That indeed was the authentic singer. Unlike today that belting out their vocal cords to the limit is soo irritating to try ears! We could not have called it singing but appropriately label it as shouting! 🤭
@@anafelucero2166 Absolutely agree. I'll go a few steps further and say that the so-called singers of today sound as if they're getting their hair pulled and are standing on hot coals - it's a mixture of wailing and screaming... NOT singing.
That was f-ing incredible. Shirley Bassey's performance was so beautiful, powerful, and shows how the world(!) loves her beauty and one of a kind voice. ❤️ There will never be another like her.
Ah, SO good to see the comments below. I grew up with Shirley Bassey vinyls being played on the old record player. What a truly amazing performer, story teller artist. A stunning virtuoso vocalist. In a class apart & not seen in this day/age anymore.
Happy 2024 and Happy Birthday Dame Shirley Bassey! Congratulations on your recent OBE given by King Charles! We love and cherish you in the US. You are a study for these so-called young artists who are acknowledged for boosting the economy with billion dollar ticket sales but can't hold a candle to your vocal prowess and irresistible stage presence. May God bless you to stick around with us for many more years. ❤❤❤ 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇱
Whitney comes close, but Shirley stays consistent until past her golden age. She still sings as if she was in her 30's. Abaolutely amazing performance and closing!
Yes, Whitney is the second best in mid belts. A close second. He voice makes me shiver. But let us not forget Whitney had the complete package. Her head voice was the best I have ever heard in any non classical singer.
Most singers lose something off their top registers as they age but not Dame Shirley. If anything, she gets even better. And it's hard to get better than superb but she does. Incredible vocal power and precision.
Shirley's voice got darker as she aged. She sounded like her timbre was "in the basement" and could sound man-ish. She's wonderful But to be Honest ---the voice lost Lightness as she aged.
@@PhilAlumbNo, I can't have that. I completely disagree. No way was her voice ever dark, "in the basement", or mannish (2 Ns in mannish). The truly great thing about her voice as she got older was she raised the level of intensity even more.
Now that’s how to make an entrance! Literally had a lump in my throat. Dame Shirley’s star obliterates everyone around her. A stunning lady with a megawatt voice. A true British treasure on loan from Monte Carlo!
Wowww a special Royal Performance hight! I'm so funny and sorprise for Queen Majestic preset ! And all arists ,en special Mrs Sherly Bassey ! ❤🙏😱🤩🇲🇽 Regards from México 🇲🇽
You know, just looking at her, you wouldn't think such a powerhouse voice could come from her. Shirley Bassey gives me goosebumps no matter what she sings. She is both beautiful and fanfreakingtabuloustic!
68 years young during this performance. Phenomenal! Dame Shirley in an interview, contributed her vocal abilities and longevity to fitness, diet and sleep. She said she was fanatical going to the gym daily! I'm sure being blessed with good genes helped too. Dame Shirley Bassey is on class act!
After mor than four decades when she sang it first (Goldfinger) there's the same magic about her; seems to me she's getting better and better. What an enormous voice and performance again in "The living Tree". And this is written on October 27th in 2019. Dame Shirley, we do love you !!
watching this as a full grown 67 year old man and I am in sheds of tears, not only is the iconic Dame Shirley Bassey my idle but seeing her majesty looking so majestic and radiant reminds me we no longer have her, the UK and the world will never be the same without her, she was a one off and we miss her so very very much, thank the lord we still have our Dame Shirley
I'm a music addict, especially music that actually 'says' something, and which are both expressive and meaningful. I'm s pianist and if people ask me who my favourite vocal female artist is, it takes a nanosecond to say Dame Shirley Bassey. Every time I think I can't be more impressed I discover something new. Besides her humbleness and stage performance and class she communicate in song what I cannot otherwise. Her personal history is also captivating. May I say I worship her?
Always gives me goosebumps when I listen to the finale- love it when one of those twins just goes WOW, when she’s finished singing- Dame Shirley- amazing! ❤️❤️
She is all talent and grace. Doesn’t need to appear half naked nor expose herself like these Madonna GaGa blah-blah types. She leaves everyone breathless, a truly incomparable singer. A true Dame.
A great Finalé !! Even though the Trapdoor Lift halted, then restarted, as Shirley was singing the closing number !! But that's LIVE productions for You !!! 👍🏻😀
Never be an era like this again , god bless parky , as for Shirley Bassey no one will ever ever ever emulate her voice and presence on a stage . I've had the pleasure of seeing Shirley live seven times and I will never ever forget those moments . The world was a much better place back then
Shirley Bassey: The Celebrity of celebrities. She was 68 here, if you can believe the supremacy of the woman. That elevator entrance was altruistic superstardom 💖
Wot a voice! 'The Living Tree' would have made a superb James Bond theme. Shirley is as brilliant as ever. She could even make the Australian national anthem sound good.
No need to turn up the volume here! Young ladies: get your singing technique (my what?) up to level! A true gem, a legend! (P.S.: and those twins are sooo cute!) "The Living Tree"' is per se a singing lesson by its sheer volume, amplitude and breath support! Peerless and unmatched!

Now that's what I call a singer. Nobody in todays music scene could lace her shoes. Her vocal power is beyond amazing.
Absolutely dear: she is and will remain unmatched forever!
Perfectly said! "The Living Tree" is incredible.
Old excellent tresures remain!And Shirley Bassey is one of those.May her voice continue echoing!Congratula toins

What a great Singer she is. Thank you. SHIRLEY BASSEY for all these past performances on videos. It's great to look back and still enjoy so much. 👍

I Reach for the Stars.......As I Love you ....songs that will always live in my memory....❤
What a star Bassey is- no one can touch her
But Alas most will only wake up to what we see after she's gone 😢

So good to be able to rely on great music during some of these uncertain times.
Watching in October 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best! Amazing singer. No one’s can sing like her.. love her.. her music.
Marvelous and wonderful artist . . .
Wow, what a voice, from 1964 to 2005, almost the same. Bravo!!
Irrepetible, jamas subira a un escenario alguen como ella, Dios la bendiga por muchos años.
Just lovely. My fellow Capricorn, Dame Shirley Bassey. I adore you. You make the world a happy place
That was one of the most impressive finales I can remember of a Royal Variety Performance that I can remember.
Beautiful voice. There is no one like her ❤
True perfection, she is a national treasure. You simply don't get this level of spectacular anymore!

First time I've heard it. Wonderful!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is the best of the best ❤❤❤❤
True, She is.! ❤
Wow ..what an espectacular closing act ….
Most singers lose something off their top registers as they age but not Dame Shirley. If anything, she gets even better. And it's hard to get better than superb but she does. Incredible vocal power and precision.
Especially when she doesn’t even need a mic lol! She’s such a powerhouse. Simply amazing.
She did lose her E5s but I agree that her voice got better after she got classical music lessons. I loved her 70s voice though

Wow wow. You NAILED IT DAME SHIRLEY. JOANN LAMONICA. ONEONTA NY
Wot a voice! 'The Living Tree' would have made a superb James Bond theme. Shirley is as brilliant as ever. She could even make the Australian national anthem sound good.
I always thought that, would’ve been a perfect bond theme!
What a voice!!!!
I really feel we need a chant on: There is only ONE Dame ~Shirley Bassey. Afer Dame Vera, and Dame Shirley, we really have sod all.
Sunday 11th December 2005
TOP of the TOP singers In all the world.
I love her! My favorite is PLAY ME, with Neil Diamond.
No need to turn up the volume here! Young ladies: get your singing technique (my what?) up to level! A true gem, a legend! (P.S.: and those twins are sooo cute!) "The Living Tree"' is per se a singing lesson by its sheer volume, amplitude and breath support! Peerless and unmatched!
Maravilloso es decir poco. Que poder.
The trap door late entrance cock up made it more amazing haha
Simply the best voice ever.
How she commands the orchestra and audience outstanding
I know you will never read this....a humble. mate from Bristol uk
She just hit a C5 last month! She still has got it!
Wow!!!! Outstanding. 1/4/2023. JO-ANN. LAMONICA. AMERICA. NONE BETTER. NEVER WILL BE!!!!NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
