[vallgron]

she's pretty weird and posh still she makes great music

[karenitelouise]

'there was me, in a pair of fairy wings, trying to be Courtney Love'

<3

[bond007db9]

Sorry Florence posh birds dont rock !

[mingomango2]

the ad at the end ruins it...

[CrackersGanza]

I love how she isn't fake tanned, caked on make-up and her hair is barely perfect eg. In kiss with a fist her fringe isn't like... glued down with hairspray and products. There is something about her and i am just addicted. There is no way to express the way i feel towards her music. I am 14 so everyone loves all this fake music that is so... modified and meaningless or about the same thing. I bought her album last week and couldn't be happier!

[liamis01177]

@CrackersGanza @CrackersGanza im 14 to :) and im going to the hospital tomorow to find out if my mum is dead in her hospital bed... (cause they dont know and they have done a scan which will tell them if shes dead or not and we are going to find out tomorow) and florance's music has got me through it all. i <3 florance with a passion.

[CrackersGanza]

@liamis01177 I wish you and your family the best of luck and it is amazing what good music can do for the heart :) If bad things happen shut your bedroom door and just let your body dance whatever way you feel with her music, that's what i do and it makes everything in my mind seem ok! <3

[liamis01177]

@CrackersGanza yeah..... just found out my mums in a coma... which is good cause shes not dead and she can come out of it from a day to a few weeks.

[Maggielicious21]

@liamis01177 hope she can come out of it soon =)

[liamis01177]

@Maggielicious21 ty =] and yeah has come out of it

[Maggielicious21]

@liamis01177 that's great! :D this has just made my day.

greetings from Mexico!

[liamis01177]

@Maggielicious21 :D

[EEElenaK]

[Penguinsmacker0]

I have the same problem with the dark!!!!

[BlueAnchorAriel]

@Penguinsmacker0 Me too =)

[XxAwesomeKittyxX]

OMG I have trouble sleeping in the dark too! :D

Now I won't feel so bad for it because one of my favourite singers has that problem as well! XD lol :L

I love Florence's hair...it's gorgeous...makes me want to dye my hair red :P

[Penguinsmacker0]

@XxAwesomeKittyxX me toooo!!! and I'ma guy...is that a bad thing? :s

[XxAwesomeKittyxX]

@Penguinsmacker0 Idk lol o.o' But I know a 26 yr old who cant sleep in the dark and im scared of it bcuz i always think somethings gonna jump out and kill me.. idk why though ^^

[MrStarbucks10001]

You are amazing.....Love your voice & style of music/songs.

There's is an unsign singer who have a similar voice as you....infact I was listening to her on YOUTUBE and read someone's comment ...and your name came out.....that's how I found out about you...just a few minutes ago.

That other singer is...>>>KIMIJOLLYBAND....singi­ng a cover of TEARS FOR FEAR'S *Head Over Heels*

[MrStarbucks10001]

[oprescudiana]

she is wanderfull :D

[steesamb12345]

anyone else watching this becausee of project life size?

[KatiesMusic96]

@steesamb12345 haha thats the only reason i'm watching this as well :L

[TexanSkies]

Wow, she is really honest and really smart. That is so impressive. I love listening to her talk about her impressions of her life.

[guitarnublet]

She looks so pure, tranquil and almost timid when interviewed, but she's an absolute beast on stage! Amazing voice, and from what I've seen a quite charming personality as well.

[TeganandSaralvr]

Let me clarify this: don't thumbs down a video simply because you don't like, it, nobody cares that you don't. Do so, however if it is vulgar, insensitive, or offensive. Keep this in mind whenever you watch a respectable video even if it doesn't fit to your liking.

[csm031491]

she is the real deal. i feel like in the music industry there are a lot of people who are posers, who try and fit into a certain style or sell themselves a certain way, but she sings, writes music, and performs from a place that is real. you can tell that she is really passionate and talented as hell. i just can't believe her debut album is so amazing! i can't even wait to see what she releases in the future

[gummitierli]

she is just amazing <3

[gummitierli]

she is just amazing <3

[sorryaccessdenied]

i just found out about her 2 days ago but she is amazing beautiful voice, hair just beauutiful in general i love how she thinks outside of the box :)

[Tampa0123456789]

@sorryaccessdenied Me too i too just found out about her when i heard a song playing while i was in the market. I had heard the song before so i use my phone to I.D. it and once i found out who it was i came to you-tube and just couldn't stop listening to here. I actually went out and buy the whole "lung" album.

Listen to that music industry. People still buy music you know.

[sorryaccessdenied]

@Tampa0123456789 yeah i agree the first song i heard from her was "the dog days are over" i loved it! so now when i get some money on itunes im going to buy alot of her music. her music are a little different but its like art lol idk how but it is

[dreamonlittledreamer]

how gorgeous is her hair?

[MLwhitcomb]

im the same way about the dark

[lexywright454]

I love Florence and The Machine, she sings amazingly and her song lyrics... wow.

[caylie2010]

oh my goodness. she is such an inspiration to me. and we have so much in common. like so much stuff she said in the video i was like ME TO! haha she just amazes me so much, and gives me hope for what i want to do.

[MrAqeelrocks]

she went to reading at eleven

im 16 i can only dream of going

[MsFerna]

is that We're going to be friends, from the White Stripes in the beginning?

[SparksYukiSparks]

Oh my god, her voice is so tiny and her singing voice is so, powerful

[deepenhancer]

She's amazing. I lover her. I wish her all the best.

[drewby1xo]

this interview just made me like her 213423 times more... ans I liked her a lot before watching this <3

[kmonkey918]

I have loved her for the longest time and now all my friends are starting to understand why! I am hearing her everywhere now :)

[bakerschick95]

Ohmygosh, Florence I love you so much!! Marry me :) Your so amazing, you have such a unique voice and you know how to use it to advantage. And your stunning too. Please marry me!!!

[zolineplan]

''We had to use our walls as drums''

Thank you for the tip, Florence! I don't have any drums so...

[SuperTwilighter97]

KILLER LEGS !! KILLER ALBUM!!

[GabyVolleyball21]

i love her music, i love her accent... she's just AMAZING!!!

[MikeG506]

She's so beautifully and deliciously odd.

[trinibabiigurl4lyfe]

i love her.

[Beetlejuiceeeeee]

She has such a delicate little voice, but a BIGGGGGG powerful voice :'} i actully love her. <3

[aneldebruyn]

"Always attracted to... the glamour of sorrow... the juxtaposition between a beautiful song and painful subject material" sigh... i like Florence :)

[aneldebruyn]

"Always attracted to... the glamour of sorrow... the juxtaposition between a beautiful song and painful subject material" sigh... i like Florence :)

[BlackPhenix69]

@wardyladohaye Wow, are we even watching the same video??? WTF dude, she doesn't sound self absorbed at all, what do you think? That she's gonna talk about everything else but herself, your an idiot, it's an interview about her...honestly. This woman is not only talented beyond all reason, but she's intelligent too, this interview showcases that, she knows what she's talking about who she is, what she wants and where she is going with her music. Ugh, your comment frustrates me >=( seriously

[charbyteU]

@BlackPhenix69 Totally concur BP Ms.Welch is a performance artist extraordinheiress!

[Dakarn]

@wardyladohaye Yes. From now on, we should interview random people on the street, and have them give insights on other people, rather than interview the people themselves. This will allow the people to whom the interview is about appear to be more earth bound, and less stuck on themselves. This is a marvelous idea, and I can't understand why the thought of asking strangers for the story of someone else has never been done!

[ruteemateus]

I love the way she speaks *-*

[sogrungey]

What song is the one that is playing in the background, the first one?

[MeggieCook]

@sogrungey

It's called "Kiss With a Fist"

[MsStacey12]

@sogrungey kiss with a Fist.

[Lynn15]

Love her!

[ShewhoisSplit]

You know, I'm a fan of unique music, but I grew up on metal and heavy rock. I find a certain interesting quality to the subjects that Florence sings about, and though a lot of the time I'm off listening to Death and rockin' out to Opeth, I can turn around and thoroughly enjoy Florence's music.

[ShewhoisSplit]

I think the subject matter in music is very important honestly, and it's good to see another artist who focuses on music, vocals, general sound, and subject matter instead of just scribbling down a song and throwing it out into the mainstream.

Good job!

[lilycleo2]

I love Florence, her music, her lyrics and her sounds just give me a feeling of happiness for some reason I don't know why but I'm glad it does I really hope many more persons around the world will get the lucky opportunity to hear her music like I did and her album is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[Mai2l95]

"Lungs" is one of my favorit albums

[Karyniithaful]

Please make a video of Howl PLEASE!!

And in the interview is so loveable ♥

[paranoidjonasgirl]

love her this come out on my birthday

[SinisterConfessions]

wow.. no wonder why I like her. we have the same thinking process with the whole dark subjects in a beautiful song thing. I do that with my music and with my art and even try to show that in some of my videos I make here on youtube.

Florences music in general though could mean so much to any specific person. I whish there were more artists like her.

[aaltsoba]

She sounds really intelligent and puts across her thoughts behind a song really coherently, considering she's in an interview.

[violinmusicfan]

love sorrow and music together!

[begsyyyy]

love how her voice is so soft and then shes able to belt out tunes !!

[pauloignatio]

She looks so pretty as a redhead..!!

[DrasticDreamer5]

I love it where she talks about painful subjects being represented by beautiful songs. I really find her music and inspiration for paintings XD (I sound so much like a moody teenager lol)

[StepsOnFiire]

This girl is awesome! she's like the British Regina Spektor.

[Cheekapu]

I actually want to meet her so much!!

[teathermouth]

her voice sounds really different to what I expected.

[BebopWuvsU]

niiice its like all these skin heads and punks with changes and then theres me in fairy wings!!!!!!!! yes love ya florence!!!!!!!!

[LinnerDee]

why dont they just call the band 'Florence'

[ptrv881]

@LinnerDee her and isabella (her keyboard player) came up with it. she was florence robot and isabella was isabella machine but they shortened it to florence and the machine. the "machine" is isabella sommers

[Frenchdayz]

@ptrv881 Also known as "Sad sack" hence FLorence's tatoo on her left forearm

[xxXxSiLeNcExXxx]

I love her so much it makes me want to cry

[juicyjon611]

@xxXxSiLeNcExXxx i know exactly how you feel, i have in fact once cried, but i don't like to tell people that... :S!

[iSpudsi]

@juicyjon611 First time I heard Cosmic Love last year it made me proper cry. :( *facepalm* Oh and just to confirm, I'm a sixteen year old boy with a girlfriend of 3 years. :S

[juicyjon611]

@iSpudsi AHAHAHAHA you legend but seriously i get it lol

[iSpudsi]

@juicyjon611 thank god. xD

[MelMelxMelody]

I love the shocking shade of red hair! There hasn't been a time where I disliked red hair unless it was poorly done or it doesn't go along with your skin tone.

[silenceisdistance]

Florence is so amazing... I read somewhere that she first dyed her hair when she was only nine.

[DukeHyphington]

I dont think she dyed her hair because she wanted to be different... how lame and poserish would that be. She just likes the colour red.

[g9t6w1]

she so pasionate i luv her. i thinks she so un-- ... celebrity

[thealexahare1]

what an idiothole

[thealexahare1]

what a fanny

[thealexahare1]

what a fanny

[Finley4EvA]

its so weird how famous they've become in the last years, cause when I searched for any of their songs or interviews on youtube and the web years ago, I just found like some live vids and ONE interview.

I'm glad for them their music finally got the attention it deserves (:

[funnyfacerful]

she, you mean

[Finley4EvA]

@funnyfacerful

uhm..no, why?

[noonr001]

this interview is too formal

[acidoverphreak]

amazing voice!!

[spartan24775]

she sorta reminds me of hayley williams

[blatesKgal]

:O ellie goulding advert at the bottom... what a pisstake.

[blatesKgal]

i got a fringe like her and got asked if i was her on the way home... what a compliment! :)

[jbhelh]

Her natural hair colour is brown, but she wanted to be different and so dyed it red (L) Love her so much XD

[doodl3bugg13]

@jbhelh So she's not a real ginger?!?! NO!!!!

[afroza2007]

@jbhelh because having red hair is different? :P she's a neat character though.

[MrAqeelrocks]

@jbhelh haley williams wants to be here

[KittehFace]

her natural colour is mousy brown. still love her.

[SlightlyInsane94]

She's like 23 or 24, but she looks SOOOOOOO much older. The way she's dressed doesn't really help either. D:

[Gabdroid]

lungs is an amazing album

[CozXDC]

@Gabdroid Couldn't agree more!

[MADE510]

sHe is awesome!

[LovePeaceMichael]

I love this girl!

She seems so nice and friendly.. going to see her this month, can't wait!!

[blatesKgal]

how was it? i saw her in december... shes aaamazing :)

[deepenhancer]

She reminds me something of Roislin Murphy, I miss her

[ShonaJohnson11]

Most musician seem really shallow, they say things like 'like and um...yeah and I DUNNO' But Florence seems really deep, she's so inspiring and definetaly one of my number ones.

[Jaisee2k9]

her hairs beautiful. :'D

[stueyAfor1]

Who gives a fuck what colour her hair is??! Since when did this mean anything? It is a fucking colour get over it, it doesn't matter! You should know this.

[MaIcoImZieI]

Is she really red-haired, or is it coloured?

[TTHePERFECtiON]

I LOVE YOU FLORENCE!

[tommy12887]

She's from South London, in Camberwell.

[Yodoxin]

There's no way she's Scottish; that's deffinetly a southern-English accent.

[nemapalatala]

"..attracted to glamour of sorrow.." :)

she`s really nice

and i love the way she looks, non-plastic human, a real person.

[eyesabel22]

I need to see their tour with la roux so bad!

[mrjanaway]

what song is the sample at the end from ?

[lottie123999]

@mrjanaway its Drumming x

[lottywood]

she is so talented. I can't wait for her to go to america and show them talentless people who is boss <3

[MaIcoImZieI]

What would you know about talent? And she is not American, she is Scottish.

[lottywood]

Actually, she is from London. Get your facts right. And you'd be supprised and you don't even know me you complete tard.

[thevoncrumb1]

i think she is wonderfully talented i like the fact that she is so unique and is not trying to be somthing she's not..i hope she stays that way so i can continue to enjoy her music..without feeling like i'm listening to some robot singing and acting the way she thinks will please others. :)

[fantana124]

florence is the best thing about it, but the machine need more credit, they're all great musicians

[aislingcullen19]

Did she say narley?

[Lima547]

Florence go to Brazil pleaseeeee!

[FaultYesteryear]

3:40 lol

[giseler123]

wow japan and australia

im impressed =D

but its hardly surprising

they should come to germany too !!!

[nataliecox22]

she is amazing, every video, every performance is consistently good

going to see her live very soon, cannot wait

x

[thasurz]

I wonder why all these haters get on and watch Florence videos. Gtfo if you don't like her. You obviously don't know sh*t about her. She's awesome.

[banginghats]

Yes she is awesome. And if it wasn't enough that she's so talented, clever, creative and likeable, she looks stunning in this interview. God those eyes...

[thasurz]

Yes, well said. Her eyes are insanely gorgeous.. and I love how she can pull off that reddish hair. She's so attractive! I could watch her all day!

[loptopfloppi]

i was just saying my oppinion and btw i watched it cz im subd to this soo i jjst wondered what it was.sorry if u dont like the things is sed but i just dont like her

[thasurz]

for christ's sake, learn how to type/spell.

[loptopfloppi]

sorry i type in slang im trying to stop

[blatesKgal]

@loptopfloppi i know what you mean :D

[loptopfloppi]

finally someone who thinks the same thing

[blatesKgal]

@loptopfloppi im kidding... youre a wanker...

[MaIcoImZieI]

She has red hair. She is Scottish.

[theotherspice]

@MaIcoImZieI umm im scottish and dont have red hair...and my friends with red hair are either english or canadian... :/ maybe check out ur info before commenting because it comes across as arrogant...

[MaIcoImZieI]

Trust me, she has red hair, therefor she is either Scottish or Irish. She lives in London, therefor her accent, but she is still Scottish or Irish.

[theotherspice]

@MaIcoImZieI i dont know if ur trying to be funny, but yeh thats a stupid stereotype that nobody actually believes...execpt you? whatever think what u want :P

[hanziiXOXO]

bloody hell she is not scottish! :-|

[MrM0joRisin71]

@MaIcoImZieI her hair is dyed

[chilintheair654]

@MalcolmZiel I have naturally red hair...and I'm 100% English!

[MaIcoImZieI]

not possible...

[chilintheair654]

Well in all fairness, I think I'm more aware of my ethnicity:hair colour ratio than you are :)

therefore, you're wrong :)

[MaIcoImZieI]

I think I know more about Florence Welsh than you ever will, chilintheair654...

[ruethewhirl07]

@MaIcoImZieI

Florence Welch

[chilintheair654]

@MalcomZiel ( Okay that's...rather creepy) I'm not trying to disprove your knowledge of your stalkee, Florence, just your theory that someone HAS to be from Scotland or Ireland to be ginger.

[ehartwell84]

@MaIcoImZieI well, you failed on the name...

[thejimbobshow]

HER HAIR IS NOT NATURAL.

[MaIcoImZieI]

Are you saying that because she is talented, she can not be natural ginger?

[thejimbobshow]

No, if you read down below, there is a debate going on about if her hair is natural or not.

[InNewMusicWeTrust1]

How can you think that?!?

[loptopfloppi]

cz personally i think she cant sing i hate her anyway i think shes annoyin

[thasurz]

I'm just curious as to why all these people with bad taste in music spend your time watching her videos then.. if you don't like it, then go watch something else.. maybe someone who really can't sing. I don't understand how anyone could justify saying she can't sing. It's actually pretty funny to hear that. She f*cking rocks all day every day no question.

[banginghats]

The irony is that Flo is actually the best singer I've ever heard. I'm no spring chicken either.

[JosephineGhost]

i'd like to see you try and sing better than her.

[loptopfloppi]

anyone can sing btter han here lol if u call it that she "sings" lol

[JosephineGhost]

oh hah. i don't find this funny at all, she has a beautiful voice, and i'm sure the majority of people will agree with me. i don't understand, just because she's not the shitty, conventional popstar, people feel threatened by the fact that she's gonna make an impact?

[loptopfloppi]

hate her soooooooooooo much

[banginghats]

I love her soooooooooooooooooo much more

[loptopfloppi]

not suprised everyone likes her more than me lol

[thasurz]

why? what's there to hate? that's a pretty strong word. She's pretty amazing, actually.
