The 80's were actually a really good decade for recording techniques, technology and excellence. I didn't take it for granted, I sought it out, and production values were there in spades. Garage Band was nowhere in sight, nor were there amateurs at the mixing desk.
Alison Moyet has one of the most amazing voices. In the 80s and even now, she was and still is iconic. That talent, that voice, the music. beautiful songs and very impressive, touching and heartwarming. Beautiful and timeless music.
No Contest - Alison Moyet wins hands down. I hate the way the music industry shunned Alison in the '80s ignored for one-hit wonders instead of talent and yes she still has that beautiful voice today.
They're both brilliant. There doesn't have to be all this "she's better than..." stupidity. It's merely opinion, and if you can't see that, your own opinion is worthless.
and who do you think uses autotune..? and do you know what it actually does to a vocal..? name the artistes who you think use it.. adele and billie eilish dont for starters
J'ai 54 ans, quand j'ai écouté Alison Moyet j'avais 18 ans ça été le coup de foudre vocalement, C'est sans doute une des plus grande voix musicale, malheureusement pas mis en avant par les chaines musicales (trop industriel) qui perdure dans le temps. Musicalement vocalement exceptionnel 🥰💯🙏
She wasnt underrated. In the 80s Alison Moyet was the best female vocalist and everyone knew it. That was then this is now but her voice is there for all to hear...
Yes she was lauded as the best female for many years in the 80s, the fact that youngsters today do not know who she is shows that the media today is utterly forgetful about how great the 80s was ... so many acts in the 80s are already forgotten even though they were played in every street corners then ... Human forgetfulness is very sad indeed ...
Many people wrote that she’s an underrated singer. Guys, she was a million seller artist back in the 80’s. Alf and Raindancing each stayed for more than a year in the charts and sold a million copies each. She had a number one album with Yazoo in 83 too. She had a number one Best Of album in 95 that went platinum in the UK. Maybe the new generation under appreciate her but she was a superstar in the 80’s from 82 to 88. Let’s not forget that she won many Brit awards too and was nominated for a Grammy in 91.
look man when she did that Situation track she had the south bronx bananas with that joint . it was sampled but everyone hit the dancefloor when the original one came out. situation stills packs the floors in NYC.
Reading these comments is really refreshing - they're all written properly & sincerely. Is that because people that listen to Alison Moyet are geniuses? Or because they're now older, & uphold standards from years before, such as being able to write with at least some degree of intelligence? Probably a 50/50 of each! Commenters here, I salute you!

Best female singer..she was not given enough credit..Adele ..no comparison..if Alison was starting out now would be even more phenomenal..and never became a diva..love her...❤
For years I thought she was actually a man apologies Alison but someone told me she was a bloke and being young and a bit gullible I believed them but I always loved her voice uniquely distinctive and immediately recognisable
Yes I never get tired of her voice , her Burberry fashion show concert is incredible, her voice is just as good maybe a bit smoother, and she has definitely turned into a very beautiful woman
Ich war ein Maedchen in Ost-Berlin als der Song raus kam. Und hatte Liebeskummer. Und trotzdem ist es bis heute mein Lieblings- Song. Alison, i love you.♥♥♥
This song is such an emotional ride. "All Cried Out" are words that go right to your heart. Everyone has gone through a loss. This one her best songs and performances
Alison Moyet was one of the all-time great female vocalists. It is a shame that she never really broke into the US charts in a big way, the Yanks missed out there.
+david stanley in 80-ies was big competition and 1000+ good groups&singers was fighting for their piece of cake on market!! Michael Jackson ,Maddona,Prince and few others takes biggest piece of that cake
Please! Sh'es not the only one. You bleeding Americans completely missed out on the great Kim Wilde! The 80s was brilliant but no one put out more artistically varied yet excellent albums and singles and b-sides than she did, yet all you bothered with 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' and that 'Kids' start that mentiones the wretched country. Then there's German songstress Sandra, plus China Crisis, German band Alphaville which are cool as A-ha-whom you also ignored. Then there's Claudia Brucken, Crowded House beyond 1988, T'Pau, Big Country, Deacon Blue, Erasue-even ABBA and both Abba girls's solo out put. In fact there's no end to your mistakes in the US! What did any other country HAVE to do. Are the songs just too compilcated, too unlike any rubbish from your own shores. It's just all about the shit that is Madogga the vile, Michael Jackson, Prince, Bon Jovi and all the rap and country stuff and nothing else gets a look in. Alison Moyet is just ONE of many crimes the US committed when they carried on ignoring every other country's stuff apart from their own, yet expect idiotic ourselves to LOVE ALL thier stuff!
I was a nursing student in England, in my 20s when this came out. I'm in my mid 60s now, and close to retiring. It's still as good and fresh as 40 years ago and brings back so many great memories. ❤
I remember hearing Alison Moyet sing this great song ( All cried out ) over 40years ago, it still sounds great after all this time. Would be nice to see Alison Moyet back making music sound great.
@@blundin4165 it's true coz I can't read/speak English back then didn't know it's a she until this anonymous video came into my RUclips recommended daily list
@@jane1975 thanks for the info. Over here, the MTV channel only aired her don't go and 1 more song where he wears men attire with short hair. That's why I didn't know Yazoo is a she.
Stunning voice that never disappoints even after all these years. Good times good music, I was lucky to have grown up through this era of music, who's with me
I was lucky enough too attend Alison’s concert at St Davids Hall, it’s a memory I will hold for ever. To say this concert was good, it was phenomenal. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a vocal wonder! Only a few in the music circus of this world can match Alison, can even come close to her - perhaps Adele, Alannah Myles or Lisa Stansfield. This vocal power - simply unique in the music world. Alison really deserves more sustained fame and attention. I love this underrated woman. What I wouldn't give for more from her - especially in the style of the 80s. Alison, I love you!
My favorite female vocalist, so unique, have quite a few of her cds. And a great healing song when going thru divorce. Never seen her live but still hoping
The voice they all aspire to on the X Shows - the reality, you can't buy a performance such as this. She was the best and the song does total justice to her dynamic, vocal, genius. Tremendous range.
Alisons voice is like a comfort blanket. Heard her on the radio as a child, and instantly loved her. Distinctive, sensual, booming, powerful, I could go on. Modern singers could learn a thing or three ...
1980s eyeshade needs a comeback!
Her voice is strength incarnate.
what a voice, still gives chills!
Best british singer when i was growing up. Very under rated
Underrated? she was a worldwide best selling artist.
Nearly 40 years on. The voice, the production, the vibe are all there. Blown away again. We took it for granted at the time.
Deserves the recognition that Adele has .....unfortunately it wasnt to be
The 80's were actually a really good decade for recording techniques, technology and excellence. I didn't take it for granted, I sought it out, and production values were there in spades. Garage Band was nowhere in sight, nor were there amateurs at the mixing desk.
Everyone loved Alison in the 80s. Cool as f

The Adele of the 80s

I'll never forget the first time I heard her.
From a 59 years old Irishman fan Wonderful song Amazing singer
Everyone is drooling over Adelle, yet we have Alison here... underrated and unappreciated...
Amazing deep and rich voice.
She still amazing. She her live now.

She was,is,by far better than Adele
totally agree
She was the best British female pop singer of the 80s in my opinion.
I’ll agree with that.
I think she was one of the only one that came out then
Indeed she was... such charisma ❤
YES
What about Kate Bush?
Simply one of the greatest female artists
Haven't heard these songs in like 20 years. I forgot how great this lady is. Brilliant artist.
One of THE GREAT songs of our times ❤!Perfection!
I was a Teenager in the 80s. I have never forgot her voice , wonderful time to be a Teenager :)

@@xsm5525😂
The most underrated female power singer of the 80s.

She's not underrated now and she wasn't back then. The word overrated is totally overrated and overused.
agree
Disagree, she is well recognized
and yet the best of them all/?

Idem . J'en ai 62 et je me rappelle très bien de ce titre .
All Cried Out is my favourite Alison Moyet song of All-time. Allan Black.
She wasnt underrated. In the 80s Alison Moyet was the best female vocalist and everyone knew it. That was then this is now but her voice is there for all to hear...
Very true. Also, Annie Lennox was up there.

Wife and I saw Alison earlier this year in Nottingham. What a concert, she still got it, TIMELESS !!!
Love Adele but this woman’s voice knocks her into the middle of next week it must be said. So much power simply incredible.
I think I like her better than Adele, not to say that Adele isn’t great because she is
..good point, I liked the Adle hit ... but this song - think I'll go to the library and check the CD
Asmell better get on.
stop comparing Alison to Adele.Alison is on a way higher level then Adele could hope to be!!!
I totally agree❤
Love this woman's voice - so deep and rich - love the vibrato and strong resonance - a truly distinctive sound...............
Lorraine Ashby . Your right on.
It's called a CONTRALTO voice, unfortunately something that's becoming rare in today's Pop music arena...
Great singing voice.

Seriously one of the best female vocal performances ever. What a powerhouse vocal, such soulful and heartfelt pain in this song. Incredible.
A superb song that stands the test of time. A classic. Great lyrics, great vocals, great melody , great delivery. It's everything.

Alison Moyet was one of the all-time great female vocalists. It is a shame that she never really broke into the US charts in a big way, the Yanks missed out there.
She has been made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Makes a change it's somebody really deserving, as opposed to some corrupt politician.
An absolute masterpiece
It really bothers me that this beautiful person never hit it big in the US.We Americans really missed the boat on this one.

Aretha Franklin and Alison Moyet, best female vocalists ever
Does she know what a superb musician she is? and what a superb voice she has?
1984 & 1985 two fantastic years for great music
All the 80s were and the 90s.
Every year since the beginning of time, great year for music!
The 80s were the best ever.
What about 183?!
for me the peak of 80's Pop creativity. all downhill from there
still an awesome song even in 2022!
Still a good track in 2023

Der Song kam mir wieder in den Sinn aus traurigen Gründen. Und er hat die ganze Zeit auf mich gewartet. Thank You Alison!
I just heard this song today. I'm only 19, and I do have an appreciation for 80's music primarilybecause of my parents.

Still listen to this song already since 1985. Such good voice you have and you sing with all the meaning, LOVE YOU ALISON!
Released in 1984.
Amazing vocals, todays artists fade into insignificance compared to what we had in the 80’s...Alison was absolutely a class act. What a voice
She is still great! Saw her last night in Eindhoven and she was amazing!
Still to this day, I love Alison's music....
The same MTV I watched back then 80's!
My partner just said Adele was amazing and the best she had heard !!!
Then I played this for her !!!!!
Say no more ......
hahah!! Always learning baby! ;)
mneary41 exactly, no contest, Alf has amazing voice
Yeah, and yet again Alf has been passed over to do a Bond film theme 😢
Hell, Adele and Allison Moyet look alike!!!

Magnificent voice combined with magnificent lyrics...............superb!
What an amazing voice! They don’t make them like they did back in the 80s and 90s music has never been the same as it was in those days
She Was fantastic then and she still is today , what a voice , nothing ( in my opinion) compares with Alison .
Best female pipes on the planet... love watching her clips..

Annie Lennox would technically be Scotland .
Alison Moyet was part French.
And Kate Bush too!
