Clare Maguire - The Shield And The Sword

[therealzeebs]

God damn I love this song so much!! I think it's safe to say that every gay in the world should be rejoicing that Cher lives on!! I mean, really, all I see is Clare and I think she's a totally unique talent, but I am so happy to have that powerful deep voice we all love.

[XblessingxXx]

She has such great legs.

That is all.

[DaOneFame]

Are u fucking kiding me!?

Clare is herself, she is not copying anybody... Why are u jealous? She should be more popular, she is great singer. Every time when some singer make some video, u immidiatly say she or he is corying LADY GAGA. why would she copy lady gaga? i love LADY GAGA, but i dont think that anybody is copying her. i think that every singer have something special! Leave lady gaga alone. I love u CLARE and LADY GAGA. :) Everybody else who dont know to enjoy in music are shits.

[aCookieLife]

@DaOneFame Thank you, i don't know how many times i had to say it to people in the comments, i love her, but i don't know why they are so OBSESSED with her and why everybody needs to compare new artists with others every time ! It begins : "she looks like" and ends: "she copying on" !

[oreosmartiee]

Clare is nothing like Lady Gaga, or Katy Perry, or Adele for that matter.

I'd say she's a bit more like Lana del Rey. :)

[bobbyRing96]

one of the most under-appreciated artists of the year.

[versionintegrale]

those legs 0.0

[IgOliveiraDR]

What a beautiful voice, kisses from Brazil [:

[stnbeth]

awesome!! Love Every Melody and a stunning Voice!!! Hits Right true the Beat of the Heart !! Thanks Clare and great all your musicians.... ;)

[Kyle2525able]

<3 I Absolute love this song, It's been a hit for me since the summer. Thank You Clare

[Kyle2525able]

This Woman Is Amazing , 2012 should be her year. let's goo!

[Chloecracker]

People be aware you will be come addicted to this song :) P.s Try not to break the reply button when you are constantly re playing this song :D

[lorisldn]

Much more talented than Adele

[alwaysbooom]

Lady Gaga + Katy Perry + Adele...

[GLASGOWBOY1990]

@alwaysbooom Nothing like any of them,literally nothing like any of them,at all.

[JoeBurgos02]

idk why but her face reminds me of amy lee

[peachywink1]

like the artist but the video doesn't connect to the song at all.

[rvpmarko]

van persieeeee

[MrFluorescentDream]

Lady Gaga everywhere, I like Lady Gaga, but stop to compare, if you knew the singers you would realize that her voice is more compared to Annie Lennox, and powerful sound "epic" are more similar to Florence + The Machine

[peachywink1]

@MrFluorescentDream it's not about the sound of her voice but the video itself is quite obviously borrowing from Lady Gaga's video, most notably bad romance and paparazzi. Rather than the singer being a copycat it's the person who created this music video that needs to be more orignal

[lloydmaja]

@MrFluorescentDream - I totally agree with you!

[xValiumKnightsx]

@peachywink1 She's supposed to copy Lady Gaga... And Adele, And Katy Perry. That's the whole point of it, because people compare her to them so she's being them.

[bangwhamcrash]

Love Claire Maguire - I hope there is a tour soon. I can't stop listening to the album (especially this song!) But what was that video treatment all about?!! So disappointed because the song is great - but this video could have been so much better.

[frerard4evers]

why does she look like the following artists?!

Lady Gaga - the blonde hair and red costumes AND the sitting down bit in the beginning (bad romance)

Marina and the Diamonds - black hair, big sunglasses and bright sequin dress.

Adele - big poofy hair and sitting down staring into space.

btw i am ABSOLUTELY NOT a hater of claire. i think she is but a few of those crystalised and clearly amazing artists who dont need to dub or synthesise their voices and shake their butts in barely there clothing.

[h1086]

@frerard4evers Thats the point of the video, She is Adele, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga because they are the biggest Pop artists of the year, the words of the song COULD relate to her struggle to get recognised without turning into your 2011 stereotypical pop artist.

[plavichar]

Swan (Cygnus olor) :)

[Joboalexander0123]

the awkward moment you realise your singing into thin air sitting on a throne next to golden coated men and a goose xx :)

[ArmstrongDickpuncify]

...I didn't know that good music was still being made. I'm OK with this.

[Dornwild]

When can we see all those more than 10 000 000 views??

[lalka1013]

and Florence Welch - druminng song

[Svrt90]

LOVE IT <3



[truebloodislife]

only checked this out bc of her last name (love the maguires on shameless :)____ anyways im glad i did i like this its pretty good

[Lantentine]

It is not a goose... It is a swan next to the golden boys.

[matush15]

Dexcell Remix FTW!

[TheHxcoreauburn]

check out my page, have a remix of this song on it!

[RibbonedRat]

What happened to this girl? Its like she's disappeared, loads of stuff was deleted of her FB page too.

[gagaslilmonsteruk]

@RibbonedRat according to her wikipedia page she's making a new album so watch this space ...

[tomberensoffical]

@RibbonedRat  It's so weird, even her twitter page is empty and her site hasn't been updates in months, miss her!!!!!!!!!:(

[lucyhelen623]

this is so good! should have been in the charts, needs more recognition

x

[MrOdelian]

<3

[flexramos3000]

ive seen this video thousands of times and i swear i've never seen 2:00-2:06 0_o

[hypnomedusa]

that blond wig is not lucky cause its too gagaish

[XxKYFERxX]

If you listen to Clare singing live, she still sounds amazing!! Other singers might sound good on music videos, but don't sound as good live..

[mattik1991]

@XxKYFERxX I saw her live last year when she was on tour with Hurts, loved her since then! :)

[CiaraTheYellowRanger]

IT MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS!!! NOT KATY PERRY!!!

[Croxy87]

Total ripoff

[InvisibleRita]

WTF, Lady gaga, adele and beyonce. Don't try to be famous with someone's ideias.

[LilNii]

@InvisibleRita Actually Gaga ripped off of a fetish model's look and fashion multiple times and still is. Her Edge of glory video is an exact replica from the movie ' Showgirls ' that has dance scene with the same outfit, hair , make up, background. Beyonce reinvents herself time and time again and Adele's been done before by countless people before her. Just look at Aretha Franklin.

[coraline7831]

her voice sounds so much older, than she looks!

[LostintheVoid11]

She's not trying to copy anybody. In an interview, Claire said the music video was about expressing her different personalities and bringing them to light. The video itself presents what could, in other word be, a psychological view of Claire's mind.

[xChelseaxJimxNicola]

Love the Katy Perry/Lady Gaga/ Adele look!

[grapesarefunable]

Like the song; but still. this is the problem with modern relationships. She says "She is ready now to fight this"...and does so by breaking up and finding someone new. If you are able to fall in and out of love so easy, it will never last, and you will never find it. Love must be fought for and love. If you find your passion fading, fight for it, fight the world and fight each other to preserve your love; but don't run off and try to find new love. You will never find it that way.

[aintnobody94]

Clare is Clare. End of.

[cubcgy]

The woman with the amazing voice also has amazing legs

[grapesarefunable]

Me thinks it funny how half of the people who see this video don't even know she is SUPPOSED to look like Adele, Gaga and Perry; she is not copying. It is the whole point of the video.

[AngelicBenWTF]

People say she is mocking Adele, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry here... I disagree... I think she's showing them who she is and saying: 'I'm going to be just as good as you' ... and she is just as good :)

[fjasserik]

@AngelicBenWTF i thinks you is similar to Cher in voice and style of the cloths

[AngelicBenWTF]

@fjasserik I'm not a big fan of Cher but I see what you mean... If it is Cher then its the same as I said earlier

[xSPHBFFx]

OMG.She Wanna Be Lady Gaga!!!

[ladygaga122]

i'm in love with this song

[xXxBellaGrlxXx]

reminds me cher and katy perry.

[serban277]

@xXxBellaGrlxXx Has a bit of Lady Gaga too. The good parts.

[FaithTheFallen]

I love how she tackles the fact she is bound to be compared to other female singers and goes trhough them all, but her voice still shows through as her own. Very clever I think :)

[Nymphelyn]

I like her a lot, but preferred her more natural - When i first saw her I said ''Wow, finally someone who doesn't cake insane makeup on, throw on a wig and have to make a spectacle out of themselves for attention and sales.'' And now this. Its sad that these post-gaga artists feel the need to do this. Minaj, Parry, Rihanna, Beyonce and hell even Christina Aguilera have all switched to a more 'outrageous' style. Luckily the voices shine through enough.

[su1232]

This is truly a beautiful song. I love her voice and her sense of art

[LightDarkCoven]

this video look like she try to look like Katy Perry and Landy GaGa all so try do same dance movie like Landy GaGa to

[desireedinky101]

white wig: looks like Lady Gaga

black hair not in an up do: looks like Katy Perry

[Andthisisthefame]

start sharing this song

[ilovecostin]

Did anybody notice the goose in the video, next to golden boys?

[bitterending14]

@ilovecostin there were golden boys?

[Checkp0intcharlie]

@ilovecostin It's a swan actually.

[Mamonar]

@ilovecostin

I thought you were talkin about the singer, lol

[Wathertear]

@ilovecostin

it's not a goose, it's a swan...

[rockybrianz]

@ilovecostin actually it's a Swan. But yes i totally did :P



[RHYTHM789]

@ilovecostin it's actually a swan.

[GaijinPrincess]

@ilovecostin Actually it's a Swan lol Zing!

[ohmygod12361]

Absolutely Stunning voice !!!

[filipinopride2434]

thumbs up if she sounds like Cher :)

[ratrat990]

I really love your leg!

[DarkAlienSpirit]

I just had multiple eargasms right about now. O_O I officially love Clare<3

[arinaqooz]

Very talented singer and very good songs

[TheBananaPieConcept]

Wowwwww, never ever heard of Clare Maguire before but she's made a fan out of me. Great song, amazing voice (Y)

[DBennett9714]

@TheBananaPieConcept I had the same experience, don't even know how I ended up on this song was very random and very awesome

[hicwron]

she is more talented than all of them put together;

[idontwant2bpoor]

American radio must be scared that people will stop listening to Rihanna and Gaga...that has to be the reason she isn't the biggest female pop artist here.

[cczx2bx6]

I feel like I just watched a collaboration between Adele, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry... c:

[GoneRoverBoard]

@cczx2bx6 The sound is more of a mix between Adele and Florence and the Machine really! But can see what you mean, the look is a mash up between Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Florence and the Machine.

[summerskyflower]

@GoneRoverBoard Exactly! I wanted to write this in a comment, but you did. I thought the same, her look is a combination between Adele/Marina and the Diamonds/Gaga and her voice like Florence Welch.

[Sennyification]

@cczx2bx6 im pretty sure thats the point

[hammie2012]

@cczx2bx6 you mean a collaboration between; Adele, Lady Gaga and Florence & the machines (ain't seeing katy perry in this :S)

[MrAidanmcc]

@hammie2012 For Katy Perry i think he meant when she had the long black hair gold sunglasses and that blue gold mini dress.

[xxsweethartxx]

@cczx2bx6 OMG, yeah Adele; when she's sat down, Lady Gaga; when she's dressed in black and wearing a blonde wig, and Katy Perry; when she's wearing the sunglasses!!

Such a cool interpretation...good on you!!

[annch0r]

@cczx2bx6 ahaha and maybe a bit of jessie j too .

[mattik1991]

I saw her live, when she was on a tour with the Hurts. She is an amazing singer and she definitely deserves more attention than Gaga, Pixie and Jessie combined! Since i heard her then, i knew i would love her music forever, and i still do.

[gabrielsouzainacio]

Amazing!  *-*

[GreenRocksMovies]

Are those actual people? Oh wait one blinked.

[TheThirdWitch]

She is just beautiful & this song is very good for speed walking through big cities..

The lights, people, buses..everything & ofc strength !!

[hicwron]

50,000 lady gagas; only 1 clare maguire!

[LostBoyRebel]

my sister

[sexyagente]

She is a little bit Florence + Kate Bush

[ninanina2788]

the same place with video of Foster The people- Call It What You Want? :D

[ninanina2788]

the same place with Foster The people- Call It What You Want? :D

[EquestrianCrazy94]

She's Adele, Katy Perry and Lady GaGa, all in one video!

[NasSstyBoy]

She reminds me of Adel with this hair-do

Great Talent!

[caydeeisamachine]

SCROLL UP!!! your missing the video!!!

[malicvetic345]

Beautiful voice!! This is real music,like Adele and Beyonce.I love Clare Maguire!!

[LittleDoveLeia]

Beautiful, original, haunting voice....I love her! And seriously, stop comparing her to Lady Gaga. I like Gaga, but she is not the only artist who is flamboyant and dresses up a lot. Plenty of artists have in the past and will continue to do so! Personally, I think her music style is more like Annie Lennox, with a dash of Tori Amos.

[thetiniestofplaces]

Shut up about Lady Gaga. It annoys me so much when people compare original artists to unoriginal ones. Lady Gaga is a rip off David Bowie and Madonna. Clare Maguire is a much better singer than Lady Gaga with a more unique, distinct voice. And also just 'cause she's dressing up a bit how does that make her like Lady Gaga? I can't watch an original artist anymore without them being compared to Lady Gaga by a trashy fan.

[joxylija]

I love you Clare <3 You are unique person <3

[Muninn1234]

I smell a parody....

[cloud0593]

I love the in synch movement with her and the dancers at 1:39- 1:43 :)

[cloud0593]

@foxydude81, no she is better than Gaga.

[foxydude81]

Gaga wannabe? >_<

[hennesitabella]

She is so unique...enough said..she is GREAT!

[lotusflower281]

Green eyes like hers always look so mesmerizing.

[thetiniestofplaces]

Her legs are endless.

[sonicshrubberyshovel]

I want to touch the fuzzy coat.

[Kahiara]

Just one statue at 25 seconds... can't not blink... *sigh*

[iCtrlz]

First time I heard this song,her voice reminded me of powerful Taylor Dane. I don't think the video is ment to compare or fit the same mold as the other singer-artists. It's just ment to start the bickering conversation amongst urselves and gain following. Nothings different under this Sun...

[Hakafu321]

this is the song that made me know adele xDDD.

[ernesthemingfish]

If you enjoyed this check out Stheno & Euryale.

[mesicnielf]

Is there something bad about this video? i mean really. it's flawless!! even those women in red are fabulous, they look like they're doing such things in real life! I wish this video was out before gaga etc. cos then no one would compare..

[charmer191]

Should have been a No1 hit for five consecutive weeks!

[huchiaje]

It's so Bad Romance and still I love ti

[RosieFitz97]

Beautiful.

[Cjmercieca]

if i had a mouse id buy a cat I LVOE THIS SONG

[krMusic2]

the guy look like 2Pac at 2:24

[krMusic2]

MADONNA, CHER Look What had they done ;D

[krMusic2]

thumbs up if u think SHE SHOULD BE FAMOUS MORE THAN JESSIE & PIXIE

[joel2468able]

@krMusic2 hello i agree clare maguire is brill at singing she sould be more famous than them all :)

[AmsterDannzz]

@krMusic2 I think she should be more famous than Lady Gaga.

She spits all over it.

[xcanady]

Beautiful song. Showing loves to other pop icons....thats amazing and you get my approval! buying song on itunes now!

[GetUrVaginasOut]

291 people took a shield instead of a sword now nobody loves them

[fenixdraw]

el video no me impresiona porque ya e visto esto el trono de bad romance y escenarios de paparazzi lady gaga

[Puresabe]

Okay, I'm a lesbian and even I am drawn to the freaking bulge in the gold guys pants! One sock the director said, buddy, not the pair!

[Janice1871]

This Song is Like Lady Gaga-Paparazzi... o_o

[spsevilla2]

@Janice1871 get a pair of ears!

[Paterman2]

She is original! :)

[unchico555]

She's making history.

I Definitely love her.

[Sacerbu1389]

I really dont care who she supposed to look like.. I just listen to the fucking music.

[conejitoasesinoOG]

2:12 is gorgeous! those dancer are great. I really like this song and the video is great!

[Lajjan29]

I don't like that the song is named ''The Shield And The Sword'' :''(

I almost did not find it! DDDD:

i thought it was named ''Danger in the dark'' HAHA! XD

Well, The song's great! :)

[BananaBooLacey]

she sucks... I don't know what your all on about.

[blacksheepzombie]

@BananaBooLacey She has talent. Unlike you troll (:

[Sacerbu1389]

@BananaBooLacey Idiot.

[gyuh789654]

i havnt herd this song in like a year and i still know all the words to it that just shows how amazing her voice is

[gyuh789654]

the first time i herd this song i thought she had a wired voice but now its growing on me

[KlasykaPolskiegoHH]

she is so great singer!!!!!

[Demzie98]

go clare

[SuperMuffinfan]

that part of chorus with four red-dressed girls is a bit like lady gaga's paparazzi^^ btw song is amazing:)))

[4nchy]

why would she want to look like them?? dont see the point...

[Eyesiq]

@4nchy I think it's in response to how people have been trying to put her in a box saying she's like these artists. the video shows her pandering to all three interpretations of her and while she succeeds in fitting each 'image' it's obviously because of her talented voice which overshadows each trivial 'performance'.

[mcatbs9]

I hate it when the top comments are exactly the same :O

[willy10629]

They all copied Verka Serduchka. Great video, by the way.

[goncaloferreiramusic]

I DID A COVER OF THIS...it's not that good :P I LOVE CLARE!

[billytvernon]

i swear! the next person who compares her to lady gaga... lady gaga just sticks random crap on cos she's an attension seeking media freak, that's all her career is based on. this girl is being artistic for arts sake, nothing else.

and another thing how can you put adele in the same league as Katy perry and Lady gaga, that fucking rediculus !

[CBAbiatch]

@billytvernon its spelt "ridiculous" mate, nice rant though

Why does clare do this ?
