I agree except I feel weird about the instrumental during the chorus, it feels slightly altered from the original. It feels more like a steady beat than the Tom fill punchy funk sound on the album - which to me is the best part of the song and what makes the chorus punch so hard, like you can tell how cruel of a summer it is lol that punch in the heart feeling from that part is so good. But it might just be me idk lol could be my sound or the live setup dampening it.
I’m 64 worked for a Cable company back in 83-86 and I had MTV on all day in my office. When Cruel Summer came on with the sound off I thought OK 3 pretty chics and a silly video then I turned the sound on and was like wow! Was a Beatles, Badfinger, Pink Floyd, Chicago and Moody Blues fan but I liked them a lot! Not just easy on the eyes but a great sound. My friends at the time were like this is bubble gum music? Well I never thought so! Now my buddies daughters still listen to them along with the Beatles, Kiss and other 60’s, 70’s and 80’s groups.
This was my television highlight of 2017! I was so very happy. I just happened to be at my parents (who always quite liked them) - they were amazed at how naturally attractive all three of them were still looking. Then I saw them live in Brighton - a memory to cherish.
WOW! That was good! They sounded excellent and all look smashing. What a class act. And Siobhan looks like she's having such a terrific time--her energy and delight are palpable. What a pleasure to see her back with her original mates.
It's so cute. The reaction of the other celebs. An icon like Harrison Ford, himself, swooning. Even Reese seemed starstruck & shy - with Margot girl-crushing at her side. & the B-girls absolutely down-to-earth. Supersweet.
They have the same beautiful voice than the 80's and they still are beautiful women...damn , that I dance on their songs, one of my favorite groups of the 80's...most of the singers from Britain are the bests !!!
The ladies look and sound fantastic!! Please come to the United States on your tour!! When I heard Siobhan was back I could not believe it. I will take Bananarama all day long over 99.9% of the crap music out there in 2017!!
You can say that again in 2019... Music just seems to be going more and more downhill... They're all pretty forgettable. I doubt that people will be singing a Nikki Minaj or Cardi B song in 30 years' time...
These women are incredibly talented and amazingly gorgeous! Their dance moves and vocals are fantastic. It would be incredible to play a bluesy solo and fills throughout the song. Lots of extra creative things, on top of their wonderfully global hit. 🎸🎸🤟🤟
They look and still sound amazing performing live 34 years after this song 1st came out in 1983'' . This song still goes hard And always been 1 of my favorite 80s babies classics that brings back good childhood memories of the early mid 80s.🎶😎
Amazing that hey have provided us all with this smooth, sexy, easy sound for so many years...Aprefect blend of pop and chill..... thnx from the heart and well done!
I love all these three ladies, they make me travel back to a great age of my life...their song mixed with that Karate Kid scene, which starts when Daniel heads in his bike to school is iconic.
I love it . . in 2019....waooooooh...😃😃😃...in my childhood my love this band. I think these three ladies seneor than me . but i love there fantastic music..cruel summer
so many watching dont realise the significance of this, these guys were doing this in the 80s and for them to put on a performance like this some 30 years later is just insane
True Confessions is the best album the girls ever made. Ready Or Not, Dance With A Stranger, Do Not Disturb, Promised Land, etc. Still listening in my car with the volume up.
Amazing pop masterpiece by my favourite "girlband". Great video, great production, wow ... I almost lost 4 words. I played it on my little local queer radio show "Pink Channel". Thx!!!
This sounds just as good as the original, if not better. Clean and crisp. The vocals sound fabulous!!!

You mean you cant tell they are miming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...specsavers
@@drainedeyes4268 Yeah the music was changed to be more like the crappy dance music they did after this era.
Yes!!! Loved it ❤️
@@newyorkrovers You are a loser and your mom is a whore.
These beauties have stood the test of time, still as amazing today as they were in the beginning. True talent.
This was absolutely amazing!!! You can see how happy they are to be back together. Hope to see them live on stage in London soon.
Wish I could buy this version it’s so updated and Beaty. Love it
easily downloaded. get the app 4k RUclips to mp3, couldn't be easier.

Still sounding amazing!
im 55 and still in love with these " Girls " Venussssss
What an amazing performance. Love the choreographed head turns to camera. They look absolutely amazing.
Seeing them together again makes me feel so good!

Lovely to see Bananarama back performing this song again and sounding and looking as good as ever. 80's Legends!
They were 80's Mega Stars, for sure !!
Proof that beautiful woman only get more beautiful with time.
Great Performance. Music, the only true time travel.
WOW! That was good! They sounded excellent and all look smashing. What a class act. And Siobhan looks like she's having such a terrific time--her energy and delight are palpable. What a pleasure to see her back with her original mates.
My favourite Bananarama song ❤️
It's so cute. The reaction of the other celebs. An icon like Harrison Ford, himself, swooning. Even Reese seemed starstruck & shy - with Margot girl-crushing at her side. & the B-girls absolutely down-to-earth. Supersweet.
So true
I was absolutely gobsmacked when I nsaw these on this show and they are as good now as they were in the eighties
They have the same beautiful voice than the 80's and they still are beautiful women...damn , that I dance on their songs, one of my favorite groups of the 80's...most of the singers from Britain are the bests !!!
What British city has the most? In America my opinion is Philadelphia Pa.
They are absolutely stunning and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this video.
Best version and they all look happy singing together good job girls ...🥰
Stunning ladies, especially keren
Sara is an absolute honey. What a gorgeous looking woman!
I love em all. 👍👍
Loving the modern Cruel Summer, yeah baby they still got it
Love this song, they sound even better now
Siobhan is the perfect woman. Absolutely stunning and a fantastic personality too.
What? Siobhan is by far the least attractive of the three.
@@andrewhowes7911 Well attractiveness is all in the eye of the beholder.
I think Siobhan is gorgeous but that's me.
I think she aged the best out of all three, kerin was the prettiest in the 80's. but they all ages well
Christ they look better now than back in the eighties
@@bertiodvonrastenburger1129 You are Absolutely Right Mister.
The ladies look and sound fantastic!! Please come to the United States on your tour!! When I heard Siobhan was back I could not believe it. I will take Bananarama all day long over 99.9% of the crap music out there in 2017!!
Your prayers have been answered, garry. LA, San Fran and NY dates added for Feb 2018
They'll be in Los Angeles, CA USA in 2018
They did. Saw them in Los Angeles. They were awesome!
You can say that again in 2019... Music just seems to be going more and more downhill... They're all pretty forgettable. I doubt that people will be singing a Nikki Minaj or Cardi B song in 30 years' time...
I hope they're gonna take the tour worldwide, we want them back in Australia, huge fan base here girls...
Cruel Summer one of the coolest hits of the 80's. Would be a hit if released ourdays for the first time for sure...
Harrison actually smile when seeing Bananarama
This Steve Tyle chap was the best I think. I wonder if he started a band or something - he certainly has potential...
I love this updated version of Cruel Summer. Wish it was the record.
@Michael Tinker No, it has been updated very obviously.
saw them in London with Jacquie in 1989 and last year at Edinburgh Castle..still amazing..sounding even better !
I was there as well in 1989 what month and where? I bet the Edinburgh Castle one was really good!!
Bits they showed on TV etc looked buzzing!
These women are incredibly talented and amazingly gorgeous! Their dance moves and vocals are fantastic. It would be incredible to play a bluesy solo and fills throughout the song. Lots of extra creative things, on top of their wonderfully global hit. 🎸🎸🤟🤟
I was so happy when I got to
See them in Brighton and the original line up. Brilliant night fond memories.
Could you imagine having one of these ladies as your mom?? How cool would that be?!!
they so wonderful! i love them!
Love these ladies!!!! Cannot wait for the tour! Welcome back Siobhan!
Get it!!!!!!!!! All three look so amazing and happy! Please bring the tour to the US
Damn they look fantastic
They are a joy to watch. Love them.
Way better than anything today
hi
They sound and look fantastic
Crowds are going bananas for the them. Hope they tour North America.
Because Siobhan is who provided the full roundness and power to the unison vocals. We never liked it when it was just a duo. 3 is not a crowd here
They look and still sound amazing performing live 34 years after this song 1st came out in 1983'' . This song still goes hard And always been 1 of my favorite 80s babies classics that brings back good childhood memories of the early mid 80s.🎶😎
Those girls love a drink, still. Ab Fab utilized their wild exploits. Good on them, they look great.
Wow they’re still looking good 😊 😍
It gives me chills......... 😎
Amazing that hey have provided us all with this smooth, sexy, easy sound for so many years...Aprefect blend of pop and chill..... thnx from the heart and well done!
Hot cougar mama singers. 80s music was so bomb-ass compared to the utter crap we have today
I love them! Sooooooo glad they got back together! This song IS my childhood - and it will always be a hit!
Fierce divas ...i absolutely love these girls
Love banarama ..expose ..Wilson Phillips
Wonderful trio, wonderful to see them.
I could keep looking at Keren for hours, regardless if she sings.
Long live Music!
I LOVE THEM AND THEY SANG MY FAVOURITE TRACK JUST BRILLIANT
They were and are really awesome. The sound of a great music decade combined with their beauty. What can you ask more ?
Somebody else said it..Goosebumps. Just fabulous ladies!!
How cruel nice this song is
Harrison Ford looked genuinely happy to see Bananarama. Cool bananas.
"Genuinely happy" is an understatement. His eyeballs are literally popping out!
They are still looking beautiful as ever 😊❤
You are so right on!! They are even more gorgeous than when they first came out. Absolutely fabulous on stage!! Love their head snaps!!
This is just so cool x
One of my favourite 80s songs❤
I love that it was the original lineup. Siobhan's always been my favorite.
I love Cruel Summer after watching Cobra Kai season 2. I'm clicking through RUclips watching every version I can find.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
It's great to see them back together again. It brought happy tears to my eyes. 😹
Wow they look great !!!
I love this group these girls are amazing and are all HIGHLY underrated. Easily one of the most underrated bands of all time I feel safe to say
They were never underrated, huge success around the world including the USA and they have a very loyal fan base to this day
I luv them, i was born ‘82, watched so much of them
Extremely Talented !! Georgeous Girls !!!
I love all these three ladies, they make me travel back to a great age of my life...their song mixed with that Karate Kid scene, which starts when Daniel heads in his bike to school is iconic.
歌い終わったときの3人の笑顔がとても良い。観客の歓声と拍手が凄く、根強い人気があるのがよく分かります。
離脱がありましたが、結成から30数年経ってもステージでこの3人の並びが見れるのは、ファンにはたまらないものがあるでしょう。
個人的にも、バナナラマは、カレン、サラ、シヴォーンの3人が一番しっくりきて好きです。
It's good, they appear not to be lip-synching and they sound good!
I would go see them in a minute, looks like a fun show!
IT WAS,,,3X!!!
Great!! welcome back girls! old and new memories forever!!
I love it . . in 2019....waooooooh...😃😃😃...in my childhood my love this band. I think these three ladies seneor than me . but i love there fantastic music..cruel summer
I can't believe. This is amazing. Wonderful song, Wonderful performance.
LOVE THEM ❤... THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE MUSIC THEY BROUGHT US ❤️
Man oh man theses ladies are just Killin’ it !! 👏 Respect to their natural talent.
Bananarama could out-sing The Slag Girls, Trogs Aloud and the Shaturdays anyday ... even with gags on their mouths! Long Live The Queens!
Still got it! Kudos!
They all look good and have looked after themselves. Plus, each and everyone has found a good surgeon.
Still stunning and can still knock out a good tune!! Still fancy these ladies after all those years
Love this version!!
Keren is still a total babe. ❤️❤️
They look and sound fantastic. Just like the song in the 80s. This here shows you what real music is
The harmonies were a bit different in spots, but that's to be expected from an actual LIVE performance.
I had most of their casette tapes, and only a couple of albums growing up. They look great and the 80's was great.
so many watching dont realise the significance of this, these guys were doing this in the 80s and for them to put on a performance like this some 30 years later is just insane
True Confessions is the best album the girls ever made. Ready Or Not, Dance With A Stranger, Do Not Disturb, Promised Land, etc. Still listening in my car with the volume up.
i love that album
Don't forget on that album .."Hot Line to Heaven"! I must have wore that track out. And "trick of the night'... masterpieces of pop
A GREAT ALBUM
Love Harrison Fords face when he meets them! He's famous for being grumpy. But one of these great ladies takes his fancy by the looks of it! 😂
siguen muy lindas ,,que biennn ,,se me alegro' el dia con este video ,en Cuba gustaron muchisimo
Love these ladies!! They made so many memories!
Was für eine geile Zeit! Wahrscheinlich nicht zu wiederholen!
WE NEED ALL THREE!....MY BABES!
Amazing pop masterpiece by my favourite "girlband". Great video, great production, wow ... I almost lost 4 words. I played it on my little local queer radio show "Pink Channel". Thx!!!
Just how we remember them. Sassy, cheeky and together.
To all the doubters who always said they couldn't really sing...
LISTEN & LEARN!
They're awesome! This performance was brilliant!
Still have beautiful harmony!
Very cool
Refreshing to see and hear iconic 80s bananara
Nailed it!!!
I actually thought they were lip-syncing at first they sounded so well!
