People accustomed to pole dancing being an exploitative, objectifying art form do not realise how truly difficult this that's here presented is technically complex and demanding. Her form is superb
I don't know anything about pole dancing. But I can see how high she grabs the pole, and the strength - core strength et al, that Twigs has, is phenomenal - and so controlled. Love her videos. In her 'studio' video for 'Cellophane', you can see how 'ripped' she is. If not seen already, would urge people to give her performances on "later with Jools Holland" a look too - and see her with a sword. She is *so* talented, in so many ways. A 2020's (and earlier!) visual storyteller & singer, with the influences of Kate Bush & Bjork, *so* updated, and accessible to all..
I've tried pole dancing at one of those try out classes and it's extremely difficult. Prejudiced people don't understand the strength, power, flexibility and confidence it takes to do that. One of the most empowering things I've experienced was actually nailing one of the moves lol
Wow, I never heard of this artist before - I kinda live under a rock. I discovered her by accident because this song ended a TV show I was watching, and the voice and message were so raw in it, I had to search it on UA-cam to hear more. Wow, what an artist - performance, voice, lyrics, blew me away! Took me by surprise. She's a poet - truly different than anything I've seen before. Now the question is, why haven't I heard of her before?? And that's what amazed me. She's all in!! This isn't usually my genre, but good is good and you know it when you hear it no matter what genre you're comfortable with. She stands apart - spellbinding and enigmatic. There's only two kinds of music anyway - good and bad. She's a poet. She touches the soul. She got my attention and I usually live under a rock when it comes to the latest thing. Mesmerizing. Deserves more recognition. I guess because she's a true artist that doesn't need a PR agent to promote her. She's not that crass. She just loses herself in her music and let's her music do the talking and that's enough for her. How refreshing in this day and age when what you are speaks so loudly, you can't hear what anyone is saying anymore - all surface no depth. My hat's off to you girl! And yes, that stage is to small to contain you! Deserves a bigger venue, but she's a take-what-you- can-get girl - because she can take whatever she can get and make art out of it. Reminds me of those artists who will take bottle caps or zippers and make art out of them. They'll take a common object that most people throw out and make you see it in a whole new way. An artist. You go girl!
yikes! Only other one that comes to mind is Bon Iver when they did Holocene years ago. It’s similar to this in that the audience likely had no exposure to the musician beforehand, and all of a sudden were punched in the gut with an incredibly emotional experience (and beautiful performance).
Idk if I’m desensitized to poles atp in culture with so much hyper sexual iSEE stuff out now but she did give a story type dance to the pole I’ve never see b4 except mabey cirque de sole
I was watching a radio broadcast recording and she had a whole dance routine, like she knew damn well nobody was going to see the dance but she did it for the ART
Her commitment shines through. Lots of artists take themselves seriously (no matter the genre), but that dedication to their craft does not always translate outwardly. There is being an artist and then there is being perceived as an artist (vs an entertainer or vocalist) by the audience.
I had read that she was trained in opera and frankly this is very operatic. The themes, the visuals, the music; this is legendary. I’d love to see an opera composed by FKA Twigs because it’d be transcendental. An icon, truly.
Props to Jimmy for having her on. He’s always brought on musicians you typically wouldn’t see on late night...I wonder if The Roots have a hand in that
This is so painful to watch to be honest. I feel like an intruder to her diary. An intruder to her life. We look up to these artists we forget they are real humans too, with real emotions. I hope nothing but the best for twigs. I feel like I already know who this song is for. Kind of. Hope they are both healing from the heartbreak. Amazing how art can be created out of hurt. This life is mysterious.
She actually sounds even better live, how rare is that? Incredible voice and performer. It's a shame other artists are trying to discredit & downplay her talent and work...
@@lolopop12345 it is you, she has been invited couple of times before. Fka is not so groundbreaking to the point shell make people uncomfortable, yall are not that different.
My interpretation of the pole scene: she began having fun, but it became too much like work. She was tired, but she got up again. She tried harder even tho she was more tired. She went upside down for him, for them. She spun circles. She did everything and gave everything until there was nothing left but to fall into a puddle of who it is you happen to be now.
she sings as if shes playing an instrument and she dances as if she is singing shes one of very few artists that make me feel the same way great music before the mid 90s did.
and she was snubbed with her performance at the grammy’s. i’m in no way downplaying her skills or pole dancing’s validity but at a music award show, she of all people deserved to showcase her musical talent. LOVE YOU TWIGS
and they didn't show a lot of her dancing, it was as if they were afraid of her kind of honest sexuality. On the grammy's she was like the female embodiment of Prince's sexual persona.
I said the Same thing! I loved her prince tribute but I feel like she could’ve done it without usher and showcased her dance AND vocal ability like she showed here. She deserves the recognition. Instead we got performances from the freaking Jonas Brothers and lil nas x, love them but COME ON. GRAMMYS should be the time for real PERFORMERS TO SHINE
Her vocals are so raw and heartbreaking, the way she vocalises every emotion and then turns into a beautiful performance maintaining the emotion in every ounce of this performance is insane. She really deserves so much recognition
I pray for FKA Twigs, may she find someone who can hold her, cherish her, support her, and love her in the grandest of ways possible. She is an amazingly resilient & powerful being. I pray for your happiness, health, and for you to have love reflected back at you at every corner you meet, dear Fka Twigs
After I had my car accident I was listening to this song on repeat because I thought I was gonna die but I didn’t and this song gave me hope to live on with my life, every time I hear this song I’ll cry cause it remembers my car accident.
I'm in my 50's and her music, style and dance reminds me of the great Kate Bush. Keep your music raw and fresh. Compared to what is being played FKA Twigs will endure. Blessings my sister.
Oh man that Kate Bush is Straight demonic look into videos her dancing on skulls and vegetables it’s in reference to child murder and i don’t care if it sounds crazy it’s horrific when u start understanding the type spell you’re literally under and see I hope u do it’s sorcery
lol jimmy did not know how to interact with her at the end. she is too good for this show. Also, how have people not heard of her? She's already a huge star in my mind.
How did this video not go viral? The song alone should've done it... her vocals are sad and haunting yet stunning beautiful. Then she takes pole-dancing, which some consider lowbrow, and turns it into art. She is a true artist.
this never fails to make me sob n effing cry ugly especially after a long exhausting day of trying to distract yourself from everything that's stressing you out then you come home and play this. . it gives this strange comforting feeling despite how gut wrenchingly painful it is to listen to cellophane but it can never change how beautiful it sounds
I dont think people are afraid but rather have a hard time expressing themesleves in ways for people to understand them. One of the reasons why I love fka twigs is how different she is and how she stands out with her pole dancing and how her music uses forms of glitchy and techno type noises to accompany her angelic voice.
Proof that the best doesn't necessarily win. Her video was literally the best option. His was more popular but nothing that year came close to Cellophane
Here after the Grammys, have to say I’m incredibly disappointed in the Grammys for not letting this ethereal goddess perform at least one of her songs and instead making her dance backup to Usher doing a mediocre tribute to Prince
Years later, this remains among the best live performances on Fallon (imo #1 standalone performance on any late night show ever [and yes I've watched them all]).
One thing I have to say, she is amazing and how she has shown that pole dancing isn’t just a sexual dance it’s something that is beautiful and can convey a lot of emotion...
I think this song is about him, the ending conffirmed it for me. (They're watching, they're waiting, and hoping i'm not enough) the twilight stans clearly were teally rude towards their relationship
@@francograssi6600 I read about this song in the wikipedia now in google under 'Background and recording' It is confirmed the song is about her past relationship with Robert Pattinson.
Goosebumps. So beautiful. This should have been a Grammy performance. This has so much emotion and pain behind it. I can hear it and wish people would just leave her alone 😔
She's been massive among the underground in the UK for a while. Her and that tosser from Twilight were together for quite a while. It would be pretty sweet for her to get some more worldwide recognition.
Her marketing has been ineffective and quite messy. For example, some people are confused as to why the album was postponed and this is the first live performance to promote her music. She's extremely talented and her music is so great and I want her to gain the recognition she deserves but she needs better management and marketing
That was mesmerising. Her voice is hypnotic. I never thought pole dancing could be so intimate and melancholy but wow...that was something truly special.
This by far is the best musical performance I have seen on any talk shows and I'm 54. She is stunning and her talent is amazing. I can't understand such few likes. People should have to pay for this type of performance. She made this looks absolutely effortless. Every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry. I know who she wrote this for & he didn't even deserve someone like her with this much talent, beauty, grace, and quite obviously love she had for him imho. This musical arrangement is so beautiful as well and I performed classical music for over 6 years.
Weird, because Twigs did a podcast this year where she says fans jump to a lot of the wrong conclusions. Twigs was attacked by Kristen Stewart fans, not Rob's fans. His ex has crazy fans who attack any woman he gets near, even his co-stars who he's never dated. There is no beef between Rob and Twigs. Rob says, "I''m on good terms with all my exes," and Twigs did a podcast with Julia Fox this year, 2023, where she said Rob is a sweet person and also Cellophane isn't about him. She said fans jump to a lot of wrong conclusions. Her words.
she learnt pole dancing when she worked as a stripper. sex work is work and it takes skill and deserves as much respect as any other job including dancers, entertainers and athletes
L O R I you assume I see it as just stripping. I think it’s another form of dance with some acrobatic twist. So kudos to anyone that does this dance form because I already know how much work it is to just learn how to dance.
This isn't talent. This is pure dedication, work, effort, breathing, creating, imagining, overcoming pain and frustration, and doing it all over again when others wouldn't until it's perfect. Bravo miúda! És do crl!
so intimate and visceral and so so vulnerable. what a love gone or not to experience such love we can also be gratefully beautifully heartbroken, devastated beautifully
fka twigs is a performance artist. she didn't have to do the pole sequence but she did it's the most beautiful form of surrender . authenticity and beauty in Magdalene that only few people can recognize.... hope she doesn't blow up like the weeknd
That part! When he was doing THE KNOWING and ECHOES OF SILENCE. the House of balloons album. And Thursday. 🤯 But yeah FKA Twigs is breathtaking. Puts people in Awe
Femi Mark I absolutely agree with you that there are better artists out there. In my opinion she is an awesome creative with a lot of tools on her tool belt. It just blows my mind how many artists like her don’t get the recognition they deserve.
Imagine being in the audience not knowing who she is, then experiencing this
I have sent her videos to everyone I know and they all asked me to stop because they “weren’t into it.”
so sad for them.
Happened to me on her previous tour. Instantly sold, I was.

I never thought that a pole dance would make me cry.
I guess I'm in the minority but I was not moved by this at all
She is not a pole dancer ... shes a dancer and chose to learn the art of pole dancing
I hope you went and watched the actual video for Cellophane because it is amazing and even more moving.

@@jinkzava yes, but I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to Meoline.

It really was! It pulled me in and made me feel some type of way..
Ikr she deserves everything
Idk if I’m desensitized to poles atp in culture with so much hyper sexual iSEE stuff out now but she did give a story type dance to the pole I’ve never see b4 except mabey cirque de sole
I refuse to believe that she is real, no one should be allowed to be so holistically complete as an artist. What an icon.
Yeah, that dance performance was remarkable. I knew she could sing, but I didn't know she was even more talented. That was beautiful.

I honestly didn’t know this! I’m an opera singer, and I absolutely love this. So much more respect for her!
If she was trained in opera then she has amnesia. Her voice sounds like shit.
I thought the same!! It reminded me of this opera singer who was AMAZING on Conan and his uncultured audience barely clapped.
She should have performed at the Grammy’s last night.
She could single handedly outshine ariana demi billie performance lmao
Crackhead Incorporated IKR
She did lol! During the Prince tribute.
technically she did but nobody handed her a mic
Gorgeous voice, face, legs, art, ... I think she would've outshined the big names.
Grammys if yall doesnt give her an award at least give her yall whole stage next year.
Adit Pratama I would actually watch for once.
Grammys are a joke now. I mean, it's very rare when real artists win.
Truedt, she really deserve a Grammys and somehow her uniqueness is undeniable.
Adit Pratama you really gon put twigs on the same stage as marshmallow?😅
Nah we need a new awards untouched by imitation and popular demand.. where artists control their content and we sit and admire
sometimes ... it feels like she isn't even real, just a fragment of somebody's beautiful imagination ...
I agree. Beautifully said!
Every single nuance of this performance touches me. The paino, the lyrics, the hurt in Twigs voice, her dancing.... This is art....

Goosebumps still. Jimmy's show doesn't even seem mature enough for something this raw, artistic, and deeply beautiful.
I had to do a double take: like did this woman just bring a pole onto the Jimmy Fallon show? Yes she did, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
I do pole and can attest to the fact that her performance is extremely difficult but she's a polefessional!! So amazing
One must have a lot of control to do that with such grace.
ive always wanted to know, does it hurt when you're spinning by your legs? like does the pole burn or pinch you?

It sucks that people influenced by greater more thriving people get the awards instead of the actual influencers.
If this is what she does for Jimmy Fallon I can’t even imagine the incredible performances she has planned for the Grammys
Here after the Grammys, have to say I’m incredibly disappointed in the Grammys for not letting this ethereal goddess perform at least one of her songs and instead making her dance backup to Usher doing a mediocre tribute to Prince
Years later, this remains among the best live performances on Fallon (imo #1 standalone performance on any late night show ever [and yes I've watched them all]).
I thought she was moving in slow motion for a moment. No, she's just that fluid. ♥️
This has become part of my morning routine: wake up, make tea, watch the Fallon performance, get dressed, go to work. And I'm very okay with this.
if Robert Pattinson wouldn’t have broken her heart we wouldn’t have gotten this banger

Hmm....you could be right
Why did he dump her. I heard his family didn't like her. His loss.
loretta young where did you hear that
she has shia, i think she's doing just fine.
One thing I have to say, she is amazing and how she has shown that pole dancing isn’t just a sexual dance it’s something that is beautiful and can convey a lot of emotion...
fka twigs? more like i lost my wigs
RIP wigs
This comment is gold. Bless you. 👏🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 i cant
HAHAHA OMG
this video just called told me that i’m enough in 12 different languages
this is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen
Who knew that silly little viral meme was actually this beautiful masterpiece.
she was in her ZONE. simply mesmirizing. I don't think ANYONE has every pole danced on Fallon before and she made it look so easy. incredible.
i honest to god just had a religious experience
c b honestly this is how I feel when I listen to a lot of music. I genuinely feel like I got saved lmao
AMEN!
amen sista
THIS is how you flex on your ex
You mean Robert Pattinson ?
I think this song is about him, the ending conffirmed it for me. (They're watching, they're waiting, and hoping i'm not enough) the twilight stans clearly were teally rude towards their relationship
@@francograssi6600 I read about this song in the wikipedia now in google under 'Background and recording' It is confirmed the song is about her past relationship with Robert Pattinson.
Quinn Z they were racist
Hurts Ma soul 😭
Goosebumps. So beautiful. This should have been a Grammy performance. This has so much emotion and pain behind it. I can hear it and wish people would just leave her alone 😔
Dude this is really powerful I hope she breaks through
Bob Juarez what for?
She's been massive among the underground in the UK for a while. Her and that tosser from Twilight were together for quite a while. It would be pretty sweet for her to get some more worldwide recognition.
she’s already super successful lol she’s just not gonna be a radio hits girl
Her marketing has been ineffective and quite messy. For example, some people are confused as to why the album was postponed and this is the first live performance to promote her music. She's extremely talented and her music is so great and I want her to gain the recognition she deserves but she needs better management and marketing
Jose A so many British artists need way better management and marketing tbh
fka twigs: dances on a pole
me: *cries*
It hits you
Same same
😂😂😂 same
That was mesmerising. Her voice is hypnotic. I never thought pole dancing could be so intimate and melancholy but wow...that was something truly special.
This by far is the best musical performance I have seen on any talk shows and I'm 54. She is stunning and her talent is amazing. I can't understand such few likes. People should have to pay for this type of performance. She made this looks absolutely effortless. Every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry. I know who she wrote this for & he didn't even deserve someone like her with this much talent, beauty, grace, and quite obviously love she had for him imho. This musical arrangement is so beautiful as well and I performed classical music for over 6 years.
Weird, because Twigs did a podcast this year where she says fans jump to a lot of the wrong conclusions. Twigs was attacked by Kristen Stewart fans, not Rob's fans. His ex has crazy fans who attack any woman he gets near, even his co-stars who he's never dated. There is no beef between Rob and Twigs. Rob says, "I''m on good terms with all my exes," and Twigs did a podcast with Julia Fox this year, 2023, where she said Rob is a sweet person and also Cellophane isn't about him. She said fans jump to a lot of wrong conclusions. Her words.
Silencing her, putting her as Usher’s backup dancer during the Grammy’s Prince tribute.. appalling.
Yes absolutely disgraceful she deserves way better
No one silenced her
was she silent.. or......?
@@RAnderwill slienced 🤐🤏
she was sliced ?
She made poled dancing look like a masterpiece
It IS a masterpiece!
@@angiejare fax
it is, its not just stripping it’s a sport
Its art
Made me feel like visit a strip club and play moonlight Sonata
It’s acrobatics guys... stop seeing pole dancing as something only strippers do. It’s literally an art and a sport.
she learnt pole dancing when she worked as a stripper. sex work is work and it takes skill and deserves as much respect as any other job including dancers, entertainers and athletes
it’s still an art and a sport when strippers do it
amy it is but people only see it as stripping and it’s more than that.
Valeria Garcia the only one seeing it as “only stripping” here seems to be you...
L O R I you assume I see it as just stripping. I think it’s another form of dance with some acrobatic twist. So kudos to anyone that does this dance form because I already know how much work it is to just learn how to dance.
How am I only just seeing this performance of her now, that was unbelievable. Such talent and creativity. Amazing!
i’ve never seen anything this incredible on a talk show holy shit
yup i’m buying the record. this is one of the most beautiful performances i have ever seen in my enitre life...
I love how she can make any stage, her theater.
Me hearing this song in a tiktok about borzois in a miss piggy voice 🐷
Me hearing the actual song: 🤯
kermiiii
tiktok ruins everything wtf
This SHOULD be performed at Grammy's!
That's it's
The Grammys is a joke. They don’t deserve lol
@@MAXIMILIAN390 so true
Just mesmerizing
You're going to love her discography and visuals so much.
Damn dawg. U late to the party.
But welcome to the party. 🤗
Period Lyn
@@Project199x hahaha
I first discovered her with her song Two Weeks few years ago. It's one of my favorites!
The crowd was absolutely silent did you hear it
Her performances are even better in person.
Facts.!!
Miguel Kelly I don’t know why I read this as “her performances are even better in prison”
SHE WAS SNUBBED AT THE GRAMMYS. I CAN'T.
as i remember her when she released lp1
she got stronger, love her forever
That was amazing. Nothing is half done, all of the parts - the pole dance, the performance, the singing - were delivered 100%. Just thrilling!
Mackenzie Harper really? I thought everything was above great
@Mackenzie Harper are you a Twilight fan? Jw.
Mackenzie Harper probably. I wish I had your level of taste, Miss Mackenzie Harper
beautiful 😭❤️
would also like to shout out that my friend kelly is playing the piano 😭
So cool! I caught her set at End of the Road festival, she was amazing!
tell her she was amazing
Rory awesome!
She is phenomenal
Kelly Moran! Ultraviolet! Go listen to it people!!!
the last lyrics. "im not enough" please stop this is masterpiece tahliah is a masterpiece it self 😭😭 im a new fan!
this performance transcends the tonight show. nobody was worthy enough for that
I feel like she’s going to become very big and i rather she doesn’t but she deserves all the success she’s pure talent
I don't think she will tho. She's too artistic for the masses. Tbh. And she needs to be protected from the idiots that are in those masses.
tony m oh my goodness. I was just thinking the same thing.
I mean, she's pretty big in the UK.
alissandra333 yea but I feel like UK is more open minded with their music I could be wrong though cause I’m not from there.
alissandra333 she’s not big in the UK at all. Most people who recognise her know her as Robert pattinson’s ex fiancé
This isn't talent.
This is pure dedication, work, effort, breathing, creating, imagining, overcoming pain and frustration, and doing it all over again when others wouldn't until it's perfect.
Bravo miúda! És do crl!
memorising almost brought me to tears . Her grace strength beauty voice are on a higher level to any other female performing right now. ❤
This song breaks my damn heart. Why does she have to punch me directly in the feels?
after 200 times listening to it i still wanna cry every time
Because that what great artists do!
The goosebumps I got when I saw her heading towards the pole, the power this performance has the cello was beautiful
She’s such a boss for putting on a performance the way she did
I mean what other female artist could pull that off? Madonna? Beyonce? Nikki Minaj? Taylor Swift? No. She's one of a kind.
so intimate and visceral and so so vulnerable. what a love gone or not to experience such love we can also be gratefully beautifully heartbroken, devastated beautifully
fka twigs is a performance artist. she didn't have to do the pole sequence but she did it's the most beautiful form of surrender . authenticity and beauty in Magdalene that only few people can recognize.... hope she doesn't blow up like the weeknd
Right! Weeknd sure turned his music into pop garbage when he got big, didn't he?
@@ceIIardoor no. Ive always liked him and always will
i hope she does! she deserves to be heard, and her art deserves to be seen. if we truly love her and her creations, we can wish her only the best
That part! When he was doing THE KNOWING and ECHOES OF SILENCE. the House of balloons album. And Thursday. 🤯
But yeah FKA Twigs is breathtaking. Puts people in Awe
When i see FKA Twigs i go RIP Wigs.
Daniel K omg 😂
OMG, I hate yo' ass. 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
me
@@austing5804 Why is this funny? Am I missing somethig?
😂💀⚰️
I’m so glad she’s starting to get more recognition
Is it possible to feel your soul hurt when you watch and hear this? Like really hurt
She has more talent in her left little toe than majority of artists in pop today👀🤷🏿♂️! Glad to see twigs get more recognition.
Nothing but facts
I mean shes good but this comment reeks of ignorance lol. Many more talented folk
Femi Mark I absolutely agree with you that there are better artists out there. In my opinion she is an awesome creative with a lot of tools on her tool belt. It just blows my mind how many artists like her don’t get the recognition they deserve.
Everything she does is beautiful and profound. This moved me to my core and tears fell from my eyes.
This is one of the most vulnerable songs of the past decade. You can feel her pain in every word.
Not me crying once the strings came in 😭❤️❤️
