The song is actually written in an Arabic scale (key of E), a heptatonic double harmonic 7-pitch scale. I find it very hard to believe that something this complex was created unwittingly. Sam is a genius and I can't get enough of his work.
Sam's performances of this songs are consistently great but the addition of the BBC orchestra reminds us what a fantastic piece of music this is, which I fear was overshadowed by the opulence of the video. The score for orchestra and vocals for this performance were incredible.
I love that everyone is in black and it's just about the musical quality. It is something special indeed to have an orchestra play your music. That's amazing.
Yea I agree, has a middle eastern vibe to the music and you really hear that in this version. Also I love LOVE Sam like this. You know how he gets down, but this kind of refined energy allows his incredible artistry to since through! ❤️
The mix on this is AMAZING. Usually I have a hard time picking out some of the lighter instruments but everything was the perfect level. Takes the song to another level
I could see this in a Broadway Show. Some kind of Rock opera. This is so good. Love Sam's outfit. Perfect for this version. Like a priest. Or club owner.. *Let me add - Mommy usually knows... 💜
@@pretmark the confusion in this comment section shows the problem of random pronouns. Why does a singular Sam smith claim to be a they now../ narcissism I suppose
The vibe this one gives off compared to normal is drastically different in a good way. It felt more intense. Also the close up on the triangle was wonderful 😂
This is wonderful! I like this better than the original. This definitely takes the song in a new direction and gives it its own unique style. I really like this version so much. I would absolutely buy this version to listen to on a regular basis.
Imagine taking music lessons all throughout childhood and spending years studying and practicing classical music. And all that leads you to this iconic, historic, UNHOLY performance. Those musicians must feel so accomplished. 😄🥲
هذه افضل نسخه أو اصدار من الاغنيه اغنيه مذهله موسيقى وتوزيع اكثر من رائع تناغم فى الأداء كلمات جميله تعبر فعلا عن أرواحهم الضائعه فى مستنقع الملفات والبعد عن الأخلاق والايمان فى النهايه .انهم أرواح ضائعه داخل موسيقى مذهله وصوت رائع
Holy moly, I could not be more agree with the ones saying good things about the song arrangements, the back chores and everything, every version is better and better...is there a better word than incredible, amazing, marvelous 💃💃💃💗
This was spectacular. Though I would have wanted the sound engineer to reduce the volume of the singers' mics so we could really hear the orchestra in all its glory
Even after the music ended, I couldn't keep my mouth shut for a long time. They're really beautiful human,,, how could they make this kinda performance ???!!!!
2:50~That harmonizing killed me! LOVE THIS SONG, TO DEATH! AND KIM'S LIL SQUEAK ON THE LAST SYLLABLE OF "DRAMA" WAS SO ADORABLY SEXY!🥰 ~Sam...U r a bloody genius !Well done, darling!!! Bloody well done!!!👏👏👏
FORGIVE ME FOR YELLING!!! F@#%ING AMAZING!!!!!! This version is my favorite … love the way the camera zoomed in when orchestra played ….SOUND IS AMAZING, I can hear every instrument, every string and ALL THE BEAUTIFUL VOICES
Con Orquesta es el top para esta interpretación claro con esa voces de ambos pueden cantar con cualquier acompañamiento musical hasta con mariachi se a de escuchar super bien

Ok from now on I’m expecting all Sam Smith songs to come with a version like this. This is freaking cool
yeah their voice is so empowering and the orchestra enhances it even more
❤
🙋
This Satan shit is nothin good!
they just did! Go to BBC Radio 3 and look out for yesterday's (Friday 2 August) Prom ;)
I've probably seen Sam Smith do like 10 versions of this and I'm loving each of them. My favorite one definitely 😍
🤡
saturday night live dropped the ball a little
Totally agree! This is the best!
All ❤️💃
And each one as bad as the one before. I like Sam but just hate this song
The orchestra elevates this song to a complete different level!!! Well done Sam and Kim… well done singers too!!!👏👏👏
Yes, I totally agree. The orchestra arrangement was incredible!!❤❤
This Satan shit is nothin good!
I disagree
This piece: "CARMINA BURANA" has already exist
Its the most famous opera in the world
I like how powerful the background singers are in this orchestra version. And that Arabic elements 😂
Honestly, I don’t think the Arabic sound was intentional lol, I think it’s just the orchestra. But still cool either way 😊
Oui il y a de l' orientale dans l' orchestre
They killed it.
Egyptian elements

I literally cannot find a bad live performance of this song. They’re all such amazing and passionate musicians 🥹😍
If you are born with good vocals you can be a singer undoubtedly.
İf you sell your soul to Satan, you can do it, too
@@brucebanner9532 Amen!
I love this version. It's orchestrated beautifully and the vocals are pristine
Das zeigt welches Talent dieser Künstler hat ,er braucht eigentlich keine dramatischen Kostüme um präsent zu sein . Toll unglaublich schöne Version
This is my favorite version with an orchestra! POWERFUL!!!!
the strings have some elements of classical arabic music, beautiful version
I didn't expect the xylophone w/ the strings! Goosebumps man!!🎵🎶🎼❤
they them
@@sashabazine8364 They didn't misgender them?
@@YoungBloodJen i was trying to be funny I guess back to the drawing board
neither was I HAAHAHAHAA
for my the best presentation.. no costumes ,or dancers only the pure Sam's voice and this amazing orchestra..I loved it
Exactly!!!
Wow powerful! Didn't need a full choir unlike the studio version. Having a orchestra do this is empowering
I love that everyone is in black and it's just about the musical quality. It is something special indeed to have an orchestra play your music. That's amazing.
The harmonizers gave me chills and so did the big drums wow
I feel that the sound of the music was a bit loud, but in general, Sam's voice is so real that you always think it was recorded
This was really cool! Love the orchestra and the backup singers!
Yea I agree, has a middle eastern vibe to the music and you really hear that in this version. Also I love LOVE Sam like this. You know how he gets down, but this kind of refined energy allows his incredible artistry to since through! ❤️
This was 🔥🔥 and that final note was so crisp it gave me chills
The mix on this is AMAZING. Usually I have a hard time picking out some of the lighter instruments but everything was the perfect level. Takes the song to another level
every performance kim is so good at harmonising with sam after her verse it's great
I agree with you
This really highlights the beauty of their voices and this song. Just magnificent!
Agree 👍
Wow… this version is just stunning … the beats !!!
Just when I thought this song can't get any better I FOUND THIS VERSION!!!!!
The operatic value of this piece is incredible.
I’m obsessed! Wish this song was longer!
Listen to CARMINA BURANA
This music is a plagious
Can´t get enough of this orchestral version, just loving it... ;)
This has a middle-eastern flare to it!😮 It’s so beautiful!
This is why I love the RUclips algorithm! I didn’t even know this version existed and it is 🔥🔥🔥
I could see this in a Broadway Show. Some kind of Rock opera. This is so good. Love Sam's outfit. Perfect for this version. Like a priest. Or club owner..
*Let me add - Mommy usually knows... 💜
Sam does look like a priest or club owner! 🤣
Это прекрасно. Спасибо Сэму за то, что она так чудесны и великолепны!!!
I love their voice. They have amazing talent. Kim is awesome too
him, he is a male
Non binary actually
They use they them pronouns
@@pretmark the confusion in this comment section shows the problem of random pronouns. Why does a singular Sam smith claim to be a they now../ narcissism I suppose
So do i. They’re so good at what they doing
I adore him. All versions are wonderful. This version is very strong. He has a wonderful voice. The music is wonderful.
You know that a singer is amazing, when the live performance is at least as grate as the studio version😍
Talento indiscutível. Sam Smith é muito foda e esse harmônico instrumental está incrível!
I love Kim's presence and hype, she pulls you in! She's great
다시 한번 반하게 만드는 샘스미스..
목소리 넘 황홀 ^^😀
Goosebumps! Wow this version is simply incredible !
The vibe this one gives off compared to normal is drastically different in a good way. It felt more intense.
Also the close up on the triangle was wonderful 😂
Jeden z piękniejszych utworów jakich słuchałam.SUPER
LOVED IT! My favorite so far..so powerful without all the extra stuff just excellent voices & music!! The Arabic touch was amazing!!!!!
This is by far my favorite version!! Stunning 💓
I love every single version of this song, always surprising
Wow! This is so dramatic with the orchestra - adds such a great dimension to the song - fantastic! ❤
What a beautiful performance!
Gave me the chills in all the right ways...
Bloody love this version.Amazing 😊
This is a beautiful rendition of this bop!
I feel so proud to see two people from the LGBTI+ community being so successful and having such beautiful chemistry on stage
😂
OMG ! What a stunning performance! Always ALWAYS ALWAYS THE BEST DUO😍 both artists with such amazing vocals!😍😍😍😍😍
i did not know i needed this orchestra and all the instruments!!! the voices singing omg! 😳
Hermoso, notas de cantos gregorianos y árabes. Es un artistazo hermoso, Sam Smith ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful orchestra. Great singers. Love this song. Thanks everyone.
Why is this song so addicting to listen to? I've seen so many videos lol its fun every time. Very cool arrangement. Looked fun to play!
This is wonderful! I like this better than the original. This definitely takes the song in a new direction and gives it its own unique style. I really like this version so much. I would absolutely buy this version to listen to on a regular basis.
Those backup vocals 🤘 and the band solo just before kim comes In is epic 🥴
They can sing! Love this duo!
😂
Amo o fato do Sam reaproveitar essa música em vários lugares e plataformas, isso mostra que ele sabe o potencial que essa música tem❤❤❤❤❤
i need an album of just them two, pls & thank uuu
Same af
Oh, this is so incredible and amazing! SAM, KIM and the ORCHESTRA, AND BACK UP SINGERS, WAS SO GORGEOUS! LOVE IT SO MUCH! GREAT JOB! ❤
Imagine taking music lessons all throughout childhood and spending years studying and practicing classical music. And all that leads you to this iconic, historic, UNHOLY performance. Those musicians must feel so accomplished. 😄🥲
That’s hilarious.
Also: There is huge chance that they got paid better for this then for few months of their "normal" work in some orchestras XD
and imagine Metallica collaborating with San Francisco Symphany
I really cant tell if this is satire or not, I pray it is lol
Was that sarcasm?
Esses dois se superam a cada apresentação. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sam is living his truth !! i admire him for that !! big talent both of them , and the live orchestra is a must !! AMAZING JOB !!
Sam and Kim sound *so good* together--here's hoping they collaborate more down the line. ❤
the dedication to art is invigorating!
هذه افضل نسخه أو اصدار من الاغنيه
اغنيه مذهله موسيقى وتوزيع اكثر من رائع تناغم فى الأداء

I am so addicted to this song every version is holy
Wow. It's like you're in the video with them. The orchestra, the voices, it's all pure talent and amazing art.

Thank You for sharing!!! Theatrics on point!!
This has been my favorite version and performance of this song brilliance
Sam tem uma voz incrível. Cada versão ao vivo essa música fica melhor.
As always, Sam, every style that you take this beautiful song, is always a winner! Keep up the good work!!
To druga wersja tej Piosenki jaką słyszałam - ta wersja instrumentalna podoba mi się jeszcze bardziej niż ta - teledyskowa.🍰🧸Fajne .
Oh my goodness she can’t even sing ask Gigi de Lana to give you lessons
@@lcan7390 shut up
This is 🔥🔥🔥 - It's giving Fiddler on the entire freaking Roof vibes... I stan. 😻
It's so great when artist showcase their voices instead of how outlandish they can look and act. Good for you Mr. Smith
Holy moly, I could not be more agree with the ones saying good things about the song arrangements, the back chores and everything, every version is better and better...is there a better word than incredible, amazing, marvelous 💃💃💃💗
This was spectacular. Though I would have wanted the sound engineer to reduce the volume of the singers' mics so we could really hear the orchestra in all its glory
Great performance with the symphony orchestra. It must be said that it is a very beautiful song. Congratulations to all.👏👏👍
Background singers are 🔥🔥🔥 too!!!!
Even after the music ended, I couldn't keep my mouth shut for a long time.
They're really beautiful human,,, how could they make this kinda performance ???!!!!
2:50~That harmonizing killed me! LOVE THIS SONG, TO DEATH! AND KIM'S LIL SQUEAK ON THE LAST SYLLABLE OF "DRAMA" WAS SO ADORABLY SEXY!🥰

I never get tired of hearing this wonderful sound.
Thanks to one song, I have built a library that contains only versions of “Unholy”. Love, love this.
