Ellie Goulding - Lights - David Letterman 1-18-12

[MLE9559]

Am I the only one who can't even enjoy the performance with her completely unnecessary facials?!? It's looks like she's dying on every single note, and it looks like it takes huge amounts of effort to achieve them. I think this is completely overrated and calling her performance flawless is stupid.

[TheMatthewMain]

2:12 ... That turn towards Dave I bet made his night! It made mine! Fantasticcccc!

[saifwahid]

She's changed. Taken it to a whole new level.

[CaseyCovenant]

She totally did something different new this performance compared to others...

[StephieMiranda]

@themorethemusicer Haha its called an "undercut", she's had it for a couple of years

[kaitlynchris24]

she's flawless

[clareisphit]

Love the hair!

[RAULLEGACY]

awesome performance!

[catawba909]

She looks like the wife of "Everybody love Raymond"

[ticklemetyler3392]

shut up and listen. who the fuck cares about her hair.

[TheKacperTUBE]

HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THIS?!

[kathimirwin]

she doesnt sound good at 2:02

[themorethemusicer]

anyone else realize that on the right side of her head all the hair in front of her ear is cut off :/ 2:57

[barrybuttery]

@themorethemusicer

thats a style, have you never seen that before?

[kimmithebeat]

@themorethemusicer It's quite the trend in Europe.

[mateen95]

@themorethemusicer Lol it was like that the whole time.

[silverwrxwgn]

Fire the sound guy, she's always sounded like she's got a "lighter" voice.

[TheMatthewMain]

Dreammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmie.. She looked fantastic and also did on SNL

[psyduck200]

She sounds like she ran out of air . But I love her music & style :). She has great songs

[couldntgivafuk]

was kinda digging the mastered version, then i seen / heard this and im off her completely. What a fake, over dramatic wanna be..

[Scharfy7]

is it just me but that girl got SKIRRLEX HAIR!

[Slavik07]

saw her for the first time and fell in love instantly.

[jensrmee]

wish somebody handed her a hair clip... good performance tho

[kuraz08]

Uhmn, this isn't lip-synced.

I can tell, because her voice kinda sounds... tired. I dunno.

I still like it though. I stayed up late just to see her perform :) <3

[FlawLessPwNaGe]

I like her music and all but, Wig at: 2:56 ?

[ryanstewartguitar]

hahaha obvious lip-sync....blew it at 1:30

[TheWJimi23]

@ryanstewartguitar just slightly...

[Apoc4532]

@ryanstewartguitar it's dubbing mate - backing tune + her singing. I wouldnt say its lip sync, sounds too shit to be pre-recorded.

[TangoAlphaNiner]

@ryanstewartguitar it's called reverb. There is also a backing track though, not an uncommon thing.

[IdolXfactor2]

@ryanstewartguitar obvious to who...what are u talkin about, the glitch in the video...that's an illusion!

[katiexalice]

@ryanstewartguitar she always sings live.

[HottienTottien]

This was not one of her best performences, but it was good. One thing I think is a shame is her haircut. Her hair used to look gorgeous. Anyway, she did great ;D And btw., the faceexpressions is all a part of Ellie's performence. It has always been like that, and I think it's cool (:

[silviasunlight90]

Amazing!

[luckyveve123]

she definitely needs a haircut hahaa but Ellie is just being Ellie we love her the way she is xxxx

[lorlorgirl]

Haters gonna hate. She looks and sounds great!

[TG0896]

Don't get me wrong, I love Ellie. I adore her music and her. But I feel like this wasn't her best performance. Such a shame. Also, her fringe is quite umm.....interesting.

[lilyac3]

hey you guys, try to sing this song without putting "weird faces". really, it's impossible

[kath9421]

"She is just legs no talent"? What the hell are you talking about, seriously? Yes she is absolutely stunning, but Ellie has sooooo much talent. She makes me proud to be English. She is amazing live, yes this wasn't her best but its still amazing

[KingOfTomfoolery]

So ignoring the faces she pulls, her hair or what she's wearing, which some people seem to be focusing on this was an incredible performance. Unique voice.

[fabiomr2]

2:09

[SplaineBoy]

I was there! It was awesome!

[PhiyukYu]

you call em wierd faces. To me it just looks like shes really into it. And as a musician I can appreciate that :P

[LacosteRocks]

we shudda sent pixie lott

[MrMagpie36]

@LacosteRocks she is just legs no talent

[LacosteRocks]

@MrMagpie36 well ya dont need talent these days anyway.

[TheOctavioVargas]

love her.....but she needs a hair trim

[nycmode]

@TheOctavioVargas she's rocking it Skrillex style

[ordinaryFres]

@tdbsnr LULZ, y u such a bloody retard? Fool.

[ladydance41]

@tdbsnr go home...

[clareisphit]

Her Voice is amazing, beautiful and sexy. Her body is amazing, beautiful and sexy.

[ordinaryFres]

@tdbsnr You need to die, honestly.

[ordinaryFres]

@32orchadork I agree

[Anabananababey]

I love her...but not her best performance. Hair gets in the way too much!

[redpandaproduction]

Does she need a wee?

[monogirl3]

i like ellie but her voice often sounds quite strained, like it's paining her to hit the notes.

[pirategirl154]

I appreciate her always bringing something different to the plate each time she performs, but personally, this wasn't her best performance of Lights.

[32orchadork]

@tdbsnr because what your hair and nose look like is what really matters shallow people like you are ruining the world

[JosephFLamour]

@tdbsnr you are rather shallow.

[DaisyandGeorgiamusic]

@tdbsnr not everyone needs a nose job sorry she doesn't fit your inaccurate pretentious small minded view of what a popstar should be

[MrOcZide]

I just want to suck on her boobies while she sings. ^-^

[tdbsnr]

@MrOcZide She might find that a bit distracting - but get to the back of the queue please.

[MrOcZide]

@tdbsnr I can just taste those yummy pink nips in my mouth... YUMMMM. I Imagine putting my cock into her WARM..... WET...... VAG!

[tdbsnr]

@MrOcZide Hahahahaha! And maybe afterwards you can confirm whether or not she is a true blonde?

[MagikUKPL]

She`s SORTED ! 

[Biaelectra1]

SHE'S HOT !!!! :)

[djaarx]

beat fail at 1:24

[pinoyburger]

She seems possessed.

[ElliotBrett9]

1:02 - hair moving fail

[geniusemeseken]

she is amazing but in this performance she was very emotional GUYS!!

[SherelleT92]

<3

[netballer24]

Ellie used to go to my schoool :D She was a year or something older than my sister;) My RE teacher was showing us old levels today&I saw hers:P AND I saw her live like waaaaaaaaaayyy before she became famous :P

[bamplify]

@netballer24 emma louise 

[netballer24]

@bamplify ... ? :L This is quite freaky but I think I know who you are! o.O

[bamplify]

@netballer24 im emma louise 

[liamjamestolson]

Love this <3

[ninja1eye]

That was strange...

But at 2:45 she looks like some crazed demon lol

[Djingaaa]

...this live sucks

[somethingvague87]

americans don't understand how lucky they are... WE WANT HER BACK.

[psuzeppelin5]

Ok don't get me wrong I love Ellie G, but I'm not sure if I'm digging this look. Hope she doesn't get too weird with this kind of stuff.

[sammyrose2812]

I used to be obsessed with Ellie.

When she has her her covering her face she looks silly.

[AlejaMusicVargas]

she's amazing!! she's perfectly perfect :) 

[courtneyisonfirre]

she's weird here :(

[xxPatdxRockzxx]

@ThisIsBillyH I don't think you do. She's one of our treasures, had no.1 singles over here and one awards. I think we love here more in the UK...

[MakeupJunkieNikki]

Love love love love love love love love love you!!! Thank you!

[LockeTina]

She´s pretty amazing :)

But her haircut accented her bis nose...

[GrandFirst]

oh, good for me shes now single..but bad for me, shes not lesb.. :/

[muzikjunkie713]

is it just me or does she look unhappy to be there? cool live show though.

[KalElAlexx]

@muzikjunkie713 I think she's nervous and i think she's a critic to herself, she probably didn't like her performance very much.

I think she did great but she did a few bum notes though, not her best performance but there was definitely emotion in this performance.

[GrandFirst]

Love the look, love the moves.. wanna have her babys..oh wait..i'm a girl... :/

[CaseyDorrisFord]

i do adore ellie goulding, but she's lost her spark. america changes people :L

[TheZanyTunes]

this is a good song but really want some new songs from ellie soon

[robertillo94]

Leonard on drums!

[thisismyusername4456]

hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust hip thrust

Oh shes singing?

[cyaanidestars]

@KatieAllan38 AMEN..

[michalbrox97]

I think she was trying too hard. If she let go a little, it probably would've been a better performance

[thetomatoelement]

The weird faces are a little much for me. She is amazing live though.

[musthecomdenom]

She's totally looking at me @ 2:09 with the sexy dance! 

[ThisIsBillyH]

@musthecomdenom You wish! She was totally looking at me! ;)

[tdbsnr]

@musthecomdenom  Er, no, she's just checking her words on the autocue.

[JackariousLights]

Oh Ellie is so adorable <3 Now come and get back to England, because we love you more!

[ThisIsBillyH]

@JackariousLights We Americans adore her more than the Brits!

[JackariousLights]

@ThisIsBillyH I'm sure my 1 in 300 vinyl proves this wrong, sorry but I have too much love for her. TOOOO MUCH

[rameriz92]

I was freaking out last night watching this on letterman. I love this song, I love Ellie and I love her performance.

[Balallybabe]

someone just got her hair freshly cut...

[airfrogyto19]

What's with the emo look and weird dancing? I love Ellie Goulding do much but she's very weird here.

[MCNUTTCOMEDY]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[tidus8888]

love it!

[TantrumJas]

[MerleMusic]

She is AMAZING live. Love this song + her. :)
