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.
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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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*
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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!
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)
@@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 ! ☮
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).
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
I just love the fact that you can see how much he feels the music by his facial expressions and movements. Unfortunately too many other artist are too busy thinking about if they look good or cool to really feel the music physically
PumpkinsnBlackcats Just because Beyoncé puts really much choreo into her performances to make them entertaining, doesnt mean that she is not feeling her music or is less talented. In fact, she is one of the best vocalists out there and a really good dancer too. She creates a whole experience for the viewer with every show while serving insane vocals. Her work ethic is unbelievable thats why she is constantly improving her vocals, dancing, visuals, stages etc. She is a perfectionist and tries to make everything right. When she performs her slower and more sad songs you can really see another side of her , she DOES show emotion and really feels her music without following a strict choreo. She doesnt write all of her Songs herself, thats correct. Doesnt mean she cant relate to it and feel it tho. Both artists worked hard to be where there are right now so we should appreciate both approaches on performing music. What U Like more is of course subjective ^^
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 still can’t believe it wasn’t a woman singing or auto tune. He’s the true definition of a Renaissance man does it all. Comedy, Acts, Sings, Raps, Directs, and produces. Just crazy to me
Y'all need to find some Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, EW&F... Don't get me wrong, Glover is dope af... but understand that these types of songs derive inspiration from and have their roots buried deep in the songs of the 70s. I'm glad real music is still being produced.
I love how he looks completely chill after the performance. As if he didn't just fucking killed it. Seriously, who gave him the permission to be this amazing?
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.
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.
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
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
Is it just me, or does something feel nostalgic about this? It sounds like something from the late 60s-70s with a modern twist. Idk it could just be also that childish Gambino sings with such soul.
Watch the song breakdown by Ludwig(The guy playing guitar who help wrote the song. Also composer of Mandalorian and Tenet ) He said it's based of early psychodelic stuff.(somebody put the link down plz it's a good video)
Oh wow... I thought he was making his voice higher pitched electronically all this time. He can sing really well, he acts really well, he is really funny, he directs really well. What can't this man do? He is truly so talented! I don't think there is anyone who truly has excelled in all the different art categories in his generation and in a long time. I hope he continues to release amazing art for a long time 😄
@@layne182 in the album version the formant is raised higher. so yeah it is technically "electronically manipulated", but the pitch and vocal control is all him.
Thats because it was. With the exception of the lyrics, this is pretty standard stuff. It's like how I Believe in a Thing Called Love, Woman, High Voltage, and Earfquake are, at heart, those same old songs, just with a layer of gloss that makes them current. This song, in particular, is 50% George Michael, and 50% Bobby Brown, musically, with a dash of 89-93's diva groups like En Vogue or SWV, and the solo artists from the men's groups, like Bobby Brown. (I know damn well that is over 100%, but this song has room for at least 101%)A kind of pre-New Jack Swing mixed with Gospel. If you wanted to, you could match every musical phrase directly to something in the past. Take the bass walk down back to the first note. That exact bass tone and walk down is in Everything She Wants, by Wham!(the name has the exclamation in it. I'm not even sort of excited) listen to the call/response part that goes "Somebody tell me (Won't You tell me ooh)
There was a band called Redbone who were active and fairly popular throughout the 70s, they had no albums in the 80s but their music might have still been relevant. Not sure if that explains it.
I love his talent. One of the most talented of our time, and I am not just talking about his voice or music. Everything he does. He has the midas touch. I am a huge fan!
yea you're right, but do you wanna know him more? more than this one song. you can go search for his other songs all composed by him and look at his lyricism, artistry, flow etc. maybe it'll change your mind about him.
Barbie Pena why do you say Midas touch?? You know Midas is just Tyler Perry too she's just one of his characters but she's pretty funny. I like Midas goes to jail and Midas Halloween

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
Kenny Houston You deserve the purple heart.
Kenny Houston haaaaaaaaaa!!!! this is the best comment ever. I'm dying. It's all true tho. lol

Kenny Houston Im weeeeeaaaaak 😂😂😂😂 you are too funnnnnny
Kenny Houston and loves you till 3005
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".
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!
gmizzac Acting as well
Wasnt really rapping tho?
his other songs
gmizzac totally 👍👍
And can direct the hell out of a show
I still say Donald channeled the spirit of Prince for this song.
Prince was still alive lol
@@claudebingham5591 No, Prince died in April of 2016. This song was released late, Nov. 2016 , so likely recorded after Prince died.
@@doctorfeelok8575 its been that long? Holy crap time is moving fast. Maybe you’re right.
Childish took the *"Im not using any autotunes"* phrase to a whole another level
He's good though!
For reall
did you just call him childish
@@sawer6440 thats literally his name
@@M0bileIsCute nobody calls him childish though
I thought he couldn't sing high pitched. Then I remembered Troy's sneezes.
Jeff: “Hey! Troy sneezes like a girl!”
Troy: “and how about I pound you like a boy- that didn’t come out right...”
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)
Lol... i only got this cos I went down a Chevy Chase wormhole recently!!! Hahahaa
Wait omg I didn’t realise they were the same person
Lol
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
So many people saying "no autotune?", it's really a shame that a SINGER needs to impress by showing that he knows how to SING.
Thank you for saying that 🤘🏽😆
It’s probably more or so how high his voice goes when singing this that surprises people that he isn’t pitch shifting it
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).
@@thetruestrepairman7423 The issue is, you clearly have no idea what Autotune is, which is understandable because the name is misleading.
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
The pianist behind is the happiest man on earth
III Stay
thats ludwig... aint it?
So true 😂
I would be too if I could play this song live alongside such a talent singing like that!!
@@firapuroki No I think Ludwig us the person playing the guitar.
I would be too if childish gamblino was singing in front of me
I just love the fact that you can see how much he feels the music by his facial expressions and movements. Unfortunately too many other artist are too busy thinking about if they look good or cool to really feel the music physically
PumpkinsnBlackcats Just because Beyoncé puts really much choreo into her performances to make them entertaining, doesnt mean that she is not feeling her music or is less talented. In fact, she is one of the best vocalists out there and a really good dancer too. She creates a whole experience for the viewer with every show while serving insane vocals. Her work ethic is unbelievable thats why she is constantly improving her vocals, dancing, visuals, stages etc. She is a perfectionist and tries to make everything right. When she performs her slower and more sad songs you can really see another side of her , she DOES show emotion and really feels her music without following a strict choreo. She doesnt write all of her Songs herself, thats correct. Doesnt mean she cant relate to it and feel it tho. Both artists worked hard to be where there are right now so we should appreciate both approaches on performing music. What U Like more is of course subjective ^^
I see what you mea its like people perform the songs with no life and don't even give credit. Kinda like the Ricegum "Ghost Writer" Controvercy.
It helps a lot with the fact that the guy is mega high all the time too.
That's how good actors sing.
He needs to do that to reach falsetto
One of the best tonight show works
I really can't stop to replay this song.... it's been 2 years and a half, now.
help me.
Teo Youssoufian - #CineFacts SAME!!!! I can’t get over this song. I can listen to it everyday 🤷🏻♀️

I’m sorry but I can’t help you..I have very serious addiction with this song either.
Omg same!!

Whew...he channeled his inner Prince!!! Love it!

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.....

@@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.
I never knew that was him singing... I thought maybe he just produced it and had a ghost singer. that's crazy talent
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
I still can’t believe it wasn’t a woman singing or auto tune. He’s the true definition of a Renaissance man does it all. Comedy, Acts, Sings, Raps, Directs, and produces. Just crazy to me
Babila Dinga I say the same thing! Reminds me of Andre 3000's "She Lives In My Lap"
This is not audio tune... This is fallsetto
Babila Dinga dont forget writing!
Y'all need to find some Curtis Mayfield, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, EW&F... Don't get me wrong, Glover is dope af... but understand that these types of songs derive inspiration from and have their roots buried deep in the songs of
the 70s. I'm glad real music is still being produced.

damn right

untitled 4 anyone?
@@maynardj.keenan8957 This is my kind of sarcasm, I love it
I love how he looks completely chill after the performance. As if he didn't just fucking killed it. Seriously, who gave him the permission to be this amazing?
LMAO
seriously tho
Exactly. He looks like he just gave a fuck 😂
Totally in ecstasy hahaha
Who gave him permission?....God! 🙏😊👍
He had to do it live, cause no one was going to believe that he can sing like this
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.
Man... That moment at the end when the music stops and the lights turn on and it looks like gambino just got pulled out of another world.
So true!!
i was thinking the same thing like it wasn't him or something when he was singing lol....
Jungle Buck them spirits wsd singin fo him
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.
FOR REAL
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
the long hair guitarist is Ludwig Göransson , who did the sound track for Nolan's TENET and Star wars Tv series The Mandalorian
Wanna make a guess where he got his first gig?
@@arandomguy9518 Oh .... Disney ? ( No idea please do tell ^_^ )
@@justjack1888 nope it's Community (a tv show of which Donald Glover was a permanent cast member)
ARandomGuy 0_0 thanks ! I only know about this show recently ( I ain’t American) , I must watch this show some day.
Not to mention he's been working with Donald he helped produce most of his second project as well!!
Getting Prince vibes & it feels so gud!💖
When this started playin at the beginning of "Get Out"....knew the movie was gonna be good.
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
BDuBB904 I did the same thing but after I got out of the theatre and found this...awesome song!
shawn johnson BOYYYY SAME ME AND MY FRIEND WE WAS HOWLINGGG THE WHOLE SONG START TO END I KNEW THE MOVIE WOULD BE LIT
Is it just me, or does something feel nostalgic about this? It sounds like something from the late 60s-70s with a modern twist. Idk it could just be also that childish Gambino sings with such soul.
Probably the sample
@Andrew Peterson could you please tell me what that song that is?
@@mollziexoxo1560 I'd rather be with you by Bootsy Collins
NWA remixed it in the early 90s as “I Rather F$CK You”
Watch the song breakdown by Ludwig(The guy playing guitar who help wrote the song. Also composer of Mandalorian and Tenet )
He said it's based of early psychodelic stuff.(somebody put the link down plz it's a good video)
This audience didn't deserve to hear that magic.

Redbone one of his worst? lmfao you gotta be kidding bruh

He went straight Prince on this one.
He's giving me late 90's D'Angelo with the falsetto
I thought it was prince when I first heard it
max2082 I thought it was Macy Grey.
max2082 hahaha same here
not better than him
Oh wow... I thought he was making his voice higher pitched electronically all this time. He can sing really well, he acts really well, he is really funny, he directs really well. What can't this man do? He is truly so talented! I don't think there is anyone who truly has excelled in all the different art categories in his generation and in a long time. I hope he continues to release amazing art for a long time 😄
It's a black thing R&b is the first Genre
Him ànd Kanye, sis.❤
Janelle Monae…
I was 100% convinced that it was electronically pitched and I'm blown away by how well he's singing.
@@layne182 in the album version the formant is raised higher. so yeah it is technically "electronically manipulated", but the pitch and vocal control is all him.

*Idk why when I heard "Redbone" I thought it was an old 80's song and I have heard it before I was born*
Same, thought it was the only Prince song I hadn't heard
Ong
Thats because it was. With the exception of the lyrics, this is pretty standard stuff. It's like how I Believe in a Thing Called Love, Woman, High Voltage, and Earfquake are, at heart, those same old songs, just with a layer of gloss that makes them current.
This song, in particular, is 50% George Michael, and 50% Bobby Brown, musically, with a dash of 89-93's diva groups like En Vogue or SWV, and the solo artists from the men's groups, like Bobby Brown. (I know damn well that is over 100%, but this song has room for at least 101%)A kind of pre-New Jack Swing mixed with Gospel. If you wanted to, you could match every musical phrase directly to something in the past.
Take the bass walk down back to the first note. That exact bass tone and walk down is in Everything She Wants, by Wham!(the name has the exclamation in it. I'm not even sort of excited) listen to the call/response part that goes
"Somebody tell me
(Won't You tell me ooh)
fr i couldn’t believe it wasn’t an old song i thought it was just a cover or sampled beat for so long😭
There was a band called Redbone who were active and fairly popular throughout the 70s, they had no albums in the 80s but their music might have still been relevant.
Not sure if that explains it.
This song will go down in history
erastus shingenge nah no one will care in a few months from now

erastus shingenge I think you mean *on

I love his talent. One of the most talented of our time, and I am not just talking about his voice or music. Everything he does. He has the midas touch. I am a huge fan!
Barbie Pena he was great in community too, so a great actor too!
We need more music like this
yea you're right, but do you wanna know him more? more than this one song. you can go search for his other songs all composed by him and look at his lyricism, artistry, flow etc. maybe it'll change your mind about him.
Barbie Pena You need help with the definition of talent?
Barbie Pena why do you say Midas touch?? You know Midas is just Tyler Perry too she's just one of his characters but she's pretty funny. I like Midas goes to jail and Midas Halloween
