When David Bowie passed I lost a friend that I never met.
Dennis Daly exactly how I felt
Me too!
i met him once briefly in 1997. he was a friend non the less. his art inspired my whole life. he will forever be the music king in my eyes.
Well said.
great comment! I felt the same.
I can see why David said Lorde was the future, she's different and she's talented just like he was!
zyphod beeblebox wow did he really say that? My God, coming from Bowie that’s the complement of a lifetime.
@Bruno Jimmy he did. its true
and where is she now
In melodrama, a piece of art.
she sucks
Imagine having your hero say that you're the future of music. Imagine performing in his honor, she was probably heartbroken and terrified and yet this is the best performance of her carreer.
David is very proud of her, somewhere.
The 8i
He would have been so proud of her when Melodrama came out. Pure Heroine was damn great, but that album was pure magic.
He’s knows. He’s just floating in space somewhere.
@@sethmden he's a starman
Lordes energy is something I adore.
Lorde was 19 only here. A true queen.
love her
and where is she now....she was a fad.
Manny Ramirez she’s working on her third album. she sends out letters to her fans. art takes time
This isn’t about Lorde! This is about Bowie
@@MannyRamirezM Listen to Melodrama mate
Being "able to sing" isn't just about belting out high notes and screaming. It's about expressing the voice you have in such a way that it has an affect on the audience, which is something Lorde succeeds in here. Her voice wasn't made to belt, but she has terrific low and mid range. I also love how she, at 19, is the one doing this tribute. Almost like passing on the torch (fyi Bowie already called her the future of music so...what else is there to say). Wonderful performance.
Spot-on!
+Dante Iannetta If being "able to sing" only counts on hitting notes and screaming. Billy Corgan is horrible live, Lauri from the rasmus that easily gets tired, even myself. According to these people, singing is only that. What a pity =/ You're spot-on Mr. Dante. Lorde sang it with such emotion that even Duncan praised her performance. And I also agree, it is beautiful. She use the "Minus is better" mode and worked beautifully.
+Dante Iannetta Yes!
+Dante Iannetta Great comment . . right on n. .
+Dante Iannetta Fair do's, I thought she was shit and posed too much, no soul, but there we go, some people just cant let loose, but I suppose to some it seems like it means she has her own unique, subdued style.... but we all know what it really is (constipation)
Bowie loved Lorde because she is different, just like he was. She has her own unique style and isnt afraid to show it. I aspire to be like them. Why hate? Its so pointless, you dont gain anything. Rip Bowie, we love you forever 💔👼
Preach🙌🏻
agreed
yash!
+Riley Wilks 100&..... as another (older) wise person said "Only hate comes from hate" RIP Alice Somer Herz and Mr Bowie, two wonderful, great people.
+Hans De Raeymaeker Well said Hans, well said :)
Imagine being 19 and paying tribute to David Bowie - a towering music icon - and singing one of his signature songs in front of his fellow Brits. The immense pressure Lorde must have been under to deliver a memorable performance. And boy did she deliver with such class and style. No gimmicks. No over-the-top props.
Someone said that she has the ocean in her eyes, and a hurricane in her heart. Add to this nerves of pure steel.
Agreed, she nailed it too.
I'd watch an entire set of her singing Bowie's songs
Kiwi power!
With that beautifully moving montage that played before Lorde walked onto stage, I’d be so scared and nervous if I were in Lorde’s shoes.
@@kikiyoto mlorde
There’s a reason why David Bowie called Lorde the future of music
“Those oligarchs with foaming mouths come now and then...”
He was using sarcasm.😂
why is there so much hate on Lorde here?
I really enjoy her voice and music
+Michael Rodriguez youtube is shit. it's sort of like golf, the higher the score the more shit
+Michael Rodriguez me too, i really love her songs
She was amazing
+Michael Rodriguez it's called fucking IGNORANCE.
+Michael Rodriguez The haters don't know Bowie's music. Lorde does.
David looks down from space and smiles at Lorde for this amazing performance.
Bowie’s wife is a beautiful model...
She is great...
I’m always a little sensitive about other people covering David’s songs but this is exceptionally brilliant . Glad I came across it .
The two artists that got me into pop
Oldman not Goldman
"The young lady who David himself said was "The future of music"" Gary Oldman
Now nobody know her
@@dannyanime3468 in your dreams ... she changed pop music and bowie was absolutely right
@@dannyanime3468 haha anime wtf 👎💩
Youre so wrong...danny anime youre so f*cking wrong just wait for it
It's kinda sad to think that David couldn't live to listen to Melodrama one of the best albums of the decade where Lorde showed in fact that she was the future of music. RIP
Yeah 😢
Sadly true :(.
Future of music? Lol
@@VividFractals Bowie’s words
omg :(
Nicely done lorde. If bowie said she's the future of music, then that's be it.
Bruno Jimmy go to sleep early kid.
I'd pay so much money for Lorde's cover on iTunes
josh dun
Not a penny from me.
Tyler Dun how about you pay me to fart into a box? i guarantee it will both sound better and entertain you more than anything lorde does.
Marcos Villagomez please do a cover thats better than hers, dont judge unless youre better than her
you have no soul
A shoutout to the band, which was actually Bowie's final touring band. They were part of the Reality tour back in 2003/2004, which was cut short due to Bowie's health and was never resumed. They are Gail Ann Dorsey (bass), Sterling Campbell (drums), Mike Garson (piano), Catherine Russell (keyboards and percussion), Earl Slick and Gerry Leonard (guitars).
She sang just like herself, but captured his essence. David would have loved Melodrama.
True, she put a unique but reverent spin on one of the greatest songs of all time
For David Bowie to say that someone is the future of music, I'd say it's impossible to disagree.
+Atrus Official her debut album really is a great piece of work, i was shocked to find out that she wrote and produced it when she was only 15 years old
+Jordan Williams Yeah I can't believe I only discovered her after this tribute, she's really good.
+Cellar Door same
Whatever it takes - enjoy his music
Er....she wasn't.
I was lucky to have accidentally met David Bowie in philly when I was a teen. Riding my skateboard in philly came around a corner and stopped at small group of people out front of a hotel. I said, holy shit, you're David Bowie! He said to me, and I'll never forget: "You've sussed me copper"... and he got in the limo. I didn't understand what he meant by that for quite a while and didn't get the joke at the time. Never been star struck since, I mean, who beats out meeting Bowie?
Private Name English is not my mother tongue can someone explain the joke?
@@vitorleone5721 You have caught me policeman
I cried reading this... I miss him. He really was a best friend that I never met.
How lucky you are :)
you are very fortunate ❤️
Lorde was brilliant. Bowie was the absolute pinnacle of British musical artistry, innovation and talent. I cannot think of another person who is better. He was and always will be a legend.
Fred
Not better maybe, no need to compare, but Jack Bruce.(*Songs for a tailor" record f.e.)
Radiohead?
@@monsterwheel they are too "modern" to be considered as musical icons, but they certainly will be so in a decade. David Bowie first released music 56 years ago, Radiohead's catalogue is only 3 decades old (which is a lot in general terms, but not compared with the 'fathers' of rock music of the 60's and 70's)
yeah
2023 and we’re still missing Bowie. RIP
And 2024.
Lorde's performance was beautiful. I don't understand how people can hate on her. Even Bowie himself thought she was the future of music. And I think so too. Lorde is truly unique, and this performance is not even her best, Pure Heroine was *_amazing_*.
This was only the third time she has sung live in 15 months. She was very nervous
I agree
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agreed with MC Coolarge!
MC Coolarge I agree. Not a very good performance at all.
Watching his Band playing without him is the saddest thing to watch...
yeah, pretty bittersweet.. they got together again, after all

Emma Clarke i already heard the speeches yesterday
Lorde is seven months younger than me, yet she has more talent in a single molecule of her body than I do in my entire body.
"Future of music" indeed.
that´s really sad for you...
+TylerDurden43 LOL XD
You've got your own strengths.
Lorde is much younger than me, but she is a musician. I am not.
Don't be a fuck stick and find some self esteem.
He's not dead.
He just went home.
Kingly duties called✨
man if that was me singing, i don’t think i could’ve gone thirty seconds into it without bawling tears
I thought the exact same thing, and she was fighting to keep her emotions in check the whole time.
Same I’m still heartbroken 😢😢😢
Guys, relax! A tribute is a tribute. You can dress like him (David) or do it with your own style, both are fine cuz the thing is ♡ we all love and miss David
Lady G and Lorde were both dressed as David
Ziggy S. - David B.
And because he was also into people embracing themselves so he would have wanted them all to be themselves.
The second time I watched it, I got it. She's not his match, vocally, but that's not the point.
mediocre. about sums up millennial musicians
See it. This is a respectful tribute to a genius. Not that childish joke they did at the grammys.
OMG, I got chills listening to Lorde do justice to one of my very favorite Bowie tunes. David was smiling down on this very talented young lady, saying, well done, I'm sure!
I teared from the little montage and choked up hearing his band play his music, and teared up at the Heroes bit.
Gary Oldman's contribution to this homage to our beloved David Bowie is absolutely gorgeous and deeply touching.
Lorde placed a photo of David on her instagram today saying how much she misses him

a tribute concert should happen, just like the one that's been done for Freddie
Roberto Peralta yes!!!!!
smiley 123 It' official, look it up.
The band David worked with and performed with since 1995, as well as several other artists that David worked with are doing a tribute tour around towns/cities that were meaningful to David. The first show is on Jan 10th, the anniversary of his passing.
We need one for David, and a metal concert for Lemmy Kilmister.
I just got goosebumps from reading your comment. That would be epic.
2020 and still hurt 😭
Cain, yep.
Cain yep. Life will never be the same. Simple fact. We all felt safe that the world could be challenged whilst he was alive. Forever loved 🙏🏻 how many human beings can truly say that. He was a funny , always interesting and superbly intelligent man and an incredible artist.
I feel absolutely blessed and privileged to have been alive through this mans lifetime. 🙏🏻💖💥💫
It won’t matter how long it will have been, a decade, century, or millennium. Knowing David Bowie, the living embodiment of talented, was taken away so soon and from an awful disease we unfortunately have yet to cure, will always hurt us who admired and respected his work and life...
I watched his tribute programmes last night, I can't believe it is 5 years since we all lost him, so sad
its took me over 4 yrs to finally be able to watch this whole video
I think it's very fitting that Lorde chose Life On Mars, because I think she kind of symbolizes the girl Bowie is talking about in the song. A girl with a lonely, detached homelife goes to the movies by herself because her friend didnt show, and uses the silver screen to escape reality, which in Lorde's case would be a microphone obviously. I dunno, to me her performance was great and pretty much encapsilated the feeling and emotion of the song better than anyone I've seen.
Oof I love this comment

nope...i think someone with a legacy other than being a 1 hit wonder would have been appropriate..but the music industry lets us down again
Vonn I mean she has multiple popular songs from her 2 albums... she isn’t really a one hit wonder she hasn’t made that many albums or music she takes her time. It would be fitting to call her a one hit wonder if she continuously made songs and albums and nothing was a hit other than royals.
It's been three months and I still can't really believe David is gone.
can anybody?
+Chris Wright I feel the same I could have done without that NZ chick not a fan,
Gwinn Freemantle
I loved it! Where are you from that the Kiwi flavour is distasteful?
LOL, Australia :) I was a bit tongue in cheek ;) I just don't think anyone could have done a great tribute to him . No disrespect :) My ANZAC
I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting
I remember discussing David Bowie’s passing with my brother, also David, he died too, suddenly on 30th January same year. He too loved David Bowie, it was a really bad year, to lose both in the same month my brother was 67
7 years and still tearing up, he will always be missed and never, ever equaled
So glad Lorde sang it like Lorde and didn't insult David by trying to copy him....
Honey if someone tries to copy someone does not mean that its an insult
@@chikuritz1547 - Yes!
@@chikuritz1547 true ❣️
@@chikuritz1547 It's actually an insult

(The Song They Used "Life on Mars" Was My Favourite Song You will be missed David Bowie)
Incredible list of songs I think ashes to ashes is my favourite at the moment
This was an awful year - lost 2 of my fave singers - Bowie and Prince 😪😫😫
Its 2022 and I still cry like a baby watching this. I never met David Bowie but he was always in my life. I'm so grateful I got to see him with NIN and a few times after. This is a wonderful tribute. Bowie Forever.
Man David Bowie is literally the definition of icon. A true inspiration. He is one of the best musician ever.
I still get emotional watching this. :-(
same
I imagine you and many people always will.
So sad, i still watching this, and i watched him as Jareth OMG he was a incredible man, amazing man. We really miss him.
Me too :'(
June Pearl me too
I don't understand why everyone's hating on Lorde's performance because it honestly sounded flawless to me
I think it just has no enthusiasm in the notes
ROCK GODDESS he literally wanted her to sing it.... he said he was the future of music... the family said he would have loved it and the family wanted her to sing it..
Haters gonna hate. I think she is quite special.
Totally.
I dont see people hating on her
Very emotional to Hear David's band perform this with Lorde.
“Life on Mars” was the only song my husband asked be played at his funeral (May 1, 2023). He lived and breathed, and died with, Bowie.
An excellent choice of by Lorde. An excellent rendition of a rarely played masterpiece! He would be proud.
David Robert the intentions of the memorial were good, but her voice..... is terrible. So emotionless and out of tune, complete opposite of David
Mateo Rengifo well what do you expect? I mean they can't get a David bowie twin now can they?
Look at Jimmy Fallon's rendition of life on mars and he's not even a singer. So I think it wouldn't be too hard to find something way better than this
Riko van der Helm Fallon is a fucking phenomenally talented humanbein
Mateo Rengifo respect the fact that Bowie loved and admired Lorde, there is a reason she is doing this
2020, still crying. Miss you Bowie✨
I miss him as well! His passing has left a gap in music that will be difficult to fill!
Umylia D. Everyday , buying a turntable his albums on vinyl is helping
Just sad
So very true...
I don't think I'd watched this since it first hit RUclips. Again, I was crying through Annie and Gary's speeches. He made a huge impact on me. The four times I saw him will always be a part of me.
Man!! Just now I realized. Gary was Bowie's friend. Bowie didn't want come back to acting but then ... he accepted The Prestige. Gary surely helped Christopher Nolan to get David Bowie for The Prestige.
I like to think of Commisioner Gordon firing up the Bowie-Signal light in to the night sky to alert our hero to Christopher Nolan's casting distress call...
5 years today since we've lost him... 💔💔💔💔
Lady Gaga and Lord were an amazing performers. They did a special tribute that make us remember the amazing artist David Bowie was. It's not a competition. They both were very special.
R.I.P David Bowie
Lorde*
Gaga !
I agree. Both tributes are AMAZING. LOVE DAVID BOWIE.
+Jere Macchini agree.
Bowie turned in his grave as soon as he learned that Gaga had made a tribute, she's a cunt. Cheers from the UK.
There is one reason why Lorde took part, and that is because Bowie loved her, and saw her as the future for music, that is why his family wanted her to sing at The Brits. That is all that matters about why she did it. His family, (especially his son) hated Gaga's tribute, and they had nothing to do with it.
+Kelly Marie but it was awful - what a dull voice
+Kelly Marie I'm not a big Lorde fan or a Bowie fan,, but I thought she done a fantastic job on this song. I'm not even a Gaga fan and her tribute just looked like a clown show...LOL. Like you Kelly I believe all that matters is why she did it and why she did just made it that much more special!
+Kelly Marie ,he said that Pixies would be the greatest band of 90's and he was wrong as we know,,i don't think Lorde is the future of music and if she is,i'd rather to be stuck in the past!
It was his opinion though, he just really liked her. Whether she changes modern music or not; who knows. I'm just happy he had a tribute from an artist he admired, that is what matters. :) thiago lima
That is your opinion :) David Turner
Why the hell is there 2.7k dislikes! Paying tribute to David freaking Bowie a absolute legend
Lorde haters?
I`m sure because of Lord`s performence. I don`t like it, too. It should be a tribute to Bowie, but all the comments are about her under this video. It really makes me sad. I love David Bowie.
I think the 3k 👎was for Lorde. She sounds awful..omg! Bowie is a legend but maybe he got this 1 wrong....so painful to my ear. Nothing pleasing or a wow!
@@helenpaul67 really? There not one Bowie song I dislike. Such a talent brilliant singer song writer and performer. My uncle told me a story about meeting him in O’Neils pub in London apparently a very very nice down to Earth man.
@@nem447 gotta be. No such thing as a Bowie hater
2021, still processing it.
He smoked cigarettes to much!

YES
+adam laurents I really want Lorde and bowies band to make a album of His best hits but with Lorde singing, not because i think it would be better but i think it would be interesting
Yes!
+Lucas Wide YES!
I've never seen this before.. Wonderful tribute... Hard to say goodbye to Bowie. I've been a fan for 40 years. A wonderful wonderful man and artist.
Totally agree with you except I've watched this many times.
Only been a fan for 2 years :'( Well, I was born in 1998.
+Nintendonix That just goes to show that his music lives on! I've been a fan since I was a kid (born in '89 but my parents were huge fans and played his stuff pretty much constantly) and I love seeing younger people discover his songs.
H LP Yees, David's music will live forever. Long live the king of all chamaleonic artists.
lorde
4 years later and I have to agree. Lorde really did an amazing tribute. Probably the best cover version of Life on Mars I'll ever hear.
@Minami Uchida Dang.
I'm a Kiwi, so proud that Lorde does as she does. Not only is this so epic, she displays so much beauty as she dose it. A fabulously beautiful young lady carrying the Kiwi flag while representing New Zealand in the recognition of arguably the greatest entertainer EVER
imagine the pressure on lorde here
She definitely would have felt Under Pressure
Oldman: David Bowie inspired and influenced everyone.
Lennox: Gary, what do you mean everyone?
Oldman: EVERYONNNNNNNNE!!!
I recently discovered this. I have watched it so many times! Lorde understood the assignment. It wasn’t about her but about honouring Bowie ❤. She did an amazing job at capturing his essence on stage in her own way ❤.
Lorde is the future of music.
I think this is what he wanted.
Thank you Lorde for bringing the spirit of Bowie through rather than promoting yourself like some artists.
Literally no hate for Lorde in comments.
Comment: - STOP HATING LORDE!!!
Rahul G STOP HATING LORDE ❤️❤️
I was thinking that, maybe there are people commenting that when it came out and the hate has been burried by people saying don't hate.
There was a lot of hate before actually
He’s still alive in my house, in my car and even in my mobile! His music joint me in every step of my life...I still don’t believe that this genius is not in this world anymore! Such a sad thing to know that we never gonna have this music again...(new) but we gonna have gor the eternity his music! His beautiful and amassing music!
He is still alive in so many homes, cars and hearts, he will be with us always
Never seen any better tribute for any artist ever than what Lorde did here.

@@AceOfBass-pk1go first I heard aurora singing and now lorde, the two manage to make it sound like a completely different song, they're perfect!!!
In a different way, Billy Crystal was well spoken for Muhammad Ali's memorial.
Lorde lovely girl 😊😎🤗
After those tremendously sincere speech, Lorde must have felt so much pressure. Look how she was relieved when music was over. If it were me, I would have had a panic attack, peed in my pants and fainted.
Haha, me too!
Considering the praise David himself gave to them, anyone else would crumble under pressure (no pun intended).
Bought my first Bowie single when I was 10, I'm now 58. I loved him then, I love him now. His music took me through every stage of my life. I was lucky enough to see him live three times and there is nothing to compare to being in the same space as this extraordinary man. The band's medley was fantastic and the vocal was very touching 💜
I still cant believe he has gone , I continue to talk about him in the present and am even today finding new music or mixes of his work that are new to me . Bowie will be relevant forever
He will never leave us, he is woven into the fabric of the world, such genius never dies, I still think of him daily and am so grateful for his music, humility and that beautiful smile
Love Lorde's voice here. This is the first time I've seen her with straightened hair instead of her trademark big brown curls. She looks good here. I like her smoky metallic eye makeup, too. Bowie and Lorde seem very similar - unique, artsy, intellectual singer-songwriters.
I'm not a massive fan of her solo work, but i suppose she is to 21st century pop as bowie was to 20th century rock, i have a lot of respect for her
@Rosida Andriyana Wtf does that have to do with anything?
Rosida Andriyana wha-
Who else watching this in 2019 while crying because yo miss him???
I'm fucking balling rn lmao
i am hahahaha
And no one can sing like he could
Maite Olaberriaa OOH! Meeeeeee loooool
Me, he was my heart
I was working on the Brits in 2016 and was standing just right of the stage for this performance. I'm a huge Bowie fan and wasn't sure if Lorde was the right choice but boy was I wrong she was brilliant!
This tribute was so much better than Gagas performance at the Grammys
I took his existence for granted. I feel like a fool, why didn't I care when he lived? Now I'm happy that my loved ones are still alive, I will never take anyones existence for granted.
Julian McCartney most honest comment here. And i think many of us felt that way in most of Bowie's career, although the rest are too afraid to say it. Thats what happens when someone so unique and loving dies, friends and people are too afraid to realize they couldve loved him more.
It's been nearly six months and the thought of David's passing still brings tears to my eyes.
Agreed..watching this tribute again today makes me realise just how much of a loss his passing is :-(
+rmberry7 same here.........
Same here ...
The last band of bowie, doesn't say one word, clearly in tears.
Oh dear.... Why would you say that?
Who else thinks that Gary Oldman should play Bowie's later years in a biopic?
I was thinking the same!
i think tilda swinton would be a great choice
David was very much against a biopic about him and Gary was his friend so he probably wouldn’t do it.
Wow. Lorde’s voice is amazing in this
I have been a adoring fan since 21 June 1972, when I saw him perform 'Starman" on the British kids TV show ''Lift Off"". My eyebrows have never recovered to this day, from the homage I made to DB by shaving them off completely during the Ziggy phase.
I had never seen or heard of this girl before, I cringed and actually felt sickened by the tribute at the Grammy's by Gaga, but this, at least for me, was absolutely fitting and perfect! I can't think of a more suitable voice for this, on this occasion, her voice was perfect for it. For those that say her voice was ''off'' do not fully understand the concept of Bowie or his work. Having Gail Ann Dorsey and the rest of the DB band tour members there was really touching......and the itro by Annie Lennox (DB's 'Under Pressure' Freddie Mercury's tribute co vocalist and his friend Gary Oldman was right on the intimacy score. .I cried my eyes out watching this.
+laurence de mello Totally agree!!
+laurence de mello I am a fan of any fine music and this was indeed a great and fitting performance. Nice to see and hear a young woman singing intelligent and individual songs and also without feeling the need to shove her arse in your face. She is not everyones cup of tea but have a listen to "Team" and " Yellow Flicker Beat", great lyrics. Bruce Springsteen also covered one of her songs when he toured New Zealand last year, which is where Lorde hails from. Just good to see young and new (not necessarily original), musicians doing well without having to follow the bland formulaic music which pop artists of most genres seem to be following.
+julienwao yes good points Julien and it was great because it was so un-gimmiky, unlike the Grammy tribute. I do get annoyed when so many say with regards to the dreadful Gaga performance, ''it was a tribute, it's up to them how they do it, it's rude to critisise a tribute'' NO! a TRIBUTE should honour and show respect for the persons body of work....... not trash or minimise it. well that's my opinion. :-). I will go and check out the tracks you mention. Thankyou Julien. P.S strange as it sounds,, when I watched this girl it was almost as if she was projecting some of DB"s energy/vibration........ weird!
+laurence de mello She has only just turned 19 so imagine the nerves knowing full well the responsibility she had taken on. Some people have upset themselves as they say she was flat but I didn't notice that until I read the comments. But I did feel that from the second verse she felt David's presence and enjoyed the rest of the song. If she was flat then she made up for it on the vocalization of 'Mars' at the end of the first chorus but the second chorus ending of 'Mars' was just perfect for the occasion as I I could sense the anguish in her voice evoking a huge loss. The performance at the Grammy's was just diabolical but that's another tragedy in itself. Hope you appreciate the tunes!
+julienwao Hi Julien have just listened to the tracks you suggested and WoW! brilliant...... Yes, I have no doubt why they chose her.
This girl moved me to tears, she isn't your conventional songbird, neither was David, but she was channelling enough of his magic for her own wonderful little tribute, and that band sounded amazing!
Bowie described her as the future of music, and without having been alive to hear Melodrama. How right he was.
I could tell that this performance was important to her, because she fought to keep her emotions in check during the performance and sang them through her heart instead. She choked back her tears at the end; clearly she loved Bowie very much and I choked back some tears of my own to see that love pouring out of her.
THIS is how a Bowie tribute is done. It wasn't a Las Vegas show. It wasn't about anyone on that stage. The spotlight was only about Bowie, about the man and his music. This tribute was humble, modest, poignant, and simple, hosted by the people that David knew, worked with, loved, and admired. The BRITs did everything right with this. It was perfect.
and THAT'S how you do a tribute, ladies and gentlemen.
Imagine hearing compliment from legends and then performing in front of them ..... How nervous she must had been in that situation when everyone was looking forward to her who was praised!
I deeply regret not listening to David Bowie when he was alive. Truly a legend.
this is how you do a tribute, so emotional and calm nothing messy just a voice and emotion! beautiful lorde
have you seen her at the 2014 rock and roll hall of fame? she did great.
Gary oldman paying tribute to bowie..... speechless

10:50 Lorde's tribute.
No don't click it, Gary Oldman's speech is fucing sad
Gotta say, I just watched this. Gary Oldman was good. Annie Lennox was fine. I thought Lorde did a great job. But y'all are burying the lead. The MOST amazing work here was done by Sterling Campbell on drums, Gail Dorsey on bass, Mike Garson, Gerry Leonard, Catherine Russell, and Earl Slick. These guys hit every groove perfectly. They played four bars of everything and I would have listened to them play 400 bars of everything. They were so tight, so inspired, and I can't imagine how sad it was for them to do it without their friend and frontman.

Yes! Can't believe this is the first time I'm seeing this amazing performance. I've only seen the Annie Lennox & Gary O.clips.
Well done Brits. That's how its done. Love to Catherine, Mike, Gail, Gerry, Earl and Sterling. You guys where Bowie's best band. May your memories stay fresh.
well, with the possible exception of Mick Ronson, who was jammin' good with Weird and David with this program aired.
This part, especially the musical part starting around 8:40 was extremely brilliant and well done.

I don't understand why 1,620 people, can dislike this? Its a tribute, to a man who was/is an icon, a legend, will live forever threw his music .... a "tribute to his life" .....
+Samantha Chandler Most clips have haters seems Human nature. Lorde gets one in 33 here. Some maybe Gaga fans
+Samantha Chandler Most of them are trolls
+Isaac Ramos Sad ppl, with no lives ay!
Because Lord can't sing. She has a 2-3 note range and sounds suicidal. . It was a horrid flat performance. That's why people don't like it.
LMAO because you did waste your time listening said peice of turd.
