+MrMeadfoot Ri-i-i-ight, because they actually pre-recorded a version of this song where she sings slighltly off-key sometimes and gasps for air in perfect intervals coinciding with all the acrobatics she performs. That makes total sense, buddy!
The fact that she was pitch perfect while basically her whole body was above her head is vocal acrobatics right there! Robyn is one of our underrated pop icons! Sweden gave us a lot of musical gifts, but Robyn is one we really need to give flowers to.
I used to Tivo every episode of SNL when I was a freshman in highschool to watch on Sunday mornings. I remember this episode because I was so excited for Katy Perry to host. I had never heard of Robyn and these two performances completely changed my life. I even traveled to London alone to see her in 2019. I'm just rewatching this now for the first time 12 years later
@@starsandstripesofcorruptio5524 Was that really necessary. You strip away the talent and skill for the flux of appearance? It is probably a credit to her that she is not bothered to use dental cosmetics to hide the flaws of her dentition. We all have flaws. Organic systems are by definition full flaws. We shouldn't focus and mock people for simple cosmetic flaws like dentition. Focus on the skill and talent that is easily presented.
I remember watching this when it aired. I kept telling my wife I was afraid she'd fall with those shoes. But, immediately I was drawn to her confidence and enthusiasm. She's a veteran entertainer indeed! Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely thrilling performance. This is such a gorgeous song. I’ve been saying it for nearly a decade, Robyn’s “Body Talk” is the greatest dance album of this century.
Here in 2022 and Robyn’s hits are still among most requested according to DJs I know; she is just a happy queen of her own phenomenal blend of soulful funk pop! For those being critical of her performance here, her love of fans reigns supreme - she even did this at a pop up event, airport terminal at JFK. Love ❤️ u always Robyn ❤️🤘👊
lastfog No lip synching here, you can here her breathing hard the whole time. She sings the chorus amazing which is why you might think she's lip synching, but she's not.
I used to think so but shit, her new album sucks so bad I wish she would have not come back because it’s VERY disappointing. I guess it would very hard to top body talk, but where are the melodies, and fun on Honey? It’s terrible most songs sound like bad filler tracks from shitty 90s artists. Sorry but this new album is an epic fail.
I was literally just coming to leave this exact comment. This is truly the essence of what pop should be - not hidden agendas, no-hyper sexualization… just an entertainer out there slaying and loving what she gets to do. I’ve always respected Robyn for not changing her stripes or even trying to. She’s always been that pop star who just does her job and has a smile on her face while she does it. How can you not love that?
why does it always have to be a competition? let 2 different people from 2 different walks of life perform and love each other without it being a battle of who's better.
In my opinion, Katy Perry is a great vocalist. Definitely not the best, but she's still amazing. She's beautiful with a nice voice and personality. Stop comparing.
lovin everything about this the synthesizer , her vocals, dancing, that jacket ..sooo fun! and she is a Boss with her own record label ...I hope she will .....always be around XD
Anyone notice how she seems more lively after she totally nailed that roll? She must have been thinking, 'Oh god, please don't let me screw this up..' then she bloody aced it, and she's like, 'Oh yeah, it's bloody go time!' Kickass video! Robyn has been one of my idols since bloody '97!
Watching this 2024 - smiling, crying, coolest performance ever - you are my ride or die, we need you, used to do that roll move in the clubs and get kicked out haha - you are the best pop of all time my robyn xox love you forever
i love how she dances like she's alone in her room xD
yeah - if i tried to dance like that in my room - I'd probably bust my bum though trying to do that tumble thing she did! that was unexpected! lol!
I'm pretty sure my head would be spinning if I even tried to dance like that... x.x
+sjtherage its from her video though. its all the same moves lol. though it was pretty unexpected for her to actually do it on stage
I think I could do that tumble if I was wearing a Calvin Klein corset as well
would you say she's dancing on her own?
This performance still hits hard in 2023, one of the best SNL performances of all time.
I think you referring to tarans
Yes it does!
I love it ❤❤❤❤
I don't know, Ashlee Simpson in 2004 was mesmerizing
When she tours again - Go see her live.
I’ve caught her 4 times. The crowds + her performances are sublime.
Robyn is what pop should be. 100% fun. 100 percent art.
bomvocal Perfect comment.
bomvocal ...u got it right
Couldn’t agree more!!
Absolutely right!
I get what you're saying, but pop songs can be sad too.
And THAT, my dear friends, is how you do a live performance.
+Alex Dkbrst only one problem though....she's not singing live.
+MrMeadfoot I'm sorry for being so blunt, but are you deaf?
+Alex Dkbrst She is not singing live, nor is the band playing live, open your eyes and ears, she's still brill though.
+MrMeadfoot Ri-i-i-ight, because they actually pre-recorded a version of this song where she sings slighltly off-key sometimes and gasps for air in perfect intervals coinciding with all the acrobatics she performs. That makes total sense, buddy!
+MrMeadfoot idiot
11 years later - still getting chills. Robyn slays em' all.
Same, honestly thought this was a random performance of this song from a couple of years ago, it’s incredible
Agreed. I come back to this every so often and it always makes my heart warm.
The fact that she was pitch perfect while basically her whole body was above her head is vocal acrobatics right there! Robyn is one of our underrated pop icons! Sweden gave us a lot of musical gifts, but Robyn is one we really need to give flowers to.

I absolutely love this
This girl needs a grammy.
The Grammy need this girl
She needs a dentist too.
Swedish grammy 2018
Grammy’s aren’t given to independent artists / labels only to those affiliated to a major label.

Her energy. She's like a fucking volcano.
This woman is not afraid!
How can she sing this well while dancing so powerfully? She's absurdly good!
+Cold2Rain back up vocals track. She was also singing but yeah, she obviously knows when she can rely on them to carry.
+Cold2Rain it's called lip synching
+John Doe No she's not
right, she can sing when her mouth doesn't even move. what a dumbass you are.
+John Doe if u can't tell the difference between her live voice and the backup vocal track then u sir are the dumbass.
Dude, she worked so hard! So proud of her! :)
The electric slide part always kills me! I love it LOL
I remember watching this when it aired. I kept telling my wife I was afraid she'd fall with those shoes. But, immediately I was drawn to her confidence and enthusiasm. She's a veteran entertainer indeed! Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
Criminally overlooked live performer. Her movements are everything.
At least you didn't say underrated.
She's magical. Beautiful, Grotesque, Elegant, Clumsy, Masculine, Feminine,, Deadly serious, totally silly. Robin: Subversive Pop Enigma who goes 100%
100% Agree for Masculine+Feminine. She's just serving everything
I burned-off 200 calories just by watching this. I'll watch this 5 times every day now.
masturbation should be a private affair dude.
We all should have our 5 a day.....
I did just that for quite a while. Super catchy song and unique performance.
Imagine her full performances. She dances like this almost nonstop for 90 minutes! It's so crazy good
It's been over 8 years and I STILL get chills from this performance! No other musical act on SNL has reached this level of perfection.
And you've seen them all?
I love that body roll on the floor! made my day
And she didn't miss a beat!
She knows she totally nailed it!
truth
she owns the dance moves she does. clean cool dance moves.
Am i the only one Loving the mini corset thing made out of Calvin Klein waistbands??
WeirdoInTheCorner yes..the only one.

This has to be on of the best snl performances !!! She rocked the house !!!
Absolutely thrilling performance. This is such a gorgeous song. I’ve been saying it for nearly a decade, Robyn’s “Body Talk” is the greatest dance album of this century.
God, she makes heartbreak sound beautiful.
Awesome performance. When the beat drops out at 2:33 and goes crazy, I always get the chills in the original video. Dope ass song.
The energy on this woman is incredible, she's light, she's passion, she's art!
Love her jacket, her shoes and her confident attitude. Fresh.
I remember the first time I heard Robyn. I got my hopes up because I thought the 80s were finally coming back. Love listening to her.
yup
and the 80s did come back!!! have you heard of our lord and savior Carly Rae Jepsus?
Nikko Tan
What? She's got nothing to do with the 80s
Kids these days, thinking EDM is 80s. smdh
jjaapp18 gurl then u better listen to her latest albums EMOTION and EMOTION Side B then ull know what im talking about
Easily the best on stage performance I've seen from SNL. Her dances are hypnotic.
There's always Radiohead in 2000.
Watch s'more shows.
Ok Drag race Teletubbies take me to SNL
I have Rigga Morris watching this...
That’s okay guys, it’s in my cleft notes.
It's so beautiful the way she gets involved with her performance. I cried!
+Claudio Junior here's a new tampon.

Probably one of the best SNL performances.
Good show! Thanks for the qualifier.

Robyn is living proof that it IS possible to sing and dance live at the same time. Follow this you bitches!!!
When you're lip synching, sure. It's easy.
lastfog No lip synching here, you can here her breathing hard the whole time. She sings the chorus amazing which is why you might think she's lip synching, but she's not.
lastfog Backing track harmonies ≠ Lip Syncing
You've never seen Madonna perform live I guess?
Oh please, don't drag Madonna into this or you will cause so much trouble! :)
10 years later and still f****ng cool, my god !
Good god, I love this woman. Such energy!
how are your long balls larry
My fav snl performance ever..
Her dancing is diabolical
Wow! This still hits hard in 2024!
Robyn never ceases to entertain in her performances. One of the all-time #greatestSNLperformances.
Robyn needs to come back!!!
Brian M she's back!
henrique sabainski her new album is spicy
I used to think so but shit, her new album sucks so bad I wish she would have not come back because it’s VERY disappointing.

She is still slaying
2018 with her new single, MISSING U, and I'm still here watching her epic Call Your Girlfriend performance.
I dumped my girlfriend but I'm still waiting for your call, Robyn. Not cool.
Lol!!!
Missed the point of the song? She's not calling you. Lol
elphbwckd Huh? She’s telling the guy to call his girlfriend and break up with her so that he and Robyn can be together.
the girl has some endurance!
I was 17 when she performed on SNL and I still vividly remember the whole song and performance! Love it!!!!
anyone here after rpdr?? I'M OBSESSED NOW

I WONDER WHILE KATY PERRY WAS WATCHING THIS DID SHE THINK TO HERSELF "HOLY FUCK. SHE'S WAY BETTER THAN I'LL EVER BE."
Katy Perry loves Robyn. Robyn opened for her on tour.
why does it always have to be a competition? let 2 different people from 2 different walks of life perform and love each other without it being a battle of who's better.
Brain Dead Clinic strikes again.
In my opinion, Katy Perry is a great vocalist. Definitely not the best, but she's still amazing. She's beautiful with a nice voice and personality. Stop comparing.
Thanks to Katy's mom for this insightful comment.
MISS JAIDA ESSENCE HALL VS PREDATOR
Omfg you did not 🤣🤣🤣
Gurl 😂😂
Shaaaaaaade
sooooo bad i laughed out loud
Ken Doll shade! Lol
Robyn has been around for longer than all you think. Do your research.
Oh yea since the mid nineties
Yeah I remember buying her single in 1996
Tristan Woodson yes!! 1996-1997 baby!!!!! Been known her since then!!!
D H what happened....how are we soo old now...
I remember buying one of her singles in the 90s
crazy performance! better than some of the more mainstream acts
better than almost all of them.
I'm addicted to this performance ❤️❤️
Also she's so underrated 😭
How did I miss this?!!! It's so good, and she's an incredible live performer. I love Robyn so much!!!
I love Robyn !!!!! She's one of my favourite singers!!!!
Love watching Robyn live because she always looks like she's having the time of her life.
dayuum i cant even talk straight while running...
Robyn 😌 > Taylor Swift
What an incredible BEAST of a performer! She pulls the dance, and breath off same time , while holding the mic. RESPEK.
11 years later and this is still one of my favorite things ever from SNL!
The fact that this sounds so fresh and visionary after 12 years, wow. She changed pop music forever.
I hope Katy Perry sat her ass down and took some fucking notes.
whats wrong with katy perry?
Yes. This.
I think they are both very talented in their own ways, I wouldnt want everyone being the same, or would you?
beingjoshmc Robyn was touring with Katy Perry, which is probably why Robyn was on SNL.
beingjoshmc hahahaha honestly I had the same though
One of the best performances on American tv, I'm talking ALL TIME. Iconic.
still watching in dec 2016 and its the best! Robyn is the best
Eu amo Robyn !!!
Random Fiddles 2017!
SNL: How many cables do you need for your instruments?
Robyn: Yes
why is this popping up on my feed 8 years later? not complaining tho
Because of RPDR, a pair of Queens did a lipsync to this marvel
@@soulandmore thank you for the info
lovin everything about this the synthesizer , her vocals, dancing, that jacket ..sooo fun! and she is a Boss with her own record label ...I hope she will .....always be around XD
I dont understand how this video only has 1.8 Million views. this is PURE talent right here.
To hold a tune while busting those moves, in those boots! Awe-inspiring to say the least.
This is pure perfection, It is been 6 years now and I come here everytime I feel down.
it was so magical to see this when it first aired! my 20-something heart just melted... the feels just hit me.. love you, Robyn!!
Anyone notice how she seems more lively after she totally nailed that roll? She must have been thinking, 'Oh god, please don't let me screw this up..' then she bloody aced it, and she's like, 'Oh yeah, it's bloody go time!' Kickass video! Robyn has been one of my idols since bloody '97!
Best SNL performance.
This is pure pop perfection.
There's a reason why she is one of the best shows I have ever seen live!
What's the reason?
Watching this 2024 - smiling, crying, coolest performance ever - you are my ride or die, we need you, used to do that roll move in the clubs and get kicked out haha - you are the best pop of all time my robyn xox love you forever
She's so beautiful oh my god. Her energy is incredible.
*The pop needs you, plz come back. 😍❤*
I love how she gets into her music and dances. It makes me smile. :D
Jack wasn't kidding; her dancing does feel natural.
Here in 2022, and this is permanently on my iPod Classics - I can watch her all day long :)
I'm 49 but I love this stuff.
Queen of the universe. 👏👏👏
HOW CAN SHE DANCE IN THOSE PLATFORMS
You have to be in shape to listen to this song!
it gives me chills. how her voice flows beautifully, still, even when she's dancing, through the synths & the rest of the production. what a talenf
What a performer! This woman is awesome!!!
Whos here after drag race s12 ep 2????
Straight people. Cuz the gays have been jamming out to this for almost a decade.
Tastes Seoul Good테이스트서울굿 gagging, also teenage gays who are like 8 year olds when this was released
B*tch It's Me I was 9 but yeah you was right
How dreadful that *some* people only hear of this amazing song because of that ridiculous TV show.
Americans. Cause the song have been european anthem since SKAM season 3
Min 2:36 -2:50 gives me life 😍😍😍
She's so hYpEd for the dance break
I love her smile at the end from the applause. You know you rocked it girl 💖 💖💖 🇱🇷
One of the best songs in the last 10 years
its march 2017 and I still love this fucking woman and live performance!!!!!
I've loved her music and style since her first album.
And Honey?
Dancing fabulously in those boots while singing beautifully on a live stage? Pretty badass.
Robyn--she sounds good live. That alone puts her above so many performers. Girl is in great shape to sing while moving like that.
The electric slide moves never fail to entertain me.
I played this record non-stop for like a year and a half when it came out!
Grammy Winning Live Performance!
I NEED those shoes.
Omar Torres me too hahaha
Omar Torres im pretty sure vin diesel has the same shoes
I need all her cool outfits
Love her, one of the best artist. Wow
Robyn is in a league of her own!
Still dancing to this😏
