Artists like this should be the backbone of the music industry. They bust their ass then get noticed for their efforts and hard work...not hey you're pretty, let's autotune you and give you a record deal and a grammy
She’s right. I remember hearing in the new music segment of The Heidi & Frank Show and I instantly loved it. It was so good they played it twice back to back.
@@Tune_Sky You're wrong. Listen to her life performances. It's her real voice. Liste to her live performance on the Ellsn show, on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon or on Australia,'s new year's eve. No computer generation it's her natural voice.
I love this song and your voice! I was bored the other night at the club, picked up my phone and held it to my ear to hear this song.....ah what a relief! Great pick me up! Thanks!
You literally made tears flow down through my eyes man. When I see homeless people I barely can sleep at night mostly thinking of them how they do. I wish I was a millionaire to be able to help the ones in need. But you can't help them all with your limited budget. I'm just glad and very happy to read that you aren't homeless anymore. At least you are the one who best empathizes with their situations
The first time I heard this song I was feeling down and the song made me temp ignore what was bothering me. I still go back to this song when I need to distract my thoughts
I love Tones and I she has made a huge impact on my life I actually live in Byron Bay so it’s amazing to hear her story behind everything and I’ve always loved tones and I and her story makes all those feelings inspired by what she has accomplished in life. She never gave up even when it was challenging and I love new can be tough and challenging but new can be amazing and new experience and that she loves to share those things with us really helps all that we’re in a position like her and like basically saying is never go against new but go with new and life will hold your future and you just need to believe in your dreams and that’s all that matters and when I’m feeling down or having a really tough day, I listen to her songs and her story because it makes me know there’s someone who wants to listen and if you don’t know and tones and I she is a woman of courage and trust me, she is the most beautiful person you can meet. 0
@@pinkbeatle2012 No we all have a opinions and I have mine SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND YOU CAN JUST BACK OFF BECAUSE IT'S MY OPINION NOT URS Soo ya LEAVE ME AND MY OPINIONS AND HER VOICE ALONE~
Topper,record. Breaker. She's good?? She's brill .A Star . Athing? That shines in the sky writes lyrics and self taught player. Girl is a heart and traffic stopper❤❤
Realmente esta chica tiene mucho para dar....su voz, su estilo simplemente me encantan...me pone de buen humor....por favor cuidenla... No la super exploten.... Como acostumbran a hacer las compañías disqueras....
It is a chart topper in a sea of crappy artists. Unfortunately anyone w access to social media now can be a star. Like island boys and tekashi69. But she’s different. She’s actually good.
@albertdavila6808 regardless of taste, is a talented artist and has a lot more skill than most. You don't have to like her music to respect all that she can do. And no I'm not a fan, I'm not into her style of singing (her voice is a great display of talent and skill, although not for me, and apparently you). I hate using the term hater but in some cases it can't be argued, a pseron is either clueless or hating.
The song may have been inspired from a really tough night as a street performer but the social ramifications in this song are so deep! At 55 years old I don't know anybody who has not been, or will not be somebody's dance monkey. Sadly there's way too many people in the world who want to control us and they are very very good at getting us to comply
Oh my God this girl's voice is wonderful keep going honey you're doing awesome and you're so natural and not phony I love that about you people will love you forever
I knew the song had a deep sad meaning behind....how ironic to have that song explode and have have to play it constantly... Like a Beautiful Lament....
Did anyone noticed how she says same word by 3× lined up on interview like in the song check it out. @0:32 And people wanting 3× 1.more and 2.more and 3.more from me. @0:58 And i started practicing 3× 1.every day, 2.every day, 3.every day. @1:22 So he was with me from the 3× 1.very, 2.very, 3.very start. LOL.
This story has it all, eh. Her coming from nowhere, busking&selling CDs on the street like tens of thousands of other artists around the world do.the manager spotting her from the very beginning and strongly encouraging her and giving her a hand way before she started making profits. And in the end it works out beyond perfect, she is literally on top of the industry. After fame and profits she still recognizes the work and help that the manager put into it. Well, it's just a shame it's so rare
This is my example of you dont have to compete in todays singing contest because most of the time to contest is rigged. If you truly believe in yourself and you really have the talent do let let the greedy judges say if you will maje it or not (you cant please all the people) but let the people appreciate you thru time.
Song is amazing. Did she say anything about why it sounds like a monkey is singing it? (I mean in a good way). I think it really adds to the song if even if it wasn't intentional.
But she didn’t reference the actual monkeys back in the day that had to dance so their owner could get some money. Thats where the term came from. The organ grinder and the monkey
Im Italian American and I just wanna say anglophone countries is where you want to live if you want to succeed or to live in the present … Italy and many countries in Europe are DEAD and they are living in the past. Italy Spain Greece Portugal good countries to live when you want to retire. Only France and Germany are the non anglophone country that follows Uk Us Australia Canada Ireland etc
It's sad because those behind the scenes players like Simon and record companies got 95% of her earnings and that is why new artists like" walk of the earth " ( billions of views) signed on their terms! That young lady got robbed blind like backstreet boys, n'sync, avril lavigne... i could go all day with names that got robbed...
Is there a story behind why she changed the song from dance monkey to dance for me? I think it was a brilliant move because in today's society dance monkey could have negative connotations. . As strange as this sounds, now it seems more appropriate for an over the top video to be made to it.
This reminds me of the Johnny Depp story, if that guy had not found her at that right time, she’d be singing dance monkey in the streets still. All success comes from God’s handpicked grace.
Kudos to that manager who recognized her talent and provided the help he could. Amazing!
Talent?
NO ONE BEATS "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT"
Artists like this should be the backbone of the music industry. They bust their ass then get noticed for their efforts and hard work...not hey you're pretty, let's autotune you and give you a record deal and a grammy
Making is making it, it does not matter how. If we all could find the easy way, we would go for it.
She’s right. I remember hearing in the new music segment of The Heidi & Frank Show and I instantly loved it. It was so good they played it twice back to back.
This song came out shortly before my cat (named monkey) died, and whenever we would hear it after his death, we would always take it as a sign
Cat ppl ruin everything
Her voice brings tears to my eyes when she sings and hits those notes soulful
@@Tune_Sky sauce?
You need to expand your musical taste. She sucks
@@Tune_Sky
You're wrong. Listen to her life performances. It's her real voice.
Liste to her live performance on the Ellsn show, on the tonight show with Jimmy Fallon or on Australia,'s new year's eve. No computer generation it's her natural voice.
Her voice brings me to tears as well and hurts my ears as well!
I love a unique voice. She is fantastic!
I love this song and your voice! I was bored the other night at the club, picked up my phone and held it to my ear to hear this song.....ah what a relief! Great pick me up! Thanks!
A person with a beautiful face and voice!!
You are using “beautiful” as a euphemism, right?
It's amazing how she became so famous she used to be homeless.
I was homeless once to it was horrible.

yea...but it's different when it's a choice versus not being a choice...she chose that path. I don't feel bad.
@@asutcliffe25 bro spoke as if he wrote her biography 🤡
Bro stfu, you dont know a damn thing about her life
I’m not even a huge fan, but this is how real musicians are made. Fighting against the world to push their art out Amazing and inspired.

Hey this finally soaked down to me here in the roots of the dirt, 3 magic years later probably more.
Bruh I got goosebumps at this story man
She’s is absolutely AWESOME big heart 🙏❤🇦🇺
This is one of the most exceptional people alive today. I think that's inarguable.
Humble young lady!
Wow just discovered this artist
Stand up god bless❤💕
she mastered a song flawlessly
the manager is the real m.v.p
I buried my great grandad t this...didn't go down as well as I imagined...they don't talk to me
I wouldn’t expect them to… anyone deserves better than this noise!
👏 🎶 ❤
Amazing
Wow.
Brilliant singer ❤
Love her she’s true❤❤❤❤❤❤
So happy for her ❤️🏆
Well deserved. And well earned.
Great story, excuse the dumb question, but what is busking ? 😁
In case you haven't found out yet, being a busker and busking is being a street performer.
@@darleneredden3251
Thank you. I had no idea. This term isn't used in Canada where I live, at least not to the best of my knowledge 😄.
Thanks 👍🍻
@@googlreviews7813 it isn't used in the US either. I had to look it up
What does "busking" mean?
I never knew she was Australian. Growing up in Brisbane I am ashamed that I didn't know this.
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, & HUMBLE.
Weird how 130 odd comments and 100,000 plus views ???
What does busk mean?
To play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money.
This is my example of you dont have to compete in todays singing contest because most of the time to contest is rigged. If you truly believe in yourself and you really have the talent do let let the greedy judges say if you will maje it or not (you cant please all the people) but let the people appreciate you thru time.
Song is amazing.
Did she say anything about why it sounds like a monkey is singing it? (I mean in a good way).
I think it really adds to the song if even if it wasn't intentional.
Who is the girl behind her?
the chick from The Ring in the background freaked me out.
It’s an amazing story but it’s not unlike any before. Every artist starts with nothing. You aren’t born a star. A star is born. From a regular person.
And the best part… drum roll please….. NO AUTO TUNES NEEDED!
But she didn’t reference the actual monkeys back in the day that had to dance so their owner could get some money. Thats where the term came from. The organ grinder and the monkey
Let her alone! How many rude people messing with her appearance in coment section, let her alone

Her real name is Toni Watson.
Is there a story behind why she changed the song from dance monkey to dance for me? I think it was a brilliant move because in today's society dance monkey could have negative connotations.
.
As strange as this sounds, now it seems more appropriate for an over the top video to be made to it.
I think it heard Annie jones sing it before this lady 😂
This reminds me of the Johnny Depp story, if that guy had not found her at that right time, she’d be singing dance monkey in the streets still. All success comes from God’s handpicked grace.
Cute girl from the land down under
It's ironic that the song led to exactly what the song was about.
please dont quit preforming
Yes, but I wonder if he also 'loaded the dishwasher'?
Is she aussie or did she move to Australia?
You really don't need to be a "one hit artist". I think you can more than that; meaning several hits shouldn't be impossible at all fore you!
Show some RESPECT!!! on Tones name!!!
Byron Dream
Plz what name ledy...
Cmon... byron bay isnt mainly known for its buskers, but for another hobby.
Weed capitol of Australia baby
I gotta be honest here....This is NOT what i thought this song was about....I thought it was about a stripper...lol
Wats busking mean?
Basically, singing or playing music on the street for money.
we always see this strugling people on the street singing and there is a place to put your money
