Sam Tsui - Applause Lyrics

I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critics saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)

Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

I've overheard your theory
"Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read

One second I'm a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)

Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

Ooh touch, touch ooh
Touch, touch now ooh ooh ooh ooh

I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause

Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (Turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)

Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch (Make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch

A-R-T-P-O-P

i love it more than the original who else like!

Maybe whenever colabo BTS&Sam? Please? #PolandArmy

Am I the only one who came from the oikawa tooru amv?

is this roomie's rival?

Why your face like Shawn mendes

ok but has anyone seen that amv of oikawa tooru with this song?

This song has been stuck inside my head since I've watched that yuri on ice amv!

Vine por Miraculous Ladybug. No preguntas.

Armyyyyy

@Singi Hahn así es uwu

Show yourself from frozen 2! 🤔🤷‍♂️💯

There wouldn't be this version if it wasn't for the original. The original is set up in a different fabric and tone while this one's in a different world. Both excellent for the genres they were made for.

Молодец,ооочень талантливый человек!

me encanta
mejor k el de la misma lady gaga

This is amazing but imagine if Gaga had actually sang it like this. I'd actually diiiiieeeeeee

Woah,this is better than orginal 😍😍😍❤❤❤

Only found this now but its my favourite cover

One of my top 5 Sam Tsui Covers...Bro this goes so beyond hard in the paint of covers omg... Totally lipsyncing and choregraphing as I type this..... Is there anyway you can Cover Zendaya's Replay?? I feel that would be epic

This is one of the best covers I've ever heard, just gorgeous, good job! I was super in love with the song. 😍😍♥️

The most people is here from yuri on ice so I am the only one from oikawa haikyuu??

I know that these comments are old, but please don't just say that you like this song because you found it on a yuri on ice amv. This work of art deserves more than that. ❤️

December 2018?

he sounds so cute when he says "give me the thing that i love,i'll turn the lights on",am i right?

I ❤ YOUR VOICE ❤
(Sorry my English is not good)

I wish you had an instrumental as well as your original. Your vocals are wonderful but I want to have clear hearing of the instruments.

The tune from the original was a little too intense for me. It had a really high tempo and was really overwhelming. I really love how you turned the background music into a lovely instrumental piece. I was able to enjoy the song a lot more when I wasn't trying to find a comfortable volume to listen at. Well done guys, well done!

👍👍👍👍👍

Still listening 😍

Better than the original. Doesn't even compare.

Got here from the voltron fandom.

YeeT

Same here.

Came from a Lance AMV.

—ρяιиcє— Wait, really? That’s cool. Link? I came from YOI

I have been looking for someone here for my fandom!!

I like your version even more than the original

this song reminds me of pride! roman from sanders sides. like if u agree

😍😍😍



I hate this channel dammit all the covers are better than the originals. Too much talent for one person. Gosh I love you Sam.

Am I the only one who found this through the Haikyuu fandom and not YOI? Lol
(I love YOI tho so no hate)

"Give me the thing that I love" which would be an hour long version of this
Please, thanks 😘👌

I love this more than the original ;^; sorry Lady Gaga i still love you

Well you can have my applause!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yup,
DEFINITELY better than the original.
