Jimmy Barnes - Chandelier (Sia) live at APRA Music Awards 2015

[@timothywastell4017]

To anyone that doesn't get it. It's not perfect sonically. Granted. Jimmy stood in at the last minute to sing this (in it's original key) as Sia became unavailable last minute. This is a song about alcoholism and shame. As a recovering alcoholic himself, Jimmy puts more fucking soul into this than any pitch perfect version. When he sings about tears, and is wiping away his own, you know he is personally connected to this very fucking dark song. Yes it's a pretty sounding song. But fuck it's dark. Ever listened to the lyrics in Outcast's "Hey Y'all"? Same thing. Fucking brilliant.

[@mindfulness1118]

Absolutely. Jimmy bares his soul openly and honestly. It’s real, it’s raw, it’s painful ……..it’s brilliant. Gets me every time I hear it.

[@dustinxrx]

I don't understand how this only has nearly 40k views, this is magical.

[@cpkarkow663]

I don't understand how I never had heard of this guy until seeing this on ThatSingerReactions channel!

[@drjay0744]

Everytime I come back my like is gone, Jimmy must not of signed THE contract. It would explain alot.

[@adrianfrost-qv3su]

Best ive heard 5 times a week i listen this still

[@valcooke3024]

Jimmy and Jonny Diesel Fantastic singers and performers.. Watching this performance makes me so proud of Aussie talent and legends

[@FinchTouring]

The emotion about drinking and suicide is unreal in this, forget the rest, the emotion is everything.

[@simoncalabrese8712]

I was there that night and the hairs on the back of my neck also gave a standing ovation!

[@valcooke3024]

I am so envious . These performers gave so much of themselves

[@stevemeredith9022]

The man is a living legend and we are privileged to have amongst us in Australia !🇦🇺

[@colinkavanagh3253]

Jimmy puts his heart into what is a great heart felt song & kills it

[@warrenturnbull5125]

More like murdered it

[@xghoulishgalx]

Chandelier is one of my all-time favourite songs. Jimmy's rendition is wonderful.

[@markstoneman4782]

He is the best at anything he puts his mind to fucking legend

[@brianmcguire5175]

Damn his soul is in his music. Also the band and backing singers are all superb too!

[@PatriotGuitarSlinger]

[@ingridmartinsen7293]

I love this version..❤

[@MrNellees]

How the hell can this get 26 unlikes !!!!! really people !!!!!!!!!! amazing emotive version

[@jjdees]

Young girls who have no taste in music and think anything but the original is crap. They will grow up someday and appreciate this.

[@pamelapascual8970]

Being a singer myself I deeply appreciate this performance why? Everything will decline one day including our voice and for him to manage singing this way at his age is truly amasing

[@ldhare1974]

Jimmy is a legend🔥

[@olivierbourdin5160]

Surprising me, great. Tout ce que touche Jimmy, c'est de l'or !

[@mindfulness1118]

Absolutely incredible ❤️❤️❤️

[@lisafarrell5996]

Wow Jimmy killed one of the hardest songs to sing.❤❤❤❤

[@billymclaughlinbooks]

Not a great fan of shouty singing but his is such a voice that I just adored this performance. Not even a fan of this song originally.

[@stevemeredith9022]

He does have several albums that are more vocal in style than this performance.

[@adamking5096]

[@kingcuda3037]

I hate the original but I don't mind this version

[@SparksDrinker]

+J & M guitars what do you think about the music video for the original Sia version?

[@aussiesteve05]

+J & M guitars Lay off the crack. It is making u type crazy shit

[@afrocraft1]

_Chandelier_ goes to church. Wow!

[@darrylkelly7958]

Loving Diesels White Falcon...

[@nzrockboi]

Old Superstar sings song of new Megastar.

[@MsAnorma]

You can hear the raw emotion. Not technically perfect, but that's a moot point

[@Lee-kl4lk]

Jimmy Barnes goes had in this song with diesel on guitar

[@단주-y1w]

[@ThePhantomZonePodcast]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@bluespig1]

Very few people can play the Gretsch Falcon and Diesel is not one of them. He is like a kid wrestling with an adults guitar and it affects his playing.I think his having an image problem especially with his song choices on his latest tour.

[@michaellivesey4354]

Wtf you saying Sultana...keep tapping on your keyboard...,softly because you sleeping inbetween mum and dad

[@SnowBall323]

He doesn't know the words....

[@IH8COMERCIALRNB]

SnowBall323 he doesn't need to, he's Jimmy Barnes.

[@imlay1992]

SnowBall323 you do realise this isnt a song hes recorded, nor performed live (if at all) on any other occasion other than this? Unless youre reading the official lyric sheet word for word, nobody ever would pick up on such a small detail, and rather any normal person would watch + enjoy the actual performance itself...

[@rocnoir4233]

+SnowBall323 He never knew any words. He's a vocal runt compared to Ian Moss and always will be.

[@PatriotGuitarSlinger]

that's right!

[@JoelWende]

He learnt the song literally that day because Sia couldn’t make the performance and she asked him to do it.

[@86adoboy]

It's a cover, get over it.

[@jamesw133]

Gonna* not wanna Leave it to Sia bro. Leave it to Sia.

[@callanyvegetable]

This is the longest car crash I have ever seen

[@blzeebub5546]

callanyvegetable Please don't breed, your gene pool is sufficiently poluted.

[@trumpet90909]

Bl Zeebub But he's right. This cover is the biggest dogs breakfast I've ever heard.

[@aussiesteve05]

+callanyvegetable Damm fucken right

[@markstoneman4782]

He is the fucking best

[@JoelWende]

7 years later you’re still an idiot!

[@aussiesteve05]

Must need to pay his power bill

[@tashmadden]

this is the worst thing I've ever experienced

[@tamsyn884]

Leave

[@AussieGirl235]

tash madden - You must be deaf and have no soul. Bless your heart.

[@mattyoz0]

Well, mate, you've had a great life!

[@darrendelacy8162]

What a sad, limp thing to say

[@eranzzlambert5243]

Agreed with u

[@Ex-it]

Sorry Jimmy, didn't like it. When farnsey did the Beatles help song, he made it his own. What barnsey tried here just didn't flow comfortably. He didn't crush his own version, he just killed the song.

[@eranzzlambert5243]

Disaster!!!
