[XristineL22]

0:28 omg this is a hell of a dead audience!! :-O

i am socked. she is funny, full of energy, gorgeous and with a BEAUTIFUL voice, and their reaction is.........? clap...clap...to belgium.... -.-

[langandenton]

Shirley is amazing and her dress and body are amazing. But just look at those miserable f..eckers in the audience. I would have been standing up and joining in with her. Miserable Shits!

[368romeo]

These young singers nowadays... Shirley, IN HER 70s, puts the kids to shame!!!

[johannesMmartin]

the woman with best voice

[jakobbije]

ASAP & THEOPHILUS GONNA KILL THAT SHIT

[Pili767]

@acoc100 Así que conocés a una costurera para Shirley? Interesante, seguramente los productores de la diva van a estar muy agradecidos con ese dato y agradecerán infinitamente tu colaboración. Interesante comentario el tuyo. Mejor seguí escuchando a David Bowie. (son gustos)

[acoc100]

i know a good seamstress that could mend that dress for her. She will catch her death of cold.

[Pili767]

Fantástico, Dame Shirley!! Hermosa representación e interpretación vocal.

Actúa esa canción (la representa según la letra) y no está mal con nadie, como dicen por ahí. Ella es muy profesional. Además de actuar, habrán notado que algo canta, no?

[eqgmrdbz]

That audience is fail!!

[LemonPopsiclez]

WTF is wrong with the crowd?

[thegreenpearreview]

@LemonPopsiclez Dead God! 

[michelle23nrw]

Shirley Bassey = Grande Dame

[MrTonykulas]

Is she drunk? She is making me feel peculiar!

[paulo39667]

Were they schocked seeing it ? 

[thesingerperson]

That audience was so spoiled with an amazing performance, and they didn't even take advantage of it Dx

[hidoll22]

WOW HOW OLD IS SHE- SHE PUTS THE YOUNG GALS TO SHAME

[Thorneycroft1937]

@hidoll22 Now 74, 60 in this recording. Checka 2011 video of her out where she performs at Gorbachev's 80. birthday gala.

[theoneandonlymagnum]

I absolutely love her xD 

[cheasis]

hot chick!!!

[EllenAlexandraBond]

she's so sassy. 

[kageees2276]

Wow, With all due respect Ms Bassey I would love to "pop your cork' any time. The lyrics to this song were written by a woman[not surprising] name Dorothy Fields

[123TheHappy]

Sing uglier than a donkey

[123TheHappy]

Canta mas feo que un bburo

[irulzdahworld]

who havent heard this on a drag-show?

[redpoison6]

R.I.P crowd! Oh my god! How they can stay so quite???

[TheBrazenHell]

Those crowds need to know that it's a spender song, pretty obvious. :p

[MusicalsFan15]

you can really see she is enjoying herself, shame the audience aren't

[funniigal]

now THAT'S a diva

[squirell1952]

THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD SHIRLEY SING THIS SONG WAS ON BLACK AND

WHITE T.V. IN THE SIXTIES AND SHE HAD A REVEALING V-SHAPED LONG

DRESS ON HER. PROBABLY SILVER. COULDN'T TELL AS IT WAS A BLACK

AND WHITE T.V. SET AND IT WAS WAY BEFORE COLOUR T.V.!! ANYWAY, I

LOVE HER VERSION BUT WHERE CAN ONE GET HER HIT VERSION OF

SAME?

[nenofalletta]

at my fathers resteraunt for his birthday our karaoke host sang this song to him

[OTUSPIKE]

And to think here are some kids out there who call Dame Shirley and Tina Turner "Grandma"!

[kingseixasbr]

..is that a Mormon crowd..?

[lisethy]

Freddie Mercury lo hace mejor

[hofmannsapprentice]

lol @ 34 seconds, fat man not impressed.

[ElisaN92]

WOW!

[abalo2010]

[magilovesfenty]

[jaffarth]

[KalokerinesDiakopes1]

Wow, very good body and ofc energy for her age!!! She's also funny!!! Well done!!!

[domdedomify]

She is simply divine! What a talent! I'd love to see her duet with Streissand!

[Thorneycroft1937]

@domdedomify will not happen LOL

[thelottemf]

It looks liek that her teeth are two sizes too big haha

[Rosannasfriend]

@thelottemf her teeth look amazing...no idea what you're talking about.

[lovehristenko]

[denlillefinefisk]

I laughed my ass off and still enjoyed her amizing voice:P Great humor:D Thaks to shirley

[BlakesterMan]

@Dragongod462 They're all dead inside.

[sparklingshiraz1]

[01sugarplumfairy]

If I could sing a song one day in a stage with lights and all of thatt I definitely chose this song and I'd do the same movements she does, I lover her performances of Big Spender.

[sparklingshiraz1]

i just popped my cork lol

[djlessthanjonnie]

spppppeeeeennnnnndddd a little time on me...

[onlyweknow2]

She's great!

[MarilynMonroe4eva]

now THAT is talent

[TheScottishMac]

Bloody hell, that crowd was terrible. Probably German.

[langandenton]

@TheScottishMac Apparently they are Belgium - how embarrassing of them - they are all mongrels!

[1MAGICALtrevor]

she is just amazing! I hope I look that elegant and sexy when im her age :)

[MsTonicc]

Wow, how old is she? I am 15 and she´s got way more energy than I have. Love her xxx

[Thorneycroft1937]

@MsTonicc Now 74

[MsTonicc]

@Thorneycroft1937 I knew itXD

[SweetAsCookiePie]

I <3 Shirley Bassey she is incredible



[Charell17]

Shes amazing and they look like they are frozen and when she was going "good time" i was like okay now i need to learn a little bit from her.

[JCJ9114]

wow!

[onvelvetclover]

What a fantastic body, what a sexy woman. What a brilliant voice. My parents used to have parties in the 70's and play Shirley Bassey records when we were supposed to be asleep in bed but we used stay up to glimpse the grown ups through the crack in the door. What great parties. Still having them to this day. e

[TatianaOnegina2]

@pontedupre007 what is that supposed to mean?

[KrasnoChernaya]

total FAIL!!!

[KrasnoChernaya]

total FAIL!!!

[alwayswildatheart]

The youngsters miss the point in the use of sex appeal - this is how you make the best of what you've got and put it out there without being cheap trash. Shirley's performance is smokin' hot for any normal red blooded person.

Shame she was strutting her stuff to snow people at the North Pole or something

[Tockers1984]

wrong, just wrong

[sugarfreemars]

LOVE HER!!! That crowd SUX though

[Omniscientmonkey]

She's such a legend!

[SoYourLifeSucks]

Tough Crowd; they needed some fresh air or something. To me, she'll always be GoldFinger!

[doloreslawrence]

Dame Shirley, the young female singers don't stand a chance, you got the young guys hot on your trail...Learn young ones, learn!

[rachelrees2]

would love an honest opinion of my first ever video attempting to sing Big Spender... i bow down to you Shirl :D xx



[rachelrees2]

would love an honest opinion of my first ever video attempting to sing Big Spender... i bow down to you Shirl :D xx

[CelineQueenDiva]

I love the title of the DVD. So true.

[TINACHER1]

@Justme93PCD This is a response to a comment made on this video and a reply to me by Justme93PCD. Continued! By way of a little giggle and as I mentioned in the previous comment about other funny observations. Perhaps you were in the audience and acting like a 'cardboard cutout'! LoL. Incidentally, you are correct in saying that there is a difference between us...I'm suggesting probably a BIG difference. Be happy...life's too short.

[TINACHER1]

@Justme93PCD Furthermore: Nonchalant laughing: DSB is acting out the song. I really fail to fully understand your reply to me. When I perform this song in my impersonation show I 'play' with the audience in exactly the same way with exactly the same kind of moves! Dame Shirley Bassey! One of her most famous songs. She has an amazing voice. May suggest you check out her more 'serious' songs. Perhaps you will be more 'entertained'! Referring to other funny but observant comments I've read here:

[TINACHER1]

I am reluctant to get into a silly discussion about this matter but I feel compelled to explain 'SOMETHING' to you, excuse the pun! If you were a DSB fan or at least know anything about this lady and her performances I doubt you would have commented in a derogative manner in the first instance. However, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you do not like her interpretation of the song I guess THAT'S IT! You quote ..wanna see that kinda focus??? The fact is DSB is 'focused' on her audience.

[soundtrackgamer]

Whats wrong with the crowd?? They look a bit grumpy. :|

[dairyqueen98]

you know shes not lypsyncing in the beginning

[79274333]

I think she is still gorgeous, what a magnificent teasy performance from a woman comfortable with herself.

[nicofico123456]

ma dove ha la cellulite??? non c'è....? questa donna ha delle gambe da urlo.... voce phatos e carisma da urlo.... orchestra poi da stra urlo....!

[nytrini2005]

I think the audience is dead!!!

[ewoksrcute]

yeah they are awfully quiet......and she is really trying to get tehm to interact.......they are all party poopers!

[2lovs4music]

Holy Sht======0:23 & 0:30====Beautiful Body, Beautiful Strong Voice==

Georgeous Everything Else. 1:21 OH GOODNESS!

I Hope that She is Recovering From Her Stomach Problem.

[Thorneycroft1937]

@2lovs4music Is she ill?

[2lovs4music]

@Thorneycroft1937 I Read In A Recent Story Of Her That She Had To Be Taken To The Doctor During The NIght for a Stomach Problem. She Was Suposed to Sing For Nelson Mandell's Birthday Bash, Not too Long Ago, But I Noticed that She Wasn't One Of The Performers! That's All I Konw!

Anyone Else Have Information????

[Thorneycroft1937]

@2lovs4music Her stomach problems were in 2008, she pulled out of the Mandela concert then. 3 years ago.

[MnNm09v]

que asco de anuncios,prefiero ver otro videoooooooooooooooooo

[47yesican]

My Lord, She Lifts Up Her Dress & Asks If We Like It!

Yeaaaaaaaa! Hummmm

She's a Treasure & Knows Exactly How To Perform!!

[desert3347]

VOICE YES, BODY YES, RED WIG NO!

[blkchk]

@desert3347 I gotta agree about the wig.

[Josedehesa]

tO PERFORM FOR THIS IDIOTS MUST BE ON DRUGS....

[micheramirez88]

damn! whats wrong with the crowd? they suck!

[15TheHandballfreak]

I think she's on drugs

[Justme93PCD]

She may have an amazing voice, but this performance was hella unprofessional 

[Rosannasfriend]

@Justme93PCD no it wasn't. You can say it was trashy,.but in entertainment getting a little trashy and showing some skin is not "unprofessional". That said, I don't think it was trashy. It is no different than wearing high cut spandex or bikini. She's got great gams, why not flaunt?

[Justme93PCD]

@Rosannasfriend I wAsn't pointing at the skin. I'm all up for people showing skin (actually depends on song topic) but yeah if you're singing about seducing a rich dude then show your skin. But the reason I called it unprofessional is because she talks and laughs through the performance and most of the time she sings very nonchalant

[Rosannasfriend]

@Justme93PCD she's playing with and engaging the audience. That is the epitome of professional to me, but you're free to feel how you do. :)

[langandenton]

@Justme93PCD I think she may have been shocked by the "DEAD" audience!

[TINACHER1]

@Justme93PCD

Unprofessional...what RUBBISH..It's what's called entertaining your audience...having fun...you know what that is don't you. This became DSB's interpretation of the song and she has performed it in this way for many years. LoL

[Justme93PCD]

@TINACHER1 when I hear someone perform this song I expect vocals and sexiness. Not nonchalant laughing and singing. That's the difference between us, I wanna see that kinda focus that will make you forget everything around you and make you see the performance without waiting on something good happening

[Rosannasfriend]

@Justme93PCD this is a fun, flirty sexy song, and DSB keeps it so by flirting with the audience and charming them in her effortlessly sexy way, while still singing and sounding fabulous. I'm sorry you did not understand that. This her interpretation of the song, if you want less talking you can watch an earlier rendition. I for one love them all.

[Real454545]

How old was she then ?

[Thorneycroft1937]

@Real454545 60

[Rosannasfriend]

@Real454545 I believe this 1995, so 58 years old.

[helenajesstarzak]

Damn she is hot for a grandma!!!

[Wizbang2u]

DAD .. IF YOUR LOOKING .. THIS ONE IS FOR YOU :)

[Dragongod462]

Ok whats wrong with that crowd? They act like they are dead.

[luciok]

@Dragongod462 rich people..

[rayclarkpalmer]

@Dragongod462

You're right. At about 0.27 into the video you actuallly see two guys in the front rown sitting with their arms folded across their chests.

[maricle100]

@Dragongod462 maybe they are, lots of people are even though they don'y know it.

[jayxoxoxable]

The audience sucks

[tutorlog]

WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE HER!!

[sisao80]

@tutorlog well i hope you a girl then :D

[TheLovelyladylover]

Great performance!! Great song!!

[TheRedalert73]

This is my Boxing day kareaoke song me thinks lol

[shane69999]

that chicks friggin STONED.... id nail her though

[spyromatt]

surely she's having fun here/ u could see her laugh a bit @ 0:11. still the quality of voice is strong and perfect.

[mitcimitc]

She's in her 60's or 70's (I don't know), I'm in my teens.

She has a better fanny than mine, she has more sex appeal than I do, she has more energy than I do!

Well, I need to move my arse off the chair and start working out!

[missMJ95]

@mitcimitc i know right :\ im feeling the same way

haha

[JudgeJulieLit]

@mitcimitc  I recommend video Buns of Steel ... and in weeks you will surpass her !

[OmuNegru06]

@mitcimitc sounds like you're american

[tara25191]

@mitcimitc lol

[LaserBeam002]

Real class and talent from beginning to end. Thank you for posting this.

[Angieyt]

What the fuck is with the audience?????

[marcus10]

@Angieyt Belgians...

[THB79]

Remember the old cigar commercial, "spend a little dime with me"?

[DFWBrysco]

Who cares about Gaga? This is Shirley! However, I do have to say I am disappointed by this. She looks gorgeous, but she has gotten to that age that she isn't trying anymore. She's like Madonna - she can spit on the sidewalk and it becomes a #1 hit. This video exemplifies it - she doesn't try to sing it like the original, and makes it more of a joke. This is a shame... I was hoping to see Shirley at her best.

[MusicLoverBrian1]

@DFWBrysco

Well you have to remember Shirley Bassey sung "Big Spender" for many many years and when you sing the same song for many years you can get bored with it if you sing it the same way. Over the years Shirley has made the song fresh and new not just for her but for her fans as well. I don't even expect Shirley to sing "Big Spender" exactly as she did on the album. Shirley, either at her finest and worst is better than many of these "so-called" singers that comes out today.

[darius86ify]

WOW!!!!!

[Thorneycroft1937]

Lady Gaga is NOT a great singer, in fact she can't sing and she is not comparable to Shirley who is as talented as beautiful.

[Thorneycroft1937]

@Thorneycroft1937

I think that Lady Gaga is also working very hard for her success and touring all the time but to me she is not a good singer.

[sfbaygirl]

Lol the crowd is pretty blah, but it is cultural. The Belgians, like Germans or Scandinavians, show far less outward emotion than say the Italians or French.

[LaserBeam002]

EVERYONE.....if a stupid political commercial or some other commercial comes on before your vid starts....hit F5. That should skip the commercial and start your vid.

[AbiLuv1000]

@LaserBeam002 I did that and it started again lol

[LaserBeam002]

@AbiLuv1000 I only had to hit F5 once BUT on other vids I had to hit it 2 or 3 times but it usually works. If I knew another way to avoid those stupid commericals I would pass it along to everyone. Hope you get it to work.

[ittybittybabyforrest]

she's so eccentric but just pulls it off.

[o0MiTu0o]

did she take drugs before this performance??? xD funny

[szabieger]

i like her

[Buddha52266]

THAT'S a Singer !!! Here voice doesn't age ... Unlike , Miss Ross and Barbra .....

[Genderfcukbel]

great time to be had

[nienientje]

DAMN She looks damn good fo her age!!!!

I hope I have a body like hers, when I'm that age!!!

[XyliaTaffan]

shes so classy

[atomicnortherner]

WTF! was that audience a cardboard cut out or something? that was brill! she was giving a lady gaga a run for her money and could be her grandma AND IM 26 AND SAYING THAT!

[Outsiderira]

amazing woman!

[honestmixguy]

DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[redredreds100]

There is sexy shirley bassey, singing so sexy, looking so sexy, lifting her dress, and just about as sexy as you can get, and there are two guys on front table, arms crossed, dead pan faces, looking like tthey are not seeing the show, what a duff audience,

[TheTick900]

Good lord, the audience were bumps on a log with this show. Shirley Bassey is FABulous!

[redredreds100]

@TheTick900 I cannot believe Shirley is so sexy, showing her legs, and just oozing with classy sex appeal, and the audience is so bla, especially two guys on front table

[PeppermintGlow]

Lol! Shirley! Totally a gal I'd love to meet! :D Even if she is supposedly of a different generation... <3 Miss real music <3

[mtvne]

Pure class! great performance

[Romantasycabaret]

love the dress!

[The4Wuz]

props to the crazy white lady... she was getn it.

[sweetamber18]

@The4Wuz she's not white!

[nichtsleezy]

@sweetamber18 Who is not white???? One of her parents was white, which makes her half-white.

[LaCriollaRoja]

@The4Wuz She's actually Black lol Nigerian/ West Indian father, I've heard :)

[DyFM3]

ewww no on want to see dat

[Rosannasfriend]

@DyFM3 she's toned enough to get away with it.

[DyFM3]

ewww

[dscb33]

GREAT :D

[jazzylovesmikey1992]

Yes. I love this song. Hey big spender! Spend a little time with me ;-)

[asherally]

She's still got her sexiness <3 Ha, "I know you like that" lol 1:25

[nayanadaito]

PURE CLASS!

[VLOVE2SEX]

I love shirley bassey!

[bloodsplurt007]

hahahaha, ageless performance. love this.

[Sanriko]

Dang, you'd think the crowd would be more enthusiastic. This woman deserves some high strung crowds cheering her.

[mcpadvers]

NO ONE is better than Shirley Bassey!!!!!!!!

[vzrp2007]

A once in a lifetime performer. It is my complete pleasure to watch Dame Shirley. Her voice, facial gestures, body language, and playfulness with the audience have yet to be matched by any of today's performers.

Thank you Ms Bassey for being who you are!

[mammoth982]

I like it song very good and behavior is amusing!!!

[sgtmact]

Imagine a cross with Tom Jones. You could have Tom singing Big Spender and Shirley singing Delilah

[ladytsprts]

She's awesome, singers today can't touch that style and class!
