Belinda Carlisle On Why The Go-Go's Broke Up, Performs "Mad About You" | Letterman 

Charlotte was there playing acoustic. Love that she was there supporting Belinda in the beginning of her solo career.

She was so cute and had (has) such a distinctive vibrato to her voice. She's still married to that guy that she eloped with, so good for her! Paul and the band did a good job of backing her up.

The "Our Lips Are Sealed" video is perfection, peak 1980s. It's joyous, upbeat, catchy and it made every kid in America want to be in Los Angeles.

She was such a doll.

Great performance by Belinda. Top shelf band, bar none. Miss those guys.

Wow Was not expecting that old-fashioned raw live performance. Kind of refreshing hearing it totally organic and unprocessed.

Ahh, that 80's childhood crush. She's awesome! ❤🎶

Belinda Carlisle is hilarious. The music video of "Mad About You" is so Santa Monica, Melrose Ave, Pacific Palisades,Venice Beach and Malibu Beaches. She is a true L.A. gal. Love me some Belinda ❤

She just busts out a stellar live performance with the Letterman house band. What a talent! Like every "Gen-Xer" Belinda's and the Go-Go's music will be in my brain till I cease to exist.

Belinda just comes alive behind the microphone

Amazing how Paul’s band can serve the musical needs of every guest performer no matter the genre.

That band was phenomenal. If anybody told you that that was the recording group you believe it but probably the one and only time they performed that song.

Great snare sound! (I know this is highly off-topic, but it does sound great.)

She's 65 now, and the miracle of all miracles, she's still married to Morgan Mason. Has to be some kind of entertainment industry record.

It's beyond crazy how cute she was and on top of that also a great performer.

What a natural super star Belinda was

Wow, she is stunning and such a great voice.

What an amazingly dynamic and powerful band Paul and the fellas were. They backed her to absolute perfection. And it of course goes without saying that Belinda is outstanding.

I LOVE Belinda!! I always sang to the GO-GO'S. . still do!!! 💗

grade 3 1980 or so some kids brought go go's album....never forgot it

She is so beautiful!

Weird funny info about The Go Go's. When 'Our Lips Are Sealed' came out it was a huge hit in Australia as well. But because the Aussies had a little bit of a hard time understanding the American accent in the song... they thought it was 'Alex The Seal'. Seriously... not kidding.

my first celebrity crush, her.

She is SO beautiful

Is that Charlotte from the Go-Gos playing guitar in the back?

Its so fun to see clips like this again and understand all the adult innuendo that confused me the first time

A vacation was all Belinda wanted.

Actual performance, not a lip synch. Very impressive. Also, Belinda was one of the loveliest women ever to appear in the public eye, no exaggeration.

The Go Go's: the only all-girl band to have a #1 album. Ever. P.S. - this sounded GREAT!!!

I remember watching this in the '80s when I was in my 20s. I fell in love with her even though I didn't care much for the Go Gos. I was fascinated with the way she moved her little feet around as she sang.

So beautiful 💗

Charlotte hiding back there too.

I vaguely remember this tune, but with Paul, Anton, etc., this was probably the best performance of the song.

Love watching Paul nerd out with beautiful women

No matter how enchanting a rose is, it can never bloom forever.

What a gorgeous woman.

Wow! Belinda and Dave! That's an interesting duo.

That's great even Paul Shaffer is mad about you🙂 Belinda has an incredibly beautiful voice.

i hate when i see these youtube posts b/c the first thing i have to do is find out if the person has recently passed. Thanks goodness that is not the case here. I SO LOVED her first album!! Was great to see her in an interview for the first time.

Love this song ...sounds great live!!!

Wow that's an awesome performance 👍

She’s still with us. 😅

Belinda is made about me. Bang bang bang 😁

She was a Princess 👸

💰 for her every time the 📻 plays this song.🎼

She was so friggin cute! Possibly high as a kite in this interview, but dang,I loved this song!! Glad her and the rest of the girls got it together and that they got into the R&R Hall of Fame 👍

Belinda o wow shes stunning

Wasn't Charlotte playing the acoustic?

❤❤❤❤

Still married to her husband. The late actor James Mason was her father-in-law.

Dave you are the luckiest man alive! Oh, you're talented and you worked your a$$ of to get where you are, but... Sitting with Belinda and the Go-Go's is a blessing that you can't count on even with a successful career! She may be the most stunningly beautiful woman! Lol! 😂 I was born January 2nd 1980 so my entire life I had the hots for all of the Go-Gos

The world's most dangerous band delivers again!

I had and still have a huge crush on her

Gorgeous 😍

The legendary James Mason’s legendary daughter-in-law.

Oh, she was so cute.

Always had a huge crush for her. To this day …

My teenage crush. Think she still might be! 😊

The closed captioning on this is funny. "Im not about about you"

Hope they had many happy children ? Very talented singer...

That’s always a good song❤🎉

Morgan Mason was one lucky guy

Now every time I see someone on letterman RU-vid I have to check and see if there dead...

There's an interesting story about Belinda and her "date" with Megadeth's Dave Mustaine in his book. Check it out.

Glad the Go Go's made the Hall of Fame. Like a lot of men, I was crushing on Belinda, and Jane to a lesser extent. When she started cleaning up her appearance and image for her solo career, it was like a new person almost. This is my favorite song of her solo career. She had mild success for a few years, unlike Suzanna Hoffs who bombed, crashed and burned. As far as Letterman, he started out great with his dry, sarcastic humor. But eventially he became full of himself, acted bigger than the stars he interviewed. He openly flirted with female guests, would act bored and disinterested at times. His feud with Leno was off-putting, he could never get over Leno getting his dream job or Leno beating him in the ratings.

She's bombed here, but she's still super cute.

Interesting, that Charlotte agreed with Belinda to break up the band. Considering that Charlotte was the primary song writer (although Jane Weidlin did contribute more as time went on) and Belinda was the lead singer, without the two of them the band could not continue. Glad they finally got back together at the turn of the century for one more album, with the hit "Unforgiven" co written by Charlotte Caffee and Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day with some input from Jane Weidlin for the band's last top 40 hit, peaking at #22.

MERCY❗ 😳

Melinda will always be remembered...😢

She’s 65 now and still a hottie

I recall MTV having an interview with Jane where she seemed like she was more angry at the record company than Belinda. Sounded like they railroaded her a bit. She wrote or helped write several of their hits and they kind of put her on the back burner.

Second!! Blessed be!!🙏

I think they broke up because of all the controversy over the incorrect use of the apostrophe.

Is she high? if she is that makes her even more beautiful….

she was a cutie pie.

Charlotte was there but didn't give her credit?? sad.

A couple years later Dave more or less kidnapped Belinda from an interview in the building because she "looks so great." Show that one!

Belinda is a cutie.

Letterman clearly had a crush. She was on 3 days in a row at one time?

A word of advice to all of you: instead of writing the usual pathetic comments, you'd be better off looking for more footage, because Belinda has performed on this show many times. And don't leave a "thumbs up" on my comment, just do as I said. Otherwise, we will NEVER see her other performances in this show. Thanks in advance.

Blue eyeliner

Interesting that there was no entrance music for her.

So , Paul Schaefer and the band just arranged all the music and sang back up???

I believe that's charlotte on the quitar

Drunk or High?

*Jeremy Clarkson voice* Belinda CarLISLE

Paul is such a screwball but he was awesome. Nothing will ever match Dave's show. It broke the mold.

damn dude the world's most dangerous band was better than MTV

Imagine being in the audience and hearing this for the first time....

Letterman is so charmless no idea why he was ever popular

❤❤❤hi dear dave and ....❤❤❤❤❤❤

I blame Yoko.

Taylor Swift!

Somewhat obvious from this interview that Belinda's ego was too big for the band and she left. It got boring. I don't speak with anyone else but Charlotte. And I said hi to Jane. Same story for a lot of bands that got popular. Lead singer figures they can make more money on their own.

I think she's ok

There’s no end on how creepy Letterman was slobbering all over the female guests. He should’ve been cancelled. I’m so glad he’s gone from tv

Damn that snare sounds awful

Pretty and talented, but sounds a like a cliche California valley girl ditz.

I don't how Letterman was so popular. The guy was not too bright to say the least

RIP
