She did two performances of this on UK TV. She did Top of the Pops and The Des O'Connor show.Quote:

Thank you for sharing. I never saw this before. Love this song. Diana is so beautiful here.
It was a nice song but nothing more in my opinion. It was good promotion for the Voice of Love album which sold well over the Christmas period that year. Diana herself liked the song and she chose most of the songs for the album.Quote:

Let's not forget that YANA is not an MJ composition, but, alas, written by R. Kelly.:eek:Quote:

I have not seen that clip in 500 years, I totally forgot about it. Thank you so much for sharing it. It’s an interesting song, and she sounds well, but releasing it as a single is just a head scratcher for me. I love this clip. Thank you again.Quote:

Even Celine Dion has distanced herself from her work with him, by removing their song, "Angel" from all streaming and digital platforms, as well as the most recent vinyl reissue of her Christmas album.Quote:
