- On Sunday the 13th of March 2022, Dame Shirley opened the BAFTA awards with a spine-tingling rendition of one of her most beloved Bond songs, Diamonds Are Forever. This is the first time Dame Shirley had appeared live on the British stage since 2019 (When she last sang with Alfie Boe and Michael Ball). At 85 years young, she proved that she HAS STILL GOT IT! She demonstrated such amazing control over her voice and showed that she still has her upper register intact! This performance is truly such a treat. Please enjoy!
How incredible was that?! The average person doesn’t even live to the age of 85 let alone show up at the Royal Albert Hall looking gorgeous and perform at nearly the top of their game and win themselves a standing ovation. She is an icon.
Amen 💖💖💖
amazing!!
she first sang that in the albert 50 years ago im so happy to have had this come on ytube love this girl
WTF is wrong with people? 85 years old, sings great, yet they all sit there and clap like they're at a golf game. Show a little respect, if not appreciation.
The average person DOES live to the age of 85, I believe. At least in developed countries.
She didn't have an easy life either,but blessed with talent.
So much respect. Listen to that voice at the age of 85. Incredible diva...forever forever forever
And THAT is how it’s done, ladies and gentlemen…
Holy Fuck - 85 years old and she sings like that? I'm stunned.
Yup she's that damn gifted. And shows how well she took care of her voice over the years. A consummate professional.
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how you sing a James Bond title song!
This. And at 85. Jeez
They will never be like another like her.
Never be another star like her
NO AUTO TUNE
NO BACK UP SINGER

Is she really 85? God damn, this is amazing.
85 years old just let that sink in. 85 years old and singing with control and immense vocal power. Her voice at this age is astounding. She has a unique instrument. DSB is a national treasure an ICON. Phenomenal 💞
Id be lucky to be able to speak coherent sentences
Brings tears to the eyes, love her, amazing voice, what a talent even at her age.
So good to hear her at her age.. Such a class
Is she a vampire? She is ageless and still excellent in singng! Nothis has changed! She is still the best!
....SHE....made....TIME...STAND STILL....
I was literally brought to tears. I had no idea she was not only still active, but as incredible as ever. A living legend from a time when music was beautiful and class and elegance were celebrated. May God bless her with many more years.🙏❤
A song she first sang 51 years ago - BLOODY HELL!!!!! None of your lip-synching or intonation control here. Just the absolute real thing. The grande Dame once again showing the younger generation just EXACTLY how to do it! Thank you Dame Shirley - you are that diamond and your legacy will indeed last forever!
Completely agree. This is a masterclass.
I can still remember hearing "Goldfinger" for the first time when I was a boy, and it was a huge hit on the radio. She can still deliver a thrilling performance.
Yes! She deserves all those applause & adulation... & more...!!!
... She's truly awesome...!!! Love her...!!! 🧡 👏 🎵 🎧 🏆
Amen
sung in the same key as 1987.. I know it is not exactly a high key but just saying DSB could have knocked it down a key had she needed to.
how she is able to sing these songs this way at 85 is something that I never thought possible. Absolutely incredible!!
She has to be the best female singer ever to be born in the UK. Unbelievable.
Welsh you mean.
@@tgm250 No. I mean, in the UK. Wales is a very small part of the UK. Don't tell me what you think I should say.
Wales 🏴 is rest of world,
@@sahej6939 Wales is practically third world.
@@tgm250 Sorry man, Nigerian Father and a Yorkshire Mother..... No Welsh blood at all, just born there.... More Yorkshire than Welsh..... !!!
She is amazing I saw her in Sydney Australia ❤
Dame Shirley Bassey everyone. On behalf of humanity, we thank you Dame for blessing us
wow she is still here doing that song amazing a real BOND GIRL
Those who criticize a legend, belting one of her signature songs brilliantly at 85 years of age, are maybe the folks not able to hold a note singing in the shower. Dame Shirley Bassey is a unique Superstar.
there should be a law made that only Shirley Bassey is allowed to sing the Bond songs. Incredible.
She may be 85 but her voice is just as clear & powerful as ever. May she continue to give us the gift of her voice for many years to come.💜💜💜💜
At 85, her voice may be even more forever than diamonds. Shirley Bassey is grand in every sense that word conjures. Brava!!!
I can't believe it.... I absolutely can't beleve it !!!! The voice sounds exactly as it did 50 years ago !!!! love her.
MAGNIFIQUE!!! I WISHED I WOZ DER......NEXT TIME THEN
People loose their voices when they age but at 85 .. come on guys this is fantastic 🇿🇦❤️
LOSE.
Many people loose it long before. There is no exact age when this happens. But for 85 Shirley did it very well. It`s not the same than 50 years ago. But for her age it is great. No matter what some weak guys write here in their comments. They should remember that 85 procent are dead with 85.
You only lose your voice when you sing the way they do today with all the screaming. She doesn't scream when she sings.
@@lettiegrant9447 The loss of voice has to do with the age and not with someones screaming.
@@alberteisenmann1023 It’s LOSE not “loose”
I WISH SHE WOULD TOUR IN THE USA. SHE SOUNDS AND LOOKS FANTASTIC.
AMAZING SINGER DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY AND POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL GOLDEN VOICE I LOVED GREAT LADY
85 years old .. Amazing
Amazing vocal ability live at 85 year's old. You are world class. I love your voice and your powerful energy through your music. Thank you Dame Shirley Bassey. Xx
And, that, ladies and gentlemen is how you own the stage. Dame Shirley can do no wrong in my eyes.
magnifique Shirley Bassey respect 🌹
WOW!! At 85 she still possess that robust and developed chest voice… I am astounded!
OMG.....THIS WOMAN IS 85 YRS OLD???....AMAZING,,,JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!
That sparkle in her eyes, that tilt of the head, that body movement and that voice!!!! Dame right!!!!!
85 and still going strong
Remarkable Career
Best Singer of our generation
Don’t know how Dame Shirley does it suffice to say she’s positively Brilliant
Toronto Ontario Canada
Without a doubt
Wow wow wow❤
They should have flown her out to Hollywood to participate in the Bond tribute at the Oscars. She would have brought some class to an otherwise tasteless endeavor.
Sometimes over a certain age, plane trips aren’t a good idea, let alone transatlantic flights.
This song is at its best, now she is older, most loose their voice, hers gets stronger.
This just made me cry.
An old man watching this truly wonderful artist perform a timeless classic; a beautiful woman whose songs and voice have always just been there for me, an essential part of the soundtrack of my life.
God loves you Shirley. 🙏❤️
Me too. So much emotion
@Mercyme57-youre not alone, watching this performance I couldn't help but to be moved to tears😭
I'm lost in a trance watching this ❤🎉😊
I chose wisely; simply TheBestSinger I have ever heard!
She is 85 years old and still KILLING IT!!! Shirley Bassey, one of the best! I'm pretty sure Sean and Roger were smiling down upon you from Heaven!
Oh my goodness, she is a gem. She looks good and still sound great at afe 85. I lkve you dear Shirley.
This lady is the definition of amazing.
Absolutely!
BEYOND!
She is the definition of so many wonderful and beautiful things ✨️ 💕 💛 💖 💗 ❤️
Such a powerful voice at 85..no gimmicks, all live. Go Shirley
85 years old!!! AMAZING
What a legend! A real artist❤
Oh my, she's 85...this woman is a force of nature.
Marvelous, great, gorgeous Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey. God bless her FOREVER AND EVER.
Style, class, charisma, and talent. Like no other.
WOW! Lift my hat She still got it damn unique Ms Bassey!
I see some people trying to criticize… SMH. Do you understand that she’s freaking 85 years old? This was actually an excellent performance for any age. No matter what flaws, which anybody can have. It was amazing.
I don't really see anyone criticizing. They are deaf, whomever it is. She still has her chest voice, at 85 years old. This is RARE
Who is criticizing her? So far looks like you're the only one suffering from AGEISM is.... YOU!
I love Dame Shirley Bassey. There is one thing that I noticed in this performance... her vocal range is lower but she held her notes longer. I thought the change-up was just stunning.
Flaws show a performance is live and real. Rather have that than performances which are autotuned to death or, even worse, lip synched.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHO WOULD DARE CRITICIZE THIS PERFORMANCE???? Sweet mother of god, the woman is fucking eighty-five years old and sounds like perfection.
Even Dame Shirley’s speaking voice is glorious to listen to. I think she is simply the best singer to ever come out of Britain. How rewarding must it be for her to still get that deserved reaction. She has been at the top of her game her whole career. She is a diva, an icon, a legend.
While father time is snatching these old dolls throats Ms. Bassey is standing strong voice is still powerful
B-R-A-V-O!!!!
Phenomenal.
She officially retired December 2020.
She just performs at special events now but to keep hitting those high notes still requires continued Vocal exercise and preparation.
That's the sign of a true professional.
Unstoppable Miss Bassey.
Longest performing female artist of all time (Hello Guinness book off world records !!)
Wow I'm 60 and vividly remember going to the cinema to watch Diamonds Are Forever with my parents. And watching Shirley Bassey sing this song on British television -- She still sounds phenomenal !!
There’s only one Shirley. We will never see her like again.
must be protected at all costs....
Simply ageless and timeless! At her age, she can still belt it. Love her forever!! A real national treasure.❤❤❤
God bless her.
@Lorna Davies,well said,yes.
The Great Dame of Music ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Dame still blow off the roof of that stage at her 85; as she only can..! with her powerfull voice and dazzling personality.
85 man how way she is better than the majority of our current 'singers' and she looks absolutely amazing and classy x
Still beautiful. Still elegant. Still a diva. Her voice is still unbelievable.
Grandissima... Non ci sono parole... Grandissima... Non dovrebbe morire mai!!!!!
As a lifelong Fan of DSBs Music, after watching that all I can say is Ga Ga etc. eat your Heart out!!!!!
She's 85!!! OUTSTANDING!!
Such a star! 87 now and still going strong. Love her ♥️
Dame Shirley Bassey you can never go wrong
tears running like a waterfall .. such a grace, voice.. She is the biggest diamond of all....... shine for us for decades to come!!
Amazing…the best Bond singer ever!
She has just given a lesson of class, singing, emotion, greatness, and all this at 85 years old.
It's was breathtaking, I had goosebumps...
Spectacular and the dress was beyond everything 💜
If you haven't seen it, check out her performance at the BAFTAS in 2011 I think it was. She does 'Goldfinger'. Her performance , and the orchestra's, is mind blowing.
Yes her best performance of Diamonds and Goldfinger ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
❤
To hit these notes at 85 is quite amazing.
She works relentlessly on her breathing. A real force of nature as well. To be belting it out with that much power is miraculous.
It is a gift from God to sing like this at 85!
Truly
The Legend….. 85 yo…. So magical
I saw her show in 1974. She still sounds amazing. Thank you Dame Shirley... Your diamonds are forever.
I honestly never heard this song until Kanye West sampled it. Been in love with it ever since.
My God what an absolute phenomenon this woman is! To be able to sing like that at 85 with barely a flutter. Is there nothing on this Earth that can stop Dame Shirley? I hope not!
I was surprised that I got chills listening to this performance. I think it was a combination of the song and nostalgia growing up with the James Bond movies either in the theater or on TV.
Wow.. So powerful, even at her age..
She is FANTASTIC even at 85...!!! Such an elegant classy woman with a rich powerful gifted voice. That she took care of after all these years performing. Thank you Dame Shirley your truly one of a kind. A true diamond that lasts forever.
she will be that way at 105
WELSH AND WONDERFUL
Had the privilege of seeing Shirley at nine performances and even had a sneaky kiss for presenting a bouquet of flowers when I was in the front rtow, this performace was out of the ball park she is a master of her profession and an icon like no other.. love you Shirl.. (sorry Shirley)..lol
Dame Shirley Bassey makes me so freaken proud of being British. And I m actually not, I m greek :P
Dear Madonna, dear Sam Smith, dear Alicia, dear Billie .... THIS is a Bond-Song and THIS is a performance!
Madonna ‘s was the worst! Alicia, Sam, and Billie kicked ass
Even Tina Turner's Goldeneye pales in comparison. And she's the Queen of Rock 'n Roll.
Still got it, you go Shirley, legend, what a voice, always loved this track. Brings back alot of memories.
Wow wow wow wow and Wow Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey!!!
Incredible 85 years...the indestructible unique wonderful Dame Shirley Bassey
Sheer talent ..
she did the best Bond songs!!!!! There's no one like her. The current pop singers will never come close to her. This is a lady with a great talent that doesn't have to bare her crotch to entertain.
What A Legend and What a Voice too to be Able to Sing at her age is Amazing
Without words!
Thank you for putting me on this planet during the same period as this divinely talented, classy, and gracious artist.
Dame Shirley's magnificence transcends time and emotes all that is good.
God bless you, young lady!
I have loved watching Dame Shirley over the years, still sassy sexy and lighting up the stage.
Stone-cold legend right there. 85 and her voice can still fill an auditorium with remarkable range. How many female vocalists maintain that quality at that age? None that I can think of. Not in a live performance like this. She still looks amazing too. This has to be one of her favorite performances of all time.
Petula clark but that is it.
Well her looks look a little - let's call it beautified.
@@gabrieleschulze7627 good for her then
The one and only! Bravo!
Doesn’t she look beautiful. A true performer and great artist. I’ve loved you for forever. Beautiful.
Dame Shirley Bassey is FOREVER!!! LOVE HER!!! God Bless her, she sounds amazing.
She has taken care of herself and her instrument. Continued blessings. Brava!
