Gotye and Kimbra, Somebody That I Used To Know, Splendour 2011

[Jaisun80]

Lols, Kimbra started to sing Gotye's opening line, wups XD Ah well, I think they both did well considering both the lack of crowd respect and the low fi recording.

[kingandrewapolo1]

i'm jealous of the crowd!

[Bloodydigger]

I WAS THERE

[trishroe]

I really like this song and the video but in this live performance the girl is woefully out of tune. Surely it's a basic requirement as a singer to sing in tune. He is.

[Mrpiggyinthemiddle]

Why only one "Gotye"? Go to Facebook Occupy Unearthed to protest.

[ransmastic]

NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOU SING IN THE CROWD!! WE JUST WANT TO HEAR GOTYE AND KIMBRA! FUCK!

[SuperHusl]

song of the 20th, 30th, 40th century

[MissPuckleberry]

wow this is good. They sound great live.

[twejry]

AAAAAAH kimbra i wanna eat u she's delicious

[thechewbaccadefence]

I take it he's heard of Elliott Smith.

[MsKelseyxx]

IK KRIJG KIPPENVEL

[TheShaneBabe]

She sounds flat in this. IT DOESN'T MATTER, COS HE AND SHE ARE FREAKING AMAZING -.-

[fopneus]

Gerard Eckdom, Dutch 3FM deejay, declared this song THE number one song for 2011. If Gerard says it's so, it's SO.

[lizzkittehloserface]

Kimbra's just left in the dark till it's her part lol

[annieemanniee]

@Nesto74 truefax. i love seeing live performances. but if the people in the audience at a concert i was at all died of an epidemic and it was just left me and my friends i wouldn't bat an eyelash at that concert.

[Chocolatekisslove]

Normally, Kimbra sounds great live, but this just hurts my ears

[WirlWind494]

@Chocolatekisslove In her defense, it's REALLY hard to hear yourself over a crowd. Especially one that loud.

I had similar issues when I used to play bass. Crowd would get loud and I couldn't hear my foldback. Only reason I didn't fail is I had frets and muscle memory to guide me, along with the drums.

I would think it'd be a lot harder to be pitch perfect etc with a crowd singing back at you and directing all that noise right at you.

[Mekakakaka]

i can never understand people who hate enthusiastic crowds in live videos. i think people who just stand around, looking miserable and only politely clapping at the end of songs are worse

[WirlWind494]

@Mekakakaka I think it's more when they are poorly recorded and drown out the music.

That's usually where I see the hate.

[ChalmersFoundation]

Is it just me or is the girl ALWAYS flat

[msfunnybunny101]

@ChalmersFoundation Kimbra's an amazing singer. I think it's just that the crowd is too loud.

Listen to her singing her own songs live.

[kellogsaye]

It's things like this that make me wish I had some type of musical talent.

Can you imagine how amazing it would be to have a crowd sing-a-long to a song you created, like that? To have so many people respond and enjoy something that was entirely yours? It astounds me!

[jabes88]

0:36 You have a chimpanzee in the audience good chum

[BALLATO99]

awsome makes me move and think of litle big planet

[cuppo74]

this little diddy will shit in for the jjj 100.......!

[junebub101]

<3



[darkfool74]

Forget Top 10. It will be No1. In Hottest 100 for 2011. It also became No.1 in ARIA charts on 16th August.. A long long time since an Australia Alternate Artist has done that (Spiderbait - Black Betty would be the last probably)

[daymryt]

yayyyy KIMBRA pretty Kiwi chick :D Make us proud back home in Nz :)

[rockxhero]

this song is how I found out about Kimbra, my latest musical obsession!

[xXxKaLLyxXx]

1 person must of been someone somebody used to know.

[TheSharz97]

I love this song so much

[immapeacemaniac1202]

Someone must have accidently pressed dislike :P

[lostinspace013]

Definetely - song of the year.

[Auzziechook]

The song is a quiet song that suddenly builds up to this beautiful crescendo when Kimbra joins, and this is ruined by the screaming crowd - sure have fun, but why not be silent until the performer asks so?

[DOLLFACEHHH]

that tent was so shitty and small who ever planned the line up times was a wanker

[streethassled]

GO KIWI!

[WEAREANIMALS]

LOVED that. wish I could have been there.

[hakzj]

fully just made me cry

[pinkmisty09]

@iluvswtas I was there, and the guy in front of me said that to his girlfriend, haha.

[GStarDragon]

@pinkmisty09 I tell ya what, Kimbra could turn a straight guy even straighter. ;)

[cytuber]

The crowd SHOULDN'T shut up.

Its a friggin concert. It's a LIVE performance and they're having a huge amount of fun. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!!! .

[youtubkeeper]

Very impressed he manages to hit the high notes in the chorus in his live performance!

[tancas5]

I was there and the noise from the crowd added to the moment, it was great........

[JBsVidyas]

@tancas5 this. it doesn't work for a youtube video but in that tent the crowd going nuts for them made it surreal

[VespaAudi]

screaming like a stranger and i feel so rough

[chipmcdollar]

he said be quiet so be pipe down

[iluvswtas]

That bloke could turn a straight guy gay

[DJaz11]

Gotye is a top bloke :)

[holden3253]

STOP SCREAMING!!....

[dewdropbythefarm]

wow. Would love to see hear this performed live



[Cephalonful]

Oh my god, crowd, just shut up already.

[TheSweetzLove]

i hate it when the people just scream to scream...

the dude asked for silence

have to respect that and the song would 've been so much more powerful..

but no

everyone had to scream sth inunderstandable

[cj4138]

@TheSweetzLove yeah... I don't know how to feel about it... I mean I wonder how they felt. I meeean, I'm imagining, it must be a wonder, seeing how the audience reacts when they asked for silence. Kiinda rude, kiinda nice, but just a spectacle, wonder it means? o_o well that's how I'd feel

[jimimuirhead2]

1 person is somebody i used to know

[Jarrod323]

GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS! :D

[lolligehenk]

thumbs up if you broke up with your partner just a few days before this song came out... it breaks me up every time i hear it, but i gotta love is. Best song in years.

[kazza626]

the crowd was going off!!

[ramiod]

thumbs up if youre listening to this in 2011!

[MetalMatt93]

@ramiod Why?

[DianaHidden]

Damn, this song is pure musical genius!

[aoffor12]

Goosebumps the whole time!!!!!!!

[DannyV1991]

i love how the cheeiring stops then all all start to sing along

[gangstalilHdawg]

I can't wait till I'm old enough to go to Splendour it looks like so much fun

[pupitski]

@gangstalilHdawg

been the last 3 years in a row and i wouldnt miss it for the world. The only thing that could possibly come close might be glastonbury. great atmosphere, amazing bands, very chilled and mental when you just want to jump in. Good luck when you do go, you will have a ball :)

[forshizzlemywizzle]

This guys voice.... I don't even have words.

[avocadoisdelicious]

I was working in the Pontoon bar across from this act. I could hear it being played as I went out for some ice bags. Longest ice trip I did the whole festival

[EmerinZoriginal]

oh lovely!

[katcrapsthat]

Yargh, amazing

[Ryno4205]

i wasnt even there and this gave me fucking goosebumps !!!

[MrFrogjumpshigh]

[currimundisurfwasmad]

[sak868]

I really felt soo happy listening to this.. i know its a sad song but to be apart of this crowd was just incredible!

[keedeng]

[defarulz]

@keedeng same here, kanye was good but I am gutted I missed Gotye.

[majimee324]

[stewmunji]

song of the year!!!

[MultiKlojo]

@stewmunji hell yeah



[ILoveLLawlietxD]

@stewmunji lol, i know this song for not even 4 days and that exact the same thought i had. Okay i thought: Best song/video 2011 AND 2012 (so far) xD

[Orrykej]

@stewmunji Song of the year? Song Of The Century !!

[imonfirebabe1]

This one probably my fave splendour act and there was alot of highlights !!

[CreameDeLaCreame]

this is the one act i really wanted to see but missed at Splendour

[trisKAT10]

This song will not only be in the Top 10, it will be #1 in JJJ Hottest 100. Especially considering the reaction of the crowd, the song has been out for less than a month!!! Great footage., bloddy fantastic song!!

[shawofit]

Best moment of spledour for me! Amazing that Wally had to tell everyone to shut up before he could start singing... Definately will be in top ten for the hottest 100!



[BenCB5]

So happy I was there!!!

When the spotlight came on Kimbra and she began singing was incredible!!!

[JJJListener]

The best Australian song this year.. clearly a major hottest 100 contender.

I count myself extremely lucky to be there to see their first live performance.

[BoyCello]

This is fantastic. 5 stars.

[gedski88]

I hate myself for not being there! :( Great song, top ten Tripple j's 100?

[TheOriginalHopkins]

Epic.

[Mariooo57]

incredible performance for an incredible song

[MrAdrianfarmer]

wish i was there!

[biffskin]

its so great to see the crowd responding like this on their first live performance of this song.  whatever they (g and k) want from music, i hope this song gives them some of that back.
