The story of Lorde | Newshub

[@spaceman9e]

She is gonna be one of the greatest of all time, for real

[@frederickfranchi6408]

David Alejandro senas let's hope so her upcoming new record is out this week hope it's as good as Pure Heroine!!! she seems like a beautiful soul😎

[@bsmith363]

Sure, ok......

[@analuizaalmeida3726]

You got it right mate

[@jetsofaqua2206]

David Alejandro senas when exactly is that gonna happen!?

[@frankiepoprocks]

David Alejandro senas lol

[@horsepheus]

Why does everyone on all her videos seem to comment on that she's ugly etc. I think she's stunning!

[@laurenstaab5679]

i know right!

[@vniesky]

Yup. She's a head turner!

[@Eighty5iveProd]

Shes very pretty. Maybe becuz I love white girls

[@roentgen8804]

she really is the most beautiful

[@hanfitrivia]

She's totally beautiful.

[@samsk99]

When they were talking about Ribs and Ella says there's no chorus and the guy says there's no resolution it just fades and she says that's what she likes about it because it's not what people expect. That's exactly why her music transcends everyone else's. She does what she wants.

[@feedhyungwonplease6087]

i'm like.. Ella knows what she's doing

[@helloitsme8575]

That song is truly incredible I can’t believe it exists

[@hushhushjmae]

Lorde looks like the most beautiful gorgeous witch in her hair. She's unique Thats why I like her.

[@alannovianto]

Me to

[@roentgen8804]

miss that hair

[@karunahembrom4799]

Me too

[@Sugarsail1]

7:20 "get to the chorus and don't bore us"........and that's what's wrong with the music industry today in one sentence.

[@thewordsmith1763]

can we just take a moment to realize that that executive guy was about to ruin the masterpiece that is Ribs

[@burhansami]

Yeah that's was I was thinking

[@TabletTriple9]

I'm more of a rock and metal kind of guy, but damn I love Lorde. Her songs are just so well done, and considered. I have massive respect for this girl. I love any music that respects the artform, it's about the passion, not performance, and though she nails both, it's clear that the passion comes first. Great stuff.

[@thewatchmaker9774]

Yeah I can jump from Gojira to this and back easily it's just that good

[@riyazuo]

+TabletTriple9 same

[@MikTheAsianMan]

Me too, not many, Xtina was the pioneer.

[@malikad41]

Exactly me. Lol..... cussing Linkin Park for one more light but getting every single from Lorde.😂

[@Hordes_Of_Nebulah]

I feel you, I listen to mostly black metal and I can easily transition from something like Satanic Warmaster or Peste Noire to Lorde haha.

[@ngtflyer]

A true artist. Not a cookie-cutter pop star.

[@tornelysian]

She is what the music industry should have always been: About the music.

[@tk-5268]

And cold hard cash

[@Sugarsail1]

god I hope not...one hit wonder.

[@edensylvester13]

Exactly.

[@bsmith363]

That depends on what your definition of music is.

[@lonniegabbie]

Sugarsail1 hilarious, anyway buy Melodrama on itunes

[@rosexoxo8114]

One of the most modest, intelligent and high classes singers of all time

[@Dynamic1312]

Lorde's music is just so different than anything that's ever been done well. She's just different, mysterious. And most importantly, passionate. I'm so glad that she's mainstream, because it shows that people will still love great music.

[@Heck0642]

I couldn't agree more! 🙌🏼

[@Dynamic1312]

Thanks for agreeing, bro.

[@Heck0642]

No problem! 😄

[@org6760]

Erick Sanchez *She's not that different lol. You can hear Lana Del Rey inspiration in her music and a lot of the track sound like other alternative pop singers. I love Lorde though. But she's not that unique*

[@Aivy2]

she looks naturally beautiful even without make up

[@mamadleau]

my favorite song is buzzcut season

[@backfromvenus]

Pastel_ Skyy I personally love tennis court

[@christophersantander2767]

Pastel_ Skyy or ribs

[@jacksonhabig607]

One of mine is Team

[@steezyyeezy6936]

Ribs, A World Alone, and Tennis Court are my favorite 3.

[@lordmyrann]

15:08 Wish I could hear more of this "Hospital" song

[@fartpotatoes]

I KNOW IT SOUNDS SO GOOD.

[@bruja2591]

I fucking love Lorde to death. And, honestly, I know she's not the best live singer in the world but I am 100% okay with that. I am more attracted to her overall energy, vibe, and song lyrics. Her lyrics are honestly what makes her so great in my opinion.

[@jirvingnc]

Agreed

[@ryanvaughn5095]

Just look at bob dylan. If your words are good people will listen, wvwn if it isn't the most attractive voice.

[@ladyerynicorn3863]

Archer King ok so I was totally onboard with you until you said she isn't the best singer live. she's the best singer live! have you seen how free spirited and the energy she gives out and not to mention she's a beautiful soul and you can hear that when she sings, she sounds amazing all the time in my opinion.

[@ladyerynicorn3863]

ryan vaughn Bob Dylan always has a good voice live.

[@iw9633]

Archer King I know that your comment is already pretty old now but I just want to say that I think she is now one of the Best live singer I know☺☺☺(Sorry for my bad english😳)

[@frenchskuxx]

I am so proud of her for how far shes come, from both a fan and fellow kiwi, shes easily one of the best things to come out of our country

[@creeperstkoed6282]

She seems so mature and down to earth.

[@roguex9469]

If Lorde's hair were red she's be a perfect replica of Merida from the movie Brave 😏

[@daisysparkles5111]

TRUE xD

[@jamesgabronino]

omg so true

[@marvinho1010]

+Ruth Ortega Watch Once upon a time season 5, thats the real merida.

[@davidgarcia5556]

+Joe Taylor Bruh she has talent

[@roguex9469]

DAVID GARCIA Ignore him, he is upset over the fact that no one pays attention to his fuck boy status.

[@mamadleau]

lorde is a lyrical genius !!!!!

[@secretname9346]

As a metal head, I approve of this lovely young lady and her music.

[@onlytymewilltell]

I still remember the day I heard the song royals for the first time. The music video came on tv one morning while I was getting ready for work and I stopped dead in my tracks on sat down on the bed and was mesmerized by her voice and beauty. The man who said it catches you from the moment it comes on is 100% accurate! Best of luck to you Lorde.

[@billy_avila]

14:32 i love that she stands up for her music so much. she makes what she wants to make.

[@gertsio2196]

I LOVE her hair

[@ROBBSTAR76]

Lorde was saying in a polite way to the TV woman presenter "piss off" when asked if she had a pre ritual b4 gettin on stage lol

[@laurenstaab5679]

robert james ikr lmao

[@nicholasdavenport3612]

😂😂😂😂 She really did though I was gettin that vibe as well. I was like can you not tell that she wants to be left alone

[@alannovianto]

LOL 😂

[@khawk2995]

I’m in stitches 🤣🤣🤣

[@sitihumairahzulhaimi2971]

Lorde is simply an amazing person hands down.

[@hahahah303]

my favorite artist, there’s no one like her. no one.

[@한국내셔널리즘이영원]

So she's hated on for being herself? Sounds very familiar.

[@xy4269]

한국 내셔널 리 즘이 영원히! 일본 파시즘을 씨 발! Same as Bjork...yet both of them create timeless pieces of art!

[@xenomorph778]

taylor swift

[@gamerjamson]

@@xenomorph778 Taylor is a sellout.

[@CatLover7112]

Yes, people WIIL & DO Hate you just for being Yourself.... But they themselves want everyone to ACCEPT THEM for who THEY Are... It's sad but extremely true.. Just for being oneself, people will hate you....

[@fartpotatoes]

Lady Gaga?

[@lilybrennan3831]

ribs always makes me cry and when I saw her doing it live i nearly started crying omg Lorde is absolutely fucking amazing

[@Avvisoful]

I even love her voice when she is talking. Crazy

[@ANNASTASIAUTHOR]

I gotta point out one important thing - before Lorde there wasn't that style of singing that you hear now literally everywhere, that kind of voice. When I first heard her after the 'Royals' came out, I was so into her music 'cause this was something completely new. And then many singers started adopting her style of music, but she was a discoverer for sure. So we should not forget about that. She is unique and genuine, and the fact that she's being criticized so much for absolutely stupid things like appearance (she's gorgeous, by the way) , the mv or anything else just proves that she is an outstanding artist.

[@morganriddiford2646]

I’m 17 and If I could just write one song that sounds like and is as good as hers I’d be happy. It baffles my mind that she wrote many of them from her first album when she was 15! It’s amazing

[@996Rose]

that's amazing and inspirational and she's damn pretty

[@cappiece3786]

Royals was my favorite song ever and I'm 70

[@job5236]

Pretty damn character strong for a 16-year-old. I was a lot more childish (and certainly not mature enough to write those kinds of lyrics) at 16, even though I consider myself an 'old soul' and quite deep. But Lorde was that at 16 and I am in my twenties. Also, she's never bought into the whole fame thing and gone Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus insane even though she was in it from a young age. Like I said, character strong.

[@ramdam6679]

ribs is y absolute fucking fave song of lorde I hope this song plays when i travel to heaven

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

Jesus wants to be your friend

[@orlandova8785]

WE NEED YOU TO RELEASE HOSPITAL 15:08

[@wren9083]

i was about 6 when pure heroine came out, and only started really listening to Ella spring 2020, i feel like i really connect with her music. i’m so happy she’s hinting at music for next year!!

[@zagrvyb]

she's come such a long way. i remember watching this video 4 years ago and now, 'melodrama' turns 2 years old today and i can't wait to see what she has in store 🌷🌿

[@dazzleneal]

14:15 UMM NO. THE SONG IS PERFECT THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPINION. BUT NO

[@Mmmalina6]

She is smart, talented witch. I love her music so much! I'm so glad that she didn't want to perform w Katy Perry (I don't really like her music). And new album is a masterpiece! She is like mystery mixed with magic.

[@ILT991]

You know, I've grown up listening to a lot of genres of music growing up. I'm 16 years old, so not quite old at all, but growing up I went through a heavy metal phase, although now I'm not that big of a fan. Since I was about 11 or 12, I started to listen to mainly hip-hop and rap music. For the years up until I was about 15, almost all I listened to was rap and I cared for no other genre because I was just stubborn and didn't want to listen to anything else. When Lorde, or Ella as I just like to call her, released pure heroine I wasn't too interested because I wasn't into pop, mainly just rap. Then once I heard her beautiful voice come through the radio speakers, I fell in love. I'm a huge fan, I have a Lorde sweater and two T-Shirts and even have the vinyl record of pure heroine. I have yet to go to a concert but I will for sure as soon as I can. I think that most music on the radio sounds awfully alike most of the time, but Lorde did something different, and I love her for that.

[@laibaimran6916]

She is so damn beautiful.

[@NoodlesVanPflock]

Joel Little and Scott Mclauglin (did I get the names right?) seem like such intelligent, sensitive people to help her on her way, and I guess they did an awesome job. And the dancing - Lorde, what has happened? Saw you at hurricane, and it also was your amazing way to move to your songs which made us such huge fans as we are now. You seemed so shy back then, and now you are so explosive on stage! What ever you did, it was the right thing!

[@agramsci]

This is stunning. Her genius--her talent--unlike any other.

[@vaalleentina261]

shes so angelic!! i need to meet her one day!

[@stephferri8673]

watching this now it makes me so happy how happy she seemed at her first show when she was getting cheered on, i think it was really lovely. i kinda miss this

[@roberthernandez1474]

Her hair is beautiful! So is she!

[@jesserodriguez5089]

lorde is from middle earth? she is elf looking. I love her

[@eudora760]

yesssss

[@Daintyfaw]

you can tell that she is more passionate about the process of making her music rather than making lots of money and fame i love her for that. I AM EXCITED FOR HER NEXT ALBUM

[@Amber_xo_133]

Beautiful lady no plastic surgery real face,real nose,real personality real everything Real beauty ❤️

[@SoDerpy]

I really hope she finishes lost boys in her next album

[@Kevin-bloo]

We got to see her make the song of the decade. I- The POWER

[@Susan-ms1wm]

I am 50 and I am a huge fan I love Flicker Beat and she is really a amazing. Love her would pay the ticket to see her live and be so excited, really.

[@jonahkingi98]

My favourite interview!

[@ROBBSTAR76]

She's got a mad hair style ! :) well done lorde on ya success !

[@K11777]

This makes me cry

[@lordmyrann]

Good call. Birdie started with a cover album and it was hard (for me) to enjoy her "normal" music as much in the second album.

[@Rlencses]

I always get sad when see a good concert with a phone addicted crowd... disrespectful.

[@alannovianto]

MrAgaskaaa they're never enjoy the concert

[@ihatemickiegee]

yeah the only times I ever filmed at a show were the first and possibly only time I'd ever get to see some of my favorite artists and even then, the videos sucked cause I didnt look thru the viewfinder I just held it in the air while still watching the REAL LIFE stage. & later when I got the chance to see more bands of extreme significance, I just kept the phone away altogether, as considering my superfandom it was obviously NOT something I was gonna forget and besides, a phone doesn't belong in a moshpit

[@ihatemickiegee]

no but really it is disrespectful. I'm even proud to say that billie joe made a whole ass announcement at the beginning of Green Days set that year that he didnt wanna see phones up in the air and just to enjoy what was right in front of you. I was like no wonder this has been my favorite band since childhood lmao

[@spunchbib4599]

ok boomer. also how is it disrespectful, you save the moment forever... while you there

[@tomoliver2112]

Emiilo you should be enjoying it in the moment not recording it to show off on social media later. It’s a very sad sight.

[@salehalsayaad]

She is so beautiful

[@jinbiased3703]

she's just so talented, so inspiring so amazing

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

What an amazing story!

[@Elif-tf6ic]

The song from 15.40 I have no clue which song is it :/ :/ great interview

[@arlesramirez8629]

It's Hospital/Lost Boys :)

[@turbatg5759]

SHE IS THE FUTURE OF MUSIC

[@bahaazytkafatima7289]

She's different. In an amazing way

[@victorbreindenbach1479]

This girl changed my life

[@bibinazmonfaredzadeh5040]

And it did. I'm happy this music was created. Lorde, Lourdes, & Madge 2021.

[@kelkjeffery4780]

Insane watching this during the build up towards Solar Power. We all knew she'd be a star but could anyone have predicted the masterpiece that is Melodrama??? Lorde is truly an artist for the history books and I'm so excited to see what she does with the rest of her career.

[@meghansullivan6812]

omg comparing this to current interviews, she's so genuinely ~her~ still but just so much more confident and sure of herself wowow!!!

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

She's wonderfully refreshing! I love her tone and style of music! ORIGINAL!

[@officialbatman5921]

I really hope she puts lost boys on her new album

Phenomenal performer, creator, musician. Lorde help me!

[@jamest.5001]

I like songs with a story. add a powerful voice. and some low bass and you have LORDE!!

[@staysharp1476]

Authentic artist and one that gree with her fans, I'm jealous I'm not there to share her story the experience

[@treeblue770]

I love you lorde I'm your #1 fantastic in the Philippines. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@The186thFloor]

It did top the US charts for 9 consecutive weeks.

[@Emmastayofftheinternet]

the first time i heard this song I was driving along dominion road in summer with the roof down and it came on george fm. i immediately loved it. its such a vivid memory as well

[@samreich7042]

WITH GOOD VOCALS WHAT MAKES LORDE SO STRANGELY POPULAR IS THAT HER LYRICS IN HER SONGS ARE LIKE A SWORD IN HER MOUTH IN DEFINING THE DARK SIDE OF LIFE.PEOPLE"S NATURE DESIRES THE DARK SIDE OF LIFE TAKING THEIR SPIRIT INTO IT.

[@louisemiller7584]

Pure Heroine is the best album of the decade

[@barkingcatswow]

It is. I never get tired of it since the year it was released.

[@kalep7591]

Billie Eilish and Her brother Finneas did the same thing and uploaded to Soundcloud!! Crazy.. another amazing female international superstar

[@wren9083]

[@sannimcable]

[@dguynes5424]

I think she is beautiful and has a wonderful voice
