- On Sunday the 13th of March 2022, Dame Shirley opened the BAFTA awards with a spine-tingling rendition of one of her most beloved Bond songs, Diamonds Are Forever. This is the first time Dame Shirley had appeared live on the British stage since 2019 (When she last sang with Alfie Boe and Michael Ball). At 85 years young, she proved that she HAS STILL GOT IT! She demonstrated such amazing control over her voice and showed that she still has her upper register intact! This performance is truly such a treat. Please enjoy!
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.
Amen 💖💖💖
amazing!!
she first sang that in the albert 50 years ago im so happy to have had this come on ytube love this girl
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…
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
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
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..... !!!
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.
At 85, her voice may be even more forever than diamonds. Shirley Bassey is grand in every sense that word conjures. Brava!!!
So much respect. Listen to that voice at the age of 85. Incredible diva...forever forever forever
Iconic. New generation please sit down.
i’m sat
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.
Is she really 85? God damn, this is amazing.
She HAS the range honey...
🤣👌
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.💜💜💜💜
An absolute living legend. we will never see her like again.
She is amazing I saw her in Sydney Australia ❤
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.🙏❤
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”
They will never be like another like her.
Never be another star like her
Dame Shirley Bassey everyone. On behalf of humanity, we thank you Dame for blessing us
how she is able to sing these songs this way at 85 is something that I never thought possible. Absolutely incredible!!
there should be a law made that only Shirley Bassey is allowed to sing the Bond songs. Incredible.
That sparkle in her eyes, that tilt of the head, that body movement and that voice!!!! Dame right!!!!!
Brings tears to the eyes, love her, amazing voice, what a talent even at her age.
So good to hear her at her age.. Such a class
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. 🙏❤️
Me too. So much emotion
@Mercyme57-youre not alone, watching this performance I couldn't help but to be moved to tears😭
I'm lost in a trance watching this ❤🎉😊
Is she a vampire? She is ageless and still excellent in singng! Nothis has changed! She is still the best!
WOW!! At 85 she still possess that robust and developed chest voice… I am astounded!
Even Dame Shirley’s speaking voice is glorious to listen to. I think she is simply the best singer to ever come out of Britain. How rewarding must it be for her to still get that deserved reaction. She has been at the top of her game her whole career. She is a diva, an icon, a legend.
wow she is still here doing that song amazing a real BOND GIRL
MAGNIFIQUE!!! I WISHED I WOZ DER......NEXT TIME THEN
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 !!)
Wow wow wow❤
85 and still going strong
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
Oh my, she's 85...this woman is a force of nature.
I can't believe it.... I absolutely can't beleve it !!!! The voice sounds exactly as it did 50 years ago !!!! love her.
....SHE....made....TIME...STAND STILL....
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 ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
❤
Amazing vocal ability live at 85 year's old. You are world class. I love your voice and your powerful energy through your music. Thank you Dame Shirley Bassey. Xx
This lady is the definition of amazing.
Absolutely!
BEYOND!
She is the definition of so many wonderful and beautiful things ✨️ 💕 💛 💖 💗 ❤️
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.
Petula clark but that is it.
Well her looks look a little - let's call it beautified.
@@gabrieleschulze7627 good for her then
She is 85 years old and still KILLING IT!!! Shirley Bassey, one of the best! I'm pretty sure Sean and Roger were smiling down upon you from Heaven!
I WISH SHE WOULD TOUR IN THE USA. SHE SOUNDS AND LOOKS FANTASTIC.
OMG.....THIS WOMAN IS 85 YRS OLD???....AMAZING,,,JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!
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.
Simply ageless and timeless! At her age, she can still belt it. Love her forever!! A real national treasure.❤❤❤
God bless her.
@Lorna Davies,well said,yes.
The Great Dame of Music ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
And, that, ladies and gentlemen is how you own the stage. Dame Shirley can do no wrong in my eyes.
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!!! AMAZING
There’s only one Shirley. We will never see her like again.
There are good singers and then there are exceptional singers like Dame Shirley Bassey! The likes of Dame Shirley are few and far between and seldom rivalled.
85 years old .. 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.
Style, class, charisma, and talent. Like no other.
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 a powerful voice at 85..no gimmicks, all live. Go Shirley
tears running like a waterfall .. such a grace, voice.. She is the biggest diamond of all....... shine for us for decades to come!!
I hope that in the near future the people that are working on the next Bond film reach out to her and get her to do a song for one last film. It would hopefully bring a great start to a new Bond series.
It is a gift from God to sing like this at 85!
Truly
What a legend! A real artist❤
This performance deserves a billion views ❤️❤️❤️
Love from Philippines
Sie,ist eine Jahrhundertstimme. 👍👏👏👏💋💋💋
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.
Sheer talent ..
magnifique Shirley Bassey respect 🌹
ダイヤモンドと彼女の歌声は共に永遠的だと証明しています👍️
Still beautiful. Still elegant. Still a diva. Her voice is still unbelievable.
Such a star! 87 now and still going strong. Love her ♥️
The Dame still blow off the roof of that stage at her 85; as she only can..! with her powerfull voice and dazzling personality.
SALUTE! AND WELL DONE!!! BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!👍👌👏❤❤❤
Dear Madonna, dear Sam Smith, dear Alicia, dear Billie .... THIS is a Bond-Song and THIS is a performance!
Madonna ‘s was the worst! Alicia, Sam, and Billie kicked ass
Even Tina Turner's Goldeneye pales in comparison. And she's the Queen of Rock 'n Roll.
She's 85!!! OUTSTANDING!!
She has taken care of herself and her instrument. Continued blessings. Brava!
WOW! Lift my hat She still got it damn unique Ms Bassey!
Now shes 87...87 years young! WOW!
Bloody hell! At 85...
85 and still has that amazing voice!
Que espetáculo!!! Essa música é linda demais! Que poder vocal! Uma vez Diva sempre será Diva! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
This song is at its best, now she is older, most loose their voice, hers gets stronger.
She is literally unbelievable.
The Welsh produce amazing singers! Tom Jones and Dame Shirley Bassey are truly amazing and they can still belt out a song when others can barely manage a whisper. Shirley did a phenomenal job here. I am in awe.
About 4 years ago Sir Tom performed a concert where I was working for the summer and I got to hear it.
His voice is still jaw dropping and as all of the stars from his generation, he doesn't need any extra help from technology. He can actually sing
As well as the smokey voiced legend Bonnie Tyler!
And Cerys Matthews
pjDon't forget Dorothy Squires also a magical performer.
@@davidwalsh3439 Dorothy has never been forgotten.
Pure gold never fades away.., just keeps glowing 🌟
I mean come on. I couldn’t sing this at 34 let alone 85. A remarkable woman. Voice so powerful. Just incredible. Gave me goosebumps. When you see the crap in the charts these days. This is called singing ❤️
Hi Clare, I couldn't agree more with you, you have great taste in music and appreciate greatness!!! Shirley certainly is a phenomenal artist!!! Did you ever see her live? I was lucky to attend her concerts twice in Melbourne, Australia. Anyway, I wish you all the best and have a happy Easter!!!👏😃
@@johnferraguft6079 Saldy Iv never seen her live but have grew up hearing her music. She has one of the best voices in the music business. Happy Easter to you too 🐣 xx
This is a masterclass for today's so-called singers.
WELSH AND WONDERFUL
While father time is snatching these old dolls throats Ms. Bassey is standing strong voice is still powerful
I honestly never heard this song until Kanye West sampled it. Been in love with it ever since.
She’s still in her prime ❤️
Her voice has not changed, the incredible Ms Shirley Bassey
I saw her show in 1974. She still sounds amazing. Thank you Dame Shirley... Your diamonds are forever.
The one and only! Bravo!
None of the so called artists these days can match her even at 85 she still sounds great
85 man how way she is better than the majority of our current 'singers' and she looks absolutely amazing and classy x
Incredible 85 years...the indestructible unique wonderful Dame Shirley Bassey
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is absolutely unbelievable .....i am speechless... 85? but how?
What A Legend and What a Voice too to be Able to Sing at her age is 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
She’ll forever be the quintessential Bond singer to me. God bless you Shirley ❤️
To hear that voice again after several years of the pandemic, just as stellar and perfect as it always has been is quite emotional. With everything that’s happened and at aged 85, that voice has remained intact. What an absolute privilege to hear it again.
