Lyrics
This may come, this may come as some surprise
But I miss you
I could see through all of your lies
But still I miss you
He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not mine, they're not mine
He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too
My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller, taller than the Empire State
It dives, it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
I still want you
And I want you to want me too
My love is wider than Victoria Lake
Taller than the Empire State
It dives, it jumps
I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
That I still want you
And I want you to want me too
It dives, it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that; surely you want it back
Tell me, is it a crime? - Видеоклипы
One of the stupidest and best decisions I ever made in life was spending that month's rent on a Sade concert ticket since she's last toured! What a rare gem!
Month's rent? Wow. Saw her in concert in '93, ticket price $26.75. Great seats too! Looking back can't believe the price but forever grateful because I wouldn't have been able to afford the cost of my rent. Worth it and more!!!
Only just realised that Sade was performing here in Sydney 4 weeks ago and I had no idea ...! Damn.
Lol. I would have done the same.
U lucky
It was the right choice
anyone else seeing this piece of art in 2024?
Yes , wish she could go on one last tour
Yeah, this version I like the best ❤
Yes! First time seeing this live performance. Just amazing.
Yes
claramente
Its not just Sade, the whole band is just mesmerising❤
I agree, the whole stage is on 🔥
Sade refused to abandon her musicians when he signed his first contract, as requested by the first label that searched her. It was clearly a good decision.
Ela e FANTÁSTICA
Omg yessss
Sooo Sade?
Her voice is a crime. She could break glass and knock down walls. Ultimately Fantastic! No one can compare, She and her band are the NINTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!!!
😂😂😂
Sim são maravilhas que não se vê mais!
See how she lets her band mates shine? A rare gem
yes and i'm pretty sure she left said that want the broadcast cameras to light on all equal
Jaye Maelle Because SADE is both the singer and the band. Sade the band is Stuart Mathewman (sax), Paul Denman (bass), Andrew Hale (keyboards) and Sade Adu.
she famously refused a record deal if her bandmates were not included
She even walks away from the spot light tho
Exactly !!!
The only crime is we don't have more people like Sade, & her band in this world!
Simple Man look up the band called: “the internet” the song “penthouse cloud” will take you somewhere. Like Sade does. (Kinda)
Completely agree! 👍
@@velkoto1 comentários perfeito. Eu ouço SADE desde criança não sabia muito sobre ela mas sempre amei, Se eu fosse uma cantora gostaria de ser como ela , linda, sensual e gênia.
.
we have better/ Tina Turner
sade is the name of the band
She’s not from this world, every time I see her on stage I’m just shaking my head thinking how surreal her Talent is, not just her Voice and the band but also her grace, the way she moves, she just has an halo around her that makes her really special. Just wow
She’s great but let’s all take a minute to admire that Sax Player... just WOW!
The Sax Player can put me to bed. Opps! that did not sound right. Actually, it did.
Sade is one of few artists that has a massive following and does not have to advertise or be a puppet to their label. Very rare. Also that guitar solo.
Good Groy They are all required to sell out. That’s why I left the industry. Nevertheless, she’s still my favorite.
no one is better than Tina Turner and she have the mos huge funs
THAT guitar solo, indeed!
That guitar came.
@@goldbars777 what a shame that the music industry sold it's soul
Her band is amazing!!!
Yes they are
they are true to their profession!
Queen of the Queen
love you
Ayana Weaver . Of course they have to be amazing cause they play for a amazing singer
Yes they are fantastic!!!!
Such an incredible vocal talent, the band..unparalleled, total class and elegance. She is the jewel of the 80’s.
I saw a short documentary about Sade's early career. She was a fashion student in London and started working with Spandau Ballet as a fashion consultant. Then, not long after, a backup singer for an unknown band quit and they asked her if "she could sing". The rest is more or less history.
the hard times we are living, make me cry listening to Sade. The most talented black woman who shines always just for her music, voice, and talent. No need to raise any banners! Love you Sade since 85!
I’m sitting here crying too 😭🫶🏻
Sade is by far the best artist of all time time she is mesmerizing!
A gift from God from a little town in Nigeria to the rest of the world.
e are all God's Gift stupid
@@Dino-su2wh sorry, but god is not real
via Clacton Essex
Calm down Julius Ceasar was close but not a God.. she’s no where near but i love her
Puerto Rico
She blows all other female artists away. They dont hold a candle to her.
U SAID IT, she is on eternally unique, a league on her own, her talent knows no bound, and icing on the cake she is kind, and respectful, and humble. She is simple God's gift to the world. I hope she has a tour in 2017 or 2018, my life wont be complete unless I listen to her live.
EXACTLY!!!
Victoria Sandoval
Victoria Sandoval hello hru stop by let's chat
Her love is wider than Victoria Lake.
Her love is taller than the Empire State.
we all love Sade so much:)
I took my daughters to see her in Boston in 2011. It was my 3rd time seeing her live. In 1984 I drove in a snowstorm to the Orpheum theater in Boston from WMass. I was beside myself through her whole gig.
The production of this show is off the charts. Please please let them tour again
i swear she takes me to another place... Goddess
sfiler60 her iconic voice, that master class band...in another world
i thought it was just me....i even get lost in the nuances in her movements lol...bad to the bone! a nautural...effortless...thats the seduction! make a straight woman wonder...lmao
sexy lovely fun smart woman....with nothing hanging out. that's sexey
From day one until today 2019 I have been listening and always enjoying her music, style and Angelic performances! Sade and her fantastic bands have been incredible. Can’t wait to see her live again! Peace & Blessings to Sade.
I was thinking the same!
The fact that this woman can wield this type of power after being dormant for so long speaks for itself. She is a true artist who also happens to be very beautiful.
Karen Burroughs 0
this is probably the best musical performance ive ever seen
Sade is the whole BAND
That eye move she does at 5:20.
BADASS. Bless her. She's bad and she knows it.
That`s why she is so desirable ;) a real sexy BADASS !
my sicky paranoic.. only one goodmining advice.. never write or talk about thinks.. you have no idea.. thank you 😎😘
Lol how did you even see that #loveit
The guitarist is like making love to its instrument 🎸 guitar. He's so into it that he even plays with his eyes closed. Sade has the most passionate musical team in the way they perform. That is love for music 🎶. Is it a crime not to love this?
The Sephardi1224 he's in what I like to call The Prince Zone. Nothing else exists in his mind at that moment but his guitar and him. He feels the music with every fiber in his body.
Exactly, he make love but he re live a scène with a woman. Closed eyes, he remember all the scène and the progress
Very big talent To expose his intimate moment
Just crazy
And sade, great respect To let your musicians express their love
Thanks so much To you and your band
They high
This generation has no idea how badly they got it.. this is MUSIC.. MUSIC THAT HAD A STORY, EMOTION, SMOOTH , PASSIONATE.. artist today could never..
Fully agree. It is a shame.
The are, specially in Brazil. Search for singers like Liniker, luedji luna, Alcione, Maria Bethânia. the world is big.
Beautiful creative♥️💕❤️🌺🍾🍇🌳 and yes very passionate 👍🍷❤️🌹melody and Sade like a very rich wine smooth as silk vocals 🍷🎉🎊🥰with a beautiful range brilliant talent❤
Im 18yo and i listen to this goddess daily, it's not about our generation but about the whole structure of music industry these days.. but i agree
Man if you don't sit you old ass down with this generational shit as if singers like Jorja Smith and Alina Baraz don't exist
sade sends you to another universe when you listen to
This guitarist has the best gig in the business. I'd literally kill to have his job.
The two guitars, on the keyboards guy and Sade being together since the beginning the called the band after her name 🤗
Her sense of timing is unbelievable!!! She just blew me away.
She gave her heart and soul to this performance nooo holding back esp on that last note incredible beyond
Yeah, no doubt. I didn't think she was capable of such power.
I mean the whole song is a true masterpiece, but that guitar solo is from another dimension
Coolest stage lighting ever. No need for background IMAX screens with this kind of talent on display . . .
I was hooked the moment the curtains fell.
she's done a background screen. Check Soldier of Love 2011.
Funny thing I'm noticing though is Beyoncé copied this concept two years later
@@almondbrownie1587beyonce didnt copied anything, she was inspired by sade obviously
Is it a crime that I want Sade to do another tour?
William Bevins Hopefully, soon...2020.
That would be sweet
Same!!!!!
@@paulap8170 i see your words now I want to cry.
definitely not a crime
Wow, that run at 6:31. I did not know she had such a high falsetto. Incredible.
i can not understand how anyone talk about that awesome moment
Loved her in the eighties! Still love her today 2022! Class act!😊😊
That guitar solo, everything was beautiful
That guitar solo is...EVERTHING!!!! I always have to listen to it more than once!!!!
Cherice Holloway literally just came here for that! wish I could find tab for it. no patience to learn it by ear.
Cherice Holloway yes exactly.. I love the way the guitar solo has space to breathe.
It is brilliant! Absolute perfection.
Cherice Holloway that electric guitarists kills it. Truly takes it to another level
Cherice Holloway me too
I’ll tell what’s a crime , why do we have to wait 10 years and more to see sade and her magnificent band perform ??
WE NEED MORE CLASSY SINGERS AND PERFORMERS LIKE SADE FROM TODAY'S MUSIC ARTISTS.
The ending of the masterpiece screams out her majestic vocal capability when she reaches her highest note and sends shockwaves to me everytime i hear it
ah! I hadn't seen your comment before! happy to see that somebody else noticed this crazy and magnificent final!!!
I was not surprised..
Couldn't agree more friend...she and her band are magnificent....
Me too
That woman is EVERYTHING!!
I love how they all equally get their uninterrupted moment it’s an amazing group dynamic honestly Sade is always amazing
an absolutely luminous and larger than life star, and yet when she smiles at the end and says “thank you”, she still seems genuinely grateful for all the love. 40 years of being humble, gracious and magnetic - may she live to be 100 years old! ❤❤
This rendition was phenomenal. It's the best one I've seen yet.
+Noxendi I agree!
Well, the first time I saw Sade performing "Is it a crime" was during Live Aid back in 1985. I always thought that Sade was to young to make music like this. Unbelievable that Stuart Matthewman composed a song like this at that age, really amazing. And with this video everything comes together. The band matured and life gave them some scars. This is a great performance and Sade can be named in the list of jazz singers like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald. Love it !
YES you're right, SO young when they made that..!!! crazy! because this song is really a very very mature song..
the way she modulates at the end on "crime" is absolutely crazy and so well done!!!! isn't it??
The whole setting of this performance. From the point of dropping those red curtains to the end is phenominal. Funny thing is that I lost track of Sade for many years because I was more into the techno scene and due to a remix of Pearls I got interested again. And oh boy, almost 50 years now rediscovered this band. Hope they will come to Holland sometime to perform at the North Sea Jazz festival. Although Sade is not a festival band I'm sure they will do fine there.
I was blessed to be living in Ottawa Ontario in 1984 when the Montreal Jazz fest occurred and she was there along with Stevie Ray Vaughn.....what a show!!
beat you by 2 years !!......................1983 in a pub in london.....................and we all went WTF ........................who is sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......................Essex girl via Nigeria ..........she refused to marry me ...........................still not got over it now 60 !!!!
What a woman. What a band. What a synergy.
Her vocals gives me tingles all over my body… no other artist does that for me. Saw her in 2011 when she toured her in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. Worth every penny.
they’re recording a new album rn! and i can’t wait to see them too when they come to melbourne! i really wanna know what the experience for you was like in 2011
This woman is my mother, my sister, my friend, my goddess at the same time.
Thank you so much for the art you create. You are all a masterpiece
couldnt have said it better myself (: brilliant praise too Sade The Mother of Goddessses (: Just The Everything of Everything in this world period (:
THE GUITAR SOLOIST IS SO SO COOL. HE DOES THE MISSING TRUMPHETER SOLOIST JUSTICE. SADE & HER BAND ARE OVER THE TOP, AS ALWAYS.
That would be Rick Braun- the missing soloist trumpeter. Indeed he was awesome as well.
Wow, she is fantastic, but everyone viewing this video knows this already. Not only is she a great vocalist, she is beautiful, and her band shines through as well. My compliments to all of them.
I was bless to see her and the band,in 2011 in Long Island at the Nassau coliseum I was right near the stage. Sade is absolutely one of the best female singer and performer and the band is out of this world on firer. She is absolutely a beautiful site to behold. What a show . I still have my Sade shirts hanging in my recording studio from the show. Next time they do a tour in USA do your self a favor go see Sade and the band . You will witness greatness. Respectfully we your fans love us some Sade ❤ Blessings
It’s a crime that 124 people didn’t see the pure talent displayed by every member in this band. Sade is on another level.
Stuart Matthewman sax awesome compliment to this beautiful music.
And the fascinating part is... HE WROTE THIS SONG...
AND MANY OF HER OTHER HITS!!!!!💖💛💖💖
Stuart has really taken his tenor sax to new higher levels with his maturity 🎷🎷🎷 👏👏👏
I've been using sade to help with my healing process and re-introduction to my feminine energy.
Who’s here 2024?
Since the first time I heard "Smooth Operator" never stop admiring her beauty and her voice
Is it a crime, that even after all these years. I like to spend my Saturday nights listening to Sade? Unique, bold, and real...
2023 and who else is here ?❤ she is just magnificent. Love and peace to you all!
I'm here in 2024..still rocking to her style of music. Still can't believe she be doing this from the early 80s ..my childhood
Sage is rare: I've never felt so touched by a song that addresses unrequited love like this one from Sage. She's outstanding.
I just dont have the vocabulary to express how howw beautiful that was done X0X0X0...
SHE IS MY INSPIRATION..............................................MAY THE LORD BLESS HER IN ABUNDANCE
Undefeated!!! Thats why I named my daughter after you! Bless you!!!!!
I love Sade and her band. I hope and pray she go on tour again. She is the only artist I would spend a lot of money on for a concert. Go Girl!!!!
Sade is G.O.A.T. That's all y'all need to know.
+Mesalonika, Greatest Of All Time!
Sade. you are a true Jazz artist. Thank you for keeping the Jazz alive in a world that does not remember.
Her voice is the silky greatest thing I’ve ever heard. Her band rips as well.
That guitarist wow he was absolutely amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
she has not only a voice but pipes. she can sing plus nice looking woman
God, I love her music... What a sofisticated sound...
2:19 sends chills down my spine... a manifestation of power and fragility expressed through her voice 👏👏
Такой композиции больше нет!!! Такое разнообразие инструментов, звучаний, голос космический... Завораживающий.. Как же она чувственно поёт.. Даже тело поёт.. Так чувственно.. И больше не будет такого.. Сегодня век "коммерческой" музыки.. Вот увидите... Спасибо тебе, девочка наша... Ты самая лучшая!!!! Радуй всех своим присутствием по дольше... Пусть ангел хранитель бережёт тебя... Прошу его...
Goosebumps..! Is it a crime to love Sade and her mind blowing music so much? And the band's performance...words fail...pure perfection..!
She has a stronger version of the song,on the album Promise. JazzyT.
The electric guitar man (5:33) is amazing. The band is good but that dude killed it. Absolutely love it. The song will always be that jam to clean to, to drive to, to make love to, to take a nap to, to slow dance to... 👌💜
Dammeh...when I saw her, she got four standing ovations it was spectacular! At the Greek, end of spring or summer, nice moon out. She came out for three standing ovations to perform, people would not leave for at least 4 minutes, the audience applauded and whistled, my sister and I included. It was simply magical.
This band is just freaking insane! Sade is just on another level even after all these years. I love them all❤.
Anen!
Absolutely sublime. No one can touch this lady for pure singing class and stage presence .
Such a complete performance, her band is incredible & her voice is velvet!
That guitar solo is so underrated and minimalist
who underrated this guy? Mention one name to me....
The guitar player is off the hook. F Mr up every time he gets into that guitar like he is making love to it. Watch him.
Love this song. Hardly ever play it. Healing for me.
It's just unbeliavable that her voice just doesn't get old! She's sounding even younger than in Live in San Diego in 1993. What a legendary singer!
My favorite Sade song. Go head and sing it Sade. Love it
she takes you there with this one...💖💖💖
😭😓😓😓
Why has it take me so long to discover what is the perfect 'quiet storm' performance?! Wrapped in the in warm silk of Sade's voice which like the sax rips apart with loss and is perfectly counterbalanced by the lyrical piano and then rend again by the guitar supported by isolated, statuesque staging that is melted by sinuous movement. Utter perfection.
Too good of a comment 👌
wow what a beautiful outstanding comment, tears to my eyes honestly
Fantastic song and performance. This was released in 1985 and Sade still sounds as good as ever.
That guitar solo was chilling and the sax but Sade is epic. Great video
Sade gives much 'Love' to her band!!!
Dios mío, está mujer te lleva al infinito con su voz, la amo ❤
No words, just tears...Sade forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤
is it a crime am addicted to sade songs
She is one of the best female vocal ever!
As always, amazing!
Long live Sade.
I was 16 when I first heard smooth operator and I am 52 now and her music will always be part of my life and identity.
The band is so into the music too, it's mesmerizing. You can really get wrapped up in these songs watching them performed live.
With all due respect... gentlemen... guys.... This is the difference between a girl and a woman. And what a Stunningly Talented Band. Holy sh...
Sade is a goddess, a pure class example. She is beautiful and sexy, she has a voice like a goddess. And she's timeless, and the best singer of all of them.🎊
Truly a gift from above.
Linda demais 👏
Real musicians playing real instruments Live.....with no Auto Tune....I have seen her 2x....and I would see her as many times as I can.......she is a fantastic performer and she doesn't try to overshadow the terrific band....
A voice the has the Power of the Sun and Rhythm that is as calm as A Full Moon. She is truly the definition of Ying and Yang.
No one like Sade!!!
Exactly.......
I like her
So much talent and beautiful beyond words!!!!!!
It never fails. I somehow feel drained after hearing this song. In my personal opinion, this one’s her best. Best heard without an audience.
Just like the music Sade's style is timeless and awe inspiring. The hoops, the hair, the red 💋. I love how she stays true to herself and doesn't feel a need to trend to stay relevant! ❤
This is so good it makes you want to cry. It's unexplainable. This is from another universe.
This band! We all talk Sade, and rightly so about her - but the musicians are extraordinary.
Oh damn!!! Those last few notes were insane. I've never heard Sade really belt it out like that. What an amazing version of this classic song. Been loving this artist since her start. Pure, raw talent right here.
After watching the same song in different concerts, i would say this is one of my favorites, good stage performance, and though she doesn't reach the same tones as in early concerts, it's very ear pleasant how she develops the song.
