Robyn - Dancing On My Own (Letterman 07.19.2010)

[nikolinapapa]

I love Robyn and it bugs me that Canadian radio stations don't play her MORE- i'm tired of hearing Katy Perry on all stations at once, Robyn for me is SO much better and each song is just great!

[DavidWoodsReel]

Shit this is good.

[LimeGreenWolf]

she has more energy than Lady Gaga, and when I say that I mean it seems more genuine

she is so legit =)

[HellField04]

@LimeGreenWolf - I love your comment - it's exactly what I wanted to say. Oh, and why the fuck isn't this lady more respected outside of Sweden.

[hommie4112]

she fucking beats all other female performers out there! Robyn should RULE. she's fucking intense and amazing.

[TheEverlastingSM]

True live music ! RESPECT !

[blackski112]

as original as Gaga, talented as Beyonce, and meaningful as Adele. Why doesn't she rule the world yet?

[StrongFives]

She had me at “somebody”.

[badassjackie]

Love me some Robyn

[disobediance]

"...from sweden, oh THAT explains it" what the fuck's that mean?

[Mackaron]

@disobediance han är en idiot.

[sirenaAB]

jätte bra!!!! love it!!! gretings from FIROM

[aminaxox88]

If that were me up there I woulda gotten tangled up and tripped all over that mic cord haha.

[emanuelkarlsten]

Björn Borg? Thats all I got. Haha!

[stevendpowell]

Never heard of her before I saw this on this crappy show. This is the best performane I have seen on TV..... the drummers work so well and she sings like there is no tomorrow... love her moves and the lighting is spot on...... love it love it love it

[spurv]

I love this song. but unfortunatly she americanized it for Lettermans sake.

The real charm of this song is its inherent electro-feel, and its pretty much gone in this live version. Someone remove those drummers from the stage, please.

Its also dissapointing she compressed the song so much, leaving out all the good stuff, like the intro and the instrumental part near the end. But there you have it: Americans need it McDonaldized. :)

[charnk]

@spurv The drummers give it punch and I think its very european to perform the way she does. Youre way off here buddy.

[spurv]

@charnk Yeah, I guess. If you want punch like Sister Sledge.

[charnk]

@spurv If you check out her performing for the nobel peace prize ceremony or virtually any concert in Europe, she has the two drummers with her and its AWESOME!!! You're in the minnority, kinda like people that dont find Gwen Stefani annoying.

[spurv]

@charnk Well....you wrote it in caps, so it must be right.

[appyguy]

Hmmm, love me some Robyn, but those dance moves are a little too "Papa Don't Preach" 80's Madonna ;-) LoL

[jamgp2009]

@appyguy i think thats the point!

[maruvel]

i always love her so much...

[Crinwa]

SHE IS SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[IX19UT8O]

She's been perfoming for a long time in Europe. I think she is nominated for an Emmy. I like her but for me the best is Anouk. Don't unerstand why Anouk nevered performed in the U.S.

[bbblah1234]

her dace moves scare me kinda

[MrGaidzak]

this is awesome.. to see a lady that is new to many of you..... and old to some of us.... i always said to myself how underrated she used to be... i am glad to watch this... letterman is the creme de la creme for an artist to become popular in US.... so this is a huge accomplishment for robyn... shake your head till u get dizzy girl.... u gonna fly!

[MissOpinionNation]

@MrGaidzak .. most dont remember her .. she had some big hits several years back. I always hoped she would get big again on this side of the ocean :)

[k0k090]

I must admit i have all the bodytalk stuff downloaded from TDC PLAY on my cell phone, not usually into pop music.

But her brand of electropop is just splendid

[orange20072009]

basically explains my friday night.

[samus1818]

Just discovered Robyn! Love her music!

[jaredigital]

Goosebumps.

[TheLindaOberg]

björn Borg? That's all I got.

[mrchepe91]

i love her power in this performance!!! its so strong and feminine as well. She's amazing!

[vezzlan2]

If eyes could give you an orgasm...

[ABSINTHEKITTY]

does anybody know if robyn sampled that beat from glass candy?

[blindf0ldmeeh]

this is your time robyn....you will blow up in america....i know it =)

[samsamba08]

The summer anthem of 2010. I adore this song. So, so simple - and yet so powerful and touching. She's lovely too.

[eddysacat]

best song I've heard in quite awhile. Best beat ever!

[dracopticon]

With this 80-ish synth-base sound everything sounds so much better - which means YES: she and her group are so much better live!

[MrWowhampe]

i say the same like tobmex!!!!!

[jimgravesus]

Great performance. I love Robyn. I watched her "Cobrastyle" performance on her last Late Night appearance. It seemed like this time she was resisting the kiss on the hand. Maybe she feels different towards him after the sex scandal.

[NekoPetrovsky]

Letterman is a pig. She was unconfortable at the end w him. Still, DANCING on MY OWN is the song of the year ( n 1 or not, who cares??!) and she is amazing live, as usual.

[TheAlexandra2]

shes the best amazing!

[spacedogband]

i heart robyn. it's impossible not to love her

[YazooMusic]

love.

[NikoleKaye]

lol Letterman always kisses her hand after EVERY performance

[paris400]

Flawless!

[producermattpop]

So damn cool...goosebumps.

[HotShotbg]

Robyn has so many great songs!!! :)

[kimokaker]

Oh good lord. I have to watch this like ten times a night lately. "I'm in the corner, why can't you see me"?! What person with senses on full hyper-laser couldn't pick this magic Goddess out across a crowded room with four thousand people in it?! Okay, maybe a lout...or a loutish oaf....She's way too cool and so damn talented.

[Ninjaro]

I'm a rock n rolla and I don't listen to pop, but I have to whisper admitting that I enjoyed this performance... :-)

[flashesofcolor]

i love it - i even bought the album -

[flashesofcolor]

love it!

[totalrandomaccess]

she's kick ass but agree pitchfork over do it. on a lot of stuff.

[snehesten]

I think swedish music has a well deserved image internationally; but Pitchfork, they're just overdoing it

[jesperlett]

@snehesten What/who is Pitchfork? And what do they overdo?

[snehesten]

@jesperlett It's a music webzine, reviews/interviews/music video publications and so on. The overdo thing? Well, they're very keen on reflecting the swedish, norwegian, danish "clean perfect living" (Ikea style?) through the nordic bands they choose to publish on the site.. They're also typically pointing out that the band is Swedish in the first or second sentence of the record review, which almost never happens with a band from like the UK

[Mrrf]

Robyn gets even beater in high definition ;-)

[Flash1959]

Björn Borg, right

[StanleyPacion]

I love the studied body moves; the techno-pop, where are we? I am on the dance floor, whale, dancing on night long, AREA, NYC, back in the day. But the self embrace at the end, very today.

[ampdesign]

the ole swedish make out fakeout @3:45

[indieclock]

@ampdesign hahaha is THAT what they call it !??!

[seeyoo72]

@ampdesign What?

[charnk]

@ampdesign She was making out on her own.

[schandorff666]

@ampdesign yea, we are so alone :) hihi

[Tobmex]

Robyn, great job, you´ve got that feeling....I´m proud to be a Swede when I see this. Real emotions and a true professional performance. Love you!!!

[andenoid]

You are fantastic Robyn!

[nickelasme]

@andenoid

I can just agree .. this beat(s) the most of todays artists :-)
