That's cause in the studio version she recorded it while she was still in rehab and during that time her voice was very injured by her purging and not taking care of herself
+Savannah Vasquez: You could be a little more sensitive to that sort of subject, you know... The way you conveyed your words came off as being inconsiderate and insensitive towards mental illness that Demi deals with on a daily basis.
Still years after first hearing this, it always makes my face contort because it’s just awe-inspiring what she can do with her voice. Just flat out incredible.
I remember the day, years and years ago, 2008, I think, when Camp Rock played on Disney Channel at LEAST twice a week. I loved Demi then, when I was just a wide-eyed six-year-old little girl with no real knowledge of how harsh the world could be. I just remembered loving her voice, wanting to be like her. This Is Me was my favorite song. When Skyscraper came out in 2011, I was around nine years old, and had already been through a lot. But I still didn't quite understand the message behind this song, not fully anyways. I just knew it was an empowering song, and listening to it made me feel stronger. I was just too young to understand why Demi seemed to suddenly disappear. And when she 'came back' as I said then, I was just as strong of a fan as I was before. It's 2015 now, and a lot has happened since 2011. I've grown up, I've experienced more than most people my age would even understand. I understand the power and message behind the song. It's flawless, it really is. Skyscraper is part of the main reason I'm still alive and sane. I'm a Lovatic for life.
Ugh I cry EVERYTIME. Notice how her eyes only open at the most vulnerable parts but they stay closed because of how emotional the whole thing is. Just so many tears.
Skies are crying, I am watching Catching teardrops in my hands Only silence, as it's ending Like we never had a chance Do you have to make me feel like There's nothing left of me? You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper As the smoke clears, I awaken And untangle you from me Would it make you, feel better To watch me while I bleed? All my windows still are broken But I'm standing on my feet You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper Go run, run, run I'm gonna stay right here, Watch you disappear Yeah-oh, go run, run, run Yeah, it's a long way down But I am closer to the clouds up here You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper, oh-oh Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper (Like a skyscraper) Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
No one can deny that but look at the date this performance was given ... 2012 ... Demi is having serious problems giving live performances now .. i.e. 2014 ... but I agree she is amazing here :)
Lost the care for that autotunes-rage from some people. I smash LIKE if i LIKE what i hear lol. Autotune doesn't bother me :o it's like saying that using hand-written documents is better in business because it's doesn't involve using a computer which doesn't improve your hand writing xD who cares.
Grizhlie It's actually more like a company putting out a much much cheaper made product and charging the same for it. Their singing is the product they're selling, if they auto-tune to any great degree I only think they can't actually sing very well and it's a cheap product for it. Demi Lovato does not need to auto-tune because she has an amazing voice and can use it well.
Joseph Tucker Well.. I sort of pay for the finished product if I happen to like it. What they do, how they make it doesn't really matter to me if it doesn't hurt anyone or anything. So the product they are selling is entertainment to me. They just happen to use their voice. Some 50 or 70 or 100% all voice (rest being auto-tune). And if the product is bad... Well good luck getting my money! Anywho - my opinion. Take care :)
The thing about Demi music that I love is that it’s emotional and most music has lost that. Her music is real. She can sound so sweet and fragile but at the same time strong and powerful. #rolemodel
Demi has matured so much and i love sure of herself she is. Like legit you can see more confidence in herself, through her performances. Like she literally tore this song up!!!! I am soo happy for her, and you can hear it in her voice that she is happy! and Proud confident and assure of who she is as an artist.
I think Demi is one of the current best voices, not just teen, but overall. She has a strong and powerful voice, and go away. Voice notes of it are wonderful, I love her voice, one of the best, it is better live than recorded in the studio
woowww. that gave me chills at the end. she is such a beautiful singer..i can never understand why she isnt more popular. just beautiful in every way possible! i love u Demi!!!
Talent is a bullshit answer. She's constantly practices and trains to achieve that.she is talented. not denied. But it's not the reason she sings Soo well
Can we talk about how natural her vibrato sounded here. And how good her agility was? This was the best era for her to showcase her musicianship. Tell Me You Love Me Era is all about ease on the upper register.
I really do hope demi doesnt lose her voice 😭😭. She sounds so different now. But she's such a high demanding performer that it's impossible to get a break
Demi Lovato, one of the biggest pop stars or her generation. But that's not why I love her. I love her because her music and choice of words can save lives. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. She doesn't worry about what people think of her, she is real and speaks what's on her mind. And saves lives while doing so.
*LOVATICS* Please support Demi by voting for her for the People's Choice Awards!! She's Nominated for: favorite female artist, favorite pop artist, favorite music video (for heart attack), and favorite music fan following!! Let's go Lovatics! Let's win this for Demi! She TOTALLY deserves it!
honestly after watching recent videos form her concerts i started to think wow demi doesn't have the great voice i thought she had.... but after watching this..holy crap! when a singer is on tour their voice doesn't get to rest as much so obviously its not going to be at its best. this is talent tho. what she does with her voice is amazing. and the emotion behind it is even more amazing!
i don't know how demi's voice can sound so strong and fragile at the same time. so good
Yes I love her
@@teresamccabe209 This shows her raw talent of blending her head and chest voice like a freaking pro.
I get goosebumps every time I listen 😔
I totally agree with you! Just made the same comment
Yessss 😭😭❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼
she sounds so much better live/acoustic than in the studio
That's cause in the studio version she recorded it while she was still in rehab and during that time her voice was very injured by her purging and not taking care of herself
+Savannah Vasquez Ooh I didn't know that
Yes and it's incredible !!
+Savannah Vasquez: You could be a little more sensitive to that sort of subject, you know... The way you conveyed your words came off as being inconsiderate and insensitive towards mental illness that Demi deals with on a daily basis.
kalli amelya I agree. That proves a great singer to me. They sound better live or acoustic performance. Prefer this to the video.
nOBODY can sing skyscraper like this. this is perfect.. sweet, slow.. amazing demi
Totally agree!!!
Totally right she is the best and have a wonderful christmas.
couldn't have described it better
thatsester Did you saw Sam Bailey how is she singing this song ? :)
I admit Angelo, I saw both versions but I think Demi still wins.
Still years after first hearing this, it always makes my face contort because it’s just awe-inspiring what she can do with her voice. Just flat out incredible.
honestly think this is better than the studio version. This has so much more emotion, and her vocals are just as good, maybe even better
Yeah she acquired better experiences now :)
Actually I heard she was crying while recording the song so maybe that's why
+Lps Fire yeah..i'd watched her reality show.. she said this song is about her dad..she thought about her dad when she recorded this
+Michaela Lily i agree with you to
+Michaela Lily Definitely! Honestly, I didn't think much of this song when I saw the music video, but hearing this I was moved
she should have won a grammy for this song! Who agrees ?
Me 😄
me
Me and hopefully everyone else
The Grammys r rigged they don't look for real talent anymore they look for what got best sales and let other celebs vote
Issa_ badi ikr.....
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW LONG SHE HELD THE NOTE HOLY GRAMMY CALLING
Simone Hesseldahl LOL XD
can we talk about that little vibrato she added at the end of that note though
It not even long for demi jdjdjdj
it's not actually that long if you know how you control your breath. Still impressive though.
Then Stas Shurins needs 2 for what he did with it on Voice of Germany. Look it up
Demi's voice is unreal and her emotion in this video is omg😭❤️😍💖
I remember the day, years and years ago, 2008, I think, when Camp Rock played on Disney Channel at LEAST twice a week.

I'm a Lovatic for life.
no one can sing like her
I have
yeah because she cant do the vibrato -_-
.
gunth tan nah shes really good
ok
she is so unbelievably talented and the emotion she puts behind everything she does is just incredible
no one can sing skyscraper like demi
Sirens reminded me of Skyscraper.
But I'll have to agree.
when my mom first sirens she thought was skyscrapers
miranda sings could
Yea ikr not even can sing it like herself now😂
Sam Bailey can sing it better imo
3:13 I don't think I have heard something that beautiful.. Definitely one of the most amazingly vocally talented ladies in the world
Her voice is so fragile like so amazingly beautiful
This video never gets old. Can watch it over and over. Anyone else? Thumbs up! =)
General Caeser
She gives me chills..so amazing.
She is literally the only one from Disney who can actually sing, her voice is amazing omg
Victoria Howe Nick Jonas can , miley cyrus can , emily osement can , and a lot oof theem can shing =)
Miley too
Lil' Lovatic Maybe but if you listen to miley, when she not sing her own music her voice is amazing.
Miley is good at singing too, but Demi just have that thing, you get goosebumps when you hear her singing
Angelo Mateiu nick, ok. miley, for sure. but emily osment? lmao. where is she then? no hate i love her. ur just ignorant :)
It's crazy to think how many lives she has saved by recording this song.
Gorgeous! One of her best live performances. I‘m watching this video since six years and i get goosebumps everytime.
not to mention she's singing a hella high song while sitting! SLAY.
Ugh I cry EVERYTIME. Notice how her eyes only open at the most vulnerable parts but they stay closed because of how emotional the whole thing is. Just so many tears.
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here,
Watch you disappear
Yeah-oh, go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper, oh-oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
(Like a skyscraper)
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
her voice at 2:45 and those couple of lines blow me away...putting it on replay. WOW
this is so so beautiful and will forever be one of my favourite performances of hers 🌙
She's amazing live!
No one can deny that but look at the date this performance was given ... 2012 ... Demi is having serious problems giving live performances now .. i.e. 2014 ... but I agree she is amazing here :)
OMG, The last chorus broke me to pieces
This is my favorite song of hers. It really projects her vocal range and talent. Powerful. You can really feel the emotions exuding from her. So real.
Flawless performance. This sounds to me like she was then at the top of her singing skills.
This song has helped me alot along with Demi with my problems with the bullies and cutting. Thanks to Demi, Ive been clean for 5 months now
stay strong xx
that's Amazing xx
Thanks so much! It's been a year now and I've been tempted before but now I just write them down into songs
Well done :-) I'm so glad your clean, stay strong! Xxx
Nikki McCoy I’m so damn proud of you. She would be too. Keep on being a fighter and warrior ❤️
My gosh..
i love her voice very much..
accoustics make me cry, i know what she felt
THE QUEEN.
Every time I watch this video, I literally cry. This live is amazing! Love her.
The intimates perfomances are better, haters can see that she doesn't use autotune
Lost the care for that autotunes-rage from some people. I smash LIKE if i LIKE what i hear lol. Autotune doesn't bother me :o it's like saying that using hand-written documents is better in business because it's doesn't involve using a computer which doesn't improve your hand writing xD who cares.

Anywho - my opinion. Take care :)
You tell on close up or someone is using autotune it’s a button on microphone labeled autotune generally red it’s obvious she doesn’t use it
@Terence Fairy thats because the whole performance is Autotune and second if all it is an F#5 , not a G5 , it was flat
this is a better version of the song
ikr I was thinking the same thing
It's amazing how brave she is. Even after everything she went through she still nails this song, no matter how much she's struggling with it.
She has such an amazing voice unplugged shes beautiful just the way she is then and now.
The thing about Demi music that I love is that it’s emotional and most music has lost that. Her music is real. She can sound so sweet and fragile but at the same time strong and powerful.
#rolemodel
I have no words to speak. She is the best
Demi has matured so much and i love sure of herself she is. Like legit you can see more confidence in herself, through her performances. Like she literally tore this song up!!!! I am soo happy for her, and you can hear it in her voice that she is happy! and Proud confident and assure of who she is as an artist.
the end was amazing
This is Demi her best performance, I can't stop listening... This is so beautiful
i love you demi ❤️
I think Demi is one of the current best voices, not just teen, but overall. She has a strong and powerful voice, and go away. Voice notes of it are wonderful, I love her voice, one of the best, it is better live than recorded in the studio
the tiny imperfections and breaks in her otherwise flawless performance are what makes the performance so vulnerable and beautiful
Her voice in this performance is astonishing. It’s absolutely flawless and it has so much emotion
I can really feel the emotion. Demi is just amazing
Still love her
she always put all emotion to the song she sang......is such a rare thing to see in this generation
3:12 Perfect!, the whole song was perfect, best performance of skyscraper.

Talent is a bullshit answer. She's constantly practices and trains to achieve that.she is talented. not denied. But it's not the reason she sings Soo well
^ Very well said. Talent is never enough. It has to be matched with work ethic!
Leah McArdle its easy
i really really miss this..these songs,this look,this voice.. 😢
why did I discover this performance 8 years after!! now I am catching tear drops in my hands.
Can we talk about how natural her vibrato sounded here. And how good her agility was? This was the best era for her to showcase her musicianship.
Tell Me You Love Me Era is all about ease on the upper register.
