He did it for FUN. He did it for FREE. He did it because he APPRECIATES the people who enjoy his music. A real class act. Its nice to see a famous person who still is 'normal'.
guys. listen to how he harmonizes with her. HE GAVE HER THE MAIN MELODY. amazing. he wasnt stealing anything from her, he was BACKING VOCALS for her. so sweet.
This happened to me also ! One day we were playing on the street with my band Every Breath You Take by the Police and the Police came up and arrested us.
First, singing in front of a crowd is nerve wrecking enough, but then to have the artist of the song you're singing come out of nowhere and join you really puts you on the spot!! You did so well, continued on, and finished like a pro!! Your music teacher should be proud of you! Well done, Sydney :-)
Ed is quite the man...what an awesome thing to do...they actually sounded good together...bet that's a day that cute little girl will never forget...wish today's artists had even half of Eds class
I like the fact that he didn't take over the stage he just came to sing a few seconds of his song and left didn't cause a scene. She will never forget this
I love that Ed came up like he was a normal person instead of acting above everyone. I also love that before Ed came you could tell she wasn't giving it her all and after he came she got it right. A beautiful video
How awesome of him was that to sing along with her. He seems like a nice guy in interviews and such, and I love when celebs still retain a high level of humility and generosity. So glad she got to have this moment!
That has to be the biggest compliment to someone being out somewhere shopping and hearing someone else your song. By the way the girl did a beautiful job singing that song. :-)
This is truly inspiring!! I can't believe you still kept singing after Ed showed! That's just amazing!! And such talent you have! That must've been an amazing experience to sing with Ed! And I bet you were shaking towards the end of the song:) Well done Sydney! You should be proud, and stay proud! Always remember this moment because this was a once in a lifetime. Keep singing because you have an amazing voice! Keep it up Sydney!!
:) You held your own quite well there! Your not only didn't freeze but voice didn't even falter. Ed's probably one of the most special artists alive today and you managed to hold your voice singing with him. I have to say it was pretty impressive.
Ed, you are such a breath of fresh air..... A 'Star' that isn't a usual 'Diva'.... But instead of take, take 'take..... You give a little back... That's all it takes in life. You now have another big fan. You really made her day. Thank You for that..... xXx
This is seriously one of my favorite TH-cam videos to watch! Always makes me smile with how well the concert turned out for the humane society fund raiser, and seeing "famous" people surprise fans and giving them a moment of happiness that will last a lifetime. Way to go Ed and Sydney!!
It's so heartwarming. Well done her to keep singing, and well done him to keep it to harmonising and disappearing again before the end, to keep it about her rather than stealing her thunder.
Wow Sydney, you keep singing when Ed comes on stage AND finsh the song after he leaves!!! What a Pro! You'll go far if you keep that up. Couldn't be happier for you x
xxxaragon at the end of the video they are telling her it was him and she freaks out.... she was probably just nervous and didn't realize it was him at the time.... it's a lot to take in... you don't often expect to run into famous people.
I love how he harmonizes on a lower octave which doesn't overshadow the girl singing. class act edit: yeah i know i goofed the comment its just a harmony not an octave thing lol
I noticed this and wanted to comment about it as well. He clearly didn’t want to overshadow her or take her moment away. He did want to make her day, but not at the expense of showing off. He was incredibly thoughtful and sweet in his approach. So considerate and classy.
I can just imagine you going back to school next semester like "So what did you do this summer?" "Oh I just sang wit Ed Sheeran." "......yeah riiiigh-" *blasts youtube video through entire school*
Man I forget how great this video is, then every 2 years or so TH-cam pops it up again in my viewer preference. Great job TH-cam, just made my morning Again!
YEs you were blessed that day and may your music career continue and you never forget that feeling of singing with Ed Sheeran, He is an amazing person and does so many beautiful things to see people happy...
Congratulations! You completely deserve this, you did an excellent job, and from Ed's point of view on the video, he looked absolutely excited and happy to make your day here. Definitely was a blast seeing this happen at the mall on the weekend. :)
Dude, imagine ed just walking around, minding his own business, then he goes : oh shit, I know that song, it's my song (turns to Stuart) imma be back in 3 minutes
apollyonzorz disagree, Taylor Swift I'd a spoilt brat who has let money ruin her. She pulled her music from spotify because $3.2million a month wasn't enough and had since signed for tidal meaning get fans have to sign to tidal or buy her music through iTunes or hard copy. Hate the woman, she was good back in her country days.
Martin Ward If you'll notice from the context of the video, I was primarily commenting on her coolness in terms of her fan interaction, she invests an unmatched amount of effort to give her fans a great experience when they meet in person. Its was cool to see Ed follow suit and do something as random as this and make a really cool moment not just for that girl but for all of us. Also the cool part about living in America with a capitalist driven economy is that when you create something YOU get to decide where and how much it will be sold for. 3.2M/mth may not have been a fair market value for Taylor, but its her content, she made it, she should get to decide who/where and how its sold. So yes her music to fan distribution methods can be disputed, but her celeb. to fan methods are undisputed.
What a professional. She keeps her cool as one of the most famous singer's in the world comes up to surprise her with a duet and then she continues singing after he leaves. She handled herself like someone who sings with famous people everyday. She is unaffected and she will definately go far is she keeps that cool level head.. what a star ;-) Beautiful voice too!
What a class act! Ed gives you the lead line and sings the harmony, using his mic skills to put right where it needs to be to blend the relative volumes just right to showcase your voice. (nice work BTW)
I thought exactly the same. Seriously.. If I were singing an Ed's song and he cames.. I would have stopped singing.. I would hug him and that's all lol. The show must go on but not with Ed Sheeran singing next to you! Omfg, teddy is awesome with her fans/sheerios/followers. *-*
im not sure what im most impressed with, def a tough choice, her amazing voice or her ability to hold it together when he comes on stage...you are amazing Sydney...i wish you the best of luck with this life
What a very special moment for you Sydney Bourbeau. Great singing, and wonderful accompaniment for the last half. What a lovely and talented young man, and you are a talented beautiful young lady yourself.
Ed you are a very beautiful peoples person , conveying messages with music and lyrics that lives in the heart of millions. please do not change your ways through fame. We love the way you convey your sincerity to others no matter the colour or race or the size of their bank accounts . So a big thankyou to all those that had encouraged you to share you with us . .
What a sweet girl! She has a great voice too. Such an awesome moment, who can say they met and sang with him?! Lucky, lucky girl and props to her for singing! I don't have the talent nor the confidence to do that lol. Awesome things happen when you live life to the fullest. You go girl! ☺👍😆
I love watching this video, the young lady sings the song so well and then Ed just casually drops in for a little duet. And, she soldiers on brilliantly.
ed looked more nervous than the girl did haha she held it together like a Professional! what a story to tell, too bad he rushed off stage and didn't wait till the end to have a formal conversation or take a picture with the girl. I can only imagine how shocked she was lol
I just keep on coming back to this video. This young girl has a VERY bright future ahead of her, such professionalism and wow! that voice. Ed Sheeran should write you a song Sydney! Maybe a duet??
that girl has an awesome voice. what ed sheeran do is so sweet. it makes me want to cry. i didn't like his songs before but now i am absoultely in love with them
He did it for FUN. He did it for FREE. He did it because he APPRECIATES the people who enjoy his music. A real class act. Its nice to see a famous person who still is 'normal'.
amsterdope bc he remembers where he came from
+PandaSwagLover Unlike the majority of all singers.
+amsterdope Could not have said it any better. He has such humility!
amsterdope He comes up with Good stuff too...
👍👍👍
guys. listen to how he harmonizes with her. HE GAVE HER THE MAIN MELODY. amazing. he wasnt stealing anything from her, he was BACKING VOCALS for her. so sweet.
ctuero that just shows how he has a heart unlike a lot of people now days
@Purple Floyd meh...
meh
Awesome
The only thing he stole from her was Marvin Gaye's original song!!!!!
after Ed leaves the stage her voice just grows up so much so much more confidence .. that was awesome
Dan Sheppard Yeah... so much different 🥰
I noticed that too
I said the same thing
Guess Ed gave her a boost
Yep she really absolutely killed it after, like he just transfered his voice to her lol
Seven years later, and this video is still so very touching.
Absolutely.
It’s timeless because so many people connect with it.
9 year update:this comment aged perfectly
I love how Ed didn't take the spotlight away from her singing leads. He took the harmonies instead. Kudos Ed....
Life is about experiences..
This young man is a class act. This young lady will carry this memory her entire life.
Well done!
This is what we call a core memory for life. Lucky little Sydney for having that opportunity of a lifetime.
Big props to Ed, class move. And hats off to the young lady for keeping her composure and finishing the song off beautifully.
exactly what I was thinking
thank you bothh, means alot😚
You're quite welcome. Save me front row seats when you hit it big.
+John Bertrand haha you've got a deal
@@sydneybourbeau where's his seat?
This happened to me also ! One day we were playing on the street with my band Every Breath You Take by the Police and the Police came up and arrested us.
Good one
lmao
Haha
Lol!
dont comment much on TH-cam but this terrible juvenile humour made me laugh lol

You did so well, continued on, and finished like a pro!! Your music teacher should be proud of you! Well done, Sydney :-)
Bless her heart...she kept right on singing even as he walked right up to her!!!
this won me over on ed sheeran. what an amazing gentleman. i am glad you had this experience. truly amazing.
8-Bit Eric he has love for people not to many people have love for people anymore
Ed is quite the man...what an awesome thing to do...they actually sounded good together...bet that's a day that cute little girl will never forget...wish today's artists had even half of Eds class
Ed is one of today's artists, but I know what you mean.
lifebeginsat190 he has love for people not to many people have love for people nowadays
I like the fact that he didn't take over the stage he just came to sing a few seconds of his song and left didn't cause a scene. She will never forget this
Ed is everywhere man , marriage , mall , music school , cool though , what a good guy.
Jake Robert kinda funny but that's right lol
Jake Robert a
Jake Robert he is in my closet currently
Jake Robert he has love for people something a lot of people don't have any more
Jake Robert and game of thrones
I'm gonna sing Thinking Out Loud at every mall in my state now.
Hahahaha!!!
One day...
😂😂💔
Hi_ImDaniel you do realise he is British
and also this happened in Canada West Edmonton mall
I love that Ed came up like he was a normal person instead of acting above everyone. I also love that before Ed came you could tell she wasn't giving it her all and after he came she got it right. A beautiful video
Ed is a very talented sweet humble star. Thank you for sharing.
Ed seems like such a genuine person. Love that man.
You were fabulous, Sydney.
How awesome of him was that to sing along with her. He seems like a nice guy in interviews and such, and I love when celebs still retain a high level of humility and generosity. So glad she got to have this moment!
Ed is so humble. What a great moment for you forever 😊👍🏻
That has to be the biggest compliment to someone being out somewhere shopping and hearing someone else your song. By the way the girl did a beautiful job singing that song. :-)
VERY classy of you Ed. That young lady will remember your love and kindness for the rest of her life. Such a kind gesture, PROPS.
Very touching. It's incredible how professional they both are too. He perfectly harmonises with her and she doesn't skip a beat. great moment.
What a sweet gesture...she is singing so beautifully...
This is truly inspiring!! I can't believe you still kept singing after Ed showed! That's just amazing!! And such talent you have! That must've been an amazing experience to sing with Ed!

This girl can SING, and Ed getting on stage and harmonizing with her was so sweet!! I love them
Ed Sheeran! What a classy, sweet guy! She will NEVER forget this amazing moment! Ed gave her a gift better than money!
I think the most amazing part other than Ed showing up is how she mostly kept her composure and managed to keep singing!
She has a beautiful singing voice 😍
thank you!!!
-?//$/$//$/$2$1)1$111'wkdkxj😅
That’s so wonderful and what an experience for that young lady. An unforgettable memory for her and those in the audience. Ed Is a super guy!
I don't know if anyones pointed it out yet but what a fucking pro lol she didn't even stop singing when he showed up and she kept singing as he left
thank you so much!
Absolutely! You nailed it young lady!

I was just about to make a similar comment.

you have the voice of an angel never stop singing . . . .
Thank you so much😩😩❤️
You sing beautifully. I'm particularly impressed by how you kept it together when that guy came up and started singing harmony in your ear.
Ian Sinclair Ha ha @ "that guy".
Lind Smally =))
Lol "that guy" is ED SHEERAN !
"that guy" lol
That weird hairy tattooed guy.
This is seriously one of my favorite TH-cam videos to watch! Always
makes me smile with how well the concert turned out for the humane society fund raiser,
and seeing "famous" people surprise fans and giving them a moment of
happiness that will last a lifetime. Way to go Ed and Sydney!!
haha thank you :)
Great singing girl. Way to hold it together! Keep at it. You will have a home on anybody's stage. LOVED IT.
It's so heartwarming. Well done her to keep singing, and well done him to keep it to harmonising and disappearing again before the end, to keep it about her rather than stealing her thunder.

radio2014 I dont think she knew it was him
eaglegold3303 what? who else did you think she thought he was? (especially, considering her other postings, she is a huge fan of him)

radio2014 Yea, she handled it like a pro!!
+sawyer309 She was obviously freaking out *before* starting that dialogue with her friends.
I love how he harmonizes on a lower octave which doesn't overshadow the girl singing. class act edit: yeah i know i goofed the comment its just a harmony not an octave thing lol
yup, he absolutely wanted to make this a special moment for her, but not make it "all about himself".
Bells Jingle word
Bells Jingle its the 3rd
I noticed this and wanted to comment about it as well. He clearly didn’t want to overshadow her or take her moment away. He did want to make her day, but not at the expense of showing off. He was incredibly thoughtful and sweet in his approach. So considerate and classy.
Such an amazing person
I can just imagine you going back to school next semester like
"So what did you do this summer?"
"Oh I just sang wit Ed Sheeran."
"......yeah riiiigh-"
*blasts youtube video through entire school*
fvcutie0028 Yea and then they're like, "OMG! CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH???????!!!!!"
Merc
fvcutie0028 yea that would be like the dream
I was there, and I literally started crying when I saw him😂
lol im friends with her at school!
It takes so much courage to stand up there and sing infront of people.
A wild Ed Sheeran appears.
RUN
ChrisAndJoly Wild Ed Sheeran Fled
Ed I choose you!
+Nicolas BC The wild Ed Sheeran used sing............. Everyone fell in love.
Sing doesn't affect weirdo type pokemons
I just really appreciate this giant of a man. Ed takes such pleasure in singing! May he sing for another 100 years!
How sweet, and when Ed joined her I think she was in shock , or she didn't believe it was him. Awesome
I keep coming back to this video. It's just so heartwarming.
She didn't miss a beat. Great!
They were both amazing! Ed is such an amazing thoughtful guy with an amazing catchy hit song!. Good on you guys Ed and Syndey!
Thank you:)
That is so sweet! Ed cares so much about his fans, it gives me the feels! The girl was a great singer too!
I'm a fan of Ed do you think he would lend me $600.00?
Lets appreciate that, the girl didnt stopped singing while ed came, it shows she gives respect to the audience down there
You just legit lived out one of my dreams. You're awesome, keep singing!!!!!
Your stage presence in the situation and after is quite impressive. Well done girlie!! WELL. DONE.
Absolutely beautiful voice!!! How amazing that he sang with you and recognized that this was your moment to shine...and that you did!!❤️
God Bless Her, she didn't miss a beat!
Unique and unrepeatable moment.
Greetings from Costa Rica.
Ed, you are one class act ... and the little singing fan is a sweetheart ... and she can sing :)
Shes a true professional when ed walks off just carries right on with the song.
Man I forget how great this video is, then every 2 years or so TH-cam pops it up again in my viewer preference. Great job TH-cam, just made my morning Again!

no she properly was wet under her pant's after that...
lifebeginsat190 I was wondering how she did it myself
Yeah she kept her composure really well!
totally amazing ❤️
What a nice thing to do! Ed! You're a legend
Ed is a class act. Period.
What a class act and what a great performer that girl is to take that in stride
I love the way the camera shakes as Ed joins her, whoever is making this film is as surprised as she is. Wonderful
AGREED
Dude, imagine ed just walking around, minding his own business, then he goes : oh shit, I know that song, it's my song (turns to Stuart) imma be back in 3 minutes
That would be Perfect! LOL
There's actually a video from Ed's perspective, you should check it out

Was it Stuart, Was it not Ted?

She is unaffected and she will definately go far is she keeps that cool level head.. what a star ;-)
Beautiful voice too!
Lots of people have mentioned things along this line, but your comment is the best of them.
What a class act! Ed gives you the lead line and sings the harmony, using his mic skills to put right where it needs to be to blend the relative volumes just right to showcase your voice.
(nice work BTW)
you did really great. How could you still be calm and sing like nothing had happened?

worst if she doesnt know how he looks like actually. :/ dayum
i think she did know who he was
Nishchal Shrestha You're right. I think its pretty obvious when her voice 'skips' for a second when she finally notices him.
So sweet! I'm impressed that she could keep singing!
I'm amazed at how this young female performer handled this situation.
Wow, what’s wonderful experience! Your composure was next level. Thank you for sharing!
You can literally see the confidence boost right after he left the stage and she hit that great high note 🔥
So great. Hard to not love artists that truly understand to whom they owe their success.
Ed sheeran has resorted some of my faith in humanity
+Maxwell's Silver Hammer dude me too. I've fallen in love with his voice and his gestures like this.
Happy is the best feeling anyone can experience ! More of it and the world would wear a grin .
im not sure what im most impressed with, def a tough choice, her amazing voice or her ability to hold it together when he comes on stage...you are amazing Sydney...i wish you the best of luck with this life
You know that moment when you're singing an ed sheeran song then ed sheetan shows up
smartestbeauty Yeah, ed sheetan

He's like a leprechaun. You sing his song and he will come. Jk so rare and cool of him to come up and sing a long without stealing the show

that will stay with her for the rest of her life. Imagine been able to do that in such an understated way
