David Bowie + Alicia Keys - Changes

[weathergage]

Allegedly Bowie’s hitherto last live performance – No less!

[sratus]

this is wrong

[Scottishnongolfer1]

Alicia--can't sing comments--who gives a shit. It's like beach volleyball, I'm watching for sexy Women's asses. Not the music.

[LedingthiltheGreat]

horrible graphics and alicia cant sing to me............ can t understand that words

[youmayrememberme]

I love the clap dance David always does! <3 Ugh, Alicia and Bowie are two of my fave all time singers and I so wish I could have seen this live, or just Bowie live at some point in my life. Would have been the best day ever! :(

[RebelAlien84]

This is such a great performance, but my enjoyment has been tainted by all the negative comments........makes me wish i would have not scrolled down.

[ezaube1030]

I am really amazed about some of the comments below. This is such a rare treasure to watch

and there are lots of really ignorant comments and thumbs down. Here the sound and video quality don't matter, the only thing that is important is that thanks to the uploader this performance can be watched at all, which has sadly been the last (recorded) live performance of David Bowie to date.

[MoblePhnsMakeUGrwOld]

wow - 2006 -

thx 4

posting this-

[greengreengreen19]

love love love this, thank you

[Laurilium]

just'aah, want to hear better quality music :)

i mean the sound quality.

[astroblak82]

Don't (most of us) go through changes and grow? I think this is first collab. with a black woman that I know of but does that make any diff.? no. Wish I could have been there. Love Bowie, really like Alicia Keys, wish I woulda been there.

[dlfunky1]

@astroblak82 he did a collab with tina turner and alicia keys isnt black shes mixed. JUST SAYING!

[astroblak82]

@dlfunky1 You are right, she is mixed. That is different than being black. What song did he do with Ms. Turner?

[dlfunky1]

@astroblak82 He did a song called Tonight here is the footage: watch?v=p4WG_y7owmM very sexy stuff lol!

plus a cheesy pepsi ad here it is watch?v=xEXTvMu18qg enjoy!

[ziggrl]

Bootlegs don't always sound good, but they are diamonds.

[treyspr]

why bowie why!

[DinoLucca1]

This is a fantastic and rare post. I would like to thank you for uploading it.

The people who are complaining are obviously not true fans, and should stick to watching lesser performers !

[Sssimone]

@DinoLucca1  Thank you :) You are very welcome!

[mrwhitford1966]

@DinoLucca1 Yes, well said! No class; no sense of history.

[FreneticKey]

Bowie amazing

[Chrono1296]

@rushforce33

actually hes married to a FEMALE supermodel. So yes, hes into women

[RoPiDe]

i love how he sings this glam songs in coat and tie hahaha

[tony5469]

I would have let someone other than Michael J. Fox shoot this one.

[toweronepower]

Was it a bowie or keys concert?

[KurtCobainof21]

Youre right about the first part he's not up his own arse, but shes still a crap artist

[Kebzicum]

Man Bowie is freeekaaaaaaayyyyy and i luv it

[juliekstroup]

Uh, she really doesn't fit with this song and sort of bastardizes it.

[eastshorejohn]

Love Alicia, Love Bowie, Love the song, Love the idea! It just doesn't work.

[Chrono1296]

5 bucks says they slept with each other

[Sssimone]

@Chrono1296

LOL

I highly doubt it. Who is 5 bucks?

[biggdaps]

@Sssimone lawlawlawl funny man ;P

[brutalhits]

@Sssimone 50 cent's rich cousin

[godsofliberty]

@rushforce33 Wow, you didn't do a single moment of research before that comment, did you? Lmao

[deedundone]

wait what was the song at the end haha, thats epic to?

[fischercatnaritus]

@deedundone the song at the end is called "let's dance" by david bowie from his album released in 1983 titled "let's dance" great song

[deedundone]

@fischercatnaritus its been so long i havnt heard it, let me see what it sound slike lol, i said it was epic lol, so lets see, and thank you!!!! if it is epic haha.

[deedundone]

@fischercatnaritus oh, omfg its that song hahahah!!!!!!! i know that song lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deedundone]

awesome. plain and simple.

[MrRedrocket7]

Sssimone, you lucky guy !

[CHANTELsce]

and I'm sure he knew before the performance he knew how she was going to sing..they do have REHEARSALS. DUH.

[CHANTELsce]

Stans are stupid, and to think I'm sure it's older people making these tasteless comments. Ridiculous. They both sang it well, things change and he obviously had no problem duet-ting with her. Why can't he sing with Alicia for charity if he wants to? Are you mad that he made the decision to sing with her? She sounds good.

[Zro202]

Get her away from Bowie and this song! Yikes...

[pentangle78]

no no bowie is much better alone, please. Let him alone! she screams all the time.

Evviva Bowie da solo!

[IDEMANDPOPCORN]

Alicia Keys better be damn grateful that she got to do a duet with DAVID MOTHERFUCKING BOWIE.

[antisadism]

Its not about who is better, its about being nice.

[Trubisha]

Thankyou so much for the vid and capturing it in the first place. I can barely operate even a telephone or a clock so its so appreciated, thanks! And Bowie is my hero, thankx!

[kingrob29]

Oh no, Alicia screwed up the lyrics.

[noemiel14]

alicias keys ? don't make me laught ..

DAVID BOWIE IS PEFECT, HE DOESN'T NEED HER !

[kassetter333]

The point is that you, sssimone not have music historical experience, and you shit yourself

[carlessyen77]

Okay someone asked me a question about why I said Alicia Keys was more decorated as a Artist . Im not one to argue but I wanted to answer them and not be rude. So how I mean't when I made the statement was this. She has been nominated for 184 awards in her young career and has won 103 of them. Compared to bowie which as beena round a far greater period of time and has been Nominated 44 and won 14. I'm not saying one is greater then the other Im just explaining how I mean't by decorated.

[purpleteardrops1]

alicia wasn't that bad. like a few others were saying, this just isn't her song.

her & bowie were great. love this song too. <3

[Warhero797]

Pretty good, I never thought she would have anything to do with David Bowie. But she was very good. *like*

[Kovna]

Bad quality.  Making it not worthwhile watching.

[DinoLucca1]

@Kovna  SHHHHHH !

[carlessyen77]

why do people always have something to say about everything, so annoying big moment in thier life to see this if they wanna share it who cares. No one made you watch it. I'd love to been there. Then someone says something about Alicia Keys when she is a more decorated artist then Bowie. They are both great you saw her name there, if you don't like her you probably shouldn't have watched. Stop being so one demensional there are so many types of great music and artist, quit hatin

[kezzer2]

@carlessyen77 Agreed..good comment!!

[lheathblue]

@carlessyen77 could you please explain in what way you think she is a more decorated artist than Bowie.

[carlessyen77]

@lheathblue I didnt know you could replay i posted ur answer though

[Kovna]

@carlessyen77

My opinion on Alicia Keys or on David Bowie had nothing to do with my comment, which referred to the technical quality of the video. If you want to enjoy the said artists, you need to watch a video of good quality, not like this one.

[bowie2too]

@Kovna Bullshit!

[Scoobydoonut]

Thanks so much for posting this, it's just so good to see David singing and looking so good, especially since he's been so scarce since the heart attack. I love all 3 of these wonderful songs, Fantastic Voyage being my favorite of the three because it's David singing by himself, but everything minute that we get to see him is a special treasure. A lot of my girl friends treasure these clips too, so don't let the critics get you down.

[99truckstop]

whats the point without the sound

[Sssimone]

@99truckstop without sound??? You sure you had your speakers turned on? ;)

[bonovox103]

@Sssimone He's saying the sound quality sucks with cellphone camera or whatever camera you used.

[HeatherRebekah1992]

WOW!!!!!!! fair play, i know the audio is naff but what can you expect from a concert recording? the only decent sound quality really is done by the professionals who are payed to record it, so well done for having that, like you said its something and better than nothing :) Xx

[TwilightIsOurBible]

Great! <3 David was, is, and always will be, a legend. Fuck all the bellends who say hes shit. Do they even know what they are talking about? Not the best audio though. :(

[QueenMAB418]

This would have been a LOT better without Alicia Keys. And I have to agree, your bootleg camera suxxorz, badly. But good enough for you, so why inflict it on us?

[Sssimone]

@QueenMAB418 What do you mean? So you are saying I should have kept it to myself, cause its too bad for others to watch?

[SaulFernandezPrieto]

@Sssimone Great stuff man. Thanks for sharing this.

[kcasperpdx]

It's really pretty good for a damned camera phone-- good job. You get the feel of it.

[carmangeria]

what did that black woman do to the song? :/

[dickydarcy]

No need to pay out on Alicia, she sings her ass off but the sound quality sucks. She is singing and nailing upper harmonies that you are not familiar with hearing in this tune so coupled with the sound quality you are mistaking it for error or sloppiness.

[DinosaurM1911]

The day Alica Keys "upstages" David Bowie will be the last day in the history of our wonderful planet.

[rubberrev0lver]

more like a guppy in a shark tank

[dantean]

Wow.

[MrFlatspace]

@blues917 i agree but suspect Alicia was in WOW of David & Iman and was fearful of - upstaging- David w younger fans who Alicia wanted2respect David and Iman.

[BakaPyros]

FUCK YEAH, I love David Bowie. <3

[TheJStraw]

I'm not very familiar with Alicia Keys, but this video was awsome!

[themidnightjudge1]

If only the sound quality were a bit better. It's well done as far as I can tell.

[28maganda]

she should have stuck with the piano on this one,,,,,,,,,,

[arabiansanchez]

I agree. As for the "nuclear confrontations" line she dropped in...

Bowie just wants to make music. He's been on record saying he doesn't want to be a poster boy for any political cause. I can imagine him being a bit irked at that.

[babyruth15]

wow awesome

[youmayrememberme]

amazing! they're like my two fave singers!

[mrssh]

Two VERY talented people, but this one didnt realy happen, i guess you had to be there!.....Rock on Bowie!!!!!!!

[Kikoune974]

How come Alicia is not playing the piano?!?

[xeal1387]

Does David Bowie play guitar live anymore ?

[simotazoa]

Hi xeal1387 I saw him a couple of years ago and he played some acoustic and electric.....was a great gig : )

[marilenasonia]

GRANDISSIMO DAVID!!!!!

[klickenpod]

one word: LEGIT

[DANTECHPFN]

s'il vous plais faite attention avec le son quand vous encoder !!!

[NmmiNut]

Thanks for putting this up!

[nouveauxdecadence]

Geez, she wasn't that bad!

I think some are being a tad harsh on the poor woman...

[forgetmrblue]

david is great

[ledgerdeathshit]

She's a wonderful singer....This voice is Just David's song, not hers, and it doesn't suit her voice.

[BunniLovePickle]

She was like a fan singing on stage. She's alright, but she wasn't as professional as she usually seems.

[BreakingGlass77]

I just farted

[sard37]

you should change your name to breakingwind....

[dejahthoris]

lol

[BreakingGlass77]

Haha. Every now and again I just put the most random comment ever just to see what people's reactions would be.

[sard37]

When i do that i get death threats....lol....eerrr..not farting, the random comment thing.

[sard37]

Thats not Bowie!

[ledgerdeathshit]

It is.

[sard37]

It might be the dodgy camera phone, i know they have perfomed together for the "Keep a child alive foundation"

its just the height difference between them, it should be 4", i know its hard to judge with them moving about

[Sssimone]

actually it wasnt a camera phone, it was just a camera. And it sure was Bowie :)

[terrier136]

alicia is a wonderful singer but bowie killed her

or maybe it's the sound quality... i dunno

[clashfreak4]

How many times does she say THANK YOU? she ruined the song

[letmeinthen]

Would be good without her awful offkey monotone shrieking!

[Suku919]

She... was way too into it..

[cyrus138]

she's trying to sing like she's in diva 2000. she really ruined this.

[Jcrystal92]

i wana see david bowie live T^T!!

[MishuTaste]

She upped that song to a new level.

[williamtaylor29]

horrible

[raeynah]

christ she murdered this song

[ninaisthekoolest]

god, i know!!!! just sing the fucking song!

[knrose10]

next time u post a vid please get a recorder with better sound quality

[Sssimone]

well, sorry that the sound isnt that clear, but it was just my digital camera. Usually there are other recordings around anyways as well, so for me it was just fine this way, and better than nothing, eh? :)

[OralSlave4U1017]

@Sssimone Sweet Ssss , u r the star 4 enjoying such a star on any level of recording , dont even recognize a fools comment , as then no one can differentiate between the fool , and 'his' target , luv,peace out

[theotheraldo]

@knrose10 yeah, fuck you. it wasn't Sssimone's obligation to post an amazing quality video for you.

[smarties996]

@knrose10 eh, fuck up mate. she was there and happened to have a camera and thought she would capture the moment and share it with people, nd your instructing her to get a better camera? fuck up bitch!

[AmadeusIStarr]

hey, where did they go, remeber he likes afro-americans (H)

[dfarmbrough]

Good performance, poor quality sound

[Styrecat]

Bowie got the moves!

[troddsy]

bowie OWNS you

[Daniel1989Do]

When was that?

[Hancox17]

Looks Like Alicia Keys went to Tina Turners school of dance. She aint got no riddum LOL

[trulynot]

hahaha

[DBCrowns]

i loved it . more younger fans and wider audiences for david.

[Ieatbabyseals]

bowie was on key...

[joshpembers]

Alicia Keys is a wonderful singer and performer. However, I just wonder why David Bowie agreed to a "duo" of one of "his" songs...because she ruined it.

[ilikecheetosevenmore]

It sounded weird, No effence. I like i. But it shouned like she was off key. :(! But I wouldn't think hat she would be. Was it it audio? Anyway. I loved her shirt by the way! :)!!!!

[liamsp544]

wow look at alicia keyes swinging her arms around like clubs, she looks like Capt. Jack Sparrow!

[shazaha]

lol, i agree.

[chitchatdance]

wow that was horrible

[chrisMME]

is there a version with a better quali????

[Sssimone]

well, there were some other people filming it as well, but I have never come across another version of it yet unfortuantely...

[sentient02970]

camera and sound destroys what probably was a great performance here

[LexxySixx]

.............

[fifivilde]

Is it some studio version with this song or is it just live?

[Sssimone]

They only did it live together

[eternalpondering]

I think the major question here is what is Alicia wearing? And I would have to agree that the audio recording is the problem not the preformers.

[IIIMPULSE]

i think she might be a secret pirate

[wildysary]

Yeah I think the problem is the audio recording...not David and Alicia Keys...

[meneit]

si sente da culo... sad

[natalieisgreat]

why the hell did David do this

I love David

[duckyiskewl]

WHY????

D:

Why bowie....

why.......

[nouveauxdecadence]

David Bowie is not so far up his arse that he won't perform with an artist that is totally opposite of him. That's why, and that is what artistry is about!

It is a different collaboration, but David has always crossed musical boundries.

From Glam Rock, Experimental, a dash in New Romanticism, Soul, Funk e.t.c...

Anyone would think he did a duet with horrors like Britney Spears, now THAT I would understand!

[pozzebon]

@nouveauxdecadence maybe you didnt hear but... just in case u havent... LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!! HE CANT HELP THAT HE MIMES ALL HIS SONGS.... IT ISNT HIS FAULT THAT HE SHAVED HIS HEAD IN A DRUNKEN RAMPAGE, TURNING HIM INTO AN EVEN BIGGER FREAK THAT HE IS... YOU SELFISH PEOPLE REDUCED HIM TO THIS... ALL YOU WANT IS MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE BASTARDS! LEAVE HIM ALONE GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *SOBS AND FIXES MAKEUP* LOL MAN... ROFL... just joking!

[darryllobo14]

@nouveauxdecadence I agree im not into alicia keys, but I have to admit she has lots of talent compared to Britney spears or anyone out there who auto tunes the shit out of their voice.

[funkateer854]

...

[Jagwyre12]

Why?

who arranged this it is CRAP

Whoever organised for them to sing together must have been deaf

[MOSFET2288]

It's difficult to do justice to an original masterpiece, particularly in an open-air concert many years later with someone who is not a member of the original supporting cast.

[Sssimone]

Actually it wasn´t open air, it was at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

[fallenangel4gt]

this sucks!!

they did not harmonize at all!

[GeoVII]

Ummmm... I hear a harmony in there... I think it's the crappy camera phone audio and not the singers/arrangers that are messing up the song.

[Sssimone]

Well, sure, they did sound better in person, than on the recording. Though I admit, I did prefer the solo songs he did there on his own, more than the duet with Alicia Keys....didn´t like that version of "Changes" too much

[oreoXinsanity]

yeah, I'm sure somehow the crappy camera phone made David sound fine but Alicia sound like crap....

[sparklemist]

all i have to say WTF?!

[bcrfaneric]

i agree, these two were not a good match. Now listen to her and Stevie wonder sing higher ground on the 2006 grammy awards now thats a match.

[reallyupthere]

she ain't nobody. sorry bowie had to put up with her. trash

[wassupsillie]

okay, alicia keys has a beautiful voice, and david bowie too . but togeher .. woah.. bad mix.

[joshpembers]

I wonder why Bowie would allow Alicia to appear with him, and in essence, ruin his song. She's a great singer... but this song (the way she does it here) just detracts from the song.

[arabiansanchez]

The "nuclear confrontations" ad lib pissed me off.

You do not use a 35 year old classic to make a political statement.

[mrsmajortom]

cus bowies lovly :)

[freakineye]

WTF, she turned this rock classic into a generic gospel "hallelujah" number and then yelled her ass off like it's some vocal competition!

[bsmosley]

Started off great.

[DBCrowns]

Bowie's the Best Ever!

[albatros777]

I'm not an Alicia keys fan but I don't like pretension between musicians. Also Alicia keys had the guts to say "Gangster Rap is a conspiracy to get black people to kill eachother." So She has some of my respect for that! :-)

[pouidg]

She doesn' t know how to sing,she kills the song .

She doesn't deserve to be on stage

[gunklejay]

you are a moron
