  • Shirley to sing the next bond song!

  • No disrespect to Dizzie but I love the bit when he sings 'Diamonds are forever' at 6:51 and then Shirley just pwns him on the singing!!

  • if theirs a god dame and dizzie are his perfect creation what a performance

  • am i the only one who thinks that gary barlow couldn't keep up and that dizee rascal performed much better with dame shirley thangary ever could hope.

  • Does anyone know why DSB has not toured the US for soooooooo many years..... ?

  • @TheGigzee08 Because she has more fans in Europa and Australia.

  • She is not just a national treasure but an INTERNATIONAL treasure!!!!

  • 3 dislikes? how can anyone dislike this??? how can anyone dislike the event?? im a metalhead (if u like) but this gig was awesome! and shirley was one of the highlights!!!

  • You know dizzee said that his dream duet would be with Shirley bassey before this, very lucky bloke:)

  • Shirley Bassey is just phenominal,how can anyone sing like that at 72,when most singer have retired 20 years earlier,her voice is more magnificent now than ever.we all agree she is unbelievable.

  • Wow! Me like very much.

  • is she a national treasure or what ?

  • One word: phenomenal! Great control from power to quiet. She slinks around like a tigress. Yes, the first attempt at the song went wrong and she restarted doing it perfectly. The 2nd version is here somewhere.

  • she is a true living legend no matter what !!!!!!!

  • Just one word for my fellow Welshwoman - FANTASTIC.

  • My God...I just witnessed the most outstanding and divine performance of recent times....Shirley makes me wish I was born earlier so I could've followeg her in her earlier years...70 and rocking it!!!

  • @SantiegoC 72 in this clip actually, And I agree!!

  • 6:40 Dame Shirley's gone gangsta innit!

  • Shirley, you are absolute living legend, you are amazing, thank you for your wonderful singing and persona xxxxxx

  • I wonder just how sad individuals they must be those three that have 'disliked' this video... Shirley Bassey have been singing since she was about 14 years old. So she's been using her magnificent voice for almost 60 years now!...And look at her. Foxy as ever and her voice is still a solid rock against time. She dwarfs them all as she's has for so many years... Thank you Shirley for staying as fresh and timeless as you do <3

  • Met Gary Barlows misses in Cilla's boyfriends 21st party in Woolwich, in about 1991. Knew I should have picked her up and carrued her, bomba wotsit or whatever, but maybe I did, Gary?

    Brilliany song, Gary, and let me know when you get into wife swopping.....

  • Dame Shirley is really beautiful, holy shot lol :O:O

  • She makes us believe, live is endless. Shirley Perfect! A living Icon! Timeless!

  • @dazzlertyler It is always said to leave room for the young. Totally agree, but as long as the parts will be given by young people "bitches" that more than shake her ass in the video can not do, I demand that 73 year olds like this, now as a bit 'vague but full of exuberant passion in the voice , continue until the last breath of their amazing life to remind us what it means to be an artist and singers. And be true DIVA.

  • dizzees a fucking legend !!

  • dame shirley bassey got some moves :D

  • youtube tory cunts

  • dame shirley was loving that i bet she never understood a word that came out of dizzee's mouth lol brilliant! :D and dame shirley's dancing was awesome :) x

  • Very cleverly edited. If you watch videos taken by people in the audience Bassey sings out of time before the chorus of This Time and the orchestra stop and they start again from the chorus.

  • @Zlactoc

    pedant.

    So what, you are talking about a Dame of us, from the gutter. I will gaggle my breath for her until the cows come home.

    Please, pal, you hard core Cameron Tory supporter, give respect for once in your life, you total cock.

  • @closertofiftythanyew I respect the Producers for covering up her outstanding fuck up, and as an editor myself I was simply interested by the cut-point in the video and thought I'd share it with others who may find it interesting.

    Now I'm off to drink expensive tea whilst I whack one out to a gold plated picture of Our Lord and Saviour, David Cameron. Farewell!

  • @Zlactoc

    I give up, with people like you, without empathy, totally blue. Goldfinger with the late John Barry, not touched by you no doubt, just go to your eventual no doubt cold grave,

    watch?v=MagCoUYvIXE

  • @Zlactoc she started over and fixed it. I know you're defending yourself to someone here, but no need to get disrespectful to Shirley. She's been around the block for awhile, a little error is allowed.

  • @Rosannasfriend

    Well said, she is 70 odd years of age for furck sake! Not still in her prime, and she would admit it - we all get old, eventually, even fecking Zlac bleeding toc.

  • @Zlactoc they don't start again from the chorus they start over completely

  • she stole the show,she allways does, shes the queen of song and we love her.

  • @mrmakemaday shut the FUCK up, pedo.

  • Wow, what can one say about this incredible legend still in her prime looking & sounding magnificent after decades...only Shirley Bassey & first experienced this amazing Diva in the early seventies and always a thrilling experience...Bravo Shirley, you rock!!!

  • @bradly2007

    I was there when this was filmed it was awesome she towered above them all that night , a legend , a real talent long may she go on , the audience loved every minute of it .

  • When Dizzee Rascal came out she was f***ing LOVING it! Awesome! I love Shirley Bassey

  • she looks adorable when she dancessssss

  • Just love this, 73 and has an open un-shouted Ah sound that few singers can perform at her age. She is as about as perfect as a popular singer you are ever going to get. Her voice has suited everything she has ever done. Dramatic, fun, and wow... a real show-woman 

  • BRILLANT!!!!!

  • Shirley Bassey LEGEND

  • The Best

  • Comment removed

  • Shirley has already done 3 James Bond songs--Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. (No other artist has done more than one.) Could a 4th be in her future?

  • @trwent

    I hope so, her new track No Good About Goodbye would make a new Bond movie proud. Also Nice Men is amazing.

  • Amazing !!!!!

  • Who are the two people who disliked this :| IT'S SHIRLEY BASSEY.

  • from 4:06 !!!!

  • Not bad for a girl from Tiger Bay!!

  • The excitement she generate is off the chain!!!!!!!! Long Live Dame Shirley!!!

  • If God was a woman, he'd sound like that.

  • @BrainComm487 how do you know that God isn't a woman

  • @tomandtom2 Good shout.

    Personally, I think God has the right to look and sound like whatever s/he wants. However, in my experience most people tend to assume he's "male".

  • @BrainComm487 Good shout yourself,

    It's mainly because people think men rein superior over women(which i don't we are both equal) therefore he/she is "male".

  • her voice is outstanding.

  • AMAZING!!

  • @zanith50 i think im going to have to, but as it was a childen in needs, charity gig, i wanted to buy it. o well

  • i want this on my ipod! but its no where to be found!

  • @TheKleeharris rip it from youtube

  • @TheKleeharris The track is on SHIRLEY`S cd `THE PERFORMANCE`  THIS WAS SPECIAL TO SEE

  • i watched it live :D

  • I love the audience in this video

  • Blimey!?She earnt her Dame Hood!Truely wonderful!x

  • Dame Shirley Bassey is truly one of kind and never will be replace by anyone for decades to come

  • Great until some rapper wanker ruined it.

  • @Photonzos best collaboration of 2009

  • @ItsMeOrYouShitHead

    No. Just shit.

  • @Photonzos took you 3 weeks 2 reply you sad fuck.. get off of youtube ya silly little prick

  • @ItsMeOrYouShitHead

    Still shit. The rapper looked utterly lame next to someone who can sing and has stage presence. The rapper really did ruin the performance. What a fourth rate wanker.

  • @Photonzos Agree

  • @Photonzos you've got no taste in music.. both versions of the same song are great.. whole point of a collaboration is to bring 2gether 2 ppl that normally wouldnt perform 2gether..

  • @ItsMeOrYouShitHead

    actually it is precisely because I can tell the difference between a highly skilled and engaged performer and a complete tosser that actually says I do have 'taste' as you put it.

  • I know that this comment is slightly unrelated but watching the quality of a performance like this where the artist sings live it's a wonder that more artists aren't discovered and remain successful who come from shows like the x-factor because they're more used to improving they're vocals through live performances; people like britney spears, cheryl cole etc. now can't sing because they rely so heavily on synthesisers and flashy routines and their voices get worse for lack of practice and use

  • the thing that's great about her age which makes her voice continue to become even more beautiful is that when she does such an old song like diamonds are forever she has not choice but to sing it live because if she didn't her voice would come out sounding 40 yrs younger and you'd peg it straight away; the reason so many of today's artist are so synthesised in their vocals is because they spend too much time lip syncing and not enough time singing and so the voice deteriorates with time

  • A truly class act, who is more than able to shine even when paired with a third-rater like Dizzee Rascal.

  • Hoping Christina will still be as good when she's 73, like Dame Shirley.

  • at 73...i just dont have words for how amazing this woman is.

    what a national treasure :)

  • This is simply fantastic. Buy the album; it's a classic. But her live performances are even better as can be seen here. It just gives me goose-bumps every time I watch.

  • Goose pimples or what. What a stunning voice. Love you Shrley

  • cara tb adoro essa diva não tem para ninguém, abração

  • Fantástica... única e inadjetível... o Brasil te ama!!!

  • Quando esta mulher vem ao Brasil? ... Nós brasileiros te amamos muito... é inadjetível... presença de palco única, voz, indumentária perfeita... uma Diva!!! Bravo DSB!!!

  • I just gasp especailly the roar when she enters the stage.

  • This Women is the best of any singer's from the late 50's early 60's and so lovely in spirit and charm, she has never changed and she continues to support the youth and misfortunate today.

    I take my hat off to Dame Shirley. Thankyou. David Foley U.S.A.

  • @JAMESOFTHEUK thanks for your reply-i saw her years back at carnegie hall-and i will never forget her

  • Iv'e been loving her since 1970 when my mother got her Never Never Never album. there have been a lot of good singers, Carr, Gorme', Houston, but just listen to her. There is no comparison. The diction, power and that special accent. Wow. I never want to be without her music. The best recording she ever did was on her Get This Party Started disc, listen to it, it is a re-cover of

    This Is My Life.

  • Amazing performance full of passion and control what a voice she has got.

  • What a talent does this woman ever give a bad performance , who ever is organising the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony in London , then look no further , one of the greatest voices in the world .

  • @cottingleybaby Absolutely! What a better time to celebrate one of Britain's greatest?

  • is it me or is dizzee and DSMs version a hell of alot better than Kanye West??

  • @gaitken83 well, I liked his too, if I'm honest. The best one though is DSB's alone.

  • @Rosannasfriend oh yeah i'm not questioning that at all.

  • I've been seeing this women appear on TV since 1958 and she has never put in a duff performance nor I have never heard sing a bum note. Just magic xxx

  • You either have it or you don't!

    I've never ever heard Dame Shirley perform badly - that's what you call star quality and dignity.

  • Who needs another when DSB performs?!!! :-O)))

  • She gets better and better.

  • @Marqueker exactly. as she gets older she looks more gorgeous but the voice remains very powerful. simply the best.

  • Stunning performance passion and control, what a stunning voice totally amazing.

  • How Old Is She, I May Have Thought She's Older Than She Is, But She Looks Magnificent!

  • This goes straight trow my heart, and makes me a very happy person.

    Just thinking of such a majastic voice, it makes me feel wonderfull.

    I wish for Dame Shirley a long and happy life.

    And hope to see her live sometime.

    Thank you Dame Shirley.

  • 72 and blew me away. Dame Shirley Bassey is Timeless.

  • Like i say all the time artist like Shirley, Tina, Pattie Aretha, Gladys etc... these are raw music, and got on with being mothers etc..... they sang live performed live hence why they all beat the shit out of so called DIVAS of today. they all have been round longer then 50yrs in the business. respect. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Shirley rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, she is 72! So many singers lose their voices altogether and few hold their registers. Shirley's voice is still as powerful with a slightly changed register and STILL she is probably the only person who can sing the way she can. Her latest album is AMAZING. This Time is only one of many standout songs. I am glad she has continued to occasionally record newer material because these newer songs suit the voice she has now-which to me has a richness now that it did not when she was younger.

  • I have never heard such an amazing voice in my entire life.. how amazing is she!

  • The voice,The applause, Her figure The spare bit of granny skin under her arms. And I was worrying her voice might be going. Stupid me.

  • She still looks fantastic as well as sounding it. So many younger artists could learn so much from her!

  • I was fortunate enough to see her at Carnegie Hall last week.......I just want more......I want to see her in concert by herself......She has that wonderful, powerful voice......To tell you the truth....she was the best one at the Rainforest Concert!!!!!! I just love her.....Please come back to NY Dame Shirley Bassey!!!!!!!

  • shes in her 70's and she can still hold that last note! damn damn shirlet you still got it. your still the best female singer ever :D

  • did anyone see dsb at carnegie hall last week with elton and sting.. she was gorgeous, classey and the only voice up there..i was sooo disappointed in the little press she got. whats wrong with new york ?? WE LOVE YOU SHIRLEY..

  • I've bought DSB's latest CD, an excerpt of which is the hit "This time". The whole CD is AMAZING! Just listen to the unparalleled condition of her supremely unique voice! Time has given her instrument a patina, a pathos, a power, a husky but warm and round color never heard sofar. Who can still sing like DSB at this "venerable" age? Young singers should have one unique inspiration in their career path, ie. DSB! The voice is improving with time. A true Golden Age Legend! Bless Her!

  • If i was a singer i would be discourage to even try to get on stage after this performance.

  • It was great until the rap crap started...

  • Sorry but nobody makes excuses for Mariah cause there's no need to.... But you are right!!! Shirley is on a high level for decades now and there's really no current artist who can be compared with Dame Shirley!!

  • Look Whitney...!! No Drugs, no Alc, no Scandals and hard work. Thats the way it goes..This Babe is 73 years. Salute..Dame Shirley !!

  • Guys,do you realize she's 72 years old here?! I'm in such shock, never in my life have I seen someone at 72 sing so well. She had me crying my eyes out. WOW. O my God.

  • i got 12 when that happend (A)

  • Hello from Paris/France . Excuse my english... Yes Oh Yes she's still the top of the top over the top !! I wish she could come to France to sing again for french people. Like Barbra Streisand did in 2007. Her voice is like the nuclear chain reaction of the sun, Pure Strong Energy so good to feel. She's more than a Diva. and as an Ultimate Artist, she gives and gives and gives...Thanks for posting this.

    André.

  • Dame Shirley, please come to the USA  We love you

  • femme eXceptionnelle ! pardon...

  • femme esceptionnelle !

  • Si belle! x

  • Dame Shirley ROCKS!

  • Beautiful! :)

  • a great performance

  • Magnificent performance! Best singer ever! Best artist ever! Living Legend!

  • Yes, its great to see Shirley performing new material. She is just getting better. Those lungs!!!!

  • Great song and performance! Good to hear DSB singing new and original material. She's looking fab to!

  • Get it Shirley! People make excuses for artist like Mariah, Whitney, etc when they sound horrible and say its because they are getting older, and Shirley has been singing for decades and still sounds the same! That's skill and talent!

  • and consistent, hard work!!! :)

  • Certainly she does not sond the same but still incredibly good!!!

  • @cameronstl i agree totaly it´s about taking care of yourself and your voice like Shirley always have.

  • @cameronstl

    MY VOTE!

  • @cameronstl You are right.. Dame Shirley is a serious vocalist.. she has gone through a vocal crisis a few years ago and she went back into study and fixed her problems.. Her voice is fabulous.. it sounds young for any age and she is 71 in this video!

  • The best performance of the night, dizzie killed it and always shirley blows me away

  • she should do a live recording , her voice is stronger tha ever.. i hope they can make an dvd from the electric prom

  • @TheMorewood . I agree it really is its more settled with More control. Its beautiful and she has a new elegance and shinging beauty. It is Soooooooo loving , warm, theatrical I cant get enough. More Please

  • You can go on and on about beyonce and other but I wonr be fulled anymore, I like this incredible singer and performer more than them and that cant change

  • YOur comment Annie, I agree. I got into Shirley about 9 years ago when I brought sec hand Cd and it always haunted me, I played it all the time. But knew noting really about the singer. Since the eletric proms and this performance she is my bed singer commerical singer of all time.

  • As for the comment EmperorGeorgeVII . that sort of comment is really tierd and out of date.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • This woman has really something special in her voice...... and with that age! Respect.

  • also were the BBC electric proms before of after children in need.

  • @EmperorGeorgeVII In what way does Dizzee sound like an ape? He has an amazing ability to move a crowd, I wouldn't call it looking like an ape, he's just got energy, he's not boring.

  • Isn't it wonderful to understand every word being sung, not like other singers these days, she is truly professional, still has a great voice and great performance, I have watched her since the early 60's - brainwashed by my Dad, but she is still the greatest performer I have ever seen !!

  • This is a song that he wrote and submitted it to Miss Dame Shirley Bassey to record She chose to sing it.. Now it is truly hers..

  • Uma das mais lindas vozes que o universo pode criar...

  • God, she is not just a Diva she is something more ...Phew!

  • I should be in bed, but I am captivate by Shirely and this song and this performance,ITS FUCKING BRILLAINT

  • Ps this song is beauty itself

  • Someone make a film with bassey as a very moving person as a role who sings. Its time for a new film like that. But not with any of the younger singers with bassey. Please.

  • agreed agreed agreed. This is like watching some very special diva from another world, its that good,

  • this diva is ABSOLUTELY fabulous. she is FANTASTIC. would loooooooooooove to see her in Portugal. pleaseee Shirley!!

  • Three Divas of the last Century?

    Difficult..yes...for me Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Dame Shirley Bassey, I watched her on black and white tv as a kid and is still the best in HD today

    Well done shirl

  • OMG. I love Diamonds are Forever with Dizzee Rascal; Did you see her get down with the grove? She is soooo awesome, and at 73, is looking fabulous!

  • OML this is my birthday!!!

  • All credit to Dame Shirley for agreeing to this for a charity do.... the cheer she recieves at the climax is a great deal bigger than the one Dizzee Rascal gets on his entrance. Need I say more!?!

  • the rap thing ruins bassey's dignity

  • @kayshkorn

    Yes - out of place - but it's marketing probably

  • @01synergist

    ...but for Shirley Bassey to get always full marks!

  • i have the album its one of the best albums she done in a long time

    psb track is one of the best on the cd

  • he cannot just go up and eclipse her like that, she is a godess

  • The most beautiful thing I have ever heard or seen

  • Lovely performance thanks for the share !!

  • This time is so powerful i almost past out. I don´t have words for how great this is.

  • That was a Fab Performance,Worked Brilliantly,on Both Sides...Loved It ! xx
