A rare person with tremendous talent and skill. Demanding expectations and sensational results she should never ever make an apology for. Good heavens, If she were a passive woman she would be less than mediocre!! She demands the best and she delivers the best!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks stunning in the dress in which she rehearses Goldfinger and Lady is a tramp , much better than in this white gown she wore 1997, this white one looks marvellous in the Big Spender performance of this year but she wore and wears much better gowns than this - and that red hair at this time?! I really liked her red hair in Istanbul 1995 it looked fantastic but the red wig from her 1997 concert is rather unfortunate.
Ms Bassey been around b4 the Queen of soul, that proves a point first. and to still belt it as she is as if 50yrs is nothing is just tops. love you Ms Bassey. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Too much Drama for a Great Singer during the rehearsal parts of history - the pettiness here shows here in a negative light sorry - so she stood in a gown for three hours - yes - but for over 50 thousand dollars - A great singer yes - but I understand a real bitch
@ramona2400 she's actually a nice person. Anyone can be a bit demanding or bratty. No biggie. If the camera caught you at a bad moment, I'm sure you wouldn't want ppl thinking that says it all about you, now would you? Alot of divas give off attitude. I for one wouldn't like standing for over 3 hours, regardless of the circumstances.
@Rosannasfriend well said :D who can blame her right ? and if you watch the video it looks like they are ignoring her so she screams out of frustrating and the two men sneer about it ! don't care what anyone says she is a true LEGEND! i love her to bits <3
As I am a very young singer, I wold really love to meet her one day. I am so curious to know her secret techniques to sing like this.. Perfectly huge!
I think it's talent, and years of experience and confidence......she's in control and knows what she wants to do. Good luck with your singing - just down try to imitate anyone, be yourself !
Tomorrow isn't promised to any of us. Life is about balance. She could retire, gracefully if she wishes. After all, she is royalty, for heaven's sake.
She is the one who knows what the final product should be because she was born with a musical brain and rythm from head to toe. So people pay attention to her.
I have to say when I 1st saw the "Divas Are Forever" DVD and saw Shirley sing that last note on "Lady Is a Tramp", I had to pick my jaw off the floor and replay it several times, because not only is she holding that note effortlessly and with power, HER HANDS ARE IN HER POCKETS!!!
Poor classy Shirley Bassey, working with them scruffy tossers.

She certainly stands out (as if she wouldn't anyway) from those scruffbags playing the background music.

Dame Shirley has over 50 years of No Biz, Like ShowBiz under her belt, so to speak.
Yes, she is intelligent enough to know what is best for her. Better than the much younger director.

Everyone buy the Divas Are Forever DVD to get more behind the scenes clips and the full concert.
