Bassey, Shirley - Somehow Lyrics

Quite simply, THE GREATEST!

I can’t get enough of her powerful gorgeous vocals. The best ever female artist!

Wonderful

It is not just the magnificence of the power of her voice that sets her apart; it is the subtle way she uses her voice to build up to that amazing end. She just pulls you in and compels you to listen to her delivery. WOW!

SOMEHOW..YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Dame Shirley Bassey keeps her sexy status but at least she retains her class. I mean, no offense to today's pop stars like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Hailee Steinfeld, Katy Perry, Camila Cabello, Demi Lovato, Fifth Harmony and Little Mix but Dame Shirley keep her classy status while being sexy at the same time. All of those aforementioned pop stars of today need to take notes.

I work at one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the North of England..in fact possibly THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS ....and I'm gonna make sure all the students see this woman in action!!!...Musical Theatre....she could have sung Elaine Paige et al. off the stage...being given the chance......and no mistake...Shirley..Callas..the same mould in my book!!!...Argue with me if you like but I can see Maria singing this and Shirley singing Tosca!!!!...........ha ha ha ha xx

Alan: It's interesting that you mentioned the great Maria Callas in your comment. When Shirley was just starting out her mentors gave her the choice to either pursue the industry as a classical artist OR go into POP/Jazz music. Of course it's history that Shirley selected the latter as it was easier for her to make her mark in the music industry due to her natural talents alone. Another great Classical Soprano, Jessye Norman once met Shirley after seeing one of her shows and she asked her, 'How She Does it?' Shirley didn't know what she meant, so Jessye told her that she can sing one song right after the other singing full out, and most classical artists have to rest between numbers. Shirley was so appreciative of such a compliment coming from one of the greats! I know classical female artists have to rest between songs as I attended a Kiri Te Kanawa concert, and didn't understand what was going on until someone told me. And, neither did many other people in the audience, I'm afraid, as the concert wasn't in a classical artist setting.

she never fails to deliver a 10

publisher (angel) .... you bring me into myself each time i hear her..... her best ever performance... her moment................. thank you so much for the chance to see and listen to her at her ultimate moments..... so much ....thank you.............xxxx

my favorite song of hers of all time

To all the two penith upcoming Female Singers of today ?
This is how it is done. Literally

auto tuned no,one sings anymore THANK YOU SHIRLEY X thanks shaun

why has this concert not been put on a DVD?

adele got nothing on this, no one does..

Adele is very popular around the world now, and I like her a lot.  But, vocally Shirley is hard to beat when compared any other singer, past or present.   Her vocals a fluid, as she moves up and down the scales with ease, and changing full octaves as the song requires.    Many who really haven't take a good listen to many of Shirley's recordings tend to think of her as the belter.   For a song like this, they are right, but it's because a song like this needs a Shirley Bassey.   But, when the song calls for it, Shirley can also sing a mellow song as good if not better than anyone else.

for my inspiration, I listen to this..

Adele, you are good but this is great.

the best there ever was, maybe next to garland..

Yeh jay (ol man river )one of my fav,s

Possibly the GREATEST female singer of all time.....and I'm a Callas , Sutherland., Caballe, Nilsson devotee.....................Shirley...darling...you've always done it for me!!...xx

The greatest singer of all times!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the best ''LIVE'' performer of all time...

With out a doubt!!!!

without a doubt

She must of been at the height of her career just fantastic

She began in the mid-50s so she was already almost two decades into her career and established as a legend.

What a tantrum, lol soo powerful love it

  

Yeppa...! Shirley <3 love you so much.

This is how's its done :) I want to sing like her with power and emotional conviction

This is how's its done :) I want to sing like her with power and emotional conviction

i saw an sb impersonator on here earlier, not a patch on  the real thing

i have never heard this song before

Off the album never never never

 
so Im 53 next week. My brother took me and my famiy to see SB at the Colston hall in Bristol in about 1973 ,. She wore that dress on here now. it was the most exciting thing I had ever done.We were to the left of the stage I could probably have touched her. It was  so loud. I thought I was 14 but I must have been younger. Of course I turned out gay. Not a big surprise to me or to you I shouldnt imagine.  I went to  Carnagie hall a few weeks a go to see Patti Lupone, not SB but it was a thrill. Years later my bf Alex was a friend of SB's pa Andrew Magowan so I went to SB's place in London where they keep her  dresses etc. That was a thrill too. Anyway she is quite a star I think and has entertained me for 40 years. So good luck to her. Hope she does a final retirement gig

por lejos, la mejor!!!

...and THAT is live !

she always gives 100% and more

Powerful for sure. What talent, what a voice.

Don't doubt you're a massive fan and best regards, but still think the 'where' note, her choice, fit better here but each to his own. All the best.

Should have been 'Somehow' in the end.

Too open of a vowel for this kind of note, she knew she wouldn't nail it so she changed it like a real pro!

Fits note wise; that is what she was thinking no doubt,; singers can choose where to go:who are you to question her?

Wow! Just a stunningly beautiful woman singing a wonderful song in an absolutely powerful and incredible fashion. Bravo!

shiverrssss when i listen this voice

and what is more remarkable is those days her concerts were a little shorter but she gave 2 performances a night... I was there that night

Happy Birthday Dame Shirley! I join all of your world wide fans to wish you a wonderful Birthday, and a most prosperous 2013. Your Diamond Anniversary in Show Business (60) years, is truely an amazing feat for any artist! We all are impatiently awaiting for you to record your next CD....hope hope hope, and maybe you will decide to tour the world to celebrate with all your fans...Regards, Scot

Que grande emoção ao ouvir SB. !!!!
Sensibilidade,voz mágica com energia de uma grande mulher!!!!

oh dear god....

she is too TOO sexy

My favorite of all time Ever!

Thank you for posting this live version of one of the tracks from Dame Shirley's perfect 1973 LP, "Never Never Never," and there are not enough accolades or flowers for her performance, or that dress! Who could quibble over the words for such an artist! Happy Mardi Gras!! ***DAVE♫♫♫♫DJ***

Genius!!!!!!!! Tu como siempre dando felicidad a los fans de esta gran señora. Te juro que de solo escucharla se me eriza la piel. Gracias por este bello video

@toucheturtle300 -Thks touch! I live just 20 minutes from BH, but what a difference 20 minutes makes! haha, Regards, Scot

I agree with you touchturtle300, there is no comparison between Dame Shirley and Susan Boyle! Miss Boyle doesn't have the stage presence & sex appeal that Dame Shirley has!

@toucheturtle300

age she seems that she already belonged on the stage and she didn't seem like a rookie like Susan Boyle does. Susan does her live performance and messes up on her notes and I believe that if she didn't come out of the woodwork the way she did and actually trained more and sung at many clubs and events then she would look more professional and experienced. There's a BIG difference between yesterday's singers versus today.

@toucheturtle300

I much prefer her using "somewhere" at the end of the song rather than "somehow". But I do agree about today's singers that are coming out of the woodwork. The music industry today is all about marketing and less about skills, passion, devotion, and great care and attention to the craft and art of singing. Shirley Bassey is NO comparison to Susan Boyle! Shirley has more prescence on stage and seems so full of passion and experience on the stage, even when she was at a young
