This is genuinely one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen. What makes it more special is she actually wrote every word of this incredible love song. The 90s was a special decade.
It says a lot about the music industry that someone like this was never hugely famous. What an incredible voice, especially in comparison to some others with far less talent, who were much more famous and successful.
what a beautiful woman, her face not masked and hidden behind a foot of makeup and so relaxed in herself, absolute effortless, it really is hard to believe today that over 30 years have passed by...how lucky were we back then to have all this great music both before and then... awesomeness on two legs
I just got chills her voice, her charisma her calm confidence. The simplicity of her outfit the natural dancing. This is what it means to sing from the heart. The music industry in took advantage of us.
I used to hear this song back in the day and thought it was a beautiful melody. Her final notes singing the line " leave me breathless" are absolutely sweet. Now I'm 56, I Love it even more. Live and faultless, leaving me breathless. Thank you Maria.
Ive listened a thousand times and it gets better she is amazing what a voice and such a beautiful woman i will watch and listen another thousand times❤
This live performance (Countdown 1990) version of Show Me Heaven by Maria Mckee is bewitching and the vocals very musically hypnotizing. The singer charismatically gives it her all/ exquisitely pours her heart out musically in this live performance.
Love Maria Mckee! From Lone Justice to solo she was always so talented and such a beauty...childhood crush! : ) Beautiful voice and great musician/writer!
I commented once before that I have only just recently heard this song very weakley on a car radio & was lucky enough to catch the name of the song which a lot of the time now isn't given. Since I then found the song on Utube I have not stopped playing it & enjoying it every time. But this morning after I played it I went into comments & found out the song is Thirty plus years old. Amazing !! I am soon turning 69 , love music & don't know how I ever missed this incredible women singimg this amazing song. "Phew"😰 did I leave anything out 🤔😅
All this time I thought she was Irish 😆and it turns out she's American. She looks great, fantastic voice and she is not the usual American record industry product.
What, I thought she is British, who ever she is, she makes me feels as if I am 16yrs. I am playing this song driving, speed a little bit and enjoy this life that full of hurts and trauma.

It was obviously playback.
Try Jon Secada Just another day Top of the pops live. Awesome. As is this one too.
How can a live performance sound exactly the same as the soundtrack!! Flawless!!!!
Yeah. Thank Heaven she was eventually allowed to rewrite some of the lyrics!
A brilliant singer listen to
Her sing with the golden hoarde
Brilliant
Actually got sing with her
A few times

Sign of quality
🌹❤️
I like her live versions of this song more than her studio version. Her voice sounds stronger in the live versions.
It says a lot about the music industry that someone like this was never hugely famous. What an incredible voice, especially in comparison to some others with far less talent, who were much more famous and successful.
I totally agree..her voice is simply devine!
Another such person...Jennifer Rush...Just listen to " I
am your lady..."
I am so obsessed with this song. Her vocals are unreal.
She was like 26 or something here, what the hell.
Original and true!
Me 2 : obsess ☝️😃
Sensational I wonder if she knows how good she is I doubt it 🇦🇺
Me too.❤
Always loved this song but never heard her sing it live / my God was worth the wait 🙏
I agree, I couldn't believe what I was hearing! Perfection.
What a voice, it makes me shivers
Same goes here, my God what a voice
That's not live, it's on playback!
Anyone watching this 33 years later and wondering where the years went.
yep
Oh my gosh ,I do. I read your comment and smile, what a song, take care.
Yup 😢
Oh yeah. It's like I fell asleep in my twenties and woke up in my fifties.
Yeah. It spins by doesn't it.

Her voice is astounding.
What a voice, and she was drop dead gorgeous here. Phew!
Holy crap, what a voice.
First time I've ever heard her sing this live, Her voice is incredible
I think she could sing this song live 1,000 times in a row and get it perfect 999 times. Wonderful.

But with this song all the longing, all the magic of a unique era blows over me.
A voice straight from heaven. What a gift.. just amazing.

How good is that, it hurts to think of the 70s, 80s and 90s - miss them so much.
her voice.. 100% perfect 👌🏻
I just got chills her voice, her charisma her calm confidence. The simplicity of her outfit the natural dancing. This is what it means to sing from the heart. The music industry in took advantage of us.
Voice of an angel, and she is honestly just so beautiful.

That part was heavenly indeed.😊
I prayed this video 10x just dancing… wondering where time went 54 and I was like 20 years old back then
Whatever Happened to Maria McKee!!!!!!!!! She Can’t Have Been Just a One Hit Wonder,With That Angelic Voice!!!!!!!!🤷🏻♀️🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
She is not, she wrote A good heart, and more great songs including two great albums with Lone Justice who also should have had a longer career.
@@aleksandersttem5734 Fergal Sharkey is excellent. Now a leading campaigner against sewage being dumped at sea in the UK, a major problem.
Check out Life Is Sweet album. Totally different mind you…: )
chills, love her voice
Goosebumps and Tears whenever I hear this Song. One of the Greatest Ever !!!
All this time I thought she was Irish 😆and it turns out she's American. She looks great, fantastic voice and she is not the usual American record industry product.

Sweet heavens what a voice.
What a real woman looks like . She's gorgeous .
Wat een stem !!!! Nog een echte zangeres ! En zo Naturel !!
She works magic with that production.
Perfect
Memories of 1990 - she's sooooo good!
MARIA McKEE -- posiada wspaniały wokal. Uwielbiam ten utwór muzyczny szczególnie. Uwielbiam wszystkie utwory muzyczne , które zapisałem w POLUBIONYCH FILMACH.

unfassbar gute Stimme😮 da kann kaum jemand mithalten, Wahnsinn!!
Thanks for posting. I saw her in London about 30 years ago...she was then the best female singer I had ever seen. Still is.
Wow. Great tune. Incredible live.
Loved this song forever. Maria has just the most amazing voice. Effortless.
I remember this song. As well as the movie. Real classic song even after 30+ years
just casually giving it all. respect.
Que voz linda ! ❤
Absolutely superb whoa live emotion right there
I was a huge fan, Saw LJ in 85, in G-ville. FL. but after she left LJ, She needed a band, and needed to smile a bit. just my 2C.
Phenomenal voice! Brilliant quality recording! Thanks for posting. 😬
Total Class. Truly amazing.
The audience aren't bothered by this perfect singing..
You'd think the price of admission to this show was a lobotomy.
It was a tv recording. They had orders to keep it down
