One of the very few, rare 90s artists who in 2024 still can sing their own songs LIVE and still sound like their own original recording. And this song never gets old.
I'd like to add the country singer Clint Black to the list. I got to hear him in concert back in September. He's in his sixties now, and he sounds exactly the same as his thirties. His arrangements were just like the 90s recordings, and he didn't stop moving during the entire performance.
The first time I saw Rick on MTV back in 1987, I thought, "That voice doesn't match that body - he must be an old soul." Well now that he has grown up, his voice is still that of an old soul - such a rich voice. Happy New Year, Rick! Here's hoping for many more years of Rickrolling us!
Think he said he earn nothing from the rickroll meme (you don't pay extra royalty if the clips is already in social) but sure as he'll more people knew him now than another faded away 1980s sensation
I was referring to his numerous TV show appearances that wouldn't have happened if it weren't for rickrolling, as well as increased music sales from a whole new generation discovering this song.@@cosplayshop
@@Axemantitan not sure about that, he himself said he weren't making anything from the Rickroll meme. And as I said he probably gain from otherwise being an old 1980s pop star
@@justarandomguy8686 I’m assuming it likely just has to do with the whole “perversion of his work” thing. It took something I presume he took fairly serious and turned it into a dumb joke.
He seems like such a genuinely nice guy who is clearly enjoying his second wind in the spotlight and this makes any of his performances that much more enjoyable. Should really be sick of this song but there’s something very comforting about it. Happy New Year🎉
Can’t possibly get sick of this song. 🥰. It’s like an anthem for all of us who have always wished for those words to be said, and meant, to us! ❤️ Happy New Year! 🌹✨
@@Eidann63 for me, it reminds me of being a kid wearing my mothers long coat singing into the mirror with the hairbrush and thinking that I can sing just as well and have that natural born performer in me. Ah the innocence. It was this and Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer with my kid sister on backup with the tennis racket.😃😃😃
Technically, he didn't Rick Roll us. Rick Rolling only refers to the song randomly and unexpectedly playing in videos, other songs, or clicking on articles. This was planned because it's England's tradition on New Year's Eve, like how the U.S. has someone singing Imagine before the ball drops.
@@yammmit he probably means that other singers lose their former voices slowly over the years, but its the opposite for Rick, he still has that same voice since 1987.
Still a classy, extremely talented singer after decades. Loved his songs since I first heard him in 1987. His songs never fail to bring a smile to my face and lift my spirits. May he Rickroll for decades more!
36+ years later and he can still rock a whole audience with such a presence and vocal abilities like a pro!! That's how you know you're before a true artist!! Thank you, BBC, for such a audiovisual gift!! 😍
Just goes to show the power of 80s songs. This is such a timeless masterpiece. No unnecessary remixing no unnecessary modern sounds. Just clean old classic.
@@yfrit_gg I feel like Rick would want me to enjoy his music the way I want to enjoy his music. He's a cool guy. Maybe you can enjoy the music your way and I enjoy the music my way.
Almost 40 years later.. ( 37 years since 1987)... Rick has got to be the oldest teenager - he looks the same and sounds just as good as he did back in 87.
That's a horrible curse, and fate, live forever, you watch all of your loved ones, friends, and future friends die yet you keep kicking, you will live through hell as the world changes, nuclear war? Perhaps, pandemics, maybe, eventually the earth will be destroyed, then he'd just be floating through space, nothing else but him and his thoughts, eventually the heat death of the universe comes, then nothing will exist anymore, but he will still remain.
He dominated that era like no other. I was 17 and I dunno my impression is that "Together Forever" was his biggest hit at least in my country. Although some 5 songs of his played on the radio like a loop forever.
SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL!! You killed it, Rick!! This song is still going strong even though it’s 37 years old! What a legend Never gonna give you up🎤
You can tell the entire band is having the time of their lives jamming to this timeless hit. From the bass player to the drums to the backing vocals everyone was dancing! Also love that phones are down and everyone is enjoying the moment!
His album was the first cassette that I bought, back in 1989 I guess, and I can tell that his voice is still the same. His look is still young and fresh. Love you from Indonesia❤😊
HE KILLED IT, great performance haha

True. He become old and older.He’s a legend of all time
both
First time I willingly Rick Rolled myself 😂
It wasnt willingly for me when it was live
Same!!! Willingly rickroll and I am living the moment!! Happy 2024!!!
Support group meets Wednesdays.
Me too! 😂
But I was watching live though 😂😂 I loved it!!
Can we talk about how solid his singing voice is? Absolute perfect control, placement, phrasing and just a gorgeous color - this man CAN SING
And in the original key!! JESUS 😍
Edit-ok only a step or so lower but STILL
Just goes to show that this song is meant to be his and nobody else's
Just saw it & and you're so right! Great performance!🎉😊
@@jenniferhiemstra5228arguably it sounds even better in this key/step!
Collaboration matters
his face finally caught up to his voice.
😂😂😂i also think like that
This comment deserves a medal 🤣

It's true 😅😂

*Dude is almost 60 but he's still singing perfectly, respect*
*And rick rolled us*
He got us 😂😂😂
And he manages to stay on the same wavelength with the fans) even though new ones come.
Bro is a good walking meme even though he is in his 60s
No way, he's not a day over 40!
This song turns 37 years old this year, and he looks and sounds better than he ever has! What a talent, and what a smooth performer.
It turns 36 not 37 that’s next year
@@matthewbates9629 Friendly reminder that it's 2024 now
He seems more lively than in the music video and I love his energy and enthusiasm!
Most singers from that period can actually sing live.
with the help of modern music enhancers too
元気でいてくださって、ありがとう。
ずいぶんと若い頃、リックさんの歌声を聴いていました。
今まで生きてきた中で、途中につらい時期があって、
色んなみなさんの歌声を聞かずに過ごしてきました。
でも今では、こうやって聞くことが出来てうれしいです。
どうかこれからも、お元気で歌声を響かせてください。
きっと、私だけでなくたくさんのファンや、ファンでなくても、リックさんの歌声で、励まされる人たちはいると思います。
どうかお元気で!!
How many singers can sing a song from 37 years ago and give it such justice as this man does here? Very impressive
New Edition, New Kids On The Block, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul
Not even that. He's sung it SINCE 1987. Literally hundreds if not thousands of times. And he still kicks ass!
Its 37 Years Old ?!!!
Yeah! …and it’s crazy that this was a performance from 3 weeks ago!
Its his song, no matter how he sang it still justice for him and that song..
Rick Astley has one of the best voices in the history of music, and the dude can sing anything...
I prefer Rick's voice to Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. Slightly smoother perhaps.
I do love Matt Monro's voice too.
I rather hear Dogs bark 🐕

Wow! He’s 57, and in a very good shape. His voice is strong and tasty. He’s like a 35 year old guy. Wonderful performance!!!❤

He did not say goodbye, he never told a lie, and he did not hurt us

Great music keeps them young & alive @@phoebegilliland8897
Yes, you're right. This song was released in July 1987. But Rick was still very successful into the 90s then. @@pokerface4848
Imo he sounds even better now than the MV. His voice is much more mature now and it adds a bit more gravitas to it.

Totally agree!!!
Same!!! I thought no way that voice is coming out of a baby face!
Totally agree.
Dude, he's investing his golden voice since young age.
And now he reaps his investment.
Bro made a hit, became a meme and rocked it again in 2024.
This is what I call "A absolute unit of a legend"
The advent of the Rick-Roll meme was the best thing to ever happen to Rick Astley. He's been laughing all the way to the bank ever since.
I read that he initially retired because of it, he was also rickrolled several times himself 😅
Think he said he earn nothing from the rickroll meme (you don't pay extra royalty if the clips is already in social) but sure as he'll more people knew him now than another faded away 1980s sensation

Plenty of artists get tired of performing their hits over and over again, but I love that Rick still seems to be SO into it
well people still like this meme a lot
He used to hate that it became a meme but has embraced it over the years. Probably easier than wasting energy hating it.
Royalties help 😂

1988-2024! Who knew! A #1 hit in 1988! What legacy! Thanks Rick! Let's get Rick rolled!
A lot of singers lose their voices over the years, but he still sounds just as good!
Tears For Fears:
most singer loses their voice because they over did it.
Sounds better
I never want to say good bye to Rick Astley!
He sounds even BETTER
2014: If you rickroll me again, we will be no longer friends.
2024: Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down (singing with everyone)😂
This is the reality of music today. Once you’ve made a couple of hit albums, you can just retire, and tour with thise albums the rest of your days.
YOU WROTE THE LYRICS WRONG ARHGHHHHGHHHHH 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
Let jiu daun!
I love how, even after all the rickrolls, he's still rickin' and rollin' and people are still enjoying this beautiful song.

"We've known each other since 1987" that was epic 😎

aged like fine wine is a bit of an understatement in my perception

sounds more jazzy
