[@katlangdon8875]

There are no two exact same performances of this song on the internet. She's a gem.

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

Kat Langdon Is this really live though? From 1:40 to 1:53 it keeps switching between her holding the mic, then it's in the stand, and holding it again? Sounds live but probably a few takes and the video are stitched together?

[@luxmedia6097]

genius, how do you think they could take so many different shots ..

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

LuxMedia yeah sorry. I'm just saying that because people are saying this is completely unadulterated live which it isn't.

[@AMIGA2351]

@@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea i mean, does it matter? kat langdon's point was; literally everywhere you look, she records this song differently. the start is always different

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

@@AMIGA2351 it doesn't. I'm just saying it isn't pure live.

kimbra: boop bop badee boop bop me: *wiping tears away* she's amazing

[@willows5395]

this is still so funny to me

[@AeroAndy11]

I'd like to know how many Kimbra fans like the "sing sing studio" tracks better than the album versions?

[@durumclapclap]

me :D

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

I would guess all of them ;) Might be the first artist ever that I prefer live over album. Personally I thought the album was way over-produced. That may be why she just didn't really catch on in the US. Most ppl go to the 'official videos' when they check someone out. And if you watch the 'official' cameo lover vid, it's like a completely different artist than the singsing video of the same song. I think if more ppl knew how good she really is, she would be a household name.

[@AeroAndy11]

Rusty Shackleford I agree Rusty, if you heard some of the official videos it sounds like a different song completely. The exception to this is probably "Come into my head", that track sounds great live and on the official release. I hope she releases a live album, or even the "Sing Sing Studio" sessions.

[@chagrinnaturalhealthclinic]

Hell yeah! That studio session is off the hook and blows away any of her other later work. I wish she go back to some of this jazz vibe.

My God she knows how to control her voice , her music.. amazing!!

[@StephanieonYT]

And her voice range is incredible!

This. I just discovered this angel (my first exposure was thru that amazing Gotye song). I think Kimbra just gained another worshipper. ;)

Pum-pum-pumba I love the lion king too.

omg... I can't believe she was 20 here!!!!!!!

[@bribrilolzOG]

She looks like she's having fun...

[@carmelgurl248]

I was 12 listening to this every day. This and all her Music I was OBSESSED. 13 years later this is still a bop. KIMBRA you will always be THAT GIRL ❤️

[@Drogdar]

should release a "Live at Sing Sing Studios" album...

[@venombite12]

Omg that little smile at 2:55 is perfect :')

[@LTown8365]

How could anyone dislike this?? This woman is fucking amazing. Her voice is so gritty, jazzy, and soulful. It's circa 1920's yet also 2014. I heard her for the first time tonight and I am in love.

[@gabby7313]

Best instrument, her voice, plus I love her quirky little dances ;)

[@breezyzander3914]

i love how each live performance is always a little different

[@CMDR_Roget]

That comment is accurate and hilarious...

[@loeksnokes]

Joplin was famous for pretty much being able to do the same song the same way (but sometimes she varied it). It is great to me, that Kimbra has so many DIFFERENT versions of each song. Two greats, emotive, brilliant, but very different in this way.

[@hamfluff13]

For real! This was almost 10 years ago and I’ve seen Kimbra multiple times, but I’ve never heard her do any song the same way twice. She’s incredible.

[@mthoma922]

I've come back to these performances consistently for the past 3 years. I'll probably catch a lot of flack for this, but I found listening to her album after these performances to be a bit disappointing. The production value on the album is slightly over the top for my liking. The passion in these performances is unparalleled to most artists nowadays. I'd love for an entire Kimbra album in the more minimalist and stripped down style presented in these videos. Either way, glad to see a truly talented young artist in the music industry. She's truly a diamond in the rough.

[@bilguunchinzorig9282]

Her craziness infects me Damn she is good singer

[@FloretPuss]

It's almost unbelievable how much energy she puts into her music... everytime...! Such great.

[@meshachngailut5449]

really happy that female musicians like her exists.

[@connorblake7487]

She's fucking mesmerizing to watch preform.

[@kxmode]

This is jazz music! She's scatting! So cool. :)

[@sadmanalam2063]

So sad that talents like her who truly enjoy singing and making music get buried by crappy musicians that we hear today.

[@scottmacleod8790]

She rocks so hard I love it

[@elii_arrt]

Yes..

[@CoveMacDonald]

She has SO much emotion and soul when she sings, so refreshing to see this in the music industry

[@tashagray435]

I never get tired of watching her. Her passion and talent just mesmerizes me. She is perfect! ❤️

[@maryhernandez8249]

I wonder how many of these views are from the SAME people who jump from Kimbra to Kimbra video just to see her sing more cause you just can't seem to get enough of her zesty personality and perfect voice

[@_cattt]

Her music videos are awesome. Her studio versions are even more amazing. If I were to watch her live, you would probably find me on the floor convulsing with sheer ecstacy.

[@chadmichael15]

I love how she loops her own voice, it's an instrument itself, so awesome.

[@BrHck]

one of my favourite singers on YT and highly under rated. people are users, they just listen, just watch and eat products, but they never ask themselves where all this coming from, who create it, who build it.... who cook it. shame! you are one of the best, dear! very long time ago I heard SIA and Academia, and I thought some day she will be huge star and.... I believe in you my dear Kimbra, soon you will be on top!

[@teemondy]

Seriously... I listen to this live series weekly.

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

In a word: amazing! Kimbra is, and continues to be: amazing!❤

[@Mr5169]

she have a spirit, a presence rarely found these days... she's fantastic, I would love to see her live! =D

[@shamara3771]

I am so completely obsessed with Kimbra! She has, hands down, the best voice I have ever heard. Totally love 1:13 - 1:20! It's just an explosion of vocals!

[@angelanatale7826]

kimbra is amazing. she should be the face of pop music!

[@dieselrotor4984]

I found Kimbra on a late night talk show. I am only sorry I did not find Her sooner. Very few artist's can draw You in and capture You for a lifetime instantly. Her talent is only surpassed by Her beauty. I am Rock and Roll Led Zep from square one but I am taken with Kimbra and Her sound. Simply amazing.

[@daverayshow]

She is so talented. Crazy.

[@DarkAngelEU]

great albums always sound better live than their studio recordings

[@loulou93311]

Who are you to judge her what she's wearing!? This isn't a music video it's a live video. I don't care about what she looks like, her voice is amazing and she looks beautiful in anything she wears because her real beauty is inside.

[@hustler539]

This is pure magic

[@LadyRiffic]

This beyond raw talent, its other worldly

[@syahinazreka]

i love her very much since i was in the middle school 😍

[@starrkidd8]

The way she moves! She's so into it, and honestly its contagious. Which is hard to pull off through a screen, yet somehow its accomplished, quite thoroughly at that!

[@SGWV]

her talent is ridiculous

[@Musicplr]

I never caught the lyrics or knew what the song was about at first listen, I was taken by her unique vocal arrangement with lively presentation and great voice. I can now enjoy and appreciate Kimbra completely, so pretty and so talented!

[@MaggieMustaine]

I just love the lipstick on that tooth at 2:55. So cute. I love her so much.

[@monkeyman123321]

+Maggie Mustaine Never noticed it thx

[@rodrigobelmont7855]

She is beautiful, I'm in love😍

[@InuYasha6651]

Me too! I've never seen anybody sing so hard they get lipstick on their teeth. That's almost a music trophy right there.

[@cbomb002]

It was there the whole time, just need to look closer.

[@jovanakrivokapic2930]

oh god, that smile at 2:56.. That one second made me realize how much i am in love with this woman

[@grahamclark5744]

Agreed - she also doesn't deserve comparison to any another artist she and her style is unique, I hope she never loses her creative self to a record company for an album-a-year deal!

[@cajuncrawfish1]

Being from New Orleans I can appreciate and highly enjoy the funky jazzy swagger she shows here and there in her dance moves and always in her singing. That little shoulder shimmy when the beat first breaks down and when she grabs her dress and sways it side to side like a showgirl back in the day. Beautiful performance

[@SunflowerGirl__]

I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Won't you settle down with me? Settle down We can settle at a table A table for two Won't you wine and dine with me? Settle down I wanna raise a child I wanna raise a child Won't you raise a child with me Raise a child We'll call her Nebraska Nebraska Jones She'll have your nose Just so you know I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Won't you settle down with me? Settle down Run from Angela Vickers I saw her with you Monday morning small talking on the avenue She's got a fancy car She wants to take you far From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark Star so light and star so bright First star i see tonight! Star so light and star so bright Keep him by side! I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Baby there's no need to run I'll love you well I wanna settle down It's time to bring you down On just one knee for now Lets make our vows

[@mariacarmen3667]

Gracias

[@datathug]

I love how she throws herself into ALL of her live performances. Gotta love an artist who is into their own music as music as much as Kimbra...

[@Themostamazinguy]

The three unconnected genras of music I listen to: Classical: Rachmaninov mostly Dubstep: Most all of it Kimbra: Kimbra She has her own Genra!

[@Triplerhythm]

She's been my favorite since I first heard her two years ago. Bar none!

[@arturomarion9543]

She is just perfect!

[@JOEYJ222]

I LOVE how at 2:54 you can see the lipstick got on her teeth. Maybe I'm the only one, but I feel like it makes her seem so much more relatable and adorable, especially when she smiles right after. The fact that a human being can emit such sounds and look so happy doing it is a fact that drew me to her like a magnet, and the lipstick on her teeth serves to remind me that she is not, in fact, an angel.

[@LawfulNutral]

kimbra always looks like she is perfectly in tune with the weave while she performs. mastery of magic.

[@hyeonjinpark3800]

....... red socks! amazing peculiar, Kimbra! love her weird, emotional, those powerful, controlled gestures, hand and body movements!

[@aviraren]

dont know why but whenever i hear her i feel like i'm in some james bond movie , she gives that kind of mood , love her she's beautiful in every way

[@davidtromsness6494]

She is an original. Amazing.

[@wolfdog410]

in this video she does sing it all in one take. the mic to her right is hooked up to a loop pedal, so all of the sampling you hear is done by her on the go in real time. i think there was one part during a bridge that had some pre-recorded vocal parts, but everything else she lays down and loops herself during this one take

[@resumacast]

wow! the best find this year... so far.

[@KrishanDhanda]

Hey!! O Ooo...............Hey!! O Ooo .. best vocalist as of now

[@blahxxxx3]

My fav version of all time memorized the whole thing for years now love Kimbra ❤️

[@dessieangel1021]

I'd be jumping all over the place when mainstream radio actually pay attention to her...why does America have to be late with everything?

[@azalea1352]

I want her dress!

[@CozyBear01]

Her voice is so unique and perfect! And her high notes are just so angelic! She is way better than all those poppy people you hear on the radio

[@avaughnimous]

This is sick. I've just discovered this woman recently and I am completely blown away. Absolutely terrifying how amazing this song is.

i've watched this at least 30 times in 2 days... get chills every time. best new solo musician to come out in decades

yea. agreed and i love how she add extra notes and dances around no matter what anyone says!

[@anhnguyenquyettien7902]

2024 anyone?

[@fingersandjeans]

How can people come on this and "dislike" just to be contrary? Kimbra is amazing. Duh!

[@jlee2025]

You can tell that they filmed this a couple times because there are times when she has the mic in her hand and sometimes when it's on the stand. She's still freaking good. I'd rather here something refined like this rather than somethign that's completely raw.

[@iAmYourAphrodisiac]

Imagine Kimbra and Lorde both singing on a single stage xD

[@eggaweb]

And featuring Kate Bush...

[@betulceyhan8519]

Lorde wouldn’t be able to catch up with Kimbra’s singing

[@poohbear539100]

Reminds me of Amy winehouse in some ways

[@poohbear539100]

A suuuper energetic Amy

[@SlyctonOfficial]

Tori Cherry I agree with you =)

[@YunaFujiwaraTheFour]

+Tori Cherry and not in drunk condition

[@PeacockAffect]

+Tori Cherry I really like Winehouse but this doesn't sound anytihng like her to me.

[@_cattt]

+Peacock Affect I don't think it has anything to do with "sounding the same". Winehouse had this certain "presence" that you could feel whenever she performed. It's the same with Kimbra.

[@irizzlestillwizzle]

i'm absolutely obsessed with this chick. shes so talented. i'd have her child.

[@melindajade121]

my favorate thing about the song here and on the music video is when she says "Star so light and star so bright and star i see tonight, star so light and star so bright keeping by my side"

[@Swanfeatha]

I feel like I personally make up a good 250+ of these views at this point. Seriously, this recording is SO incredibly killin', everyone on this track is completely nailing it. I don't see how I could ever stop being obsessed with this.
