seems sort of ironic to me to be using an artist like Ani juxtaposed with corporate media images, I don't think she would dig being used as a commercial for that product. This tune is one of her many genius works.
I think it's more about the relationship between Sara and Grissom and this song describes it beautifully. I think Ani is good enough to survive this^^. It won't give this indeed genius work any negative connotation.
there's a time and place for all genre's and the artist within them. true a lot of music is so formulaic due to the drive for making profits that much of music is unbearable, but that is true for all of music. I think the problem a lot of us face when listening to some music is we can't relate to it so we dismiss it. All the while that artist may impact someone vitally because they relate whole heartedly we should try and explore other points of reference before dismissing ones art.
But taht doesnt mean rap and R&B isnt good; cuz i think that rap and R&B is good. Maybe not all of em, but some are really good. And Ani is really good (:
I first heard of Ani on a Canadian show call "The Hour." I think because she is such a non conformist that she'll never be considered mainstream. Good for her. I think she's brilliant. As far as R and B goes, try Amel Larrieux, who is not Neo Soul because there's nothing new about Soul. As far as rap, there's nothing better than old school, baby.
is in my oppinion a very well self respected woman, with greattttt lyrics and the melody goes perfect with everyone of her songs, she is one of the very few talented artists, all this RNB shit and rap is fucking garbage, these days you rarely hear something with meaningful lyrics/great tune, none of this bullshit "SOULJA BOY"
I have to disagree, especially when it comes to free-style rapping. It takes an extraordinary amount of talent and wit to do that. It's just a matter of taste, that's all.
ugh, soulja boy... how anyone can consider music like that talent is beyond me. There are lots of good rap songs if you search threw all the grabage, sure. Sorry but Timbaland, Snoop Dog and Pussycat Dolls songs aren't MUSIC.
How could Ani DiFranco possibly get away with writing a song titled "Not a Pretty Girl"? She is the sexiest female singer/songwriter that ever existed, in my opinion.
Both Ani Difranco and Fiona Apple are beautiful artists who write their own lyrics and music....which is a lot more than you can say for all these other 'artists' these days in the billboards top 100. They both deserve the same respect.
Good video IMO...very fitting for Sara of CSI. I will be sad to see her leave the show as she has planned. I'd like to see her life come to some resolution at the end of her time on CSI, but I have a suspicion...that she will meet some dark end...either through her ongoing emotional conflict, getting to close to the flame one too many times and ending up a victim....or she will just walk away after some bitter experience and finally say "screw it".

This jtswhip fellow makes no sense. At least I have an argument about Ani - she is a ball of cliches, a pothead princess, and a ballad of egomania ready to burst open the closet doors and cry, "I'm a lesbian, take me away Ellen...!" I rest my case, and I forgive you, jtswhipped.
I have to agree with Eddie on this one. 'underthebridge' means you're a troll, which means you have a stupid riddle to solve. I'll solve it now. I'll be the Billy Goat, and your riddle is why can't you say EXACTLY why Ani's voice is incredible?
HEY Fiona Apple is amazing asshole, and so is Ani. how about all of you shut the fuck up and watch the fucking video, cause in case you didn't know, YouTube isn't made for pathetic 40 year olds living in their mother's basements to argue about who is stupider...you both win. go figure.
Oh for goodness sake you are being so petty. It's pathetic. Getting at me because of my screen name?! Do you really have nothing better to do than slag of a singer? What is the point in all this?
And do please tell me woodensaw, what exactly an idolicizer is? Is it possibly idolizer you mean?
but Ani Difranco honestly has one of the best voices i have ever ever heard. it is truly beautiful. I saw her live at this tiny venue last friday (YAY! FUCKING INCREDIBLE!) and her voice sounded even more amazing than it does on cd... seriousy eddie, mate, how can you possibly think that her voice is "lousy"?!
Now, for the answer to the riddle above: Incredible actually means "has no credibility." Argue with me and you will be wrong. I agree with you then, that Ani sings like she's strung out on crack, and her lyrics are mostly cheasy cliches. If you like cliches, well, I guess that means she's "incredible." Idolicizer. CSI blows.
You plebian character...the dictionary definition of 'incredible' is: "beyond belief or understanding; unbelievable", or, informally: "marvellous; amazing". Underthebridge obviously meant this in an informal fashion and so you'll find that you are wrong. I'm not that big a fan of ani either but people like you make me sick...do some productive like kill yourself.
Good comment eddie. American Idol has definately produced some musical geniuses. If thats how you gauge musical talent, its no wonder you feel the way you do. Go back to your Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson albums.

Ani DiFranco is such a lousy singer - there are many other singers that can sing better than her. Her guitar playing is not bad. Such a overated singer!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ani - I know it's you answering this. You are great in self promotion. Ani is just a lousy singer. If she ever goes on American Idol, seh won't even make it past the 1st round. Yoyr lyrics just go on and on with no point.
why are you a fan - you "Fans" never say. You just mindlessly worship. Shame on you all. Her music is shallow and cliche-ridden, filled with femi-hippy-pothead angst, which I could easily deconstruct in one word: "loser." Try listening to Fiona Apple and then tell me, who's the victor?
Any chance anyone knows the episode name(s) of the one where Sara is crying and Grissom holds her hand and comforts her and the one where she's pissed and pushes the dude with the blue/gray sweater? Thanks!
I can see her driving to a scene and listing to this thinking "Damn it I wish catherine would rescue me, if only I was a pretty girl, and Grissom would STFU"
Yeah, totally, and being all, "I'm NOT a pretty girl, but dammit! I do good work! TAKE ME SERIOUSLY GRISSOM!" or... you know... something like that ;)
LOL. You amuse me so. xD This is a great vid, by the way. I don't normally watch videos about shows that arn't anime, but I couldn't resist when I saw a favorite song and show in one place. XD

Not all rap is rubbish. Sift through your Snoop Dogs and your 50 Cents, you have gems like Talib Kweli ("Get by") and K-Os ("The Lov e Song".
I'm not a rap listener, by any means, I'm more indie rock, so I suppose my suggestions aren't really valid.
