Sara Bareilles performs "King of Anything" in studio for Billboard. From her latest album Kaleidoscope Heart. Videographers: Jeff Chan, Courtney Baldasare & Rebecca Gleason Editor: Steve Hwang
Can we talk about the band for a second? Like, she is amazing but that band is sooo tight! The harmonies are incredible. Ugh, just a group of amazing musicians, including Sara.
don't know if anyone else appreciates this, but, it's not just Sara that makes this song (live) absolutely amazing. The timing of her bandmates and her tempo(s), the claps, the drum beats, the interludes of each voices into each other.... quite amazing.
I am nuts about this performance. It's so garage-y, and I love how unabashedly "homely" she is with sloppy hairdo falling into her face and no frill or fuss, just sensible shoes and keyboard and that KILLER VOICE and affect. I love the clapping guy on the right, and I love the lack of autotune or any studio mopup. This is the real stuff, better than the recording. Love it! Go Sara
Wow, I knew she was talented but holy crap, she sounds just as good if not better than the studio version! I love how they all played off each other and seemed so comfortable together- it really helped build the dynamic of the song. I love the message of this song- it's beautiful from all angles, music video, live performance, and on the radio too! For me, that's real music. :D
Sara B. is listed by Rolling Stone as one of the Top 100 Female singer / songwriters of All-time ! Great message about Sticking up for Yourself and Don't Let others bully you around ! The harmonies are very tight ! Outstanding keyboard playing ! Lovely smile at the End !
I just Love Sara Bareilles now!!!! I discovered her when she opened for James Blunt on Tour In 2008 at The Keswick Theater in out side Philadelphia And I was ''WOW "''' What a voice and loving her ever since!! Keep up the great talent you offer us Sara!!!
Wow... She sounds the same live as she does on the radio, that is saying something! Incredible!! You know she is a natural when she doesn't even have to use auto tune. :D

I like the natural way she sings, she moves, she looks - she's so real! She really feels the music and that's what makes her so exceptional!!
I thought the same exact thing. 🤙💚
this is one of the few artists who DONT sound different from being live and on a recorded cd.
love this song :D
13 yrs ago, and I am still rooting for Sarah 🎉
This stripped-down arrangement is perfection. When you have this kind of talent your band doesn't need auto-tune or a pre-recorded backing track.
You know why I love Sara? Because she's real. She sounds exactly the same live and in music videos.
same, friend
don't know if anyone else appreciates this, but, it's not just Sara that makes this song (live) absolutely amazing. The timing of her bandmates and her tempo(s), the claps, the drum beats, the interludes of each voices into each other.... quite amazing.
Can I just say, the backing vocals from this bassist are superb. Top notch work.
i remember watching this everyday, cant believe its already been was 5 years
+Brian Usi Me too. :-)
like this comment so much 😍
wowwwww now that is true talent. Its so rare to find an artist who can sing that good live.
Sounding that good in an acoustic setting is the mark of true talent. I cannot understand why she is not more popular.
She's so attractive. Don't care what anyone says 😍
No shit sherlock! 😍
I had a massive crush after i saw this video years back.....
And i think it comes back with every re-viewing :p
She's extremely charming that's for sure.
Charming for sure and I love her beautiful nose
Whoever says she's not attractive must be blind.
Refreshing to hear a pure voice without studio touchup. Her voice is the song. Not the exaggerated tremolo of the current crop of Divas
What a Masterpiece! 2023 still not over it!
She looks so adorable at the end after she finishes the song... So cute! :3 ♥
I love the giggles she made at the end! Such a talented individual.
she sounds better live! aww :3
This is her best song. I try to clap along. and fail
She's so beautiful!
If ever I got the chance to sing with Sara, I could die happy. She's an amazing artist, right at the top of my range, and her songs are so incredible!
That smile at the end... :)
Her voice is just AMAZING!! :) Listening to her songs all day long!!!
One of the few singer-songwriters out there that sounds as good live as on the album. Really talented musician.
Wow, this was three years ago? Where did the time go.
That's for sure! No more ripped nylons for her now though...

Excellent message! Love it... Live your truth.
She is so beautiful! !!

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be! Who died and made you king of anything?

Is that guy in the back playing a clipboard?
No He's Playing A Crate :-)
It's called a cajón.

The way she smiles at the end of the video just makes me melt. She is so pretty.
"Bro, you want a drum set or something?"
"Nah, I just got this box and shit."
Gosh. her voice is sooo heavenly!
She has nice teeth
She is soooooo good live! Coodos to her for not being like most of the new pop singers who can't actually sing live
First time I heard Sara was on XM radio and boy was I hooked. So talented, a true artist. I love this lady!!!
She's absolutely beautiful in anything she does! Such a great talent.
