Strange’, Strange’. 👏🏾
Grace is absolutely golden in this song. Paired with these visuals it always feels like I’m in a museum.
Can totally get that
Whoever requested this is a genius, and you have my thanks. 😄
Watching this now makes me wonder whether Grace Jones was underrated in her time. Back then it seemed like most observers pigeonholed her as just a fun, wacky performer. But looking back it's clear that she was a consummate artist.
Interesting ‼️
She did this song live at The Bluedot Festival at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire, last year while hula hooping!!! Sensational. Total class.
She’s soooo very arty, darling!
This is a ripper from Grace. She had such sass and fire. Real funky tune this one!
Great track 👌
She was a class-act
💯💯
You are amazing, Lady Empress. Great open mind. I love Grace Jones. A force, an enigma a true queen. This video was revolutionary at the time. So emblematic of Andy Warhol and his work with Grace. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
@@EmpressReacts I adore your reactions. Great channel!
In the 80’s, I was in my 20s! Everything was a form of Art. And Grace Jones was always linked with a kind of avant-gard performances.
It always sounds like Grace Jones is creating music in a genre that doesn’t exist yet.
😂💯
***...HEEEEEEEEEERE'S GRACE!! TRIVIA TIME!!*** ...become a S-L-A-V-E to it....(4:45).....
- ....jeez, SO much trivia on this One.......this was SUPPOSED to be ONE SONG (Produced by Trevor Horn), and wound up becoming an ART project; the group Frankie Goes To Hollywood was supposed to sing this tune, but it was re-created to fit Grace.......
- ....and, did it EVER! ...Then the 'Song' became an Album....but different artistic variations of the SAME SONG! ....this version is the "Ladies & Gentlemen" version, for Radio....the tune became a HUGE comeback tune for Grace, getting her G-a-y, Bl-ack, & Dance audiences back, BIG-TYME....
- ...She hit #1 Dance (Jan. 1986), and it became a WORLDWIDE hit.....the VIDEO became ICONIC (1:56), also, because it was a melange of artistic tributes to Grace throughout her career, done by Artist Jean Paul Goude, showing controversial elements through it (like the G-a-y Boys 0:56) & some footage from European commercials.....
- ...The Video is STILL being reference by Kim K, Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga....it....is....I-C-O-N-I-C...........Grace is, TOO .....(2:45).......
I def see the influence!
Grace is a one off. Pull Up to the Bumper and La Vien Rose are two of her great songs. She was also one of the most striking models of all time.
Empress has reacted to both of those songs as well as “I’m Not Perfect...”. I hope to see “My Jamaican Guy” in the near future. ✌🏽
Thank you Grace Jones for everything….art, fashion, music, style, blurring sexuality, uniqueness….wow
The video is made up of the work of Jean Paul Goude, who was Grace's boyfriend and she his muse in the late 70's/early 80's. Some of it is from work he did for adverts, some of it his videos/photography with Grace and for her One Man Show video concert, which is why it really makes no sense as a whole!
Empress I have never seen this video and it really encapsulates everything about Grace Jones IMO! I was always so fascinated by her growing up because she seemed so fearless in the way she carried herself and how she approached her art and still does. She always seems to skip to the beat of her own drum and doesn’t seem to give a shhh what people think of her. 😂
I totally agree!
I was a kid back then but the video to me didn’t seem weird, it just looked like art.
‼️love that
Still excites me. Amazing song, and the impact she had then. And the video is still ahead of the time. We had no problem with it in Europe. Isn't she French originally?
In the 80's things were more accepted than today. Grace Jones is making art here. I wasn't shocked, I thought it was cool! Love her!
Isn’t that strange as today is supposedly the open to everything era
If you were lucky enough to grow up in CA or the Tri-state areas during the 70s and early 80s, you were not shocked. We were neither sheltered nor coddled by our parents or society. Our PG movies would be R-NC17 today. Our music was openly raunchy. We learned about periods and puberty in the 5th grade. Sex Ed was actually sexual education. And we didn't need our mommy and daddy's permission either. It was in 10th the semester before or after driver's ed. We entered college street smart and much tougher than subsequent gens
Also, ty for reacting to this song. The album is more than worth a listen
Original video, great lyrics, and insanely great arrangements. Not weird, rather artistic expression. It's easy for a current generation to look back and judge, but we lived for all of this when it was first released, and were wowed! Younger artists would have drawn ideas from this video and the photography.
Finding this video scary since 1985 😱
😂
❤❤❤
Please review I'm Not Perfect....But I'm Perfect For You. It was produced by Nile Rodgers from CHIC.
She already did it! ❤
Grace Jones! Thank you! A marvelous performance!
🧡🔥😂 Notice that Go-Go beat all up and through there? 😜 Go JuJu go Ju Go! That was JuJu from E.U on this. TFS!
now since you've mentioned it!
This video was wild and gave some iconic imagery. This style seems to fit Grace perfectly. This video still stands out from the crowd just like Grace.
💯💯
I remember the Do You Really Want To Hurt Me reaction. Another 80s video with blackface.
There was a lot of esthetic rebeliusness in those days, and none of the discussions we are having now about reoresentation and priviledge.
The artist was Grace lover for a time and she was part of the esthetic world that made him huge. But what i find amazing is how Grace is SO iconic and GIGANTIC in her presence that she towers over the french gaze. She kinda takes over the imaginarium. She knows whats up.
Hey, even the title of the song can be seen as suspishshshhhh by todays standards 😅
Amazing lady, and artist. Very underrated and missunderstood.
I adore this song. The production is heaven. Very modern and classical at the same time.
excellent point!
It always makes me smile your introduction! The actor Ian McShane lends the voice to the introduction of this video. Grace Jones is a really great artist, with unique creativity. She is also exceptionally fit for someone in their mid 70s! This is one of my favourite songs by her, as well as Private Life.
Thank you!
Now this is not just a music video this is art 🥰🥰🥰
‼️🔥
I love her ❤
🔥
Given the nudity in the video I'm surprised that MTV ran it at all, much less nominate it for Best Female Video. I remember hearing the song on the radio a few times back then, but I don't remember the video because Jones released it my freshman year of college and there was no cable TV in the dorms and I was too busy that year to watch much television anyway.
...I can answer that Mike....MTV ran THREE c-e-nsored versions, which were more playable, and ironically, ONE scene caused problems.....(4:13) ....THIS scene, was from a Wine cooler comm-ercial that didn't give clearance to use the footage, and Grace's label had to pay A LOT of moolah to keep it in......
Oh wow!
Back when the XTC was legal and Fresh!
Oh wow😂
