One of the greatest female vocalists of all time and such a good hearted lady. Annie Lennox is incredible

Annie Lennox is criminally underrated.

I was here in person, and gotta say it was prob the most moving, touching performance I have ever seen! The images and words on the screen combined with the lyrics and Annies voice were just mind blowing. Even now 16 years later I can still feel it like yesterday. My biggest memory of that amazing day.

I think what makes this performance so poignant is the respect paid to Annie and this song. When she stops, you could practically hear a pin drop. She commands the respect and admiration of the audience. Seriously, what a beautiful performance.

ANNIE, not just one of the most beautiful voices of all time…but must be a beautiful human being, she does so much great humanity work and never boasts it….her voice has been with me since the eighties and I still listen to her regularly…..big shout to Dave and thanks to you both for Eurythmics…still a timeless catalogue of musical wonder, I hope to take Annie’s voice in my soul to the next life….” The Miracle of Love”

Her songs and her way to sing are magical. Its a gift for human beings. Thanks Annie

Thank you Annie. We lost so many good friends to this horrible illness. May a complete cure be found soon

Power, emotion, in her voice... Simply amazing.

Makes me cry, no children should have to die with disease. They should be playing, riding bikes and eating icecream. RIP
