You haven't heard 'Hey Jude' until you've seen Dame Shirley sing it live.
In fact, just as an act of pure kindness from my heart to yours, I'll allow you people a brief glimpse into my world.
But be warned - this following video is of the highest quality camp and glamour.
If any of you (especially the men) start to show any signs of things that you are not used to, like glittering fabulousness or sparkling wit, stop watching immediately and go and do something heterosexual.
Watch some football or look under the bonnet of a car. That should bring you back to your sense of normality.
I love sparkley and women dressed for weddings in beautiful outfits and big girly hats and who have actually looked at the mirror before going out and I hate football so am I a poof.
Why watch a second rate singer sing one of the best songs ever written?
I've had to re-respond to this.
Most 73 years olds are lucky if they can control their bladder. This 'second rate singer' manages not only to control her voice better than singers more than half her age but still tops the bill at occasions like The Royal Variety Performance and Glastonbury.
If this is 'second rate' to you Bravo then it really is no wonder you like shit like Pink Floyd.
Barbara Streisand is just a jumped up karaoke singer
Well actually, I would have to agree.
I paid over £200 to see her last concert and I was fairly close to the stage, and there were about half a dozen screens all around the edge of the stage with the words to every song on them.
You'd think after all these years she could remember the words to her own songs - I can.
Dame Shirley... God bless her ....you just can't beat a bit of spangle!!
not my kind of thing at all ..... but you can't knock her ...she puts on a show!!! _________________ i'm not afraid of dying...it's living that scares me!!!!
I tell you what Laura, I've seen Dame Shirley 8 times now up and down the country.
On several of those occasions I've taken with me people who aren't her fans and every single one of them left as a fan.
I suppose it's true of many performers but you really haven't seen Shirley Bassey until you see her live, the way the audience reacts to her is pure magic.
Actually the same can be said about Liza Minnelli as well. I saw her at The Royal Albert Hall once and she really knows how to hold an audience.
Bravo - I hope so too. I was so gutted (no pun intended) when I couldn't go. I last saw Madonna in the early 90's on her 'Blonde Ambition' tour and was blown away. Another one whose live show is much much better than a recorded track.
