Some haters on here, she's 17, writes her own songs and produces most of her own beats, i'm sure all of you haters can match up to those accomplishments
Lmao produces her own beats? See this has set the standard of laziness in music! Fucking pathetic how bout buy a drum set and actually learn how to play the damn set instead of having a drum interface simulating ginger snaps and hi hats. I’ve watched street musicians with waaayyy more talent then this Amy wine house wannabe. Call it what is a corporate concoction of a keyboardist hitting certain keys to imitate a choir and a dude with a drum pad and a drugged out teenager. That’s why in 2019 she’s almost nonexistent now
Yes, and I think that's because stupid people like to make fun of what they don't understand, they (try to) laugh of those people they will never be able to be.
Clorox Tampons Umm. Yeah. I am a fabulous motherfucking unicorn disguised as a human. I'm gonna destroy the planet along with my good friend, Rudolph. Did you hear that before?
I was always just thought that was her dancing, her movement into the song. She truly feels what happens and i think it, and her especially, are beautiful. The sheer emotion into every syllable is astounding
Oh no! a singer who dares to be different with her music and the way she moves on stage , lets all call her weird , psycho , creepy or drunk. She is just feeling the music guys.
I like her. She's not afraid to be different and even if with all the unnecessary, unwarranted hate, she doesn't try to change herself or her style. She's brave. A lot of people can't do that.
Can somebody explain why this girl has so many haters? I came by chance to this tune about two weeks ago hearing a Brother Strut cover (my favorite) and then heard the original. Not my cup of tea, but, to be honest i am really surprised the quantity of hate comments rather than natural comments. Why is it different with her?
Do you see what I'm saying? Criticism only invites more criticism! Dysfunction can only lead to further dysfunction. I like to appreciate anything and everything that people create with the intention of bringing joy to others. I wish that more people would feel this way. Don't you?!
Every human has haters. Not just music artists. There are simply people that look for things to hate or disagree with. And as I was saying, they will always be able to find something among all of the imperfect things that can be criticized. Again, everything and everyone can be criticized. That's easy. That's what lazy people do. They do what's easiest. However, that's their own dysfunction. That's what others can criticize about them. Ergo, "judge not, lest ye be judged". I'm just say'in...
Well my brother who learns music said it helps when singing, like e.g. Mariah Carey uses her fingers up and down. It helps to control the voice by 'connecting' to something physical, like your hands..idk I think that's what he said. GO LORDE!
I love this version. I've heard the studio produced version, and thought it was good. But this version is great - raw, real, gritty. Those who say she can't sing or comment on her not looking like some idealised "sex-symbol" seem to be missing the whole point of who she is and what she stands for. Haters gonna hate. Sad little people who never lived their dreams and have ended up bitter.
Lorde is so amazing. I love how she doesn't care about how she looks when she sings (and you shouldn't either because it's really about how she sounds, something majority of the artist these days lack) and she simply sounds amazing. She's a wonderful girl and the fact that she's Croatian makes me love her even more. Keep being amazing girlyy
Yes LORDE you where my child hood. Nowadays all these singers are focused on how people them. Lorde does not give a crap. That’s why I love her. That’s why she was inspirational for me as a kid.
I hate that people are ridiculing her for her hand movements and looks. Movement during preforming music is common with most passionate musicians, its the creative side of the brain taking over, they can truly 'feel' the music! It shows that they aren't holding themselves back! and so what she has pale legs, (the lighting isnt perfect in some angles which doesn't help) just because she hasn't dived into a pool of fake tan like the majority these days, you should respect the fact she is comfortable in her own skin. We'e all entitled to our own opinion, this is mine. if yours is constructive do everyone a favor, and keep it to yourself! Rant over. Thanks for your time. I don't know why you're still reading this ;) Byeeee :DD
he did a great deal of movements on the keyboard I was astonished to listen and see such tallent player .. I feel how much he is tired after having such hard piece of music .. What a flair.
She’s not weird, she’s acting that way to judge her voice, she’s moving her hands because it helps her with her voice, so that’s why her voice is just amazing
everyone who is hating, just shut up, she doesn't use autotune in the studio and when she's performing live, this is how she wants it. she changes the way she sings any song live. she can hit the notes perfectly if she wanted to and she doesn't have elipsy or seizures, it's just her way of dancing around to the music, just accept it. she even said that she dances around like gollum in one of her vevo lift videos and she's almost embarrassed about it. her mum (sonja yelich) would call you all disgusting for saying that. if you don't have anything nice to say, shut up. ella (lorde) is dealing with death threats and people dissing her every single day. would you like it if random people were giving you death threats and disses each day? no, i don't think so, so shut up.
I love listening to music after everyone else has gone on to other stuff. It's like I have it all to myself. This is the first time I actually listen to this song. It's a different kind of buzz.
Her singing live voice is not that different from her recorded singing voice-which is amazing. That means they don’t layer too many effects on her recorded voice. It’s close to being authentic.
I like her because of her strange essence. It's creepy and different. I feel like she's being pure and feeling the music rather than performing it. Yeah obviously there's better singers out there but there's something dark and mesmerizing about the way she performs. I can't be one of you haters.

I enjoy the music. Song. As far as s as any agenda with others as far as she goes. That’s for her to do. I just don’t play in. On any level. This is a great song. Shes stellar.
The first mainstream artist to come out and be downright WEIRD and original in these last years. Let the hate flow. You got lots of people confused and fucking stumped because of your "little twitches" and your hand movements, keep going. They can't tolerate anythin that's not your generic pop artist.
kajo H You sir have earned a place in my small council of gentlemen. Just wait until economy collapses and we take over the world and put Hicks and George Carlin on every TV channel.
kajo H No idea who that is. I'm usually into metal and alternative stuff but a man's gotta give a listen to all kinds of music. So maybe i'll check that out
McKenna was a philosopher, and a psychonaut. He talked about psychedelics and the changing times. Hicks was a McKenna listener. I remember hearing him mention Mckenna in his last routine he did before passing. McKenna coined the term "Hero Dose" referring to the amount of mushrooms it takes to get a full fledged internal experience. Any Hicks/Carlin fan should give him a listen. I know you've got to be a Tool fan. Lorde is out of usual for me as well. Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, A Perfect Circle, Tool, etc are my usual. But when I first heard Royals I was an instant Lorde fan. I've listened to her non stop for over a year now. If you like Psychedelic music give Ultimate Spinach a listen. Their early stuff is best.
As I've said on many of her live performances: Her movements are not pointless. Every singer or general musician has a habit formed in order to keep in time/feel their music, even if only for specific songs. People tap their toes, nod their heads, snap their fingers, which the average person would probably consider "keeping it simple," but other musicians "go crazy"; some, like Gaga, have 'convulsions' during piano music, people ball their hands into fists, throw their heads back, etc.. Kelly Rowland used to do a lot with her hands especially back in Destiny's Child days, and I didn't see many people saying she was on crack for doing so. From what I've seen in many of her performances, Lorde just has a habit of clawing her hands and popping her arms to keep the beat and feel her own song. Notice that said 'convulsions', 'prayers to Satan', 'heroin reactions', etc., have no negative effect on her singing. If you are an actual singer, whether it be pop, rock, choir, alternative, anything . . . you should know what I'm talking about. You should also remember that she isn't an American girl! What did you expect, for her to stand there, feet together, hands folded, staring straight ahead, making not one facial expression, just so she can look to us judgemental people that she's not "misusing drugs"? Someone could come from like, Botswana, and think that we're crazy witch doctors for tapping our toes. Her singing is perfectly fine; it wasn't meant to sound like the typical American pop song, which is why it's also on our Alternative charts, but that really doesn't mean you just have to throw out insults because of it.
Well. Seeing as I've pretty much completely shot down the assumption that she's on drugs for any LOGICAL reasons, people now want to say she's on drugs because of her album title, which is based on the feminine form of the word HERO. It is extremely unlikely that she named her album after an illegal drug; even if she did for some reason, if she was trying to be punny, I highly doubt that she's doing said drugs, as her mother travels on tour with her. What if I said One Direction is called One Direction because their sexual interest points in one direction, and that's toward other men? I may not like One Direction, but that doesn't mean I believe they're all gay. That is a very prejudice comment, and it also sounds just as stupid.
This young woman has the INNER STRENGTH to SING on her own and not stop it - like ADELLE - she is not even my generations music (Im 38) this young woman is incredible. Lorde. I have a lot of love for Lorde and I dont think she cares either way LETS ROCK!!
Her motions do seem odd until you realize that they mimic the vibe of the lyrics. I thought she was very quirky until I noticed this - now not so quirky to me. Unique. Being different is refreshing in a world where everyone wants to just blend in to avoid ridicule. Nice. Love the song - and this live recording is by far the best version of the song I have heard from her - live or studio recorded.
People keep saying that she "didn't hit any of the notes". You can't do a song like this live and have it sound exactly like the original. This was a different arrangement of the song. It wasn't supposed to sound like the radio version. She hit different notes on purpose.
I must say her singing style is very unique and different, I like it though! I first thought she was having a few small seizures when she sang, "And we'll never be Royals..." But then I decided to have fun with it and pretend she was signaling planes or doing magic! :D
A lot of people are hating on her for dancing differently but as a musical artist myself I understand she is just moving the way that the music tells her to

Ikr OMG bro
OMG she's 17😱
They wish they were more like her. When I was her age I had no idea were I was going in life. She could be doing worse things.
Lmao produces her own beats? See this has set the standard of laziness in music! Fucking pathetic how bout buy a drum set and actually learn how to play the damn set instead of having a drum interface simulating ginger snaps and hi hats.

Dennis Brown huh, only you who think shes nonexisted
Yah yah yah, I am lorde
Yah Yah Yah Help me unload the car.Yah Yah Yah
The only reason i came here-
Uh yeah flick that bean yeah
My clitoris is sooos big- south park
Hahahahhahaha
Omg wow
Not only is she unique,but when you are singing your own material. Thats top notch unique.
She's not weird, she is just being herself. Everything that is different causes strangeness in people's mind.
Agreed.
I like people who are different. And I think being weird is fun everyone calls me wierd and I love it 😂
Yes, and I think that's because stupid people like to make fun of what they don't understand, they (try to) laugh of those people they will never be able to be.
Yea Just Like AURORA
doesn't change the fact that she looks like she's having a seizure, if I saw someone doing that out in the world, I'd be slightly worried
She's not weird or high. She's just feeling the music.
Clorox Tampons Not funny...
are you butthurt
Clorox Tampons Nah, your joke is just stupid.
Mhm, anything else I haven't heard before you would like to say?
Clorox Tampons Umm. Yeah. I am a fabulous motherfucking unicorn disguised as a human. I'm gonna destroy the planet along with my good friend, Rudolph. Did you hear that before?
I'm 61, and I could listen to it on a loop. She is just simply unique.

alkhall123 lmaooo
Can we talk how good she sings live ?
no i cant
hell noo
She cannot sing. :)
Grinsekatze she can sing and i bet better than you
Yasmin Kais No, I am a trained singer. A little bit I know about right singing. I don't have to be better to criticize her but I have to say: I am.
One of the best songs of the last decade. I’m a metal fan but this song (and the album) grab me from the first second.
Mate listen to the cover that the Strokes do of this song, its frigging amazing
AMERICANS REOSECT NO MATTER WHAT THE FOAVOR. Unlike the STARRING / WEIRD Europeans!
I was always just thought that was her dancing, her movement into the song. She truly feels what happens and i think it, and her especially, are beautiful. The sheer emotion into every syllable is astounding
well said
She high bro
Yagmur Asdf she’s not.
@@yagmurasdf3058 ur high if you say this
@@aquariusforever3437 I am, so is she

Thanx ***** ,, I thought you were being a hater, lol,, but I was wrong, take care,,,
Dad, lorde’s music is actually really good!

Thanks
Oh no! a singer who dares to be different with her music and the way she moves on stage , lets all call her weird , psycho , creepy or drunk. She is just feeling the music guys.
lol , agreed!. Got a different "style" , reminds me of maynard. amos. apple. different.
Exactly. It's nice to see someone being different.
I think it's amazing someone that young had/has enough confidence to be that different.
Is this a game
is this a game
I like her. She's not afraid to be different and even if with all the unnecessary, unwarranted hate, she doesn't try to change herself or her style. She's brave. A lot of people can't do that.
One of the coolest songs I've ever heard!

Not my cup of tea, but, to be honest i am really surprised the quantity of hate comments rather than natural comments. Why is it different with her?
Because people are jealous
I'm not sure but she criticised Lana Del Rey.
Do you see what I'm saying? Criticism only invites more criticism! Dysfunction can only lead to further dysfunction. I like to appreciate anything and everything that people create with the intention of bringing joy to others. I wish that more people would feel this way. Don't you?!

I reckon it's because she so different from other artists and people aren't used
To different.
But different is good
I'm obsessed with watching videos of her perform live. She's so unique! I love her motions and how she gets into the song
She's a very talented artist 💗
It is 10 years later. How do you feel now? I only heard this for the first time within the last month. I feel the same vibe you did 10 years ago. lol
How many of us 60 year olds listen to this at least once a month, I do😎
67 YRS OLD OH YA

It’s not hate. I would love to hear Adele sing this song
Can we talk about how good she was and STILL is.. I mean she was only 17 here 🥳❤️

Great!
I love her voice, songs, outfit and her curly hair. She's amazing♥
every blossom so deep ...
There’s something uniquely wonderful about this song. I’ve always liked it.
I love how she is herself she is so talented and does not deserve the amount of hate she gets 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Jealousy
damn that keyboard player has some crazy skills!
he did a great deal of movements on the keyboard I was astonished to listen and see such tallent player .. I feel how much he is tired after having such hard piece of music .. What a flair.
I taught my dog to play the same thing.
😂😂😂👍
She’s not weird, she’s acting that way to judge her voice, she’s moving her hands because it helps her with her voice, so that’s why her voice is just amazing
I do the same when I sing. I can’t help it!
She have synesthesia where she can experience the music on a higher level than us normies, pretty cool condition.
Going through my daily listen of Lorde, praying we'll one day be graced with more music.
I like her witch claws during her performance. Fit her songs so well!!!! Love her voice!
2024, and this song still rings true. Great songwriter and singer!!!
Its amazing. Its passion, talent and honesty all rolled up into one performance. Such a refreshing combination, way to go Lorde!
she's amazing , everybody who's made it in the industry is crazy. they need to be...
she gets so into the music, it's great. she moves with it.
everyone who is hating, just shut up, she doesn't use autotune in the studio and when she's performing live, this is how she wants it. she changes the way she sings any song live. she can hit the notes perfectly if she wanted to and she doesn't have elipsy or seizures, it's just her way of dancing around to the music, just accept it. she even said that she dances around like gollum in one of her vevo lift videos and she's almost embarrassed about it. her mum (sonja yelich) would call you all disgusting for saying that. if you don't have anything nice to say, shut up. ella (lorde) is dealing with death threats and people dissing her every single day. would you like it if random people were giving you death threats and disses each day? no, i don't think so, so shut up.
I love listening to music after everyone else has gone on to other stuff. It's like I have it all to myself. This is the first time I actually listen to this song. It's a different kind of buzz.
She's a doll baby ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her singing live voice is not that different from her recorded singing voice-which is amazing. That means they don’t layer too many effects on her recorded voice. It’s close to being authentic.
Its identical. Same mild effects, not leaning on reverb or autotune
Huh it’s a big difference
@@Boss2164 you're high.
This is so good! No auto tune shit in sight!
It's just legend. A song that fits a legitimate emotional groove
She signs well one thing I like from her is that she signs live she's a genuine artist apart she's beautiful
Im mesmerized by her live versions when she was younger
She into the music & the beat, on point timing!
She's amazing!!! This song and her voice,simply beautiful!!
I like her because of her strange essence. It's creepy and different. I feel like she's being pure and feeling the music rather than performing it. Yeah obviously there's better singers out there but there's something dark and mesmerizing about the way she performs. I can't be one of you haters.
Beautifully written, composed and sung. Bravo!! I love this song.
Singing and feeling every lyric and melody.
Perfect performance.
Lyrics
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In a torn up town, no postcode envy
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money
But every song's like
Gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care
We're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby, I'll rule (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
She wrote the lyric's and music when she was 16 years old.
My god, the bass is unbelievable and fabulous.
She is truly an Angel!!
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
But every song's like gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Bloodstains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

(Ooh ooh oh)
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler, you can call me Queen B
And baby I'll rule (I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule)
Let me live that fantasy
Got to see her years back in NYC. She was awesome. Different, unique in her own way. Especially her dancing.
I want this lady to have made a million bucks off this song, it's that good.
O she did that's for sure she is worth 15 million
I kinda really like her voice..She's super simple (Y) Welldone LORDE!!!!
I enjoy the music. Song. As far as s as any agenda with others as far as she goes. That’s for her to do. I just don’t play in. On any level. This is a great song. Shes stellar.
She definitely can sing and has a unique voice and singing style.
This is one of the best songs of the 21st century.
It is actually #35 of all time according to Rolling Stone. 35!!!!!!
@@rubyjeanne1667 that's what I like to hear!
Great live version. Awesome!
Great Song!!
I love you Randy, you're awesome!
Every time I watch these I'm more impressed.
I think she's just weird, instead of high.
Awesomely weird.
perfectly right
shut up,shes enjoying the music
@@rickastleysmicrophone7544 read his "Awesomely weird" comment at the end again please and respond again :)
Shut the f up I
@Frank Lopez ok, but at least marron 5 is good
The first mainstream artist to come out and be downright WEIRD and original in these last years.
Let the hate flow. You got lots of people confused and fucking stumped because of your "little twitches" and your hand movements, keep going. They can't tolerate anythin that's not your generic pop artist.
***** PREACH
kajo H You sir have earned a place in my small council of gentlemen. Just wait until economy collapses and we take over the world and put Hicks and George Carlin on every TV channel.
***** Sounds good. As long as we throw in a few Lorde vids too, you can count me in. You ever listen to Terence McKenna's stuff on youtube?
kajo H No idea who that is. I'm usually into metal and alternative stuff but a man's gotta give a listen to all kinds of music.
So maybe i'll check that out
McKenna was a philosopher, and a psychonaut. He talked about psychedelics and the changing times. Hicks was a McKenna listener. I remember hearing him mention Mckenna in his last routine he did before passing. McKenna coined the term "Hero Dose" referring to the amount of mushrooms it takes to get a full fledged internal experience. Any Hicks/Carlin fan should give him a listen.
I know you've got to be a Tool fan. Lorde is out of usual for me as well. Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, A Perfect Circle, Tool, etc are my usual. But when I first heard Royals I was an instant Lorde fan. I've listened to her non stop for over a year now. If you like Psychedelic music give Ultimate Spinach a listen. Their early stuff is best.
These guys are the best!!!! Freaking love em. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I absolutely love the fact that she is just being herself, everyone that says she's high or something must be afraid of living outside that 📺🔲
@Michael Myers hell yea being yourself is cool, and your comparisons are terrible.
@Michael Myers also she's singing...... singing
you reached Mike but all for none
As I've said on many of her live performances:
Her movements are not pointless. Every singer or general musician has a habit formed in order to keep in time/feel their music, even if only for specific songs. People tap their toes, nod their heads, snap their fingers, which the average person would probably consider "keeping it simple," but other musicians "go crazy"; some, like Gaga, have 'convulsions' during piano music, people ball their hands into fists, throw their heads back, etc.. Kelly Rowland used to do a lot with her hands especially back in Destiny's Child days, and I didn't see many people saying she was on crack for doing so. From what I've seen in many of her performances, Lorde just has a habit of clawing her hands and popping her arms to keep the beat and feel her own song. Notice that said 'convulsions', 'prayers to Satan', 'heroin reactions', etc., have no negative effect on her singing. If you are an actual singer, whether it be pop, rock, choir, alternative, anything . . . you should know what I'm talking about.
You should also remember that she isn't an American girl! What did you expect, for her to stand there, feet together, hands folded, staring straight ahead, making not one facial expression, just so she can look to us judgemental people that she's not "misusing drugs"? Someone could come from like, Botswana, and think that we're crazy witch doctors for tapping our toes.
Her singing is perfectly fine; it wasn't meant to sound like the typical American pop song, which is why it's also on our Alternative charts, but that really doesn't mean you just have to throw out insults because of it.
Her album is called pure heroine, i think she took it before her performance...
Well. Seeing as I've pretty much completely shot down the assumption that she's on drugs for any LOGICAL reasons, people now want to say she's on drugs because of her album title, which is based on the feminine form of the word HERO. It is extremely unlikely that she named her album after an illegal drug; even if she did for some reason, if she was trying to be punny, I highly doubt that she's doing said drugs, as her mother travels on tour with her. What if I said One Direction is called One Direction because their sexual interest points in one direction, and that's toward other men? I may not like One Direction, but that doesn't mean I believe they're all gay. That is a very prejudice comment, and it also sounds just as stupid.
This young woman has the INNER STRENGTH to SING on her own and not stop it - like ADELLE - she is not even my generations music (Im 38) this young woman is incredible. Lorde. I have a lot of love for Lorde and I dont think she cares either way LETS ROCK!!
This live will be my favorite forever. She is so strong and secure! ♥
She's 500% beautiful
Let her live that fantasy!!!!!!
damn, her voice is so cool, you can't really hear it in the official song nearly as much
th-cam.com/video/v8kEXlD-03E/w-d-xo.html
a true artist !!!!!
ça veut dire quoi ?
She was quite literally too ahead of her time for people to "get" her. A true artist ❤️🔥
Lorde is Beatiful
She is so underrated
No, you're wrong. She's a grammy winner
lmao NO
I see, she's living this song...and feel this song!!! Today it's rare !!!!!
Her motions do seem odd until you realize that they mimic the vibe of the lyrics. I thought she was very quirky until I noticed this - now not so quirky to me. Unique. Being different is refreshing in a world where everyone wants to just blend in to avoid ridicule. Nice.
Love the song - and this live recording is by far the best version of the song I have heard from her - live or studio recorded.
Very well done! She is feeling the song!!
OMG I love this song! This lady is amazing, she is a goddess.
She's amazing and not a copy of all the singers now, she has her style and a different voice which is interesting too
She's so talented
Her being so obviously into the song is mesmerizing. Great expressiveness
People keep saying that she "didn't hit any of the notes". You can't do a song like this live and have it sound exactly like the original. This was a different arrangement of the song. It wasn't supposed to sound like the radio version. She hit different notes on purpose.
I must say her singing style is very unique and different, I like it though! I first thought she was having a few small seizures when she sang, "And we'll never be Royals..." But then I decided to have fun with it and pretend she was signaling planes or doing magic! :D
Yah yah yah I am lorde yah yah yah lordey lorde I am lorde yah yah yah
Royals.... my favorite music
True...Her movements are super wierd,but they make her unique
wow ,,I luv her voice!
Nejhezčí žena na planetě ❤❤❤
AMO ESTA CANCIÓN ...
Te recomiendo Tennis Court y Team , son buenisimas o Glory and Gore c:
I love her 2019
her voice.....Hauntingly Perfection!
Realmente canta increible
si pero es un poco espeluznante..lol
pero bueno me gusta mucho su voz pero su actitud no es muy conveniente para ella
Triada35 su voz está súper retocada
pablo sepulveda pero suena igual que la version estudio
Triada35 No soy fan de Lorde, pero su voz es realmente muy buena
LQQK ! it's a real singer.
she's actually kind of terrible live.
very inaccurate notes...
nice voice though.
Adam McClendon She's very good live.
YOu're just stiff and cannot open up to the imperfections of the live experience yet. Hopefully in time tho
Adam McClendon still better than many others ;)
tru
Biggest Singer! I love so much this lyrics!!
How the fuck can people call her ugly, she really isn't haha
She hot af lol
Exactly
Love you Randy :>
A lot of people are hating on her for dancing differently but as a musical artist myself I understand she is just moving the way that the music tells her to
Im fucking loving it
