Florence & The Machine Dog Days Are Over Acoustic at Radio 1's Big Weekender Introducing Stage

[alexamferrell]

this is the most amazing noises my ears have ever heard i cried of how beautiful their music is

[s2carollina]

Perfeita!

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

One of my absolute favorite performances of this song. Her vocals and the things she can do with them are truly amazing.

[evade531]

3.48 old guy moves lol, favourite version of dog days but worst crowd ever they seem scared to get into the song

[misterwipedown]

Second coming of Natalie Merchant and she is most welcome.

[Tayana966]

her face at the beginning+ priceless

[flo1065]

My name is Florence in spanish, Florencia :)

[mplsgurl95]

She looks absolutely gorgeous in this video.

[eleanor2889]

@cheris15

When did she come to Auckland? can't believe I missed it

[cherls15]

@eleanor2889 Yeah she did....somewhere around the second half of last year.She was incredible....made me cry! : )

[kissingviera]

Or theyre being quiet because they were asked to since it was being recorded live..

[taHitiAnDancER142]

i love that girl!!! she is SO amazing

ADD ME!

[gypsiecat1]

@taHitiAnDancER142 hahahaha XP

[dizzydaisygal]

I love watching her perform. It's different every time. She's a mood ring!

[tangelo46]

i no florence is so pretty

[georgiaa1D]

this is amazing:)

[sekayujora]

Its a lot better when you can hear the song and not all the people screaming like crazy

[stonebirdsmusic]

@sekayujora apparently this crowd agreed with you ;)

[bond007db9]

I saw her at Glasto and she was awful live. People were booing and throwing bottles filled with piss at her. This performance is awful too. She cannot sing live to save her life.

[ihatedotty2010]

@bond007db9 what a dick shes well better than all these shit girl bands they all make me sick and shit in my boxers!!!! florence is ghetto i want to make ginger kids with her!!!! LMAO

[prettygirlx4]

@ihatedotty2010 i want to make ginger kid with her too, the only problem is that i'm a girl and i'm 13 years old xD

[ihatedotty2010]

@prettygirlx4 omg lmfao

[xStarlyn101x]

@bond007db9 i think in this performance she was overdoing it and jumping all over the place in her voice which made it sound a little weird but she has a really good voice in general

[orlieonbroadway]

@bond007db9 are you serious!!!!!!?? :O

[TheKeyWestian]

aaaaaaahhhhhhhh............awk­ward crowd:(

I WISH I WAS THERE DAMMIT! ID BE FREAKING SCREAMING TILL I WAS HOARSE!

[96Jazangel]

I would have been screaming from the top of my lungs in that crowd and been proud of being the only person supporting her there but I wasn't there:)

[badlysaid]

they dont know talent they crowd needs to step up up i love her vioce

[minimon3000]

this crowd is rubbish i went to glasto earlier this ear and the crowd went MAD she barley had to sing this makes me never want to go to the big weekend

[crt826]

here is the thing with florence;

you love her or ya dont. She is kinda like annie lenox just a little short of her range

[TheLMNOPaul]

i love the girl on the toy piano

[Mssassysabrina]

Her vocals are crazy!!!!!1

[bond007db9]

@Mssassysabrina Her vocals are shit.

[king2102b]

Audiences are like wild animals you never know how they will react, but there's one thing you can be sure of when you see Flo live, every performance is unique, which tthese days is like gold dust!

Having worked with the machine in the past, rehearsals are a very different experience. An "organic" thing apparently, or in other words to us musicians aint a clue till we get to playing it lol

[ShaunacAvril]

Flippin sweet. But I don't like how they slowed the tempo waaay down by the end of it. The fast beat adds to the excitement! The energy! :D

[Gill13013]

The crowd is not going crazy, because while this is a really amazing band, and song, this particular performance of it was a little lackluster when compared to other performances/versions of the song. I think the crowds energy matches hers. She seems like she's not into it, and proves she's not present in the moment by forgetting the words. I think they're amazing, just making an observation.

[evade531]

@Gill13013 i totally disagree, its acoustic,crowds generally are quieter there, and she is human so she can mistime a part of the song not forget it

[keralynnleslie]

I agree with both of u guys

.....

is this crowd deaf?

seriously y come if your not going to be crazy and wild!

[rudyv6]

stupid sounding song

[kylestaff]

rubba double chin :) just sayn...

[mssjeni1]

her voice....singing this acoustically.....just gives me chills.

[cosmkdbree]

I love the piano.

[Gbrark]

there are only two reasons to make a crowd be silent: they suck or they are amazed, and in this case i pretty much believe it is the second option the most probable

[bond007db9]

@Gbrark The crowd are silent because they cannot believe how awful she sounded here. People were walking out of this gig in disgust.

[SkullsAndCandy]

@bond007db9 dude so how would you sound if you had to sing like 50 times a day almost every day on tour stfu

[bond007db9]

@SkullsAndCandy 50 times a day ? dont make me laugh you fuckwit. She cannot hold a tune to save her life. She is fucking awful live.

[evade531]

@bond007db9 so u spend all ur time commenting on a song u dont like , u are 100 per cent SAD

[ZaliciababeZ]

she has a really nice voice but the crowd is shitt!!

i dont get the point why is she ugly and her voice is amazing? :L

[Priosenne]

@ZaliciababeZ She's not ugly, okay?!

[slightlysuicidal]

@ZaliciababeZ Have the balls to show your face before calling someone ugly.

[NRPBrute]

@ZaliciababeZ I have a feeling you look like a ditch pig and can't sing at all to boot.

[bond007db9]

The crowd were so quiet because they were stunned at how awful she was.People were walking out of this gig.

[bozo47p]

where the hell is this gig...sombodys birthday party or something? hell even florence is bored.

[thing944]

Hehe, Isa's piano is so small :D

[CassieG13]

boring crowd FOR SURE!

[loutsandlegends]

I have to agree with everyone here, I'd have gone wild. Man this crowd are a bunch of geriatrics. Has this girl got the most amazing voice or what? I wish I had half the talent Florence and the Machine have.

[LiftedShadows]

As much as I like this song, and I rather like her, you definitely have to admit her vocal style may not be for everyone.

[vika922]

she is amazing. I love her voice <3

[uzi978]

Never seen a skinny girl with a double chin before....

this girl is SO overrated. relax, people.

if she's pretty, if she's ugly, if she's mediocre, all that is IRRELEVANT to the music, kids.

this would be better if regina spektor were singing it. or amanda palmer at least.

[utube146]

A lot of people are commenting that she is a terrible vocalist. Well, she isn't pitch perfect & and her diction is really bad, but actually she's quite a good vocalist because she can has lots of stamina to keep doing those trills & runs, albeit with some pitching problems.

But remember, Florence + The Machine is an indie band, which relies more on rawness & uniqueness of the music rather than on-tune vocals. So yeah, hate them if you want, but indie bands thrive on a small fanbase :/

[eugimon]

@utube146 not to mention unlike most big name performers she doesn't have a small choir behind her to hide behind.

[deephouseSOLDIER]

One word! FANTASTIC

[judes1485]

I do like this song and her voice is interesting, I just think that she needs some vocal training. I can't understand what she is singing 90% of the time.

[bond007db9]

The reason why the crowd are so quiet is because they are so stunned at how awful she sounds. I would have seriously walked out on this performance. She sings like a deaf person and is one of the of the worst vocalists to grace our charts in a long time !

[Phazonin]

@bond007db9 how are some good female artist in your opinion? I won't curse at you this time, let's be civil :-)

[Phazonin]

@bond007db9 *who

[bond007db9]

@Phazonin Tough one. Im not saying florence is a shit artist but she has shit vocals.Madonna if she floats your boat,Joss stone,Alanis.Gwen Stefani,Mindy Smith, Janis Joplin Aretha Franklin....the spectrum is broad. Fiona Apple on your channel,great vocals. The reason Florence is popular is because the prep school image artist is popular right now and Radio One have given her extensive air time. As i say she has great artistic values its just a shame she cannot sing.

[yden25]

@bond007db9

I found that really hard to read. You say Florence Welch is a shit singer, yet you say MADONNA is good? Seriously? Get off the internet and never come back. kthxbye

[yden25]

@yden25 LOL joke post hahaha go home dickhead

[bond007db9]

Why dont you go fuck yourself you feral Australian. You have no music taste whatsoever you fukwit !!!!!

[yden25]

@bond007db9

lol that makes no sense, how can someone have no music taste, why would i be on this video if i had no music taste? and how do you even know im from australia you creep? oh and btw, never come to australia, dont come and wreck this place too.

[ThomasReedMusic]

was this before this song was well known, because this crowd is sooo dead! Florence deserves better than them! and now she has. :D

[mmtna]

she messed up but I dont care thats what happens when youre freaking rocken out

[bond007db9]

This is an awful performance. She sings like a deaf person. The most overrated artist today !!!!

[Phazonin]

@bond007db9 you're obviously fucking retarded.

[bond007db9]

@Phazonin You are the retarded fuck if you think she has talent. She is the worst female vocalist we have had in a long time.

[chunkdizzle420]

@bond007db9 yea whats it like to be a complete and utter idiot ?

[bond007db9]

@chunkdizzle420 Well you being an utter fuckwit please enlighten me ?

[wannagetupandjam]

@bond007db9 Nice, well-thought-out comment there :)

[bond007db9]

@wannagetupandjam Nice, well-thought-out comment there.

[tiobraidarann2010]

what d f**k is wrong wit d crowd. dey ars fare dry. cheer up. jasus if i was der i would b gone fare fare mental..

[sharkey288]

The old man dancing.. in my mind I heard "lets get jiggy with it!"

[chappodave123456789]

obviously 5 deaf dumb and blind people have watched ths, florence & the machine are brilliant

[GeorgiaPeach87]

HER VOICE IS GLORIOUS!

[cherls15]

hahahaha....oh my god...did they get this crowd from the local retirement village? THEEEEEY SUUUUUCK. I went to her conert in Auckland, New Zealand and the crowd went WILD, everyone was jumping and clapping and singing. Florence hardly had to sing!

oh my god this is a shiiiiiiiiiit crowd.

FLORENCE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

[sharkey288]

@cherls15 NEW ZEAAALAND :)

[RestartStation]

@cherls15 It's an acoustic show, you're supposed to stay quiet.

[aylabell1]

@cherls15 She had a Concert in auckland ?!?!

[GeorgiaPeach87]

who are these people?! I would been so happy :)))

[sebastianpereschica]

Lol, I love those little pianos!

[sharkey288]

Imagine a harp at a rock concert!? Hahah Florence you're just wicked!

[thelastlivinsoul]

i thought the baby piano sounded so familiar, but i didn't know what it was! Like!

[MsStacey12]

I think it's really cool how she sounds good live too!!!... Most people sound really sh*t when they sing live.

She sounds so frickn awesome Live and Recorded.

[kaitiebugg420]

i love the mini piano and her voice is sooo amazing

[bamboostalker]

Dead crowd!  This song is love!

[DonDarkestify]

That crows sucks! I wouldve been jumping, clapping, and jerking off if I were there

[TheBlueVanilla]

@DonDarkestify Bahaha !

[PeaceLoveJoyyy]

@DonDarkestify hahah :D me too!!!

[cherls15]

@DonDarkestify hahahaha

[geedowt2525]

@DonDarkestify all at the same time.

[PeterNincompoop]

@DonDarkestify LMAO! That would have made 2 of us! Circle jerk, in a strictly heterosexual way of course.

[Twombs87]

@DonDarkestify sooooo true!

[toomuchtohadel]

@DonDarkestify true

[alkafx]

@DonDarkestify LOL

[Sourpiemun]

@DonDarkestify Good Lord did I write this LOL

[ArtsyAlligator]

the audience was horrible. i wouldve been so happy to be there.

[kendrickashtoncroft]

@JacobsTeamBaby I was not comparing America, so shut it it

[Sing123lalala]

I think she was drunk there

[9987ifY]

Audio sex.

[DonDarkestify]

@9987ifY Haha! Exactly!

[45hohee]

@bond007db9

Mcdouchey Pants.

[Tlongacre269]

Amazing!!! Fantastic!!!!! What a beautiful voice!!! I love her so much!! Can u believe though I only found out about her today?! Shows you how wonderful she is :)

[SuperAmazingAlly]

oh my gosh she sings absolutely amazing!!! I cant even describe how incredible it is

[CoNf0oSeD]

I thought she sounded drunk, but I got chills all over ^^

[thearmo234]

shes practically mumbling

[RoyaltyindaBurgh]

ohhh she kill'd tha end'n!!!! thiz girl kan SINNNGGGG!!!!

[soraiapandorca1]

What a terrible audience... when she came to Portugal she was very surprised with our reception. I guess british people are just cold as an audience.

[kendrickashtoncroft]

@soraiapandorca1 really??? well portuguese are all despicably ugly and they become France's and Britain's maids.

[soraiapandorca1]

@kendrickashtoncroft so stupid. you don't know a thing about history and you are generalizing a country. so, I won't give you credit. idiot.

[kendrickashtoncroft]

@soraiapandorca1 so enlighten me... please try... How dare you bring up history????? Britain has excelled in EVERY industry, science and art whereas Portugal had a brief moment of glory but quickly retrieved its mediocre ways.

how dare you say that British are cold as an audience, we are just not attracted to ill-mannered behaviour

[soraiapandorca1]

@kendrickashtoncroft I didn't bring up history, you did. This is not about what country was the best in industry or science, you're just saying that because you're cocky about being british and you were very offended when I said you were cold as an audience. and you were, just watch the video, she was singing and everyone was watching like they were doing her a favour.

[nickreality]

@SerenaForTijsVerwest thats the SAME EXACT little piano that my baby cousin has, AND IT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME xD

[Louzzen]

The bloke with the maracas looks like Simon Pegg.

[amasterson106]

charisma of a banana, didnt sound right. :/ normally i love her

[RyanRJBonner]

dannyboy6907... that's the funniest thing i've ever read!! amazing. hahahahaha

[mushroomism]

the dude who is playing the guitar is delicious xD

[PsychNumber1Fan]

@bond007db9 You've never heard of Kei$ha? Check the top 10 songs on iTunes. (Not that her songs are good. They're weird.)

[bond007db9]

@zeppelinesque I have not heard of kesha but im sure she would be better than Florence. I thought Jedward were shit but this woman is worse !

[NeonWar1]

I love her voice.

[sekr69]

@NeonWar1 Yes its amazing,people say its bad only because they're uneducated in vocal training!

[bond007db9]

Artistic talent ? yes. A good band ? yes. She has a great personality ? yes. She has style and charisma ? yes. Can she sing ? NO. She is absolutley awful, even her band look embarrassed to be up there. She sings like a deaf person !

[BrandonsVictim]

@bond007db9 seriously go to a music class,better yet look up what a fucking singer is,you may not like her voice but that doesnt mean shes an awful singer,and BAD? ha,i cant believe you put florence and bad in the same sentence........you sir,have no brains,and are narrowminded when it comes to voices and singers!

[bond007db9]

@BrandonsVictim I do know what a fucking singer is thank you ! Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzjerald, Joss Stone, Madonna if she floats your boat ! They can fucking sing. Florence cannot fact ! You need to go to a fucking music class yourself if you think she can actually sing the above song. You have no brains and no ear for music. I suggest you actually look up some female artists who can sing live ! You Muppet !!!

[TheKillersGal]

@bond007db9 your an idiot,plane and simple really! nothing clearly registers with your tiny skull and people couldnt give a toss about your argument cause lets see...florence is famous,she doesnt need your silly critisism but its always welcome,either way YOU FAIL miserable and backing up your statement!!!!!!!

[bond007db9]

@TheKillersGal YOU COMPLETE MUPPET

[sekr69]

@bond007db9 here,fool if you know whats good for you then quit trolling videos of artists you dislike,makes you looks really SAD to be honest,havn't you got something better to do with your life?...hummm clearly not! what a bloody TROLL!!

[bond007db9]

@sekr69 look numbnuts Florence has certainly caught my eye ! Artistic talent yes ! Good band yes ! Personality yes ! Its a shame she cannot sing live and thats my opinion which im entitled too ! As for trolling ? You mong !

[KeepinItRealMofo]

@bond007db9 bbc gave her the sound of 2009,are you trying to say their idiots also? no your just a sad little hater who wants to troll a florence video because you've obviously got nothing better to do,then watch people who are everything your not. you've probably not even heard her album you sad pathetic lowlife,GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bond007db9]

@KeepinItRealMofo I have purchased her album you mong. The BBC have spent a lot of time on promotion with Florence its there marketing that has put her where she is today. Next year there will be someone elses in her shoes. Florence is at the top of her game right now but if you think she can sing live you have no ear for music FACT ! She sings like a deaf person in the above song. Now excuse me while i go and listen to my JEDWARD cd !

[clammyfanny]

@bond007db9 it's not all about having a great voice live - it's about enteraining the fans too, which she does. so you obviously know nothing.

[bond007db9]

@clammyfanny Tell that to Jedward !!

[Cubicks]

@bond007db9 She has quite a powerful voice actually. She is trying to adjust for this acoustic version. She does seem a bit choppy but, give her some time. I think her voice is beautiful and in time will mature into what you seem to think is lacking at this moment, in this version.

[bond007db9]

@Cubicks Its a pleasure to see someone come out with a well founded retort. I do agree with you in some aspects and i do find some justification in what you say. Unfortunately for me though this performance is awful.

[TheKillersGal]

@bond007db9 Your a fool,with no friends and no life...hahahahaha LOSER go buy a life on ebay you sad excuse for a human...fucking troll

[bond007db9]

@TheKillersGal Splendid retort !

[Pyfacefornever]

Is she pissed???

[woodros]

this is seriously terrible, i dont know how people have been fucking brainwashed into thinking this is good singing you are fucking deaf

[bond007db9]

@woodros I totally agree with you !

[woodros]

@bond007db9 nice one, glad someone else is a not total fucking zombie, i fucking hate these pieces of shit that pass for talented people these days, everyone is fucked

[flfan1977]

two both of you..massive idiots you are! don't expect to hear some bs like xtina or britney hear..she is an artist visual and vocal.,,much like Siouxsie Sioux was in the 80's..again..IDIOTS!

[woodros]

@flfan1977 im an idiot and you used the word 'two' as in the number 2, i mean how can you do that and call someone and idiot you absolute cock. i dont expect to hear someone like aguilera. you just expect someone who is considered so amazing to be able to fucking actually sing her own songs

[bond007db9]

@flfan1977 I think you need to address yourself as the idiot. She is an artist visually but vocally she is awful. If you think she is singing this song well you need your hearing tested.Look at the horror of her band members faces as she sings. I think that speaks for itself !

[BrandonsVictim]

@flfan1977 i know,these two idiots havn't a clue,she's brilliant definitely one of the best acts around since the likes of kate bush,REAL female singers,not slutty anorexic whores who "WASH THEIR TEETH WITH A BOTTLE OF JACK"..

[Musicasaurus]

If I woke up to her voice everyday I'd be the luckiest person in the world

^-^

[dtdck]

i like how she just plays with her voice

[McJimG29]

Normally like this song but this version is awful, her voice is like a horse in real distress trying to walk over a tight rope made of live kittens (no animals harmed in the creation of that analogy).

[KaroSmiles]

Oh My Gawd!

She's amazing live.

No, acutally, she's just AMAZING.

<3

[dougdax]

She's just amazing...

[xShanRJx]

This is so amazing. Just two years ago she was on this stage and on Saturday night she was headlining. LOVE HER. Ahhh

[barnesdog100]

what is it that you want the audience to do? its a freaky version and theyre listening to it . . .like i would . . .then cheer at the end. good shit

[x3addict]

geile transe !
