Bat For Lashes Live at the Mercury Awards

[DanielMark2712]

quite possibly the best song by the best female singer of our generation.

[brewjake]

Munchausen by Proxy is FAAAAAR BETTER LOL

[yeahwhatevaah]

she's so pretty in this one!

[Psico5]

Press 5 ._. I love that part.

[auditoryarmory]

This is a breathtaking performance. Bat for Lashes/Natasha Khan is my favorite female artist of this milennium so far -- my favorite since Tori Amos and Kate Bush

[moviemakergal03]

bat for lashes is amazing and they dont get enough recognition. what a shame. :(

[MrStephan111]

Marry me

[konoha1993]

[chrisslye1]

Vice of an angel:0 at 2:08 unreal:)

[qkdecolorvioleta]

[qkdecolorvioleta]

[konoha1993]

@qkdecolorvioleta she sounds like shes hella nervous, other than that i think her voice is pretty good =)

[singsingism]

i love her...so much. she is fantastic. so great. woah...

[LunaHail]

[tourmalineKey]

I must see this song in concert so I can hear that beautiful wail at 2:08 in person...

[miahammfan99]

very ethereal

[coldplaylover1]

2:08 - 2:15 OMFG!!!

[ShadowArtist]

She deserve awards, why does she getting robbed? It's criminal, Natasha should get vastly more reconginition!

[shimeluchin]

@ShadowArtist it is called music industry... purposley awarding bad music, so it gets more media attention , so more masses are listening, so masses became dumb cuz of dumb music, same goes for movies, or newspaper articles, damn it, is so hard to understand

[ShadowArtist]

@shimeluchin I all understand that dude. My question was more a "what the hell man?" kinda generalized/rhetorical question, not a specific, direct question.

[CarojinWarrior]

@shimeluchin

I KNOWWWW WTF!

The problem is, once everyone finds out about a true artist, they overplay them to the point where it sounds generic. So in a way, it's a necessary evil for artists like Natasha to be unrecognized.

[shimeluchin]

@CarojinWarrior indeed. i am actually fine with that, as i wouldnt want to see, that my favorite artists are overplayed on the radio.,as it takes all joy out of it. it is like knowing that many idiots fucked before you, that girl you gonna hit tonight. it is like nah. man, screw this .... i m satisfied in the knowing, that music i listening to, isnt heard by every retard out there, and it isnt all over the media.

[MosaicTelevison]

<3 Tis' all

[DarkViIIain]

fur for gold lol

[GEEkRoBot08]

This is The Kind of Music that should be nominated for Grammys, Not the Same crap like Lady CACA and BeyonQUE?

[bracikmen]

@GEEkRoBot08 true talking right there

[mimiaTHEkiller]

2:08

..... she's amazing...

[dirtywavvves]

It's ridiculous that Natasha has won neither of the two Mercurys she has been nominated for.

[Bembelrocker]

What a wonderful voice and sense of music!

And of course...she is beautiful!

[TsubasaEmoFool]

MUSICAL SAW <3

[simonwainman]

I love this

[SophiaBushFanatic]

The high notes by Natasha are incredible, i knew she was a good singer but by this video she is amazing!

[Aberjan]

[valrk247]

[LittleKana]

[sopjedepopje]

Wow. I'm in love with this song! ^^

[eyvrajam]

The are an incredible band, the play awesome at live! Her voice is just amazing!

[kingofvintage]

What a voice... how does she sing and play the keyboard like that at the same time and keep that rhythm going... that's so difficult! And her wail is so haunting. An amazing musician and song writer

[rodrigitotube]

This is amazing!

[GetIntoZeChoppa]

I wonder how many marriage proposals from besotted fans Natasha gets in the average week?

[rodrigitotube]

Including mine?

Uh, about 1,521,236

[Daytrippera]

Amazing voice, one of a kind.

[teppum555]

How are there so little views??

Simply amazing!

[orgedelic]

Natasha I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!! <3

[kbayito]

Which is that instrument that the girl in black is playing? the one that has a gohstly sound???

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW!

[Arkanix]

@kbayito It's not an instrument. It's actually a wood cutting Saw. A normal Saw.

[JoyDivisiongirl]

@kbayito it is actually a saw...yes,a real saw.

[kyeheta1]

pure bliss

[suckerupper]

2:08-2:15 gives me the chills<3

[27kcm]

its just a high note, not whistle

they remind me a little of the cranberries, ya?

[hauteboy69]

is @ 2:11 a whistle register or super head voice?

[amiegayles]

Superhead voice I believe

[PestifeR]

THIS is skill duudz !!

Nice voice tho imo.

[lails2000]

her wail was AMAZING!!! how does she do that???

[Bronte0131]

i saw her at glastongury , she was amazing

[10rkenny]

[joshnshan7744]

She gives me chills everytime I watch her live. So hauntingly amazing.

[dannyiswellcool]

awesome performance and it has a woman playing the saw. I once saw a man play Led Zeppelin on a saw.

[plidcil]

Yes i always appreciate a bit of saw action during gigs

[zeenx]

soo good.

[JonnyOneEyes]

man i member watchin this live, i had her album already an loved her but when i saw this i was blown away! she's amazin she should of won last year an she should of won this year, i like "she is sure" from the fur and gold album, just amazin! thanks for the upload!

[Isitlovesaidshe]

2:08 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

[ababbey]

holy shit, i agree!

[karolineyes]

yeah it gave me the creeps

[pentasa]

DUDE I CRIED LIKE A CHILD!

[ICExHALOS]

Like it !

[striderivan]

omg NO WAI!

[jestemsenczystytlen]

@Isitlovesaidshe damn, you're absolutely right

[GrimReefer1983]

WOW !!!

Think im in love..

[freakystyley73]

Excellent performance!!!!! (except that backing singer when she was singing off-key before Natasha saved her)

Rock on Natasha!!!! Rock on!

[Arkanix]

My only problem is that this actually very similar to the production of the CD.

The backup singers mic just needs to be turned down and it would have been fine.

[hauteboy69]

Is 2.08 a superhead note or whistler register?

[Breezypieeater]

what a voice!!! that range!

[rherrick123]

If 'Two Suns' doesn't win this years mercury, it'll be a travesty of justice.

[gouj1]

not heard music fresh and original for years

[carlyohhhz]

such a great voice and song writer, the one note was incredible

[jennseh]

That ghostly instrument is a saw, just a hardware store hand saw played with a violin bow. One of the most creative artists out there, you have to check out the cover of Kings of Leon, Use Somebody.... AMAZING!!

[ubicuoubicuo]

whats that ghostly instrument played with a bow that looks like a piece of steel?

[SyrenUK]

It's actually a saw....

Saw a girl called Brigid Kaellin playing the saw last year.

It's quite brilliant isn't it.

[djdew23]

It's a saw

[microwavez]

Two Suns is the BEST album of the year!!

[eminemdog206]

im in love

[WoodRatGirl]

Unique and Talented.

Beautiful!

[thisismyspacebugoff]

Fur and Gold is a good album, I love her new album as well!

[planetjanine]

she's got a very lovely voice. very talented in every way. <3

[perlovFreeza]

офигеть!

[cocochaud66]

2:08 .... HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PladdinMardin]

Best artist I ever heard.

[joshii76]

2:08 is all i have to say

[SilentPenumbra]

agreed.  that part is AMAZING.

[ob2kanob]

Do I feel stupid ???

My 1ST standing ovation for a YouTube video !!!

Where has she been all my life?

[DiarmaidGNR]

Fur and Gold is a great album!!!

[SarahIdinaPhreakx3]

OMFG. Note at 2:08.

Incredible :|

[NueveCatorce]

2:08 - Impresionante.

[NueveCatorce]

increible voz.

[lolirocker]

That cut to the bone! Definitely one of the best new artists out there now!

[ShaunClarkRobertson]

OMG. That voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShaunClarkRobertson]

No no NOOO! She calls HERSELF 'Bat For Lashes'. That isn't the band name, you fool.

[freddo92]

Oh God I actually think I love her.

[ShaunClarkRobertson]

An analyst writes: No freddo92, you don't love her, because you don't even know her. You lust for her.

[freddo92]

1) You're a killjoy. Your comment was completely unnecessary.

2) You imply I was talking about her aesthetically, which basically makes you a misogynist as you're now just projecting and judging her by her looks.

[striderivan]

now thats what i call a bitchslap!

[DiarmaidGNR]

I know exactly what you mean, I didn't know them before I saw them opening for radiohead. I probably fell in love with her then, there is just something about her.

[Quinnpie]

That chick on backing vocals was truly awful. I felt sorry for her though as she was obviously terrified. The new Bat For Lashes line-up is awesome. Saw her at QMU in GLasgow and was blown away.

[Number90L]

shes cute though

[w0sp0]

Her vocal range is awesome!!

[dustycool66]

Oh my god, that note she hit at 2:08...

I almost couldn't believe my ears!

all hail BTL!

[eviltrix66]

Kudos!

It brought tears to my eyes......

[dustycool66]

oops i mean BFL! lol

[Luke19Wales]

sorry but she was robbed!

i hope she gets nominated and wins this year for two suns :P

[ivanooze27]

Perhaps because I'm a fan, but I think she should have won the award. Klaxton won, deserving, of course.

I saw on BBC that the odds of her winning were 2/1 (she was also BBC's choice favorite).

[BlackRapier]

Absolutely unbelievable. And they say music is dead.

Long live BFL!
