I agree except I feel weird about the instrumental during the chorus, it feels slightly altered from the original. It feels more like a steady beat than the Tom fill punchy funk sound on the album - which to me is the best part of the song and what makes the chorus punch so hard, like you can tell how cruel of a summer it is lol that punch in the heart feeling from that part is so good. But it might just be me idk lol could be my sound or the live setup dampening it.
I’m 64 worked for a Cable company back in 83-86 and I had MTV on all day in my office. When Cruel Summer came on with the sound off I thought OK 3 pretty chics and a silly video then I turned the sound on and was like wow! Was a Beatles, Badfinger, Pink Floyd, Chicago and Moody Blues fan but I liked them a lot! Not just easy on the eyes but a great sound. My friends at the time were like this is bubble gum music? Well I never thought so! Now my buddies daughters still listen to them along with the Beatles, Kiss and other 60’s, 70’s and 80’s groups.
WOW! That was good! They sounded excellent and all look smashing. What a class act. And Siobhan looks like she's having such a terrific time--her energy and delight are palpable. What a pleasure to see her back with her original mates.
They have the same beautiful voice than the 80's and they still are beautiful women...damn , that I dance on their songs, one of my favorite groups of the 80's...most of the singers from Britain are the bests !!!
This was my television highlight of 2017! I was so very happy. I just happened to be at my parents (who always quite liked them) - they were amazed at how naturally attractive all three of them were still looking. Then I saw them live in Brighton - a memory to cherish.
It's so cute. The reaction of the other celebs. An icon like Harrison Ford, himself, swooning. Even Reese seemed starstruck & shy - with Margot girl-crushing at her side. & the B-girls absolutely down-to-earth. Supersweet.
They look and still sound amazing performing live 34 years after this song 1st came out in 1983'' . This song still goes hard And always been 1 of my favorite 80s babies classics that brings back good childhood memories of the early mid 80s.🎶😎
This was such a treat, that when I heard they were doing a mini tour in the States I just had to go. There were backing tracks, but you could clearly tell they were still singing live. An amazing show!
Amazing that hey have provided us all with this smooth, sexy, easy sound for so many years...Aprefect blend of pop and chill..... thnx from the heart and well done!
These women are incredibly talented and amazingly gorgeous! Their dance moves and vocals are fantastic. It would be incredible to play a bluesy solo and fills throughout the song. Lots of extra creative things, on top of their wonderfully global hit. 🎸🎸🤟🤟
I love all these three ladies, they make me travel back to a great age of my life...their song mixed with that Karate Kid scene, which starts when Daniel heads in his bike to school is iconic.
I love it . . in 2019....waooooooh...😃😃😃...in my childhood my love this band. I think these three ladies seneor than me . but i love there fantastic music..cruel summer
