[vickyg690]

that is talent esto es talento

[vickyg690]

i wanna be her friend and stay when she need somebody to talk

[lindseypan25]

awesome

[FreakMeat74]

You can hear it really well when she says "And no one saw and no one heard."

[FreakMeat74]

Her voice hums with power. You can definitely hear it, and almost feel it. The only other song I've ever heard that sounds like that is oddly enough American Woman by The Guess Who. Completely unrelated to this song, but that's what I noticed, as far as the voice having power in it.

[ninosl2001]

Lovely,, digging this...!! Feels a bit like cheating on Tori...

[BlindBlannche]

oh god. oh god. she is so SUPERIOR

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Her voice is flawless live. It's so refreshing. I hate when I love a musician and go see them live and they suck. I feel lied to. But Regina's voice don't lie!

[pinkgal221]

[superbelladonna]

God, I wish I was that microphone! Ö ♥

[benxander]

I remember this like yesterday, was a great performance. Was amazing to see live.

[Sibron10]

[pheobeandjade88]

OMG she is amazing i love her she is gorgeous <3

[TheSwayingWillow]

im glad artists like this still exsist! none of this ke$ha autotune shit. i like this!

[gabo3rn]

every one likes yeeeeei

[sabbathmcfreely]

i love this i love this i love this....especially the bit when she stops singing and just goes dum, dum, dum on the piano, slow and steady, head cocked, looking completely absorbed. that moment is brilliant.

[crashkadara]

Omg, I love her so much.

I'm a singer and my only goal in my entire career is to have a fraction of her talent, If I got that, I'd be done.

She is completely spektacular.

Love; Birdie

[streetlampsatsix]

wow, 260 likes and 0 dislikes, that's amazing! you hardly ever see such a ratio on youtube. 

[dnine14]

How I would like to be that Microphone.

[lidimotoc]

Regina in my language (Romanian) , means Queen . Regina Spektor is my Music Queen ! I adore her !

[blackjacksim5]

@lidimotoc also in my language (italian)!!

[FluffyShiNoTenshi]

One of the single most compelling performances I have ever seen. Pure talent, and she doesn't need any gimmicks to make people aware of that.

May there always be an encore, or at least a replay button, Regina! :)

[krossbonnez]

She is really a wonderful singer. This song is soo difficult to sing. And she sounds sooo good live even while playing the piano ... which can be a distraction for a singer. What a talent !

[2ddsquared]

fucking amazing i swear

[2ddsquared]

time is going by fast because ihave you:)

[snickbobbit]

i can't even explain what this song says to me....

[Ikonta]

What I most love about Regina is that she is not affraid in any way to show emotion in her song writing. So many pop stars only what to just scratch the surface and not delve deep into the heart and sould of the music. Not Regina. It may make you sad, or think, but she is brave enough to say it. Thank you for being so honest.

[helmo]

Aphrodite you've been replaced <3

[Edu723]

i go to school 2 blocks from that B&N.... why oh why didnt i know about this performaaaaance :( <3her

[enelieiram]

Michael Jackson + Regina Spektor = My favorite, most unique and human entertainers. :) <3

[Windexx11]

:O that was.... fckn A M A Z I N G <3'

muchh lovee, Windexx11

[markwdupree]

You go through life happily thinking you know what you like and don't like... then you find Regina Spektor and she shows you something that you never knew could exist. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Her artistry, her tone, her lyrics... Her music attaches you so close to her... you feel like she is your personal friend. I count myself lucky to be living in a time when I can witness her genius.

[jhnevn]

Wow. I'm a big fan of hers but that was just amazing.

[egegdibo]

YES my favorite song ever

[jkarlosanm]

This is talent. I adore Regina...

[heathercolebaby09]

So amazing. Regina has so much natural talent which is evident when you watch this video.

[G03Helix]

best thing on TV , I PROMISE

[juelzzone92]

Dear Regina Spektor, thank you for existing!!

[JonasGreywolf]

Blue, the sky, the oceans, the earth. The song is about humanity becoming disconnected from their origins of the earth. Whether the man is homeless matters not. What matters, is that on his journey through life he sees the pattern of behavior in humans & it makes him question life, faith, humans & it makes him feel sad- Blue.

[ravengypsywings]

@JonasGreywolf I think it's more than that--I think it's humanity becoming disconnected from humanity. This is why she stresses "the most human colour" and why she includes the verse on a child stopping to rest and waking up to find he is no longer a child but instead an adult, passed by. I agree that the homeless bit might be a stretch but there certainly is something there about the fact that the main character is neglected.

[ravengypsywings]

You know, I like my voice well enough--but I could never imbue it with such emotion! How does she DO that?! :)

[giftedangel6]

I love how she plays, it's as though she's actually BREATHING life into themusic. Awesome, as usual!

[two2birds]

The color blue, based on this song, represents the universality of humanity. Throughout our lives, we are surrounded and filled with the color blue: blue veins, blue lips (representing death, as your lips, if you're more fair-skinned, turn blue when they lack oxygen), blue oceans, etc. So, it's "the most human color."

[CoqueSpoke]

@two2birds It's the most earthly color thats forsure

[kuruji]

Take note that this is one Russian girl who didnt need a Mel Gibson to jump start her career. I am so glad that Gibson found Grgorieva and not Regina

[PatrickWhite85]

This song makes me want to recover my childhood fascination with the sky.

[PatrickWhite85]

In what sense is blue the most human colour? What does that possible mean?

[KarakZhufbar]

@PatrickWhite85

In the sense that humans tend to get 'the blues'.

[ravengypsywings]

@PatrickWhite85 If I could venture a guess, I think that this person whom everyone passes by is a homeless man with a fascination for spirituality. "The most human colour" could then refer to the fact that he is, after all, merely mortal and possibly freezing to death. But Two2birds had a good explanation, too.

[kyorgadorgen]

she's so freaking beautiful.

[PatrickWhite85]

Is "blue lips" a reference to the protagonist's death?

[MuDkIpZBIP]

DUDE SHE'S F***ING AWESOME LIVE. SHE IS LITERALLY /THE/ BEST ARTIST OUT THERE. <3

[moneyquickeasy]

I am in love with this beautiful, beautifully talented woman.

[SeattleMashUps]

i met her she's mad short.

[discopeppers344]

@SeattleMashUps Lol What?

[SeattleMashUps]

@discopeppers344 saw her in new york before a concert when i was going to the bathroom she was going on stage she's like 4'10. I was like Hey regina! she turned around stunned. Then i said Hey and she was like hey.

[discopeppers344]

@SeattleMashUps Lol that means she's shorter then I am! I am 5'00!! Hahahahaa!

[lisamj]

i am so excited! i was there but way in the back and i used the telefoto lens as best i could but of course some big headed man kept standing in my way. i got great closeups of his ugly bald head...but i digress, THIS PERFORMANCE WAS INCREDIBLE...TRULY AMAZING....only now did i find that this recording was made. thank you. i was there but this is such a great view i wasn't afforded in real life so thanks for showing her amazing face and mannerisms. great performance! thanks for posting!

[JJsoccer717]

I like the number of dislikes there are. :)

[N1Y2R3E4E5]

RIP Dan Cho

[AnthonyMinsky]

I really liked this interview lady. Kinda different. Really focused on Regina. She's either a really big fan already or really studied up on her. Whatever it was, I liked it.

[ak123456p]

RIP Dan Cho

[shadesofblack94]

i was there!!!

[Ikonta]

Boy does Ragina ever bring it live or what?

[GleamingI]

Thank you for the smile you gave me.

[nicolevm]

I wish she was my friend.

[loverlyluffgusms]

She performs this song with so much feeling. I get chills all the way through.

[Rachelmariaaa]

Wow she looks hot in retro style

[manudosde]

That was a hell of a live performance. Flawless.

[Thayet1000]

Wow

[Mario12874]

Her russian accent comes out a little bit in this song she's so adorable XD

[greenfordgirl99]

GOD i love her! <3

[lollysa3]

she s the star =)

[deetardeded]

I think I can go as far as to say I MUCH rather her live performances than her produced studio versions. I could see why she doesn't like the release some of them or take some of them to the studio. She's a realist, a performer, she loves to travel and spread something. I think that her CDs came after her live performances.

[SwimForYourLife5]

i loveit. i love the song. i love regina and shes adorable :)

[daderth]

why did she let her new album be so fucking overproduced? this song is so much more beautiful this way, gosh. :'[

[armpit4life]

so she could blow your fucking mind when she performs it live

[soybeanerf]

i had a chance to see this and i'm mad at myself for missing it. i love and respect regina spektor so much.

[happymsw]

Dude, my friends and i go to barnes and noble every wednsday after school. why doesn't she ever play at our barnes and noble, she's so much better than coffe and magazines!

[3redsilva]

her timing is amazing ^^ and she is one of the few artists that sound exactly the same live and on track .. i adore her <3

[moneyquickeasy]

@3redsilva Not the same, better.

[rainingawesomeness]

@3redsilva i never realized it but you're totally right

[frannytrois64]

@3redsilva The reason she sounds so great live is because people always compare singers based on live performances and their voice on recording. Well, her producers don't need to do anything to her voice for her CD's, because her voice is flawless. Her vocal range is godly, and people love her.

[smaidiigaa25]

she is just amazing! no words

[vishalquake3]

Daaaaaaaaaamn !!

[CalmBlue]

@kawaiipanda24 And I would undoubtedly go straight.

[tekinak007]

@kawaiipanda24 might be a little hard considering she is remarkably religious and not a lesbian herself :P

[lubylui]

oh good lord, this is so beautiful

[soulfoodmonkey]

shes soo sexy, and her music is genius

[jenrefen]

This is my favorite song of hers! It still amazes me how she sings and plays the piano at the same time, I can't do either :P

[matacoz]

Very nice

[manco82]

This is a miniature piano trio!

[ThumbprintTheatrics]

Dear Regina Spektor, thank you for existing.

[h3ll0iLuvy0u]

omg, i wish she would come to the one i work at :(

[aikighost]

Fantastic. I'm going to see Regina tonight in London. I'm so looking forward to it :D

[royalicecream]

impressive!

[begreen1991]

I love how it is just the piano, cello, and viola. It sounds beautiful.

[fushigilady]

God, she's incredible

[newfoundanger]

NIce to actualy see what I had heard waaaaay in the back of the room :(

[arcadefire4life]

NO RED LIPSTICK??

[Kuzyarina]

And her hair is semi-straight! SHOCK HORROR!!! :-)

[LittleBigVoice]

Thanks for uploading this video of an excellent performance. I only saw Regina live once, on the hottest evening of the year in Brighton, a couple of years ago, but she puts so much into a live performance that you just have to love her to bits.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Just so so beautiful!!

[WeidnerbrautDD]

Haben wir doch toll hingekriegt was!? ;)
