Kim Wilde - Kids In America - 80s Classical 

Watching this made me very happy. Takes me back to 1st year at school. I miss the eighties, so many good times. This performance was outstanding.

I still remember watching this when I was 16. Who would have thought I'd be watching it on a computer 40 years later lol.

What a fantastic arrangement, brilliant.

When i see the state of things now, i was so lucky to have been part of 80's 👌

She still has a great voice.

I heard this on some Saturday morning show in ‘81 when it first came out. I was so wowed, but all I could remember was that she was some rocker’s daughter and the melody! So I desperately listened to Radio 1 all week (school holidays). This was before MTV, Google, and the internet- no chance of trying to find it. However my persistence when, from the garden I heard the tune and rushed into the house in time to bop along and hear it was the wonderful Kim Wilde. Been wowed by it ever since 🎉👏🏿

Kim and Ricky created a song that became the anthem of pop music of the 80s ✌

She is amazing live and so in key. Wow.

She has NOT lost it. All the way from australia. 😀🙋👍❤

We all should write an Email to Kim for a full concert of her again. I would pay and travel a lot for that.

Her first-and best? hit tune by far really. From early 1981, still as good today too! Thank you of course.

One of the best songs of the 80s!

She's still got it at 62!!

Yup, I was a kid in America! I miss the music of that time.

First time I've ever seen this classic done with opera. Extremely impressive. Our teenage idol. ❤😂😂😂

Wow wow wow ! I wish i had half her energy!

So glad I experienced the 80s in person being 53 years old!!!!

Kim can still sing. No over the top (old-ass) madonna moves. Well Done! The music is what counts! Cheers!

Still rockin' it at 63! Kim Wilde is a legend!

I was 9 years old when this was released. WOW STILL Fresh Go On Kim !!!!

Talk about an electrifying performance! WOW!

Still sounds good ❤

Kim Wilde is CLASS!!!

Fabulous Kim you rock hunny bunny need to see you doing more please 🙏 xxx

Sounds fantastic with the orchestra!

Simply awesome with the orchestra

Very very very good from France !!!!❤❤❤❤❤

This should be released on cd! I know Kim only sang a few songs , but these orchestra versions would be great for all the artists participated!

Wow! Cliff Masterson and Kim Wilde!

This song was one that lifted my spirits as I lay in a spinal injuries unit in '81. 41 years later I still love it!

Please bring Concert to Glasgow ! I can't get over to Belfast for 7th Oct 🙁

Wow! I was 11 years old when this song hit the U.S. in 1982, and I liked it okay. But I *LOVE* this version. Amazing. Could see this being used as an epic action finale in Stranger Things.

Wow. Dare I say it. It was as good , if not better, than when I heard it originally.

For ever Young 💥. Kim Wilde & Sandra ( Queens of my Youth ;) )

I love it good old days l wish l was kid again

Damn that arrangement gives me chills! Greetings from France

Makes one want to be a kid in America!

I’d love to see her do Never Trust A Stranger now.

Fantastic

imagine getting all the great bands from the 80's-90's and having them in a show where each band performs their best hit ,what an awesome show that would ever be

Amazing performance ❤

Kim Wilde ... bravo !!!

Any chance of an album!!! One of my favourites . First time I heard this was a Saturday night at the roller disco with the family. I must have been 9 or 10. Nice one

She doesn't age she sounds almost the exact same she has live since 1981 if not more confident.

En philarmonique c'est grandiose ❤

Awesome! Sounds great, looks great. Now that's a classic. Thank you for the video.

Wonderful

Belt it out, girl!

Get in!!!!

Time and time again having a rock band supported by an orchestra behind them works. All the way from deep Purple in the 70s and onwards.

❤loved this 🎉

Stupendous....love it!

Triumphant! That's her brother playing the guitar, right? The actual writer of the song? I remember vividly when the vid of this song hit the airwaves.. Everyone's breath was taken away for a fist-full of glorious minutes. as a Brit-kid living in America, I couldn't be more proud.

Wow absolutely fantstic, so much energy. Love the orchestral element, sounded like Kim Wilde meets Guardians of the Galaxy. Bloody brilliant. Was that Kims daughter singing with her?

Sigue con la misma voz ❤️😘

Looking out a dirty old window Down below the cars in the city go rushing by I sit here alone and I wonder why Friday night and everyone's moving I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down I search for the beat in this dirty town Downtown the young ones are going Downtown the young ones are growing We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody live for the music-go-round Bright lights, the music gets faster Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance Hot-shot, give me no problems Much later, baby, you'll be saying nevermind You know life is cruel, life is never kind Kind hearts don't make a new story Kind hearts don't grab any glory We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody live for the music-go-round La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la (Sing) La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la Come closer, honey, that's better Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight Outside a new day is dawning Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere I don't want to go, baby New York to east California There's a new wave coming, I warn ya We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody lives for the music-go-round La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la (Sing) La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America

wow

The horn section makes me think of "You know my name"

Most attractive woman on that stage! In more ways than one!

I think I just “Came”

80 luku oli maailman historian onnellisinta aikaa. Siis sen jälkeen kun ihminen laskeutui puusta.

Better than the original

Check out her album “here come the aliens”…. Very retro pop tastic

I am so old, I remember when Kim was slim and hot.

Adam could get it multiple times

Love the pit dolly. Hand held in orch looks good. Stage right cam op is way too tight. Two looks at the back of a violin' player's head with a yellow headband taking up the majority of the frame should not have made the edit. Next time to tell the cam op to "DFI" (aka Different Fookin' Idea") because the back of heads is a useless shot. The wide shots from the back of the orchestra are excellent. Good use of wide lenses.Espec with crowd reaction. The audio mix is superb. Does the artist and the orchestra justice.

3:10 one of the violin guys has a Borg implant

Estos eran canantes no los de ahora

She has her lungs pushed up there, like two naughty boys under a blanket. Pity Cozy cannot be there drumming for her.

Should be the hymn played before every Trump supporter worship party

Nah nah nahhhhh

Nog steeds de zelfde stem na al die jaren mooi zeg
