[agn1743]

She can really belt this one out.

[esteticaprudente]

Maravilha, é muita interpretação. Sem nenhum rebolado e as atenções são para cada gesto, palavra e ação. Uma Diva.

[MrSecrets22]

Dame Shirley is a National treasure.

[paulo39667]

Fantastic, sorry never saw her, but can feel the emotion in every single word. Thanks Dame Shirley Bassey

[pontedupre007]

WOW !!! Not too many singers maintain a good voice for many years as SHIRLEY has done. This lady deserves a special award only for her long career.

[desdequeensny]

[MrMushasii]

She's from this world, we should all be glad she is.

[retired01ifly]

Good God she gives me goose bumps to hear and see her sing. Unbelievable,One of a Kind,Amazing!

[IFINEVERSING]

this is 1997 she is still a true star and a legend

[deadcalm2011]

I adore this woman. I adore her voice. I swear, she could sing from the Yellow Pages and l would still be brought to my knees listening to her. Rock on Shirley, may you live and sing forever you Welsh beauty.

[linnyandjosie]

[gentelc]

Yorkshire mother, Nigerian-West Indian father, born in Wales. This woman can sing rings around any of those young kids on American Idol. I LOVE HER!

[hombreingles]

Great - but NOT 1979 though !!! Try quite a few years later.

[ElusvOptmst]

Gorgeous lady. What a fantastic outfit. Wow

[sofosethnik]

[sofosethnik]

[daisy12si]

[cirej25]

I love it!

[kevinkasri]

Deze vrouw is geweldig. Wat een krachtige stem! - This woman is amazing, what a powerful voice she has!

[RogerNetherlands]

@kevinkasri

En nog steeds een enorm krachtige stem met haar 73 jaar. De drie James Bond nummers zijn misschien wel de bekendste uit alle JB songs. Wat veel mensen niet weten is dat ze uit Wales kwam, en niet uit Amerika, maar dat komt gewoon omdat ze zo'n grote diva uitstraling heeft.

[alexandralochore]

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

[whatigot2say]

she looks more white here than she does today.

[MrMinkajajany]

hey where hell are all the real singers this chick is working over time this is great and the live music just ads  to it we are being cheated today with these so called singers that are out there this was great

[anewyawkr]

Eda...

I just wanted you to know that I thank you from the bottom of my heart for first being the person you are, and secondly for helping Mi to be the person I am. Whether you know it or not, if there was any one person in this world that helped Mi to accept who I am, the way I am, it was you. You came into my life, this strong, giving, caring, loving person who embraced life despite all it's adversity, all it's ridicule... and was always true to yourself. I admired you, your strength, your pa

[alkclark]

@dirkhaarlem The song is from 1979 but this performance is from 1997

[maxnema]

She's Welsh... not British.

[ggheysens]

@maxnema Well, Welsh is not a nationality no? Just a socio-cultural affinity.... You have a Welsh passport?

[varky11]

@maxnema What does her passport say?? wales dont have a passport of there own, it come under the British one. Do you have a passport? & what does that say British or welsh. I rest my case numpty.

[Thorneycroft1937]

@edwardjames50

It's 1997

[josiane76]

she was born in Wales and yes she is Amazing!

[himhh]

It is not 1979! Early 90's I would guess...

[Thorneycroft37]

@himhh

1997

[kitcherella77]

That's why she has class!!! A true performer

[CleosAintPeter]

Love shirley and this is a great rendition...but I always have to wonder why she kinda rushes through the lyrics on this song. I think it's to save breath but I'm not sure.

[Rosannasfriend]

@CleosAintPeter she likes to rush through her words so she can sing the big notes longer.

[CleosAintPeter]

@Rosannasfriend Ah kk that's cool. Nice to have that little mystery solved :) thanks

[latrinenazi]

@CleosAintPeter Her doing that is a style thing.

You could say that after singing if normal, back in the olden days, she is now taking the part (acting) of the person about whom the song is.

.

Or, that it is indeed her good self, who she is singing on behalf of.

But, remember that as a professional, she would not disclose or let on her personal feeling about the song and her own private life, etc.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[OsonsLaVertu]

elle est extraordinaire

[PeaceFan1]

What the hell is she saying ?? You can't understand cuz she rushes through the lyrics and swallows the words ...here we go again, this is one of the funnier video's .." THIS IS MYYYY LIIIIFFFFFFEEEE !! LMAO

[44joints]

@PeaceFan1 ...She's saying " this is my life and I can sing the song the way I very damn well please!"

[donkiddick08]

@PeaceFan1 you again! you watch more bassey vids than me and i love her! admit it, you like her really!! "it's time to open up your closet, your life is a sham till you can say, hey world, i am what i am"!

[jelly2legs]

@PeaceFan1 get your ears syringed

[Marianisa1]

awesome....

[gaf1908]

The woman is amazing! She was live in Uk last week! Watch the vid and get the same chills that she sends down the spine!!! In her 70's!

[pisomojadoresbala]

the america's voice......GREAT VOICE,GREAT,GREAT.... I LOVE THIS WOMAN...SHRELEY YOU STILL THE NUMBER 1

[ggheysens]

She is not American. She is British!

[latrinenazi]

@ggheysens No, she ain't she is a Monégasque.

She pays tax there and doesn't come to The UK, for any more than three months per year.

Cheers.

from,

del-boy

[hilarisopessolvo]

@ggheysens she's welsh actually x

[llyndel]

@ggheysens She is Welsh, from Cardiff, Wales

[misteeq64]

@llyndel I dont know what is in the water in Wales to create so many great performer .Bassey ,Jones ,Anthony Hopkins ,Richard Burton LOL

[rikkimarklasvegas]

@ggheysens oi shes not British shes welsh !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gatanegro1]

@rikkimarklasvegas please tell me you are not Welsh, as sorry but you would give a great nationality a bad name...

[gatanegro1]

@rikkimarklasvegas please tell me you are not Welsh, as sorry, but you would give a great nationality a bad name... Wales, Scotland England and N.Ireland are British, however, N.Ireland can also be Irish as they can have both passports.

[varky11]

@rikkimarklasvegas Can you tell me when the welsh got there own passport, its news to me. I always thought wales was part of the United Kingdon of Gt Britain & Northern Ireland. I guess with a name like rikkimarklasvegas you must be one of those mixed up americans who dont know what the fuck you are. Well thats america for you.

[rikkimarklasvegas]

@varky11 there seems to be a misunderstanding rikki was born and raised in n.wales and has a british passport,i mark was born in dublin,s.ireland with an irish passport with option to have a british passport as i moved to england when 10 .we now live in usa but depending on what country you were born that country will have their language ie wales has welsh and english and ireland has irish and english ...and the english one prob has english and muslim by now lol again sorry for the confusion

[celtdownunder]

@ggheysens no she is not British, she is Welsh, there is a difference, we Welsh do not class ourselves as British.

[stonejacks]

@ggheysens Sorry she is Welsh she is ours.

[ReturnOfJackDawson]

rofl, yes she's british.

[hatesflying]

Why oh why did she destroy that beautiful face. I loved her "old" face. She is still beautiful. But l miss her old face. Her voice is still AWESOME! Man o man....the one's today couldn't hold a candle to our Shirley!!!!!!

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! ps STOP with the plastic surgery YOU are beautiful just as you are!

[zionah8]

I remember this voice, but I didn't know who she was until now. I remember the voice from the James Bond movies. This lady is the BEST! Wow!!!! I'm 36 and I just discovered her. Amazing

[dieggyis2ndlordpaul]

wish i could sing like her.

[minkajajany]

where are performers like this today? i feel im being cheated or maybe i was born too late. i guess i have to settle for the britneys. whitneys. and all that junk. well no way thank you u tube. this is good stuff  to hell with all that trash from today. most of them need singing lessons this would be a good film for them to learn by

[leopold2369]

True true......check out the Dusty and Liza vids......god that sounds gay !!.but they could sing.......

[MrBrianNZ]

Well said .. you pay your money and you get your choice..but the choice is so limited. There are so few people I would pay to see and come away feeling I had my bucks worth .. and Dame Shirley is one of a few. I miss being entertained .. I feel cheated by the over produced few , and would willingly pay to see "talent" ...trash is what we are given with so few exceptions.

[mrfoltz]

Amen to that...... were have all the "real" Divas gone????

[braileanul]

perfect !

she uses half of the power of her voice

amazing

[philifaceman99]

Holy shit 30 years ago

[deeeedefan]

I just love this woman

[geoma1956]

FABULOUS BRAVO

[jaderrw]

Is it me or she just tonguetwisted in 1:49

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

Clear the wax out of your ears my friend

[jaderrw]

I always do so I guess that's not the case. I am not trying to put her down 'cause I love Shirley Bassey and love this song. Anyone can have a little flaw, even the great dame Shirley Bassey. And also maybe you can't here it because when you click on the 1:49 it goes to 1:50-51 which is not what I meant.

[HAPPYTHELEAF]

GUESS ITS JUST A GLICH, MY APOLOGY..

[misteeq64]

lol or find an ENT specialist .

[misteeq64]

No my friend this is Dame Shilrley Bassey not Leona Lewis .Their is no tongue twisting when talent and experience sing lol

[jaderrw]

Yeah, maybe is a glitch but who knows. Has Leona Lewis tongue twisted?

[priscillaofmanila]

Well said!

[tonyboy322001]

I will never fed up of watching this video clips. Speciallt, "this is my life" superb performance!!! no one can beat SHIRLEY BASSEY..BRAVO!!!

[helenlawson]

1979 or 19 years later in 1998, either way, she still sounds stunningly brilliant and looks beautiful.

[paulkasabian]

Thank you God you created wonderful singer for we can listen her none God Bless You Shirley

[ZheLuizThermasDiRoma]

It was her last public show in Antuerpia (Belgium) during the Diamond Awards Festival...I don´t remember the year... Unforgetable performance on the stage! Perfect! Voice and "mise-en-scène"!!! That´s the reason she is a TRUE DIVA FOREVER...Miss BASSEY! We do love you!

[OceanBlue82]

this performance its from the mid 1990's, not 1979. (i just can't see it on her hair look, no doubt!!!)

[rcwillenhall]

sure is.... it's 1998!
