Man if she has the flu forreal, she really survived it very well and held it down and did her thing, its really hard to sing sick, but geez the flu? That's super hard! Either way her and the band are so dope
If you have real flu, you can't even get out of bed for a week a d you feel so bad you want to die and it takes another week to recover so I guess she had a cold
And just all of you naysayers know: Syd had literally been singing only 4 years...they were on tour at the time...and she had the flu when this performance took place. I think that she did an amazing job!! The entire band is fire!!
You can see it in her face that something isn't right. That's why I came to the comments. But finding out she had the flu, thatvmakes sense. She did great.
May we please have: • D’Angelo • Dwele • Moon Child • INC (two brothers) • Summer Walker • Angie Stone • Syleena Johnson • Carl Thomas • Bobby V • Frank Ocean • Van Hunt • Tiffany Gouche • Sam Smith • Gwen Bunn • SIR (Thank You Tiny Desk staff)
Jesus Christ what an incredible sound! Man I'm glad I have insomnia tonight and decided to check out some of the newer tiny desk concerts, another gem found.
It sounds wrong to say, but I could listen to The Internet play instrumentals like this all freaking day. The fact that Syd has such a crazy voice on top of it is literally icing on the cake here.
Syd the Kyd's really got a nice falsetto/head voice. I hope this group never stops bringing new soil to the music universe. That band is nothing short of vibin'!!!
Just in case anyone cares, I saw them live this year in February and it was literally the best concert I've ever been to! I met them too and they were all very humble and nice towards their fans. They didn't deny one autograph/picture ❤️
Vocally this band sounds better in the studio but the musicians never disappoint, I’m always rooting for them to get that Grammy nod real soon. Their albums are my peace of mind!!!
+joseph daignault It's good to have a break, I went from Venetian Snares to Abyssal and now I'm here and I'm so happy to discover that they did a Tiny Desk Concert
Interesting there's some bands I been getting into lately like igorrr Brian eno Corpo mente flying lotus pig destroyer and the Internet is def up there cause I love their acid jazz sound which jazz is a fav genre of mine.
I wonder how Jameel’s departure will affect he sound on the new album? He was dope. Maybe they will feature more guitar riffs from the young dude (forgot his name)
I literally could (and usually do) listen to them everyday. This is my favorite band in the world!! Thank God for these beautifully designed people. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
tpain and npr do not go together plus HE CAN SING.,,id tune into that autotune or not. good day EDIT: Tankl & tha bangas did MORE songs and NO ONE had heard of them like that. so eff your high or low profile. its what the artists are comfy doing.
Live vocals have never been this band's strong point, but they make up for it melodically, and with their songwriting and just overall good vibes. It's hard not to root for this band. They need to know what songs sound good live and what doesn't. They should create songs that work for Syd live. The larger they become the more live performances they will have. Dope tho
+Tony Spade you know what? hopefully live they can use full backing and vocals to get close to what we listen to on the cd. this is a deconstructed performance. lets see what they do when i see them in concert.
+Tony Spade It's weird I always attribute this to Janet Jackson. She popularized soft, yet complex vocal melodies. It worked for Janet live, because that was her voice. But other artists such as Aaliyah and Syd the Kid choose it as a stylistic choice in the studio, but it never worked for them in a live setting, because their voices weren't much denser than what they did in the studio. Still dope though.
+Tony Spade It's so weird though because I've seen them live twice now and the vocals have been flawless, I think sometimes the recordings don't do them any justice. Her voice has definitely grown with each performance though you can tell!
+Tony Spade The vocals are very well done here. Unfortunate that some listeners of heavily produced genres apparently lack the musical experience and context to understand what aspects of a finished vocal sound they hear on a recording are the result of the original source sound (voice into microphone) and what aspects are the result of various production techniques that they should not expect to be reproduced live. The complaints about the vocals on this video seem to be entirely over the fact that listeners are not hearing the textures they hear on the album recordings. No shit... the vocals on the album are recorded in isolation, carefully compressed, equalized, widened in various ways, very often doubled, tripled, etc., include harmonies, and are incorporated in the final mixes in various ways (compression and EQ buses, etc.) that are not realistic to reproduce in this live environment. What you hear in the video is very well done unprocessed singing that likely sounds very close to the source vocal takes used in the album tracks before they've been doubled, widened, compressed, eq'd, mixed, etc.
stethoscanomaly My point was they should create songs that are truer to Syds natural abilities, so that when the live performance arrives the delivery doesn't fall flat. Pharrell had to learn the same thing.
What a mindboggling set, not only the best version of don'cha. perfect vocals and perfect band. up there with my favourite tiny desks, absolute treat and lovely on this rainy British day.
#Gerald SWAGGERTON when I first heard her voice without knowing how she look . I was like damn she's probably bad cause her voice is so sexy but when I goggle her I was like damn she's looks like feminine Lupe fiasco. she's still talented tho. @Mieshia Dyches
I think it's pretty messed up that in our generation people are amazed that a singer from a group can actually sing live, I mean it's their only job! Back in the day if you couldn't sing, you didn't sing.
the Internet is just a breath of fresh air. ..they are playing live instruments. ...not samples, however I do samples music myself. ...but still they are the perfect group out now.
That bass and the chords on keys (ノへ￣、) So gooooood! especially on Under Control. The bass line, keyboard chords, and lyrics fit like a finished puzzle.
we NEED another Tiny Desk with The Internet in 2020!!!! With Steve too
I'm in los angeles, they still doing live shows? I'm trying to see them. Let me know.
Zerina Ahmad yesss they’ve gotten way more hits since then , wonderful Steve lacy joined , honestly Steve lacy should have a tiny desk concert tooo 😭💔
Fr tho 😭
YESSS
Truth syd looked and sounded rough in this she can do so much better and I meed some Lacey
A much underrated band, still listening in 2024!
nobody understands the deep love i have for this band. They're like nothing else.
I agree
im heavily into them like wow they are real as hell
Listen to Hiatus Kiyote
+Corey Davis omg hiatus kaiyote yes! been listening to them all week.
+Corey Davis omg i love them!
We need Steve Lacy on a tiny desk concert pronto
Yessssssssss
Así es bro
YESS ID PAY FOR THAT
fr
Ong
y’all needa get the internet on here again bc of how much they’ve improved. people honestly need to see it
Funny that Syd's more confortable with her higher registers than the lower ones.
Leandro Quaresma she usually on I think she was sick
Leandro Quaresma I'm the same way! She has a nice falsetto.
because that moment is where the souls speak!
It’s because she’s a girl and her voice can’t go that deep, it can higher then it can deeper
Girl here, capable of singing lower than a tenor and as high as a soprano. She sounds sick. It's really not that hard to sing this low for a girl.
Man if she has the flu forreal, she really survived it very well and held it down and did her thing, its really hard to sing sick, but geez the flu? That's super hard! Either way her and the band are so dope
#NoLiesDetected
If you have real flu, you can't even get out of bed for a week a d you feel so bad you want to die and it takes another week to recover so I guess she had a cold
You can see it. In the eyes and energy
@@jmk1962Micheal Jordan played a whole game and won with the flu. So, you can still perform and b flu ridden
@@lanishajackson2677there’s level to this. He probably had a severe cold but it’s impossible to verify. There’s a reason we vaccinate against it.
And just all of you naysayers know: Syd had literally been singing only 4 years...they were on tour at the time...and she had the flu when this performance took place. I think that she did an amazing job!! The entire band is fire!!
Bahaaaaaaaaaaa..😁😁
She's a gangster👍
Thas truth syd can sannnngggg
You can see it in her face that something isn't right. That's why I came to the comments. But finding out she had the flu, thatvmakes sense. She did great.
@@Strawberryshort_love that is the best comment ever
The Internet should do another tiny desk concert, so many new songs.
Steve was definitely at school at this time 💀💀
this is sick. the occasional dissonance in her voice at points is actually nice
Good point
Under Control deadass one of the best songs of the last 10 years imo that song is just incredible
I agree. Under Control has been on replay for the last 3 months straight!
truth n facts!
me gusta su estilo, y como canta😄
cpg I knoooo! She dropping dimes in that song!
cpg Yesssss it is
Thundercat's lil brother on the keys btw yall
Family is musical af
Matt Martians
@@kyleseay5600 Nah he's to the left of Syd, Thundercat's brother is Jameel Bruner on the right :)
yesterday years old when i gained this knowledge!!!! their oldest brother also is a musician
@@alyxzia8994 yesss i’ve seen ronald bruner jr live, drumming for kamasi washington!
That's so cool
I love Syd. I love The Internet. Ego Death is still getting jammed.
0:17 Get Away
2:56 Under Control

Love The Internet
Anderson .Paak and The Internet colab that would be fire
i'm waiting on it, maybe the next album
I don't think I could handle that omg the the thought of it is getting me emotional
I was thinking the same thing!!!
This comment is the best.. that would be incredible.
Hell yes!
The brother on bass is so funky, that sound alone on Under Control made my day. So glad I discovered them today.
Today???!!!!! Girl . . . Where you been? They been it!
his name is Patrick Paige II, he has some dope solo stuff too!!
Syd could get any woman to come home with her, confidence and charisma is god tier.
For real....
I'd go TODAY
Any woman or man shii she's a sexy woman
I love Syd so much. This was a freat performance despite her having the flu.
We need a Masego Tiny Desk fr.
Tophe Thorne omg yess 😍😍😍😍😍🇯🇲
How do we actually make this happen? Like we have to start a petition.
My thought as well!
and goldlink
I’m with it, bring FKJ with him tho
Syds so confident now!!! I love it
She's just as weird as Taco
It's cause she is high af
@@michealomuiri2642 she do look high as fuck lol....love her😍😘
Syds smile is beyond gorgeous
All facts Marilyn
"Womp womp, womp womp"
I love how she’s feeling her music. Those are the true ones
Her Falsetto tone is so beautiful & smooth ☁️
Syd's such a beautiful musician. This whole group be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Homeboy on the keys (on the right) is the truth.
+Reginald Dorsey YEAAHHHH Jameel is that guy!!! Hit up his soundcloud too. He's got some cool stuff soundcloud.com/jameel-bruner
+Reginald Dorsey HE'S THUNDERCAT'S BROTHER!!
+Preston Hideo Suga I appreciate that SC link bro.
He putting that work in
+pnutmeh Don't forget Ronald Bruner.. also a killa... the whole fam is straight up killing!
They definitely deserve that Grammy nomination. Damn!
+Sam Anderson They better win... Its a toss up tho considering all the nominees.
+Darrel Be The Weeknd is going to win man he's too popular :(
+Shammgod Santiago well, the album, Beauty Behind The Madness was also a fantastic album, which is why it's popular.
Matthew Gonzales That album underachieved in many aspects lmao.

Jesus Christ what an incredible sound! Man I'm glad I have insomnia tonight and decided to check out some of the newer tiny desk concerts, another gem found.
Lesbian singing about Chicks = A voice i could listen to all day and completely relate to everything.
Syd is fantastic!
💗
ONLY SHE PUBLICLY STATED SHE *DEOSN'T* IDENTIFY AS LESBIAN (DISAPPOINTING)
We need an updated version of The Internet Tiny Desk
It sounds wrong to say, but I could listen to The Internet play instrumentals like this all freaking day. The fact that Syd has such a crazy voice on top of it is literally icing on the cake here.
love it! Jameel killing it on the keys as usual.
itsashleetho R.I.P JAMEEL
DUDE ON KEYS IS A MAGICIAN
I wish there was a love button, Syd is so syckkkK!!!
Omg.. keys player is unbelievable.. awesome rhythm and voicings
One of the best morning wake up concerts with crepes and mimosas. Wonderful energy for the brain.
Syd got mad vocals still
Syd the Kyd's really got a nice falsetto/head voice. I hope this group never stops bringing new soil to the music universe. That band is nothing short of vibin'!!!
I keep replaying this video. I hope I get to see them live one day
bout to see them at the carnival this year
+Shammgod Santiago you're lucky as fuck. I wish I lived in Cali so I could go
***** I recommend 10/10 whenever you get the chance. I went last year and it was the greatest night ever.
Just in case anyone cares, I saw them live this year in February and it was literally the best concert I've ever been to! I met them too and they were all very humble and nice towards their fans. They didn't deny one autograph/picture ❤️
I second that...I seen them in Toronto and saw Syd solo too
Vocally this band sounds better in the studio but the musicians never disappoint, I’m always rooting for them to get that Grammy nod real soon. Their albums are my peace of mind!!!
Most underrated band
Normally I listen to angry death metal; but this has my head slow bopp'in and groov'in. Well played guys!
+joseph daignault It's good to have a break, I went from Venetian Snares to Abyssal and now I'm here and I'm so happy to discover that they did a Tiny Desk Concert
Interesting there's some bands I been getting into lately like igorrr Brian eno Corpo mente flying lotus pig destroyer and the Internet is def up there cause I love their acid jazz sound which jazz is a fav genre of mine.
normally people say "I don't really like this kind of music but I like this song" which is wrong. You did it right sir.
::;
Yessssssssdddd
The Internet is THE TRUTH!!!!
LOOOOOL !!!!!!!
Yes they are
Jameel Bruner is freakin nice on the keys
Jonathan C tooooo nice!
He left the band ):
marie-cécile yeah I heard about that not too long ago, I wonder why he left
teminator365 I've heard he wants to work on his on stuff but I honestly thought it was a dumb decision
I wonder how Jameel’s departure will affect he sound on the new album? He was dope. Maybe they will feature more guitar riffs from the young dude (forgot his name)
Here in 2024. I am just discovering you guys and it saddens me that I missed such greatness. Would love to see you all in concert. Syd is my fav 😌♥
Can we get a pt2 of the Internet (hive mind) tiny desk after this COVID-19 and RACISM-20😭?!?!
FRRR😭💀we need a pt2
Am I the only one who likes this live version of "Get Away", more than the actual track?
finally I was waiting for the internet to be on here!
5:50 Syd....I got hella heart eyes for you
Mieshia Dyches fr😭
5:50 syd is a mood. I am literally dying! I love her
This is one of the most iconic groups ever…odd future birthed some of the most talented artist
i got to say... that... this one, is the best Tiny Desk Concert I've e ver seen! Thanks NPR Music for this piece of art!! (get more Neo Soul)
5:55 she look like she walkin down the street all dandy n shit
lol on a bright sunny day
omg so funny
peachy deadass😂
haha! i thought the same thing!!
Ayyyeee
live versions for life
2020 still jamming to this!!!💕💕
Love the way Syd sings...that voice, Dontcha my favorite song by The Internet.
they didnt play "girl"????? wut??????
I was thinking the same thing.
or gabby
they did that song with kaytranda I think that's why they didn't play it
isaiah reyes no reason the band can't play it live though
they would've needed Steve Lacy's guitar melody that starts the song and runs throughout, but Steve wasn't part of the Tiny Desk for some reason
HER VOICE IS LIKE FRESH WATER...
Viiiibbbeeeessssss 💛💛💛💛 luv how their songs translated in this kind of chill zone
Syd's notes are higher than my IQ
Yhooooo they I laughed at the comment.... HIGHER😂😂😂
Syd's voice is that of an angel. One of my favorite TD concerts to date ❤︎
Incredible. Artists like this give me hope for new music. My favorite Tiny Desk so far.
I literally could (and usually do) listen to them everyday. This is my favorite band in the world!! Thank God for these beautifully designed people. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
She sings like angels.
F****, I adore that groovy Under Control...
That shii hits different
I love the Internet so much! Real talent all around. The vocals and instrumentation are the best.
fuck, the bassman and the keyboard-man are dooooooope
saw them yesterday night live.
still crying
Just 3 songs? wow. when tpain did TDC it felt like he went through his whole catalog.
man i wanted more! GIRL!
+sannyd Well, that was first time Tpain with no auto tune. That's uh a big deal.
+Rascalat no it wasn't
+sannyd T Pain only did 3 as well.
+Jack Beslyn it felt like more plus he mixed them together.
tpain and npr do not go together plus HE CAN SING.,,id tune into that autotune or not. good day

I literally listen to Get Away and Under Control atleast 3 times a day.Her vocals and the instruments behind it so soothing
This version of Get Away sounds so much better than the studio version. Syd's falsetto is on point
please do Phony Ppl, NPR. Their music sounds beautiful live
Luis that track Helga goes hard
+Darian Williams i personally dont like that song much, but Why iii Love The Moon is definitely worth singing live
Luis fuck yeah!
Luis yesss!
Lets make this come true everyone. As soon as possible! !
I like the flaws! Gives more character 👍
Wow her voice, sounds good when she’s singing & soothing when she talks. This version of Dontcha is something else really enjoyed it :)
3:40 that piano... shivers down my spine!
You know you're fucking talented when you can sing live without all the bullshit
lol

absolutely beautiful work by the keyboardist!

On dontcha Matt playing the shakers....the mood when u hear great music and you in your own world with no care..... My favorite band
Their whole vibe is amazing!
This is my new fav band right now. I want to see them/her in concert.
I'm in love with the lead singer. They're so.......got DAMN good
This band is tight. I wanna hear an instrumental album.
One of the best tiny desk performance I’ve seen. Love this band. 🍄☃️👑
This is transcendent. Absolutely in love with the sound
That bass and the chords on keys (ノへ￣、) So gooooood!
especially on Under Control. The bass line, keyboard chords, and lyrics fit like a finished puzzle.
Man... DAT PIANO!!!
This band is one in a million. I can't get enough of them!
Wow what a band, love watching the older live authentic recordings xx
Her voice is mesmerizing....i could listen forever!
LMFAO fucking Matt holding some maracas
The Internet held me down during a tight time in my life, love them so much ❤🙏🏾
