Bottle up all the current so-called "divazz", and they couldn't combine to equal one cell in this gifted body....Annie Lennox is the best female ever in my opinion!!!
check out Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Bjork, P J Harvey... there are a lot of great women creators out there. you just have to look for them more carefully :) enjoy!!
I agree with kobipbip. There are many great women creators both past and present. Jill Scott, Tracy Chapman,Carol King, Nona Hendryx, Nina Simone..... etc.etc.etc
kobipbip Wow. Ok, this is where I often try to remind myself of that line,”... different strokes for different folks”! Because, imho, that small list of legit women, in their own right, in your list... are not in the same musical realm of soulful presence as the divine Lennox. Again, imo, there’s that group of women performers you’ve mentioned... which I’d even throw in Beyoncé (only because she has so many fans that vow she is a queen) I don’t agree, and her vibrato and “skills” actually irritate my ear drums😂 But, to each their own. Then, there are the greats! And that group includes names like Etta, Whitney, Tina, Lennox just to name the select few. Heck, even Cyndi Lauper belongs in this elite group. I eve was tempted to mention it was an insult to group Annie with that list. But, I didn’t want to be a drama queen😂

Mahalo for your hard work, Bunny. Hope you know it was much appreciated I’ve loved Annie Lennox since high school in the 80’s. That voice is just amazing. Thanks so much,again Aloha🤙🏾🤙🏾🎼🎶🎵
Annie at her best! I remember seeing this when first broadcast in '92. Raw, soulful, an artist at the peak of her powers.The final song, a cover of The Beatles' Don't Let Me Down is truly extraordinary.e
I had the fortunate experience to see her open for Sting at the Hollywood Bowl, and when she came out on stage to finish Sting's set, I'll be damned if she didn't steal the show! Incredible range and unequaled intensity...
Hi , I’m curious , did Annie actually open for Sting or was it an “equal” double-bill ? Not sure how to word that question , but you know what I mean. Ty
Annie is the finest singer...pretty much ever. Studio, live, whatever. Especially on those slower, ballad-esque songs. Her voice just jambs itself down your throat and grabs you by the feels. Velvety liquid gold. One of those voices like Patsy Cline and Otis Redding. There won't ever be anything as good.
A goddess. Period. She is perfection. No one holds a candle to her, and here she is at the height of her powers. Love her over this restrained, refined band. One of the best performances of any artist anywhere.
At the start of Eurythmics, Annie was a rare Red Wine... and boy did she just get better each year... what a role model for future generations of artists. Love you Annie.
I totally agree, brother! Her voice is so soulful and strong. Even her “Whoa’s”... and “Yeeeah”s has this certain sweetness and power going back to her EURYTHMICS days of “Sweet Dreams” and “Here Comes the Rain..” and on great tunes like “Why” and, my personal favorite,”No More I Love You’s” with those soulful “Whoa”s and “Yeah”s on all of them.
John Lee Bass No, she doesn’t. There are several songs I can replay multiple times in a row because of how much my ears are fused to her beautiful vocal delivery. And if I’m watching a RUclips video, I’ve been known to drag back that little red dot to restart an Annie Lennox song... ten plus times. UNabashedly!😍🤭😬😁 And, those hypnotic eyes, man! I’ll mention it time and time again. They are awesome! Always thought she was a beautiful woman/artist! Whether it was dressing Tom boyish during her EURYTHMICS days, to wigs during her solo years... she has always been so easy on the eyes. And, what really amazed me that I learned about her during an interview she had done when she had released her solo debut album, was she mentioned that she is shy by nature. And, loves to dress up with head dresses, makeup etc because it is like a shield to her as she faces the public or performs in concerts. I would never had guessed that. BUT, it makes total sense because, ironically, I am the same way.
This reality is why Annie was friends with Tom Petty since the 70s. When Tom's house burned down way back then it was Annie who arrived first among friends bringing clothes for the family. She is a very good person.
Darryl souster1967 - in addition to her incredible voice & artistry, to me Annie is similar to a select group of women performers who have talent with X factor, earthy charisma that hooks men but women love her, too - Janis, Aretha, Sher, Tina Turner, Etta James, Bonnie Raitt...female versions of Michael Bolton, Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra....
Flor wast I agree, wholeheartedly! And that is a huge compliment, because her studio recordings are soulful and on point! But, there is some kind level that she elevates her music and voice when she performs on stage that always moves my soul, man. That performance of her cover on “No More I Love You’s” on the DAVE LETTERMAN show back in the 90’s is still one of her greatest 3 and a half minutes on stage that I still get chills watching in awe. From the time she walked out to the stage, pirouetted into the song’s intro... through that great soulful last minute after her “... and you know what, Mummy? The monsters are REALLY CRAZY... there are monsters outside...”, moments that makes me choke up in tears because I’ve recently lost my Mum and the way Annie speaks those lyrics has me thinking, and missing DEARLY, my mom as I struggle to suck up the tears and enjoy this beautiful woman and her blessed voice. And, I got to mention... isn’t her eyes so hypnotic??! And, knowing she was actually under the weather during this show and fought off a 103 degree fever, is even more amazing how she carried herself like the pro she is. Lovely woman ❤️✌🏾🤙🏾 ruclips.net/video/eft_j2SKGJQ/видео.html
wish I could have experienced her in person even from a distance..no cell phone ringer turned off can simulate the good vibrations coming from this human being! my ❤️becomes sweetness of emotion when I think and listen to you Annie and your beautiful everything!
No es sólo que tenga un don, esa voz que es un auténtico regalo de la naturaleza... además, es que canta como los ángeles... tiene esa personalidad... Ese pedazo de talento descomunal... Es simpática, natural, guapa... Sumándolo todo sale ANNIE LENNOX, un portento, única, probablemente the GOAT!!
Mine as well. 8y later now and I honestly think her voice has aged incredibly well. Hearing performances within the past year or two , she’s lost absolutely nothing. Only gained a smooth/gravelly-ness that truly only adds.
Annie performs with an extremely rare possessed unbridled spiritual passion, couple that with an unusual voice , and unquestionable singing ability and possibly we glimpse at why she arguably stands alongside the likes of super-elite performers such as Kate Bush, and Edith Piaf.
Knows a thing or two about wind and reed instruments - in her teens she was lead flautist of the Scottish National Youth Orchestra and then studied flute at the Royal College of Music.
“Why? ? ? “When I hear this song I still think of my first true love , we were 16-21 years old. I mean, 35 years gone by...it hurt so bad when we parted, I never had the words then, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to say them. Luckily we resolved it all 20 + years ago, but my memories never faded. Brilliant Performance 🌟
I've listened to Annie's records for years. This is the first time I've experienced her live performance and, all due respect to those involved, the recordings seem sterile compared to this. Tears and hairs on end, it's a visceral experience.
Annie, a greater class isn't conceivable. One rank with John Lennon, Sade Adu, Joe Jackson, absolute classy, world music. Dedicated fan from Germany (West). Love you Annie for the rest of eternity!!!
As a female white pop vocalist, she had an absolutely huge global career and is considered a goddess ever since she entered the stage. She did a duet with Aretha Franklin, had 15 Grammy Nominations and 4 Grammy wins. What makes you write she's underrated? By whom? The Marsians?
Once you are sucked into the Annie Lennox tornado voice, you can never escape...nor do you want to
Damn right...
SHE IS JUST SUPER NATURAL .. HOW CAN ANYONE HAVE THAT MUCH TALENT.. ITS UNREAL..
Absofuckinglutely. A real.. diva
Most girl's like Achilles
She is as baron as a brick
Immortality is only for god's
Watching this incredible performance in 2022, 30 years after the recording. Speechless and in total admiration !!! 💖💖💖
Bottle up all the current so-called "divazz", and they couldn't combine to equal one cell in this gifted body....Annie Lennox is the best female ever in my opinion!!!

man, that was great...that was something else
What an absolute pleasure to listen to a master of her craft. This woman is the real deal.
What an amazing artist! What a talent. I'm a 56 year old male. When I first discovered her via the "Diva" album, I was blown away. And still am......

How is this "raw"?
acoustic is the rawest @@guitaristssuck8979
“Stay by Me” must be the most beautiful song ever…⛈️…so blind in love…
Come on now baby…
I had the fortunate experience to see her open for Sting at the Hollywood Bowl, and when she came out on stage to finish Sting's set, I'll be damned if she didn't steal the show! Incredible range and unequaled intensity...
My same experience! Sacred Heart Tour - both were incredible.
Hi , I’m curious , did Annie actually open for Sting or was it an “equal” double-bill ? Not sure how to word that question , but you know what I mean. Ty
She is a premiere singing actress. No one can touch her. She is astonishing here. Thank you so much for posting this. ❤️
TJ Williams You not been out much, then? Tune into a Tina Turner concert before you start saying Lennox is the best
Every once in a while I get in an Annie Lennox mood.
exactly :)
Once a month, me.
@@LANGLEYEFC She's as Great as ever!!!!! What a voice! Just Love her.
me too....
In my humble opinion, Annie is one of the most amazing singers and performers in this word.
Annie is the finest singer...pretty much ever. Studio, live, whatever. Especially on those slower, ballad-esque songs. Her voice just jambs itself down your throat and grabs you by the feels. Velvety liquid gold.

TT hu Drots ar
I didn’t realize how beautiful she is until I got older.
Women can change so drastically throughout their lives.
She must get the best Adrenochrome.
"The Gift"
Words cannot express what that song does to me. Thank you, Annie.
At the start of Eurythmics, Annie was a rare Red Wine... and boy did she just get better each year... what a role model for future generations of artists. Love you Annie.
IN MY OPINION ANNIE LENNOX STILL OWNS THE RIGHT FOR BEST FEMALE ENTERTIANER
Amen, Saad🤙🏾
Yes she’s great but Aretha and Tina take that title
Annie Lennox is so good and so cool! this has been my option too since first heard her in the early 90's
I was two years into an eight year military career when I saw her live awsome what a voice ..that performance has stayed with me all these years 😊
How come it's took me so long to find this absolutely fantastic from annie lennox.
My favourite unplugged concert, brilliant vocal performance with the unteachable feel, and the band ...wow !
When she sings my heart hears first then my ears ,I am lost xxx
Annie Lennox is wonderful. Not just as a performer but for humanism.
post humanism dear.
oh man, what a voice and what a woman.
you got it! and she never gets dull to listen to.
I totally agree, brother! Her voice is so soulful and strong. Even her “Whoa’s”... and “Yeeeah”s has this certain sweetness and power going back to her EURYTHMICS days of “Sweet Dreams” and “Here Comes the Rain..” and on great tunes like “Why” and, my personal favorite,”No More I Love You’s” with those soulful “Whoa”s and “Yeah”s on all of them.

I would never had guessed that. BUT, it makes total sense because, ironically, I am the same way.
She's the only singer I know that sounds better outside the studio than in it.
This reality is why Annie was friends with Tom Petty since the 70s. When Tom's house burned down way back then it was Annie who arrived first among friends bringing clothes for the family. She is a very good person.

Tina Turner is better sound
Good lord she absolutely SLAYED 'The Gift'

The best unplugged EVER!
I miss MTV Unplugged. This one of my favorite sessions.
The VOICE in person
wish I could have experienced her in person even from a distance..no cell phone ringer turned off can simulate the good vibrations coming from this human being!
my ❤️becomes sweetness of emotion when I think and listen to you Annie and your beautiful everything!
I was there, you can see me sitting in the audience
River Deep Mountain High - fabulous, Miss Lennox! Absolutely great! No need for excuse.... :-*
Yes Yes !! Go Annie go !
Totally, no need for apologies, Annie ROCKs it!!!
This gives me some release in this hard and dark times. 🙏
That version of "Why" is my absolute favourite, so beautiful.
Slow and considered. Perfect 😍
Her singing "Cold" is perfection and haunting at the same time.....still listening 2019! Annie fan until I die!
I'll be Annie fan even after my death :)
Here Comes The Rain Again, how I love that song!
You got it guy!
Everything happens for a reason....First time watching this.....
She looks great in this video beautiful.
Queen Annie at her best ❤
Wonderful
No es sólo que tenga un don, esa voz que es un auténtico regalo de la naturaleza... además, es que canta como los ángeles... tiene esa personalidad... Ese pedazo de talento descomunal... Es simpática, natural, guapa...
Sumándolo todo sale ANNIE LENNOX, un portento, única, probablemente the GOAT!!
I was there!!! Magic!!!!
OMG! how I wish!
Two souls,one black and one white,that owns his wonderfull voice. Unique Annie.
Piss off with your colours..Souls have no colour why do you jerks always try to label stuff.
My god....annie is something amazing.
Seen her live so many time, I'm more than lucky. Annie has a unique and wonderful voice, my all time favourite!
+Jan Flash Hopefully she does a tour soon!
Mine as well. 8y later now and I honestly think her voice has aged incredibly well. Hearing performances within the past year or two , she’s lost absolutely nothing. Only gained a smooth/gravelly-ness that truly only adds.
Breathtaking amazing. Had the privilege seeing Annie in concert and she took my breath away - had the voice and such a grace in the delivery...
Magistral Annie Lennox, hay mujeres que nacen con un don como el de ella y lo perfeccionan maravillosamente
Está Músic e de data .pois come Banck . Desde anos 80 .
I Love Annie Lennox!!! Incredible Talent! WOW!!! Zina
Absolutely Incredible
Such a spectacular talent! ❤️
Annie is prodigiously talented. Great vocal mix on Cold - shout out to the sound peeps!
To have witnessed this, a performance like no other - it’s simply mesmerising
Annie is most certainly a one of a kind. And so beautiful!
the voice of the 80´s. best time ever
nope 60s were the best time for music tho love Annie
You're both wrong.
17th century was the best time for music.
my god, what a performance. thank you for hosting -- it's made a lifelong AL fan out of me.
Annie performs with an extremely rare possessed unbridled spiritual passion, couple that with an unusual voice , and unquestionable singing ability and possibly we glimpse at why she arguably stands alongside the likes of super-elite performers such as Kate Bush, and Edith Piaf.
Most exquisite Annie Lennox
That stare at the end of "Why" set the place afire.
One of the greatest voice ever. ANNIE!
Only the queen of music can get away with playing a recorder and make it sound amazing...Annie Lennox is a music Goddess
@38:55
Knows a thing or two about wind and reed instruments - in her teens she was lead flautist of the Scottish National Youth Orchestra and then studied flute at the Royal College of Music.
Honestly to me, Annie Lennox is the queen of all us Amazing Amazons. Like David Bowie they both grown into their maturity. I love them for that.❤️❤️
What no one is talking about: That is the only cover of "River Deep Mountain High" that captured the power and soul of the original.
“Why? ? ? “When I hear this song I still think of my first true love , we were 16-21 years old. I mean, 35 years gone by...it hurt so bad when we parted, I never had the words then, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to say them. Luckily we resolved it all 20 + years ago, but my memories never faded. Brilliant Performance 🌟
@39:48
Annie inspires with her infectious enthusiasm, animation and her soulful and sweet singing.
of all the women singers she the best !!!!!
Watching this in Aberdeen, how apt :)...and how brilliant is Annie?
They don't come any better than Annie,superb performer,great voice,nobody tickles the and she tickles the Keys with the best of them!David E.Ziefle
god i miss her!
so do I, so do I.
I also agree with others that there are hundreds of great women singers, songstress out there. But Annie, in my opinion, is the epitome of diva.
One of my favorite Unplugged episodes ever!
The backing singers at "Cold" have made my day... UNBELIEVABLE ETHEREAL SOUND, THANK YOU LADIES 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
She was on fire since day one.... SHE WAS BORN WITH THAT POWER.. GIFTED ENTERTAINER.. FORCE TO BE RECONEND WITH...
I've listened to Annie's records for years. This is the first time I've experienced her live performance and, all due respect to those involved, the recordings seem sterile compared to this. Tears and hairs on end, it's a visceral experience.
She is incredible ♥️
Yes love it ❤
she's so wonderful!
Wonderful and unique
Annie --- I loved then i love her now ---- great great vocalist
Annie, a greater class isn't conceivable. One rank with John Lennon, Sade Adu, Joe Jackson, absolute classy, world music. Dedicated fan from Germany (West). Love you Annie for the rest of eternity!!!
A dodgy siren and a tender lover fused in one.
Annie's an absolute legend!

One of the most underrated white female pop vocalist. Amazing performance!
As a female white pop vocalist, she had an absolutely huge global career and is considered a goddess ever since she entered the stage. She did a duet with Aretha Franklin, had 15 Grammy Nominations and 4 Grammy wins. What makes you write she's underrated? By whom? The Marsians?

"Cold" is the best song ever!
Great!
God Given Talent!
Completely natural.
Amazing!
I enjoy her singing so much.
Cantora fantastica, esta em falta cantora desse porte, alem do mais é muita linda.
Ela é a Zélia Duncan britanica!
Fabulous.
This girl's got some chops, somebody sign her to a contract.
Such a voice, powerful and soft, and her lyrics. Wonderful!
