Artists like this should be the backbone of the music industry. They bust their ass then get noticed for their efforts and hard work...not hey you're pretty, let's autotune you and give you a record deal and a grammy
It's amazing how she became so famous she used to be homeless.
I was homeless once to it was horrible.
You literally made tears flow down through my eyes man. When I see homeless people I barely can sleep at night mostly thinking of them how they do. I wish I was a millionaire to be able to help the ones in need. But you can't help them all with your limited budget. I'm just glad and very happy to read that you aren't homeless anymore. At least you are the one who best empathizes with their situations
yea...but it's different when it's a choice versus not being a choice...she chose that path. I don't feel bad.
This song came out shortly before my cat (named monkey) died, and whenever we would hear it after his death, we would always take it as a sign
Kudos to that manager who recognized her talent and provided the help he could. Amazing!
NO ONE BEATS "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT"
A person with a beautiful face and voice!!
She’s right. I remember hearing in the new music segment of The Heidi & Frank Show and I instantly loved it. It was so good they played it twice back to back.
I love this song and your voice! I was bored the other night at the club, picked up my phone and held it to my ear to hear this song.....ah what a relief! Great pick me up! Thanks!
Her voice brings tears to my eyes when she sings and hits those notes soulful
That's a man the voice is pitched
Any producer can spot that Si
@@Tune_Sky sauce?
You need to expand your musical taste. She sucks
Luv this underdog story- You Go Girl !! Haunting voice. You killed it !
You are talented and you deserve all the good things happening to you.

@@PutinosauRUS ummm no she's beautiful and pefect as she is, stop body shaming we are in 2023 like come on!
The first time I heard this song I was feeling down and the song made me temp ignore what was bothering me. I still go back to this song when I need to distract my thoughts
Aww she has a beautiful voice
Annoying more like it

you deserve those recognition .. enjoy what you are doing .. ♥️
Fire 🔥 hits the soul hard asf
Awesome song!!!
It’s been a really strange day I found a hat with loads of cash in it, and then next minute I was being chased by an angry guy with a guitar ☹️
She is amazing !
I love her so....💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡
Great vid
Unique voice.
Such a sweetheart she is. So beautiful and bright :)
Amazing
THIS GIRL ROCKS
Heart ❤️
Absolutely addictive song ,well done tones !
The song may have been inspired from a really tough night as a street performer but the social ramifications in this song are so deep! At 55 years old I don't know anybody who has not been, or will not be somebody's dance monkey. Sadly there's way too many people in the world who want to control us and they are very very good at getting us to comply
Talented young girl.
Humble young lady!
wishing her well and many blessings. Becoming an overnight global sensation is no easy road especially if you lived a simple life.
Bruh I got goosebumps at this story man
Topper,record. Breaker. She's good??
She's brill .A Star . Athing? That shines in the sky writes lyrics and self taught player. Girl is a heart and traffic stopper❤❤
Wow just discovered this artist
Stand up god bless❤💕
the manager is the real m.v.p
👏 🎶 ❤
It is a chart topper in a sea of crappy artists. Unfortunately anyone w access to social media now can be a star. Like island boys and tekashi69. But she’s different. She’s actually good.
You say unfortunately like this isn't worth it, Disney taught us to slay a few dragons before you catch the princess.
Ella tiene talento y eso importa mucho
A big sea of crappy artist definitely. She is included.
@albertdavila6808 regardless of taste, is a talented artist and has a lot more skill than most. You don't have to like her music to respect all that she can do. And no I'm not a fan, I'm not into her style of singing (her voice is a great display of talent and skill, although not for me, and apparently you). I hate using the term hater but in some cases it can't be argued, a pseron is either clueless or hating.
@@TrustMelDontCare still crappy!
Oh my God this girl's voice is wonderful keep going honey you're doing awesome and you're so natural and not phony I love that about you people will love you forever
Did anyone noticed how she says same word by 3× lined up on interview like in the song check it out. @0:32 And people wanting 3× 1.more and 2.more and 3.more from me. @0:58 And i started practicing 3× 1.every day, 2.every day, 3.every day. @1:22 So he was with me from the 3× 1.very, 2.very, 3.very start. LOL.
She has a unique voice good vibes
I buried my great grandad t this...didn't go down as well as I imagined...they don't talk to me
She’s is absolutely AWESOME big heart 🙏❤🇦🇺
I knew the song had a deep sad meaning behind....how ironic to have that song explode and have have to play it constantly...
Like a Beautiful Lament....
This is one of the most exceptional people alive today. I think that's inarguable.
Great story, excuse the dumb question, but what is busking ? 😁
In case you haven't found out yet, being a busker and busking is being a street performer.
@@darleneredden3251
Thank you. I had no idea. This term isn't used in Canada where I live, at least not to the best of my knowledge 😄.
Thanks 👍🍻
@@googlreviews7813 it isn't used in the US either. I had to look it up
Well deserved. And well earned.
dude, theres a scary ghost lady behind her 😱😱
OH EM GEE😶🌫🥸🤯😭😱
What does busk mean?
To play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money.
Weird how 130 odd comments and 100,000 plus views ???
she mastered a song flawlessly
Brilliant singer ❤
Who is the girl behind her?
Love her she’s true❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy for her ❤️🏆
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, & HUMBLE.
the chick from The Ring in the background freaked me out.
And the best part… drum roll please….. NO AUTO TUNES NEEDED!
I never knew she was Australian. Growing up in Brisbane I am ashamed that I didn't know this.
please dont quit preforming
Song is amazing.
Did she say anything about why it sounds like a monkey is singing it? (I mean in a good way).
I think it really adds to the song if even if it wasn't intentional.
Cute girl from the land down under
Is she aussie or did she move to Australia?
Yes, but I wonder if he also 'loaded the dishwasher'?
But she didn’t reference the actual monkeys back in the day that had to dance so their owner could get some money. Thats where the term came from. The organ grinder and the monkey
Plz what name ledy...
Is there a story behind why she changed the song from dance monkey to dance for me? I think it was a brilliant move because in today's society dance monkey could have negative connotations.
.
As strange as this sounds, now it seems more appropriate for an over the top video to be made to it.
Let her alone! How many rude people messing with her appearance in coment section, let her alone
Mir fehlt leider eine Übersetzung weil ich ein Vortrag halten muss
It's sad because those behind the scenes players like Simon and record companies got 95% of her earnings and that is why new artists like" walk of the earth " ( billions of views) signed on their terms! That young lady got robbed blind like backstreet boys, n'sync, avril lavigne... i could go all day with names that got robbed...
Wats busking mean?
Basically, singing or playing music on the street for money.
we always see this strugling people on the street singing and there is a place to put your money
Aber trotzdem danke
You really don't need to be a "one hit artist". I think you can more than that; meaning several hits shouldn't be impossible at all fore you!
This reminds me of the Johnny Depp story, if that guy had not found her at that right time, she’d be singing dance monkey in the streets still. All success comes from God’s handpicked grace.
It's ironic that the song led to exactly what the song was about.
Im Italian American and I just wanna say anglophone countries is where you want to live if you want to succeed or to live in the present … Italy and many countries in Europe are DEAD and they are living in the past. Italy Spain Greece Portugal good countries to live when you want to retire. Only France and Germany are the non anglophone country that follows Uk Us Australia Canada Ireland etc
Young lady the Creator gave you a voice sing
I gotta be honest here....This is NOT what i thought this song was about....I thought it was about a stripper...lol
Talented women
Cmon... byron bay isnt mainly known for its buskers, but for another hobby.
Weed capitol of Australia baby
she’s faking a hispanic accent in the song wtf lol
Seems racist
Take that silly hat off
lol what? She’s just vibin and doin her thing. Not all girls need to wear expensive ass dresses and doll themselves up just to go to the mall.
You put some neurons because you really need it
Toni is real, very pretty, and an awesome musician. Im 46 years young, i love her songs and the journey she has been on, well done! Dont make negative comments, you dont know her full journey...accept people for who they want to be! Thankyou tones, for the relatable songs, staying down to earth, true aussie spirit, right there. Never change your look or dance style, it makes it you the unique person, fans love 😊
Jēsus yessssss!!!!!!!!
you don't own her mister...she can wear whatever she wants...why don't you go mind ur own business...if anything this comment is silly so why don't you take this comment off!
(dont wanna be rude) But How the f can you say in the comment that its a pretty girl wtf
But You are being rude
Wdym??????
She's gourgus just because she doesn't have pumped lips skinny and all of that nonsense doesn't mean that she isn't pretty smh
