Shannon Noll & Nat Bassingthwaigthe - Don't Give Up (Live)

[hins108]

she;s not that bad... or if at all 

[Torquaybro]

i feel sorry for shannon, it must have been so hard not to laugh right in her face as she tries to belt out these notes whilst smiling at him probably thinking..."man im doing awesome "... lol

[Valentineforget]

ho god, this one is really beautiful but Natalie Bassingthwaigthe can't sing ! Wow !

[cdlund1987]

you people complaining about this song are either trolls, or deaf. sure this doesnt hold up when compared to the original, covers rarely do. in it's own right, this is a pretty solid version, and INTERPRETATION. i think mmmfloorpie missed the definition of interpretation at school. covering a song is not about keeping it the same as the original, its about bringing your experiences to it, and making it your own. if you belt out songs and thats how you display emotion, thats perfectly ok

[Valentineforget]

Nat Bassingthwaigthe sings like a big big big shit in this song !

[Evelyn208]

Guys, realise that they did this song for a good cause. No need to critisise it to hell. Yes, covers are never as good as originals. Swallow it and just take it for what it is.

[BEYONDTHEPALE1]

This is a great classic song sung originally by 2 great artists at their peak. Natalie is adequate but strays a little off the note at times. Its not easy to match Kate Bush. At least Nat looks good while she does it. Shannon Noll is outstanding and gives a moving powerful performance of a difficult song.

[mmmfloorpie]

They totally ruined this song... It's meant to be a quiet and slow song. They are BELTING out the lyrics and that's not the point of the song... This isn't a diva song!

[amindbody]

she sounds better here than she does in the video which showed them in the studio. but he's a great singer and a superior one.

[mrryanr33]

nat sounds like a cat in a blender. if you want to hear a good version of this song look up jeff martin and tina arena. a million times better.

[Belilala]

Sometimes I really do believe the old adage "If you don't have anything nice to say DON"T say anything. A few of you voicing your opiniopns here should take note of that one. Because unless you can prove you have a degree in studying music/singing ??whatever !!

Tell me WHAT makes you experts on what is good or bad.

Oh wait, I forgot there was such a thing as TROLLS on the internet..silly me!

[pandaeyes42]

this is shit!

[westefaldi]

That missing this time. Lived in Australia yet. :(

[Lickittysplitt]

Not too bad considering the talent that neither of them has, actually sounds ok but neither are good singers.

[iamjanan]

Better than I would have expected.

[RDKF13]

:O LOOK IT"S THE BETTER DWTS HOST!

[nathan6t9r]

fuck shannon can sing

[11brewboy]

nat sounded much better than i expected on this. great song

[waygeta]

i like this song, i liked her, ,except when she toured with the rouges and turned up to the gig and played 3 songs and left, so i was pretty pissed about, are they profess

[rwc20071]

bad...

[melbourneboi1983]

koonoboy you are right its just how people sing

[melbourneboi1983]

maxibud SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU MONTHER FUCKER

[maxibud]

this guy never opens his mouth properly to sing, and it has always annoyed me. His enunciation is always terrible, and she is so far off key at times here that I'm almost embarrassed for her. This is not good, at all.

[koonoboy]

stop fucking bitching

[meumundao]

uma das melhores leituras desta música que eu já ouvi. Engraçado que na gravação não saiu tão ótimo assim

[imnapple123]

omg!! she's on key for once! :P

[robaveley]

Why is it that all these 'experts' get on YouTube and knock everything they watch.....it really goes against the grain of the Australian spirit of having a go. I wonder if they would be as willing to air their comments in person, in front of a room full of people

[robdoglolnotreally]

i dont understand why people say Nat sounded bad?

she sounds fantastic,

just like the studio version i love it

[azmanntoz]

She does sound bad....Just listen to her word phrasing. Its really messy. A song like this really exposes the gimmicks she normally gets away with.

Shannon was good but didn't offer anything different to what Peter Gabriel has already put down.

Overall I much prefer the original version (mostly for Tony Levins basslines) but this is for a good cause so i can live with it.

[SubwayVandal]

what happened to that album? i mean, we need it now. with the bushfires and all that is happening.

[s4099274]

There's only one thing wrong with this video clip - my cock isn't rammed down Bassingthwaighte's throat

[slashmeister]

legend haha

[BakedNotFriedBruz]

HAHAHAHA

[somesillysap]

Do you think that would help her sing better?

[sweetsoul500]

Shannon sux.

[obattleaxe]

Charming. I'm guessing you like soul music? Guy's soul music? You fans are really very transparent.

[XxlumoblondiexX]

i like shannon noll in this song... usually i like natalie too but i reckon she sucks in this one... sorry :S

[lukeevans1978]

I would turn gay for shannon, Natalie is so beautiful she is my most beautiful of all time

[ladonite]

Nice cover of a good song.

[metalheadmarksepo]

shannon noll is a champion

[THEROM44]

every one reckons i look like shannon noll, same mole in the same place and all, only trouble is, i have a shaved head and i'm in my 40's, but still happens every time i go out, "any one told you, you look like" i normally but in and say "yes yes i know, tom jones" funny bastard i am, i think so any way.

any girls who like shannon and wanna get in touch, send me a message, i sing better than him too, women, not girls. cheers guys.

[3jackblake]

i dont think you look anything like him,,, he is good looking, you are ugly. he is slim,,, your a fat bastard. do you want me to go on???

[THEROM44]

It's you're by the wat cretin, not YOUR.

What's up your arse idiot, i happen to be slim too, no fat on this body, dickhead.

Do u have a mental problem, reply if u like, that's the last reply i give you, you oxygen thief, last one, get it. so don't waste your time, what a fucking cockhead, i have a bit of a joke and u post that shit, fuck off.

[3jackblake]

calm down and take ya pills

[THEROM44]

GO AND ANNOY SOME ONE ELSE DICK HEAD, FUCKIN LOSER, YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHO YOU'RE HANGING SHIT ON ARSE HOLE, you never know what contacts people on here have smart arse. you bore me imbecile

[3jackblake]

silly little person

[60sAreGone]

im a big fan of nat but i do think her voice sounds really strained here, she started off good and sounded just like the album version but then lost it. that seems to be the case with a few performances, its hit or miss and comes down to her voice sounding strained. i guess id rather hear her yelling though than lip syncing like some other artist do when their voice is down... doesnt really sound BAD just different to the studio versions and i respect that shes always singing live!!!

[jono0309]

listen to nat at 3:00, not the best...but great performance though

[lyncmob69]

Typical Pom that Loves Neighbours, where as most of us here are over it since the Eighties. And as for your Nat, the only thing she is not doing here is running for the Liberal Party.

[mybestmate]

XxXFPVXxX shannon is the best I love shannon music

[mybestmate]

lyncmob69 I support Shannon noll I love his music and you are a bullshit so piss off

[lyncmob69]

Your obvisouly related, sorry dont worry im not that Comedian Will Anderson.Good on him for making it. But hey we wont ever get another Cold chisel or AC/DC Through F##IDOL.

[thenollzone]

LOL not related, just a fan. Idol has gone to shit since the first season, I agree with you, and there will never be another Chisel! Just annoyed when people bag an artist because of where they gained prominance from without having any idea of their background or how hard they work :)

[60sAreGone]

you dont fucking even know what natalie has been through to get to this point. she is an amazing woman who has been through so much, worked her fucking ass off (and still does) to achieve her dreams. what r u doing? sitting down and bitching about someone you dont even know. loser.

[sharksainter]

Yep' im sure SHE has worked her ARSE OFF !! All the Exec's lol

[60sAreGone]

right because the execs are the ones who filmed a movie, released a book, hosted a tv show, working on her solo album, touring with rogue traders, recording and performing songs for the rugby world cup.. in between doing god knows how many interviews and photoshoots a day, charity work, and trying to find time for her own private life. oh and im sure they are also the ones that struggled with depression whine trying to achieve her dreams before she got famous on neighbours.. you idiot

[60sAreGone]

while*

[lyncmob69]

They only made it through Idol and Neahgbours.Never had to struggle through the pubs like the Old Days, anyway she is 32 and a Complete Co**Tease and does Shannon write any of his Songs, it all started with that Stock ack and Waterman shit with Kylie back with i should be so Lucky that destroyed Music.

[thenollzone]

Shannon actually started singing in pubs and bars at the age of 18 with his brothers and auditioned for Idol because his family farm was at risk of bankruptcy. He wrote 11 out of the 13 tracks on his second album "Lift" and 9 our of the 12 on his latest "Turn It Up". Do a bit of research before posting junk next time :)

[fuzzywezzy619]

i love u shannon 4 eve

[JerBearThompson]

Amen to that!

[sexyman20082010]

Senior07thats007 I love this 1 of Shannon Noll & Nat Bassingthwaigthe not Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

[Senior07thats007]

While they did a decent job, and the arrangement is fantastic, nothing beats the original. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush were outstanding and sung it with such emotion. Peter Gabriel is an amazing song writer.

[BENNYBANANA666]

you got it man . no one can beat kate bush with peter singing this song. EVER!! this is quit good but not better.

[dcmahottie]

she wasnt even bad! losers!

[emerica33013]

Do they even realize what they are saying/singing? Nice voices I guess, but they're pathetic people.

[XxXFPVXxX]

get over yourself..

you are the only pathetic piece of shit here!!! Shannon's the best!!!!!

[Perthgirlaust]

Lucky bitch to be this close to Shannon..Great duo.

[kadiryak]

she is singing like she is going to pee. ruined the song, i like shannon noll, very gud singer

[JerBearThompson]

I agree with you COMPLETELY.

Shannon was just beautiful but I think she kind of ruined it... she was a bit off key too...

[13tjs]

I love nat....

[meaghanxxxx]

She's singing the national anthem tomorrow at the AFL grand final.

[HumanAddiction]

Shannon kicks Natalie's ass in that song!! =)

[sarahlovesadambrand]

so true i have never liked her

[kenjicult]

holy shit...

natalie sounds SHIT without editing

how the hell did she break into the singing industry

[bluetardis]

Yeh, the computer was down that day! ha ha

[MRMILO57]

Take it easy people getting a bit fiesty with each other, the original version with Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush is a beautiful version, but it's nice to hear and see a refreshing version with such talented Aussie:-)

[shapes2008]

Senior07thats007 Why did you put the 2 singers down like that I am very up set now!!!!! They done a good job of the singing so balt up

[Senior07thats007]

I hate both of them singing this song. Shannon Noll is a good singer but no where near as good peter gabriel. and you should even compare Natalie Bassingthwaigthe to kate bush. The original will always be the more powerful version. Shannon and Natalie put as much emotion into it as if they were going grocery shopping.

[sharksainter]

To 07thats007- Hate is a very strong word! Shannon shits all over PG and Natalie is better than nutty Kate so stick it in your pipe and smoke it!!!!

[shapes2008]

Does anyone know how old the girl is?

[natbasscom]

Natalie is 32.

[jurmassop]

In my opinion one of the strong points in the original song is the contrast between the male and female vocals. The male vocals are rough, the female vocals are soothing and very soft, the girl here is shouting more than she is singing. And if it was their song it wouldn't be a problem, it would actually be a great song... but it isn't theirs, it's a cover and too poor a one for my taste

[jurmassop]

It's not bad, and it is always nice when people perform existing songs, because every now and then a song is actually improved by an artist other than the original writer. Though I would not have put this song on the CD, the original is so much better, this is a polished up very American style version of the song. Not bad, but never even near as powerful and full of emotion as the original by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.

[Shazarabbit]

They are Australian not American XD

[jurmassop]

Hehe yes I know... that is why I said American STYLE :P

[schemie1]

im a huge kate fan.....and this is a pretty good version. they make it their own song which is the point. only critisism is that the song has a certain feeling about it and you shouldnt probably dress liker a bloody showgirl while doing it!

[CrayBernal]

From what I have seen this chick has a very versatile vocal range, quite talented and very pretty.

[maestrojon]

I don't know either of these people, so I'm not biased, and my God the female vocals on this are horrendous!  Why do so many people comment on how great they are? She's in tune only 2/3 of the time, and has horrible styling. Reminded me of Jessica Simpson.

[drokwhiz]

when was this?

[soccerladoz]

this is a brillant version of a brillant song!

natalie has taken uk by storm with the rogue traders, and shannon doing well oversea's aswell... things are looking good for aussie music ;P

[flipsybunny]

I do think this is a good cover,like the arrangement and everything is well done, but i really think that Natalie Bassingthwaigthe sings it terribly not just here but on the recording also. Shannon's fine and dandy though.

[insoc789]

awful! what they have done with that song!

[ipssway]

You realy don´t understand anything about music, to say that this version is awful...

[senjamin2006]

nat is f'ing amazing!!! this rlly shows that she can actually sing for those who doubted it!

[gitface456]

I have not heard any other version apart from peter and kates which I always loved but shannon and nat have

done a wonderful job of this song sounds great.

[56765765756765745735]

I really like this version.

[ilovetheroguetraders]

Natalie ROX!!!

[FrenLap]

It's not the original, but it does it proud, as well as Australia proud. Shannon Noll and Natalie Basswhatever are true and fantastic Aussie artists and and it saddens me to see all these negative comments, not just for this song, but other great Australian tunes.

Pull your head out of your up-tight asses people, you are lucky the Australian charts are not filled with Eminem and 50cent clones.

[FrenLap]

I am extremely disappointed with Australia and their lack of support for their artists. One thing I have always loved about Australia (I moved here from the US) was its music scene which is far more quality than anything I've heard from other countries.

Now I have been a big fan of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush for a very long time, and I was annoyed to hear that this song was being covered yet AGAIN. That was until I heard it. Seriously people, what is wrong with you all? This cover is superb!

[allyally14]

It was for a good cause. To help BeyondBlue. Helping raise money for people with depression

[exmk000]

allinjim123 = Immature prick.

[ihateveryoneok]

It's such a shame that little know-nothing children can easily join this site.

[Peteroz]

shannon noll is kind of like acting he cant sing

[TardisOz]

A most beautiful song, but the original is still far superior

[xelanoops]

anyone have the audio?

[toadieisgod]

awesome.nat is just immense.

[videoperson]

solo album interesting

[ollyfroggy]

i love this song they both have great voice and sing well 2gether when i first new they were doin it i was like what r u 4 really but the song is tops and love the video as well

[camdvs32]

Killer song. Great duet with both Shannon and Nat. Natalies hot as hell and has a voice to match (take note holly, stephanie and other ex-neighbour wanna be's)!!

[deendaughter]

When I first heard this song i was unsure but now i have come to love this song. I think these two vocally are paired so well together and it just proves that natalie does not always sound rough at live gigs. Peace to everyone who is suffering from depression whom this song was writeen for... Remeber dont give up cos you have friends:)
