00:02:39Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got you.
00:02:42If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you.
00:02:45Who told me you're a love to rain on my parade.
00:02:49I'll march my band out.
00:02:53I'll beat my drum target.
00:02:56And if I stand out, you're turning back, sir.
00:03:02At least I didn't fake it.
00:03:03Back to sir, I guess I didn't make it.

00:07:05With me
00:07:06Tonight is the one and only night
00:07:09That we are filming this performance
00:07:15And I couldn't have imagined
00:07:17The more iconic, magical stage
00:07:20To capture this moment
00:07:22So, London
00:07:24Are you ready for your close-up?
00:07:31Now, I have been so blessed
00:07:34To have had so many dreams
00:07:37Come true
00:07:38These past few years
00:07:39But I tell you
00:07:42I don't know if I dreamed this big
00:07:46Yeah
00:07:46Yeah, I did
00:07:48I did
00:07:49You know how many times
00:07:50I've driven past this place
00:07:52And I've said
00:07:53One day

00:07:57I'm going to perform
00:07:58At the Royal Albert Hall
00:08:05And now here we are

00:11:05Because
00:11:08Because you're mine
00:11:14Oh
00:11:31Thank you
00:11:49I want you to know that this little girl, this little Hawaiian, Filipina, Ukrainian, Spanish,
00:12:07Chinese, Polish, and Irish. That's right, 23andMe said I was 2% Irish, you all, and that counts.
00:12:19Has come a long, long way. I also have some English in me. His name is Tom. We'll talk about
00:12:29him later.
00:12:35Right now, I want to talk about you guys. I've been so inspired by so many beautiful divas to come
00:12:47out of the UK.
00:12:48Everyone from Sade to Amy Winehouse to Cynthia Erivo, who recently proclaimed me as Broadway's newest queen.
00:13:03Her words, not mine. Just saying. But I want to go back a little further to an artist who has
00:13:15shifted my perspective and how a song can really be sung.
00:13:22And that is the uncomparable, incomparable, Miss Dame Shirley Bassey.
00:13:35Now, I can't believe that I am sharing the same stage as her, where she stood 45 times.
00:13:43Okay, that's a lot. I've been here twice.
00:13:47Three times, if you're counting, when I accepted my Olivier Award.
00:13:54But who's counting?
00:13:58Anyways, Shirley is in the house tonight, everyone.
00:14:04I don't know if Shirley Bassey's in the house, but there's got to be someone named Shirley out there.
00:14:10Is there a Shirley out there?
00:14:12Wherever you are, Shirley, this one's for you.
00:14:24Diamonds are forever.
00:14:28They are all I need to please me.
00:14:33They can stimulate and tease me.
00:14:37They won't leave in the night.
00:14:40I've no fear that they might desert me.
00:14:47Diamonds are forever.
00:14:51Hold one up and then caress it.
00:14:55Touch it, stroke it and undress it.
00:14:59I can see.
00:15:02I can see every part.
00:15:03Nothing hides in their heart to hurt me.
00:15:08I don't need love.
00:15:13What good would love to me?
00:15:17Come and start the light to me.
00:15:20Oh, when love's gone, they're all lost around.
00:15:32Diamonds are forever, forever.
00:15:36Sparkling round my little finger.
00:15:40Unlike men, the diamonds linger.
00:15:45reigns are forever, forever.
00:15:47Who knows, forever.
00:15:50Like they're forever, forever.
00:15:53When love's gone, they're all lost around.
00:15:54I don't need love.
00:15:58I can see.
00:15:59How long will love to me?
00:16:02I can see.
00:16:03How long will love to me?
00:16:06If love's gone, they're all lost around.
00:16:16Dines of the river, forever, forever
00:16:21Dines of the river, forever, forever
00:16:25Forever and never
00:16:32And never
00:16:55Little bit of liquid courage.
00:16:57There's vodka in here. I'm kidding.
00:17:03What a beautiful evening this is.
00:17:08The Royal Aberdeen Hall, you look glorious.
00:17:11And I just want to say, I'm so grateful to be here right now.
00:17:17I just want to thank God for bringing us all here together tonight.
00:17:24I also would like to take this moment to thank the people that got me here.
00:17:29First of all, my mother.
00:17:32She's my everything. I wouldn't be here without her.
00:17:39I want to thank all my family and my teachers and my friends and so many of my friends and
00:17:45family are in the audience tonight.
00:17:47I love you.
00:17:56I love you too. Thank you.
00:18:02Most of all, I want to thank all of you.
00:18:08UK and all my fans from around the world that are here tonight.
00:18:12We've been rocking together for...
00:18:17Over 20 years now.
00:18:19Over 20 years now.
00:18:19And I actually feel like I'm an adopted Brit, okay?
00:18:22I love a cuppa.
00:18:24I love a sundae roast.
00:18:26And I love a cheeky Nando's.
00:18:30Throw that in with some banoffee pie, a Percy Pig.
00:18:35And we're on a Jet 2 holiday.
00:18:42No, but seriously, I want to thank you.
00:18:47Everyone out there tonight for your love and support throughout all the years.
00:18:55And for always lifting me up, especially when I needed it.
00:19:00No one does it alone.
00:19:03And no one gets to the Royal Albert flippin' hall by doing this on their own.
00:19:39The Royal Albert flippin' hall by jouer
00:19:41With glass andсти.
00:19:51essential music
00:19:53When I am down
00:19:56And all My world so weary
00:20:03When troubles come
00:20:06And my heart burdened be
00:20:11Then I am still
00:20:16And wait here in the silence
00:20:21Until you come
00:20:25And sit a while with me
00:20:31You raise me up
00:20:35So I can stand on mountains
00:20:40You raise me up
00:20:45To walk on stormy seas
00:20:50I am strong
00:20:53When I am on your shoulders
00:20:58You raise me up
00:21:02To more than I can be
00:21:11You raise me up
00:21:16To more than I can be
00:21:30Look at me
00:21:33You may think you see
00:21:37Who I really am
00:21:40But you'll never know me
00:21:44Every day
00:21:47It's as if I play a part
00:21:54Now I see
00:21:56If I wear a mask
00:22:00I can fool the world
00:22:03But I cannot fool my heart
00:22:12Who is that girl I see
00:22:18Staring straight back at me
00:22:23When will my reflection show
00:22:29Who are you inside
00:22:37There's a heart
00:22:39There's a heart that must be free
00:22:42To fly
00:22:45That burns
00:22:48With a need to know
00:22:51The reason why
00:22:56The reason why
00:23:00Why must we all conceal
00:23:06What we think
00:23:08And how we feel
00:23:11Must there be
00:23:13Must there be
00:23:13A secret me
00:23:16I'm forced
00:23:19To hide
00:23:21I won't pretend
00:23:25That I'm
00:23:28Someone else
00:23:30For all time
00:23:33When will my reflection show
00:23:39Who I am inside
00:23:52I
00:24:00Who I am inside
00:24:25Thank you so much, Leah.
00:24:28First and the last time I sang that song was for the coronation for
00:24:35King Charles, where I was accompanied by the brilliant pianist Lang Lang.
00:24:56Now, I've had the pleasure and privilege of working with so many legendary artists, but
00:25:10there is one person I will always wish that I could have worked with.
00:25:18And he was a master at this art form, and that is the late, great Stephen Sondheim.
00:25:43The sun comes up.
00:25:47I think about you.
00:25:54The coffee cup.
00:25:57I think about you.
00:26:00I want you so.
00:26:06It's like I'm losing my mind.
00:26:15The morning ends.
00:26:19I think about you.
00:26:23I talk to friends and think about you.
00:26:30And do they know?
00:26:35It's like I'm losing my mind.
00:26:42I don't know.
00:26:45I want you.
00:26:54I don't know.
00:26:58I don't know.
00:27:00I don't know.
00:27:02I'm losing my mind.
00:27:05I can't remember.
00:27:08It's like I'm losing my mind.
00:27:09About you
00:27:23Just be
00:27:45Not a day goes by
00:27:50Not a single
00:27:53Day
00:27:56You're not somewhere
00:27:59A part of my life
00:28:02And it looks like you'll stay
00:28:05As the days go by
00:28:11I keep thinking
00:28:13When does it end?
00:28:17Where's the day I'll have started
00:28:20Forgetting
00:28:21But I just
00:28:23Go on thinking
00:28:25And sweating
00:28:26And cursing
00:28:28And crying
00:28:29And turning and reaching
00:28:31And waking
00:28:33And dying
00:28:34And I
00:28:37Not a day
00:28:39Goes by
00:28:41Not a blessed
00:28:45Day
00:28:48You're still somehow
00:28:51A part of my life
00:28:55And you won't go away
00:28:57So there's hell to play
00:29:03And until I die
00:29:09I'll die
00:29:11I'll die
00:29:12Day after day
00:29:13After day
00:29:14After day
00:29:17After day
00:29:18After day
00:29:18After day
00:29:19Till the days go by
00:29:23Till the days go by
00:29:28All of the night
00:29:31All of the night
00:29:31Doing every little chore
00:29:34The thought of you
00:29:36stays bright
00:29:39Sometimes I stand
00:29:42In the middle of the floor
00:29:43Not going left
00:29:47Not going right
00:29:50Hiding in the night
00:29:54Hiding in the night
00:29:54To think about you
00:29:56Spent sleepless nights
00:29:59To think about you
00:30:02You said you loved me
00:30:07Or are you just
00:30:10Being kind
00:30:15Or am I losing my
00:30:23Mind
00:30:24Or am I losing my
00:30:32To think about you
00:30:33I'll die
00:30:33I'll die
00:30:36I'll die
00:30:40I'll die
00:31:02Maybe this time
00:31:04I'll be lucky
00:31:07Maybe this time
00:31:12For the first time

00:36:32And so what
00:36:34If I love each feather and each spangle
00:36:37Why not
00:36:38Try to see things from a different angle
00:36:46Your life is a sham
00:36:49Till you can shout
00:36:51Out loud I am what I am
00:37:00I am what I am
00:37:05And what I am needs no excuses
00:37:11I deal my own back
00:37:16Sometimes the ace
00:37:19Sometimes the deuces
00:37:24It's one life
00:37:26And there's no return and no deposit
00:37:30One life
00:37:32So it's time to open up your closet
00:37:42Life's not worth a damn
00:37:45Till you can say
00:37:48Hey world I am what I am
00:38:01I am what I am
00:38:03I am what I am
00:38:05I am what I am
00:38:06I am what I am
00:38:06I am what I am
00:38:07I am what I am
00:38:34Right now, I want to ask y'all to show some love
00:38:37To my beautiful band and singers
00:38:42That's right, put the light on them

00:42:25Now, let me ask y'all a question
00:42:32Have you ever met someone
00:42:38And before they even said a word
00:42:40You knew somehow
00:42:46That your life was gonna change
00:42:49And that you were never going to be the same
00:42:53Well, that's what happened to me
00:42:56When I met this woman
00:42:59On the West End
00:43:02Who lived on a little street called Sunset Boulevard
00:43:10Her name is Norma Desmond
00:43:33With one look I can break your heart
00:43:41With one look I can break your heart
00:43:43With one look I play every part
00:43:48I can make your heart see
00:43:54With one look you'll know
00:43:59For all you need to know
00:44:04With one smile
00:44:08With one smile
00:44:08With one smile
00:44:08I'm the girl next door
00:44:11For the love that you've hungered for
00:44:18Oh, I speak it with my soul
00:44:26I can play any role
00:44:32No words can tell
00:44:36The stories my eyes tell
00:44:40Watch me when I frown
00:44:43You can't write that down
00:44:46You know I'm right
00:44:50It's there in black and white
00:44:53When I look your way
00:44:56You'll hear what I say
00:45:01Yes, with one look
00:45:04I put words to shame
00:45:08Just one look sets the screen aflame
00:45:17Silence music starts to play
00:45:22One tear in my eye
00:45:26Makes the whole world cry
00:45:32We've one look
00:45:35They'll forgive the past
00:45:38They'll rejoice
00:45:41I've returned at last
00:45:46To my people in the dark
00:45:53Still out there in the dark
00:46:17Silence music starts to play
00:46:21With one look you'll know
00:46:26All you need to know
00:46:30All you need to know
00:46:31With one look I'll end up blaze
00:46:40I'll return to my glory days
00:46:50I'll say no more must back
00:46:53Unless
00:46:57This time I'm staying
00:46:59I'm staying for good
00:47:01I'll be back where I was born to be
00:47:09I'll be back
00:47:10With one look I'll be back
00:47:29Thank you so much.
00:47:33Thank you so much.
00:48:03Thank you so much.
00:48:24I know my way around here, cardboard rings, the painted seas, the sound too.
00:48:39Yes, a world to rediscover, but I'm not in any hurry.
00:48:52And I need an amen.
00:49:04Oh, whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways.
00:49:15The atmosphere as thrilling here as always.
00:49:28Feel the early morning madness.
00:49:34Feel the magic in the making.
00:49:40Why everything's as if we never said goodbye.
00:49:52I've spent so many mornings just trying to resist you.
00:50:02I'm trembling now.
00:50:06You can't know how I've missed you.
00:50:12Missed the fertile adventures in this ever-spinning playground.
00:50:24We were young together.
00:50:35I'm coming out of makeup.
00:50:40The light's already burning.
00:50:45Not long until the cameras will start the day.
00:50:56And the early morning madness.
00:51:02And the magic in the making.
00:51:07Yes, everything says it
00:51:11We never said goodbye
00:51:17I don't want to be alone
00:51:23That's all in the past
00:51:28This world's waiting long enough
00:51:33Have come home
00:51:45At last
00:51:49And this time will be bigger
00:51:53And brighter than you wait
00:51:59So watch me fly
00:52:02We all know I can't do it
00:52:07Could I stop my hand from shaking?
00:52:13Has there ever been a moment
00:52:18With so much to leave for
00:52:33No whisper conversations
00:52:42In overcrowded hallways
00:52:48So much to say
00:52:51Not just today
00:52:54But always
00:52:58We'll have early morning madness
00:53:04We'll have magic in the making
00:53:09Yes, everything says it
00:53:14We never said goodbye
00:53:24Yes, everything says it
00:53:29We never said goodbye
00:53:42We taught the world
00:53:46New ways to dream
00:54:40I just have to give a special thank you to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jamie Lloyd.
00:54:56Andrew, we've been friends and working together for a very long time and I am so grateful
00:55:02that you are here tonight.
00:55:04Thank you so much.
00:55:05Please give it up for Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, everyone.
00:55:22Andrew, you believed in me over 15 years ago.
00:55:25Where is the time gone?
00:55:44I want to thank you so much, Andrew, tonight for being here.
00:55:48You have been instrumental in weaving my musical travesty of my heart and soul.
00:55:57And I just want to say I love you so much.
00:56:07And to my visionary director who redefines what theater can really be, Jamie Lloyd, I just
00:56:17want to thank you for daring me to be brave and then braver and still braver than that.
00:56:33I love you.
00:56:34I love you too.
00:56:36Right now, I'd like to take a moment for a friend of mine who is no longer with us.
00:56:50He was and is a big part of who I am.
00:56:55He was my mentor, my big brother.
00:57:03And he encouraged and empowered me through my times of struggle and self-doubt and uncertainty
00:57:13to never stop believing, to never give up, and to never stop creating.
00:57:21He would always say to me, it is when you're creating is when you are closest to God.
00:57:28So in honor of him tonight, I'd like to share with you one of his songs.
00:57:57I never meant to cause you in your sorrow.
00:58:04I never meant to cause you any pain.
00:58:12I only wanted one time to see you laughing.
00:58:19I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain, purple rain, purple rain.
00:58:29Let me hear you sing.
00:58:30Let me hear you sing, baby.
00:58:31Let me hear you sing, baby.
00:58:31You sound so beautiful.
00:58:42Purple rain, purple rain.
00:58:52I only want to see you.
00:58:56I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
00:58:56I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain.
00:58:59I never meant to be your wicked lover.
00:59:07I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
00:59:20I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
00:59:26It's such a shame, a shame, a shame
00:59:30Our friendship had to win
00:59:33Sing
00:59:33Purple rain, purple rain
00:59:41Purple rain, purple rain
00:59:49Purple rain, purple rain

01:00:23And you too, and you too, and you too
01:00:27You say you want to need it
01:00:31But you can't seem to make up your mind

01:00:38To the purple rain

01:15:31Leave it alone.
01:15:33Leave it alone.
01:15:34Cause if it ain't love, it just ain't enough to leave her happy home.
01:15:40If it ain't love, leave it alone.
01:15:43Let's keep it friendly.
01:15:45Let's keep it friendly.
01:15:46You have to play, but you have to be fair.

01:17:55I want to thank you all so much for making my dream come true tonight.
01:18:02I love you so much, UK.
01:18:05Put your hands together.
01:18:08If you can't push me now, there's no peace in place.
01:18:12If you think I'm coming back, don't fall back.
01:18:17What you did to me, oh, I can't forget.
01:18:20If you think I'm coming back, don't fall back.
01:18:27I was under your spell for such a long time.
01:18:30Couldn't break the chains.
01:18:32You play with my heart, swore me apart with real eyes and games.
01:18:36You took all the strength I had, but I caught up on my feet again.
01:18:41And you're trying to roll me back, but no, those days ago my pain.
01:18:45I loved you so much that I thought someday that you could change.
01:18:49But all you brought me was a heart full of pain.
01:18:52You said you could change.
01:18:55You said you could change now, there's no peace in place.
01:18:57If you think I'm coming back, don't fall back.
01:19:02What you did to me, boy, I can't forget.
01:19:05If you think I'm coming back, don't fall back.
01:19:11I said don't hold your breath.
01:19:14You said you could change.
01:19:18Move on, don't look back.
01:19:22Don't look back.
01:19:23Don't look back.
01:19:24Jumped off the train, running off the tracks.
01:19:27Your day's gone.
01:19:29Pace the past.
01:19:44Pace the past.
01:19:44Oh, somebody jump.
01:20:14Don't hold your breath.
01:20:17I said don't hold your breath.
01:20:22I said don't hold your breath.
01:20:26Don't hold your breath.
01:20:30Don't hold your breath.
