[@rachelkim5776]

i don't know how demi's voice can sound so strong and fragile at the same time. so good

[@teresamccabe209]

Yes I love her

[@wavvous]

@@teresamccabe209 This shows her raw talent of blending her head and chest voice like a freaking pro.

[@smritib22]

I get goosebumps every time I listen 😔

[@christinebrett4825]

I totally agree with you! Just made the same comment

[@Alyssa-cv1bd]

Yessss 😭😭❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼

[@kalliamelya6117]

she sounds so much better live/acoustic than in the studio

[@savannahvasquez600]

That's cause in the studio version she recorded it while she was still in rehab and during that time her voice was very injured by her purging and not taking care of herself

[@kalliamelya6117]

+Savannah Vasquez Ooh I didn't know that

[@Syllvok3]

Yes and it's incredible !!

[@anime2011ish]

+Savannah Vasquez: You could be a little more sensitive to that sort of subject, you know... The way you conveyed your words came off as being inconsiderate and insensitive towards mental illness that Demi deals with on a daily basis.

[@musicinspired4797]

kalli amelya I agree. That proves a great singer to me. They sound better live or acoustic performance. Prefer this to the video.

[@simonehesseldahl6404]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW LONG SHE HELD THE NOTE HOLY GRAMMY CALLING

[@kaczka337]

Simone Hesseldahl LOL XD

[@Neji513]

can we talk about that little vibrato she added at the end of that note though

[@ddyissuew5859]

It not even long for demi jdjdjdj

[@IschmarVI]

it's not actually that long if you know how you control your breath. Still impressive though.

[@YeeSoest]

Then Stas Shurins needs 2 for what he did with it on Voice of Germany. Look it up

[@Mar-ft1pl]

she should have won a grammy for this song! Who agrees ?

[@petrichor2986]

Me 😄

[@heyguysitsjahin5202]

me

[@craycrayricey951]

Me and hopefully everyone else

[@Slumpmuva]

The Grammys r rigged they don't look for real talent anymore they look for what got best sales and let other celebs vote

[@erudite5694]

Issa_ badi ikr.....

[@iiboyziiqtr3202]

no one can sing skyscraper like demi

[@ProVisionOman]

Sirens reminded me of Skyscraper. But I'll have to agree.

[@collincat]

when my mom first sirens she thought was skyscrapers

[@km-pu7sl]

miranda sings could

[@juliettejimenez5442]

Yea ikr not even can sing it like herself now😂

[@rockalinebellosa7907]

Sam Bailey can sing it better imo

[@looovatic]

nOBODY can sing skyscraper like this. this is perfect.. sweet, slow.. amazing demi

[@daisyssecretgarden5410]

Totally agree!!!

[@leahkinkade7542]

Totally right she is the best and have a wonderful christmas.

[@hopesullivan524]

couldn't have described it better

[@angelomateiu2942]

thatsester Did you saw Sam Bailey how is she singing this song ? :)

[@10293]

I admit Angelo, I saw both versions but I think Demi still wins.

[@nouveau8522]

It's crazy to think how many lives she has saved by recording this song.

[@MichaelaLily]

honestly think this is better than the studio version. This has so much more emotion, and her vocals are just as good, maybe even better

[@lotfic_6712]

Yeah she acquired better experiences now :)

[@DJ-lq6kt]

Actually I heard she was crying while recording the song so maybe that's why

[@sparrowdawn8628]

+Lps Fire yeah..i'd watched her reality show.. she said this song is about her dad..she thought about her dad when she recorded this

[@robinkoh397]

+Michaela Lily i agree with you to

[@DANGJOS]

+Michaela Lily Definitely! Honestly, I didn't think much of this song when I saw the music video, but hearing this I was moved

[@adl8978]

not to mention she's singing a hella high song while sitting! SLAY.

[@eugeniaw7910]

no one can sing like her

[@svachter]

I have

[@rhionaclaudine41]

yeah because she cant do the vibrato -_-

[@eugeniaw7910]

.

[@eugeniaw7910]

gunth tan nah shes really good

[@rhionaclaudine41]

ok

[@harleyvistan]

this is a better version of the song

[@shehrozblue1419]

ikr I was thinking the same thing

[@generalcaeser9176]

This video never gets old. Can watch it over and over. Anyone else? Thumbs up! =)

[@jacelamar1123]

General Caeser

[@ThoseNigerianTwins]

Demi's voice is unreal and her emotion in this video is omg😭❤️😍💖

[@VictoriaHowe103]

She is literally the only one from Disney who can actually sing, her voice is amazing omg

[@angelomateiu2942]

Victoria Howe Nick Jonas can , miley cyrus can , emily osement can , and a lot oof theem can shing =)

[@orlandosgn2]

Miley too

[@Poppy-yj4nk]

Lil' Lovatic Maybe but if you listen to miley, when she not sing her own music her voice is amazing.

[@selmachristiansen3176]

Miley is good at singing too, but Demi just have that thing, you get goosebumps when you hear her singing

[@daneswan14]

Angelo Mateiu nick, ok. miley, for sure. but emily osment? lmao. where is she then? no hate i love her. ur just ignorant :)

[@pebblemistofriverclan697]

I remember the day, years and years ago, 2008, I think, when Camp Rock played on Disney Channel at LEAST twice a week. I loved Demi then, when I was just a wide-eyed six-year-old little girl with no real knowledge of how harsh the world could be. I just remembered loving her voice, wanting to be like her. This Is Me was my favorite song. When Skyscraper came out in 2011, I was around nine years old, and had already been through a lot. But I still didn't quite understand the message behind this song, not fully anyways. I just knew it was an empowering song, and listening to it made me feel stronger. I was just too young to understand why Demi seemed to suddenly disappear. And when she 'came back' as I said then, I was just as strong of a fan as I was before. It's 2015 now, and a lot has happened since 2011. I've grown up, I've experienced more than most people my age would even understand. I understand the power and message behind the song. It's flawless, it really is. Skyscraper is part of the main reason I'm still alive and sane. I'm a Lovatic for life.

[@madeleinerox727]

3:13 I don't think I have heard something that beautiful.. Definitely one of the most amazingly vocally talented ladies in the world

[@moutnjudith7319]

The intimates perfomances are better, haters can see that she doesn't use autotune

[@rafalpotasz]

Lost the care for that autotunes-rage from some people. I smash LIKE if i LIKE what i hear lol. Autotune doesn't bother me :o it's like saying that using hand-written documents is better in business because it's doesn't involve using a computer which doesn't improve your hand writing xD who cares.

[@josephtucker8456]

Grizhlie It's actually more like a company putting out a much much cheaper made product and charging the same for it. Their singing is the product they're selling, if they auto-tune to any great degree I only think they can't actually sing very well and it's a cheap product for it. Demi Lovato does not need to auto-tune because she has an amazing voice and can use it well.

[@rafalpotasz]

Joseph Tucker Well.. I sort of pay for the finished product if I happen to like it. What they do, how they make it doesn't really matter to me if it doesn't hurt anyone or anything. So the product they are selling is entertainment to me. They just happen to use their voice. Some 50 or 70 or 100% all voice (rest being auto-tune). And if the product is bad... Well good luck getting my money! Anywho - my opinion. Take care :)

[@madisonthorne4181]

You tell on close up or someone is using autotune it’s a button on microphone labeled autotune generally red it’s obvious she doesn’t use it

[@EmmaRobertsStan]

@Terence Fairy thats because the whole performance is Autotune and second if all it is an F#5 , not a G5 , it was flat

[@BiGTeX8605]

Still years after first hearing this, it always makes my face contort because it’s just awe-inspiring what she can do with her voice. Just flat out incredible.

[@Jasminiumusic]

Her voice is so fragile like so amazingly beautiful

[@eladshadman5458]

OMG, The last chorus broke me to pieces

[@hatcherjordan1024]

Ugh I cry EVERYTIME. Notice how her eyes only open at the most vulnerable parts but they stay closed because of how emotional the whole thing is. Just so many tears.

[@leahmcardle7529]

how does she even do it

[@anjalidasilva7001]

Sorry teacher^^^

[@maqhawekhoza1060]

Leah McArdle talent

[@foolingisaround]

Talent is a bullshit answer. She's constantly practices and trains to achieve that.she is talented. not denied. But it's not the reason she sings Soo well

[@JoanaKathleen]

^ Very well said. Talent is never enough. It has to be matched with work ethic!

[@2kidsmom678]

Leah McArdle its easy

[@sophiecollie2321]

her voice at 2:45 and those couple of lines blow me away...putting it on replay. WOW

[@lilac_dream_team]

I really do hope demi doesnt lose her voice 😭😭. She sounds so different now. But she's such a high demanding performer that it's impossible to get a break

[@TheSaadeFan]

she is so unbelievably talented and the emotion she puts behind everything she does is just incredible

[@glitterbeauty7694]

She had her eyes closed the whole performance,that just shows how much the song means to her

[@harnoorkaurkhalsa4373]

so much pain in her voice Holy Jesus😢

[@kaczka337]

FLAWLESS PREFORMANCE

[@kerilynnevans2489]

Madhavi Maurya she's a Christian please don't curse

[@floif9942]

she's a Christian?

[@eliteg.2037]

Jessica Ding yes

[@burntnugget3108]

+kerilynn evans demi has cursed many times too?

[@wasirnachar1975]

Flawless performance. This sounds to me like she was then at the top of her singing skills.

[@ChrisFer]

3:12 Perfect!, the whole song was perfect, best performance of skyscraper.

[@ivoryventrice603]

2:16 gives me life. I'll always be a lovatic

[@leahanne5801]

Demi’s signature tho love it too

[@livpedersen2263]

Wow, time flies.. from where she was 16 till now.. 😭❤️

[@Luvforcurls]

She's amazing live!

[@andrijanataseva1234]

No one can deny that but look at the date this performance was given ... 2012 ... Demi is having serious problems giving live performances now .. i.e. 2014 ... but I agree she is amazing here :)

[@nikkimccoy3168]

This song has helped me alot along with Demi with my problems with the bullies and cutting. Thanks to Demi, Ive been clean for 5 months now

[@racheltompkins36]

stay strong xx

[@mileyalexcyrus]

that's Amazing xx

[@nikkimccoy3168]

Thanks so much! It's been a year now and I've been tempted before but now I just write them down into songs

[@lydiadenton5145]

Well done :-) I'm so glad your clean, stay strong! Xxx

[@Alyssa-cv1bd]

Nikki McCoy I’m so damn proud of you. She would be too. Keep on being a fighter and warrior ❤️

[@Dash120z]

Where the hell is the grammy award that this talented girl deserves??

[@damnitstayceex]

She gives me chills..so amazing.

[@itsSloMo]

Love the old Demi but i love the new one even more ;)

[@user-qx2pu5li4p]

I can't stop watching this video. Love you, Demi, you're the best❤ Somebody 2k19?

[@elvandrerandallcoakley8492]

Can we talk about how natural her vibrato sounded here. And how good her agility was? This was the best era for her to showcase her musicianship. Tell Me You Love Me Era is all about ease on the upper register.

[@paulinarojas6191]

FACTS

[@millflork3352]

I miss this Demi :(

[@neeleshjain9064]

I have no words to speak. She is the best

[@aidilfauzi4267]

My gosh.. i love her voice very much.. accoustics make me cry, i know what she felt

[@MrNR96]

omg that note at 3:00, someone please get me an breathing mask!!

[@bymichelle3777]

LOL

[@andreybathan3255]

A little flat note. But its good :D

[@hopesullivan524]

+Andrey Bathan I honestly like the way it sounded when it was flat it sounded very unique

[@toetail8665]

Man that hurt to hear that note. a whole note below it was f sharp and dang it sounded bad. She obviously didn't mean to sing that note

[@lordleo9047]

^Not sure if you're confusing the term "whole note" (referring to duration) with a "whole step" (two semitones below a given note), or if you just said "whole" for emphasis But in the studio recording she sings a root G, and here she sings an F# which is one semitone below the root and still on the key signature's scale. Perfectly acceptable and nothing about it sounded remotely bad. If anything it added some tastefulness and turned a boring triad into a nice eleventh

[@willowisp5594]

why is she so good. like, its insane

[@stutikulkarni9025]

this is so so beautiful and will forever be one of my favourite performances of hers 🌙

[@lolmonster1997]

It's amazing how brave she is. Even after everything she went through she still nails this song, no matter how much she's struggling with it.

[@marjoniwilliams3142]

The thing about Demi music that I love is that it’s emotional and most music has lost that. Her music is real. She can sound so sweet and fragile but at the same time strong and powerful. #rolemodel

[@Marruyt]

i love you demi ❤️

[@naiarasantos6094]

I think Demi is one of the current best voices, not just teen, but overall. She has a strong and powerful voice, and go away. Voice notes of it are wonderful, I love her voice, one of the best, it is better live than recorded in the studio

[@uubdclivkaat3182]

This is Demi her best performance, I can't stop listening... This is so beautiful

[@demetriavocals3300]

Demi Lovato, one of the biggest pop stars or her generation. But that's not why I love her. I love her because her music and choice of words can save lives. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. She doesn't worry about what people think of her, she is real and speaks what's on her mind. And saves lives while doing so.

[@Slashj8]

she almost made me cry I love here so much

[@gerardoperez9739]

THE QUEEN.

[@MichiTutorials]

Every time I watch this video, I literally cry. This live is amazing! Love her.

[@Dafrogie]

the end was amazing

[@unicornlove123baatar3]

I love it when she cracks her voice sometimes. It sounds awesome. ;)

[@insfrndo2425]

UnicornLove123 Baatar omg me too !!

[@hellisinoursouls]

Just perfect.

[@amborcutie]

Demi has matured so much and i love sure of herself she is. Like legit you can see more confidence in herself, through her performances. Like she literally tore this song up!!!! I am soo happy for her, and you can hear it in her voice that she is happy! and Proud confident and assure of who she is as an artist.

[@omg-cz9bm]

[@almamia07]

This will be forever be my favorite song from Demi. It is simply amazing!!!

[@1BubblesPPG]

honestly after watching recent videos form her concerts i started to think wow demi doesn't have the great voice i thought she had.... but after watching this..holy crap! when a singer is on tour their voice doesn't get to rest as much so obviously its not going to be at its best. this is talent tho. what she does with her voice is amazing. and the emotion behind it is even more amazing!

[@leighburrell8921]

You can take everything but Demi's amazing talent.

[@vJuliebieber]

Demi is so beautiful. Inside, outside. I can't believe she has been bullied, she's amazing.

[@nesreena4956]

I always come back and watch this video, because honestly this is one of the best performances ever!!! Amazing! This song isn't really easy to sing, and the way Demi is singing it is perfect.

[@shannondoody5225]

The emotion she puts in is unreal- you feel every lyric. What amazes me is she can see like that sitting down-it's amazing!!

[@jackiebonnell637]

Her voice in this performance is astonishing. It’s absolutely flawless and it has so much emotion

[@h3arty]

One of the most incredible live performances I have EVER seen. Those lucky people who got to hear it live!!!

[@katiegriffiths4878]

[@thatgirl8253]

Omg! Her hair! Girl, ON FLEEK!

[@mohannedalghazo7375]

why did I discover this performance 8 years after!! now I am catching tear drops in my hands.

[@jefrilaksanaputra574]

Beautiful voice from stunning angel. She's so naturally gorgeous.

[@percuss3757]

the tiny imperfections and breaks in her otherwise flawless performance are what makes the performance so vulnerable and beautiful

[@oneday434]

Skies are crying, I am watching Catching teardrops in my hands Only silence, as it's ending Like we never had a chance Do you have to make me feel like There's nothing left of me? You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper As the smoke clears, I awaken And untangle you from me Would it make you, feel better To watch me while I bleed? All my windows still are broken But I'm standing on my feet You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper Go run, run, run I'm gonna stay right here, Watch you disappear Yeah-oh, go run, run, run Yeah, it's a long way down But I am closer to the clouds up here You can take everything I have You can break everything I am Like I'm made of glass Like I'm made of paper, oh-oh Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper (Like a skyscraper) Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

[@pattigribble]

I love this version of her song! Demi is so very amazingly talented! I could listen to her 24/7/52 and never get tired of hearing her!
