And still I sob my heart out every time I watch this... what a fabulous beautiful song sung by the only person who could ever ever have sung this.. Thank You the The Shop Boys and Thank you Shirley.... xx
This song is one of the most beautiful ever written. No one but Dame Shirley Bassey could do it any justice. Her voice is still powerful, strong, rich and beautiful after all these years. Long live the Dame. You are loved and oh so valued!
What a great lady. This song is so beautifully performed very movingly. Thank you Shirley for all of the wonderful songs over the years. An amazing lady
I first saw Shirley Bassey at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax when I was 17. I am now 75 She was backed by the Ken Macintosh Band.She was totally amazing then and still is. I loved you that night and still do.Thank you for some wonderful music and memories Melvyn
Somewhere Andrew Lloyd Webber sits and wishes he'd ever written a song like this.... When the Pet Shop Boys are done with writing intelligent pop songs they can move on to writing intelligent songs for musicals. This is an amazing song!!
My mother just died on July 4th 2014 and this song just makes me cry and is a bit about her. Love you so much Shirley, thank you for being you...and my mother!!! She loved you!! I am so sick without her, just been the 3rd day now....Bless!!! Jay
One of the greatest singers that has ever lived, a true Legend, a true living treasure. I only hope I can meet her before my life is done to bow down before her and kiss her hand in gratitude for all that she has given me in song and inspiration. I love you Dame Shirley with all my heart... =)
I love this song it's very moving....Shirley has an amazing way of expressing words...you feel it you sense it you live every moment her whole being expresses a very vivid picture of emotion....it's in her movement, with her body her hands that are so expressive and beautiful to watch, she has it all ...No one absolutely no one can perform a song as she does....years ago I invited my brother to one of her shows.....as she often does ended with 'This is My Life' after the show he said He had tears in his eyes....that is really something for my brother to say....he's big strong and tough as they come not the type that would reduce to tears because Shirley Bassey knows how to reach the depths of your soul...she is so amazing...for years I have loved her I was about 16 or so when I first heard her sing..Till..and I was absolutely captivated by her magical sound. My interest became a passion all my life I am sad to say today that I don't have all her LP's that were and still a treasure, I had almost everyone released.....today I have lots of CD's and DVD's....but through these last few years I have not played her music so much..I only have TV but can still watch video''s.....More recently I bought a new TV and I can watch RUclips....So it's been a revival of Shirely Bassey ...the ones I love to play now are The Greatest Performance of My Life.....Born to Lose....Music was my first love...Last Man in My Life...As If we never said Goodbye.. and Till so nice to relive the memories..
I have no words! This is beyond amazing! Dame SB! After so many years and still in the TOP! I lift my hat such an amazing singer/perfomer you are! This is pure class!
Billboard magazine asked Dame Shirley if she had a favorite track on The Performance. She replied: "I love all of them. But the Pet Shop Boys' song got right into my head and made me sob, and not many songs do that. You can get too carried away with a song, especially onstage, but you can't be crying during every one. When I heard that, after doing all the other songs, it was just too much for me. I don't need to write a book. The record is my autobiography."
Shirley; You gave me pleasure, happiness and so much joy even in my darkest days of my life. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeb DONT EVER GO AWAY. THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS YOU. THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU GEORGE MAHSHI
@whatigot2say She is a treasure and an amazing singer, she is our Welsh treasure, and when in Cardiff ..we know her as 'Our Shirley' and is always treated like a local here, we are not easily starstruck here I don't think...
I love how at the very end, Dame Shirley puts hands on hips, looks up at a screen of her younger self, as if to say, "Well, would you get a load of HER, that girl!". Awesome.
This is a great song I am proud of the Pet Shop Boys for writing this great song, there is no one better who could have sand this song it's made for Shirley. What a voice Shirley as the real X FACTOR, no one comes close she is simply the best.
In my opinion. Our greatest female British singer. Not taking anything away from any others because we have had some true greats but shirley is a treasure proving that diamonds are forever. I was blessed that my late mother used to belt out her records when I was young. Her voice always reduces me to tears.
@hatstalker IM RANDY and glad you feel the same as i do! I loved her since i was 16 yrs now im 47,I sing I took 15 yrs of lessons so when she sings i never have a dry eye.SHES THE #1 DIVA my queen!!!
No matter how many times I listen that final note always makes me cry.
Me too😢
Tennant and Lowe song beautiful ❤
im crying...how beautiful..my old bassey is back.....this song is ...welll..nothing short of brilliance............xxxxi love shirl.....x
And still I sob my heart out every time I watch this... what a fabulous beautiful song sung by the only person who could ever ever have sung this.. Thank You the The Shop Boys and Thank you Shirley.... xx
Can't believe her voice at this age. Who is watching in 2020?
This song is one of the most beautiful ever written. No one but Dame Shirley Bassey could do it any justice. Her voice is still powerful, strong, rich and beautiful after all these years. Long live the Dame. You are loved and oh so valued!

Shirley's performance still gives me goosebumps……makes you want to stand up and cheer….

Has ALW ever really WRITTEN a song? I mostly find him stealing songs...
@@ArbeiterInnenlieder nonsense...not a huge fan, but JCSS and Evita are full of gems
This will always stay close to me Dame Shirley and Pet Shop Boys a collaboration made to last years to come.
Magnificent. Love you shirley. X
My mother just died on July 4th 2014 and this song just makes me cry and is a bit about her.
