From the new album "Awaken, My Love!" available now: smarturl.it/awa... childishgambino... / donaldglover / childishgambino / donaldglover vevo.ly/FCYcyO
i'm don't know exactly how pitch shifting works but this here sounds very diffrent from the album version. I love this version but the album version i'm not digging at all.
So lemme get this straight he was an actor in community then went on to become a comedian on 30 rock and now is a singer/rapper he has unlimited talent
@@michaelmcguire498 he was doing Derrick comedy and music at the same time. His first project sick boi came out in 2008 . Then he started writing for community that came out in 2009 . And also has a movie called Mystery Team that came out the same year . Truly a Renaissance man at it’s finest
That crowd had no clue how lucky they are to have witnessed such a performance......I can't even come up with words ...like how do you say just wooooo at the end of that.....? Na no way
@@jabellatv3240 you dont have to disrespect one artist just to bring another artist up. gambino is an incredible rapper/singer/actor/director/producer, so i would say he is more versatile than kanye, but you cant deny kanyes impact, especially in production
I swear people are sleeping on this guy, he can sing that high! he can rap, he can act, he is a comedian, he directs/produce... and we are so obsessed with people who have no talent *side eye*
I am so shocked and impressed that this is him singing the song. I've only listened to this song on spotify, prime music, or a friend playing it in a car. I always thought this was another person singing.
ayyo autotune is not used for making your voice thin dumbass pitch correction is to be done to make voice higher in this case gambino's voice is quite high-pitched so it's his real voice
a little bit of autotune/ muffling woulda went a long way here. but can also appreciate how raw it sounds. still a great performance considering hes not actually the 60 year old black woman that he sounds like.
REAL ishh right here. Literally looked like he had just stepped out of a chamber as lights were coming up, and he became humble "Donald" right after that.
T1nyDynamite its falsetto, its just passing air through the back of the nasal cavities as opposed to the throat. to sound deep and operetic you use your diaphragm.
I like how Ludwig Göransson played the guitar. He produced the song and also composed for big blockbuster films such as Black Panther and Oppenheimer and is also a 2 time Oscar winning Composer
Dude has produced critically acclaimed songs, an award winning show, and is an incredible comedian. Im half expecting him to create and open an incredible art gallery next.
Damn! I honestly thought he was doing a voice effect to make himself sound like an old black lady, but this dude actually did the voice! Childish Gambino is so talented. I'm a new fan and he's got me hooked now.
I still remember this. Everyone thought there was some vocal processing going on, but when he opened his mouth and put that to rest, it was a real "lightbulb" moment.
Donald Glover has a REALLY strong case to be the most talented person in Hollywood. Actor Writer Director Rapper Singer Producer Dancer Stand Up Comic And he’s really really good at all of those things, how can you not love this man?
This dude is a one man army of talent... he rap, sing, direct, produce, act, does stand-up comedy, babysit, read palms, raise pitbulls, groom unicorns, buy sell & trade used low mileage UFO's, feeds surf and turf to the homeless... and rumor has it, he single handedly built at least 2 pyramids in the heart of Egypt 1000's of years before his own birth
Well, his falsetto actually sounds good. Many people try to sing falsetto and it sounds like they're stepping on the neck of an ostrich, so compared to songs where he's got a deeper, low-end drop to his voice, the fact that not only he can sing falsetto, but give every note that light, floating sort of feeling, that REAL soul sound, AND hit some pretty damn high notes, is very VERY impressive.
Have you ever heard Al Green or Sam Cooke? that's soul singing and that's some crazy good stuff. Nothing against Childish Gambino but to compare him to real soul singers is greatly under appreciating those who came before him. Like I said nothing against him, how often do you see where genre's even last long enough to be able to pass onto a equally talented individuals. I say that because Childish Gambino is not a soul singer that would happen to.
shawn johnson that's where I first heard the song and was like damnnn what song is this?! Then was shocked when it was gambino, he is bringing soul back! to the
La Flama Blanca I did and said everything you just said! I googled and found out it was Gambino in the movie theater, already had the album on my phone but hadn't listen to it yet
Sky Waterer they never died, they were standing in the shadows of mainstream music. But trust, they've always have been and always will be around 👌 Hopefully, more of them get a chance to step into the light in the near future.
RoyalRed I concur. Ive been listening to him since he was on his Breezy Love Joy shit, but his Malibu album is beyond nice. I wanted him to get that grammy. The fact he was nominated though was great. If he stays on track, this year will be a good year for him. Glad people are recognizing it.
autotune wouldn't pitch somebody's voice like this, i guarantee you they did use autotune on the album version of the track, to keep his vocal in tune cause singing like this be hard as fuck
The thing is, every studio version of every singer you've ever heard is autotuned. When it's done right, you cant notice it. And no, you couldn't sound good with autotune, you have to be able to sing well for it to even be useful. The over-the-top, robotic sounding autotune is a stylistic choice. It's not supposed to trick you....
@@NidokingOtsutsuki what? That's not correct at all. First of all, if every studio song an "artist" has is autotuned, then i'm sorry, he/she is not a singer, because you need to be TUNED to sing. Second of all, autotune was invented in 1997, so i don't know why you say that EVERY studio song is autotuned. And third, current pop music is full of singers that can't sing, but with a little too much of autotune and vocal effects they sound okay (if you ask me they still sound awful, but people seem to like it).
the first time I heard this, I genuinely thought it was a guest vocalist singing on the track and kept waiting for Donald to come in. as the song continued I accepted that he only produced the track and wasn't actually featured. his vocal range still blows my mind.
There's also the episodes when he was humming Daybreak (the Halloween episode where they all tell horror stories, and the one where Annie breaks the Batman DVD)
He also hits an off-key bend right at the beginning of the solo, but just kept bending it past the bad note (what Hendrix called "bending it into infinity") so that it didn't even sound like it was *supposed* to be a certain note, then he blazed through the rest of the solo. He noticed his mistake and figured out how to turn it into something even better within like 0.05 seconds, while performing live in front of a TV studio audience on a broadcast that millions would be watching, and was able to make it smooth as butter. I've played for 20+ years and hearing that moment got me so pumped haha. Great guitarist, great band, great song, and Glover... just no words for that guy's talent.
did childish gambino just single handedly bring back funk? this man is very talented he can rap,sing,act play instruments, he's a comedian what can't be do?
well there's him, Bruno Mars, Kamasi Washington (and a ton more) but there needs to be more on the map. I miss soul/funk performances that makes you feel more human
This perfomance should be engraved in stone for all generations to come to enjoy. 2022 and its definitely still a vibe. Much love from Kenya. Thank you Gambino. This is true art🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪
I love that you can tell he's singing it live. The occasional second where he slides to the right pitch, or the ad libs that make it sound so powerful and impressive. Its not studio manipulation, he just has an insane vocal range.
How is that something people would "realise"? You just want to let people know that you know a shitty, really uninteresting piece of trivia. Nobody cares that you know that. You probably don't even follow his work at all, you just saw the same video millions of other people saw, where he explained producing this song.
Everything about this is incredible. This man is a generational talent and so humble after absolutely smashing his performance he gives a little bow at the end of it. Nothing but love for Donald Glover/Childish Gambino. Everything he does is amazing.
This song is such an incredible moment in musical history. Time froze when I first heard this song. You hear it and it's one of those songs that's just instantly a classic and iconic, the groove is so fresh. Nobody could put out a 70s funkadelic album like this these days and get it to be a hit besides Childish. And what a voice-- damn. Channeling both Prince and James Brown. Just a left-field, pleasantly unexpected record.
I mean this album was completely different from all the others. This is the only album of his I like. He executed it really well. As a man in general, I've always had big respect for him though seeing as he's successful in multiple mediums of entertainment.
For the longest I thought it was a female singing. I would at first wait for Childish to come in with a sick verse in the song questioning why the name of the female was never featured. Mind blown
Honestly everyone on stage there has talent and is just fucking awesome. You can the passion in their eyes and the smiles on their faces. It's beautiful.

I went to his This Is America Tour in Paris back in 2019 and this song was so AMAZING. Ain't no video that can transcribe the chills and thrills you get when he's singing this song. It was THEE BEST song I ever heard live for all my life and I went to a lot of concerts. I love this man. So talented and hardworking.
@@Stoffendous 💯Love This Song.. It seems U know abt. this stuff Does Post Malone use auto tune ?? I love him nowadays n I am kinda old. He is Mesmerizing ! ☮
This is my first time seeing him performing this particular song live and I'm blown away. My god. Raps like a monster, comedic genius and sings like no other actor rapper I've ever heard. Salute Donald Glover! Respect!
i really thought his voice was pitch shifted on the album version its wild that he can actually sing like that
Right?! Mind blown

Funny note: one of the guys playing the guitar solo produced the song. His name is Ludwig Göransson and he also made The Mandalorian's score.
He also hits an off-key bend right at the beginning of the solo, but just kept bending it past the bad note (what Hendrix called "bending it into infinity") so that it didn't even sound like it was *supposed* to be a certain note, then he blazed through the rest of the solo. He noticed his mistake and figured out how to turn it into something even better within like 0.05 seconds, while performing live in front of a TV studio audience on a broadcast that millions would be watching, and was able to make it smooth as butter. I've played for 20+ years and hearing that moment got me so pumped haha. Great guitarist, great band, great song, and Glover... just no words for that guy's talent.
@@rest_your_pretty_bonesnice insight, thanks :]
i love how the choir kept saying "niggas" when donald clearly was trying to avoid doing that lmao
@JBYrk "neighbors" maybe??
@JBYrk I think it's "they be creeping"
JBYrk people
*bruuuuuuhhh*
The choir said neighbors
did childish gambino just single handedly bring back funk? this man is very talented he can rap,sing,act play instruments, he's a comedian what can't be do?
Peachez Beautiful Be an adult.
(Its a joke people. If you notice his name is CHILDISH Gambino)
Beta25 _ lol I got it
well there's him, Bruno Mars, Kamasi Washington (and a ton more) but there needs to be more on the map. I miss soul/funk performances that makes you feel more human
Peachez Beautiful the only thing he cant do is be white... not thqt he doesnt act like a white guy haha
Peachez Beautiful Wear shirts
Redbone is song👍
Jefinitely
It's my whole ideantity!
6 season and a movieeeee
Oh my god this took me a second
It's not even clever, you keep using it for the word change!
This perfomance should be engraved in stone for all generations to come to enjoy. 2022 and its definitely still a vibe. Much love from Kenya. Thank you Gambino. This is true art🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪
I'm not comparing this performance to Prince, but the similarity is refreshing.
Fucking love how he loses himself and at the end just as the lights come on and he realises where he is. Dude is a fucking mastermind.
HappehHD best comment my g
HappehHD YEEESSSSSS! EXACTLY!!!!
When they said he could only rap and act.
Nobody said that.
Because the Donald I know people who said that.
Clayton Griffith tight now he is a producer who produced his own TV show and is a r and b singer too.
Kenneth Pleasant Exactly
His breakout was in writing, so...
I love that you can tell he's singing it live. The occasional second where he slides to the right pitch, or the ad libs that make it sound so powerful and impressive. Its not studio manipulation, he just has an insane vocal range.
This audience didn't deserve to hear that magic.
Shanel Knight I know right!!!!?!?!?haha that's what i was thinking
Shanel Knight deadass tho I would be singing along and just vining lol
Vibeing*
Angel Brz 3
*Vibing lmao
the guy who is playing guitar is an Oscar winning film composer for black Panther's score and produced most songs in this Album
Ludwig and Gambino been consistently working together since camp
Mandalorian as well.
How is that something people would "realise"? You just want to let people know that you know a shitty, really uninteresting piece of trivia. Nobody cares that you know that.
You probably don't even follow his work at all, you just saw the same video millions of other people saw, where he explained producing this song.
Apollo Alexandre You are probably right, but you don’t have to be angry about it dude.
@@apolloptx ya ok , I'm film/ music student , and if you don't like film music , I don't care , it's a big thing for me🤷
4:11 dude got possessed by Michael Jackson, James Brown, and prince all at the same time.
Halloween Michael Myers 2 and Janis Joplin! 🤭🙌
@@johnathanlouissalas1627 yup I saw this somewhere down there, but I think they deleted it so I wanted to keep the comment alive. So I reposted it.
Prince for sure
@@bullbyrd yea I just love how the pianist on childish gambino left is just smiling and laughing in some moments
Yes!! He did.
Everything about this is incredible. This man is a generational talent and so humble after absolutely smashing his performance he gives a little bow at the end of it. Nothing but love for Donald Glover/Childish Gambino. Everything he does is amazing.
Hoow can someone be this talented gosh writer, comedian, actor, rapper and singer! what can't he do? Childiish dominates the show business
Alex Childiish Gambiino, Desiigner's evil cousin...
Alex he was also a comedian at one point on stand up
Alex he's a horrible rapper but great at pretty much everything else
The exact opposite of horrible, but okay.
protectyaneck__ what the fuck are you talking about "horrible".
Ever since "Awaken My Love" came out, I'm convinced that Childish Gambino is The Chosen One to bring balance to the Force of Donalds.
blue_pearl_22 haha nice
actually he's lando, lando isn't sensitive to the Force :(
No he's the one true Donald.
blue_pearl_22 Gotta be honest I voted for the other Donald and I still love this comment 😃
This song is such an incredible moment in musical history. Time froze when I first heard this song. You hear it and it's one of those songs that's just instantly a classic and iconic, the groove is so fresh. Nobody could put out a 70s funkadelic album like this these days and get it to be a hit besides Childish. And what a voice-- damn. Channeling both Prince and James Brown. Just a left-field, pleasantly unexpected record.

@@unhelpfulrevelations7989 facts bro
Original sound/beat is from bootys collins "id rather be with you"
Random Access Memories was 5 years ago already? Wow...
He's a old soul ❤
NO AUTOTUNE??? This dude is a vocal beast!!! 🔥🔥🔥
nah he just knows how to sing
@@benuuya5858 ??
@Just a guy with a mustache Pardon?
@@krabuh yes, auto tune, believe it or not, can be used as a stylistic choice by people who know how to sing (see t pain, Cher, etc)
Autotune doesnt fix peoples voices, you are thinking of pitch correction.
Did he just bring back real Funkadelic Soul?
Nah
Thats exactly what I told one of my friends!! Amazing talent
Marcus Davis I love this song but I like his older stuff much better
Mark Johnson this is so different than this older stuff I wouldn't even bother comparing, love his old and new stuff a lot for different reasons
Marcus Davis yes the fuck he did.
he did this shit .... fuck who ever hating on him ... he a fucking winner
Yeah, if I had a shit ton of money I could sing like shit and be a winner too.
You can tell how Jimmy came on the stage to thank him. He was so happy that Donald put 110% stank on that performance. Best performance!!!!
*shirt has left the chat*
Clint Gibson ikr ❤️😍
XD GG
and it never came back...
This is the first one of these that has ever made me laugh lol, good one
Yes
I've heard this on the radio a bunch of times and assumed it was some old skol song!! Way to catch the mood of an old skol era!!
Trish T wtf did i just read?
AnyColour You tell me
Trish T tf
bitch u braindead
and I thought female
He always wears that same shirt
And those same shoes as well
camo shoes are a thing?
FCS_ Pisang is a thing is a thing?
Lmao
Underrated
I love this song in live, i hope you continue growns your legacy
I've been sleeping on this guy... I'm so disappointed in myself this is pure talent 😭😪💯
Litzy Reyes me too. I'm going to get all of his music.
This is his first funk album, but everything else he does is also great imo
Litzy Reyes fr
Litzy Reyes he is multi talented
I mean this album was completely different from all the others. This is the only album of his I like. He executed it really well. As a man in general, I've always had big respect for him though seeing as he's successful in multiple mediums of entertainment.
For the longest I thought it was a female singing. I would at first wait for Childish to come in with a sick verse in the song questioning why the name of the female was never featured. Mind blown
Jaime Rodriguez me too!
Jaime Rodriguez I thought it was Ceelo that's how he sounds
Jaime Rodriguez you aint the only one bruh lmao
Jaime Rodriguez swearr
Jaime Rodriguez same. So different
This guy's voice just murders my brain. So dope.
SAMZIRRA Yes!! Takes me to Marvin Gaye & Teddy P.!!
Right shits insane
That's the way of the world
He can sing deep too.
Charge him.
i had no idea this song wasn't pitch shifted. i have an entirely new respect for him now... jesus christ
What I see here is pure talent, what else can you do man? Fly?
Stand up, rap, act, sing, he can probably communicate with dogs too he's amazing
Pablo DB Little did you know that he can transform into a dog at a whim.
Honestly everyone on stage there has talent and is just fucking awesome. You can the passion in their eyes and the smiles on their faces. It's beautiful.
put a shirt on for starters.....
Young And The Reckless there is no need. What is a shirt even?
boy this is one of the best live performances of the last decade, i am proudly sure of it. We need more Live Gambino.
Layqa S. lmao better than beyonce britney spears and mariyah carey lip syncing
Yes, no shit. Stop flogging a dead horse.
Look at Bruno Mars That's What I like .. its dope
_What redbone would sound like if it was preformed live on the jimmy fallon show._
Baelyn _ yes
If you listen closely, it actually sounds like he's on Jimmy Fallon's show.
Baelyn _ He is
Exactly
No one will ever cover a Donald Glover song and do it any justice
oh please. there are people who's vocal abilities far exceed his.

@@orangemoonglows2692 yeah like, less than 1% of men 😐

I went to his This Is America Tour in Paris back in 2019 and this song was so AMAZING. Ain't no video that can transcribe the chills and thrills you get when he's singing this song. It was THEE BEST song I ever heard live for all my life and I went to a lot of concerts.
I love this man. So talented and hardworking.

I'm stuck on this version.. He put more into it here than any of his other live or pre-recorded versions. Sounding so clear, no autotune here fo sho
No auto tune on the recording too
There’s no autotune on the recording just a filter on his voice, but I get what you mean
Agreed. I heard this one like a hundred times now.
@@Stoffendous 💯Love This Song.. It seems U know abt. this stuff Does Post Malone use auto tune ?? I love him nowadays n I am kinda old. He is Mesmerizing ! ☮
This can be the best live performance he has ever made he is literally living in the song
This is my first time seeing him performing this particular song live and I'm blown away. My god. Raps like a monster, comedic genius and sings like no other actor rapper I've ever heard. Salute Donald Glover! Respect!

Wasnt really rapping tho?

you are so right....thinking the same thing!!!!
Absolutely!
You know it! Prince trying to warn us! Stay woke people! Don't let them catch you!
eh he's no Prince, vocally anyway.
Grassy Harkins he sounds better than Prince, cuz Prince wasn't no vocalist either
I never knew that was him singing... I thought maybe he just produced it and had a ghost singer. that's crazy talent
