I really don't know why everyone seems surprised at this performance! If you've been a Shirley fan like I have for 60 years and counting you'd know this lady is capable of anything! And in a career of 66 years she's proved it time and time again. Phenomenal.
It was cute! No disrespect to Ms. Bassey because I love her body of work. But she only has style of singing that comes across when I hear hear her, Pop, rock, Rhythm and blues is not it. But as fan and people like yourself, and other people like me who is open to all styles and sounds of music would only appreciate the effort. There is only one Diva! God rest her soul, that was able to do it all and capture all generations of fans despite her horrific addiction that messed with her voice over the years and tragic murder by the powers that be, is Ms. Whitney Houston. Like her or not! Respect her or not, deny it, or agree with me! No one could never take that from her until the next one comes along in the future.
I hope P!nk realizes what an honor and a privilege it is to have her song covered by Shirley Bassey. Even watching her now 2022 in her mid 80s taking the stage to sing Goldfinger, it just gives you chills.
I feel ashamed that after 12 years I'm knowing this beautiful cover!! damn!! Shirley sings beautiful she's a diva!! love it!!! the arranging was excellent!
What a lady, what an amazing performer. This song is perfect for her. I'm priveliged I got to kiss the hand of this great lady during a concert at Blackpool Opera House in the year 2000, she also gave me a carnation. A lovely lady.
Wow!I actually like it better than the original. Has that James Bond flavor to it.Sounds jazzy & romantic. And oh,that voice -powerful! Dame Shirley Bassey forever. Respect darling!
I've always loved this song. But man, Shirley Bassey made it her own! And I love the whole 60s James Bond thing. And she was 70 when she did this? She looks and sounds fierce! Take a lesson, young singers. When you can nail a song like this at her age, THEN you're a legend!
I love this woman so much. Spent all of the 60s and 70s not liking her because my father considered her ‘pop music’ and ridiculed everything she did. But when she did ‘All The Sad Young Men’ I cried buckets and couldn’t deny her any longer. You absolutely rock, Dame Shirley, and you outsing this daft pop song by a million starry miles. I’m SO glad you got to revive Goldfinger for the Bond anniversary. Good bless you, you gorgeous woman…😍
_Ballad Of The Sad Young Men_ is also one of my all-time favs!!! ... It's pure brilliance how she brings out every emotion in those powerful lyrics to create a truly poignant masterpiece! 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
Shirley has such a strong, beautiful voice that I would be able to identify immediately. Such enormous power. She is one of my favorite artists of all time
the story!!! the lyrics!! the passion the emotion! i love the cinematography and lighting and attention to detail. i mean you thought about everything even the credits... beautiful
This is as good as it gets. Shirley Bassey is unique. She started her career way back in the fifties and is still enthralling her vast following of fans in all age groups.
Powerful Vocal, Body and Appearance. Dame Shirley Bassey is timeless and greatest entertainer of all time!GOTHIC theme is excellent choice adding unique vibes to it.
I was going through a bad time 15 years ago, and this performance was such a wonderful escapist listen. Now in 2023, I'm happier in every dimension of my life and it's good to go back to pay homage to this ELECTRIC woman and her voice.
This song sounds like ive just been captured by my main villain and now they've tied me up so that they can make me watch their rehearsed musical number (and of course I mean this in a loving way)
Pink's version was more "in your face" and sweaty...the kind of song that makes you move till you sweat on the dance floor. Shirley's version is more polished and sophisticated The best version depends on your perceptions. Different strokes for different folks! PS: Shirley was 70 when she recorded this video and she was looking like a stone cold *FOX* (like the old people say...lol.)
LadySoul502 sing it... Wouldn't surprise me if my mum's family helped her in all respects, as a "Wiener Head" / Habsburg (the young lad holding the falcon at start)/British-Scottish-French and Russian aristocrat who knows north of 20 languages, can school most American doctors in many areas of health, as well as the lawyers lol, so, I'm not ashamed of my heritage. I normally NEVER comment on these, but, I AGREE#
This is a fantastic cover, but I think what I love the most is that she is obviously having a wonderful time doing it. :) As a side note, it's nice to see men used in a synchronized floor routine (as opposed to the usual scantly clad women), and the choregraphy and visuals are equally classy and well executed.
@@maximslantzev7400 Yeah, people only say it sounds like it should be in a Bond film because Shirley Bassey's sound and the Bond films have become so intertwined. Her Bond themes are so iconic that all Bond songs tend to lean towards the Shirley Bassey style. So, all of her songs end up sounding like Bond themes to a degree 'cause she basically is the voice of the Bond films! Love her! 😊
This is freaking fantastic. Reminds me of the song she did with PropellerHeads. Loved that too. Her powerful controlled vocals mixed with music that you'd think would clash in style, surprisingly are beautifully complimentary.
The fabulous Miss Shirley Bassey ❤❤❤
This looks like Bob Fosse choreographed a James Bond opening. Sounds like a Bond song too. Shirley Bassey is amazing
like JAMES BOND at RIVIERA.....
She makes it sound like a lost Bond theme. These sounds so awesome
She sang several Bond themes.
Al comenzar a oírla me llevó directamente a los temas de 007 por el acompañamiento orquestal.
It really should've been...
That's the same exact thing I thought. She's so James Bond-y! 😁
@@Ckawauchi35 she sang the theme song for Goldfinger
Imagine being able to sing like this at at 70 years of age. Shirley's voice is amazing.
Yes, and she'll be 87 in a week. That's pretty phenomenal too!
A true Legend 👍🏻
Can we say Cher
An looking like she does.
I love it when artists cover a song you'd never think would be their thing and completely own it.
Johnny Cash, "Hurt".
Own it? She grabbed it by the cojones and milked it! Pink who?
Ms . Bassey ownes all.
@@ProtoNeoVintage That was terrible
@@godfreypigott funny. The guy who wrote the song didn't think so.
Not only does she sing great, but she looks fantastic.
😂
She is a freak of nature. The Voice is like liquid gold. Her mature poise. She breathes life into her performances.

Have you heard her "history repeating" with Propeller Heads
Some of us aren’t that old 🤷🏻♀️
@@MissStephy100 okay? I knew her since I was 6 and I was born in 87, that’s not an excuse
This WAS awesome! Thank you for posting. DA

Wait. I thought Pink covered the song not the other way around
In the Glamour video titled "Pink Watches Fan Covers On TH-cam" she said it's her "favorite version ever".
@@mr.movieandtvguy5310 Nope. Pink's song is from 2001, the cover sung by Dame Shirley Bassey is from 2007.
@@SirioNovilunium Interesting. I guess you do learn things everyday don't you?
@@mr.movieandtvguy5310 Yes. I personally think learning new things is one of the most interesting aspects of life.
What can I say... Dame Shirley Bassey. She is amazing! Neat choreography. Love it! Ah! those dancers! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Plus the dresses and suits!
The Bond theme we never knew we needed.
Dame Shirley Bassey has the Golden Touch. Any song she covers becomes a Bond Villain classic.
Love that they used this to do a james bond style intro for cats and dogs 2. Made the movie even better.
This is perfect for the next Cruella film!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
力強くソウルフルな歌声がかっこいい！
モノクロの映像の中、赤いドレスの存在感がすばらしい
This version sounds like something you'd hear in a James Bond movie!
It is so James Bond
Jackie McCann It should. Shirley Bassey performed two James Bond themes in the 1960's and 1970's.
who is the 1st sing this song? shirley or Pink ?
alvin wijaya pink
this is from cats vs dogs the movie but it would come from a james bond movie
I feel ashamed that after 12 years I'm knowing this beautiful cover!! damn!! Shirley sings beautiful she's a diva!! love it!!! the arranging was excellent!
I add it more 2 years then.
This is awesome cover.
Just found this is 2022. Better late than never.
I know right!
I'm hearing it for the first time in 2023.
Even Pink prefers this version lol.....I'd pay to hear Shirley sing the phonebook
Donny Hathaway what was her reaction?
RIGHT !!! Makes want to go get songs from lesser artist and say hey Ms. Bassy sassy this one lol!!!
@@a-aron2751 Look up Pink react to fan covers .
So would I. Love Shirley Bassey! Her sound is so iconic and epic. You'd never mistake her for anyone else.
It's like Johnny Cash covering Hurt. Some people are so legendary they make any song their own.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, I guess just a Shirley Bassey song, but the fact that it's a Pink cover got me off guard.
Shirley is phenomenal. I’ve been a fan for gotta say 40 years and I have seen her in concert many many many many times.
What a lady, what an amazing performer. This song is perfect for her. I'm priveliged I got to kiss the hand of this great lady during a concert at Blackpool Opera House in the year 2000, she also gave me a carnation. A lovely lady.
I want to hear her with Tom Jones.
Awesome: that´s how a REAL diva should look and sound at her 70th birthday. Dame Shirley ROCKS :-)
lzclaudio1 True dat.
Yesssss!
And this is how you sing a song
Wow!I actually like it better than the original. Has that James Bond flavor to it.Sounds jazzy & romantic. And oh,that voice -powerful! Dame Shirley Bassey forever. Respect darling!
I can't believe she did a cover of this. But that voice is GAWDLY! I love her voice in this song!

Bob on!
Real shit though. And not just a legend, a Diva.
Jon Thomas agree!
Jon Thomas True, but age has nothing to do with music. Generally, you are looking at her techniques while singing.
She's 70?!
I love this woman so much. Spent all of the 60s and 70s not liking her because my father considered her ‘pop music’ and ridiculed everything she did.

Sounds like a James Bond villan song! It's 2023 baby 🥂🥂🥂🥂
How about Cats & Dogs The Revenge of Kitty Galore?
the story!!! the lyrics!! the passion the emotion! i love the cinematography and lighting and attention to detail. i mean you thought about everything even the credits... beautiful
My God... what a voice! A real Diva! What a performance and stage posture! Simply divine!
She can literally do no wrong. What a voice. What class. Amazing
_"State your business."_

Damn it Shirley ! This works and that voice!!!
Dame Shirley Bassey - class all the way and such an iconic voice
Yeah😁😁❤❤
A true diva stock doesn’t get any better than choreography and execution. Thank you so much.❤❤❤
I like how she kind of cracks up when she says "you'll be kissing my ass" at 2:01.
My favorite part
She says "Glass"
@@eduardonascimento4 no she doesn't
@@eduardonascimento4 shes saying ass
She's saying arse as any Brit would!

I never appreciated this version when I heard it as a teen. Now, I'm digging it.
This sounds so Awesome !!! Real Jamesbondesque❤😂
Just pure joy , the ultimate woman & enjoying life, brilliant 😂❤
My Saturday party started last week as my 47th birthday party 🤭 thanks my gorgeous Dame Shirley Bassey. ❤️
I absolutely love this version!!! She really made this song her own and very classy. Love Dame Shirley. A true legend, icon and diva.
Pop and classical put together is such a great combination.
A "Real True" Diva.....Dame Shirley Bassey...
The Best of the Best !!!!!

Classy Bassey.
The quintessential DIVA Shirley Bassey!
If i was a singer this one i would like to be. Amazing, fantastic,one of the kind Shirley Bassey. We are all lucky to have her.
She sounds like and looks like she could be a Bond Girl right now!What a Woman!
She sung 3 themes. So she has the sound down pat.
Imagine Shirley & Pink duet! I'm there for it. 😂🎉🎉🎉
We need a new tradition of turning pop songs in to epic James Bondesque masterpieces
Dame Shirley Bassey is timeless.
Indeed!!
I read this as "damn, Shirley Bassey is timeless" which works too
Love the powerful n energic voice of Pink sang this song, but Shirley is different Bond’s way ❤❤❤❤ love both version ❤🎉
About time they let Shirley sing another bond theme! Let's face it she is the sound of Bond.
So true!
No truer words were ever spoken. My compliments.
And to this day, Goldfinger remains my favourite official Bond song.
jamiegrifter yup
She is Bond royalty, the undisputed Queen!!!
And she is still killing it in her 80s! She needs to do another bond song!
Just ❤ EPIC! ❤
A true Diva. Pure class!
Love a lot of Pink’s music, and her music is part of my generation. But this song comes alive with Dame Bassey in a way it never did before.
I was going through a bad time 15 years ago, and this performance was such a wonderful escapist listen. Now in 2023, I'm happier in every dimension of my life and it's good to go back to pay homage to this ELECTRIC woman and her voice.
DSB - like no other. There is no other voice like hers. In a class of her own. Blessed to know your work. ❤
Exactly what this song needed - not the amazing vocals, but the eyes wide shut backup dancers.
This song sounds like ive just been captured by my main villain and now they've tied me up so that they can make me watch their rehearsed musical number (and of course I mean this in a loving way)
Both the Pink version and this version are awesome

FABULOUS
This is bad ass!
Shirley is having a lot of fun in this video.
She is incredible!! Love her voice!! Still a catch on her 70’s...

Pinks version is a screamer, but fi you want a song to have "Diva" written all over it, it's GOT to be Shirley Bassey!
Still Going Strong,Ms. Bassey just doesn't seem to stop, the voice of so many generations love it.
This is a fantastic cover, but I think what I love the most is that she is obviously having a wonderful time doing it. :) As a side note, it's nice to see men used in a synchronized floor routine (as opposed to the usual scantly clad women), and the choregraphy and visuals are equally classy and well executed.

new years eve in paris brought me here. it was amazing!!!
Great song. Great interpretation by Shirley Bassey. Such an incredible voice.
Just wondering how honoured Pink felt and must be feeling tired eternity. Such an honour that some of us can only dream of.
Holy crap! I can’t believe I’m just discovering this! This is everything I love and live for!
I just said the same damn thing! WTH I was 20 when this came out!
Sameer
A year later and still resonates with me!
I never liked this song until I heard this version, which is brilliant. I love this.
The original one is good but Shirley took it to another level. So powerful, vibrant and graceful♥️🎙️💃
Agreed, one million percent!
"This should be in a James Bond/Spy movie"

Love the part where she can't stop laughing on"you'll be kissing my arse". Great version & yes, very bond-like.
Spectacular performance. The arrangement and oh, her voice!
Jaw drop!
Wow what a cool and beautiful take on this. You made it your own!!
As soon as I heard the first bar I could tell it was Shirley bassey. The arrangement is classic Bond film. Good show!
Both the Pink version and this version are awesome
Pink goes down in a ball of flames compared to this masterpiece

Ezra Izrael ..lol
Awesome lady. Argentinian new fan over here.
There will never be a voice like hers. Love you for ever Shirley. Greetings from Chile.

Dame Shirley Bassey is a powerhouse not to mess with
She is the epitome of a classy woman. Wow! Gorgeous.
