Not only that she sings the heck out of this song,but,the way she expresses the song as she sings it through her body language is sexy and cool. She's a recording legend.
I love watching her sing. Not only is she a truly phenomenal vocalist, but I’m so impressed by her control; over her expressions, hands, breath, everything. Effortless is used a lot these days, but dame Shirley Bassey is a such natural performer, I’m in a trance.
She is a singing Queen. Yes, her voice is scary for the competitors as it's not auto-tuned. Do not get scared but respect Dame Shirley, which she deserves.
Never seen her actually sing this song and now that I have, I'm not disappointed! Her presence matches the power of the song perfectly. Beautiful lady!
Yes. And Dame Bassey never once scratched her backside nor pulled a nipple out nor spit on the audience! Wow... can music be made that way again? Got to go... one of the Kar-krash-ians' dogs have to Vote & I'm the show-fer.
50 years later and this song is still an amazing bop. The right amount of humor, camp, and sultriness. As much as I can’t live without the theme of “Goldfinger” I think I like “Diamonds are Forever” just a little bit more...
Dame Shirley is incomparable. The brilliance of the lyrics and orchestration is top notch as well. Who writes songs like that now? I really don’t know.
I was like 6 yrs. old seeing this in the movie theater with my mom when I was off on a "snow day", and even at that age I was completely mesmerized by this song and of course this voice. I've been a fan ever since.
That Voice.... makes me dream and close my eyes to listen even closer. Modern recording technology and things like auto-tune killed all the true "diamonds" of yet to be known singers. Sad but true!
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER ! Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me They can stimulate and tease me They won't leave in the night I've no fear that they might desert me Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it Touch it, stroke it and undress it I can see ev'ry part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me I don't need love, for what good will love do me? Diamonds never lie to me For when love's gone, they'll lustre on Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger Unlike men, the diamonds linger Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for I don't need love, for what good will love do me? Diamonds never lie to me For when love's gone, they'll lustre on Diamonds are forever, ...... forever.... forever !
Coldest song ever!!!! She sang it perfectly goodness I've watched this many times n it's still fresh!!! Kanye was genius for using this on his track historical!!!
Especially if we look at your internet history. You’re not into any “classy” things it seems, only when you need to use it as an opportunity to talkshit about women.
Awesome lyrics, some of the best I've ever heard (I love how they all flow in the same direction); Ms. Bassey's vocals, the arrangement and orchestra are as flawless as the diamonds she sings about........
If i was in her day i would totally date her, that voice and those levels are absolutely stunning and marvellous, she will live on forever. Dame shirley bassey
I am 70 years old; and have been a SB fan for more than 50 years! When she recorded the theme for 'Goldfinger' I was so enamored with her triple-time powerful voice; and then she comes along later with 'Diamonds Are Forever'...and I am still just speechless! I have often wondered ow they would sound, if she had done themes for 'You Only Live Twice,' and 'Never Say Never Again,' instead of Nancy Sinatra and Lani Hall??
I remember buying the soundtrack to "Diamonds Are Forever". The combination of John Barry's composition and orchestration plus Shirley Bassey's powerful vocals are still worth anything I have (time or money) to listen to it. But this video of her beautiful performance is especially wonderful to watch.
The brilliance of flawless diamonds,, Shirley, what a dish. She sure knew what I like. A satchel full of precious stones never hurts in the positive cash flow department as well. “ like the rock baby girl? 💍 It’s your’s.”
I love this song in the start her teachers told her to be quite, but she let herself flyand she did just that and shes one beautiful and most stunning singers i seen....
I wonder how many people realize she’s 86 years old and can still sing this the same way? 👍
Well, almost, the same. Nothing lasts forever, not even diamonds.
Not only that she sings the heck out of this song,but,the way she expresses the song as she sings it through her body language is sexy and cool. She's a recording legend.
Shirley Bassey=Queen of the Bond themes!
Mikey_Suze Four Always & Forever
ad infinitum!
Absolutely 💯
No autotune, just pure talent. They don't make them like this anymore.
Love you Dame Shirley.
They sure as hell do and I'm gonna fkn prove it
Ain't it the truth.
Just imagine that Cardi B fraud singing Diamonds are forever 😂😅😂
There will only be one Shirley Bassey in all of eternity! 🌟😇
One of the most beautiful voices ever
Her voice gives you goosebumps.
Same here!
When she belts it out at 2:23...
I love watching her sing. Not only is she a truly phenomenal vocalist, but I’m so impressed by her control; over her expressions, hands, breath, everything. Effortless is used a lot these days, but dame Shirley Bassey is a such natural performer, I’m in a trance.
She is a singing Queen. Yes, her voice is scary for the competitors as it's not auto-tuned. Do not get scared but respect Dame Shirley, which she deserves.
No one can touch this.
I could keep listening to this song forever, forever and ever
Me too...lastnight was amazing. Watch it!
Never seen her actually sing this song and now that I have, I'm not disappointed! Her presence matches the power of the song perfectly. Beautiful lady!
Yes. And Dame Bassey never once scratched her backside nor pulled a nipple out nor spit on the audience! Wow... can music be made that way again?

Oh my freaking God!😮😢😂
Master class stuff right there kids...😊
I’ve been binging on Dame Shirley for over a week now playing and re-playing Diamonds and Gold Finger !! Phenomenal majestic talent!
Luv the way she moves as she sings,,,and Goldfinger too!..Makes it even more alluring,,And her voice is spectacular ✨️
Good Lord! She is so beautiful, and her vocal talent is off the charts!
She looks like a diamond in this
50 years later and this song is still an amazing bop. The right amount of humor, camp, and sultriness. As much as I can’t live without the theme of “Goldfinger” I think I like “Diamonds are Forever” just a little bit more...
Amazing song ❤❤❤
Incrível. Uma das maiores interpretes de todos os tempos. Maravilhosa.
Beautiful girl......beautiful song,,,,& yes,,,I bought a diamond when i was married,,,,,but now divorced,,,but I still have the diamond........
Dame Shirley is incomparable. The brilliance of the lyrics and orchestration is top notch as well. Who writes songs like that now? I really don’t know.
The answer to that is ,,,they don’t.
This song I cannot describe the words as there are no words to say how beautiful this song is
I absolutely agree. I am at a loss for words! Incredible.
@Lucas. I agree, the song is beautiful. Even though it’s a bit misandrist.
This is 45 years old I know because that's when my mom was born
She is a diamond.
I was like 6 yrs. old seeing this in the movie theater with my mom when I was off on a "snow day", and even at that age I was completely mesmerized by this song and of course this voice. I've been a fan ever since.
Awesome pipes! She's never needed a microphone.
Talent, beauty, and style...triple threat!!!
THIS, ladies and germs, is true talent. I could take a bath in Shirley's silky Auto-Tune-free vocals.
That Voice.... makes me dream and close my eyes to listen even closer. Modern recording technology and things like auto-tune killed all the true "diamonds" of yet to be known singers.
Sad but true!
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER !
Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me
Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see ev'ry part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone, they'll lustre on
Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I don't need love, for what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone, they'll lustre on
Diamonds are forever,
...... forever.... forever !
Lyrics too--Very nice Jack!
jack van der heijden thank you
She has the best greatest ever voice 🙏💙💖💚🥰♥️😇👍🎊
It just can’t get better than this! 💥💥💥
Agreed!
Absolutely fabulous singer - never, never ever be another one like her.
Ladies and Gentlemen a lady of real class with an exceptional voice. It's the one and only Ms. Dame Shirley Bassey.
A maior cantora do planeta ❤
i am literally captivated 😮😍
Shirley Bassey #1 Bond song, Goldfinger. Nancy Sinatra #2 Bond song, You only live twice. #3 Ms. Bassey again, Diamonds are Forever....
It's fantastic how one of the most famous Bond theme songs is basically a female empowerment anthem
hahahahahaha
A white man John Barry Wrote her Songs.. But Her Talent sent it OUT...
James Bond is the man!
How is this female empowerment? It is a sad song about male abandonment. It doesn't empower anything. Just full of sorrow.
Miloš Milosavljević lol exactly.
One of my favorite singers of all time. A true legend.
❤❤❤❤❤❤como amo essa cantora com uma voz única ❤
I don't need love, for what will love do me. Sung by the best ever.
my best bond song ever!!!
LETS NOT FORGET GOLDFINGER SONG 😉
Pure class ....
This is my all time favorite Bond theme song! Ms Bassey was awesome on this one!!!
Coldest song ever!!!! She sang it perfectly goodness I've watched this many times n it's still fresh!!! Kanye was genius for using this on his track historical!!!

Boa tarde á todos, uma voz e uma música dessa não precisa nem embarcar em um avião, á voz e á música já é uma viagem no tempo. 👍👏👏👏
👍👏👏🙏
So much class... Rare these dayd
Sergio Halaby Not true. Check out Marina and the Diamonds - Froot. Now that's a classy video.
Especially when you can’t correctly spell “days”
Especially if we look at your internet history.
You’re not into any “classy” things it seems, only when you need to use it as an opportunity to talkshit about women.
One of the best female voices of all time if not the best such range and presentation
She had me in 1965 when she felt herself up singing Goldfinger.🤓
her voice and this dress are everything. periodt
Awesome lyrics, some of the best I've ever heard (I love how they all flow in the same direction); Ms. Bassey's vocals, the arrangement and orchestra are as flawless as the diamonds she sings about........
2020, still watching
My lady, thank you!
J'aime ces voies puissantes et avec de force ,et surtout quand ont dois chanté pour les films de James Bond c'est encore mieux ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such talent and class!
If i was in her day i would totally date her, that voice and those levels are absolutely stunning and marvellous, she will live on forever. Dame shirley bassey
I am 70 years old; and have been a SB fan for more than 50 years!

This song's 48 years old - I turned 54 back in Sept. - You do the math!
I remember buying the soundtrack to "Diamonds Are Forever". The combination of John Barry's composition and orchestration plus Shirley Bassey's powerful vocals are still worth anything I have (time or money) to listen to it. But this video of her beautiful performance is especially wonderful to watch.
