was 12

Cyndi's look is ... well, kind of bag-lady chic. :)

Ah the 80’s. I wore the big skirts and teased my hair so high I had to to be carful around ceiling fans.

7:42 You want to see a really good video?? Ronan by Taylor Swift.. get a lot of tissues because you're going to need them it is absolutely beautiful....love your reactions.. do the video of of the song not the live version.. I absolutely enjoy watching you.. I love when you do the Home Free reactions.. they are my favorite

I saw her life and her live vocals in my opinion are better than the in-studio version.
