How incredible was that?! The average person doesn’t even live to the age of 85 let alone show up at the Royal Albert Hall looking gorgeous and perform at nearly the top of their game and win themselves a standing ovation. She is an icon.
WTF is wrong with people? 85 years old, sings great, yet they all sit there and clap like they're at a golf game. Show a little respect, if not appreciation.
85 years old just let that sink in. 85 years old and singing with control and immense vocal power. Her voice at this age is astounding. She has a unique instrument. DSB is a national treasure an ICON. Phenomenal 💞
A song she first sang 51 years ago - BLOODY HELL!!!!! None of your lip-synching or intonation control here. Just the absolute real thing. The grande Dame once again showing the younger generation just EXACTLY how to do it! Thank you Dame Shirley - you are that diamond and your legacy will indeed last forever!
I can still remember hearing "Goldfinger" for the first time when I was a boy, and it was a huge hit on the radio. She can still deliver a thrilling performance.
I was literally brought to tears. I had no idea she was not only still active, but as incredible as ever. A living legend from a time when music was beautiful and class and elegance were celebrated. May God bless her with many more years.🙏❤
Those who criticize a legend, belting one of her signature songs brilliantly at 85 years of age, are maybe the folks not able to hold a note singing in the shower. Dame Shirley Bassey is a unique Superstar.
Many people loose it long before. There is no exact age when this happens. But for 85 Shirley did it very well. It`s not the same than 50 years ago. But for her age it is great. No matter what some weak guys write here in their comments. They should remember that 85 procent are dead with 85.
Phenomenal. She officially retired December 2020. She just performs at special events now but to keep hitting those high notes still requires continued Vocal exercise and preparation. That's the sign of a true professional. Unstoppable Miss Bassey. Longest performing female artist of all time (Hello Guinness book off world records !!)
This just made me cry. An old man watching this truly wonderful artist perform a timeless classic; a beautiful woman whose songs and voice have always just been there for me, an essential part of the soundtrack of my life. God loves you Shirley. 🙏❤️
She has just given a lesson of class, singing, emotion, greatness, and all this at 85 years old. It's was breathtaking, I had goosebumps... Spectacular and the dress was beyond everything 💜
If you haven't seen it, check out her performance at the BAFTAS in 2011 I think it was. She does 'Goldfinger'. Her performance , and the orchestra's, is mind blowing.
I see some people trying to criticize… SMH. Do you understand that she’s freaking 85 years old? This was actually an excellent performance for any age. No matter what flaws, which anybody can have. It was amazing.
I love Dame Shirley Bassey. There is one thing that I noticed in this performance... her vocal range is lower but she held her notes longer. I thought the change-up was just stunning.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHO WOULD DARE CRITICIZE THIS PERFORMANCE???? Sweet mother of god, the woman is fucking eighty-five years old and sounds like perfection.
They should have flown her out to Hollywood to participate in the Bond tribute at the Oscars. She would have brought some class to an otherwise tasteless endeavor.
She is FANTASTIC even at 85...!!! Such an elegant classy woman with a rich powerful gifted voice. That she took care of after all these years performing. Thank you Dame Shirley your truly one of a kind. A true diamond that lasts forever.
My God what an absolute phenomenon this woman is! To be able to sing like that at 85 with barely a flutter. Is there nothing on this Earth that can stop Dame Shirley? I hope not!
While she's remarkable for 85, her voice is not the same as it was a half-century ago. She's singing lower and has to slide up into the high notes, but still quite amazing for her age.
I was surprised that I got chills listening to this performance. I think it was a combination of the song and nostalgia growing up with the James Bond movies either in the theater or on TV.
The GREAT Shirley Bassey ♥ as my dear old dad would say ...I grew up listening to her LPs as a girl in the 70's and 80's ...her voice incomparable...to think she's outlived 2 of the OO7's and STILL has mastery of her voice at this level...sublime indeed 🥰🎶🇬🇧🇦🇺
Listen to Tom Jones, he is 82 and still sings damn good. It's an exception, but not impossible. You need good vocal technique and vocal hygiene, and a good physical fitness level.
I think she is the most classiest Dame I've ever seen in my life she is a lovely star 🌟 and will always shine bright her talent never fails her even at this age , a few wobbles perhaps but its still there I love this lady long live our Shirley Bassey ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💗
No words!Like to see any of the stars today even make it to 85 and still be singing let alone without technical aid. Broke the mold when they made our Shirley.
Stone-cold legend right there. 85 and her voice can still fill an auditorium with remarkable range. How many female vocalists maintain that quality at that age? None that I can think of. Not in a live performance like this. She still looks amazing too. This has to be one of her favorite performances of all time.
85 & still got it.. the inimitable, brilliant & simply fantastic Dame Shirley Bassey.. this is what an absolute legend looks like..& the voice still strong, still powerful..truly magnificent:-)

Amen 💖💖💖
amazing!!

WTF is wrong with people? 85 years old, sings great, yet they all sit there and clap like they're at a golf game. Show a little respect, if not appreciation.
The average person DOES live to the age of 85, I believe. At least in developed countries.
She didn't have an easy life either,but blessed with talent.
And THAT is how it’s done, ladies and gentlemen…
Holy Fuck - 85 years old and she sings like that? I'm stunned.
Yup she's that damn gifted. And shows how well she took care of her voice over the years. A consummate professional.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how you sing a James Bond title song!
This. And at 85. Jeez
85 years old just let that sink in. 85 years old and singing with control and immense vocal power. Her voice at this age is astounding. She has a unique instrument. DSB is a national treasure an ICON. Phenomenal 💞
Id be lucky to be able to speak coherent sentences
NO AUTO TUNE
NO BACK UP SINGER
85 YEARS OF AGE
DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY
THE LEGENDARY
Music royalty.
Sometimes I feel there's no words to describe this phenomenon I'm blown the fk away ❤🎉
shes miming !!! shes missed her cue really early on lol
magnificent
She's 85 and still brilliant, how's your grandma anyway?@@rickyred001
So much respect. Listen to that voice at the age of 85. Incredible diva...forever forever forever
how she is able to sing these songs this way at 85 is something that I never thought possible. Absolutely incredible!!
She is amazing I saw her in Sydney Australia ❤
She may be 85 but her voice is just as clear & powerful as ever. May she continue to give us the gift of her voice for many years to come.💜💜💜💜
Is she really 85? God damn, this is amazing.
A song she first sang 51 years ago - BLOODY HELL!!!!! None of your lip-synching or intonation control here. Just the absolute real thing. The grande Dame once again showing the younger generation just EXACTLY how to do it! Thank you Dame Shirley - you are that diamond and your legacy will indeed last forever!
Completely agree. This is a masterclass.
I can still remember hearing "Goldfinger" for the first time when I was a boy, and it was a huge hit on the radio. She can still deliver a thrilling performance.
Yes! She deserves all those applause & adulation... & more...!!!
... She's truly awesome...!!! Love her...!!! 🧡 👏 🎵 🎧 🏆
Amen
sung in the same key as 1987.. I know it is not exactly a high key but just saying DSB could have knocked it down a key had she needed to.
I was literally brought to tears. I had no idea she was not only still active, but as incredible as ever. A living legend from a time when music was beautiful and class and elegance were celebrated. May God bless her with many more years.🙏❤
She HAS the range honey...
🤣👌
She has to be the best female singer ever to be born in the UK. Unbelievable.
Welsh you mean.
@@tgm250 No. I mean, in the UK. Wales is a very small part of the UK. Don't tell me what you think I should say.
Wales 🏴 is rest of world,
@@sahej6939 Wales is practically third world.
@@tgm250 Sorry man, Nigerian Father and a Yorkshire Mother..... No Welsh blood at all, just born there.... More Yorkshire than Welsh..... !!!

Iconic. New generation please sit down.
An absolute living legend. we will never see her like again.
People loose their voices when they age but at 85 .. come on guys this is fantastic 🇿🇦❤️
LOSE.
Many people loose it long before. There is no exact age when this happens. But for 85 Shirley did it very well. It`s not the same than 50 years ago. But for her age it is great. No matter what some weak guys write here in their comments. They should remember that 85 procent are dead with 85.
You only lose your voice when you sing the way they do today with all the screaming. She doesn't scream when she sings.
@@lettiegrant9447 The loss of voice has to do with the age and not with someones screaming.
@@alberteisenmann1023 It’s LOSE not “loose”
85 years old!!! AMAZING
That sparkle in her eyes, that tilt of the head, that body movement and that voice!!!! Dame right!!!!!
Phenomenal.
She officially retired December 2020.
She just performs at special events now but to keep hitting those high notes still requires continued Vocal exercise and preparation.
That's the sign of a true professional.
Unstoppable Miss Bassey.
Longest performing female artist of all time (Hello Guinness book off world records !!)
This lady is the definition of amazing.
Absolutely!
BEYOND!
She is the definition of so many wonderful and beautiful things ✨️ 💕 💛 💖 💗 ❤️
Still beautiful. Still elegant. Still a diva. Her voice is still unbelievable.

AMAZING SINGER DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY AND POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL GOLDEN VOICE I LOVED GREAT LADY
She has just given a lesson of class, singing, emotion, greatness, and all this at 85 years old.
It's was breathtaking, I had goosebumps...
Spectacular and the dress was beyond everything 💜
If you haven't seen it, check out her performance at the BAFTAS in 2011 I think it was. She does 'Goldfinger'. Her performance , and the orchestra's, is mind blowing.
Yes her best performance of Diamonds and Goldfinger ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Remarkable Career
Best Singer of our generation
Don’t know how Dame Shirley does it suffice to say she’s positively Brilliant
Toronto Ontario Canada
Without a doubt
There’s only one Shirley. We will never see her like again.
Pure gold never fades away.., just keeps glowing 🌟
Such a star! 87 now and still going strong. Love her ♥️
I chose wisely; simply TheBestSinger I have ever heard!
I see some people trying to criticize… SMH. Do you understand that she’s freaking 85 years old? This was actually an excellent performance for any age. No matter what flaws, which anybody can have. It was amazing.
I don't really see anyone criticizing. They are deaf, whomever it is. She still has her chest voice, at 85 years old. This is RARE
Who is criticizing her? So far looks like you're the only one suffering from AGEISM is.... YOU!
I love Dame Shirley Bassey. There is one thing that I noticed in this performance... her vocal range is lower but she held her notes longer. I thought the change-up was just stunning.
Flaws show a performance is live and real. Rather have that than performances which are autotuned to death or, even worse, lip synched.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHO WOULD DARE CRITICIZE THIS PERFORMANCE???? Sweet mother of god, the woman is fucking eighty-five years old and sounds like perfection.
85 years old. WOW 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
She's 85!!! OUTSTANDING!!
tears running like a waterfall .. such a grace, voice.. She is the biggest diamond of all....... shine for us for decades to come!!
WOW! Lift my hat She still got it damn unique Ms Bassey!
They should have flown her out to Hollywood to participate in the Bond tribute at the Oscars. She would have brought some class to an otherwise tasteless endeavor.
Sometimes over a certain age, plane trips aren’t a good idea, let alone transatlantic flights.
Dame Shirley Bassey you can never go wrong
While father time is snatching these old dolls throats Ms. Bassey is standing strong voice is still powerful
Dame Shirley Bassey is FOREVER!!! LOVE HER!!! God Bless her, she sounds amazing.
She is FANTASTIC even at 85...!!! Such an elegant classy woman with a rich powerful gifted voice. That she took care of after all these years performing. Thank you Dame Shirley your truly one of a kind. A true diamond that lasts forever.
she will be that way at 105
To hit these notes at 85 is quite amazing.
She works relentlessly on her breathing. A real force of nature as well. To be belting it out with that much power is miraculous.
My God what an absolute phenomenon this woman is! To be able to sing like that at 85 with barely a flutter. Is there nothing on this Earth that can stop Dame Shirley? I hope not!
Such an Icon and still looking and sounding great. I did get to see her live at an outdoor event and she was totally amazing.
Simply amazon!
At the age of 85 she still has a voice like when she was 34 and performed the song for the 1st time.
SHES OUTSTANDING! !
No she doesn't has that 34yr voice, but she is still phenomenal, great performance, love the Dame.
Stop lying already!
While she's remarkable for 85, her voice is not the same as it was a half-century ago. She's singing lower and has to slide up into the high notes, but still quite amazing for her age.
Shirley is a. Beauty and full of talent
Incredible 85 years...the indestructible unique wonderful Dame Shirley Bassey
I saw her show in 1974. She still sounds amazing. Thank you Dame Shirley... Your diamonds are forever.
The Legend….. 85 yo…. So magical
Doesn’t she look beautiful. A true performer and great artist. I’ve loved you for forever. Beautiful.
Wow wow wow wow and Wow Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey!!!
Now shes 87...87 years young! WOW!
I was surprised that I got chills listening to this performance. I think it was a combination of the song and nostalgia growing up with the James Bond movies either in the theater or on TV.
Wow.. So powerful, even at her age..
The Dame still blow off the roof of that stage at her 85; as she only can..! with her powerfull voice and dazzling personality.
Grandissima... Non ci sono parole... Grandissima... Non dovrebbe morire mai!!!!!
She has taken care of herself and her instrument. Continued blessings. Brava!
What a legend! A real artist❤
Dame Shirley Bassey: Style,grace,kindness and a exceptionally good voice.
Her voice has not changed, the incredible Ms Shirley Bassey
A true legend, incredible voice.
One LIVING LEGEND on stage! Simply HISTORICAL Singer.
She’s still in her prime ❤️
Shirley puts that rich golden touch on Bond movies. And she can still sing wonderfully she is still beautiful.
The GREAT Shirley Bassey ♥ as my dear old dad would say ...I grew up listening to her LPs as a girl in the 70's and 80's ...her voice incomparable...to think she's outlived 2 of the OO7's and STILL has mastery of her voice at this level...sublime indeed 🥰🎶🇬🇧🇦🇺
Brilliant Shirley top woman 👍👍👍
You cannot have that vocal prowess at 85. Golly! 🥰🥰🥰
These singers today won't have it. They scream too much.
Listen to Tom Jones, he is 82 and still sings damn good. It's an exception, but not impossible. You need good vocal technique and vocal hygiene, and a good physical fitness level.
85 man how way she is better than the majority of our current 'singers' and she looks absolutely amazing and classy x
I think she is the most classiest Dame I've ever seen in my life she is a lovely star 🌟 and will always shine bright her talent never fails her even at this age , a few wobbles perhaps but its still there I love this lady long live our Shirley Bassey ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💗
My fav Bond song
No words!Like to see any of the stars today even make it to 85 and still be singing let alone without technical aid.

Petula clark but that is it.
Well her looks look a little - let's call it beautified.
@@gabrieleschulze7627 good for her then
Miss Bassey still has THE voice! Incredible! Fabulous, stunning, dynamic woman!
Still the best female singer of all time!
Loving how this gorgeous gown feels like an extension of the song.
Flawless!!
💎💎💎💎💎

What else can you say other than fabulous Grand Diva Dame Shirley Bassey!! Love Dame Shirley Bassey Forever!!
Shirley Bassey will always be one of the most powerful! phenomenal! singers in the world!!🌹👑🎼🔥
B-R-A-V-O!!!!
No one sings like this at her age, 86, it’s just FENOMENAL. No words❤️🔥
Her voice is in such fantastic shape. Those upper notes ring and sparkle just as in the original recording... Incredible!
Now that is musical CLASS. Fabulous Dame Shirley.
