RIP Irene. Beautiful and sweet voice. Never will forget you 🙏🏽
This song brings me such great and beautiful memories as a young girl! ❤️ May you RIP sweet Angel 🙏🏼💕
Flashdance... I will never forget. I was twelve when I saw it and It was amazing. RIP Irene.♥️
💔
I'm so glad that I got to be in an error where this woman was around I'm very very heartbroken to hear that this woman is no longer with us, her legacy will live on rest in peace Miss Cara.
Good music, good times and definitely a great artist. She will truly be missed. A great motivation 🎵
RIP Irene Cara (March 18, 1959 - November 25, 2022), age 63
You will be remembered as a legend.
💔😓 ... I'm trying to stop crying ... She had a unique, indescribable voice! I've loved her since I was a little girl!
She was a Pisces baby like me a March baby.
She is my age. She must have taken the shots to die so young
😭😭😭추억의팝 팬이였는데
Me encanta ,me duele que ya no esté. 😢
Stop asking WHOS LISTENING?..we never stop listening 80'S MUSIC..😉❤️
Very true we have these idiots that want attention. Classic music never goes out of style. 👍
Is somebody in charge of asking that? LOL
Who else misses the 80's?
Yo
I do and I wasn’t even alive then
Indeed. I miss Irene Cara. I hope that the family and friends of Ms. Cara have solace in knowing how much Ms. Cara touched harts and souls. Glen Hillebrand
Yo 😢
If you think the 80s were great, and they were, you should have been there in the 50s & 60s. For decades we were so blessed with great music - sadly, not so much today.
Thank god I grew up in the 80’s as a teenager. Those were the best of times!!!
I ❤️ the 80tis 🌹and irene cara ✌️❤️🌹
nah the 80s were the best as a kid, you 80s teenagers were messed up
@@1greenMitsi For me early 80s as a kid and late 80s as a teen, best years ever!
Did anyone hear the news? She passed away
Same. Awesome memories make me sad listening to this since she just passed
What a voice. No autotune, no computers, just soul and passion.
The real deal!
and pure talent!
@@bruceli9094 playback
sooo talented.👏👏👏
No fancy clothes or jewelries just pure talent
Who's listening in 2024?
Me❤
Yo en la a tualidad 24
Me. Love and miss Irene loads.
I am 60 I'm still listening because she's my fav during my younger time.listening in the philippines.
Here i'm
The 80’s, the peak of humanity.
The best🎉!
That's all ✨
LOL... they do look pathetic don't they?
If you haven't lived through the 80s then you can't say one way or the other if it was better than or now. A lot of people want to have an opinion over something they know nothing about
100% .. feel sorry for the sad lot who missed how glorious life was back then .. they don't know any better from their indoctrination abuse.
Nothing but pure beauty and talent.
Too bad that she believed in "safe and effective science".
@@billyzee261 You know.
Descanse em paz
@Chris N I remember her tweeting about how happy she was to get vaccinated...RIP.
@@billyzee261 No evidence she died from "the jab", ya cultist. She probably had a stroke, heart attack, or inhaled toxic fumes.
For anyone to sing like that shows the soul of their very being. Absolutely beautiful. She's a treasure.
I'm a 74 year old British guy.
Fun fact, she was only 23 years old when this song was created!!!
Sir, I raise my hat in humility. Yes, Irene was brilliant. Much love from India/Roby.
I was 14 when I watched Flashdance in Pune, India. It's still there engraved in mind....
it is called talent: no computer, no back up,
incredible live perf
My heart has broken to have learned that this wonderful, beautiful, talented artist has passed. A real class act. You will be missed Irene and your music will live on forever. Rest in peace.

This is an outstanding performance by Irene. Unfortunately we lost this wonderful talent far too young

Blasted this song after graduating from nursing school. What a feeling!!!
Thank you for becoming a nurse.

Irene Cara was a stunning performer. What a class act.
was is right
RIP
She passed away last night which is very sad
oh indeed, lip synched every performance
@@suave-rider let the woman rest in peace ya miserable PRICK!
'take your passion, and make it happen' that's one of the most memorable lines from a long list of 80s kuts
She had such charisma. Could act and sing. First saw her in Roots in 1979 and she was so radiant to me. How she never became a major star will always be a mystery to me.
素晴らしい歌声。
貴方の声を、歌を聴き、いつも勇気をもらっています。
30年前から、聴いていますが
こんなに綺麗な方が歌っているとは
思っていませんでした。
素晴らしい歌声に感謝です。
ありがとうございます。
When music really had meaning, and talented singers!
I hope history remembers her as one of the greatest voices of all times. She deserved a much bigger career than she had. Her voice is my favorite, she was so beautiful
Yeah, her talent far outweighed anything Mariah Carey or Kelly Clarkson ever did. Shows what corporate connections do for you in the music world, smh.
She was a talented superstar in my eyes !
Agreed 💯
she certainly is beautiful.?
She lip-synced this. 😡
No drugs, no naked girls, no bad words... Just pure talent, extraordinary music and dance.
They did drugs and yes there were naked girls in teh 80s.
Well, no, but in the film there was a profanity reference to s**. It happened when actress Jennifer Beals was sitting across the table from some guy. Only saying. Marvelous, uplifting song -- but the movie did contain adult content, at least with that reference to s**.
True !!

Quem tem mais de 50 pode se orgulhar por ter vivido a época de ouro e ter curtido músicas maravilhosas como as Irene Cara e tantos outros cantores. Bons tempos que não voltam mais, mas o CZcams permite a gente matar a saudade e curtir músicas da época da nossa juventude.

"What a Feeling" is more than just a song; it's an emotional journey that lifts the spirit and ignites determination with every note. From the opening chords, it transports you to a place of hope and optimism, where dreams are within reach and goals are attainable. Irene Cara's powerful and emotive voice guides the journey, conveying a message of empowerment and perseverance. Each word resonates with tangible passion, reminding you that you are capable of overcoming any obstacle and achieving your boldest dreams. The melody envelops you like a warm embrace, infusing strength and courage into your heart as you immerse yourself in its unforgettable tune. In summary, "What a Feeling" is a song that makes you believe in yourself, inspires you to pursue your dreams, and reminds you that within you lies limitless potential to achieve the impossible!!!!
The heavenly choir, just hit the jackpot. Rest easy beautiful woman.
So sad to hear that Irene passed away yesterday. What a talented women who gave us so many tremendous memories. RIP Irene.
Sou brasileiro e não sabia dessa informação , que tristeza
The 80's was the ending of the Golden age for music. The good old days, music was truly universal during those times. Both Flashdance and Fame either became a movie adaptation or a Television show.
Absolute voice of an angel, the passion and power...gone too soon RIP Irene
What a nice pop song by Irene cara!
Q le pasó?
Falleció el 22 de noviembre de 2022, a la edad de 63 años...@@bryanomarfunespalacios401
I love this song and 80s forever Who agree with me? 💖💖💖🇮🇶
Long before there was Madonna, Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey there was home girl from the Bronx Irene Cara. She starred in the movie(Fame)and sang the title song from the movie of the same name.She also had the number 1 song(Flash Dance) from the movie Flash Dance.

I do IRENE CARA FOR EVER
👋👌
One more incredibly talented artist who is now joining other incredibly talented artists on the other side of the veil. Rest in peace, Irene Cara. The 1980's sounded better because of you.
Not only does she have an outstanding voice but she also co wrote "What a Feeling"
This was three years before I was born.. first time seeing her.. wow she's beautiful. Rest in peace.
man she hit it out of the park, she will be missed what a class act performer.
man
Who will write and sing thoses songs today ?
Thank you for giving us your voice Irene. You'll be deeply missed!!
Yes she is ❤️❤️❤️
This is perfection. A great singer, lyricist dancer and natural beauty. Thank you Irene Cara. You are remarkable.
Shame she's dead , made it to 63.
R.I.P. Angel xx
She died
@@Ytnzy250 David Icke is a bullshit artist
Really miss her 😢@@magadestroyer4062
Don't believe she is dead ......................................................................today is a bad day ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, every day when remember that .............. Y love this woman ...............
An amazing talented woman. An incredible voice, a great dancer and choreographer. Thank you Irene for your music and your life. Rest in Peace
Wow, first Olivia, now Irene, smh. Both artists pulled me through rough times as a teenager and I'll never forget them for it! They just don't make vocalists like them anymore, incredible talent. Rest In Peace and thank you both for all the sweet memories 😢.
So true, when I was a teenager, I grew up with their music, I loved their music so much ❤️
It has been a very sad year with the passing of some of the most beautiful female vocalists. Olivia Newton John, Irene Cara, and just slightly more recently the passing of Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. Music is very personal for the listener as much as it is to the messenger. I thank them all for sharing their voices with the world, and conjuring my own emotions through the power of song. Such a feat, to be able to positively impact people in that way. They are worth so much more than the record deals. RIP.
@@janepanich2576 Well said.
Right there with you.
Yes I CONCUR as a teenager I had my dusty rose leg warmers and I loved GREASE THE MOVIE... HAD a crush on JOHN TRAVOLTA😂😂😂💖😉
Memories...I remember as a 23yo grad student when this song/movie came out and being blown away at the beauty of Irene Cara..her voice created such a deep longing. Even today in 2023 I get emotional over it. A total crush.
I hope history remembers her as one of the greatest voices of all times♥
100%
this is pure talent, real voice, real music. no flesh, no digital and no auto tune
She lip synced. But I agree the original song is excellent.
Lip synch
Agree.....
She is very talented.
#Lipsync
She has an incredible voice and...my god, she is so beautiful...
Major crush
Fantastic!!
Good.
Oh YES she is!
She isn’t that pretty
Como não ser nostálgico em 2023? Anos 80, a melhor época. Quem viveu, viveu.
R.I.P.-"IRENE CARA"... Timeless classic from a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel 😇🙏😭
RIP Irena Cara. One of the few remaining genuinly talented artists gone too. Clean music, the 80's ruled.
In my book, this song is one of the signature songs from the 1980s.
Definetly!!
THE Signature Song!
Absolutely
I'm ok with that
Agree 👍🏼
Such a loss...what a talent...what a voice!! I pray the good lord will grace us with the likes of Ms. Cara again!!
One of my favorite songs of all time. Such a beautiful voice she had. R.I.P Irene
Hello Jennifer
How are you doing today?
RIP Irene Cara 💔😢 Seeing the Rock Steady Crew, Crazy Legs included, is soo legendary! Hip-Hop and breaking were taking their first steps into the larger world! Thank you Irene and "Flashdance"!
Another 80s icon to heaven 😪💫
70s and 80s were the best time to have growing up....takes me back to those best and peaceful years
Agreed! Born on Oct 7 '80 I'm a Reagan baby and a 90s teen lol

We will keep dancing for you Irene. The impact this song has had is priceless. Thank you ❤❤❤
RIP Irene... Your music has been the soundtrack to millions of people's lives. When we listen to your songs, it transports us back to a time of era that we all lucky and blessed to have lived through (the 80s) Thank you so much Irene 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
@Mark Thaddeus you said it perfectly just like I felt God bless you and all her fans RIP Irene 🙏🏻 RIP YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!
Descanse em paz essa música fez parte da minha adoro
Eu amo essa música
Yes she left behind a great legacy.
❤
I love this age of music! I’m 35 but luv it! New music is so fake
compulsive, compelling, hypnotising, soulful, passionate, beautiful, unforgettable. Wow...such energy and beauty. Irene Cara had it all. Boy i miss the 80s..i now realise how lucky i was growing up back then as a teenager. Shame it only had a smattering of applause at the end. This is one of the very best out for getting you out of your seat and just letting it rip!!. God bless you Irene Cara
Her performance here should be studied in every music school. THIS is how you become the real deal. You give 110% every time.
Its not a live performance she is lip synching can't you tell lol!!!
@@gerardofollano8417 I didn't say she sang it live. I just said that her performance shows why she is a top 40 recording Star. A shinning star.
150%,jaja
@@gerardofollano8417 but 40 years later here we are. Will you be remembered two minute from now ,,,,,, LOL
@@rael5469Your exact words "Her performance here should be studied in every music school" lol!!!
Esto es un himno de los ochenta y es gracias a esta bella canción por el que muchos se identificaron, se esforzaron por alcanzar sus metas, lo lograron y se superaron. Descansa en paz mi adorada Irene y gracias por tus aportes al mundo del cine y la música pop.
This is FAR from being a hymn.
Bien dicho.
@@MrCJ-qz9dl May be not a hymn, yes it can be a hymn, but definitely "un himno"! Ask people from the 80's and 90's, especially young women and girls if they thought so. It inspired dance and fashion and going for it! Yes, it could be a hymn too!
Nos dejó este himno para los que éramos jóvenes en ese tiempo, está canción nos impulso a superar los obstáculos que encontrábamos en nuestro camino. Paz en su tumba😥

A song that defines the 80s decade in an extraordinary way. Irene will forever be remembered.
2020 and this song still makes you move
makes you move to where.?
Yes
Me.And i love it!!!
oh yeah!
41 Films to the left to the right than turn around and get down like James brown
Irene was such a class act she didn't need dancers to distract the audience from her performance.
Scott Dickie, The reason she had the dancers there was to try to expose the world to the then-new dance art of Break Dancing. Now you know the rest of the story.🎼🕺💃👍
Real talent. No autotune. Just pure raw talent
Miss that voice. RIP always here with us still and left us too soon.
I remember hearing this song as a child many years ago. RIP Irene Cara!!! 🙏🏾
some people , try their whole life to make a mark, but Irene Cara, did her whole life to inspire other people and children to make it count❤❤❤ thanks Cara 🙏🏽🙏🏽jesus loves you
Love the breakdancing in the background and Irene sang like an angel. Take me back for a day to the 80s pleaaaase!!!
For a day? If I could go back there, I wouldn't come back... Heils NO! The 80s was like the the 50s, one of those great decades when everything was going right. And then the Clintons mucked it up afterwards. 😠
Descanza en paz Irene, eres grande, dejaste un legado en tu música, hasta siempre 😔
Que le paso?

This song came out while I was in middle school in 1982. This was the year my childhood friend died from leukemia. He was my fishing buddy that I will always remember.
Drinking a beer to your buddy. You are beautiful and remembered. Honest respect and esteem. God bless your soul.
I am from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, born in 1994. I love this music and listen to it with emotion. For me, these are great songs. Will someone listen to me?🖐🖐🖐

One year away from this world. Connected to us forever. Thank you for shining your light so brightly, Irene.
The voice that escorted my early days so many times passed away far too early. Thanks for an everlasting feeling Irene and R.I.P.
The 80's a gift of God.
Yes Indeed 👨🏻🏫🕊
You do realize older people say that about the 50's, the 60s, the 70's...
agree... economically and politically too.. that was around the time when the Cold War was about to end too.
Ronald Reagan could have sparked a nuclear Armageddon. Very dangerous times, with elderly, frail & paranoid leadership in the Kremlin. (Brezhnev Chernenko Andropov)
I love this Lady!!! She always out danced anyone she shared the stage with.
She is a superb Woman, an incredible Talent, a gifted artist, a magnetically riveting combination of Person, Body, Voice, and so much More.
Very sad news to hear that Irene Cara passed and at such a young age of 63. Time goes by so quickly. It seems like only yesterday, early 80's, when I first heard your songs and lovely voice. Thank you for the inspirational music. Rest in God's eternal love and peace forever. 💖🙏🕊💖
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for all talent with no autotune
Well, it's the studio recording (lip sync), but we know what you mean.
@@Larryjo44 U sure it's lip syncing?
@@davemwangi05 Yes. Just listen to the studio version and this one. This is a common practice for most if not all musical guests on shows like, American Bandstand, Soul Train, Solid Gold etc. It's a time is money thing. If she were to sing it live, and made a mistake, they would have to start over and keep doing it until it was perfect. This is all scheduled, what if she was sick that day, or had other issues with her voice? They can't reschedule because of artist schedules...etc. Much easier to let her lip sync...and the average viewer doesn't notice. One take and it's done....in the can, as they say. All the artists did it back in the day..and even today.
That's fucking live!!!
@@denverseduco3161 Any idiot can see she's lipsyncing.
The grace in her dancing, such a beautiful woman.
1980's feel good music, and there was no shortage of that.
Shes beautiful lovely hair, women were so natural back then.
I really miss those times
Women looked a lot better in the 1980's than now.
damn right, gorgeous girl
Me,too.I miss those time,too.
No tattoos or facial piercings... makes all the difference.
Mais uma estrela que se Apaga, descanse em paz "Irene Cara" 🇧🇷(26/11/2022)
So many great singers in the 80s have gone so early and no one can replace them
She was so great singer and dancer! This song was and is still wonderful. I think she deserves a tribute ❤❤❤
Omg she’s absolutely adorable!
Linda demais, sua voz e sua beleza escumunhal
This is exactly what I was going to comment!
She beyond adorable. This is real beauty right here.
C&C Phx - her beauty is about God’s gift to mankind. She’s something else! Thank you Lord for the woman you made. We could never ask for anything more, from our youth into our old age. If only we really knew how to be grateful, humble, trusting, gentle, giving, strong, always true, and protective of her and for her in the truest sense. For all our weakness, shortcomings, thoughtlessness, cruelty, impatience, and selfishness toward the incredible gift You gave us, we are sorry and ask first for Your forgiveness. Give us the strength to persevere and begin anew with a clean heart to try ever harder to cherish the woman with a love like You have for us all. And please Lord, give her a humble loving gentle heart when she, also in her human weakness, lives her life together with us. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but in spite of this cold world, it can be done with the help of God’s grace.
Agree, fantastic talent, gorgeous woman. This was a worldwide hit. A song even the most awkward dancers felt like boogying to, irresistible!
No half naked singer or back up dancers just pure solid musical entertainment!
Ruben Dfelgadillo
She doesnt even have auto tune or fake boobs.
She can give Beyonce, Mary j and them hip hop artist some singing lessons
She is wearing a sheer top showing her nude coloured top lol.
Yeah, I miss those half naked dancers!
This song reminds me of my grandmother. When I wish younger. Before I had my tonsils taken out, I actually had a nice voice. My grandmother used to ask me to sing this to her. She told me one day I would be on TV singing this to her. She had fantasies lol. She was my biggest fan

what a feeling during the 80's
Super!!!!
True it kinda makes me wanna cry
You never know, I was born in 1999 in Chile, and here I am, listening to these songs and enjoying the hell out of them.
There's always tons of songs I haven't heard even once that could end up being one of my favorites, youtube allowed that to happen.
Was 11 years old when this came out. Such great memories
