Right on. Anyone can sing with all of the synthesizers and technology today. A lot of “artists” lip-synch at concerts, because “they dance a lot.” Lame excuse. Pat Benetar’s voice still gives me chills, and I’ve loved her since I was about 6-7.
Anyone who sings knows how difficult it is to sing this forcefully, and still sound great. Vocally, this is one of the most powerful pop/rock songs ever recorded. You have to see her live in concert to appreciate how strong her voice really is.
her range, timbre, modulation and projection are amazing... it's a hard song to sing well. I like how the verses are in her sultry lower register, then she can just jump so effortlessly up an octave on the choruses. Underrated 80's vocalist...and so tiny and cute back then! Had a big crush as a kid ugh! 😍🎤🎼👍
February 1981. San Diego Sports Arena. My very first ever rock concert. Pat Benatar. She opened with No You Don't and closed with My Clone Sleeps Alone on the third encore. The arena lights came on and the audience refused to leave. From in the back a chant started:"We want Pat!!". In minutes 20,000 people were making this chant. 10 minutes later Pat and her band came back on stage. "Thank you for calling us back to the stage. I don't know any more songs." The only time I saw something like that.
Neil Giraldo has got to be one of the luckiest men alive. He gets to make and perform amazing music with the woman he loves, who happens to be one of the best female singers ever... who is also an amazing person, AND incredibly beautiful, AND seems to be very nearly immune to aging. They must have a truly wonderful life.
This is one of those classic Rock songs that contains a purely epic phrase in its lyrics - and it almost slips by unnoticed: "You can talk tough, baby - that's alright.You can let me down easy but - not tonight!"
Rock AND ROLL hall OF fame now!!! What r THEY waiting for its a no BRAINER!! She was untouchable IN the late 70s to mid 80s!! She should BE RIGHT THERE BESIDE ANN WILSON!!!
Pat trained for awhile to sing opera when young, and I believe her mom sang some opera. Unlike many pop, rock and country stars, Pat can ACTUALLY SING! She sings pushing air up from her diaphragm, has a relaxed throat and resonates like crazy above the neck - sings through her head. That is why she gets such volume, has excellent range and can comfortably sustain notes. She can still do it very well today! Definitely one of the best rock singers, ever. Not in Rock and Roll Hall of Shame!!!
Yes, she was classically trained for opera and has a five octave vocal range. I went to a Benatar Giraldo concert at Paramount Theater in Denver in 2001 or so. She and Neil walked up the aisle near my seat as they were playing this song.
You lost me at Nicks not even in the same category as the others now don't get wrong love her stuff and great song writer but much like Dillion she is really not a good singer
Talk about a set of pipes god do I miss 80's music. Benatar was the "Bad Ass", Stevie Nicks was the "Mysterious Witch", Joan Jett was just a hard ass, throw in Anne and Nancy Wilson from Heart God those were the days.
@@BizTechSherpa if she saw him again I'm assuming she wouldn't be able to write u back unfortunately it's hard to think do the good times but when ur alone in the car or alone in ur bed just try as hard as u can to go back go back to one memory even if their is 1000 and in that memory u will live and be
Imagine: Here's a woman who based on talent, smarts, looks and some charisma - let alone good songs and a great band - made it without spoiled "judges" deciding what's good and what isn't. She came from an era where you went on the road and the real judges - the audience - would determine your future. Not a panel of 3 or 4 attention seeking narcissists.
Those 65 souls who disliked Pat Benatar, have no business even being on this page. They wouldn't know what great music is if it jumped up and bit them in the butt! They are clueless!
”And now the hands of time are standing still Midnight angel, won't you say you will” These lines still pop into my head every now and then. She sings with such emotion while remaining super cool. Just love love love til the end of time♥️
🤩 me too, exactly! These lines still come back into my head once in awhile, they’re so evocative for some reason. It’s also the rhythm of them, with the 1-beat pause between “you” and “say you will”, it just sucks you in!
It is amazing to me how effortlessly those notes come out of her. I have seen some powerful singers but it often looks like they have to struggle when they need the power. Pat looks so relaxed like her personal volume knob is only on 5 out of ten and she doesn't even need any more than that. its just all raw refined beautiful power.
Wow, this was amazing, superb performance. So real and epic. Goosebumps really. It is an utter travesty and shame that Pat Benatar, basically the Queen of the 80s, is not in the Hall of Fame. And I feel sad also for the 205 misguided souls who disliked this video.
I got burned out on Pat Benetar In the early 80s when MTV played her videos over and over. I'm only now revisiting her decades later, and man oh man she is the real deal. It seems so rare to hear such a capable voice live these days.
Yeah, I can imagine, they played her videos All the time! But her voice, the power, clarity, she’s a nuclear power station 😊 These days, one singer I love as well, though in a totally different register, is Lara Fabian. She’s also all-in, 💯 all the way in her live performances.
What a powerful voice coming from such a tiny lady (5'0") - amazing. I've been a fan since the early 80's - saw her in Worcester, MA in 1981 while I was at WPI.
I'm still every bit in love with Pat Benatar as I was back in the eighties. This song (and several others) never fails to send those delicious chills down my spine. This performance is *SUPERB*! If there is one reason for the internet to exist, it is so everyone can see this wonderful vintage performance from the most supremely talented Ms. Benatar!
I saw this tour in San Diego back in the day when there was -- NO -- Autotune, -- NO -- backtracks, -- NO -- LIPSYNCHING, and -- NO -- twenty some odd distracting "Dancers" hopping all over the place covering up the fact of NON-TALENT. You know --- back in the time where you had to have some form of TALENT. You could either SING, or play some form of INSTRUMENT. OR BOTH.
I saw her in San Diego back in 1985, was in the Navy and got a free ticket to go see her. This is my all time favorite song of she has ever done. My parents went nuts the first time I played Hell is for children, they had both just found Jesus at the time.
Saw that tour too, at the L.A. Sports Arena. My second concert ever. I was 15. Remember the opening, when the stage is "coccooned" before the kick-off song?
She has the greatest vocal range I have ever heard in my life and more importantly she sings from her heart. You simply can't perform better than pat Benatar!
What a voice.... Her, Ann Wilson and Patty Smthy of Scandal are the three best rock voices I've ever heard. Debbie Harry has a really good voice as well, it's underrated. FBA/B1
Every once in a lifetime, people are witness to true God given talent. Having been born in the late 50's, I am glad to have lived through, from,Motown to Van Halen. This couple are still in love & playing live. Pat only gets hotter every year. This can only come from, God. Thank you for sharing with us.
God I wish she had stuck with material like this, but at the end of the day paying the bills is more important than belting out incredible rockers like this and Fire&Ice. Throw in the fact that she was one of very few women out front of a genuine rock band and Benatar is a rock goddess for mine. (Fleetwood Mac and others were blues bands, although I guess they all got lumbered with the same dropkick promoters and managers. I had zero interest in Jefferson Airplane or anything similar, but some would argue that they lived the rock star life and that's all that mattered)
lol right? Perfect drummer for Pat. I'd forgotten how cool the graphics on his set were! (my drummer and I had no need for kit jealousy however- he happened to have a Pearl setup that was close to the size of Neil Pearts lol..so much fun to play!) 🔊💪
Yeah, people that didn't live at that time have no idea what a great time it was for us in the states in those days. Just love Pat Benatar and her music and so many great rockers from that time. I haven't watched one of her live performances in a while and just WOW, she was a sexy little thing. No wonder as a boy I was so smitten. lol
Pat Benatar could easily be the GREATEST ROCK VOCALIST EVER. LISTEN TO HER VOICE!! The woman is TINY! Listen to how HUGE her VOICE is!!! Axl ROSE could not even keep such ROCK ATTITUDE together THIS consistently live. Her voice is a BAZOOKA. She actually knows how to SING at the same time. She is SO criminally underrated. with new years eve 2018 just a day away Pat Benatars damn near ENTIRE catalog makes close to every "Rock Vocalist" since her height of mega hits sound like a joke! MALE OR FEMALE!
Insanely cute and sexy, and absolutely no one sings better than she does. A tiny adorable little elf, with enough vocal power to blow the roof off the place. This is real 80's rock and roll. I miss those years.
Singers today need to look at Pat Benatar as an example of what real talent is. If they do, then maybe I will listen to them more. Real music ended after the 1980s. Now get with it.
@@strawbrryfld1 She still blows the so called celebrities out of the water today. Huge difference between a singer and pathetic, attention, seeking celebrities.
This is probably my favorite song by them, they really pulled this one off live w stunning authenticity of the recording that is, hard to do live w certain tracks. Pat is statuesque, stunningly and beautifully present, her voice sounds great, really her at her peak, what lucky guys her band was, oh gee , we got to go make music w this gorgeous soulful gal every night , we should all have such problems ha!
I was born in 90s and I have recently discovered how great the 80s were for music, especially female lead singers like Pat & many more, Im kinda sad/mad I wasnt alive to witness it, but I wonder why I don’t see a lot of people praising the voice of Marie fredrickson from Roxette though, I feel she was underrated and should have way more recognition, her voice is amazing to me, am I missing something ?
nope, your ear is good! I think ppl discount Marie bcoz of the popiness of Roxette. But good Lordy her vocal on "It Must Have Been Love" is agonizingly gorgeous...and such range!! 🎤💪👍 I listened to it every lonely night at my lonely job 15 years ago when a relation just...fell apart. Really hard time. 💔 Still don't listen to that song anymore. 😞
Saw Pat and many concerts at the old torn down New Haven Coliseum. It was always friggin hot in there w/no ventilation. system. Just a huge big square box shape which produced excellent sound. Best concert there? Guns & Roses Skin and Bones Tour 1993 9th row. Benatar was awesome though.
Wow, just wow! Pat can really let it rip and sound awesome while holding it together during certain parts of the song. Pat and Ann Wilson are 2 of the best female singers to ever hold a microphone!
Every once in awhile you hear this, you are reminded of it. Then it dawned on me that she was/is better than almost any singer ever. Not even my favorite music… But, I concede, she is amazing! They were better back then, they had to be. Even Diana Ross in her Central Park concert when it rained. Look it up and listen to what she said and watch what she did. Then ask yourself, if any singer today would do that? Or could? These performances were hands down the best human kind has to offer.
![Sean Rii, Karyon, Sharzkii - Taungule [My Love] (Official Music Video)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eJoMuypbSzQ/mqdefault.jpg)
One of the best female vocalists ever. She didn’t need auto tune to perform.
The song is good but
The song from the studio is better 😉
Right on. Anyone can sing with all of the synthesizers and technology today. A lot of “artists” lip-synch at concerts, because “they dance a lot.” Lame excuse. Pat Benetar’s voice still gives me chills, and I’ve loved her since I was about 6-7.
Not sure auto tune was around back in 82 win this was taped. I remember this concert it was on ppv. I was 16 in 82 wow I’m old ..
My favorite female Rock vocalist of all time. Been a fan from the late 70s. Timeless voice!
Long before auto tune my friend.
The way she belts out the line "midnight angel won't you say you will" is really stunning
Outstanding
so funny "midnight angel won't you say you will" has always been my fave part of this song.
zero choreography, zero back up dancers, zero explosions and special effects. STILL 100% AWESOME
Exactly!
Nothing to add!
Well said.
she overcomes all these things missing by being incredibly good looking and wonderful singer
she was very pretty you are wrong
She was trained in opera before she started singing pop and rock music. That’s why she can blow it up like nobody else.
Wow! I did not know that. She sure can let it rip! Thanks for that nugget!
Anyone who sings knows how difficult it is to sing this forcefully, and still sound great. Vocally, this is one of the most powerful pop/rock songs ever recorded. You have to see her live in concert to appreciate how strong her voice really is.
I saw her and Blondie at Foxwoods casino in 2009. Absolutely AMAZING
Couldn't agree more. This song gave me chills as a you man with a crush on Pat Benetar. It still does.
her range, timbre, modulation and projection are amazing... it's a hard song to sing well. I like how the verses are in her sultry lower register, then she can just jump so effortlessly up an octave on the choruses. Underrated 80's vocalist...and so tiny and cute back then!

Amazing story!!!
Best female rock vocalist of all time.
Her and Ann Wilson for a tie I would say
Oh yes!
You should check out Noora Louhimo
Thumbs up if your a child of the 80s what a decade for rock !! kids of today dont know what music is !!
Who's Shawn mendes
jon He's the definition of Cancer.
He's not rock?! He's a manufactured singer for the tiny boppers
jon Exactly
your a goof go listen to some rap
Damn, she can sing!
She was a big part of what made the 80's so great!!
Her voice gives me the chills, she's so amazing!!
Her husband is also in the band as lead guitarist .🎸

Haha not one of the best female singers. Just one of the best singers
Classically trained opera singer.
Summer 2023! Still love this song!
2024❤❤
I would of have LOVED to see Pat Benatar and Steve Perry do a duet!
When Singers really could sing!
Pat Benatar is literally one of the greatest vocalist / performers/ Rock n Roll artist of all time!! 🐐🐐🐐
What a voice!!
Indeed THE BEST female artist of all time.
A couple of the unmistakeable female voices in rock history; Grace Slick, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks. You hear them, you know who it is.
Don't forget Tina and Bonnie Tyler!
That list is totally true. The truest list. Maybe missing like 4 or 5 others but you nailed it. Benatar.. ahh.. what a talent.
Karen Carpenter too
Nancy Wilson is unmistakable too...as is Patti Smith, Patty Smythe...etc.
even Madonna is unmistakable...unspectacular, but unmistakable nonetheless.
I'll even add Karen Carpenter to that list. Maybe not rock but they knew what they were doing
Just love you, Pat. Rocker Queen. It was SO GREAT when you entered a 95% male dominated scene and blew 100% of them away.❤
Didn't blow Journey, Bon Jovi, Survivor, Led Zepplin etc away. Sit down and behave.
Hey kids!!!! This is real talent. This is Pat Benetar. The Queen of Rock. Forever.🤘❤❤❤
This is one of those classic Rock songs that contains a purely epic phrase in its lyrics - and it almost slips by unnoticed: "You can talk tough, baby - that's alright.You can let me down easy but - not tonight!"
the lyrics to this become even more sadly poignant when you grew up to this...and yet now find yourself so very... alone. 💔😞
Rock AND ROLL hall OF fame now!!! What r THEY waiting for its a no BRAINER!! She was untouchable IN the late 70s to mid 80s!! She should BE RIGHT THERE BESIDE ANN WILSON!!!

It’s a God given gift, her vocal chords are no different than anyone else’s
Grew up on Pat , Wilson Sisters Patty Smythe and Stevie Nicks hands down queens of rock and I want to thank all of you ladies 👏🏼
I agree, and also Linda Ronstadt
They are all wonderful
Wow
My respects for Stevie Nicks. But I still can't understand why they would refer to her as Queen Of Rock N Roll above this woman?
You lost me at Nicks not even in the same category as the others now don't get wrong love her stuff and great song writer but much like Dillion she is really not a good singer

Damn good question.
Pat Benatar, c'mon really. She's an ICON!!!
Probably the best song ever written and performed.
This song definitely reminds me of my husband and me back in the 80s . We had a great time together and I am just waiting to see him again.
Did you see him again? I would love to hear your story.
If he passed on, I'm sorry for your loss. Cling to your memories and look forward to that reunion.

good that you took that journey together...I let several good ones slip away...and now I find myself old and all alone and damn does it suck... 😞💔

Aaah the 80's, car windows down, cruising to Pat Benatar up LOUD!
This is probably my favorite song by them, they really pulled this one off live w stunning authenticity of the recording that is, hard to do live w certain tracks. Pat is statuesque, stunningly and beautifully present, her voice sounds great, really her at her peak, what lucky guys her band was, oh gee , we got to go make music w this gorgeous soulful gal every night , we should all have such problems ha!
I was born in 90s and I have recently discovered how great the 80s were for music, especially female lead singers like Pat & many more, Im kinda sad/mad I wasnt alive to witness it, but I wonder why I don’t see a lot of people praising the voice of Marie fredrickson from Roxette though, I feel she was underrated and should have way more recognition, her voice is amazing to me, am I missing something ?
nope, your ear is good! I think ppl discount Marie bcoz of the popiness of Roxette. But good Lordy her vocal on "It Must Have Been Love" is agonizingly gorgeous...and such range!! 🎤💪👍
I listened to it every lonely night at my lonely job 15 years ago when a relation just...fell apart. Really hard time. 💔 Still don't listen to that song anymore. 😞
Little lady... HUGE powerful voice!
The way she puts grit in her voice just amazes me, greatest female singer ever… only if my female singer would actually appreciate older music
How can such a small woman in stature belt out such strong vocals?
Exactly, unbelievable
ugh 😍🥰🎤💪👍
had such a crush on her as a kid back then lol...still do I guess! 🥰😍😂🤭
Saw Pat and many concerts at the old torn down New Haven Coliseum. It was always friggin hot in there w/no ventilation. system. Just a huge big square box shape which produced excellent sound. Best concert there? Guns & Roses Skin and Bones Tour 1993 9th row. Benatar was awesome though.
Incredible. Nothing more, nothing less. Simply Incredible.
High Class American Rock n Roll.....Pat Benatar.....Grace and Beauty Personified.....
Saw Pat Benatar at Newcastle city hall in the eighties. She was terrific. Great singer.
This woman changed the rock’ n roll game forever! Her voice is so strong she is my 1 favorite rock queen
Wow, just wow! Pat can really let it rip and sound awesome while holding it together during certain parts of the song. Pat and Ann Wilson are 2 of the best female singers to ever hold a microphone!
80's MUSIC WAS FKNG AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pat is a ROCK LEGEND the QUEEN!
So true
i know i'm going to get flack but music died when Nirvana was born.
Can you imagine if you could have booked her for your senior prom in the 80's? That would have been.....awesome!
With No Disrespect to Aretha, she is The True QUEEN or Rock!!!
One of the greatest women in the history of rock music. Period. End of discussion.
why couldn't 80's music lasted forever? 90's killed music and it never really recovered.
David 90s music can touch the 80s music
hmm 90's music had a good run and had many high points...imo that's the last decade of good music...it went downhill quick after 2000.
The 90s was actually better than the 80s. Unless you only like pop music
Every once in awhile you hear this, you are reminded of it. Then it dawned on me that she was/is better than almost any singer ever. Not even my favorite music… But, I concede, she is amazing! They were better back then, they had to be. Even Diana Ross in her Central Park concert when it rained. Look it up and listen to what she said and watch what she did. Then ask yourself, if any singer today would do that? Or could? These performances were hands down the best human kind has to offer.
Top 100 Songs Of All Time. Such a great powerful voice. Beautiful spirit and woman. Breathtaking.
Never another era of music like the 80's..Best fuck'in time of my life..
You're lucky as fuck.
Just saw her in concert two weeks ago. She is amazing!! I have loved her since the 80’s. Too bad she didn’t sing this song on this current tour.
Classically trained voice, beautiful woman, really good songs. Pat is one of the best female rockers of all time imhop
She's the best female rock singer of all-time. Even better than Ann Wilson.
+MoMoMyPup10 I wouldn't go that far. She is very good though. I put her 3rd behind Ann and Janis.
+TheJer1963 Janis blew!
To each their own.
+TheJer1963 Ann is DEFINITELY number one, but I would put Pat as a runner up.
John Jones
I can agree with that.
Hugely under appreciated rock and roll Queen... an unbelievably gifted performer.
She was awesome before social media, and she could sing!
