Jennifer Beals
Irene Cara is best known as a singer of movie themes, though she worked as an actress since childhood. Raised in New York City, she appeared on Broadway in 1967 in the musical Maggie Flynn at age eight and can be heard on the cast album for the show The Me Nobody Knows. From the age of 16, she was turning up on television and in films, including a part in the TV mini-series Roots 2 in 1979. In 1980, she was catapulted into stardom and a singing career by her appearance in the film Fame, for which she sang the title song, an Oscar-winning Top Ten hit. Also from the film was her Top 40 hit “Out Here on My Own.” In 1983, she topped the charts with “Flashdance…What a Feelin'” from the movie Flashdance, a song she co-wrote that won another Oscar, and Cara won a couple of Grammys for her contributions to the soundtrack. Her What a Feelin’ album included the hits “Why Me?” and “Breakdance,” and she also made the Top 40 with a third movie theme, “The Dream (Hold on to Your Dream),” from DC Cab. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
Jennifer Beals stars as Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel-mill welder by day, and bar dancer by night. Harboring dreams of a career in ballet, she is given financial support in this endeavor by her boss Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) and moral support by demanding but big-hearted instructor Hanna Long (Lilia Skala). The film’s signature scene is, of course, Alex’s water-drenched dance audition, largely performed in long shot by her dance double Marine Jahan. Essentially an old-fashioned backstage yarn, Flashdance was given a contemporary spin by its pulsating, musical score featuring the Oscar-winning Best Song, Flashdance…What a Feeling, (music by Giorgio Moroder, lyrics by Keith Forsey and Irene Cara).

  1. First, when there's nothing
    But a slow glowing dream
    That your fear seems to hide
    Deep inside your mind
    All alone, I have cried
    Silent tears full of pride
    In a world made of steel
    Made of stone
    Well, I hear the music
    Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
    Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
    What a feeling
    Being's believin'
    I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
    Take your passion
    And make it happen
    Pictures come alive
    You can dance right through your life
    Now I hear the music
    Close my eyes, I am rhythm
    In a flash, it takes hold of my heart
    What a feeling
    Being's believin'
    I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life
    Take your passion
    And make it happen
    Pictures come alive
    You can dance right through your life
    What a feeling
    What a feeling (I am music now)
    Being's believin' (I am rhythm now)
    Pictures come alive
    You can dance right through your life
    What a feeling (I can really have it all)
    What a feeling (pictures come alive when I call)
    I can have it all (I can really have it all)
    Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)
    (Call, call, call, call)
    I can have it all (being's believin')
    Being's believin' (take your passion)
    Make it happen
    (What a feeling)
    What a feeling

  2. Thats so sweet Jennifer Beall made that Sarah movie😊

    And technically her fringe ankle boots were white and I filled them with cooked carrots in 1985 because I didnt want to eat them. She was so pissed. 😂 and her porschr was hunter green not black. She specifically wanted that color. She worked at Tattletales back then.

  3. Esta es la Canción en Inglés que puedo asegurar es también la de mi Vida ya que refleja todo lo que me gustaría haber hecho en mi Vida y si el sueño de Alex,la Protagonista de la Película también es el mío,razón por la cual me identifico y desde que salió al Mercado aún en los 90's me la han puesto en los lugares en donde he estado aún Recluido ( en la Cárcel).Saludos desde Durango,Dgo.,en México.
