ikr, idk why some people think it's weird, actually i would do the same if i was a singer, she feels her music, way better than some artists who doesn't even look like they are singing their own songs.
I used to think the same. But actually no its not about guts. Its more about not being over conscious. Its more about not giving a fuck about what people say. Its about enjoying yourself freely. I am kinda an awkward or weird person in real life. And I am also a kinda good singer. There was a time when I used to get nervous about a simple performance where didnt even had to move. I needed guts back then. with time i learned not give a fuck about what people think. Recently I performed in my college. and i just went for it. without thinking what people would say. and i danced and moved my body whichever way i felt like. and it wasnt normal looking. but i enjoyed it. and people loved it too. people thought i have some guts to be able to do that. but i didnt needed any.
Crowd might've been told to stay quieter for the recording. Some shows will do that, in certain MTV performances the crowd was asked to stay quiet and now I realize the crowd was probably enjoying it, although quietly.
@@dram4tico She does a little "ch" into the mic. In a performance like this that is mastered for TV if there were laughing it would be edited out. The sound falls in sync with the drums.
I think how she dances is one of the coolest and most UNIQUE styles I've ever seen. There's one thing you can bank on.... She DEFINITELY didn't steal anyone's dance moves. You can clearly see that she legs the music just physically run through her. She is so talented and underrated, it's pathetic.
She literally feels ALL of the music. You can tell she isn't just listening to her voice but all the different notes and everything as a whole. Her dance moves reflect that and I think she is amazing!
Pathetic is not the right word - its aggressive I would say she was underrated when this comment was left because not enough people knew about her (me) - and thats it, but calling it pathetic is to make out you have some sort of suporitiory... the hipster days are long gone.
I can’t imagine a crowd watching Lorde perform this song without being there specifically to see Lorde. It’s not like a song you hear for the first time and dance and have fun to, but it’s really a great song and one of my favorite Lorde songs and I love when it builds up to the end of the song. Also can’t imagine they like Lorde’s dancing but she’s just getting into the music and expressing herself and doing her thing and I respect that.
I so understand her dancing because when you're listening to this song the music takes over and it's all you're focused on and you just want to dance around and fling your arms around and dance to the beat of the music. This song is not a song you can just jump around to or grind to haha. It's so much more complicated yet so simple and I really feel like her dancing reflects that.
i love her so much, she grew up so much. you can tell that back then she was a bit shy and kind of experimenting with her dancing during live performances but the way she dances at her shows now is so amazing, she just lets go and has so much fun with it. screw the people that made fun of her just for feeling the music.
This presentation of Lorde singing Ribs reminds me of the control, passion and performance that Freddie Mercury had in his live presentations. He always got lost in the melodies and he feels the music, the same thing as Lorde 🌟
I remember hearing Royals for the first time in my dorm room when I was in college. it was a unique tune and her name intrigues me so I went to near computer shop and searched for her and this "Live On Letterman" performances was the first I saw of her sing. the way she sings, move, mannerism on stage, clothes, music style, and her dark looks is very unique. it was the first time I saw somebody like her. surreal moment.
I think it's great she dances to what she feels and how can that be wrong? Yes I grew up in the sixties and seventies when there was a lot of chorographied music, Temptation, Four Tops, Spinners etc.., and that was great too. In my humble opinion dancing, no matter what style is great and if it is danced to great music it's even better.
Lorde is so different than the others singers, for that reason she is one of the best artist, I love her because she doesn’t follow the rules, she dances “weird”, but COME ON!, everyone should dance like her, it’s amazing see her. I mean, when I listen to Pure Heroine, or Melodrama, I feel alive and makes me dance like a crazy around my house tbh.
I’m so sorry the crowd was so dead her music is magical and she was lost in her performance and music as she should be I would’ve been dancing with her and living like she is
It makes me wonder what extremely plain and boring music people must listen to in order to have what it takes in them to call this weird. Like seriously listen to one performance of artists like Grimes or SOPHIE and then tell me that you think that lorde is really weird. I mean honestly, if lorde was as weird as pop got, then we might as well take out the other two-thirds of the genre that isn't played in the top 100!
I love how music and its emotions take all the control of her body. I feel like that when i listen to lorde, my body feels the need of moving like that and i let it go
So much emotion. Perfect song for a cathartic release, as a listener. She is full of magic and her eyes sparkle, for I can truly "see" her world and feel it as though I am the experiencer. It targets the same emotions for me that must have triggered her to write this song in the first place. Consistent reels of nostalgic scenes overlay my memory, and I am still having difficulty being this expected "adult" and still just as scared as when I turned 18. Time has let 16 years flee from me, and yet, somehow I still feel I am a child. We never do lose our "inner child," so we must heal that aspect of ourselves that hold us back and integrate it into this current human experience with as much love as you can possibly emit. Our minds will never stop playing these reels of nostalgia, but we can certainly adjust the frequency (emotion) that produces it.
I love her so much. She’s the greatest artist of our generation. I love that she doesn’t care that people don’t like her dancing, her true fans appreciate her and know it’s because she’s THAT connected to her music ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She loses herself in her music, which is very beautiful. Theres so many close minded people around.
Dude that’s borderline being possessed and an orgasm.
Tyler Ewan okay and? so what if it is. move along.
@@skinnyslims5327 i guess you never lose your brains to music in you room alone. it’s just that she dances like she’s alone but there’s crowd
@@radovankazic7295 exactly
ikr, idk why some people think it's weird, actually i would do the same if i was a singer, she feels her music, way better than some artists who doesn't even look like they are singing their own songs.
For her to be that open and expressive like she normally is, but in front of a dull judgmental crowd takes guts.... love you Lorde

Dude it’s because they isolate sound 🤦🏼♂️
Huh they were singing along to it
I dont think it matters since she is in a sort of trance while performing
That crows is so dead. the only person dancing is Lorde. I promise you I'd be dancing in that crowd
Janice Walker its probably instructed to them by producers to be still and quiet
Janice Walker dancing in this world alone
Billie elish (kuch kuch)
Cactus who doesnt know God (Lorde), prays any saint ( Billie) . sorry i had to say xd
And I'd be dancing like her
The meaning behind this song really hits home...the nostalgic feeling is just something that I can't match with any other song
I agree this song always makes me cry
I heard people laughing at one part like sorry you cant handle her awesome dancing and amazing vocals. I hate people. Lorde is a queen.
No they weren't.
@@MattyGHerring Pay attention at 2:33
@@dram4tico that's part of the song.
@@MattyGHerring Gosh, clean up your ears
@@dram4tico She does a little "ch" into the mic. In a performance like this that is mastered for TV if there were laughing it would be edited out. The sound falls in sync with the drums.
She becomes one with her music, Thats how I see it.
As it should beeee
That is.true
I see she is Just too much high
She still dances better then me
Dominique Clark , Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, I say this is "So You Think You Can Dance's" next season
she?..you mean Stan Marsh?
Me too hahah
@@studmalexy you mean Randy Marsh?
She can't be a bad dancer here, cause she's not dancing, she vibes into the rhythm. And this is totally different.
one thing you can say about her is that she definitly gives herself to the music .
I love how she's dancing like she's alone home listening to her favourite song
I want the mind i had as a child back. before everything.
I think how she dances is one of the coolest and most UNIQUE styles I've ever seen. There's one thing you can bank on.... She DEFINITELY didn't steal anyone's dance moves. You can clearly see that she legs the music just physically run through her. She is so talented and underrated, it's pathetic.
She let's her body move to what she feels
She literally feels ALL of the music. You can tell she isn't just listening to her voice but all the different notes and everything as a whole. Her dance moves reflect that and I think she is amazing!

Agreed
Dead ass crowd. I would’ve been screaming, crying , throwing up etc
Before Billie there was Lorde ❤️
There is still Lorde.
And before Lorde there was lana
Kris Jong-Un and before lana there was björk
@@user-tg8it7sn7d lana is lana, lorde is lorde.
LORDE IS STILL HERE
Come on let's be honest we all dance like crazy in our rooms while listening to music but Ig she is just brave enough to show it
favorite song of hers

These old performances belong in a museum
After the Grammy's I spent a lot of time listening to Daft Punk, Macklemore/Ryan Luise an Lorde and Lorde is the only one I didn't get tied of
Thank you letterman thank you Lorde thank you CBS

I can relate a lot of
The crowd is sooooo boring
Captivated Lunt laid-back crowd
Captivated Lunt I know I'd be jumping around like a maniac
Its filled with teenage girls who doesnt want to be judged, ofcourse itd be boring
@@NieR-002 its for a tv channel, they're instructed to stay quiet
Yeah, when the camera panned out to the audience, it reminded me of the near-catatonic state of the audience in the “Car Radio” music video
I remember by teen self would always watch this video. Missing that.
You and me both 😢
I’m turned 16 20 days ago I’ve been rewatching this since I was 14 it’s been my favorite song
pure heroine is a master freaking piece to this day
I think it's great she dances to what she feels and how can that be wrong? Yes I grew up in the sixties and seventies when there was a lot of chorographied music, Temptation, Four Tops, Spinners etc.., and that was great too. In my humble opinion dancing, no matter what style is great and if it is danced to great music it's even better.
I freaking love her voice. Love her dancing. Love her singing. Love everything about her. I LOVE HER
This performance is so PERFECT. Omg, I love how Lorde dances, she gives me energy to dance too.
I hope see one of her perfomance some day.
omg I watched her video of her live performance there! It was so great! Did you manage to go?
Jack Noo, I didn’t, I’m from México
If her hair was red, she’d remind me of Merida from Brave.
Yeees
Omg that's so true and makes sense

The way she feels the music... she puts so much emotion into everything. I'm in love.
One of the best performances I've ever seen! And the lyrics...❤
DAMN THAT VOICE
I’m so sorry the crowd was so dead her music is magical and she was lost in her performance and music as she should be I would’ve been dancing with her and living like she is
Lorde is art
I get everything she does. She feels the music and it's like she's touching all the sounds she's hearing. I do this, too!
her dancing is just, ugh words cant describe it, iconic doesnt even come close. her freedom.
Então é essa a música que não para de ser reproduzida pelo vizinho ao lado😮❤
The people with their arms crossed... If I was watching Lorde live my arms would be all over the place!
I love her so much LORDEEEEEEEE😭🙏🏻👑

She was 17 here holy moly she's too much
