[@nancysung24]

The fact that her voice sounds exactly the same live as is it does in the soundtrack... So much respect

[@fivesballsack5555]

Yeah, some singers use auto tune or make there voices sound different but this.... This is beautiful

[@azashanaecoleman2344]

ikr that's what I was thinking I can't tell the difference she has a beautiful voice RESPECT

[@harleyquinn4017]

+Nancy Sung melanieeee

[@nancysung24]

hey babe

[@laraclexa9057]

its a bit fishy tho, right?

[@FreakyCookieHaaay]

Here is the thing about Birdy- She is one of the few singers that sound good without autotune or other things. She is amazing. Her lips aren't off sync...some singers have magic like that. They can hold their breath longer.

[@darcyboyyd]

They are out of sync actually. Not necessarily her fault, I'm pretty sure it's off editing. But you can also notice that you can hear her play a note on the piano and then a second later you actually see her play that note. But the audio and video are out of time, that's quite obvious

[@FreakyCookieHaaay]

omg I got lots of likes O.O

[@kimboshow]

Darcy Boyd True you could hear it at the end more !

[@MavisRileyJunior]

She certainly doesnt need autotune this is live .

[@cymen1]

Her fingers are out of sync aswell, meaning the video is out of sync. At 1:145 you can hear this is live, she shrugs "touch" if you listen very very carefully. She simply is one if not the best live singer ever.

[@Paint]

such an incredible song. highlight of the soundtrack.

[@lumoslayla7881]

I agree!

[@98bluff]

OMG!!!! I totally agree with one of my idols :D

[@louloucottam6129]

I defiantly agree

[@mackenzienichols917]

you should do a cover of this omg please! i would die (: please

[@cerriecanning7733]

Tee Shirt- Birdy. Another killer song!!

[@nalamario99]

She's exactly the same as in the recording. What an amazing person/artist/singer!!!!!!

[@NachoCTA]

This has been the only song I've ever cried to in my life

[@jkppranks9966]

[@Kira-mq5py]

Same... This makes me break down instantly

[@majordude3]

Same

[@TheAppelpaj]

She sings with so much emotion and some real high notes as well, yet she still makes it look so effortless. I admire her so much

[@tpfzm12]

What!!? it's a LIVE? It is completely the same as the MP3. I just... WOW....

[@Sannoz]

+박승현 Maybe the mp3 is a recording of this preformence ;)

[@SWARVANDANA]

well said

[@niastafford3699]

I don't think it's the same she's just very talented in my opinion

[@veeramettanen1685]

10203040-50

[@hannahkim6082]

박승현 ikr

[@autumndanielle3092]

Birdy is so talented. She doesn't need auto tune. She sounds even more amazing live. She has a way of making you feel things through the song.

[@anngepinselt]

Thanks Birdy! Because of you I still believe in REAL singing talents without any autotune (especially live)!👏🏼

[@ja9marije]

annalbk true true true

[@Andrew-un3sy]

She herself is an angel

[@itsjustnoa2241]

yeahhh!

[@SWARVANDANA]

she is an angel

[@niastafford3699]

Not many artist can sound that good with our auto tune , that's just beautiful ❤️

[@apriliafitrikuswandari]

Nia Stafford Right

[@TheDubyaB]

All I can say is it's a truly wonderful thing that Birdy was born.

[@peterglenn6133]

not about angels...but she is the Angel

[@itsjustnoa2241]

Yeah!!!

[@aishak.2998]

I literally get the chills everytime i hear her voice 😩 she's so good it drives me crazy. I love her voice x

[@Ryo0fWildfire]

Aisha K. Check out the movie the fault in our stars.

[@cren8428]

+Ryo0fWildfire found lots of great singers by watching the movie The Fault in Our in Stars... It has a good soundtrack...

[@rts4097]

It's not about angels, It is about .. Birdy.

[@zhyninig560]

Rt’s 😂😂

[@RobertGold]

Back in the 60's and 70's there were some incredible composers/songwriters/musicians and vocalists. There has been a drought until recently. This artist is the whole package. What a beautiful song/composition, pianist and vocalist! Over the last year, the gift that appeared a few years ago has matured into a phenomenon. What a wonderful time for music!

[@Maisa91]

This is absolutely beautiful! The talent she has at such a young age is mind blowing. Wow

[@musicsaves97]

+Maisa A. Her talent is both awe-inspiring and inspirational.

[@takingbackautumn7065]

Your age doesn’t determine how talented you are

[@tommathew7684]

Maisa A. Talent? You are listening to an angel sent as a messenger from God.

[@lek844]

When I heard this song in the movie, it made me cry even more than I was already crying. It was such a tear-jerker. Birdy is a wonderful, wonderful artist.

[@maiuruizabela7191]

lek844 which movie?

[@lek844]

Maiuru Izabela The Fault in Our Stars. It was a bitter-sweet love story where two adolescents fall in love, both of whom have terminal cancer.

[@maiuruizabela7191]

***** oh thanks..I'm gonna watch it :)

[@lek844]

Maiuru Izabela Make sure you've got a box of Kleenix handy.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

My interpretation of this song is the "angel" in this song is the person who comes into your life, and makes you feel happiness. But sometimes (often) it's not meant to be.

[@AmazingChinaToday]

We know full well there's just time So is it wrong to dance this line? If your heart was full of love Could you give it up? 'Cause what about, what about angels? They will come, they will go, make us special, oh Don't give me up Don't give me up How unfair, it's just our luck Found something real that's out of touch But if you'd searched the whole wide world Would you dare to let it go? 'Cause what about, what about angels? They will come, they will go, make us special, oh Don't give me up Don't give me up 'Cause what about, what about angels? They will come, they will go, make us special It's not about, not about angels, angels

[@awotte4032]

she's not like other singers.. She has a real Voice! ❤️ I love This Song & Skinny Love! 💘

[@sorrymom7167]

ed sheeren and birdy should do music togethar

[@hues848]

Lia Zali Yes yes yes this needs to happen!!!!

[@amanyellakany9172]

+Emernona axb it will be a river of tears😍😌

[@xoxoyouknowwho5633]

Yes

[@tommathew7684]

Sorry Mom ??? He is a singer. She is a waterfall.

[@aimeejane_writings]

Disagree, Birdy blows Ed Sheeran out of the water

[@katieb.8450]

love how she sounds the same live as she does on the recorded track. There is hardly any difference which I think is amazing because so many people out there auto tune their voices to sound great but hers is great with out tune

[@justdina5522]

literally perfection, her voice is stunning

[@BigfootExp]

Still coming back to listen to this 9 years later, EPIC performance. CHILLS.

[@caragianharris]

I could listen to her voice all day. She is honestly one of the best singers i have ever heard

[@victorstennis]

Birdy should get an Oscar for this song!

[@swanportermusic]

You can really tell she likes this song. She gets into it.

[@shandura]

To be honest, I believed that Birdy had put auto tune of when she was singing in the beginning of Skinny Love but when I saw the live version I was literally clapping like Yes!

[@phes.905]

FINALLY A SINGER THAT DOESNT USE AUTOTUNE!!! She sounds so perfect! Welcome back real music! It's been a while!!

[@LeaVionne]

Its 2018 and I still come back to this video. Stunning performance.

[@nicolaamore9415]

Delia same. She's literally my favorite singer ever.

[@LeaVionne]

Nicola Amoré same! She has the quality in her voice that I never found on anyone before. She deserves more appreciation than this

[@ninnakarla]

She has piano skills, a heavenly voice AND not to mention, she's gorgeous 😍

[@crystalkewe]

I cried when I heard the song play in the movie! She's just that good.

[@christianhaidacher8037]

Wow! One of the best songs that was ever written for a soundtrack. It's hard to believe that she was only 18 when she wrote it. Simply incredible! That song always brings me to tears when I hear it, just so beautiful. Birdy is simply phenomenal, her voice is tremendous, her writing skills are outstanding and she has that little something in her voice that really moves me. Hard to believe she is only in the beginning of her twenties, she will be capable to get on the top in a few years. The best songwriter of her generation. ❤

[@thelucabrazzi]

Wow I love you birdy. There is a maturity and intensity to your voice that just transcends everything. There's something about your eyes and when you look at the camera, it really moves me unlike most when they do this. It's crazy to when you're talking and then you go into song it's like the music possesses your soul and you become even more incredible.

[@newjonlleysiruno1498]

I'm inlove with Birdy okay?

[@kiona91]

Okay.

[@Andrew-un3sy]

+Kiona Paul-Dedam Okay.

[@TheWinningGorilla]

Me too

[@mickyk5807]

[@anngepinselt]

[@Deut420]

Everytime I hear birds singing my heart opens and i have to cry :( That doesn't happen in my life because I am a person who can't show its emotions and you are the only person that makes me show my emotions birdy, i love you

[@MegaYoyo911]

She's like, one of the most attractive girls to ever walk the face of music!!!!!

[@TheDubyaB]

I agree.

[@lillianareid5145]

I just heard this song for the first time yesterday and now I can't stop listening to it...it's so beautiful and I'm planning on singing it for my school talent show!! I can't wait to hopefully wow the crowd like she has wowed me!!!!

[@marianeto573]

She sounds the same OMFG!!!!!😱😱😱😱

[@mayagray6796]

[@yolomylife]

[@ddpatton7903]

[@yolomylife]

wow....that's even more incredible haha

[@ashleymeyer1366]

Erin Valve She was 14 when she covered skinny love. That's even more "incredibler"

[@TheSeiya33]

dd patton Nope, she's 18

[@GagaBoy1346]

Birdy is like Lorde, they were both shockingly 17! With great voices!

[@LaLaLaLaureen1]

Birdy has the voice of an angel

[@TheGreekPianist]

Wow, she has an amazing, authentic, angelic voice. I have a feeling she's going to just get even bigger and bigger in her career :-) not many artists sound good live, but she sounds just as great

[@midnightsdecision]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Well done.

[@charlymaskedqueen6980]

"but if your heart was full of love. Would you give it up?" my heart is shattered every time i hear that part

[@julieanalucio963]

SHES SO AMAZING SHE EVEN SOUNDS THE SAME ON THE SOUNDTRACK SO MUCH RESPECT FOR BIRDY❤️

[@ThatOneGuyDraws]

lyrics: We know full well there's just time So is it wrong to dance this line? If your heart was full of love Could you give it up? 'Cause what about, what about angels They will come, they will go make us special Don't give me up Don't give me up How unfair it's just our luck Found something real that's out of touch But if you'd searched the whole wide world Would you dare to let it go? 'Cause what about, what about angels They will come, they will go make us special Don't give me up Don't give me up 'Cause what about, what about angels They will come, they will go make us special It's not about, not about angels, angels

[@Slurped836]

Stunningly beautiful experience listening to this, thank you birdie.

[@tatumtyree879]

She most definitely would never lip sing. She has no reason. She writes her own music. Has a great voice and can actually play an instrument very well. Three out of three things many artists these days lack.

[@mycutepiechoiyoungjae2172]

That was perfect, I love Birdy.her voice sounds like angels.
