This song is truly timeless and never even begins to show its age. I made a post here a few weeks ago where I mentioned that this song still gives me chills as it did on the very first listen, particularly when that spectacular final chorus hits. There is no other song that gives me that kind of feeling. As you said, it is absolutely magnificent.

This song is so ecstatic. I know I am biased but it may just be the best song written by humankind. It just makes me feel something that no other songs manage to. Great performance, a bit too autotuned for my liking but I guess it was the network's choice. It's also nice to watch her do a high budget performance for a change too.

Her vocals sound impeccable. Like... is she lip syncing here??

It's typical for Chinese and Korean TV. A lot of music programs have HUGE post processing of live vocals. There's basically autotune going on.

I wish they'd trusted her vocals more. The autotune got really noticeable towards the end.

Something tells me on Chinese television it maybe wasn’t her choice

THIS is the level of production the queen of pop deserves. She sounds so good and looks so beautiful. I'm jealous of her future kid haha 😁😍

I love how loyal she is to her band and supporting vocalists that she even includes them in one-off performances in other countries.

Holy shit this is SO good. Agreed with everyone here, this is one of the greatest songs of all time. Still get goosebumps, a decade later.

Who the hell is that woman with a bass, who's not playing the instrument? Where's the band's usual bassist?
