Roísín Murphy and Jools Holland perform the David Bowie classic for New Year's Eve 2020/21.

[@Bladerunner_2019]

All these artists slowing down old songs and stripping the life out of them please take note. This is how you cover a song, you give it new life and own it without destroying the original. I have a feeling David Bowie would have loved this. Well done Roisin. This is pretty fucking cool.

[@rgillespie0601]

She is the best

[@keithphilbin3054]

I agree

[@JohnCran]

That has a Grace Jones vibe about it. Love it

[@rgillespie0601]

You know it buddy. It’s awesome

[@LuDux]

So here's Roísín covering Grace kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4qxi2VtfqqUY5Y

[@fernandamaia9152]

Yasssss!!! Agreed! 🔥

[@andrewwaller6395]

I tremble like a flower to the power of Roisin Murphy’s voice and her sly inclusion of her own lyrics into this slow burn of a true classic ✨🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽✨

[@PaoloC.]

Wow that's an arrangement!

[@MrHumanracin]

Love this version! Love Bowie, Love Roisin... and it also has a Grace Jones vibe which is 😎.

[@FronkieMc]

main idols of my life, the three of them.

[@ramihelios]

Five years ago, a giant left the earth. Starman is gone, but his legacy shines brighter than ever. Love ya, David!

[@mrandreshanti]

Wonderful arrangement! Hope she includes this song more often on her setlists

[@rgillespie0601]

This is just fantastic, great creativity, great performers, the amazing and always underrated #Roisinmurphy doing justice and honesty to a #DavidBowie classic. We all know that Roisin just wants to make us all Dance.

[@clairelouisecrocker]

She's incredible with everything she does!

[@robgoodwin3593]

I hope they all realise how stunning this performance was. All of it, but especially from 2m30s .... wonderful.

[@FronkieMc]

exquisit as always. love she made it in the original tone.

[@keithphilbin3054]

The only trouble I have with this is that its too short of a performance 😕 Could listen to her all night.

[@stefandreher7096]

anyone know what designer shes wearing? i feel like ive seen this on her during moloko

[@mo-kk2ie]

looks like robert wun

[@jacekraniowski3891]

How dare You! Sentence me into a lifetime without dancing. Lovely cover with a nice roisin twist :)

[@gofi169]

She's simply genious in every aspect. Her last album is quite a masterpiece.

[@commongivemeanicknam]

Lackluster Murphy. Rightfully so? I think not. Where's the reverb? Where's the pathos? 🤔 Anyway love you RM

[@keithphilbin3054]

Roísín says "how dare you" far better than Gretta.

She's great but this just sounded like a drunk auntie at a karaoke

[@gboates]

The looks on Jool's usually deadpan face says it all. Roísín has never left my current playlist. The most captivating person she is.

More clothes , more wrinkles and a whole lot less sex appeal than the 2000 "the time is now" appearance.

Love Róisín... but that song is kinda meh and doesn't do her justice

[@marcellop3163]

Disagree...listen to Jay Kay singing the same and he rocks....this song is great she just cant sing it.

song we haven't heard before? this is david bowie. how am I suposed to convince my friends

[@paullee8875]

Worth a pop but didnt work for me i'm afraid.

[@jonesjones4036]

I disagree, I think it’s amazing

[@julos71]

Cool arrangement, Roisin Murphy is great but the drumming is out, old fashioned

[@thomasedmundrichards]

You’re wrong. It’s a different version and The band should play to the drummer. Not. The. Other. Way. Round.

[@jonesjones4036]

What’s wrong with old fashioned? Also what do you mean by the drumming is out?

[@julos71]

@@jonesjones4036 I'm not saying he can't play, but I don't like the style or the sound. Even if it is a cover with an arrangement quite far from the original, "Let's Dance" is for me inseparable from a very powerful drums, with a very binary playing. There, in addition, the sound is imprecise with a poorly controlled reverb

[@marlenepetiaye7625]

A little bit louder , for the voice

[@lyazzatrakhimbekova6973]

Music is louder than her weak voice
