Forever fantastic! ❤🎶🌟🎶💖
Best Female Rocker & Awesome Guitarist ever! Y'all rock!!! 💜🎸🎤
Amazing. Pat is 73 years old, sounds fantastic. She had vocal cord surgery quite a few years back and she got back most of the power and range and control of her voice. It's still raspy – but in a healthy way. What's more important is she has the health and vitality to deliver this kind of performance and her handsome husband is still getting it done too.
Love Pat ! Been a fan since she started!! ❤
Rock nd Roll strong force we need more of
Folks notice the correct way to hold an omnidirectional microphone!!! If you paid all that money to fix your teeth ( Taylor Swift etc) U DONT HIDE YOUR FACE AND SWALLOW THE MIC!!
Absolutely awesome moments with artist Pat. Magical voice. Masterpiece
For me, the best performsnce of the night!
Winner from day one!! She perfect for the country greatest with her voice you can hear so many of the 80s and 90s women of country music!!! Love her voice ❤
It's awesome to watch singers my age performing today. We played these songs when I was in the second band I was involved with in the early 1980's.
Love ❤Pat 73 Where Age is truly a Number!
Beautiful still in 2026!!!❤🎉 Damn still good looking and what a stage performance with one of our original women rock and rollers from the 70s and 80s!!❤🎉 Pat🎉🎉
Wow! Pat Benatar looks and sounds amazing! What an inspiration – Neil is fantastic- WE NEED MORE PAT BENATAR
Superb look how she’s also cared for herself and her beautiful voice and I believe she has an opera background. I’m not sure always loved her. Still love her.
That was AWESOME!!!
Good Lord She is so unbelievably 🥵. Performance was amazing!!
I loved this. They were the best mentors the show has ever had too. Billy Idol was so good too. My favorite night on American Idol.
Good job Pat I'm sure my Mom and Johnny loved those remainings. May they both RIP
They killed that. Legends y'all.
Been a fan of Benatar/Giraldo since the 80s.Now, in my late 50s, I am grateful to have seen them live countless times.
Fabulous and fun !
Now that right there IS THE QUEEN OF ROCK!!! Pat still sounds incredible & looks fabulous too!!! Rock on Pat, Rock on!!!!
Awesome couple
AMAZING ❤❤
AWESOME PERFORMANCE
QUEEN AND KING!!
was that good? DUH!!!
I
LOVE
THEM
❤❤❤
Grandma and grandpa! 🤣
Having to perform in front of that panel is pretty sad. Pat and Neil are legendary, that panel is nothing more than TV sensationalism.
Pat Benatar is still the Queen.
Pat and Spyder are still rocking it
The way that I rocked out to Pat and Neil and it was awesome
What the heck has Carrie done to her face? Bad plastic surgery, or too much botox…. or what?
❤ all time favorite singer !!!
They both sound Amazing .!!!! ❤❤❤❤
These two are lightening in a bottle! Pat and Neil are one of the best music duo's ever
Still beautiful.
Ill never understand why they bring down the great vibe of Heartbeaker with Ring Of Boring. Wth, theyve been doing that for years. No point when you can add of their other hits in place of this deadful part in the song. My opinion
I just watched this on TV today great performance🎉😂❤
Get a different wig.
The most successful marriage in the music industry.
They both look so good & still killing it!
