Just watching her is amazing. Laura's version of Power of Love is far superior to Celine or any other rendition. We miss you Laura. You were incredible.
I think Laura always seems sooo confident and wonderful when she sings. As soon as she's being questioned she's like a shy little girl. It's actually adorable to watch. Oh, why did she have to die so soon...sigh.
+bigmez83 Well, she was (is, for us who enjoy her singing) one of those few one-offs voices in the world.....among Ofra Haza, Whitney Houston and a dozen others....... www.thetouchsongs.com
Better than Celine could ever hope to be. The World lost a truly magnificent artist when she passed. Rest in peace Laura, the World will not forget you.
The best version of this song is sung by Laura Branigan and downloaded by amspeed. There Laura puts her emotions and delivery on display like I have never seen anyone except Barbara Striesand. Each jesture fits the words of the song perfectly. She blends the sentences and emotion together so well that it makes your hair stand on end and you want the song to never end.
The video displayed here is Laura singing but the one I think is her best is the one that is shown after this video ends and they give options of other video's. The one the amspeed placed on you tube is the one that is so unbelievably good.
Laura sang with the most HEART! Nothing can eclipse the genuine effort that she made and the talent which she possessed. She was even better at caring for others that were part of her life. What an incredible legacy she left us... an example for all of us to follow.
Laura was fantastic, one of those few singers that had a great, impressive and fabulous voice, and didn't had to rely on her beauty or some sexy outfits.
Laura was very genuine, like the girl next door. She worked so hard to be the best that she could be(voice lessons etc.). She had a difficult life. She overcame childhood stresses and endured great losses in her life(husband for one). Through it all she kept on giving and the love she had for others was unmistakable. She was CLASSY. Her example was one that all entertainers should follow. A true gift from God that we miss so much! Peace and joy in Heaven Laura.
Originally heard Laura sing this, and in my heart she will always be the best that ever sang this song. I love Celine... and never heard Jennifer do it, but Laura was one of my faves in the 80's. Sorry, but i have to give my vote to her. May she RIP.
I was maybe 3 or 4 years old and one of my earliest memories is of The Incomparable Laura Brandigan singing Gloria on TV. I remember thinking this woman is so beautiful & strong & sings so beautifully! She sincerely had an impact on this pre-schooler
I always gagged on Celine Dion's version of this song because it sounds so desperate and dishonest, but Laura really sounds like she means it and makes it a powerful song with a totally different feel. I had no idea she passed away in 2004...so sad. I grew up listening to her and loved her smooth gritty voice. There's none like her.
What a powerful voice, I can listen to her over, and over. All her songs were /are great. Ti Amo is wonderful. You live forever in our hearts and our minds. You are not forgotten.
great performer laura branigan was. The host of this show.. kind a stupid.. what a questions !!! please.. Laura was so humble and nice with this woman... LAURA BRANIGAN ALWAYS A NICE LADY
Celine, Mariah and a host of others have great voices and some great songs. They are all great in their own right and should be proud. This "Lady" is without doubt one of the very best and will forever be remembered as such. Lets us not forget her and her efforts. One of the all time greatest singers of our time. Our biggest loss is that she left us at such an early age. I for one will always remember her and her efforts.God Bless and Rest in Peace Laura!
+Juliana Olmetti hell yes so true...laura will always best for this song she had so much uniqueness and depth in her powerful vocals that keeps u glued to her magical voice
Beautiful 1982 till now 2019 sing shine in heaven my beautiful angel love and miss ya always never in a million years I wont never never rest for now you deserve 2 c u when I get there I will find you xx
This is the most beautifully sung song ever, it's just dazzling ... the emotion and depth, sincerity with which she sings is amazing. I am sorry I only got to learn about her now when it's too late ... although I heard all of her songs just never connected the voice with the person. But anyway her music will live forever. And she seemed such a nice girl here in interview, shy even. I love it really. RIP Laura
An absolutely awesome rendition of this song. This lady was nothing but class from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Her voice has raw,raspy sound which is awesome, a powerful much like Bonnie Tyler, sad thing for us, she is now gracing Gods choir and am very excited of hearing her in that choir.
I was heart broken when I heard she had passed away. Far too young, far too beautiful, far too talented to die so soon. How I wish I could have sung with her just once.
Laura's version is very different form original Jennifer's. I think that "rock" voice of Laura best suits the meaning of this song. That's why I put Laura in front of Jennifer, even if she wrote it. Celine, her astounding voice aside, come in third place... by far!
et Hélène FISCHER , " la ptite dernière " , vous connaissez ? ; c'est une bombe à tous points de vue et une merveille de chanteuse , reine du style schlager et numéro 1 en Allemagne depuis plus de cinq ans
This is my second best song ever. My favorite song is "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. I can relate to this song perfectly. I can't help getting chills down my spine everytime I hear it. Whenever I feel low, I listen to this song full blast and I always feel better afterwards. I love you Laura! You were the BEST!!!!
What a powerful and emotional singer...a class act from the 1980's ...Such a range in her voice, many song grammy awarded, Associated with "Flashdance' and many wonderful sound tracks of a great musical time period. Her voice is full of overtones, whether in disco mode in Gloria, or in "Self control", there is joy, sadness and such richness in her voice....truly will miss her. So tragic to die at 47 and no coverage in news media
Nyjadnyjad. you are so right, there is only one who can sing power of love, its Laura. :-) I miss her . Belive she is sitting in the blue sky, and sings for the engels :-))
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! - so sad she is no more.....and those two who might have been able sing this way are no longer with us too - Whitney and Ofra Haza,,,,, What a voice!!!
nothing compares to it!!!! Sad fact that other vocalists were so appreciated for singing it, but it is obvious she DID it BEST !!!! How come her talent & voice were not noticed as they really should be !!!!!!
Touch is a great album... Branigan's voice sounds so high and powerful..this studio version is the best version of this song ever... GREAT RANGE...GREAT VOICE I LOVE THIS LADY
Laura was underrated masterpiece. She had many beautiful ballads and happy dance/disco/pop songs unlike boring and monotonous Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Her voice was impressive and I really miss her
This should have been a huge hit for Laura. It was a hard song for stations to play sometimes for it was a ballad that was too loud for the mellow stations (back then they didn't play anything but soft songs) and too mellow for a lot of pop music stations. Kiss 108 in Boston played it a lot and it came in #1 on thier countdowns thanks to Sunny Jo White (the program director) who LOVED Laura Branigan!
je découvre cette version interprétée par une chanteuse" hors normes" je suis époustouflé qu'elle voix , tu fais parti de ma vie et merci pour ce que tu m'as apporté
Lagu ini selalu menangiskanku ketika aku baru mulai beranjak dewasa.ketika itu aku jatuh cinta kepada seorang wanita yang lebih dewasa.dia seorang guru dan aku seorang murid.aku selalu teringat ketika dia memberikan segalanya kepadaku.dan aku semakin terenyuh ketika kami tak sengaja mendengar lagu ini.semoga tuhan memberikan kebaikan kepada kami dan juga Laura branigan.
it would have been nice to hear them sing this song together, it would have been an powerful song, by two beautyful ladys with two amazing voices, what a wonderful experience it would have been. i thank both of them for giving as this beautyful song, lets cheerish it forever thank you.
Not sure why others need to put down others just to boost Laura Brannigan. However, I will say I love her songs, and her voice was inspiring. I bet singers of today had looked up to women singers such as Laura as she is a fine artist! Enjoy!
I LOVE Laura's version of Power of LOVE,RIP our DEAREST LAURA.
Just watching her is amazing. Laura's version of Power of Love is far superior to Celine or any other rendition. We miss you Laura. You were incredible.
She sure was.....!!!!

several million times every day I do not change in admiration and love for the song and him
Damn that awkward interview with Joy, wtf! Respect the music royalty in front of you, what a humble spirit Laura was.
What a song the best version in my opinion Loved her rest in peace gone too soon
She has such a powerful voice, Laura's version is my favorite.
Mine too.....!!!!
Acaso hay alguien más que pueda hacerle frente ella es única
i never heard a woman sing so many beautyful songs with such an incredible voice, she knew how to get the best out her voice, amazing
Awesome, never tire of listening to Laura sing this song. Best cover of this song ever.
She had such a sweet, powerful and beautiful voice.
great singer, she's one of a kind in her own time and these days.
I think Laura always seems sooo confident and wonderful when she sings. As soon as she's being questioned she's like a shy little girl. It's actually adorable to watch. Oh, why did she have to die so soon...sigh.
This is her best live performance for the power of love.
One of the most beautiful and UNDER-APPRECIATED ladies to ever grace the stage. Ms. Branigan will live on through her music.
To me the best performance (maybe not in this video, but overall) of perhaps the best female voice ever. Amazing
+bigmez83 oh hell yes well said :) laura was so amazing as always a voice that will never fade so fresh
+bigmez83 Well, she was (is, for us who enjoy her singing) one of those few one-offs voices in the world.....among Ofra Haza, Whitney Houston and a dozen others.......

Such passion and range! There's no one that can hold a candle to Laura. May she rest in peace.
Better than Celine could ever hope to be. The World lost a truly magnificent artist when she passed. Rest in peace Laura, the World will not forget you.
There can never be another Laura.
My all time favourite singer, I like her powerful voice

Ed, I agree 100% with you.
17 sick whatever they are. Great song sung brilliantly. My love & I have great memories of this song. RIP Laura, your songs will live for a long time.
She had such a pretty voice, really sad she gone. All the good ones die young. :'(
I know this is Live...and unlike most singers today, she sounds great when singing live as well as in the recording...
Laura sang with the most HEART! Nothing can eclipse the genuine effort that she made and the talent which she possessed. She was even better at caring for others that were part of her life. What an incredible legacy she left us... an example for all of us to follow.

I can't ever get tired of listening to Laura's interpretation of the song !
I agree with you on that. I love this song and I think Laura, Celine, and Jen are all amazing!
Originally heard Laura sing this, and in my heart she will always be the best that ever sang this song. I love Celine... and never heard Jennifer do it, but Laura was one of my faves in the 80's. Sorry, but i have to give my vote to her. May she RIP.
Way,way way underrated,there will never be another Laura Branigan,we love u darling.
+80s guru yesss true...people today dont know the worth of legendary singers all they know is crap
I was maybe 3 or 4 years old and one of my earliest memories is of The Incomparable Laura Brandigan singing Gloria on TV. I remember thinking this woman is so beautiful & strong & sings so beautifully! She sincerely had an impact on this pre-schooler

Laura gave her heart and soul in this Song. She puts so much emphasis into each word, a gifted voice.
True talent and true, beautiful music. I miss you Laura!!
Heard them all sing this, but nobody has the raw power and emotion of Laura Nranigan.
An Icon, one of a kind and also one of the very best. We are lucky to have heard her in our time. Bless you Laura and God rest your soul.
What a powerful voice, I can listen to her over, and over. All her songs were /are great. Ti Amo is wonderful. You live forever in our hearts and our minds.
You are not forgotten.
Wow! What a voice! She was an awesome 80's singer. She will never be forgotten. Thats a shame that she passed away. I never knew. :(

+Juliana Olmetti hell yes so true...laura will always best for this song she had so much uniqueness and depth in her powerful vocals that keeps u glued to her magical voice
The studio version of this song is rare... one of those few songs that gives me such chills. Miss Laura.

No existe nadie como ella hoy saludos al cielo amor
Beautiful woman and such a beautiful voice! Best version of this song in my opinion, Jennifer and Celine were great but nothing compared to Laura.
This is the most beautifully sung song ever, it's just dazzling ... the emotion and depth, sincerity with which she sings is amazing. I am sorry I only got to learn about her now when it's too late ... although I heard all of her songs just never connected the voice with the person. But anyway her music will live forever. And she seemed such a nice girl here in interview, shy even. I love it really. RIP Laura
The best at this song (and any other song she sang). I always anxiously awaited every new album. I hope she knew how strongly her fans felt about her.
An absolutely awesome rendition of this song. This lady was nothing but class from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Her voice has raw,raspy sound which is awesome, a powerful much like Bonnie Tyler, sad thing for us, she is now gracing Gods choir and am very excited of hearing her in that choir.
The studio version of this song is rare... one of those few songs that gives mu such chills. Miss Laura.
Such talent!!! RIP Laura
Absolutely fantastic performance. This and "Gloria" - timeless.
I was heart broken when I heard she had passed away. Far too young, far too beautiful, far too talented to die so soon.
How I wish I could have sung with her just once.
She was my fave. RIP Laura sweetheart.
Laura's version is very different form original Jennifer's.
I think that "rock" voice of Laura best suits the meaning of this song.
That's why I put Laura in front of Jennifer, even if she wrote it.
Celine, her astounding voice aside, come in third place... by far!
et Hélène FISCHER , " la ptite dernière " , vous connaissez ? ; c'est une bombe à tous points de vue et une merveille de chanteuse , reine du style schlager et numéro 1 en Allemagne depuis plus de cinq ans
Love her RANGE... Her deep voice is amazing and can still reach her higher levels. We will Miss her.
I Love this song and I Alwais remember you. You are in my Heart. Love U Laura.
laura branigan was my favorite female singer of all time. i think she had the best voice true blue you were laura! God bless you
Excellent voice, full of emotion such a power i love it
Laura put much more heart into it. The others could not sing it this well in a live performance!!!
This is my second best song ever. My favorite song is "I will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. I can relate to this song perfectly. I can't help getting chills down my spine everytime I hear it. Whenever I feel low, I listen to this song full blast and I always feel better afterwards. I love you Laura! You were the BEST!!!!
Laura sang a cover of I Will Survive in Germany in about 1978 b 4 yrs before she hit it big w Gloria. UTube has it.
What a powerful and emotional singer...a class act from the 1980's ...Such a range in her voice, many song grammy awarded, Associated with "Flashdance' and many wonderful sound tracks of a great musical time period. Her voice is full of overtones, whether in disco mode in Gloria, or in "Self control", there is joy, sadness and such richness in her voice....truly will miss her. So tragic to die at 47 and no coverage in news media
She seemed very shy even uncomfortable talking to Joy after the song was over. Great song btw :)
Nyjadnyjad.
you are so right, there is only one who can sing power of love, its Laura. :-)
I miss her . Belive she is sitting in the blue sky, and sings for the engels :-))
I really liked her... So sad she died so early in life... What a beautiful and very talented Lady... God Bless.
Lovely singing of the highest order.Brava! TY.
Not not miss out on the interview after the song. It rocks. They can not make interviews lite this these days. It seems not only music have declined.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! - so sad she is no more.....and those two who might have been able sing this way are no longer with us too - Whitney and Ofra Haza,,,,,
What a voice!!!
Laura was pure, raw talent. What a great loss to us all.
nothing compares to it!!!! Sad fact that other vocalists were so appreciated for singing it, but it is obvious she DID it BEST !!!! How come her talent & voice were not noticed as they really should be !!!!!!
Touch is a great album... Branigan's voice sounds so high and powerful..this studio version is the best version of this song ever... GREAT RANGE...GREAT VOICE I LOVE THIS LADY
I miss her... :'(
Unique cry in her VOICE
this voice is speciial, it gives that extra that so many singers cant find
she is in a class of her own. too bad she is no longer alive
Wow! What a revelation!! I had NO idea she did this song before Celine Dion! Thanks for posting....
she has the most powerful voice, what a loss for music lovers, rip laura:(.....
memorable song that bring back so much memories back in 1988 during my college days... the best version ever...
I agree...Laura is one of the very few singers who sound good live..
there are no words. She touches an inner chord in me that inspires.....
Laura was underrated masterpiece. She had many beautiful ballads and happy dance/disco/pop songs unlike boring and monotonous Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Her voice was impressive and I really miss her
Laura was an outstanding singer......and a beautiful lady.....!!!!
This should have been a huge hit for Laura.

Wow, this girl was giving it some! Amazing performance.
Laura's gone but Joy remains to torment us. Life really isn't fair.
Lagu ini selalu menangiskanku ketika aku baru mulai beranjak dewasa.ketika itu aku jatuh cinta kepada seorang wanita yang lebih dewasa.dia seorang guru dan aku seorang murid.aku selalu teringat ketika dia memberikan segalanya kepadaku.dan aku semakin terenyuh ketika kami tak sengaja mendengar lagu ini.semoga tuhan memberikan kebaikan kepada kami dan juga Laura branigan.
Laura you was pure talent !! .. you are sorely missed xxx
such a beautiful voice! i get the chills when i hear her sing. love all her songs, solitaire is a great " tell him(off) like it is" song
The best, the very best. No way to do this song better.
He estado escuchando otras cantantes con esta cancion y por su potencia y voz es nuestra Laurita la mejor de todas,sin duda,alguna, la mejor.
Hit #19 AC, #26 pop in Billboard. RIP, Laura. God bless!
She brings so much to this song a star with an ability to encompass the heart body and mind the trinity! Blessings to her memory a classy siren!
it would have been nice to hear them sing this song together, it would have been an powerful song, by two beautyful ladys with two amazing voices, what a wonderful experience it would have been. i thank both of them for giving as this beautyful song, lets cheerish it forever thank you.
The best version of the song PERIOD!
such power and passion and love put into this..............fantastic
LOVE YOU LAYRA BRANIGAN
Last top 40 hit for Laura. Hit #26 in Billboard.
Not sure why others need to put down others just to boost Laura Brannigan. However, I will say I love her songs, and her voice was inspiring. I bet singers of today had looked up to women singers such as Laura as she is a fine artist! Enjoy!
She's one of our great and best female singer.
I love a good singer, Laura is one of them pure quality Singers. Freddie Mercury being the best
wow - no autotune and she's not lip synching - take me back
Kaikkien aikojen paras versio.Laura oli paras kaikista.
Power and Emotion beyond this world. None better.
WOW, What a genius singer, eh? I just love her, and she was really pretty!
