Celeste - Strange (Live from The BRIT Awards 2020)

[@haiybo]

I’m envious of everyone who gets to listen to this song for the first time. The 10th time, still chills, but not like the first.

[@NamFlow]

And especially envious of people who were there to enjoy the performance.

[@ssk7251]

Oh i heard it the first time an i was lost

[@tiffeyks1580]

i was in the pit this year and it was my first time hearing it. it moved me to tears.

[@mexicanjerry]

I read your comment like really? Then two minutes into the song I was crying a bit like 🤯

[@haiybo]

Jerry Duplo quite something huh

[@signalmetwice]

this was the first i had ever heard her music, and i was blown away. it captured me instantly. her voice is so beautiful and unique. i instantly found this song on spotify and listened to it afterward. it’s so beautiful. gives me goosebumps every time.

[@lana7493]

same🥺🥺🥺

[@Michael-xi9nb]

It came up on one of my Spotify playlists today after last night's performance. I guess my phone sensed that I really wanted to listen to it again.

[@alexrightnow2531]

I feel the exact same in fact I couldn't have put it better myself!

[@raf9318]

The first time I heard her singing is that Spotify ad

[@kiri7678]

Shawn Cee told me about it and I’ve been loving her ever since

[@snuggs0117]

She has such control, perfect enunciation and her tone is so unique.

[@paulmdt1]

enunciation 😉

[@skate7496]

bro what?

[@paulmdt1]

OP had written annunciation - which is (Wikipedia) the Christian celebration of the announcement by the Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin Mary that she would conceive and bear a son through a virgin birth.

[@Looey]

Yessss ! What control - amazing....love this song....i could loop it over and over and over...

[@MrJohnnyhercules]

Slower than the official audio, her voice sounds even better here, more control, people will listen to this in 50 years and wish they were there.

[@michaelthomas8592]

You don't use this you said - JUST LIESTEN!

[@theminimalist2063]

Yeah I thought the same!

[@CheeksOfButt]

I’m listening a rn wishing I was there lol

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

A modern day Billie Holliday crossed with Etta James but still with her own distinctive sound. Beautiful, haunting, hypnotising voice. She's a great talent.

[@michaelthomas8592]

She is 25 - she don't knwe nothing about anything - she only does!

[@evimbourger]

I hear Sarah Vaughan

[@sp3c1alsteph3n8]

I hear a HINT of Rebecca Ferguson aswell

[@stevekallaugher2325]

@@evimbourger You should visit an ENT if that's what you hear. Sarah had three octaves, perfectly controlled. Celeste has little more than one before she has to go to her head voice. And, unlike Sarah, that roughness isn't a choice, it's a lack of breath control.

[@stevekallaugher2325]

This is joke, right? Are you suggesting she's a junkie, too? You can't possibly be comparing her singing to theirs.

[@Tal_Zilberman17]

Isn’t it strange How people can change From strangers to friends Friends into lovers And strangers again wowww

She sings so effortlessly just like Amy ... pure art

[@michaelthomas8592]

@Maja Maja Well!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

First time I heard it I didn't know the artist so guessed it was a lesser known song that Amy Winehouse did. Boy was I wrong

[@buddhawisdom4035]

They both have a vintage vibe but they are very different in their sound. Amy was more nasal, sadness drawn out and at times sounding rebellious like she didn’t care if you liked her or her singing. Celeste is more bluesy with darker tone, more guttural and unlike Amy, Celeste is present with you aware of what she is creating moment to moment. Every part of the song matters how it is sung and heard.

[@Jack-zx1vq]

I'm so jealous of people who get to listen to this for the first time. I was totally mind blown.

[@mexicanjerry]

Dafuck you were right, I just cried a bit...🤯 #awesome

[@edgyweeeb5334]

I just heard it now while ted was having a breakdown and holy this song slaps!

it’s insane how a lot of ppl are barely just getting on Celeste :(( she’s so talented & she was so SLEPT ON i’m glad she’s finally getting recognition talent at its finest 🥺

[@RosaliaFacts]

And time stopped. This song is so special and her performance was stunning

[@shankapa3182]

What I love about this is that her voice, which is evidently haunting in and of itself .. but that it captures the very essence behind the lyrics .. she takes you somewhere. Its transportive and transformative all at once. Many voices are considered technically flawless and there are so many facets in singing that make a song sound good but not every voice can communicate the message in this way. Spellbinding.

[@_sunchildd]

She takes my breath away, truly. This song is a masterpiece

[@tach2539]

Once in a life time, if we are lucky, we get to hear a voice that reaches the our very soul. This lady is that voice, stretching every emotion within s with her delicate yet powerful chords. She touched my heart, and my soul. Celeste is that one voice of our life time

[@meredith218461]

Intensely moving. This live version is even better than the recording. Celeste is one to watch.

[@kdotprem6029]

I tried for you Tried to see through all the smoke and It wouldn't move What could I do? I touch your hand To pull your thoughts Into my hand But now I can't Say Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? I am still me You are still you In the same place Isn't it strange? How people can change From strangers to friends Friends into lovers And strangers again Back to this room Back to our roots What did we lose? What did we lose? If I could I'd pull your strings For one more dance But I can't Say Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange? You look at me I look at you With nothing to say Isn't it strange? How people can change From strangers to friends Friends into lovers And strangers again

[@KellyMcLaughlinThePoleographer]

Just heard this song for the first time and it made me cry. Hitting me at an exact moment in life where it’s speaking what I haven’t been able to verbalize. Had to look up a live performance and she’s even more powerful and haunting. This song is ❤️

[@tiaausten_]

This exact performance came on the TV 10 days after my first break up and when I tell you, despite how long it’s been, this song can instantly bring up those emotions I felt when I first heard it

[@KellyMcLaughlinThePoleographer]

@@tiaausten_ It's amazing when music can tap into universal experiences. She has that power of authenticity and honesty with her voice that just slices through.

It is the flaws in her voice gives it a fragility and vulnerability which makes it so hypnotic.

Celeste has one of the most powerful and captivating voices I've ever heard! What a stellar performance! (-:

[@zephtahir506]

Absolutely hauntingly beautiful

[@dr.lashondareid7847]

She’s fabulous! Heard it on Ted Lasso and was mesmerized! Song simply draws anyone who’s ever experienced breakups in. Stunning.

[@przemekuk13]

I was in the audience thinking how her voice is a perfect blend of Paloma Faith s and Adele s. She has very unique tone. Loving it

[@SereneColeman]

She reminds me of Billie Holiday. Just sublime♥️

"if i could, ill pull your strings for one more dance" to want someone this bad knowing theyve already left is just heartbreaking to me

[@PaolaEnergya]

She is so talented, a remarkable and timeless piece of music. I also loved the paired down staging that made us focus on her voice

[@boogs939]

Abject Abandonment, Loss & Grief all in a haunting Jazz ballad. The musical definition of the feelings, Pain & bitter experience. A new Jazz standard right here💙

[@markop6446]

Hands down the greatest example of an artist performing better live then recorded , in all of music history

[@co6262]

I feel like this song can work for so many things like cheating, falling out of love, death, growing apart, etc

[@DarkMagiciaGirl]

This song always makes me cry.

[@117MCT]

Her voice and music is old school beautiful... comes straight from the soul. People don't make music like this anymore. Pure talent!!!

[@northwestmusiccollective1169]

For me, one of the very few highlights of the evening. From the depths of subdued lighting, piano chords emerged and simple melancholic words with such meaningfulness were artistically performed with great emotion and gracefulness. Celeste, thank you for those precious minutes and for bringing a sparkle of brightness into a relatively dull show.

[@zainab4631]

I can't get over her

[@robynhenderson9353]

Saw her perform this song on Colors and LOVED it, and really really love this too. I fee like the spirit of the two performances is different. On Colors, she was a lot quieter, like she was near tears and was still heartbroken. Here, she sounds very confident, like she’s facing her past self and choosing to change. I’m going to go see if she has any new music because...she gives me the feels that Adele never gave me.
