Lordes energy is something I adore.

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.

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.

I was working on the Brits in 2016 and was standing just right of the stage for this performance. I'm a huge Bowie fan and wasn't sure if Lorde was the right choice but boy was I wrong she was brilliant!

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.

Bought my first Bowie single when I was 10, I'm now 58. I loved him then, I love him now. His music took me through every stage of my life. I was lucky enough to see him live three times and there is nothing to compare to being in the same space as this extraordinary man. The band's medley was fantastic and the vocal was very touching 💜

5 years today since we've lost him... 💔💔💔💔

See it. This is a respectful tribute to a genius. Not that childish joke they did at the grammys.

I remember discussing David Bowie’s passing with my brother, also David, he died too, suddenly on 30th January same year. He too loved David Bowie, it was a really bad year, to lose both in the same month my brother was 67

I could tell that this performance was important to her, because she fought to keep her emotions in check during the performance and sang them through her heart instead. She choked back her tears at the end; clearly she loved Bowie very much and I choked back some tears of my own to see that love pouring out of her.

After those tremendously sincere speech, Lorde must have felt so much pressure. Look how she was relieved when music was over. If it were me, I would have had a panic attack, peed in my pants and fainted.

Lady Gaga and Lord were an amazing performers. They did a special tribute that make us remember the amazing artist David Bowie was. It's not a competition. They both were very special. R.I.P David Bowie

Bowie turned in his grave as soon as he learned that Gaga had made a tribute, she's a cunt. Cheers from the UK.

All these years later this tribute still holds up. Has it really been that long? The Starman did come to meet us... and he did blow our minds...

Man!! Just now I realized. Gary was Bowie's friend. Bowie didn't want come back to acting but then ... he accepted The Prestige. Gary surely helped Christopher Nolan to get David Bowie for The Prestige.

THIS is how a Bowie tribute is done. It wasn't a Las Vegas show. It wasn't about anyone on that stage. The spotlight was only about Bowie, about the man and his music. This tribute was humble, modest, poignant, and simple, hosted by the people that David knew, worked with, loved, and admired. The BRITs did everything right with this. It was perfect.

Who else watching this in 2019 while crying because yo miss him???

Gary Oldman is such a genuine spirit.

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.

The Brits got it just right and under an enormous amount of pressure Lorde and Bowie's wonderful band did the great man proud.

Lorde is the future of music.

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.

lorde is already highly respected in the industry.

Well done Brits. That's how its done. Love to Catherine, Mike, Gail, Gerry, Earl and Sterling. You guys where Bowie's best band. May your memories stay fresh.
