To all the negative comments .what do you folk know about the 80s dance era .This was a catchy beat she was a beautiful looking woman back in the day .style baziz .what do you kids of today know .
This was the song playing when I went to see my dad for the first time in 15yrs having emigrated to NZ is 74 - just as well I went as he passed in 90 - the only way is up is a lovely reminder to be positive.
This song forms part of my daily conditioning routine song playlist for my 5 year old daughter on our drive to her school each day. She bops her shoulders and swings her head back right on queue 🤣🥰 THE ONLY WAY IS UP ❤
I had this on 12" blue vinyl purchased on a school trip to Germany. Went to see her at Manchester Apollo aged 15. Bunked off school and took the train from Blackburn. She was so gorgeous! Her and Neneh Cherry! Phwoarr! :)
You could tell she had a soar throat so less of the negative comments shes a natural beauty with no botox or spùnk in her face and yes she can sing too but had soar throat .. ..
Great to see Yazz looking so well. She sings well, just a bit hoarse on the low notes. That's what singing live is all about. In the studio you'd stop and do some more takes later but you can't do that when live on TV.
Came to see what Yazz looks like now, stayed for the short sleeved leotard and tights, long sleeved unitard with leotard and the leotard with 3/4 length tights. DAMN I loved the Eighties.
She sounds like one of those rare artists that sound so much better in the higher octave, some singers really can't hold a note in the lower register, it's a shame, because she sounds so good singing high, that it's more of a strain on her voice to come down to a normal range.
Fantastic sing back in the Day cant believe it's the same woman wow still remember that amazing hair. 😱 let's cut her some slack shes in her 60s not many artists need to change the level of the high notes to allow for age
I think she's still absolutely fabulous and doesn't need the negative comments, when you have been in the industry like she has then you might understand it takes its toll on your voice over a 30yr career.
When I worked for London Underground in the late eighties a station manager called Evans used to carry a bag with Yazz’s record in it, he would proudly show it to us because he was Yazz’s Dad 😊
There is a whole live concert on you tube titled ‘the only way is up’ Yazz live in concert 1989 and it’s amazing. Yazz had a strong booming deep voice and then a real high voice as well and loads of dancing, lots of political messages, different styles of music. It’s a brilliant video from her tour ❤
My Dad bought this Yazz record, it reminds me of him. Based on Wiki I understand George Jackson and Johnny Henderson originally wrote this song. Yazz did a banging version, but kudos to the writers. To me it feels odd that they don't get a mention. If the grandkids of George Jackson and Johnny Henderson are reading this, I want you to know that your relatives created something that really moved an 8 year old kid in Manchester who is now a 43 year old in Ilkley. Big love x
I remember in my early 20's pumping the volume up in my nice little sports car listening to this...then I got married and life just went downhill from there. I don't have that nice little sports car anymore 😕
I miss those times when people used to have fun, now we have a society of killers and such envy people. So sad. God was more present in the life of these eighties people.
@@julliard Everywhere, I'm from Argentina. Everyone agree those times were more secure, no matter what country or zone. It's something worldwide, I know we are in the end times, evilness is increasing.
@@julliard Oh what a beautiful country, which part are you from? I love Ireland, I have my favourite singer there, Enya, whom lives in Dublin. I love the colours of the classical and elegant winter clothes as the coats you wear: olive green, brown, gray, white. I love clovers. I love the surnames like MacGarry. It's a very beautiful country, I know it's a success to live there, you are blessed. And I love the fact that many of you have accepted Christ in your lives, that's one of the reasons I think you are a complete success, it's a matter of being blessed. I used to watch those bushman scary pranks and people tend to be funny and nice, not triggered at all. I love irish traditional flute music. I love that the weather is mostly cloudy and rainy. I'm very proud to talk with a person from Ireland. I salute you from Argentina, we love artists like Enya, others would listen to U2 and Cranberries.
@@arcangelico2179 I live in Rialto which is in the south of Dublin. I used to watch the bushman pranks as well but I have never seen him in real life. Enya is a wonderful artist. I would not listen to U2 or Cranberries. They are a bit too noisy. I love the hymn "make me a channel of your peace" which my mother used to sing to me as a child. I work in the Guinness brewery. I have been the postman there for the last 20 years. You are right about our weather. It is nearly always cloudy and rainy. I imagine your country is always warm and dry? The Christian faith is still very strong here especially among older people. I salute you from Ireland.
