how??
how can someone sing exactly like the studio version????
is he really a human???
or superhuman??
TTD: Time To Draw He doesn’t over auto tune
He sings this live! Can't you hear the difference??
Are you stupid? The audio is processed, auto tuned and corrected in the editing before they upload the clip on youtube. Madonna did the same thing on her terrible Eurovision performance.
@@sa.t.2507 I am very sorry but you are wrong. Sam Smith has a gorgeous, outstanding voice like no other. He doesn't use autotune, hits every SINGLE note PERFECTLY and even adds a bit of a spice by changing a small piece of the song live. You are my friend, once again, very wrong if you think that Sam uses a slightest pitch of autotune.
Listen to Dimash ( sos, opera #2, hello).
His voice is unbelievable. And the orchestra sounds amazing.
Edit: Their voice*
i'm the 2020th like!!!! so proud for no reason!!
Then you should hear the same song by Conchita Wurst!
THEIR voice
@@hala-tf6zt I made this comment two years ago. Back then, I had no idea Sam Smith identified as non-binary, and I think they only talked about this subject in 2019. I meant no disrespect.
@@marcelafranca2323 oh sorry . i didn't notice that . i just wanted to remind you ❤
Producers: ok let's get the auto tune in here
Sam: I am the auto tune
i am iron man
They tried to auto tune it and the computer was just like "I'm chillin' bro."
Exactly. He has a naturally built-in auto-tune. Sam Smith is pure talent. ❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to say that this is one of the most beautiful "James Bond" theme-songs that I'd ever heard.
Definitely. A well-deserved Oscar win for sure.
After golden eye
Agree 💕
So true
Well I have a soft spot for "The World Is Not Enough"
Sam Smith could sing about mitosis and it'd still be beautiful.
Truee XD
Are you kidding me; if Sam Smith had written a song about mitosis I wouldn't have failed biology in high school!
Cassandra P I don't know what that is but I agree!!!
I can't believe you just said that...
Roger Moore I guess you'd know Roger you were the worst Bond ever.
He admitted this song is hard to sing, said the key is too high. Well that's a humbling thing to say, even he struggles to singing his own songs lol
He makes Singing that song seem so easy with those beautiful eyes and voice
SimplyMJ did that sound like struggling dude ? Obviously not ,you wanna see struggling go check charlie puth live shows where that guy is almost choking on his own songs 😂
You should listen to James Graham from The Four perform this song!!!
Well it sure doesn't look like it
if he did struggle, i could hardly tell. he's so freaking talented!!
The BBC’s orchestra is always stunning. Some of the best in the business.
After 4 years, rewatched and listened to this song, still got goosebump when Sam sings : For you, I have to risk it all....This guy is legends.
Yeah he sang one of the best theme ever made.
Me too ! . . .
Everybody’s mesmerized by Smith’s voice skills, but I’m equally mesmerized by the orchestra’s music skills.
He sings so effortlessly, truly amazing!
Diyora Akhmedova yes, but trust me. He is focused af, this song is incredibly hard 😭 he was so stressed while Oscars tho 😭
You can see his him focusing when he intentionally drop his jaw as he sing high notes to make them 100% relaxed)
i feel stupid saying the same thing u did but i agree lol smh
his voice is incredible
my only critique what in 70s hell is he styled like.
Sammy Hastings it doesn't matter, his voice tone and vocal range is to die for
hes a falsetto cheater.
And he doesn’t like his own voice. 😏
@@godddd.6857 you should know by now not to say he say they
I appreciate this type of audience, they let the artist showcase his/her artistry and not flood the sound with their cheers or screams or try to record every single thing that happens on stage!
Love this version of Sam. Simple genius and making it all look just so easy.
Thanks for speaking up. I also like this "version" of Sam better
yes.agreed.👍💯
I love how the audience is just entranced by his voice. When I saw him live, it was like I was stunned and not able to move or do anything but watch in awe.
You are so lucky.. I wanna see him live as well.., 😭
I think I would be entranced too
Goosebumps every time
This! I had the same experience.
Same
appreciation for the absolutely amazing orchestra who never fail to do a flawless job
True, pure perfection!!!!
BBC Concert Orchestra
One of my favorite parts is the low brass when they get a little solo
The very best James Bond theme song I’ve heard. I’ve listened to this over and over again. It’s captivating.
I keep going back to it. Makes tears come to my eyes. Sam Smith had the most beautiful voice and all his songs are Oscar wins.
And Adele skyfall
literally crying, their voice was amazing here and the orchestra was breathtakingly beautiful. one of my favourite songs ever. perfection.
It's a duet but only the woke know that truth
@@ethangarcia854the commenter is simply using the pronoun Sam chose. It‘s just a respectful gesture.
@@bachelorette2209that's not really relevant. we're just complementing Sam for the performance. I don't understand why we can't just leave opinions aside and respect the artistry. im tired of hearing the word "woke" in places that don't even make sense.
His* he's not more than one person.
Wait..I only see one person singing, I’m confused
his voice is actual silk
His voice is like liquid gold👌✨
aisha yahya kamil yazss
Liquid?
That is like a statement from Simon Cowell towards Alice in BRT after she sang my funny valentine for the audition
Wow Sam Smith can sing...
World-class orchestra+ soothing voice+ mature audience = UA-cam Premium
Yesss exactly 🎉🎉
World class voice too
Who's still listening? The song is sung perfectly, 100% on spot... Is he even human?
They*
@@mephisto1039 did your reply make kevin change his word to they mephisto, did it? stupid
My my.. I'm always amazed by the way he manages to sound so similar to the album versions or even better in live performances
Ana Fonseca Couldn't agree more ❤
Cause he’s so good he doesn’t need all that editing most singers do, he sounds good in studio and live because it’s his actual voice
Just like Adele
pure talent both him and the orchestra
Total agree
Nobody can say a single negative thing about this performance! It is perfect!
I prefer the performance of this song on the Graham Norton Show, but we really are splitting hairs.
He looked nervous here though. Understandably because it’s BBC, a huge broadcast plus the fact that it’s a bond theme so you have the BBC entire britain plus bond fanatics peering at you…and also because Sam himself (or themselves) said this one of the songs he finds challenging to sing live. I tried singing this song to my vocal coach and made a couple of mistakes despite having practiced it several times. This song requires power and softness with lots of concentration on hitting and holding the notes correctly as you journey up and down your falsetto and chest voice, not to mention trying your best to give out a consistent vibrato while making sure you “budget” your breathing appropriately. It’s crazy.
Yo sí, su voz es tan perfecta y está tan concentrado en ello que se olvida de su lenguaje corporal y su dominio escénico.. solo se balancea de un lado al otro transmitiendo tensión.
Sam Smith's live Bond theme performance is a mesmerising masterpiece. Comments worldwide echo awe for his superhuman vocal talent and the orchestra's brilliance. It's an unforgettable musical experience.
This is how heaven sounds like
Vathnea Toch how do you know this is sound from heaven ? Did you go to heaven ?
Lqmn Ysry That is because his voice sounds beautiful and he is very good singer,P.S. this perfomance is 🔝.
Vathnea Toch 🙂🙂
If I die and I go to Heaven and the angels won't be singing with beautiful voices like this, I will be highly dissapointed.
Lqmn Ysry hes trying to say the song is amazing
He nails this song every single time
Well except that one time at the Oscars
Bryant Gamez he still sounded amazing it just wasn’t his best
Except in the movie.
@@bryantgamez5083 that was just after he had vocal cords surgery
This song gives me the chills. Sam Smith has an amazing voice range.
He sings so naturally and he sings like angel with wings...he is my inspiration and he's made so many people happy with his wit and smooth and beautiful voice!! He has me under his spell ...who else is under?? ..in 2019?
I agree but it's not he it's them
@@Jax_the_kat44 that's your opinion. Keep your braindead ideology to yourself, while people with real problems acknowledge reality 🙈
I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime runnin'
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay
I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in runnin'
This is something I gotta face
[Pre-Chorus]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I wanna feel love run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall
[Verse 2]
A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I wanna feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall
[Bridge: Instrumental]
The writing's on the wall
[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I wanna feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I wanna feel love run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall
Celine Naser thank you for the lyrics. But it’s would you break my fall.
9ce😭
@@tippusultan8173 no it's not
Listen to the studio version
@@tippusultan8173 No, its’ “could”
If singers were ranked, he's like top top top S rank, in my opinion he is the best singer in the world. Never heard anyone as good as him live
Maverick Garcia i agree completely
Heard of freddie mercury before!!
ahmed gamal i think he was great but cmon Sam gotd it too
He is a great George Michael fan 🙌🙏
Maverick Garcia absolutely agree.. as a singer i always admire his perfect vocal technique, just flawless
I miss this version of Sam Smith ☺
This was the comment I was looking for
The self-conscious, self doubtful version? I like the unapologetically queer version 🤩
I prefer the “version” of them that isn’t afraid of being themself even if they risk not being palatable anymore
@@brooke.t.g.r5646 wonderfully said
He will turn to this version soon trust me
One of the best bond songs ever. His voice goes under your skin...
omg I want to see him live
Winona Wu oh my gosh me too
I hope you have managed to catch him in his world tour now.
You must, I thought he was somehow much better in person. It was almost a religious experience.
I saw him a few nights ago in concert and he was beyond amazing! I can’t stress enough how talented he is! Ugh it was so good
genious
This is my best favorite song, best of sam’s art.
Fav bond song. Gave me goose bumps watching at cinema
Still one of the best live performances ever
I can only think of Bond taking down Blofeld when I hear this song. This song was so perfect with Spectre. So many Bond songs become inseparable from the movie. The lone exception is LaLD by Wings.
What’s the point of doing a studio recording when this man sings exactly like the recorded version 100 % live 🤷♂️❤️
The fact that his voice remains exactly same is just Spectacular.... Truly a miracle !!
His voice no matter what he does (in his songs and when live) sounds so perfect and natural and I love it 🧡
One of my favorite "Bond" songs. They sound just as good live as the studio version.
This orchestra compliments his voice incredibly well.
I so proud of him! He is one of the greatest singers of all time and he is living a happy part of his life right now 💙💙💙💙
Them* they* they*
Yeah they
@@denhurensohn9276 No, him. Wake up.
Such an amazing, out of this world blazing talent, I have chills all over because his voice octaves, are just superhuman like! He's blessed beyond measure!!!
This is one of the most beautiful music performances I've ever watched 😲🤩 I still can't believe how beautiful Sam Smith's voice is 😌 it's crazy! I've loved this song since it came out ♥️
So effortless. I swear I can play this, and feel like it's the studio cut. Simply amazing.
His live performances are simply breathtaking. Goosebumps! 💕
First time I ever heard his beautiful and unique voice, I Immediately said this man has got what it takes to go to the top and stay there. It just getting better and better!!!
He is one of the rare singers that can sing exactly like the studio version. I got goosebumps.
Omg I Love You...I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times and every single time I break down...Thank you Thank You for making such BEAUTIFUL MUSIC 🎶❤️💕
1:58 is so powerful
So beautiful.
James Graham can also give tribute to this song.
Absurdamente maravilhoso! Esplêndido! Magnífico! Perfeito! Música linda, interpretação impecável, orquestra afinadissima! Uooou bravo! 🎶🎶👏👏👏👏
Podría escuchar a Sam cantar 24/7 y jamás aburrirme! Incredible amazing! I'm so in love with the way he sing, 100% soul!!💛💛💛💛
how the hell does he sound so close to the studio version....This is just amazing. Awesome vocals man. He just does this so effortlessly
Tears ran down my face, even diring up beat songs.. How blessed you are with such a voice Sam Smith... What a pleasure it was to see you sing live, precious memory💞👑
He looks a lot healthier here. In every way. A gay man. Without all the confusion. Hope he finds himself again. Hes completely lost and f'd up right now by whoevers twisted all his thoughts. Poor guy. Such a beautiful voice. 💜
Sorry but this is the best he’s ever looked
Agreed 😅he let himself go since
Poor guy, must be really unhappy to have let him self get to the point he's in now
oh you really like it when people are depressed and miserable
@@michaelsutton6532 no, they’re happier and feel free. mind your own
to YOU. when will people realise that your view on someone else does NOT MATTER. especially when it’s about comparing someone’s past to their present- when they are happier.
What happened to him? It’s scary what he’s turned into.
He's just himself
it's scary the amount of bigotry that their transition has exposed
@@key2jhs216He wasn’t topping the charts anymore so he had to cheapen himself to get back to the top. He has an amazing gift that shouldn’t be reduced to trashy, over sexualized pop music. No bigotry, just sad to see talent wasted because he still has an emotional, touching voice, but he won’t show case it in his new music I’m sure.
I have never heard him before. He looks normal to me, what do you mean he looked like before?
The most wonderful song I ever heard
The live he did on the graham show was soo perfect. He sung it beautifully👑
Brilliant vocal masterpiece.
OMG Amazing Sam!!!! This is what the live performance of this song should be! Perfect!
2021 😌 still love his perfomance
I’ve been here before
But always hit the floor
I’ve spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I’m feeling something
That makes me want to stay
Unprepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I’m going to make it through the day
Then there’s no more use in running
This is something I’ve got to face
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When you’re not here I’m suffocating
I want to feel love
Run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cos the writing’s on the wall
A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won’t be afraid
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When you’re not here I’m suffocating
I want to feel love
Run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cos the writing’s on the wall
The writing’s on the wall
How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When you’re not here I’m suffocating
I want to feel love
Run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
How do I live?
How do I breathe?
When you’re not here I’m suffocating
I want to feel love
Run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cos the writing’s on the wall
Que harmonia maravilhosa! Que lindo!
I was transported for other place. Amazing orchestra and brilliant voice.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Best ever James Bond song - and Ive heard them all from Shiley Bassey onwards......what a song, what a talent
No Autotune, pure Talent... This is Sam Smith... Brilliant!!!
This song is absolutely wonderful, beautifully written, fantastic arrangement and amazing voice - and what a range of voice! This is possibly the best Bond song and is perhaps very underrated.
Thankyou
Gaaaa!!! ... so drawn in... I'm in awe, speechless! God given voice! Thank you!
Wow!!! I got here to see how good he is in a live presentation outside of a studio. This is a talented gentleman, no difference between a live and a studio presentation,he is that good,,Amazing!! It's incredible how easy he can manipulate his voice tone !!! I see a Bright furure for Sam Smith. God bless you!!!!
This song made me fall in love with Sam Smith songs. I'll follow all his album
That piano part always gives me chills 😍 His voice is sensational.
Probably, one of the most evocative Bond Themes ever written and performed...(elypsis)...The name's Spectre.
"It's not a person, it's a place"
Incredible voice - actually one of the best bond themes!
March 2019. Listening from New Zealand... Wow
After 1 year I hear this song again and I can't believe it's live😍 his voice is wonderful like silk and much better live than the audios💕
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
How can the orchestration ne so close to the studio version ? Absolutely amazing. I have no doubt that this version has not been corrected or auto-tuned.
Probably the best JB song ever! Qualitative live version! 😍
my favorite song
He has so much passion at his heart.... is just amazing...i can't he deserve more
How to follow his footstep,,,he is a Perfections,,,he's always blown my mind everytime i heard him singing❤❤❤
Sam Smith amo ele pra sempre !!! Talentoso, gentil , encantador.
Artista completo, voz linda, bela interpretação e inspirado compositor. Parabéns Sam Smith por seu admirável talento.
Can I just say that midnight train is the best song off the new album?
Ashraf Abdillah totally agree!!!! It's pure magic!
All songs r gold!
Ashraf Abdillah I feel like The Thrill Of It All was the best song of the album.
Def!
I am listening to him over and over . Brilliant, I love his voice and every tone touch my soul
Sam is one of truly soul touching singers of all time. I can be so certain of that.
Legend!
Can't help but shade a tear, this is great !
PQP que voz! Que música! De arrepiar!
We all leave a mark on this world when we leave, today I want to leave my mark here and say that I am happy to have been part of the generation that likes good music, music that touches our hearts, today I just want to say that the I love all of us who share this space, this time, this world.
So very beautiful it’s like angelic I love his voice & this song he did. 🥰🙏🏻
Whenever there is a Sam smith hater, make that person listen to the studio version and right after being that person here to make them stfu and acknowledge sam’s amazing voice ... and that’s on PERIOT
His voice is smoother than my skin . 😧
Voice so smooth and powerful, you could listen to it forever and never get bored.
I'd wish there was more of that 'thumb in the air' asset to really shows how much I love listening to his voice, his songs, this live!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sam , the voice of an angel.... He really is a beautiful singer, very delicate and powerful.... amazing performance, one more time !
*If someone sings the same as studio version , that means he doesn't use AUTOTUNE. That means he's a real singer.Periodt.*
Dear BBC, I have watched the show on the TV and I really loved it, especially the performance of “Like I can”. I can not find the full video from this exact concert anywhere! Is there a chance we all can embrace the full show somewhere?
maravilhoso. Wonderful. Amazing!
