    Imagine being 19 and paying tribute to David Bowie - a towering music icon - and singing one of his signature songs in front of his fellow Brits. The immense pressure Lorde must have been under to deliver a memorable performance. And boy did she deliver with such class and style. No gimmicks. No over-the-top props.
    Someone said that she has the ocean in her eyes, and a hurricane in her heart. Add to this nerves of pure steel.

    Being "able to sing" isn't just about belting out high notes and screaming. It's about expressing the voice you have in such a way that it has an affect on the audience, which is something Lorde succeeds in here. Her voice wasn't made to belt, but she has terrific low and mid range. I also love how she, at 19, is the one doing this tribute. Almost like passing on the torch (fyi Bowie already called her the future of music so...what else is there to say). Wonderful performance.

According to these people, singing is only that. What a pity =/ You're spot-on Mr. Dante. Lorde sang it with such emotion that even Duncan praised her performance. And I also agree, it is beautiful.

    I was lucky to have accidentally met David Bowie in philly when I was a teen. Riding my skateboard in philly came around a corner and stopped at small group of people out front of a hotel. I said, holy shit, you're David Bowie! He said to me, and I'll never forget: "You've sussed me copper"... and he got in the limo. I didn't understand what he meant by that for quite a while and didn't get the joke at the time. Never been star struck since, I mean, who beats out meeting Bowie?

    A shoutout to the band, which was actually Bowie's final touring band. They were part of the Reality tour back in 2003/2004, which was cut short due to Bowie's health and was never resumed. They are Gail Ann Dorsey (bass), Sterling Campbell (drums), Mike Garson (piano), Catherine Russell (keyboards and percussion), Earl Slick and Gerry Leonard (guitars).

    I think it's very fitting that Lorde chose Life On Mars, because I think she kind of symbolizes the girl Bowie is talking about in the song. A girl with a lonely, detached homelife goes to the movies by herself because her friend didnt show, and uses the silver screen to escape reality, which in Lorde's case would be a microphone obviously. I dunno, to me her performance was great and pretty much encapsilated the feeling and emotion of the song better than anyone I've seen.

    There is one reason why Lorde took part, and that is because Bowie loved her, and saw her as the future for music, that is why his family wanted her to sing at The Brits. That is all that matters about why she did it. His family, (especially his son) hated Gaga's tribute, and they had nothing to do with it.

    Thank you Lorde for bringing the spirit of Bowie through rather than promoting yourself like some artists.

    The great thing about Lorde is that she’s perfectly imperfect. This is the best Bowie tribute out there... David would be proud.

    I'm so grateful I had the great honor to see David Bowie live three times. I will always love him.

    I took his existence for granted. I feel like a fool, why didn't I care when he lived? Now I'm happy that my loved ones are still alive, I will never take anyones existence for granted.

      Julian McCartney most honest comment here. And i think many of us felt that way in most of Bowie's career, although the rest are too afraid to say it. Thats what happens when someone so unique and loving dies, friends and people are too afraid to realize they couldve loved him more.

      He was a Giant. Right up there with Elvis, sinatra, michael Jackson ect. His contribution to the world of art is massive. And he was also the sexiest man who ever lived.
      World will never forget David bowie.

    I once visited an art store in San Francisco where the owner mentioned David Bowie was just in the store…..he was taken back by what a wonderful personality David had while he talked with him in his store. It’s one thing to be a very talented musician, but it’s a whole other thing that someone with such incredible talent and fame is so down to earth and friendly with others.

      well, with the possible exception of Mick Ronson, who was jammin' good with Weird and David with this program aired.
      This part, especially the musical part starting around 8:40 was extremely brilliant and well done.

    His laughter (not just), his cackling laughter of joy was exuberant!
    His work accompanied my life and I’m better for it.
    He made the undeniable more understanding.
    I miss him or waiting for more music/sound/presence of this soul!
    I miss him today
