Who's still listening to this angel songbird in 2024? What a feeling it is to go back in time along the rivers of your memory to a much simpler way of life, the 1980s.
I cannot believe she is gone. She was such a role model. Beautiful, strong and fierce. I looked up to her growing up in Brooklyn, NY. She was more than an icon. She was family. And I am sitting hearing crying singing, my heart breaking that she is gone. You are living on forever in our hearts Irene Cara 🕊 💔🤍💛💜 #GoneTooSoon #RIPIreneCara
I'm here in Coventry England I'm 73 it's made me cry beautiful people and beautiful music travels the whole world we are all blessed to talk but special people have the gift to sing one of another gift from God xx
She was not underrated. She has been number 1 on top 100 billboard, and two more times top 10. That is not common what so ever. And she has been on billboard top 100 eight times. She also has one academy award, one golden globe award, one bafta award and two grammy awards.
I just woke up to find out she passed yesterday. She and this song were one of the most positive things to come out of the 80's. I'm ready to cry. Rest in peace, beautiful Irene.
The Irene Cara story really makes me sad and somewhat angry. This woman had everything..the voice, the looks, she was a generational talent for sure. She could sing, play piano, act, and dance, she won an Oscar- everything a person needed to be successful and have longevity in the industry. Some horrible people robbed her of that success, that longevity, due to greed. She didn't get her money she was supposed to receive and as a result of her fighting for it, she was swept under the rug, banished. Nobody wanted to work with her anymore. All that talent, gone by the late 80s into obscurity. Irene Cara should have still been a household name well into the 90s and beyond. But looking at this video, one can clearly see that she has had peace in her life despite her missed opportunities. She's aged wonderfully still enjoys doing what she has always done best. She seems grateful to have had an opportunity to begin with and still celebrates what she DID achieve...a lot In a little bit of time. Suddenly the story isn't so sad after all.
This songs won Oscar and Grammy and bring American dream alive in early 80s. She was famous actress in late 70s- Roots. I never knew her success was robed
@@aceledio Look up the movie "Fame" She also sang the theme song from that movie. Also look up "Out Here On My Own" from the same movie. Both beautiful songs.
I've been listening to this song for the last 4 days straight non stop on RU-vid music. I'm 43 and this is the most positive song I've ever heard in my entire life. Irene Cara radiates so much positive energy in this song.
For those that know the background meaning of this masterpiece, Irene Cara will never fade, and long live as the inspiration of this achievement. Many would never watch media role models if they knew the real meaning.
She deserved Whitney and Mariah fame and even more. I think she has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard and her charisma is off the charts. She was simply incredible
@@harperstacey9604 same thing that happened to Janet Jackson if it can happen to hurricane happened to anyone. She fought back against the establishment and one and they never let her back in. Showbiz is an evil world
Celine Dion is remembered for "My heart will go on", Berlin is remembered for "Take my breath away", Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes are both remembered for "(I've had) the time of my life", and Irene Cara will always be remembered for "What a feeling". Classics like these are forever. RIP Irene
Muchas gracias por los videos de Irene cara mi recuerdo cuándo fue joven en mi adolescencia era un estudiante visité los cines con mis amigos en Honduras me llene de alegría y de felicidad con sus canciones me sorprende la noticia de su muerte su desaparición me ha causado dolor es lamentable me uno a condolencias.
Watching back to back performances, when she first preformed the song, she seemed fragile and vulnerable despite the strong voice. In this performance I see a stronger, more confident woman.
She has something so special, so sweet, so sensitive, so beautiful, so precious, so sentimental, so exciting, a different energy, always her voice, her dance, her song, her music, her art; they made me move to tears; Thank you divine woman for all that talent and that touch of heaven that makes us vibrate, thanks from Medellín in Colombia.
Omg...Irene, you inspired me more than you could ever know. You created pure energy that will never cease. You defined an era that is so close to my heart RIP😢

Absolutely nothing has changed abt this gorgeous woman! Her voice, her appearance... NOTHING!! Ms. Cara is just as amazing now as she was in the 80s 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Irene Cara also co-wrote this song! One of the greatest Pop songs in history. That's on top of acting in Fame (1980), where she sang the theme and heart melting "Out Here On My Own". Singer, song writer, actress, pianist...amazing talent.

RIP Irène Cara 🙏🙏Tu as bercé mon adolescence avec tes deux tubes incroyables et inoubliables que sont Fame et what a feeling !!!!Ta voix résonnera longtemps dans la mémoire mais aussi dans mes playlists favorites 😍
May her beautiful soul rest in peace. It's amazing how my siblings and I just dug out her songs last week after searching for a long time. Only to hear she is dead right now. That is the irony of life. We loved loved this song and the movie FAME (we watched in the 90s). Big respect to her from Nigeria
Hi ! It's all very sad, such a dear and good singer left us, much too soon! I was 19 years old when I saw the film in the cinema, it shaped my time, it was the time when I got my driver's license, it was on the radio when I had my first driving lesson, I couldn't get up because of the beautiful song concentrate on driving, which made my driving instructor angry! :-)) All in all a very nice time, thank you Irene Cara for making us happy in the 80's with your songs. One of the best singers of the 80's has left us, Irene, you will always be in in our hearts and your music will continue to accompany us through life. Rest in peace dear Irene, your music was great, is great, and will always be great. Your music fills the hearts of many people. Thank you for everything dear Irene Cara! Greetings from Luxembourg in Central Europe ! 🙂
La sensacional Irene Cara, una artista increíbles, sensacional, bellas su canciones igual que ella, todo un talentos, una tremenda mujer cuántos me gusta verlas y escuchar su linda voz.
I was 13 when this song was a hit in 1983 and was a big fan of this woman. Today I am a grandfather of three. I can't believe how little she had changed in 35 years.
