The song is a parody. She has said it's like making fun of herself and celebrities. It's a really great song. Santigold is really underrated. She's a true artist.
Why are you guys taking the song so seriously?? She said that the reason she wrote the song was to poke fun at narcissistic people ...yawll need to lighten up lol
No right or wrong way to say it, definitely! But it's a contraction of words so there's a typical way of spelling it grammatically correct. ☺ But you do you, boo!
No one here actually listens to the lyrics, huh. Just because Santigold doesn't sing powerhouse songs like Kelly Clarkson or does fancy riffs like Ariana Grande doesn't mean that she isn't a great artist. Listen to the lyrics and do your research before you judge. Thank you Ellen for giving an opportunity for indie/indiepop and other non-mainstream artists a chance to sing on television.
+Victoria Byers I'm saying this with no shade intended. I always do a little research, for me it's just a little disheartening, those comments come from the same young adults that thought Kanye West discovered Sir James Paul McCartney or that Katy Perry discovered Missy Elliott. I'm 31, grew up with a house full of music pre internet, and instead of the internet expanding musical pallets and taste, it seriously is boxing a lot of young people in (some not all). So, I am in fact more than allowed to shake my head at the thought of how quickly artists loose their staying power because technology let's us flood the market with anyone that has a MacBook and a song idea, and unfortunately people don't have to know about the artists that laid the ground work. I shake my head at the fact that most families don't share music with their kids anymore until it's by chance. I completely shake my head when tons of great artists go unnoticed. I shake my head because it takes this awesome performance for her to be seen again and how unfortunate it is that many younger people didn't know her, that makes me smh. so, with love, I smh because she is an underrated talent and I find that unfortunate.
+Landon Alexander okay well that's fair I thought you were shaking your head at the people who think she's new rather than the unfortunate deterioration of the sharing of music
+Victoria Byers nothing but love, I know you're a lover of music too.by your channel, so I knew you would get what I was saying. rock on and share great tunes past, present and future :)
All these youngsters can't wrap their mind around someone who doesn't use autotune and isn't half naked running around the stage shaking their ass. She's making fun of all the self absorbed artists and the people who listen to them.
Right I'm proud. She'll get better, plus it's not has bad as Lana's first time. And we all love Lana now. Just give her w chance too, Santigold is really good.
Santigold will always be a better artist then most of the people you hear on the radio now, this song is about self-motivation and accepting yourself for who you are. I do recommend playing her old stuff, albums full of great songs and this album is no different. Her theme for this album was the 80s how did you guys not catch that?
+That Tuba Guy I found here around 2009 L.E.S. Artists and Desperate Youth are great but if you're looking for more of her 80s music of her new album Rendezvous Girl, Who I Thought You Were, and especially All I Got. Big Mouth is very Brazil inspired if you're looking for a good dance track! She's such a good artist but it might take some time to get used to it lol. Let me know how it goes!
I love Santigold and I was so glad she was getting the space she deserved in TV when I saw this. And then I read the comments and I almost wished she stayed out of this media circus. She's been around for a long time, and she deserves respect.
So what if her hair is "80s" these comments just prove that people care about looks more then they do care about talent. She's a really good singer, rather YOU like it or not is something else. But hating on this video because you don't like her hair or because the song isn't of your taste is stupid and condescending.
+Mara Khayter I just saw this video "live" (first showing on Australian TV) on Ellen. I must admit, I had to check the lyrics and TH-cam vlogs to check if it was indeed a joke. In these very, very narcissistic days of selfies and social media, you never know. Thankfully, it was parody, and I still have faith in humanity's ability to self critique...
I can't get enough of Santigold and i'm a metal head! This is good shit that I was late discovering. I haven't heard anything this good in my years. I think her next few releases will be Guinness book sales through whatever channels music goes through these days. The time is right! Quality is timeless and this girls music will be appreciated for a very long time, Buy this girls stuff order her albums, there is no filler, it's all killer! and do it to support good music that isn't shitte. Thank You Santigold! I don't work for her or know her. Im just some dude that appreciates good music! Byron Motherfukin Penick. Cheers
These people talking shit about Santigold, go back to your Justin Biebers and Ariana Grandes. Ellen is opening the way for many indie-pop artists, but you people only care about mainstream shit. Would love to see Esperanza Spalding singing on tv.
+LPS Random Productions And who the fuck are you to talk about her talent? Seriously dude, i wont reply anymore, if you have some free time to keep this conversation go ahead and find someone else, but i have other things to do. Good luck
Ok. everybody should calm down, the song sounds like a truly oldie,that explains the hairstyle, second, the song is a parody, stop complaining because she doesn't look like Taylor Swift or Selena, megh.
Yall Srsly check her out! There's a weird mic-ing problem here where the backup singers are really balanced, but she's the shit. This song itself is supposed to be a satirical commentary on narcissism. Hence the faces errrywhere.
You must be struggling to find talent for your show Ellen. I only clicked on this video because I saw the thumbnail and thought it was some comedy skit or something. I am really regretting that decision now
the fact that none of you know who she is. don't fucking come for this talented ass woman who produces nothing but masterpieces! if she was 'trash' or 'irrelevant' she wouldn't be on Ellen.
She’s a star. 🌟 anyone hating on her has problems with themselves they either haven’t identified or dealt with. She’s an amazing performer and musician✊🏽💯
ELLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U AND I NEEDS A PHONE I LIVE IN TRINIDAD PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ INVITE ME TO UR SHOW I NEED A PASSPORT THO I'M 13
Don't let anymore negative remarks or comments stop you for performing and singing,I enjoyed it, because it. Is uniquely different.She did this her way,not anyone else way,she rocked it!!!!
+David van veen I know right she thinks that her album cost 99 cents she is famous hahaha ha can't stop laughing my stomach hurts not trying do be mean
+Jhon Tskhomelidze In June 2015, she contributed the song "Radio" to the soundtrack of the film Paper Towns.[45] In November, "Can't Get Enough of Myself", the first single of her forthcoming new album 99¢, was released.
I stared at the thumbnail for a good 5 seconds before going, "Fuck it, let's see what this is about."
same!!! 😊
Yea, me too
EXACTLY!
Same hahhaa
Same
She's so underrated!
The song is a parody. She has said it's like making fun of herself and celebrities. It's a really great song. Santigold is really underrated. She's a true artist.
Donovan Rodriguez I always loved her so different than other artists
It's about the vanity in today's society
Totally agree. She’s such an artist who makes such meaningful music
I've never taken it as a parody. I've only ever taken it an anthem.
Donald Trump must really love this song.
lol
No, Kanye!!
Lol
lol
+Snervous Sivan lol
Why are you guys taking the song so seriously?? She said that the reason she wrote the song was to poke fun at narcissistic people ...yawll need to lighten up lol
Y'all*
You all = y'all 😅 just helping, sorry if this sounds rude!

Nobody knows who santigold is? Seriously?
I know right! I thought she was popular!
+Caroline Belle her songs are
Honestly thought this was going to be a parody of 'Hands to Myself'
I get ya. I'm guessing this will be kanye's baby in the future thought.
+hussadaughter same
sammmeeee
Same lol
+hussadaughter Me too
reply"🙌 damn" if you cant belive this woman is 39 years old 😍
Damn
i can believe that
Woah... I thought you were joking but I just googled it and you're right. Wtf I thought she was like 18 tbh. Then again I am on my phone lol
well , she looks in her fourties !!!!
Damn really????
She doesn't give a fxck. This is good.
+1kaaa She's trolling everyone and it's working based on the comments
couldnt stop laughing at this setup omg SHES SO GOOD THO
Felt like I was watching some old 80s video
That's the point
Dont know why people are hating, i think her performance was great and the song has a happy beachy island vibe 😄
She sounds exactly how she sounds on the album which is quite rare nowadays
Why are there so many dislikes? Oh right, people rather see Selena Gomez attempt to sing.
+M. Agca i know right?
+M. Agca oh and you think this attempt to sing was successful? jokes on you bud
Santigold is so underrated. The whole album is ILL.
i like how a lot of the commenters think Santigold is new....smh. love her.
Well how are they supposed to know if they've never heard of her before? No need to "smh"

I kinda thought she was new
All these youngsters can't wrap their mind around someone who doesn't use autotune and isn't half naked running around the stage shaking their ass. She's making fun of all the self absorbed artists and the people who listen to them.
Nothing wrong with using autotune or being sexy BUT it just shouldn't be only thing going on. lol
why is she getting so much hate give her a break people its her first TV debut and her singing is good
Right I'm proud. She'll get better, plus it's not has bad as Lana's first time. And we all love Lana now. Just give her w chance too, Santigold is really good.
+CHill gAmeR Yeah and her first album was released in 2008 and people think she is a new artist.
Sshe was on jimmy Fallon like a week ago
What the actual fuck did I just watch...
Santigold will always be a better artist then most of the people you hear on the radio now, this song is about self-motivation and accepting yourself for who you are. I do recommend playing her old stuff, albums full of great songs and this album is no different. Her theme for this album was the 80s how did you guys not catch that?
What's the ultimate single from her discography I could start off with? What's your fav single frm her? She seem really interesting :)
+That Tuba Guy I found here around 2009 L.E.S.

+kokialdo Awww yeah. Will def check those tracks out.
Thanks for the recommendation love
I love Santigold and I was so glad she was getting the space she deserved in TV when I saw this.
And then I read the comments and I almost wished she stayed out of this media circus.
She's been around for a long time, and she deserves respect.
Self love is good! WHY so many thumbs down?
She doesn't sound really good here...
565 unlikes ? this generation make me sick
She's a true artist !
I love this woman so much!! Great performer!!
I love how Santigold continues to work on her own lane and doesn't give a shit about anyone else ❤️
Queen! Most underrated artist of the last 20 years…. She set trends that are being picked up and copied by the likes of Doja Cat, Cardi, etc…
So what if her hair is "80s" these comments just prove that people care about looks more then they do care about talent. She's a really good singer, rather YOU like it or not is something else. But hating on this video because you don't like her hair or because the song isn't of your taste is stupid and condescending.
Can't wait to see her at the house of blues! Gonna be a great show!!!
Such an underrated song. hope it gets popular!
man i love this woman!
"Can't get enough of myself". Well we can see that.
Yeah wow ahha. By the way, nice Daenerys profile picture :D

Mara Khayter It was a joke...

She have some great music. check more of her work out
Good look! Santigold has been on the scene for a while.
really? i'm glad i finally found her.
21locusts
yup! Drake even remixed her song for his debut mixtape. #SoFarGone
She's a true inspiration!
When people think it's still the 1900's and r not keeping up
agreed
OMG I SAID THE SAME THING 😭😭😭
With the kardashians
+Elizabeth Camarena 1900? Lol..
Anyways, retro is back in fashion.
+Kiara De Jong hahahahaha
So fun!! 1980's - Early 90's!
That was inspiring. I wish her much success.
I can't get enough of Santigold and i'm a metal head! This is good shit that I was late discovering. I haven't heard anything this good in my years. I think her next few releases will be Guinness book sales through whatever channels music goes through these days. The time is right! Quality is timeless and this girls music will be appreciated for a very long time, Buy this girls stuff order her albums, there is no filler, it's all killer! and do it to support good music that isn't shitte. Thank You Santigold!
I don't work for her or know her. Im just some dude that appreciates good music!
Byron Motherfukin Penick. Cheers
Donald trump theme song much ?
Man it's so true!
Omg yaaaaass
Im pretty surprised yet not surprised that this is Santi's first daytime show performance-she's hella known but not mainstream enough
Yes! I'm glad she's getting out there in the general public!!! Can't wait to see her in concert in April
omg I loved L.E.S. Artistes and Shove It
Totally!!
501 thumbs down can never jam with me over their taste in music. TUNE
Is Santigold the new Amy Winehouse? I mean, look at that hair! :-) I love it!!!
I just found this AWESOME band
These people talking shit about Santigold, go back to your Justin Biebers and Ariana Grandes. Ellen is opening the way for many indie-pop artists, but you people only care about mainstream shit. Would love to see Esperanza Spalding singing on tv.
If music was all about big notes, we would only have acapella songs. Go lick some donuts with your "grande", sir.
+Jed Martins You sir are amazing.
+LPS Random Productions Sir, im talking about music and music is not all about singing. Are you on drugs or something?
+LPS Random Productions And who the fuck are you to talk about her talent? Seriously dude, i wont reply anymore, if you have some free time to keep this conversation go ahead and find someone else, but i have other things to do. Good luck
Narcissism is already a problem, now there's a theme song 😂
I love her! I loved that they used her song in "Spy"
10/10 this is so same catchy !
so true. been listening to this all day
Ok. everybody should calm down, the song sounds like a truly oldie,that explains the hairstyle, second, the song is a parody, stop complaining because she doesn't look like Taylor Swift or Selena, megh.
I smiled the entire time watching this.
I want that dress with my own face tho
Yall Srsly check her out! There's a weird mic-ing problem here where the backup singers are really balanced, but she's the shit. This song itself is supposed to be a satirical commentary on narcissism. Hence the faces errrywhere.
Love Santigold's music, never actually knew what she looked like until now! :)
Me too !😅😁
I wonder how her rooms looks like...
santigold, solange, erica badu, janelle should collaborate...i want to hear dat song
"UNSTOPPABLE" BY SANTIGOLD IS SO POWERFUL AND EMPOWERING!!!!!
Oh YAY she's back!
when you take that one good selfie so you post it everywhere and make it your dp for everything
This is sad, hysterical and makes you cringe all at the same time i'm guessing she loves herself with her face plastered all over the place.
Dream girl, right here.
love from denmark
this songs got an old school feel and I love it
Daytime television debut??? IT IS ABOUT TIME! Santigold rocks!
loves it!!! werk baby girl
love it! your the best Santigold!
shes better than Selena Gomez though........
I get a Ronnie Spector vibe from this and that is saying a lot. Santigold is an amazing artist.
I thought this was one of Ellen's jokes at first.
Then I looked her up, oops.
i am so early ..love from Africa😍😍😍😍
where you from?
+Reya x from Kenya hun
You must be struggling to find talent for your show Ellen. I only clicked on this video because I saw the thumbnail and thought it was some comedy skit or something. I am really regretting that decision now
This song is honest really catchy.
+DescriptionPending Yes, very catchy!!!!!!
I love Santigold ♥ It's an awesome performance
the fact that none of you know who she is. don't fucking come for this talented ass woman who produces nothing but masterpieces! if she was 'trash' or 'irrelevant' she wouldn't be on Ellen.
I am reminded of the stage presence of Amy Winehouse.
She’s a star. 🌟 anyone hating on her has problems with themselves they either haven’t identified or dealt with. She’s an amazing performer and musician✊🏽💯
Talented🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This song is pretty cool
Don't let anymore negative remarks or comments stop you for performing and singing,I enjoyed it, because it. Is uniquely different.She did this her way,not anyone else way,she rocked it!!!!
All i was wondering is: Is the DRUMMER Jake Johnson? (Nick Miller from NEW GIRL)??!
This is kind of terrible. The song isn't good and the choice of stage layout and outfits are a bit tacky. I get why she chose it, but still, tacky.
+Jennybean Vlogs I used to hate the song too but give another listen it'll grow on you ;)
+David van veen I know right she thinks that her album cost 99 cents she is famous hahaha ha can't stop laughing my stomach hurts not trying do be mean

Ah yess, classic santigold with her antique
SANTIGOLD!!!!!😍🙌💕
This song is hilarious, this girl might belong in an insane asylum or need some intensive therapy for her selfish behavior.
Mitzi Lily the song is about consumerism culture think a little deeper
Song of the Summer!
