At first I thought there was no way that he could sing in this voice, but then I remembered what troy sounded like when he cried

Dude sang this shit live with no sweetener or wet reverb or nothing jesus christ

This dudes whole life is one big game of look what else I can do

I am so shocked and impressed that this is him singing the song. I've only listened to this song on spotify, prime music, or a friend playing it in a car. I always thought this was another person singing.

i really thought his voice was pitch shifted on the album version its wild that he can actually sing like that

He always wears that same shirt

Writer, director, actor, singer, producer, comedian. Bro multi classed

Oh wow... I thought he was making his voice higher pitched electronically all this time. He can sing really well, he acts really well, he is really funny, he directs really well. What can't this man do? He is truly so talented! I don't think there is anyone who truly has excelled in all the different art categories in his generation and in a long time. I hope he continues to release amazing art for a long time 😄

Stand up, writing, acting, rapping, singing, producing, your girl. What can't he do?

“I wonder what happened in those other timelines”-Abed

Also, Ludwing Goransson slaying in the guitar!

Dude has produced critically acclaimed songs, an award winning show, and is an incredible comedian. Im half expecting him to create and open an incredible art gallery next.

i still can't believe he sings in falsetto the whole song...

A true Renaissance man Actor, singer, rapper, comedian, director, producer, writer, dancer

No autotune, just pure talent

I still remember this. Everyone thought there was some vocal processing going on, but when he opened his mouth and put that to rest, it was a real "lightbulb" moment.

you can understand that his high notes are real from the freakout scenes of troy

Donald what can you do? Donald Glover: Yes

I like how Ludwig Göransson played the guitar. He produced the song and also composed for big blockbuster films such as Black Panther and Oppenheimer and is also a 2 time Oscar winning Composer

One of the most impressive live performances I’ve ever seen. Dude is crazy talented

So lemme get this straight he was an actor in community then went on to become a comedian on 30 rock and now is a singer/rapper he has unlimited talent

His vocal range is incredible!

So many people saying "no autotune?", it's really a shame that a SINGER needs to impress by showing that he knows how to SING.

You can tell how Jimmy came on the stage to thank him. He was so happy that Donald put 110% stank on that performance. Best performance!!!!

Wow he isn't using autotune. I'm impressed he has so much control over his voice

How does he alter his voice like that? Damn. When I first heard the album I thought it was female vocals.

This perfomance should be engraved in stone for all generations to come to enjoy. 2022 and its definitely still a vibe. Much love from Kenya. Thank you Gambino. This is true art🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪

i had no idea this song wasn't pitch shifted. i have an entirely new respect for him now... jesus christ

my respect to this guy after finding out this is his real voice

I swear people are sleeping on this guy, he can sing that high! he can rap, he can act, he is a comedian, he directs/produce... and we are so obsessed with people who have no talent *side eye*

Everything about this is incredible. This man is a generational talent and so humble after absolutely smashing his performance he gives a little bow at the end of it. Nothing but love for Donald Glover/Childish Gambino. Everything he does is amazing.

I love that you can tell he's singing it live. The occasional second where he slides to the right pitch, or the ad libs that make it sound so powerful and impressive. Its not studio manipulation, he just has an insane vocal range.

How can a person be so fckin *talented*

😂😂 This is amazing! I had to hear him sing it live to believe it was actually his voice

Funny note: one of the guys playing the guitar solo produced the song. His name is Ludwig Göransson and he also made The Mandalorian's score.

Getting Prince vibes & it feels so gud!💖

@4:30 he stumbles as soon as Prince's soul has left his body.

Childish took the *"Im not using any autotunes"* phrase to a whole another level

took off his shirt and straight up sang his real voice, mans a damn champion!

Hes more on pitch than his backup singers....

This man's vocal range is impressive. Sick boy no more.

Holy shit…his voice live is near perfect to the original recording, that’s some insane talent right there

I've heard the song on the radio today and I'm glad for it. Been listening to it in a loop since this morning. What an amazing song and performer!!!

I never knew that was him singing... I thought maybe he just produced it and had a ghost singer. that's crazy talent

Redbone is song👍

the resurrection of black soul artist

No one will ever cover a Donald Glover song and do it any justice

I had no idea gambino would attempt this kind of track. He's diverse as can be. Multiple talents

When they said he could only rap and act.

I went to his This Is America Tour in Paris back in 2019 and this song was so AMAZING. Ain't no video that can transcribe the chills and thrills you get when he's singing this song. It was THEE BEST song I ever heard live for all my life and I went to a lot of concerts. I love this man. So talented and hardworking.

The guitars all joining in at 3:52 is the best part! 🔥🔥🔥

MOST TALENTED HUMAN WALKING THIS EARTH

This guy's voice just murders my brain. So dope.

This voice, amazing, unique, and exotic!

And the greatest film composer of our time is chillin in the background on the guitar

*shirt has left the chat*

This song is such an incredible moment in musical history. Time froze when I first heard this song. You hear it and it's one of those songs that's just instantly a classic and iconic, the groove is so fresh. Nobody could put out a 70s funkadelic album like this these days and get it to be a hit besides Childish. And what a voice-- damn. Channeling both Prince and James Brown. Just a left-field, pleasantly unexpected record.

Insane!! What a voice , what a song!! Timeless. Now this is definition of a true artist and musician… not BS we make mainstream. Out of this world!!! ♥️

Literally just found out he sang this song. Thought it was Macy Gray but he definitely has talent in his range. 🤯

I've always wondered if his voice was autotuned, but the joy I felt when he opened is mouth is unexplainable.

I thought he couldn't sing high pitched. Then I remembered Troy's sneezes.

damn i never realized how much gold this album is im still crying hearing it like 7 years later :(

Damn! I honestly thought he was doing a voice effect to make himself sound like an old black lady, but this dude actually did the voice! Childish Gambino is so talented. I'm a new fan and he's got me hooked now.

the guy who is playing guitar is an Oscar winning film composer for black Panther's score and produced most songs in this Album

I still say Donald channeled the spirit of Prince for this song.

Luv this saw this in the movie. GET Out good flick this is a sexy jam never tire of 👂 to it 😂❤

i had to watch this live version to confirm it was indeed donald glover singing in that voice

Donald Glover has a REALLY strong case to be the most talented person in Hollywood. Actor Writer Director Rapper Singer Producer Dancer Stand Up Comic And he’s really really good at all of those things, how can you not love this man?

This performance gives me chills. 😮

NO AUTOTUNE??? This dude is a vocal beast!!! 🔥🔥🔥

That crowd had no clue how lucky they are to have witnessed such a performance......I can't even come up with words ...like how do you say just wooooo at the end of that.....? Na no way

This man just leaves me marveling at EVERYthing he does, whether singing, dancing, acting, writing, producing for TV, it is almost PAINFUL, the amalgamation of feelings in my body while watching Mr. Glover. "This is America" is a regular viewing. As amazing a MJ was in dance, technically, Danny Glover's dancing in that video, to me, rises above any single dancer performance MJ did in it's expressiveness and storytelling and freedom, etc. And technically, too, it was breathtaking.

he is so expressive, we need more of this kind of musician

This dude is a one man army of talent... he rap, sing, direct, produce, act, does stand-up comedy, babysit, read palms, raise pitbulls, groom unicorns, buy sell & trade used low mileage UFO's, feeds surf and turf to the homeless... and rumor has it, he single handedly built at least 2 pyramids in the heart of Egypt 1000's of years before his own birth

4:11 dude got possessed by Michael Jackson, James Brown, and prince all at the same time.

I think I love this song because its got the energy of a melancholy Prince ballad ☺️. The comments on the vocal range also made me think of Prince ❤. You’re awesome Childish Gambino!

What a performer, such an emotional piece he delivered with so much soul, i aspire ti be like him when im older

Man... That moment at the end when the music stops and the lights turn on and it looks like gambino just got pulled out of another world.

i love how the choir kept saying "niggas" when donald clearly was trying to avoid doing that lmao

DG was in a trance at the end. A Classic & timeliness performance.

Gambino is one of the most talented people to ever walk this earth I get so many Jamie foxx vibes. He’s able to do everything

This audience didn't deserve to hear that magic.

I'm stuck on this version.. He put more into it here than any of his other live or pre-recorded versions. Sounding so clear, no autotune here fo sho

I love this song soooo much ❤ he is the most underrated artist of all-time💯

Amazing performance. The vibe is out of this world 😊😊

i really want that shirt

Gambino is a mastermind...

He's a rock star/funk God all rolled up into one❤

Iconic

The pianist behind is the happiest man on earth

Troy Barnes, a quarterback, a friend, a lover, a performer, and also a brother to abed.😔

that hook on the back end of the song just grabs you and puts you in instant groove mode!

I absolutely love a man that can sing❤❤❤❤ with his original voice and no autotune

he did this shit .... fuck who ever hating on him ... he a fucking winner

Fucking love how he loses himself and at the end just as the lights come on and he realises where he is. Dude is a fucking mastermind.

Best artist of all time!!!!!!

Pure talent. Amazing performance

Troy finished singing Camera pans left... We see abed in the audience shedding a single tear of joy
