You guys or dumb. Not singing it 100% the way she does on the album is not screwing up, it's how live performances work, singers don't hold every note the way they do on the album, some lines are half shouted/half sung to express emotion, and they hold the note in one octave when on the album they do something more extreme. Every song she sings requires a crazy amount of control and talent; she doesn't have a single song that isn't all over the place vocally.
@Eifler121 its as though they think she just showed up that night and said "we'll just wing it" not understanding that just about every live musical performance EVER has had at least one rehearsal. People are stupid
As a special tribute to Florence and her spectacular song Shake it Out, the lovely Loreleis of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have graciously outdone themselves in their rendition of Shake it Out!!!!!! Search on itunes: shake it out loreleis
Have a listen and if you like what you hear, buy it!!!!!
@NathalieForBlueSkies Feel free to give the reasons to why you don't think she's a good performer.
Because she has it all. Presence, emotion & the voice. It all depends on what you think is a good performer. Maybe it's not a good performance for you if there aren't dancers or if the singer is almost naked?
@KalElAlexx Lol have you seen my favourite videos on youtube? I'm truly not the kind of person looking at music videos with dancer and singers almost naked. And just so you know, I bought two of her CDs (Ceremonials and Lungs) which are amazing. But in MY opinion, she just doesn't sound that great live. I just wanted to know if I'm the only one who thinks that. If I am, oh well, that's okay with me.
Yes, I agree with you, I like her a lot, but I think she needs to train her singing some more here. She's got an amazing voice (and I just LOVE her look and the emotion), but I don't think she balances the notes very well here.
@Naed607 Agree she's a little off here but watch the versions on Later with Jools Holland or Jonathon Ross Show and see how good she can be! No-one can sing perfect every time!
Florence, or who ever posts the videos to this youtube channel, pleas make the videos available in Puerto Rico. I almost cried when I saw that so many weren't available in my country. It makes me feel that what I can see from the best artist ever is restricted.
Thumbs if anyone else feels the same way and wants the uploader see this. :)

Florence is such an incredible singer, i just can't get over her voice. The way she sings and holds that magnificent note in this song, its amazing. This is my favourite.
a thing that I hate with SNL performances is that they make most artists sound like crap. You don't get the whole package, even if an artist can sing, it's soo much more, the music around it aswell that make it THAT amazing and in the SNL performances you always have an awfully flat background which fuckes it up for everyone.
F+M came into my life at a time when I was going through so much crap and she lost me in her lyrics and voice. She's amazing and I think she's this generations best singer and artist. She has changed my view on life. She's freaking perfection!
My God she is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing when she performs live. This is one of my favorite songs from her new ablum, just stunning. 13 dislikes you all must be soding deaf and bloody stupid.
@beachgirlhunter That's not fair. They are two completely different artists and yes she did really bad in SNL, but some of her other live performances are pretty good. I dont agree with comparing one artist to another to show how great they did or how badly....Florence is amazingly talented, She's phenomenal. We shouldn't need to see her in contrast to somebody else to realize her worth.
@AoifeB82 I would DEFINITELY put you on blast, but I'll be nice and not do that. But what im saying is, this performance wasn't as good as her other performances. And guess what? I will never reach her level of amazingness. Btw, music nowadays required absolutely no skills, well some, but very little compared to old music. however, flo is on another level. If I want to become popular, I just need connection, which I clearly do not have. Music business nowadays is all about connections not talen
@getbuttkik LOL well you DEFINITELY have the ego for it anyway but maybe not the drive! You need to chill and not take life so seriously mate!! if you have talent embrace it and enjoy it cos it's a blessing! I don't see any connection in your comments about the music industry to what I said or to Florence as she doesn't fall in that category at all, but whatever floats you boat! : )
@AoifeB82 No, its confident. Also, why the hell wouldnt you take life seriously? I don't wanna end up sleeping on the goddamn streets. Although ending up on the street doesnt necessarily mean that you're lazy.
I wish the guy playing the harp would quit making love to the camera.....it's all about that incredible voice that florence is packing....not him saying hello to his man at home.....
