Jay Kay and Jamiroquai are big enough and highly appreciated by their fans around the globe, but much in agreement, sincerely deserved much more recognition in the music industry. So upsetting. Heart wrenching. 😊❤
I am not sure why Jamiroquai never became even more popular - I have a very eclectic taste in music from J.S.Bach through to Metallica but Jamiroquai is firmly within that area of really good music and musicianship.
He was more popular, he was well known from East to West, your perception is short sighted unfortunately. This cat was around and known in town. Mtv made sure of it.......
ive ever read on google, for some reason it says that jamiroquai is not popular enough because he lost a momentum from the 1st album to the 2nd album 🤷♂️
@@wonkapi He’s been singing for over 28-30 years. This song dates back to 1997, it’s natural that he’s voice has lowered and that he hasn’t the same breath as before ☺️
I have always felt that Jamiroquai and Steve Wonder should have done a song together , because of their vocals are Perfect , and they Share so Much LOVE , and REALNESS
A friend from London, England sent me this glorious performance ~2024 ~ I'm in the US ~it's my go-to uplifting song...I listen EVERYDAY! Jay deserves this professional orchestra! I feel sorry for the "Stuffed Shirts" who didn't clap or MOVE! They were deaf, dumb & blind.
When it first started I was like "aw darn, he's not playing live, it's just playback" but no, the man just delivers with a studio quality performance. Incredible.
I'm in the US in 2024~ my English friend sent me this phenomenal performance. Now I can't go a day without hearing Jay sing "Virtual INSANITY" ~ BRILLIANT!
I think it's great that Jay Kay and his band were chosen for this Nobel Prize ceremony and that they played this beautiful and deep song. It's a symbolic moment when art points out the flaws of the evolution of our societies. "Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul" François Rabelais. Hello from France.
@@DC50Gal I agree DC~what a shame this audience won't let themselves move!!! to Jay Kay's classy funky/jazz performance. Back-up vocals and a full orchestra underline the message delivered by this amazing band. My friend in England shared this with me~ in the 1990s they were very popular in the UK~and basically unknown in the US. OMG I love Virtual Insanity!
Just occasionally a singer and a band and an orchestra come together to create something amazing. This is one of those times; you don't want it to end.
No they weren't underrated. They/he just chose to go fully commercial and missed his shot to become legendary. Jay knows that. He said it in an interview.
this song has got to be the most prophetic song of the music industry. back in 1997 or someting i said that the future is a "virtual insanity".... now, here we are.. welcome to the future of internet madness... and its not stopping any time soon. Enjoy the ride my dear friends.
I just heard this song on the radio and can't believe I have missed it all these years! The piano riff caught me right away, and the guy's voice! I thought it was Stevie Wonder and maybe this was why it always flowed right by. What an amazing talent, truly deserving of wider acclaim!
replay, replay, replay, replay, replay.....repeat process....replay, replay.... I can not get sick of this song...This is how Jamiroquai should be live....with a fully fledged orchestra, all the time..
I will never get bored of this absolute ANGELIC, MAGIC, TRAGIC and WONDERFUL musical bridge at 3:08 , supported by wonderful strings and chorus . Virtual insanity is probably THE song of Jamiroquai
Always loved the band since their debut Emergency on Planet Earth album. Love the way they have managed to reinvent/keep their sound going. Thought when Stuart Zender left that would be it but just shows their talent to survive losing that enormous talent. Band always been so tight gotta be one of the best live bands full stop. Still wishing for them to tour again
I had to laugh when this was covered/murdered on American Idol and Randy said that Jamiroquai was an amazing artist... it's a band you tool! This is absolutely epic, love Jay Kay, super funky band, and still one of my all time favourite clips EVER. Epic epic epic!
This is the perfect song to perform about peace. It doesn't come off as pretentious as those other get-together songs with all those different kind of singers.
I first saw Jamiroquai live in Germany 94 in a tiny hall, how lucky was I......I have seen them twice since. Last time, Summer 2017 in Portugal, they never disappoint, best live band ever. JK rocks!!
Something about spoken word over a bass and piano = Funk Disco. Some of the best lyrics and groove ever written. There's no more music to unlock, there's less.
Jamiroquai es una de las pocas bandas que suena tan bien en vivo. No pudo ser mejor canción para interpretar en medio de tantas eminencias. Excelente :D
Amazing!! I love how they played the song with all the orchestra. Jamiroquai makes timeless music. What is wrong with the public?? They are so lifeless! I'd be jumping up and down and probably singing along >
You did read the headline and know what Nobel Peace Prize is? It's a seated hall with average age well over 50 years and nobody was there to specifically listen Jamiroquai (not saying they can't like the music), but were invited there for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I love this.. omg.. this is the song that made me fall in love with them.. actually the first song I ever heard from them... its still grooving.. .love :))
I've never heard Jay Kay's regular speaking voice before, it's surprisingly deep compared to his singing voice Either way this song is still an absolute bop and way more prescient then it had any right to be
I never went through Jamiroquia phase (not yet), but I always respected how good so much of his music is. I figure if any songwriter can even create one song that gets the world singing together, or becomes memorable even for a short time....they deserve respect.
No, you’re not the first with your “I didn’t know Keanu Reeves can sing” comment - I delete all of them...
I didn't know Keanu Reeves was in Constantine
LOL stay strong 🤘
thank you
some guys really said that ? is Jamiroquai so unknown by everybody ?
the Keanu comment was prob cuz JAY KAY WASN'T IN HIS UNIQUE FUN SIGNATURE STYLE..
the guy who's standing up and dancing at 2:09 deserves a Nobel Prize award
that guy is the definition of vibing
This audience must be deaf, dumb and are sitting on glue! Let's dance!
The audience didn't even MOVE! These "Stuffed Shirts" failed to grasp Jay's message and force of his music.
His voice on tune perfectly. It is a live performance. I can see no earpiece, even. That's impressive!
He never uses them!
The guy has insane pitch. He’s a monster talent.
Bravo jamiroquei sempre the best!!
"They" are jealous of people like this that can do this naturally that's why people with real talent never get to famous
They have lowered the key from the original recording and he's using foldback speakers. Having said that....great band, great song.
I love how the orchestra conductor is swaying his ass off. Brilliant performance
great music has NO boundaries
Yeah, cant blame him
He really is having fun.
He is a musician.
@@listeningatwork8719 no shit
This guy should have been WAY bigger than he was. What a voice!
UK's 3rd biggest group of the 90s
@@tutin4090 He should have been an international super star, he made some noise, and was gone. Making it to top 3 in UK is insulting to him.

Politics! He's not a sell out, and has a soul!
He was more popular, he was well known from East to West, your perception is short sighted unfortunately. This cat was around and known in town. Mtv made sure of it.......
totally agree
Because it proves general taste is 💩 so it isn't a surprise actually it's an endorsement. Who needs popularity
ive ever read on google, for some reason it says that jamiroquai is not popular enough because he lost a momentum from the 1st album to the 2nd album 🤷♂️
This dude has such a strong voice...very underrated vocalist. Love Jamiroquai!
And an incredible energy!
I’m gonna guess he spent a lot of time singing along to Stevie Wonder when he was a kid.
He's an awesome singer but he looks breathless there, no ?
@@wonkapi He’s been singing for over 28-30 years. This song dates back to 1997, it’s natural that he’s voice has lowered and that he hasn’t the same breath as before ☺️
Hardly underrated
Why isnt the floor moving
This is the first time in my life I have literally laughed out loud for an internet comment.
lol
Want to see him tiptoe through the brass section
Why isn't the whole room a shakin'..?
True!
I have always felt that Jamiroquai and Steve Wonder should have done a song together , because of their vocals are Perfect , and they Share so Much LOVE , and REALNESS

Best we got was Steve Wonder and Daft Punk at the Grammys
This bass line is just perfect
Without Zender?
I agreed that’s a Alleva coppolo bass Paul Turner is an amazing bass also I think he’s using a envelope filter for most of the groove.
@@coruzx3220 With Zender would be even better! =)

He was ahead of his time
is
lol that seems to be the easiest thing to say!
100%

Total perfection. Total masterpiece. Total jamiroquai.
The best !!!
When it first started I was like "aw darn, he's not playing live, it's just playback" but no, the man just delivers with a studio quality performance. Incredible.
A modern classic. It’s as fresh today as it plays on TH-cam in 2022 as when it first landed 1996.
Will never die. 😊❤
Just gets better- this is a killer version

Most underrated band
Maybe today but before he was super famous
@@michalbandy2898 band, not Jay
you must be under 18 yo
When i was at their concert in 2011 in Europe I was surprised how many people came from the neighbour countries to watch them
No they weren't underrated. They/he just chose to go fully commercial and missed his shot to become legendary. Jay knows that. He said it in an interview.
The background singers are incredible!Their voices add a touch of style and class to an already incredible song.

Jay Kay had foresight right back then and saw it all comin. 😊❤
his voice is made of pure gold
時代を感じる。この調も好きだな。
何年経っても色褪せないな、ジャミロクワイ。 本当に大好き
Fantastic all around .... Singing ... Playing ... Song ... Arrangement .... Production ... All just amazing.
Holy shit, that extended break with a full orchestra….I’d forgotten how incredible it was.
いつ見てもかっこいい
This band always sounds so tight and JK's vocal's are so effortless, awesome song!
This is the best live version of this song! Just how it was meant to be done.. with a full blown Orchestra. Epic.
its quite interesting to see how the entire message can switch with one line going from "and that's alright" to "things have gotta change"
こんなに聴いてて気持ちいい曲なかなか無い

Jay Kay is one of the most underrated singers ever, his voice is so special, he needs to be talked about waayyy more
I agree 100% He just doesn’t get the adulation he deserves. And his band are insane.
Live performance and it still sounds amazing, Jay Kay is truly great
How fitting this song has always been since its release.
A hit
I will never get bored of this absolute ANGELIC, MAGIC, TRAGIC and WONDERFUL musical bridge at 3:08 , supported by wonderful strings and chorus . Virtual insanity is probably THE song of Jamiroquai
more than a decade later and he's still got it. that's a god given voice.

Masterpiece
Real music. I hope to hear more from this amazing singer , these coming years.
chiquiboy23 Haha, we've been hearing from him since the early nineties man! :)
A fantastic band in it for the long haul.
***** Not eighties though. It's founded in '92, as far as I know.
chiquiboy23 and he made it.. didnt he?
Man he can pack out a crowd- he’s so freakin hot,, I can’t get enough of him. Jason Luis Cheetham is his real name. He always sounds spot on.
Are you kidding me, string AND brass sections??? Classic Jamiroquai T_T
And the black ladies. Killer.
Jay Kay
A work of art this melody, Jamiroquai ♥️
Still, in this year “virtual Insanity” 🇲🇽
Even more now!!
hell of a voice!! man.
なんやかんや、本家が一番かっこいい
JAMIRIE GETS OLDER but his music is timeless ...... most talented musician I have ever seen.........mister cool
Jamiroquai is a band, not a person. His name is Jay Kay
I'm go call him Jamario. That sounds better than Ray Jay..
His name is JAY KAY, dammit!
If you were refer3ncing the meme though...well played
